The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 685 An unexpected surprise
"Master! Master! Master..."

Zhang Yunyi really kept his word. Although he did not go to the Xue family again, he still wandered around the Xue family's one-third acre of land, but he came to Hengwuyuan.

After all, Xue Baochai is not Fu Qiufang. Facing Zhang Yunyi's powerful attack, she can't help but feel surprised and happy.

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Zhang Yun逸 hugged her and Ying'er on both sides, leaning against the head of the bed and chatting.

She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Master, what's wrong with you today..."

Zhang Yunyi was waiting for this, but he put on a helpless look, shook his head and said: "Alas! ~ The sky here is with your sister-in-law, really..."

He hesitated to speak, and stopped at the point he had made.

Xue Baochai understood his implication and said after a slight hesitation: "How about putting a maid in the room to serve?"

Or they are mother and daughter. Xue Baochai's proposal is exactly the same as that of Aunt Xue.

"Do you think I can serve anyone?"

Zhang Yunyi had no choice but to repeat what he had said to Aunt Xue.

But this time, he did not add anything.

"Then... how about picking a maid from the mansion?"

"What are you talking about? Although Wenlong is in poor health, he has no choice after all. Besides, there are only a few maids in the mansion, and we haven't even arranged one for Third Sister. It would not be appropriate to transfer anyone there."

"Then let Ying'er go over..."

"It's not impossible!"

Ying'er, who was standing by, was eager to try it out after hearing this.

But before she could even agree, Zhang Yunyi patted her head and said something back.

Zhang Yunyi suddenly changed the subject and said, "However, if you want to ask Ying'er to go over, I think it would be better if you take her with you."

"This..." Xue Baochai was stunned.

Zhang Yunyi said confidently: "If we only ask Ying'er to go there, people will always find some clues. On the contrary, if you take her back, it won't arouse suspicion!"

This was originally Xue Baochai's suggestion, so he would naturally not try to cover up the truth or try to deceive himself.

Therefore, it is justified to say so.

"Besides, haven't you always wanted to get pregnant earlier? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have to worry about this. This can be considered as keeping the money within the family."

"But……"

"You are both my uncle's wife and his people, so what's the problem?"

Zhang Yunyi said without question: "Yesterday your brother urged me again and again, if there is no result..."

Xue Baochai may not have doubted Zhang Yunyi's intentions, but she was too concerned and worried. Zhang Yunyi was also putting on so much airs that she couldn't help but worry about spoiling his fun.

If she went to Fu Qiufang every time just to do the job, she would not only gain nothing in the end, but also lose her patience, and she would be the one who suffered.

However, it was really hard for her to agree to it so reluctantly.

Blushing, he pondered for a long while before hesitating, "But my sister-in-law..."

Zhang Yunyi said casually: "She is also worried about this. Let me think of a solution. Otherwise, why would I tell you this?"

All things are difficult at the beginning. Let's deal with Xue Baochai first. As for Fu Qiufang, we can just use the same rhetoric as before to force the issue.

Seeing Xue Baochai's relenting, he was afraid that she would regret it, so he quickly retreated and said, "I have already told her that she will not come over these few days. Let her have a good rest first. The New Year will be here in a few days. When you go home, you won't arouse suspicion."

After saying this, without waiting for Xue Baochai's response, he embraced the two of them, huddled under the quilt, and said, "Okay, it's midnight now, let's go to sleep!"

That night, Zhang Yun逸 slept particularly soundly.

But Xue Baochai suffered, she was full of worries, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. ...

The next day.

Zhang Yunyi did not give Xue Baochai another chance to regret. He dressed neatly in the morning and hurried out, saying, "It's getting late. I haven't had time to exercise in your house these two days. I have to run in the garden for two days. You were tired yesterday, so don't rush to get up and have breakfast with me."

He put on a full show, and after leaving the gate of Hengwu Garden, he ran around the garden in a pretentious manner.

Just as she was about to sneak back home through the east corner gate to have breakfast, she saw a head poking out from the fence of Qingtang's thatched cottage. Who else could it be but Baochan?
She looked around and confirmed that there was no one following Zhang Yunyi. Then she stood up straight and bowed deeply, saying, "Duke!"

Zhang Yunyi was not surprised by Baochan's appearance.

Although he didn't know that Baochan was following Xia Jingui's instructions, he had promised that he would ask him for the person when Jia Baoyu came back. Now, the news of Jia Baoyu's return had been deliberately spread by him to Yihong Courtyard.

But there has been no news for a long time, so I have to find an opportunity to remind him.

However, although he was very proud of himself, he put on a puzzled look on his face and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Master! I heard that Master Bao is back... I, your servant..."

Although Baochan was following Xia Jingui's instructions, she didn't need to be taught how to use her power for personal gain.

What she cares about most is always her own whereabouts.

It was for this reason that she had used the honorific title of Duke when she was greeting him just now. But now, in order to show her feelings, she used the title of Master to indicate closeness.

"Oh!" Zhang Yunyi pretended to be surprised and said, "Please be patient. There are too many things going on recently and I haven't been able to take care of it."

"Huh! Huh!" Although Zhang Yunyi had obviously forgotten about this, as a maid, she naturally did not dare to complain and hurriedly agreed.

It was the end of the year and Xue Pan was getting married. Zhang Yunyi had a lot of things to do in the yamen, so he didn't want to delay. He waved his hand and said, "Go back and wait for news! I will find time to talk to Baoyu later!"

With that said, he was leaving.

"Master!" Baochan saw this and hurriedly called out, "Miss...Miss asked me to tell you that even if Master Bao comes back, she will never..."

"Hmm?" Zhang Yunyi stopped walking after hearing this, turned around and looked at Baochan, and asked, "What did you just say?"

"Miss knows that Master Bao has returned, so she pretends to be sick and asks me to tell you that I will stay by your side no matter what."

Zhang Yunyi was stunned when he was sure that he had heard it correctly.

He thought to himself, could it be that Jia Baoyu failed to convince Mrs. Wang, and instead took another approach and went to find Xia Jingui?

He couldn't help but sneer and said, "It's hard for him to have such...heart!"

Zhang Yun逸 was naturally implying that Jia Baoyu was very filial, but he was not sure how much Jia Baoyu had said, so he was vague and omitted the word "filial piety".

Baochan misunderstood and thought he was praising Xia Jingui. Thinking that she had just taken care of herself, she quickly said, "Master, you are right. Miss has always admired you, but she didn't know your feelings. That's why I sent some Jingui to your house. But... I didn't wait for you. Now that Master Bao has come back, I am a little anxious and asked me to express my feelings to you."

After listening to her explaining the whole cause and effect, Zhang Yunyi realized that he had misunderstood.

Originally, he wanted to pave the way for Xia Jingui through Baochan first, and then hide it from Mrs. Wang and reluctantly accept Jia Baoyu's filial piety.

Now, the intermediate steps have been omitted.

He thought so in his heart, but said: "Go back and tell her that I know her feelings, but I can't let her bear the blame for nothing, I have to help her get rid of the trouble, and go back and wait for good news from me!"

Now that he knew the whole story, it was impossible for Zhang Yun逸 to admit that he was just going with the flow and passively accepting Jia Baoyu's filial piety.

When Baochan heard this, tears almost came out of her eyes.

Zhang Yunyi secretly thought that it was not a good time. He really had something to do. The New Year was approaching, and he was eager to win people's hearts, so he arranged the condolence work early in the morning.

All we can do is deceive ourselves by saying that good things are never too late.
