The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 696: Winning the Prize with the Toad (Part )

Originally, the first time is new, the second time is familiar.

Zhang Yunyi, who was still not satisfied, planned to call Mrs. Xing to Wang Xifeng's room the next day.

Unexpectedly, the two of them were blown by the cold wind and caught a cold, and both of them hung up the sign to avoid fighting.

All the concubines in the family and Mrs. Wang were pregnant, and all the necessary care had been taken care of at the Rongguo Mansion.

In line with the principle of treating everyone equally, he simply took advantage of the holiday to go to Jia Yucun's house and stayed there for one night.

The next day I went to Mei Mansion again.

He had just returned from Xinglong Street when Mrs. Wang came over in a hurry to urge him.

"Everything has been arranged there. You'll be sixteen tomorrow. If you delay any further, I'm afraid you'll show your pregnancy."

In fact, all in all, Mrs. Wang is only a little over two months pregnant, and there is still more than a month before she becomes pregnant.

However, Xiren's words that day did remind her.

He planned to hide it from Xia Jingui and first tricked her into going to the hot spring villa under the pretext of making it easier for her and Zhang Yunyi to have an affair. Then he would let Zhang Yunyi put in some effort to force Xia Jingui to help cover it up.

Zhang Yunyi had no objection to this. After all, there were too many people in the Grand View Garden and it was not as convenient as the hot spring villa.

We immediately made an appointment.

After having dinner with his family at the Lantern Festival, Fang changed into a python robe and went through the East Corner Gate in the night to the Rong Yihong Courtyard.

He and Xia Jingui had never met officially, although it could not be ruled out that she had spied on him from afar.

But Zhang Yunyi knew very well in his heart that even so, it was impossible for him to fall in love with her and have the idea of ​​cheating on her just because he saw her from afar.

It's nothing more than looking at one's own high position and power.

This kind of admiration for the strong is particularly evident in Wang Xifeng.

As soon as the last reward came down, she couldn't wait to taste the Duke's food.

As the saying goes, clothes make the man and saddles make the horse.

He deliberately catered to her preferences and changed into an extremely dazzling dragon robe and jade belt.

"Master!~"

Xiren, who had been ordered to wait at the door early, hurried forward and welcomed him into the Yihong Courtyard.

Then he shouted to the people in the house, "Quick! The Duke is here, go and ask the Second Madam to come out and greet him!"

Xiren was very perceptive. When she saw Zhang Yunyi wearing a dragon robe and jade belt, she even changed the way he addressed her.

Sheyue and Qiu Wen, who were in the room, were a little surprised and confused after hearing Xiren's shouting.

When Zhang Yunyi came in the dark, they thought he was just looking for Baoyu. But why did Xiren, who always behaved properly, still clamor for Xia Jingui to come and greet him?

The lies that Jia Baoyu told to his grandmother had not yet reached their ears.

Just when he didn't know what to do, he heard Zhang Yunyi look around the room and ask, "Is Baoyu not here yet?"

"No! It should be coming soon, right?"

After hearing this, Sheyue and Qiu Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Inside the house, Xia Jingui and her servant, who heard the noise, felt differently.

When Xia Jingui heard Xiren's shouting just now, she couldn't help but complain why Zhang Yun逸 not only didn't inform her in advance, but also made such a fuss about it.

When she heard that Jia Baoyu was coming, she became even more flustered.

Could it be that I was thinking wrongly, and Zhang Yun逸 had no such idea at all, and instead told Jia Baoyu about the matter and came to confront him face to face?
She was full of doubt and confusion, but Baochan beside her had a look of joy on her face.

Zhang Yun逸 and Jia Baoyu had agreed to come together, and they made such a big fuss about it, so it couldn't possibly be because of their own young lady.

On the contrary, Zhang Yun逸 had already said before that he would ask Jia Baoyu for the person.

The master and the servant had their own agenda. Before Xia Jingui could use her illness as an excuse, Baochan could no longer wait and shouted outside, "She's coming! She's coming! Grandma will be out soon."

After being yelled at by her, Xia Jingui knew she couldn't refuse. She glared at Baochan unhappily, then gritted her teeth, lifted her skirt, and reluctantly left the room.

In the original novel, although Xia Jingui was quite famous and Zhang Yunyi had seen her enchanting figure, he had never seen her face.

Although he could choose not to look at her face, it would still be a bit disappointing.

At this moment, the look towards Xia Jingui was inevitably more scrutinizing.

Zhang Yunyi had a certain understanding of Xia Jingui's figure, so he just glanced at her casually, focusing more on Xia Jingui's face.

Although Xia Jingui's face is not as bright as Wang Xifeng's, she has a unique kind of cold charm.

She had a charming figure, distinct facial features and raised eyebrows. Although she was different from Wang Xifeng's domineering personality, she also had a cold air.

But at this moment, she looked sad and resentful, panic-stricken and at a loss, which further enhanced the charming spring feeling between her eyebrows.

In fact, it was because of me that Xia Jingui became the second wife of Rongguo Mansion. I didn't expect that my unintentional act would make the two second wives resonate with each other.

Zhang Yunyi was examining his prey, and Xia Jingui couldn't help but steal a glance at him.

She was already feeling guilty, and when she saw Zhang Yunyi in a python robe, looking intimidating without even getting angry, she became even more suspicious that he was here to call her to task.

My already anxious heart became even more uneasy.

Zhang Yunyi saw this and couldn't suppress the smile on his face. He looked playful and amused like a cat catching a mouse, and his eyes became more and more unscrupulous.

However, this expression had a different meaning to Xia Jingui and her servant.

Baochan didn't misunderstand what she meant. Without waiting for Xia Jingui to speak, she couldn't help but bowed deeply and said, "This servant greets the Duke!"

Xia Jingui realized it belatedly and said evasively: "Duke... Duke!~"

Zhang Yunyi joked, "Second Madam Bao, you have a lot to say. Why, when you meet the Duke of this country, you can't even speak properly?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Sheyue, Qiu Wen and Xiren in the room were all startled and looked at Xia Jingui in unison.

But Xia Jingui began to tremble like a sieve.

"Eh!" Just at this moment, a voice of surprise suddenly came.

Then Jia Baoyu walked in and said, "Yi...Brother Yi is here!"

He was used to calling him "Master", so calling him "Brother Yi" seemed a little uncomfortable.

"Master Bao is here!" Musk Moon and Qiu Wen felt relieved immediately.

Jia Baoyu ignored them. He had never seen Xia Jingui before. While talking, he looked at her. He was quite satisfied with her filial piety, but complained: "What are you doing standing here? Why don't you go inside to talk?"

Xia Jingui thought that family disgrace should not be made public, and Sheyue and Qiu Wen on the side had the same thought and looked at each other in confusion.

Xiren understood what he meant when he heard it, and hurried forward, pulling Xia Jingui, who was having difficulty walking, and leading the way.

After bringing the distraught Xia Jingui into the house, Fang looked at Zhang Yunyi who was walking into the house, and said eagerly: "How about I stay in the house and serve you?"

"Do what you have to do!"

"Hoo!~Hoo!~" Xiren agreed, lowered her head and walked out of the house.

There was something else Zhang Yunyi said just now. It was not just to tease Xia Jingui, but also to cooperate with Lady Wang and Xiren to test Sheyue and Qiu Wen.

If Jia Baoyu had tacitly agreed but the secret had still been leaked, then he would have no choice but to be dismissed in advance.

As soon as Xiren left, Zhang Yunyi raised his hand and stopped Jia Baoyu who was about to speak.

She said in a pretentious tone, "Didn't you vow to keep your virginity for the Duke of this country? Why are you embarrassed to speak up in front of Baoyu?"

Jia Baoyu was stunned when he heard this. He had never thought that there would be such a thing, and his cheeks were filled with joy.

But Xia Jingui's body trembled suddenly, and she fell to her knees with a plop.

"I...know my mistake..."

Zhang Yunyi suddenly squatted down, grabbed Xia Jingui's chin, and said with a smile: "What did you do wrong?"

"This..." Xia Jingui's black and white eyes moved back and forth between Zhang Yunyi and Jia Baoyu.

Just when he was at a loss, he saw Zhang Yunyi waving at Jia Baoyu and saying, "Go out! Remember to close the door!"

In fact, for Zhang Yun逸, it made no difference whether Jia Baoyu came or not. He didn't expect him to do anything at all. He just treated him as a background board.

Xia Jingui's head buzzed and she looked at Jia Baoyu in surprise and doubt.

He just nodded and bowed, then walked out of the door dejectedly. Before closing the door, he did not forget to look inside the house with a flattering look on his face.

When the door closed with a creaking sound, Zhang Yunyi hooked his hand under her chin, and then slid it down her neck and said, "Why should we be so secretive when doing things, my Lord? Today I have given you a clear path!"

Although he has not yet explored Xia Jingui's depth, it does not stop him from leaving Xia Jingui with an unfathomable image in order to shock her.

To prevent her from taking advantage of her achievements and making trouble by thinking that the baby in Lady Wang’s belly needs her cooperation in covering up.

Xia Jingui was already overwhelmed by the aura of the duke of his country, and after going through all these ups and downs, she was already confused.

Not only does she look somewhat like Wang Xifeng, but even her personality is exactly the same as Mu Qiang.

She did not dare to feel any resentment towards Zhang Yunyi's behavior. Instead, she felt even more excited and amorous.

Feeling the back of Zhang Yunyi's hand sliding down her neck, she not only did not dodge, but unconsciously straightened her back and moved closer to Zhang Yunyi.

Zhang Yun逸 laughed, stood up suddenly, and hugged Xia Jingui's head.

He added with a pun: "The golden osmanthus of your Xia family does smell very alluring, but I don't know... whether it is worth chewing!"
