The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 721 The plan cannot keep up with the changes

"Old lady, Madam, Second Master..."

Xiren stepped into the room and saw Jia Baoyu kneeling on the ground with a gloomy face, and Jia's mother sitting next to Mrs. Wang with a sullen face. She was stunned and her heart skipped a beat.

On the way back to the city, as she was jolted in the carriage by Zhang Yunyi, Zhang Yunyi also pinched her neck and lectured her.

She was told to come to Lady Wang first, prepare her words, and then go to report to Lady Jia.

Since Jia Baoyu already knew the truth, Zhang Yun逸 did not consider him and asked Xiren to just say that she came back to report the good news on Jia Baoyu's orders, and asked Mrs. Wang to move to the hot spring villa under the pretext of taking care of him.

But at this moment, not only was Jia Baoyu present, he was also kneeling on the ground to be punished, and Jia's mother had a cold face. Xiren couldn't help but doubt the reason why Jia Baoyu was punished.

Not only did he not dare to use the words he had prepared in advance, he even did not dare to mention that Xia Jingui was pregnant.

Mrs. Wang guessed what was going on just by looking at Xiren's expression, and was frozen there for a moment.

But when Jia Baoyu saw Xiren, he suddenly remembered that Mrs. Wang was pregnant and he still needed to keep it a secret, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

He threw himself into Mrs. Wang's arms, crying and shouting, "Madam, you must help our son! At this juncture, as long as you are willing to help the master, he will definitely not ignore it..."

"Evil creature! Don't stop talking!"

Mrs. Wang was afraid that Jia Baoyu would speak without restraint, so she hesitated. However, Grandmother Jia was furious and said, "You are actually ruining the relationship between Madam and your master for an outsider. You are going to piss me off to death!"

"How can the prince be an outsider?"

Seeing Mrs. Wang was short of breath, Jia Baoyu could not help but feel more confident and said confidently, "The prince treated me like a brother and gave me a wagtail incense necklace to show his true feelings. Now he is in prison. For me, saving the prince is just a piece of cake. How can I bear to abandon him?"

After hearing Jia Baoyu mention Prince Beijing, Xiren couldn't help but smell something and moved subconsciously.

Unexpectedly, this action attracted the attention of Grandmother Jia.

Just now, Grandmother Jia was so angry that she was only concerned with scolding Jia Baoyu and forgot that Xiren had arrived.

She secretly thanked her luck that the master and the mistress were quite cryptic in their words and Xiren might not have heard anything. How could she dare to let her listen any further?

He quickly put on a stern face, waved his hand at Xiren and said, "I have something to say to Madam and Baoyu, you go out and wait first!"

Xiren originally wanted to tell Jia Baoyu what she had heard in the morning, but seeing that Lady Jia looked unhappy, she did not dare to refute and quickly retreated.

She had just left Rongxi Hall when she ran into Zhang Yunyi, who had come running over. She quickly stepped forward and saluted, "Sir!"

And whispered: "The old lady and Master Bao are also in there."

Originally, Zhang Yun逸 brought Xiren back and had no intention of coming here.

But when she returned home, she heard that Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang came to invite her, and also that Jia Baoyu had just come to see her, and had given the undershirt with the plum blossom mark yesterday to Xing Xiuyun to keep, so she rushed over without stopping.

He nodded at Xiren and winked at her, signaling her to follow him, before stepping into Rong Xi Tang.

When Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang in the room heard the noise outside, they stood up quickly.

Jia Baoyu knelt and moved to another direction, looking at the door eagerly. When he saw Zhang Yunyi enter the room, he knelt down and hugged his legs without waiting for him to greet Jia's mother.

He begged, "Not only has the prince reconciled with his son long ago, but he is also as close as a brother. Please have mercy on me and let Prince Beijing go!"

When Xiren, who was standing by, heard the title, she was stunned. She knew who Jia Baoyu was calling "Master".
In the morning, Zhang Yunyi swore solemnly, but Lady Jia knew about his relationship with Mrs. Wang, so she was still skeptical.

At this moment, seeing Jia Baoyu actually calling "Master" in front of Jia's grandmother, she believed it without a doubt.

From Zhang Yun逸’s instructions, it is not difficult to see that Mrs. Wang did not intend to hide it from her.

But Grandmother Jia deliberately tried to get her out of the way, and she couldn't help looking at her with some uneasiness.

How could Lady Jia care about her at this moment?
He immediately stepped forward and slapped Jia Baoyu on the head.

He turned to look at Zhang Yunyi with a smile on his face, and said in a low voice: "Of course, the master has the final say on matters outside. The child is outspoken and has no sense of propriety when speaking, so please don't take it seriously, master!"

Grandmother Jia was already worried that Zhang Yunyi was so powerful that he would be rude to her family.

After hearing that Prince Ning and Niu Jizong were convicted, he only thought about atoning for his own grandson, so how could he care about whether he lost face or not?
He even wanted to confirm his identity as Jia Baoyu's adopted son so that Zhang Yunyi would consider their old friendship.

In the Rongguo Mansion, since Grandmother Jia was still around, the title of "Master" was only used by Jia She, Jia Zheng, and Jia Daishan, who mostly called them "Grandpa". Grandmother Jia also called Jia She and Jia Zheng "Big Master" and "Second Master".

However, considering Zhang Yun逸’s actual situation, it is appropriate to include him as the master.

Zhang Yunyi was somewhat caught off guard by Lady Jia's attitude.

However, after listening to Jia Baoyu's plea, he felt somewhat understood.

He pressed Jia Baoyu's head without commenting, and pushed it away, waiting for Jia Baoyu to let go.

Fang walked straight to Madam Wang and pulled her to sit on the Luohan bed. He held Madam Wang in his arms as if no one was around and said indifferently, "What? You all know what happened outside?"

Although it is unclear what Lady Jia's true mentality is, some clues can be gathered from the way she addresses him. She had just tried out her trick on Xia Jingui in the morning, and had served as a warning to others. Now she was using it again with greater ease.

Anyway, everyone present knew about his relationship with Lady Wang. Since Lady Jia addressed him as Master, why should he hide it?
However, he did not know how much Grandmother Jia knew, so he only referred to external matters in general.

But Grandmother Jia's words changed her tone. She hurriedly hunched over and came to Luohan's bedside, bowed her head and whispered: "So, the story between Prince Ning and Niu Jizong is true?"

After hearing this, Zhang Yunyi understood more and more why Lady Jia was so silent.

He nodded and smiled, "It's because of this that I haven't had time to come these days. I was afraid that you would worry, so I blocked the news. I didn't expect..."

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Upon hearing this, Jia's mother's face suddenly changed drastically, and she hurriedly said on behalf of Jia Baoyu: "Bao... Baoyu is just afraid that we will worry..."

Zhang Yunyi didn't wait for her to finish, raised his hand and interrupted, "We are all family, why does the old lady need to explain all this."

As he said this, he waved to Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu hurriedly rolled and crawled over.

Zhang Yunyi put on his master's attitude, patted him on the head, and said calmly: "I know roughly what happened between you and Shui Rong, and I have also read some of the letters you exchanged. Since you two have similar interests, I will naturally not deal with him anymore. I also told him yesterday to thank you very much for pleading for him!"

"This..." Jia Baoyu didn't expect Zhang Yunyi to be so considerate, and he burst into tears of joy, "Master! Your son... Your son has no way to repay you..."

When Lady Jia heard this, she felt very relieved.

“Alright!” Zhang Yunyi pushed away the tearful Jia Baoyu with disdain, “Shui Rong is quite sensible. He told the master that when he is released, he will take you and Qi Guan to live in the palace…”

At this point, he paused and said, "Also, because I am grateful to you for letting bygones be bygones, I plan to have the princess move to the Jade Emperor Temple in the Grand View Garden to chant sutras and pray for you, my master."

"Really?" Jia Baoyu almost burst into laughter.

He was of course not there because Princess Beijing came to the palace to pray for blessings, so he said in disbelief, "The prince really wants us to stay in the palace?"

Zhang Yunyi nodded, then turned to Lady Jia and said, "The princess will move in soon, and the old lady will also make some preparations."

Prince Beijing's gratitude is fake, and his flattery is probably real.

But the more this happened, the less Grandmother Jia dared to question it, and she kept saying, "Hey! Hey!"

Zhang Yunyi explained the matter of Princess Beijing in a casual manner, then turned back to look at Jia Baoyu, and changed the subject, asking, "I remember all your matters, but how come you forgot about the matter between me and my wife?"

"Uh……"

Not only did Jia Baoyu forget about it, he even planned to use it as a bargaining chip. Faced with Zhang Yunyi's questioning, he was suddenly at a loss for words and speechless.

Zhang Yunyi was too lazy to pursue him relentlessly, so he touched Madam Wang's belly and said, "Madam is three months pregnant. I plan to take her to the hot spring villa to give birth and lie that Xia is pregnant, so that when the child is born, it will be difficult to explain the relationship. Everything has been arranged there, and here the old lady will have to help cover it up and spread some rumors to avoid being exposed."

Plans cannot keep up with changes. Since Lady Jia has been frightened, why should we hide the baby in Lady Wang's belly?

Instead, she told Lady Jia that with her help in visiting her during childbirth, it would be easier to cover up.

"Hey! Hey!" Grandmother Jia responded quickly, not daring to ask even a single question about the arrangements at the hot spring villa.

Zhang Yunyi nodded to Madam Wang and Xiren with satisfaction and said, "I still have some things to do, so I won't accompany you. Go and get ready, and go to the hot spring villa now!"
