The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 735 Bluffing
"Don't make a sound, it's me."

"Yun... Yun Yi? Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming?"

Mrs. Xue asked questions but couldn't wait to get close to him.

Since I was at Aunt Xue's place, I didn't stay there for long.

Seeing that there was still more than an hour before the agreed time, he naturally couldn't just sit there and wait.

The emperor's medicine made his condition worse, but Zhang Yun逸's boxing became more and more energetic as he practiced it.

Although there will be another fierce battle later, I don’t mind having an extra game.

Not long after Aunt Xue entered the east wing, he went into the west wing where Mrs. Xue II was.

Now there is Fu Qiufang in the backyard of the Xue family. Whenever Zhang Yunyi comes over, the two wives of the Xue family act like thieves.

Zhang Yunyi knew that Fu Qiufang was having a heart-to-heart talk with Aunt Xue at that moment, and was worried that the noise would be too loud and would alert Fu Qiufang, who was not asleep yet.

Mrs. Xue thought that Zhang Yunyi had deliberately left Aunt Xue behind and went to her bed alone. She became more and more worried about making noise, so she tried her best to hold it in, only making occasional "grunting" sounds.

……

Let’s talk about Aunt Xue later.

He left his room, went straight to the east wing and knocked on Fu Qiufang's door.

"Dong dong!"

Seeing Aunt Xue standing at the door, Fu Qiufang asked in confusion, "Mother-in-law, why are you here?"

"I can't sleep alone. It's already this late. Yun Yi probably won't come today. I came to talk to you."

Although she was only the mother-in-law in name, Aunt Xue was exempted from the morning and evening visits.

If you really want to find fault, it would be to urge her to stick closer to Zhang Yunyi from time to time. For Fu Qiufang, this is not a bad thing at all. Instead, it gives her an extra step up. She is very satisfied with this comfortable life now.

Hearing that Aunt Xue couldn't sleep and wanted to talk with him, and that what Aunt Xue said made sense, and it was almost three o'clock in the morning, and Zhang Yunyi hadn't informed her in advance, she most likely wouldn't come, so he couldn't refuse.

"Then come in, Grandma!"

After letting Aunt Xue into the room, Fu Qiufang was about to close the door, but was pulled to the edge of the bed by Aunt Xue.

"Leave the door open! I'm afraid of the heat, and a little breeze would be nice."

Aunt Xue was plump and afraid of heat, and Fu Qiufang knew something about it, so she didn't suspect anything.

After getting on the bed and leaning against the headboard, Aunt Xue said casually, "When Tad came back a while ago, everything went smoothly with your brother. The school is about to be completed. I heard from Baochai the other day that Yun Yi planned to hand the school over to him to manage. Now it has been settled. However, you have to hurry up on this end!"

With ulterior motives, Aunt Xue intentionally or unintentionally used Zhang Yun逸's support for Fu Shi as an example.

Fu Qiufang didn't think too much about it.

At first, she was a little surprised that Aunt Xue wanted to talk to her in the middle of the night. When she heard the same old talk, she hurriedly said, "There's no rush. Sister Baochai also..."

"You can't be impatient. Now, Qin, Xiangling and the You sisters are all about to give birth. Once the children are born, the chances of having them will be even smaller. You have to hurry up!"

Fu Qiufang then realized something. No wonder he came here in such a hurry. It turned out to be for this reason. She no longer suspected anything.

She even said gratefully, "Thank you for your advice, mother-in-law. I...I understand."

"I told Baoyatou about that earlier. Let's focus on your side first..."

He also hoped that Fu Qiufang would help cover it up, and Aunt Xue was not stingy with her kind words.

Fu Qiufang took it seriously, and couldn't help but feel more favorable towards Aunt Xue, her mother-in-law.

The two chatted one after another.

Before they knew it, it was already past three o'clock in the morning. Seeing that it was getting late, Aunt Xue yawned and said, "I'm sleepy too. I won't go back, or I'll lose my sleepiness again if I walk around."

Fu Qiufang had no objection and stopped the conversation immediately.

The ancients did not have much of a nightlife, and Fu Qiufang was even more of a recluse. Even if Zhang Yun逸 came, he would do it openly and would not drag on until late at night, let alone until the fourth watch.

Not long after lying down, he fell asleep.

I was in a daze and didn't know how long I had slept, when I suddenly felt as if the earth was shaking beside me.

In a trance, I felt my body lighten, and then a pair of familiar big hands were moving around my body.

Fu Qiufang thought she was dreaming and murmured something before she suddenly remembered that Aunt Xue was still by her side.

She hurriedly grabbed the corner of the quilt and tucked it towards her side. Just as she was about to turn over and hold the quilt, a pair of large hands pressed on her shoulders and she could not move.

"It's me! I forgot to call you in advance today, so I came a little late. I didn't expect Baochai to be here too."

Although Fu Qiufang is also quite attractive, there is still a big gap compared to Aunt Xue.

On the contrary, Xue Baochai, who often keeps Fu Qiufang company and is of the same bloodline as Aunt Xue, can be used as a cover.

Hearing Zhang Yunyi's familiar voice and the mention of Baochai, how could Fu Qiufang not know what was going on nearby?
She felt her mind go blank and subconsciously wanted to scream.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yunyi got there first and blocked the sound tube. Then, he felt his body sink, and Zhang Yunyi had already turned the gun around.

As a result, Fu Qiufang calmed down.

After all, although she knew that the person next to her was not Baochai, Aunt Xue was also aware of it.

She didn't dare to doubt that this was a conspiracy between Zhang Yun逸 and Aunt Xue.

However, he couldn't help but secretly blame Aunt Xue for not raising any warning.

However, on second thought, wasn't it me who woke up at this time as well?
If Zhang Yun逸 mistook Aunt Xue for Baochai, by the time Aunt Xue was awakened, it would be too late.

I can only make the best of it and continue pretending to be Baochai.

However, even though I figured out the connection, after all, I was in my own room, and it was my mother-in-law...

Fu Qiufang's mind was in a mess.

Although it was not her fault, once it was exposed, Aunt Xue would be too embarrassed to face anyone.

When she thought of how kind Aunt Xue was to her, she felt a little bit sorry.

The only thing to do now is to make the best of it and hope that Aunt Xue will sneak away while Zhang Yun逸 falls asleep.

Afterwards, they discussed privately how to cover up the past.

Thinking of this, she quietly touched Aunt Xue's hand and gently squeezed it, implying that she would cooperate with her in keeping it secret.

However, things did not go as planned, even though she tried her best to cooperate.

But Aunt Xue was a fake who was exposed as soon as she opened her mouth.

When Zhang Yun逸 got off Fu Qiufang, he hugged the two of them and chatted, but it was only Fu Qiufang who answered.

Finally, she began to wonder, "Baochai, why aren't you talking? Are you feeling unwell?"

Fu Qiufang couldn't find a suitable excuse to cover up for a while.

Just when I was at a loss, I saw Zhang Yunyi suddenly stand up, jump off the bed, grope in the dark, and light the lamp.

Fu Qiufang was in a dilemma whether to stop it or not.

He only had time to feel compassion and exchange a look with Aunt Xue who was standing trembling with fear beside him.

"why you?"

Zhang Yunyi turned around and exclaimed, then he started to complain: "You... why didn't you remind me!"

Although Zhang Yun逸 was suspected of being the first to complain, Fu Qiufang still had no words to respond.

After all, he could still shirk the blame and say that he had recognized the wrong person, and Aunt Xue could also claim that she had made a big mistake and was too embarrassed to speak up.

But she did not have the above excuses. She pretended to be ignorant and kept her mouth shut from beginning to end.

"I……"

"Don't blame my wife. It's because I slept too deeply and woke up late. I woke up late, let alone her?"

Aunt Xue, who was trembling with fear just now, now stood up and said, "She is also afraid that if the incident gets out of hand, I will lose face."

Before this, she was not simply acting. Although judging from Fu Qiufang's previous behavior, she should help cover it up, but when the time came, she was still a little worried.

At this moment, whether it was because he was the first to bear the brunt of the blame or in order to win Fu Qiufang's favor, it was natural for him to take the blame.

"Mother-in-law...I am also wrong."

Seeing this, Zhang Yunyi quickly took advantage of the situation and said, "If I am wrong, it's because I was prejudiced and mistook the lady for Baochai..."

At this point, he changed the subject: "It's just that now is not the time to blame each other, we should think about the future..."

Zhang Yun逸 spoke with great righteousness, as if he was not the one who filed the complaint first.

"In the future?" Fu Qiufang said hurriedly, "Don't worry, Master. I will never tell anyone."

"Ok!"

Zhang Yunyi nodded, got on the bed, and openly hugged Aunt Xue, praising her: "Madam, your skin is as fair as Baochai's. I didn't recognize you. As the saying goes, if you are here, you should make the best of it. Since you didn't say anything just now, you should just keep making the best of it in the future!

Fortunately, you two are not really mother-in-law and daughter-in-law..."

Fu Qiufang was shocked, but she saw that Aunt Xue was reluctant to accept and showed no signs of struggle. Instead, she looked at her with a guilty look on her face.

Fu Qiufang couldn't help but understand. Aunt Xue had been a widow for many years and she must have gotten used to it by now.

What Zhang Yunyi said was true. She and Aunt Xue were only nominal mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Since she could be on par with Baochai, as long as she could please Zhang Yunyi and come a few more times, why should she be the evil person who could please no one?
Besides, if it weren't for Aunt Xue's help, I might not be where I am today. Now, by chance, we have come together and it can be considered as a mutual help, so I can't bear to say anything more.
