The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 757: Figured it out?

Narcissus Temple, Miaoyu's boudoir.

"Don't! Don't come in!"

Miaoyu looked towards the door with horror, and saw Lechen holding a dead rat.

Lechen deliberately shook the dead rat in his hand, and said earnestly: "Master, I think you should just give in and ask the Duke for help. If this continues, no one will dare to stay here. I'm afraid there will be no peace forever."

Since the beginning of the New Year, Narcissus Temple has been plagued by troubles.

At first, only some dead rats, dead cats, dead dogs and the like appeared in the kitchen and the hall.

Recently, some ruffians have started to come and harass us.

The instigator was naturally Jia Rong, who was eager to make amends and show his loyalty to Zhang Yun逸.

The nuns in Narcissus Temple could not withstand such intimidation.

And anyone with a discerning eye can see that someone is deliberately targeting us.

Where is becoming a monk not considered becoming a monk?
What's more, Narcissus Temple has always been a high-end temple. After losing the sisters of Princess Beijing, there is not much profit to be made. The timid ones would have seen the danger and left with their bags.

However, compared to the ruffians who came to her house, these dead cats and dead mice were the most unbearable for Miaoyu.

Before Jia Rong really started to increase the pressure, Miaoyu had already begun to feel the pressure too much.

Recently, she has poured out the rice in the rice jar three or four times. But even so, every time she eats, she still feels nauseous and has difficulty swallowing. She only picks some vegetables to fill her stomach, and she has lost a lot of weight.

Miaoyu was afraid that Lechen would bring the dead mouse into the house, but when she turned her eyes to the shaking dead mouse, she immediately collapsed, her face turned pale and blue, and after a long pause, she asked, "What did the government say?"

"The government? Nothing valuable was lost, and no one was in trouble. A few scoundrels lost a few dead rats. Do we really want the government to send people to keep watch for us?"

Lechen paused, then changed the subject and said, "If the Duke is willing to say something, then it's not impossible!"

Miaoyu pursed her lips and said, "I...didn't I ask you to take the silver and bribe them?"

"Silver? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that someone is secretly plotting against us. Why wouldn't they bribe people? Not to mention who the other party is, are the officials willing to take the silver and not do the job, or are they willing to take our silver and then go hungry?"

Lechen asked several rhetorical questions in rapid succession, and when Miaoyu lowered her head, he complained, "Nowadays, things are different from before. We have the princess to support us, but you don't even think about how many people you have offended openly or secretly by relying on the princess's support.

If the host hadn't been so stubborn and refused to let the Duke in last time, who would dare to come here to cause trouble? Now that the Duke has been irritated, even Aunt Xing hasn't come for a long time. "

It’s not that Xing Xiuyan didn’t want to come and visit, but she knew about the assassination attempt during last year’s spring ploughing ceremony.

Zhang Yun逸 was also worried that someone would resort to despicable means to threaten his wife and children, so, except for a trip to the hot springs before the New Year, he tried to reduce the travel of female family members, especially out of the city.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Yun逸 tacitly allowed Madam Mei and Jiao Xing to live in two mansions.

But Miaoyu didn't know all this and thought it was exactly as Liaochen said.

To say that I have no regrets is to deceive myself.

Although he was forced into it at the beginning, didn't he also intend to seek Zhang Yunyi's protection?
It has been almost a year now. If no one had come to bother her, she would have been happy with the peace and quiet. But now, faced with sudden trouble, she regrets it deeply.

However, despite saying this, she, who has always been proud and arrogant, could not save face.

In addition, ever since Zhang Yunyi was rejected last time, he has ignored her, so Miaoyu is really unsure.

In fact, Liaochen had no idea what was going on.

If this had happened half a year earlier, she would have reported the situation long ago, but now, she couldn't help feeling worried.

However, she was present that day after all, and Zhang Yunyi at least acknowledged Miaoyu's identity.

She thought that even if Zhang Yunyi was not pleased, given his status, he would not sit idly by even if it was just for his own face. However, although she was determined, she was worried that Miaoyu would get angry again and make things worse.

Therefore, he would bring the bodies of dead mice and dead cats to Miaoyu from time to time, and force her to submit.

Liaochen had been in Narcissus Temple for many years and knew Miaoyu's character very well. Seeing that she remained silent, he gave her a way out and said, "How can a couple hold grudges overnight? They always fight at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed. If you can't save your face, I can go and find out what the Duke has to say for you."

At this point, Liaochen changed the subject and said, "However, Auntie, you must seize this opportunity. Now everyone in the nunnery is leaving. Don't wait for me to invite the Duke to come. If you refuse, I will be unable to help you if you anger the Duke!"

"I...I..." Miaoyu was too embarrassed to speak and just nodded silently.

Lechen continued to persuade her patiently, "You never know when the Duke will come. You should bathe and change clothes in advance to get ready, so as not to be in a hurry and make the Duke wait impatiently."

After saying this, she turned around and left without waiting for Miaoyu's response.

Under the current circumstances, staying one more day means more risk.

Lechen volunteered, not entirely for Miaoyu, she also hoped to use this opportunity to explore Zhang Yunyi's attitude.

Don't let yourself not get any benefit but be implicated by Miaoyu instead.

The phrase "I can't help" was as tactful as possible. If things were not going well, she would have to get away as soon as possible. There was no need to stay with Miaoyu any longer.

By the time they entered the city and arrived at Duke Wei's mansion, it was already noon and Zhang Yun逸 had already gone to the government office.

However, when Xing Xiuyun heard that someone was coming from Narcissus Temple, she thought that the gatekeeper had passed on the wrong message and mistakenly believed that Miaoyu had sent someone to find her, so she quickly called the person over for questioning.

But Le Chen just thought that Xing Xiuyan knew it well and mistakenly attributed her not going to this.

Instead, he recommended Miaoyu himself and told everything.

When Xing Xiuyan heard this, her mind suddenly turned into a thousand twists and turns.

Her master even brought Princess Beijing into the mansion, but left Miaoyu outside. She secretly wondered if Zhang Yunyi was too embarrassed to speak up because of his relationship with Miaoyu.

Thinking of how Miaoyu had been living in fear outside during this period of time, Xing Xiuyun couldn't help feeling guilty.

Unable to wait for Zhang Yunyi to return home, he immediately asked someone to take Chen to the government office to report the news, and repeatedly instructed them to bring Miaoyu home.

Zhang Yun逸 had no idea that Jia Rong was eager to make amends. He just thought that someone was trying to shit on his head, so he immediately frowned. On the one hand, he sent people to the Shuntian government office to inquire about the instigator, and on the other hand, he took a group of personal guards and went straight to the Narcissus Temple.

Seeing Zhang Yunyi's attitude, Liaochen finally felt relieved and carefully led Zhang Yunyi to the yard where Miaoyu was.

As soon as she entered the yard, she shouted inside: "The Duke is here to see Auntie, why don't you come out to greet him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door suddenly opened.

Miaoyu was seen leaning against the door with a pair of eyes flashing like autumn water, wanting to speak but feeling shy.

Zhang Yunyi slowed down his pace unconsciously, waved at Lechen, and slowly came to the door. He sniffed the unique fragrance after bathing, and said with a double meaning: "Have you figured it out?"

How could Miaoyu understand the meaning behind his words?
He nodded silently.

Zhang Yunyi then slammed the door shut, put his arm around her slender waist, and strode straight to the bed.

After he sat down on the edge of the bed, he grabbed Miaoyu's soft hand, which had nowhere to put, and pulled her down suddenly, making her kneel in front of him.

While lifting up his robe, he slowly pressed down Miaoyu's head, saying, "Since you want to 'see through', I will spare you the trouble this time and see through everything inside and outside of you."
