The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 97 Xifeng wants to make peace

It’s not that we can blame Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang. They believe that outsiders don’t trust their own family members. If Jia Lian was at home, they wouldn’t have made such arrangements.

Firstly, Jia She was not doing his job properly and did not know how to restrain himself, which led to his notoriety.

Secondly, they were also deceived by Zhang Yunyi's disguise and had a preconceived notion that he even gave all the income from the sugar produced from his one acre and three mu of land to the Ning Mansion. How could Jia She be compared to such a person who regarded money as dirt?
Wang Xifeng scoffed at the arrangement made by Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang.

Others may not know, but she knows very well that Zhang Yunyi is not a good person.

However, if she had to choose between Jia She and him, she would still choose to cooperate with Zhang Yun逸.

After all, Jia She was greedy for money, while Zhang Yun逸 was just lustful.

Moreover, as a daughter-in-law, she was naturally inferior to Jia She and had no way to bargain with him.

In addition, Zhang Yunyi had threatened before that he would set the price for Ping'er himself, so isn't the opportunity right in front of him now?
But when she thought about it this way, she felt that she had suffered a great loss.

She couldn't accept the fact that Zhang Yunyi didn't pay a penny and used the money from the Rong Mansion's treasury to exchange for his own maid, not to mention that he also molested her.

While she was thinking about how to turn the situation around, Lady Jia had already ordered them to leave.

"You all should go back as well! Madam will invite Brother Yi to come over tonight and ask him how much land he wants to allocate. Then we can choose a place as soon as possible and start preparing!"

Wang Xifeng hurriedly volunteered, "Let Ping'er go and invite them! I also have something to bring to Rong's wife."

Without thinking, Grandmother Jia said, "Well! You will have to deal with this matter in the future, so let Ping'er go and ask her!"

Mrs. Wang had no objection to this. It was obviously impossible for Jia Zheng to ask her to send someone to urge them, and it was actually Jia Mu's arrangement that was more appropriate.

After all, he needed a favor from someone, and it would seem disrespectful to ask an ordinary maid to make the trip. Ping'er's status was just right.

After leaving Lady Jia's courtyard, Wang Xifeng did not rush back, but accompanied Mrs. Wang back to Rong Xi Tang.

Fang asked indirectly, "Madam, I just thought about it. Should I talk to the old lady and wait for two more days? The emperor just summoned the master yesterday. Even if he immediately ordered Brother Yi to draw a map, I'm afraid there might not be any results now, right?"

When Lai Da and his wife came back, Grandmother Jia summoned Jia Zhen. She originally thought that they were going to discuss matters related to the industrial chain. Although it is now clear that it is not in line with expectations, it is not entirely groundless.

Thinking back now, the day before yesterday, Zhang Yun逸 came out of the palace and had a secret conversation with Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang in the side hall. Combined with the attitudes they showed afterwards and the emperor's summons yesterday, she suspected that Zhang Yun逸 was also involved and even made a considerable contribution.

If this is true, then it can explain why he is so confident.

The last time she suffered from unclear information, she, Wang Xifeng, must not fall in the same place twice.

Mrs. Wang did not doubt it. She hesitated for a moment and said, "He knew it earlier than we did. Besides, we only called him over to ask what preparations should be made, not to rush him."

Although she had previously advised Jia Zheng not to push too hard, now she was not simply asking for the drawings. Besides, the old lady came forward and gave him enough face, so she had no such concerns.

As for Zhang Yun逸's admonition to keep it confidential, that was before there was any definite news. Now that the oral order has been given, there is no need to hide it anymore.

"Earlier than Madam knew it?" Wang Xifeng suddenly realized, "Could it be that when he came back from the palace that day..."

"Yes! This time it's all thanks to him. If he agrees to help, remember not to be arrogant in front of him. If you are unsure, remember to come to me."

She knew that Wang Xifeng was used to being bossy and was worried that she would not be able to distinguish the important from the unimportant.

After hearing this, Wang Xifeng's heart trembled, and then she said respectfully: "Don't worry, madam, your niece knows the importance of this." Having said this, she didn't agree in her heart. If she really listened to Zhang Yunyi in everything, wouldn't she be eaten up skin and bones?

Mrs. Wang was like a blessing after a long drought. Although there were some incidents in the morning, she was in a good mood. She gave her a few more instructions before sending her away.

When they returned to the three-room porch, Ping'er was already delighted and couldn't wait to ask, "Grandma asked me to go and invite the master, but is there anything you want to bring over?"

Before, Wang Xifeng only tacitly agreed for her to go and mediate, but this time she took the initiative to propose it.

Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows and said, "Look how happy you little slut are. Could it be that you are craving for men again after tasting the sweetness of it?"

She also pointed at Zhang Yunyi to cooperate and did not add the word "wild" in front of the man.

"Look at what grandma said. I am here to invite someone. The old lady and the mistress are waiting. How can I delay? Besides, I am your servant. Without your permission..."

"It's good that you know! Go and tell him not to cause me any more trouble. I'll let bygones be bygones."

She got up where she fell. Although Mrs. Wang had said so before, she did not dare to think of revenge, but she was unwilling to be taken advantage of for nothing.

The loss I suffered cannot be recovered. I can't just follow suit and do the same to Zhang Yun逸. Wouldn't that only make me sink deeper and deeper into trouble and let him take advantage of me?

Therefore, I can only make up for it with money.

Ping'er didn't know what happened between the two of them at the rockery, so she hurriedly advised, "Master just didn't agree to marry Miss Bao, but how come Grandma is saying that Master is to blame? Did Master offend Grandma with his words?"

"Pooh!" Wang Xifeng blushed and spat, "Who told him to bump into you!"

"Grandma should be relieved now. The old lady and the madam are relying on you and they won't take your power away. Why should they get angry with you over such a small matter?"

"Who is angry with him? This is bound to happen sooner or later, so we have to make plans in advance."

Although she didn't say what she was going to do, Ping'er understood and took the opportunity to say, "I will persuade you to help. Madam, you can take this opportunity to ease the relationship with me. But don't lie to me again this time."

Nothing can happen again, and Ping'er was worried that something strange might happen again.

"I think it's you, a little slut, who wants to take this opportunity to get through?" Wang Xifeng said coldly, "I didn't agree to let you through this time. Remember my instructions. If you misspoke, I won't take responsibility!"

These words were indeed meant to deceive, but after hearing what Ping'er said, thinking of Zhang Yunyi's fearless attitude, she felt somewhat guilty, worried that she would anger him and really go to Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang to ask for the person back.

However, compared to before, there is no internal worry of power being seized, and the only external threat is Zhang Yun逸, so the situation is much more relaxed.

She secretly calculated in her heart that Zhang Yunyi had helped the mansion so much. If he was willing to speak to Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang, her opposition would certainly be ineffective.

Considering his anxious look when the two met at the rockery, the reason he did this was simply because he coveted me and didn't want to break up with me.

Thinking of this, he felt somewhat pleased with himself and blurted out, "He has some vision!"

"What did grandma say?"

Wang Xifeng blushed slightly and hurriedly covered up, saying, "He fell in love with you, a little slut, at first sight. He has good taste!"
