The Red Mansion Big Liar

Yu had always been a bullied person, and she had never felt such thoughtful and kind words before, and she was actually moved for a moment.

"What a pity..." At this point, she remembered that Jia Zhen was still waiting for her. She tore Zhang Yunyi's claws away with difficulty and stood up, saying, "If we delay any longer, he might get suspicious. I will send Baozhu and Ruizhu here tomorrow."

This kind of torture has made her feel the sweetness of it, and Zhang Yunyi cares so much about her, which is something she has never felt before.

If Jia Zhen hadn't forced her, she would never have wanted to have anyone else in his house.

But in the end, the threat from Jia Zhen is greater, and he can't care about these personal affairs now.

"Baozhu, Ruizhu?"

Although Zhang Yunyi was puzzled as to how it was Youshi's turn to be in charge of Qin Keqing's maid, he had not even met the two of them yet, so it was not easy for him to raise any doubts.

"Yes! He is still waiting for my reply. You must help me."

Although Youshi deliberately avoided mentioning Jia Zhen's name, Zhang Yun逸 still understood it.

But why did Jia Zhen give Qin Keqing's maid to himself?

Although he had no intention of refusing, he was unwilling to accept it blindly. After all, he knew very well what kind of person Jia Zhen was.

? If someone offers you gifts for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.

The only thing that could make Jia Zhen covet him was the so-called method of the immortals. He had already speculated about the relationship between Jia Zhen and Qin Keqing, and couldn't help but wonder if the two of them had joined forces and sent the maid to spy on them.

He didn't have to worry about reporting to the emperor, but he was afraid of accidentally letting it slip and revealing the follow-up plan.

A single move will affect the entire body, which will not only damage one's own credibility, but also affect subsequent plans.

So he pretended not to know and asked tentatively, "Are these two my sister-in-law's trusted confidants?"

At this moment, he didn't even dare to fully believe Youshi and planned to ask her some questions first.

Although Jia Zhen might not be willing to make such a big sacrifice, he could not catch the wolf without sacrificing his wife. He was able to enjoy Youshi, and Jia Zhen, the victim, made a great contribution. Who knows if it was a serial trap?

Youshi didn't expect that in the presence of such a beautiful woman, his first concern was whether it would hinder their secret meeting. She felt mixed emotions.

I want to tell everything, but I'm worried about causing unnecessary trouble.

Although Zhang Yun逸 claimed that he was not afraid of Jia Zhen, Jia Jing and the others were secretly planning to get married.

Although Zhang Yun逸 was also a lustful man, stealing other people's girls was one thing, but he might not be able to accept the uncleanness of his own wife's family.

If it affects Jia Jing's plan to marry off his daughter, and he gets angry, Zhang Yunyi, as a junior, may not be able to protect himself.

If she tried to fool him, she was also worried that Zhang Yunyi would be caught off guard and expose his affair in front of Baozhu and Ruizhu, so she could only shirk the responsibility and said, "There is a long way to go. Even if you have someone in your room, I will always find an opportunity in the future."

"How can that be possible?" Zhang Yunyi grabbed Youshi's hand, rubbing it in his hand while saying lovingly, "My feelings for my sister-in-law are evident to all. Let alone two maids, even fairies in the sky cannot stand in our way."

Yu Shi had never seen such thoughtfulness and tenderness before, which made her feel both comforted and moved.

But now was not the time to be moved, she could only beg: "Please help me this time, and let me pass this level first. At worst... at worst I will find more opportunities in the future to make it up to you."

There is no need to elaborate on how to make up for it, but Zhang Yun逸 also saw that Youshi seemed to be forced into a corner.

"What did Brother Zhen say? Sister-in-law, tell me in detail. There may be a way to have the best of both worlds."

"This..." Seeing that they were delayed for a long time, Youshi had no choice but to bite the bullet and evade the main point, "This is also the master's order. In our family, when the men grow up, we always add two more people to the house. They are probably worried that people outside will question whether the mansion treats you harshly."

If it was any other maid, Zhang Yunyi might have believed it, but he expressed doubt about the maid beside Qin Keqing.

However, when Youshi mentioned Jia Jing just now, he also thought of another possibility.

In the beginning, Jia Zhen used himself as an excuse to drive Jiao Da away, and he might use the same trick again.

He remembered that after Qin Keqing died, Ruizhu hit her head against a pillar and died.

Everyone has a desire to live, and perhaps there is a reason why they must die.

"That's simple. I'll accept the indenture first, but you can't let them in. It'll ruin our business. My sister-in-law will tell me that I have an imperial decree and cannot be distracted now."

Zhang Yunyi said with a warm look on his face: "Besides, sister-in-law has been here for quite some time, and she must have an excuse when she returns. I am under the emperor's order, and sister-in-law's earnest advice, so I can fool her. What do you think?"

This move of his can be said to kill three birds with one stone.

This can be used to test whether Youshi is willing to submit or is setting a trap for himself.

He could also hold the two maids' indentures in his hands for further observation.

The key point is that if Jia Zhen really used himself as an excuse to send the two maids away, he might not have succeeded.

If this is true, then these two maids would have a lot to gain by wandering between herself and Qin Keqing.

Of course, everything still needs to be observed in the follow-up. Although he doesn't mind prying someone else's girlfriend, he doesn't want to pry someone else's girlfriend who has already pried someone else's girlfriend.

People are just so contradictory sometimes.

How could Youshi know that after he had just benefited from her, he was already thinking about his own daughter-in-law.

Although it was still far from what Jia Zhen asked for, Zhang Yun逸 was so obsessed with it, wasn't it all for her?

"Then let's do it."

Zhang Yunyi was such a kind and loyal man, so she gave it her all. The worst that could happen was that she would be punished.

Thinking of this, she added: "If he sends someone else again, you must not let go!"

"Don't worry, sister-in-law!" Zhang Yunyi patted his chest and said, "I wish I could delay it for a little longer so that he can ask you to come more often. Anyway, I only recognize you in this mansion."

With these words, Youshi immediately felt more confident.

He secretly thought that he had not made a mistake. As long as Zhang Yun逸 only recognized him, Jia Zhen would not do anything extreme. So he nodded helplessly.

Feeling that Youshi was about to be convinced by him, Zhang Yunyi said, "Sister-in-law, tell her when you go back that I still need to make some preparations for the emperor's mission, and I will ask you for help tomorrow. This way, he will definitely not embarrass you."

Seeing how much he took care of herself, Youshi no longer had any doubts as she had provided herself with a double insurance policy.

Because Zhang Yunyi used the imperial order as an excuse, she was not worried about delaying too long and having to explain herself when she returned. She continued to talk to him for a while before reluctantly leaving.

Chapter 17: A Surprise

Strangely enough, when she went there, Youshi was nervous, afraid of being seen.

But after really getting over this hurdle, I realized that I had done everything I should and shouldn't have done, and I felt that there was nothing to be afraid of.

When she returned to her room, she saw Jia Zhen hugging Yin Die and sleeping soundly on her bed. The last trace of guilt she had felt disappeared.

She didn't dare to offend Jia Zhen, so she had to go forward and push Yindie awake.

"Why don't you get up quickly? When will it be your turn to sleep in my bed?"

The step-out bed is divided into a canopy bed and a porch in front of the bed.

Generally speaking, even the maid who served closely could only sleep in the corridor in front of the bed so that she could be looked after at night.

Even if you go to bed at the request of the man, you should return to your own position after you are done.

Yin Die was usually not afraid of her, and now that Jia Zhen had just had a great time, he didn't take her seriously.

"These are all orders from the master. I have no choice. I can't go against the master's wishes, can I?" She pushed Jia Zhen and said, "Master, please speak for me quickly, otherwise if the lady blames me, I can't bear it."

Although he said he couldn't take the responsibility, there was no sign of worry on his face.

Jia Zhen was pushed by Yin Die and opened his eyes. Seeing Youshi in front of the corridor, he shouted, "What are you making a fuss about? Have you finished your business?"

He was woken up from his sleep. He intended this sentence to scold Yindie, but to Youshi's ears, it sounded like he was blaming her.

Thinking that Zhang Yunyi had no one in the room recently, he would have to go again. Keeping Yindie, who was hard to tame, would inevitably lead to trouble. So she took the opportunity to say, "It is true that I shouldn't have made a fuss, but this girl has climbed onto my bed, and I dare not order her around anymore. I'd better let her stay with the master, and I'll change someone else tomorrow."

It was impossible for her to not have a maid forever, but it was impossible for Zhang Yunyi to drag it on forever, so he could take advantage of this gap and benefit both sides.

It has to be said that there are always more solutions than problems. Once you have an idea, you can always find various opportunities.

Yindie had long been unwilling to keep her cold heart burning, and she wished she could follow Jia Zhen, and kept leaning into Jia Zhen's arms.

While curling up his legs calmly, he reached his hand down.

Jia Zhen didn't care who a maid followed, but he enjoyed the fact that Yin Die was playing both sides.

"Alright! Then just follow me!"

However, what he was most concerned about at the moment was the problem of the two maids, which stopped Yin Die from taking any further action.

"Tell me quickly, how is it going?"

"It's agreed that the indenture will be delivered tomorrow." Yu Shi knew that she had to pick the good ones first.

"Good! Good! You did a good job this time. Be careful with your words to your wife and don't irritate her. If you can handle this well, I won't bother you about the previous things."

Jia Zhen didn't notice the difference at all, and said complacently: "I told you! What cat doesn't like fishy smells? Isn't it settled once I say it?"

"We all misunderstood each other. It took me a lot of effort to finally figure out the reason."

"Oh?"

Yu Shi then explained, "He said something like he had an imperial decree and couldn't be distracted right now. He should first accept the indentures of the two maids and then..."

Having said this, she looked at Jia Zhen with a wary look, fearing that he would attack her again.

Unexpectedly, Jia Zhen was not annoyed, but laughed and said, "This is better. As long as he has chosen someone, he won't care about the time."

Just when Youshi thought Jia Zhen had changed his mind, he pointed at her and said, "Remember last time Imperial Doctor Zhang said that my daughter-in-law's illness can only be cured after the Spring Equinox. Go talk to him tomorrow and talk about it. Why not wait until he's done with this job and send her and her indenture to him at once?"

He had no doubt about Zhang Yunyi's reasons, and even hoped that he would see some results soon so that he could get a piece of the pie.

Before things were implemented, he was worried that his plans would fail, but now he hopes for perfection.

Even though Youshi was hoping for an excuse to find Zhang Yunyi, she was furious when she heard this reason.

"I begged and pleaded with him to finally give in, but now he's dragging his feet again. How can I put my face aside?"

Youshi knew Jia Zhen's temper very well. For Qin Shi, he would not be soft-hearted even if it made things difficult for her, so she took the opportunity to make trouble for him.

Jia Zhen was fooled, and he stopped bossing around. Instead, he smiled and said, "What's the big deal? There's no one here. Just say there are too many indentures in the mansion and you can't find them all at once. Be humble, tell him you're wrong, and ask him to forgive you for a while."

He kicked Yindie and yelled, "There's no place for you to sleep here. Get out of the way, Madam! And bring me the white porcelain bottle next to my bed."

Jia Zhen thought that Youshi's harassment was dissatisfaction, so he wanted to comfort her.

But he was not as vigorous as Zhang Yunyi, so he thought he couldn't be too perfunctory.

But he had no idea that Youshi had already eaten and drunk her fill at Zhang Yunyi's place, so she didn't care about his topping at all.

No...it’s not even a topping, it’s just soup.

"Forget it! I'm tired too. Taking too much of that tiger and wolf medicine is not good for my body. I'm also tired. Yun Yi wants my help with the errand tomorrow."

Originally, seeing that Jia Zhen did not pursue the matter, she was worried about complications and did not use her backup plan. But now she can only use this excuse.

Yu Shi still didn't know what Zhang Yunyi meant by the emperor's errand, but Jia Zhen knew it all and asked immediately, "A errand? What kind of errand did he say it was?"

"This..." Yu Shi hesitated, "He just said it was an errand for the Emperor. I saw it was getting late, so I didn't ask in detail..."

It was just an excuse, but when Jia Zhen continued to question him, he couldn't help feeling guilty.

Unexpectedly, Jia Zhen clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Since it is the emperor's errand, I will definitely not be able to escape."

After saying this, he looked at Youshi with shining eyes.

He was worrying about how to get involved, but he didn't expect that Youshi, who was useless in his eyes, would intervene and disrupt the situation.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help rubbing his hands.

Youshi just thought he was in the mood and secretly groaned in her heart. They were husband and wife, and although she had been tormented to the point of numbness and weakness, if Jia Zhen really wanted to force himself on her, she had no reason to refuse.

However, Zhang Yunyi's hands were not gentle or heavy, and it was unknown whether there were any traces on his body.

Just as he was feeling anxious, he saw Jia Zhen's eyes narrowed into a line, smacking his lips and saying, "Don't worry about anything else for the time being. Go to him whenever you have something to do. If he has any requests, do your best to satisfy him."

Yu Shi was still confused, but Jia Zhen became more and more excited as he spoke, "The truth is revealed in the details. You can't just focus on the job. You should go to ask about my health three times a day, morning and evening. Use all the energy you usually put into taking care of me. Be as considerate as you can."

Youshi's jaw dropped in shock, and she was speechless as she said, "How can a sister-in-law go into her brother-in-law's room every day?"

"What are you afraid of? I want to see who dares to talk too much. If you can trap him, whoever dares to turn his back on you in this mansion will be the first one I will not forgive."

"Since you said so, I can only give up this face."

"What shame? Money is useless!"

"In that case, I have to go and ask about your well-being early tomorrow morning as instructed by Master. Can I rest earlier now?"

"Hey!" Jia Zhen quickly stood up, put on his clothes and said, "Then you should go to bed early."
