The Red Mansion Big Liar

"Sister-in-law said..."

Yu Shi said this suddenly, without any context, and Zhang Yunyi was unable to react for a moment to understand the meaning of her words.

"Last time Yun Yi reminded Lan, she has always thought that I had pleaded for her, and she has been very friendly with me recently. The West Mansion also knows about this. Tomorrow I will test her attitude first, and then invite her to the mansion. Others will not be suspicious..."

Yu's words were exactly what Zhang Yunyi wanted.

After all, Li Wan is a widow, and even if Lady Jia makes the door open for her, there may not be a chance for them to meet in private.

On the contrary, they are on guard against boys but not girls. Yushi and Ping'er have no such restrictions.

Logically, Ping'er, since she has a relationship with Li Wan and is a member of the Rong Mansion, should be more suitable for this task.

But she was from the Rong family after all, and she was not aware of her own private affairs, so she might not be willing to do such a job.

On the contrary, it was Youshi, who knew each other well and volunteered, which was perfect.

This was his original intention, so when Ping'er interceded for Li Wan, he used the heavy clothes to delay.

The plan was to openly repair the plank road and secretly attack Chencang.

Let Ping'er calm Li Wan down first, and then ask Youshi to invite her to Ning Mansion privately.

However, he was not clear about the relationship between Youshi and Li Wan. He wanted to take advantage of today's inquiry to ask her indirectly and ask Youshi to contact more people and establish some friendship with them.

Unexpectedly, the groundwork had already been laid in advance, which saved me a lot of effort.

He put his arm around Youshi's slim waist and said with a smile, "Thank you for taking the trouble to run around for me, sister-in-law. I'll have to thank you when we get back home."

I originally thought I still had to convince Youshi to help, but now that she has volunteered, I still have to thank her.

In order to prevent her from being confused and unable to express her thoughts, he took the opportunity to tell her some details that Ping'er had told her.

By the way, it also adds a touch of strange emotions to the ordinary life.

……

"Don't worry, Grandma. Grandpa said that Lan is weak and his clothes are too heavy to move freely. It's better to wait until spring when he can wear lighter clothes. Then I can give Lan some advice."

Ping'er returned to Rongfu and reported to Wang Xifeng before she found time to come to Li Wan's courtyard.

She originally planned to tell her that she had lived up to her trust and then turn back, but she was still dragged and pulled into the room by Li Wan.

"Thanks to you, I can feel at ease now!"

Li Wan held Ping'er's hand and stroked it, saying, "You usually accompany Feng girl, so it's rare for you to come over. Now that you're here, I think you shouldn't leave today. Let's talk by candlelight and have a good chat."

Talking late into the night by candlelight is fake, but knowing the taste after tasting it is real.

Since Ping'er went to the East Palace today and received a reply, she must have met Zhang Yunyi. How could she return empty-handed?

Although Ping'er didn't understand her true intention, the implication was very clear to her.

Last time, she was caught off guard and the liquid was contaminated by Li Wan as soon as it touched her mouth. But this time, unlike last time, she hurried back, not only rinsed her mouth, but also had dinner.

This made Li Wan, who didn't get any taste of the flavor, feel very disappointed.

Rinsing your mouth is easy, but taking a bath is not that easy.

After a moment's thought, Li Wan understood the key and dragged Ping'er onto the bed.

Ping'er was shocked. She had stayed in Li Wan's room for one night last time, and now Jia Lian was living in the outer study, so she had to stay with Wang Xifeng.

Today's trip to the East Palace was quite refreshing, which made Wang Xifeng feel nostalgic. If she brings some of the lingering emotions back from Li Wan, she doesn't know how she will blame herself.

However, Li Wan's obsession made it difficult for her to break free, and because of the difference in their status, she did not dare to be ruthless. Not only did she fail to escape, but she was instead dragged onto the couch.

Seeing that most of her collar had been opened, she had no choice but to cover it up while saying, "Grandma, Master already knows about our affair."

These words were like a thunderclap, and Li Wan couldn't help but pause.

Ping'er took advantage of her distraction to break free quickly and explained, "The eldest lady knows what the master is capable of. Naturally, we can't hide this from him."

She had not intended to hide this from Li Wan. After all, it concerned her privacy, and hiding it would make her seem guilty.

However, she originally planned to lay some groundwork first and then find a suitable opportunity.

Li Wan heard this and suddenly woke up from a dream. Her face flushed and she said, "I...how could I doubt you?"

Although she was impulsive at the time, when she asked Zhang Yun逸 to give Jia Lan some advice, she also considered that he might see some clues from Ping'er.

At first, she felt ashamed and angry when she thought about this dilemma, but gradually, a little unknown expectation appeared in her heart.

But now, from Ping'er's words, she was far less ashamed and angry than she had shown, and instead seemed to be a little worried and anxious.

He murmured in a low voice: "Could it be that he doesn't allow you to do this kind of thing?"

"No, no!" Ping'er waved her hands and explained, "Master just said it's too late and told me to stop. He didn't forbid me to come. It's just that Madam has been in a bad mood recently, so I can't stay for long."

After hearing this, Li Wan seemed to come alive. She raised her blushing cheeks and said in a trembling voice, "Oh! Oh! I didn't think it through!"

Ping'er was worried that she would do something extreme out of shame and anger, so she quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, Madam. The master is not the kind of person who gossips. And he knows that you are helping to cover it up, so even if he knew, he would just keep it to himself."

"I trust you. Your grandmother is waiting for you to come back. Don't delay."

Ping'er was still a little worried, and tried to comfort her for a while. She found that although Li Wan was shy, she did not show any expression of anger.

Fang stood up and said goodbye, "Grandma, don't forget. Lan is counting on you to supervise my studies and keep fit. I have been delayed for a long time. I am afraid that grandma will be impatient, so I will go back first."

Chapter 180 Adding fuel to the fire (Part )

After finally sending Ping'er away, Li Wan sat heavily on the bed with her plump buttocks. The intoxicating blush on her cold and beautiful oval face could no longer be concealed.

She weakly peeled off the restraints on her body, pulled the quilt to cover herself, slid sideways, and tightly clasped the quilt with her legs, wrapping her plump and delicate body, which was as hot as a branding iron and no one cared about, tightly together with the quilt covering her body.

She tossed and turned for an unknown amount of time before her body gradually softened and she fell into a drowsy sleep.

In the dream, it was still that extremely familiar cave that I woke up in the middle of the night.

However, the person who walked into the cave was no longer Ping'er, but herself!

Although the cave was cramped, dark and damp, Zhang Yunyi in front of him was like a ball of fire, not only illuminating the cave but also dispelling the coldness.

He was like a ferocious beast ready to devour its prey, with white air coming out of his mouth and fire spitting from his eyes. He pounced on her without a care in the world.

Pushing, tearing, whipping...

"Grandma! Grandma...Grandma, what's wrong with you?"

A burst of urgent calls woke Li Wan from her sleep.

"Ho..."

She opened her eyes and wanted to ask, but only a moan that sounded like a scream or a laugh came out from the depths of her throat.

A chill came over her forehead. Su Yun placed her small hand on it and asked with concern, "Grandma's head is so hot. Are you sick? I'll go get someone to find a doctor right away..."

"Don't! Don't..." Li Wan hurriedly grabbed Suyun, "Maybe the fire in the room is too strong and it's making me uncomfortable. Go get me a glass of water and I'll be fine."

Suyun hurried out and returned with a cup of warm water.

Seeing that Li Wan was already wrapped in a blanket and sitting on the bed, he hurriedly handed her the water.

Li Wan gulped down the tea in the cup, then exhaled heavily and asked, "What time is it?"

Suyun took the cup and replied, "It's past the second watch. My brother just finished reviewing and was going to greet grandma, so he went back to bed."

When Li Wan heard Jia Lan coming to greet her, a look of shame flashed across her face.

She wanted to cheer herself up and test her son's homework, but she felt lazy all over and couldn't muster the energy at all.

He could only wave his hand and said, "Forget it! It's late now, let him go to bed early!"

After he finished speaking, he paused, and when Suyun walked to the door, Fang hurriedly called her, "You go over there and watch over her first. I'm going to sleep now, so you don't need to come over later."

"How can this be possible? Grandma is not feeling well, how can she get out of here?"

A trace of confusion flashed across Li Wan's face. She took a deep breath and sighed, "Forget it! Then go and settle Lan'er first!"

Suyun hurriedly took the order and sent Jia Lan back to the house, then told the maids and servants to take good care of him.

She then came to Li Wan's room carrying bedding.

Seeing that Li Wan had already fallen asleep on her side, he did not dare to disturb her and spread the bedding on the porch in front of the bed.

Because he was worried that Li Wan might not feel well at night and need to get up, he lay down with his clothes on.

Although she is not very old, she is able to serve closely and her quality is not low. She does not dare to sleep too deeply.

However, every time there was tossing and turning in bed, she opened her mouth to ask, but never got a response, until the second half of the night when things became a little quieter.

That night, neither the master nor the servant slept well.

When he got up the next day, he almost missed the time. After getting up and washing up, he didn't even have time to eat breakfast, and hurried to visit Lady Jia in the morning and evening.

……

Let’s go back to Youshi. As she was feeling well both physically and mentally, she helped Zhang Yunyi get up in the morning. After he went to the yamen, she returned to her own room in Doufengxuan and took a short nap for an hour or so. It was not until noon that she became lazy and combed her hair.

She would not dare to slack off regarding Zhang Yunyi's matter and would spare no effort.

But when I really thought about it, I felt a little nervous.

Put yourself in his shoes. Before Zhang Yunyi moved into Ning Mansion, she had only been a widow for more than two years, and yet she fell into it overnight and couldn't extricate herself.

What’s more, Li Wan has been a widow for ten years?

She has great confidence in Zhang Yunyi.

However, all things are difficult at the beginning. Although she has experience in matchmaking for her own sister, Li Wan's identity is different.

At the beginning, even though Jia Zhen was so strict with herself, she still hesitated, let alone Li Wan, the widowed grandmother of Rongguo Mansion?

Moreover, compared to her, Li Wan at least has Jia Lan as her spiritual support, so she would probably dare not act rashly.

After all, thinking and doing are two different things. Although I learned some details from Zhang Yunyi, they may not be safe.

Especially since Li Wan was still in the dark about her relationship with Zhang Yun逸, she might be deterred even if she was interested.

She dressed neatly and came to Rong Mansion.

After greeting Lady Jia, he moved to the three-room porch of Rong Xi Hall.

When Wang Xifeng saw her enter the room, she sat up slightly on the kang and said with a smile, "Oh! Sister Zhen is a rare guest."

"I'm not here to see you."

Youshi smiled and took Ping'er's hand, and said to Wang Xifeng directly, "You kept it a secret from me for a long time. I only found out yesterday that Ping'er is now a member of our family. I have been lacking a helper. Can you tell me when you will let her go?"

Wang Xifeng sneered, "What the eldest sister-in-law said is true. Although she is with Brother Yi, no matter how you look at it, she can't be said to be a member of the sister-in-law's house, right?"

When she said this, Youshi felt embarrassed. She was used to thinking of herself as Zhang Yunyi's person, so her words were inevitably filled with preconceived ideas.

Normally no one would dwell on this point, but today he happened to meet Wang Xifeng, and they didn't like each other in the first place, and for a moment they were at loggerheads, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Ping'er quickly came to the rescue, saying, "Master has no relatives and lives in the East Mansion, so he naturally regards the East Mansion as his home. Why does Madam have to be so fussy about the details?"

Wang Xifeng half-jokingly said, "Hey! You little slut, you've forgotten the old one when you've found a new one. Now you're embarrassing me by helping my eldest sister-in-law!"

"Oh! Now she's being jealous? Let's ignore her."

You patted Ping'er's hand and said, "After all, you have more face in front of Brother Yi. A while ago, your eldest grandmother also asked me to find Yun Yi to help Lan boy strengthen his body, but he never agreed. When you mentioned it yesterday, he agreed."

"Grandma...I..."

Ping'er thought that Youshi came to blame her for doing what she had failed to do. She felt ashamed and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Although Wang Xifeng would occasionally vent her anger on Ping'er, she was extremely protective of her and would not tolerate others criticizing Ping'er.

She immediately said, "Hey! Sister-in-law, you just said I was jealous, but now you are jealous too? But Ping'er is from Brother Yi's room, how can you, the sister-in-law, be jealous?"

Youshi spat, "Bah! Look at your mouth, you are so outspoken, how can you say such nonsense? She and I are like sisters, and I am only happy that Ping'er can get things done. Why would I be jealous?"

After she said this, Wang Xifeng and Ping'er looked at each other, confused for a moment as to what Youshi was up to.

Fortunately, Youshi also kept the secret, patting Ping'er's hand and saying, "This is a good thing. You should tell her earlier so that she can feel at ease. If you don't have time to go, I will go and tell her for you."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xifeng snorted coldly and turned her head away with disdain.

Ping'er also showed a trace of embarrassment on her face, and said, "Madam, you are absolutely right. When I came back yesterday, I took the time to tell the eldest madam..."

"That's good! That's good! Then I won't delay any longer and will go see her right away!"
