The Red Mansion Big Liar

Although the emperor's words are never a joke, the matter involves the throne and the foundation of the country. Not to mention that the imperial decree has not been issued yet, there are many cases where the imperial edict is withdrawn.

Since Concubine Zhen and Prince Ning are so eager to get married, I'm afraid that even if they really are connected with Wang Ziteng, there are prerequisites.

Going back on one's word would be embarrassing, but delaying the order would allow one to have the best of both worlds.

Chapter 198 Is He a Man?

Happy days are always short.

In a blink of an eye, it is already the fourteenth day of the first lunar month.

These days, Zhang Yun逸 went to instruct the treatment of bird droppings during the day, and returned to the hot spring villa in the evening to play with Qin Keqing and others. He was indeed having a great time.

The only drawback is probably the limited number of people in the harem team. Although five golden hairpins were brought this time, only four were usable.

All men have bad habits. Even though he has many tricks, after a while, they will inevitably lose some of their novelty.

He made up his mind that he must expand the scale of the villa.

Also, next time we come, in addition to Youshi who did not come with us this time, it would be best if we could bring a few more people from Rong Mansion.

After a few days of guidance, Zhang Cheng has become familiar with the process of handling bird droppings.

As a person in a higher position, the most important thing is to employ people, and he does not intend to do the rest of the things himself.

I just told him to follow the procedures and handle it with caution.

Because the Rong Mansion has prepared a night banquet for the Lantern Festival tomorrow, he has specially returned to the villa early today, intending to review the past and learn new things with the four of them after taking a bath.

So that we can return home before the city gate closes.

He returned to the manor with ease, but did not see Qin Keqing and the other three in the sun room by the pool.

Since he had already informed him beforehand that he would come back early today, Zhang Yunyi just thought of it as a surprise for himself.

Plus, his body odor was really bad, so he didn't go into the room to call for help.

He peeled off all the hair and stepped into the misty pool.

When he built the villa, he intended it to be a place for play.

Taking into account that Jinchai has a sub-volume and another sub-volume, and the number of people is large, the pool is built large enough. Surrounded by mist, one cannot see the end at a glance.

After soaking for a while and washing away the smell on my body, I saw that the four people had not come out yet.

He couldn't help but feel playful and wanted to play a trick on them.

He hurriedly picked up the clothes discarded by the pool and put them next to the rockery beside the pool.

After putting away the clothes, Fang reached the deep end of the pool.

But just as I walked to the center of the pool, I noticed a graceful and familiar figure curled up in the opposite corner.

He took a few steps forward calmly, and when the figure became clear, he pretended to be surprised and asked, "Why are you hiding here?"

This familiar figure was naturally Sister You San. Having decided to be the first to file a complaint, he deliberately emphasized the word "hide".

Upon hearing this, Third Sister You, who had been curled up in the water, suddenly stood up. Her hands, which were covering the hem of her skirt, unconsciously loosened their grip, and her whole body blossomed like a lotus emerging from the water.

She raised her snow-white neck with water droplets hanging on it and retorted, "My brother-in-law saw me early in the morning, but he didn't say anything. He had to get close to me before asking, and then he bit back. Are you a man?"

Although she wanted to support herself, she couldn't bring herself to do it in front of Qin Keqing and her sister, so she took the initiative to move forward.

It was also thanks to You Erjie that she got the reminder from You Lao Niang, and knew that Zhang Yunyi would come back early today, so she wanted to help her, so she took Qin Keqing back to the house to talk and made room for her.

However, even so, Third Sister You couldn't bring herself to lose face and threw herself into his arms.

As soon as Zhang Yunyi entered the water, she heard the sound, but she kept hiding in the distance, wondering whether to go over.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yunyi took the lead and moved towards where she was hiding.

Originally, she was a little shy when she thought about what she was going to do, but Zhang Yunyi clearly had bad intentions and was the first to complain.

While making her feel dissatisfied, it also alleviated her shyness, so she gave it her all and simply used provocation.

Unfortunately, Zhang Yun逸 had already trained himself to be strong and tough, so how could he not get carried away by a little provocation?

He glanced at the piece of brocade handkerchief twisted in Third Sister You's hand intentionally or unintentionally.

With the mentality of playing cat and mouse, he looked at Third Sister You without any hesitation, her proud and upright figure wrapped in a suspender skirt, and her fair breasts covered with water stains and emitting white steam.

Although Third Sister You was mentally prepared, she had never experienced such a situation before. She was so ashamed that she lowered her head.

Seeing this, Zhang Yunyi said jokingly, "Third sister, don't you know whether your brother-in-law is a man or not?"

Whether he was trying to catch an adulterer by the flower garden or teasing Jia Zhen in Youshi's courtyard, she did not hesitate to do anything, whether she saw it or heard it.

Third Sister You did not expect that, instead of being provoked, he was leisurely ridiculing her.

For a moment, shame, grievance, resentment, all kinds of emotions surged into her heart. She bit her lower lip unconsciously, raised her head and looked at Zhang Yunyi.

But I happened to see his eyes, searching in the water intentionally or unintentionally.

She glanced at where Zhang Yunyi was looking, and then unconsciously glanced at the underwater on the opposite side.

Fang chuckled and gritted his teeth, "Ha! If my brother-in-law were a man, how could he have the heart to steal but not the courage? He only watches but does not practice, and only does some superficial work but does not dare to do anything serious!"

Zhang Yunyi narrowed his eyes, looked him up and down, and said with disdain, "Brother-in-law is worried that your body won't be able to handle it, and you'll cry out in a moment!"

"How can you know if you don't try it, brother-in-law?" Third Sister You pursed her lips and asked provocatively, "Are you worried that you will lose face?"

“Hehehe!” Zhang Yunyi had had enough of teasing her, and seeing that she had taken the initiative to give in, he was also worried that he had gone too far, so he laughed strangely and said, “This is what you asked for, so don’t blame me for being too harsh later!”

As he spoke, he walked quickly forward, squatted down quickly, and stood up suddenly, carrying the unsuspecting Third Sister You on his shoulders.

At the same time, the empty arm was raised and slapped diagonally on the round shape that was raised on the shoulder.

There was a crisp sound of "pop".

Before Third Sister You could react, she felt dizzy again and Zhang Yunyi turned her over and she lay on the steps beside the pool.

Then, an indescribable emotion filled my heart.

She couldn't help but open her mouth, but seemed to have thought of something. She stubbornly didn't say anything and endured everything silently.

……

The misty pool water slapped mercilessly against the white tiled steps, and waves of rhythmic "splashing" sounds could be heard faintly in the depths of the pool.

The ripples that were stirred up gradually spread out in the pool water and spread toward the outside of the pool.

You Erjie took Qin Keqing's arm and walked slowly from the house to the edge of the pond.

Although she wanted to buy time and space for her sister, Zhang Yunyi had already said that he would come back early, so it was not convenient to delay Qin Keqing for too long.

She glanced around the pool, but did not find any clothes left by Zhang Yunyi, which made her feel a little disappointed.

He frowned unconsciously and was about to shout towards the deep end of the pool where the sound came from, but Qin Keqing covered his mouth with her hand.

Just as she was wondering, she saw Qin Keqing pointing at the ripples on the water and whispering, "Second aunt, don't make a sound. Third aunt might be embarrassed!"

Although You Erjie did not say it explicitly, she chose to take her back to her room before Zhang Yunyi came back, but only left You Sanjie behind. Qin Keqing knew the purpose very well.

I'm just going with the flow and pretending not to know.

After being reminded by Qin Keqing, You Erjie immediately held her breath and listened attentively.

Sure enough, the 'rustling' sound, although not as intense as before, the rhythm was just as good.

She no longer had any doubts and looked into the depths of the pool with great relief, then turned her head and gave Qin Keqing a grateful smile.

They held hands and returned to the house.

Chapter 199 Don’t let the wealth go to outsiders

Although he had no intention of confronting Yu Sanjie, her unyielding spirit aroused Zhang Yunyi's determination to tame her.

He inevitably increased the force, but she eventually became overwhelmed and unable to bear the strain. She couldn't help but howl.

However, this did cause some damage to Third Sister You's health, and it became difficult for her to sustain the long journey.

Zhang Yunyi had no choice but to stay in the hot spring villa for one more night to allow her to recuperate.

The next day, the sun rises three poles.

He handed Ruizhu a piece of brocade handkerchief that looked like it had been smeared with glue, and told her to put it in an iron box when she got home.

Fang took everyone, got on the carriage and returned to Ning Mansion.

Since it was the first time that Third Sister You received the emperor's favor, when the group returned to the garden, Zhang Yunyi had to ask her whether she had recovered and chatted with her for a few private words.

After settling Sister You San, he went to see Xiangling again.

Coincidentally, Jiao Xing came over to talk to Feng, and he bumped into her.

Jia Yucun, who was bent on climbing up the social ladder, could not stop thinking about her and even promoted her from a maid to his wife. Naturally, Jiao Xing had a good appearance and figure.

Now, although it is not the same as before, I am still young and in the prime of my life.

However, the long-term life of luxury has not only not added many traces of time to her face, but has instead added a bit of dignity and elegance to her charm.

The last time Jia Yucun brought her here, Zhang Yunyi accompanied them in the front yard, while Jiao Xing went straight to Huifang Garden to meet Feng. The two parties had never met before.

At this moment, Zhang Yunyi couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Judging from Xiangling's age, she should be slightly younger than Aunt Xue.

However, her foundation was not as good as Aunt Xue's. She could not compare with her round and beautiful figure, but her noble lady's temperament was similar to Aunt Xue. Overall, she was between Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang.

After all, the Xue family was engaged in business, so Aunt Xue was inevitably tainted with some of the businessmen's materialism.

Jia Yucun had been the prefect of Jinling for many years. To be honest, his official position was more than two levels higher than Jia Zheng.

That is to say, as the legitimate daughter of the Wang family, and having married into the noble family of Jia, Mrs. Wang had the dignity and grace of a noble lady, which could not be achieved by someone like Jiao Xing, who was born a maid, simply by artificial makeup.

Perhaps it was because of Jia Yucun's advice, although he knew that Zhang Yun逸 did not hold a high position, he did not dare to be arrogant when he saw him and quickly stood up to greet him.

After all, it was getting late and he had to go to the Rong Mansion for a banquet soon. Zhang Yunyi couldn't stay long, so he just returned the greeting, said hello, and went to the next room with Xiangling.

As Xiangling was unable to go with him, in order not to arouse her depression, he naturally did not say much about the beauty of the place. He only talked about the scenery of the hot spring villa and the feeling of soaking in the hot springs.

Even so, Xiangling still looks forward to it very much.

Zhang Yunyi had to comfort her, and after she gave birth and had her confinement period, he took her out to relax.

When it was almost dusk, Youshi came in person to urge him, and he and Youshi hurried to Rongfu together.

He arrived the latest and everyone had already taken their seats, but he still sat at the same table with Jia Zhen, Jia Lian and Xue Pan.

When the four of them got together, the topic inevitably turned to Jia Lian's illness.

In the past few days, Jia Lian has also tried to find another way to treat his illness.

Since Jia Rong was cured of his illness by eavesdropping, he would follow the prescription. Although he didn't dare to mention Wang Xifeng, he could still use some stronger medicine in a different way.

So, during the New Year holidays, when Wang Xifeng was busy dealing with social interactions and had no time to take care of other things, she asked Xue Pan to go to Jinxiang Courtyard twice.

However, facing the live erotic scene performed by Xue Pan in front of him, he still couldn't muster up the energy.

While questioning Jia Rong's method, he couldn't help feeling dejected.

Xue Pan was not very considerate and consoled her, "Heart disease needs heart medicine to cure, and the person who tied the bell needs to untie it. Brother Lian, don't be too anxious. You are husband and wife, and you can talk to her later. It's better not to leave her to die without help."

". Jia Lian was sensitive and suspicious at that time. He had just asked Xue Pan to cooperate in a play, but now he was hinting at something, so he couldn't help but doubt his intentions.

"What do you mean by that? Are you thinking I'm not unlucky enough and want me to be a coward and wear a green hat on my head?"

He glared at Xue Pan and said, "Am I, Lian Er, such a shameless person?"

Xue Pan looked embarrassed and scratched his head, not wanting to say anything more.

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Jia Zhen's face froze and he secretly glanced at Zhang Yun逸.

Although he knew that Jia Lian's words were not directed at him, that shameless remark still irritated him.

So, he said half-truthfully, "Wenlong meant well, why did you get so angry with him? I'm not saying anything to you. It would be fine if your illness can be cured. If it can't be cured, you will be depressed for the rest of your life. Not only will you never have a carefree life again, but how will you explain to Feng girl? Don't you think about it? With her personality, can she remain a widow for the rest of her life without knowing the truth?"
