The Red Mansion Big Liar

Chapter 226 Quiet and Thoughtful

While Zhang Yun逸 was setting his sights on Jin Chuan, Jia Zheng also began to think of taking action.

Although he is not like Jia She, he is not a person who has no desires.

Half a year had passed since he was ordered by Lady Jia to move back to Lady Wang's courtyard, and he had already been unable to hold back his anger.

man!

The more you can’t get it, the more you miss it.

However, now that he was living in Lady Wang's courtyard, Jin Chuan still lingered before his eyes from time to time, making him feel increasingly itchy.

Although Mrs. Wang had said before that she intended to give the gold bracelet to Jia Baoyu, time passed and there was no movement. He couldn't help but suspect that Mrs. Wang was trying to fool him.

However, not to mention that the couple was in discord because of the rumors, and because of Yuanchun's marriage, he became a hands-off boss, which made Mrs. Wang very angry.

Even if there were no such reasons, he would be too embarrassed to bring up the past.

After much thought, the only way is to remove the firewood from under the cauldron, starting with Jinchuan.

As long as Jin Chuan wants to belong to him, or even takes the initiative... then she will not be the maid coveting his son, but the one Jia Baoyu should avoid.

However, although his plan was very successful, he was too embarrassed to speak to Jin Chuan in person.

This kind of thing needs to be done by someone else. Not only must one consider the closeness of the relationship and choose someone who Jin Chuan can trust, but the person must also help him keep the secret, lest the news leak to Lady Wang's ears before the mission is accomplished.

He had no other choice except Aunt Zhao who met this condition.

Although Grandmother Jia had expressly forbidden him to stay in Aunt Zhao's room, they both lived in the backyard and saw each other every day, so she could not prevent them from meeting.

Coincidentally, Aunt Zhao had been entrusted by Tanchun and had been looking for an opportunity.

That day, he met Jia Zheng who was returning home after office.

Jia Zheng quickly dismissed his attendants. Before he could give him instructions, Aunt Zhao had already started to complain, "Master! I was so foolish that I almost made a big mistake. I dare not ask for forgiveness, Master or Madam. But, since I am not here to serve you, you don't even have anyone who understands you. I feel uneasy just thinking about it!"

She was used to superficial work, and her voice was full of emotion, so Jia Zheng couldn't help being moved.

However, the husband is the head of the wife, and as a master, he thinks it is natural for his wives and concubines to have such an attitude.

Originally, he still found it difficult to speak, but Aunt Zhao's words gave him a way out.

"You still know your limits! It just so happens that the master has something for you to do."

This……

Aunt Zhao was stunned when she heard this. This was different from the script she had expected.

She was not completely ignorant of the situation in Lady Wang's courtyard, and knew that Jia Zheng had been living in the side room.

I had thought that Jia Zheng had been holding it in for half a year, and he would surely not be able to control himself after all this pretense.

Even with Lady Jia's order, it was not necessary to go to her room. Mengpo Zhai was only three or two steps away.

However, Jia Zheng said he had something to tell him, so although he was a little disappointed, he was not lost.

She wiped away the tears that she had forced out and said hesitantly, "I am the master's person, and it is my duty to do things for the master."

Jia Zheng nodded approvingly and said, "Well, you are right. The master really cannot be without a personal companion. Last year I intended to take Jin Chuan from the mistress's room as my concubine, but the mistress refused in every possible way. You can find an opportunity to flirt with her. If she is willing to follow the master, ask her to serve in the master's room when she is free. The master will not treat her harshly."

Although he didn't need to hide it too much in front of Aunt Zhao, he was too embarrassed to say it openly and compete with his son for the girl.

"Ah!" Aunt Zhao was stunned when she heard this. "Does the master despise me for being old and ugly?"

She used her beauty to please men, and if she hadn't panicked, she would never have said that she was old and ugly even if she had reached that age.

Although her support has always been Lady Jia, if Jia Zheng had not doted on her, how could Lady Jia have brought her out to cause trouble for Lady Wang?

"How could that be!" Jia Zheng denied it flatly. "It's just that filial piety comes first among all virtues. Since the old lady has spoken, the master cannot disobey her wishes. He must wait until the eldest girl is married before returning to your courtyard. You just said that there is no one around the master who understands his feelings."

The reason why Jia Zheng didn't mention it earlier or later, but chose to mention it at this time, was because Yuanchun's marriage had changed.

Originally, Grandmother Jia had ordered him to stay until Yuanchun got married, to prevent any gossip from spreading outside and affecting Yuanchun's reputation.

It would be fine if there was just some hope, he could just hold on and get through it.

Now, we don’t know when this matter will be resolved, how can we wait any longer?

However, although Jia Zheng denied it, Aunt Zhao refused to believe it.

But she was just a concubine and did not have the confidence to compete with Lady Wang and Jia Zheng.

She immediately bowed her head and said obediently: "Master, you are right. If I can have someone to help me take care of you, I will be more than happy."

Although she looked pretty, her heart was at its lowest.

She had already offended Mrs. Wang. If she went against Jia Zheng's wishes, not to mention losing her foothold in the mansion, it was doubtful whether she could save the lives of mother and son.

However, having said that, she is different from Aunt Zhou. She has often embarrassed herself in front of Lady Wang over the years. Once she falls out of favor, she will be at the mercy of others.

Especially at this time, Tanchun’s trust cannot be lost.

Zhang Yun逸 had even helped with Yuanchun's marriage, and she had also seen Mrs. Wang's attitude towards Zhang Yun逸. If she could make this marriage happen.

Even Mrs. Wang had to give him some face.

Thinking of this, Tanchun's words of taking it slow were long forgotten.

She quickly grabbed Jia Zheng's arm and said sadly, "I know I have committed a serious mistake. I dare not ask for forgiveness, Master and Madam. No matter how many mistakes I have made, they are all my fault. The girl and the boy are both your biological children. Especially now that the girl has grown up, it's time for her to find a marriage. However, I have offended Madam, and I am afraid that I will also bring trouble to the girl. Please have mercy on me, Master!"

"Of course!" Jia Zheng agreed, but then changed the subject and said, "However, this is not something that can be achieved in a short time. Don't worry, the master will definitely find a good family for her."

Aunt Zhao said hurriedly: "I do have a candidate!"

In order to avoid having no chance to get any fresh air in the future, she had to ask for definite information while Jia Zheng still needed her.

Jia Zheng frowned slightly. Although Aunt Zhao was Tanchun's biological mother, marriage was not something she, a concubine, could interfere in.

However, since he was still counting on her to pass on his message, he did not blame her and said in a deep voice, "How much knowledge do you have? How do you know what a good family is? Stop causing trouble for the master!"

"Master! Although I am not very knowledgeable, I have met some of the brothers in the two mansions. Master Yi from the East Mansion is first-class in terms of age, status, family background, and character. He is also a relative, so I know him well..."

Before she could finish her words, Jia Zheng threw his sleeves and shouted, "Why are you bringing him up for no reason? Do you think the master is not ashamed enough?"

"Master! The eldest master doesn't feel ashamed, so why should the master..."

Although he could see that Jia Zheng was unhappy, it would be a dead end to just sit there and wait for death, so he might as well give it a try.

"Okay!" Jia Zheng knew that she had misunderstood his words, but he was unwilling to explain too much. He just said impatiently, "Remember to do what the master told you to do. The master knows this matter."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Aunt Zhao had been with him for more than ten years, so she naturally could hear the perfunctory tone in his words.

Watching Jia Zheng disappear, she pondered for a long time before gritting her teeth and saying, "Since you don't care about our friendship, I have no choice but to do it myself. I don't believe that I can't get it done without you!"

Chapter 227 The Scumbag’s Tricks

There is no peace in the Rong Mansion, and the same is true in the Ning Mansion.

That day, after a set of boxing, Zhen Shiyin hesitated and said, "Yun Yi, Rong Ge'er in the mansion has been coming to me at night recently to ask about pharmacology, but he is only interested in drugs that conflict with each other. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Zhang Yunyi felt that it was too formal to always call him "Sir", so he asked Zhen Shiyin to call him by his name.

Although Zhang Yun逸 was not on guard against him, he took the initiative to avoid suspicion and asked to live in the guest room in the front yard, which made it convenient for Jia Rong.

He waved his hand and said calmly, "You can't blame him for this. He's not young anymore and still doesn't have a child to inherit the family business. He must be a little impatient because of his youth. Just explain to him clearly what can and cannot be used, and that's it."

Zhang Yun逸 knew Jia Rong's purpose.

Although I feel that this method is too slow to take effect, I have to admit that it saves some trouble.

After all, Jia Zhen had the habit of taking medicine to help him feel better, so even if something really went wrong, it would not arouse suspicion.

He openly asked Zhen Shiyin to remind Jia Rong of the mutual generation and mutual restraint, but in fact he wanted to prevent Jia Rong from being a blind man groping in the dark and having no clue.

Zhen Shiyin had no idea of ​​these hidden secrets, so he just nodded in agreement.

Zhang Yunyi learned about Xiangling's situation before returning to Dengxian Pavilion.

Because of a casual chat with Zhen Shiyin, Ruizhu and Baozhu were not notified, but prepared breakfast according to the usual time.

In order to avoid catching a cold and hurting his stomach, he did not rush to take a shower. He only went upstairs after eating.

After bathing, he went to the second-floor balcony as usual and looked at the Grand View Garden.

But she saw Jia Baoyu sitting on a stone under the peach blossoms beside the Qinfang Bridge.

He held a book in his hand, but did not look down to read. Instead, he looked around in a sneaky manner.

Suddenly, Jia Baoyu, like a student making small movements in class, suddenly sat up straight when he noticed the figure of his head teacher outside the window.

Zhang Yunyi couldn't help but feel curious about his actions.

Just as he was wondering, he saw Lin Daiyu's delicate figure coming into view.

She seemed to have discovered Jia Baoyu sitting on the stone. She lifted her skirt, tiptoed around behind the 'unaware' Jia Baoyu, and patted him on the shoulder.

Fuck!

Seeing that Jia Baoyu was trying to cover up his mistake, he handed the book in his hand to Lin Daiyu as if he was presenting a treasure.

Zhang Yunyi cursed secretly in his heart.

Jia Baoyu is a very cunning guy. He is trying to instigate Lin Daiyu to watch The West Chamber together!

He tore off the official uniform he had just put on and turned back into the house.

He also instructed Ruizhu: "Change into casual clothes. If you go to the front again, you will only tell Xier to go to the government office to pass on the message that the master will not go to the government office today."

Don't ever think that Jia Baoyu's motives are pure. Even if Zhang Yun逸 didn't see him acting sneakily, he could guess that his motives were not pure.

In his previous life, hadn't he used various methods to coax his girlfriend by watching romance movies, even romance action movies?

In order to achieve the effect of natural development.

You know, the impact of The West Chamber on a young girl like Lin Daiyu who is not well-versed in the world is even greater than that on a girl who is well-informed in her previous life.

After all, he is still a scumbag, and he knows all the tricks of scumbags best.

He hurriedly put on his clothes and came to the east corner gate. The gatekeeper had already received instructions, so she smiled and opened the door and said, "Master Yi, do you want to go into the garden for a walk?"

Zhang Yun逸 had no time for idle chat. He threw a piece of silver, waved at the bowing old woman, and hurried towards Qinfang Bridge.

When I came to the bridge, I saw Lin Daiyu reading a book with a red face.

Jia Baoyu, who was standing aside, was scratching his ears and cheeks, as if he wanted to reach out his hand but didn't dare to.

He did not alarm the two, but walked quickly to the front and suddenly said, "Sister Lin, Brother Bao, this is..."

At this point, he looked at the book in Lin Daiyu's hand, and his voice stopped abruptly. Then he stretched out his hand and said, "Sister Lin, give me the book!"

"Yi...Brother Yi!"

Zhang Yunyi's sudden words really scared the two of them.

However, unlike Jia Baoyu who looked panic-stricken, Lin Daiyu looked as pale as death.

Looking at Zhang Yunyi's outstretched hand, she suddenly woke up from a dream. She put her hand holding the book behind her back, bit her pale lips until they were bloody, and said stubbornly, "I'm reading this book. Please forgive me for not obeying your order."

Zhang Yunyi did not take it as an offense, but laughed and said, "Sister Lin, you don't know. Last time on my uncle's birthday, Brother Zhen ordered this book in the front yard. Brother Bao saw that it was different from what he usually read, so he asked Brother Zhen. That's when he learned about this storybook. I usually like to read some miscellaneous books, so I lent it to him!"

Hearing this, Lin Daiyu felt dizzy.

"Bao... Baoyu, didn't you say you bought the book?"

Her face turned pale and blue, and her voice was trembling.

In ancient times, men and women were not allowed to pass things on to each other privately, let alone such banned books.

Zhang Yun逸 wanted to create this kind of ambiguity and at the same time, destroy the privacy between her and Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu didn't know Zhang Yunyi's purpose yet, and said in bewilderment: "How could I lie to my sister? This was indeed bought by me..."

Zhang Yunyi looked at Jia Baoyu and said jokingly, "Oh? Did you really buy it? Although it's not a valuable item, would I lie? Brother Zhen and the others were there at the time. If not, we can confront them in front of Uncle Shi!"

"Don't!" Jia Baoyu said repeatedly, "I lied to my sister. This book was indeed borrowed from Brother Yi."

Jia Baoyu had no idea of ​​Zhang Yun逸's insidiousness, and he didn't understand why he was so determined to seize the book.

But he had received a severe beating in Jia Zheng's study. If he had knowingly committed the offense, he would have been skinned alive if not killed.
