Although she has been in Rong Mansion for several years, to be honest, it is not as long as the time she spent in Lai's family.

The days assigned to Jia Baoyu by Grandmother Jia were even shorter.

There are differences in closeness to her, and as both were maids assigned by Grandmother Jia and lived under the same roof, they were both strong competitors for the position of aunt. She knew very well what Jia Baoyu was doing with Xiren.

Although he was proud and disdainful of Xiren's behavior, he still felt a little resentful in his heart.

Lai Da knew everything about the Rong Mansion, comparing it to Qianxue who was driven out the year before last and Jinchuan this time.

Among them, it is inevitable to publicize Zhang Yunyi's bright future and contrast it with Jia Baoyu's irresponsibility, and then use Xiangling as a model.

She had no psychological barriers to switching to Zhang Yunyi.

Having said that, she was given such a pretext and was abandoned by the Rong family. Now she was sent to Zhang Yun逸 like a commodity and was weighed.

Especially since Zhang Yunyi looked so calm and composed, she, who had always been proud and arrogant, couldn't help but feel a little emotional and pouted.

Naturally, Zhang Yunyi's heart was not as calm as he appeared.

However, he didn't show any emotion.

Naturally, he had no intention of letting Qingwen, the most outstanding maid in Rong Mansion, go.

But because she was assigned to Jia Baoyu, she couldn't ask for it.

He originally thought that he had to wait until Mrs. Wang drove him out of Rong Mansion before he could take action. He didn't expect that he could get it so effortlessly just by telling Lai Dashi a word. It made him feel a little amused.

If the flattery in the government office was still concerned about decency and concealed, this time, people really felt the benefits of being in a higher position.

Just a casual remark made Lai Da think hard about it and even came up with this.

I swear to God, when he mentioned Qingwen, it was just to find a reasonable excuse to pay attention to Jinchuan.

I didn't expect that an unexpected effort would lead to a great success.

Originally, when he learned that Baoyu was beaten but ended up living in the Grand View Garden by accident, he felt a little regretful.

Now, seeing Qingwen, that feeling of regret has long disappeared.

Although, after what happened, in order to avoid making things look too ugly, Yuchuan could not be asked for for the time being, but being able to exchange her for Qingwen was something he would love to have.

After all, with the relationship with Jinchuan, it would be a natural thing to ask for Yuchuan and her family.

As for Qingwen, if the rogue does such a thing, he will at least have to wait until she is kicked out of the house.

;. And, unlike what was expected, Jin Chuan did not wait until Xiang Ling gave birth to ask for it as originally planned.

After Lady Wang drove people away, Jin Chuan and the entire Bai family were no longer as loyal to the Rong Mansion and Lady Wang as before.

Ever since Jia Baoyu tricked Lin Daiyu into seeing the West Chamber, he has been hoping to plant more spies in the Rong Mansion.

Although Yuchuan was not in the garden, she followed Mrs. Wang and had some inside information.

After all, the Lai family and the Wang family do not belong to the same camp, so the more channels of information the better.

Even, there may be other benefits in the future...

He nodded to Lai Da and said, "Okay! You guys are thoughtful!"

Although these words were no different from Lady Jia's previous praise, the attitude shown by Mr. and Mrs. Lai was completely different.

He nodded and bowed hurriedly.

Zhang Yunyi waited until they calmed down a bit before saying to Qingwen, "Then you can rest assured and follow me from now on!"

Although Lady Jia used Xiangling as a cover, he did not intend to send Qingwen to Xiangling just as Jinchuan did.

"Yes, sir!" Qingwen bowed and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This was a completely different feeling from Jia Baoyu's. Before Zhang Yunyi said this, she had no idea of ​​his attitude towards her.

Although she felt a little resistant to being sent around like cargo, she could not accept being turned away after being so humble.

Zhang Yunyi did not notice that Qingwen felt relieved. He took the indenture handed over by Lai Da and was about to serve tea to see the guest off, but he saw Lai Da winking at him, as if he had something to say.

Then he calmly shouted outside, "Sister-in-law, please send Qingwen to my room first and arrange for her to live downstairs first."

Qingwen was secretly shocked when she heard this. Youshi led her and Lai Da and his wife into the side hall and left on her own. She never thought that she would be waiting outside the door.

Although she had heard about who the Ning family depended on for survival, she was still frightened when she saw with her own eyes Zhang Yunyi ordering Youshi around.

Lai Da waited until Qingwen and Youshi left before he said, "Qingwen was here before, and I had something to say that I didn't tell you in detail..."

He then told the old lady the truth that the Peach Blossom Evil could not be suppressed but could only be transferred, and he kept it a secret: "With this explanation, the old lady will feel guilty in the future..."

Zhang Yunyi looked at Lai Da again with interest.

This was because he saw that there was something fishy going on in Rong Mansion, so he helped to prepare for a rainy day and found an excuse in advance to shut Lady Jia's mouth!

But he said without comment: "I know!"

He had a good idea indeed.

Although Lai Da was still unaware that he had already captured the two ladies of the Rong Mansion, when Aunt Zhao heard Zhang Yunyi's message, she begged him to bring them into the garden, which was enough to make him suspicious.

Although she didn't try to make up her face, she was still flirting along the way, which was seen by Lai Da.

Besides, it was Zhang Yun逸 who planned Jin Chuan's suicide by jumping into the river, and Jia Huan was the first to complain to Jia Zheng. If someone says there is no connection between them, Lai Da would not believe it even if he was beaten to death.

He thought that Zhang Yun逸 had no reason to side with Jia Huan and deal with Jia Baoyu.

After all, considering identity, status, image and other aspects, even Tanchun's marriage should be inclined towards Wang Fu-ren, her biological mother.

Only Aunt Zhao herself is a variable.

Therefore, the only explanation is that he could not resist Aunt Zhao's constant nagging.

Otherwise, just by having a slight relationship with Zhang Yun逸, bringing Aunt Zhao into the garden would have been considered giving her enough face.

How could he help Jia Huan and hide the fact that he had complained to Jia Zheng?

Chapter 251: Small Twists and Turns

"uncle!"

As soon as Zhang Yun逸 stepped into the Dengxian Pavilion, Ruizhu and Qingwen inside hurriedly bowed.

Third Sister You, who was sitting in the middle of the room, turned away from looking at Qingwen and trotted over to help him take off his official uniform while smiling, "Brother-in-law!"

Zhang Yunyi pressed his palm to his forehead unconsciously. He had forgotten that Third Sister Yu's class was scheduled today.

No wonder Youshi didn't stay and wait for him.

After raising Xiangling's status, he also chose a date to marry the sisters of the You family.

Although Third Sister You said that it didn't matter, when the time came, her body was very honest.

However, it is difficult to change one's nature, and even after becoming a concubine, she still couldn't get rid of her original character.

He is showing his kindness for no reason, so I guess he has his eyes on something again.

Seeing Zhang Yunyi looking like he had a headache, Ruizhu quickly complained, "Aunt You San, please stop calling me like that. If people hear you, they will misunderstand you!"

"Who misunderstood?" Third Sister You seemed to have been stepped on. "Did I shout wrongly? How would you know? The more I shouted..."

"Hmm..." Zhang Yunyi coughed and said unhappily, "Tell me! What do you fancy now?"

Third Sister You threw the official uniform she had just taken off into Ruizhu's arms, then jumped behind Qingwen, held down the bewildered Qingwen with both hands, and said with a smile, "That's her! I like this maid sent from the West Mansion very much. She doesn't have a personal maid yet, so please give her to me, brother-in-law!"

At the end of her speech, her voice gradually changed, she spoke with a hint of coquettishness, pouted her lips, and winked at Zhang Yunyi.

Qingwen's shoulders trembled as they were held down.

I couldn't help but feel sorry for myself: I was still being sent here and there...

But just as the thought came to his mind, Zhang Yunyi, who had never shown his emotions, suddenly said in a deep voice: "Qingwen can't do that!"

His tone was firm and unquestionable. Qingwen couldn't help but be startled and secretly looked up.

Although she had only met him twice and had no feelings for Zhang Yunyi, she was still somewhat happy to hear him reject Third Sister Yu, and her pair of dark eyes glanced at him.

However, before she had time to be happy, Third Sister You shook her shoulders coquettishly and said, "Brother-in-law!~ Why can't it be possible? Even if she follows someone else, it doesn't mean you can't have a room..."

At this point, Third Sister You paused, then said in a rhythmic tone: "You have always wanted me to be with you! ~ I have to get used to it first, so let this girl serve my brother-in-law with me first, and then we can do it step by step, okay?"

Even though Qingwen had been mentally prepared after being reminded by Mr. and Mrs. Lai, she still couldn't help blushing when she heard Third Sister You speak so frankly. She glanced at Zhang Yunyi and stopped her gaze on his chest, not daring to move it up.

Zhang Yunyi was also preoccupied with the lawsuit. In front of Qingwen who had just walked in, Third Sister You revealed all his private matters, and he felt somewhat embarrassed.

He shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about! I will never change what I have said. If you want a personal maid, I will find one for you later."

Third Sister You pouted and muttered, "Men's words are deceiving! When we were at the hot spring, he said that he would let me choose everything first, but now that he sees this pretty maid, he can't bear to let her go!"

"Alright!" Zhang Yunyi frowned, "You can take a rest today and call my second sister over!"

Third Sister You was quite upset because she had made such a fuss, but since she could see that he looked unhappy, she didn't dare to provoke him again.

However, before leaving, he said angrily: "Go and call whoever you want to call. I won't help you call anyone!"

It was obvious that her words were harsh but she was actually weak. As soon as she finished speaking, she ran away without a trace.

Ruizhu glanced at Qingwen, then at Zhang Yunyi, and asked tentatively, "Master? Do you want me to call Aunt You?"

"Yeah!" Zhang Yunyi nodded slightly.

Only then did Ruizhu leave Dengxian Pavilion.

After what happened just now, Qingwen couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, and said insincerely: "Master...you don't have to do this for me..."

Zhang Yunyi waved his hand and said, "It's not all for you. You've seen it too. Third Sister is just like that, and you're outspoken. If you get together and argue with each other, it's inevitable that there will be conflicts over time, and then both of you will feel uncomfortable."

In fact, when Third Sister You talked about how both the master and the servant could gain something and how things would proceed step by step, he was quite moved.

However, on the one hand, he didn't want to be controlled by Third Sister You, and on the other hand, Qingwen had just entered the mansion, and he felt a little embarrassed to expose her true nature like this.

Of course, the most important thing is what he just said, that these two people have similar personalities.

However, he concealed another worry.

Third Sister You is a bit eccentric, and Qingwen is not someone who will always obey her.

Birds of a feather flock together. If the two of them get together for a long time, I'm afraid Qingwen will be led astray.

Having only Sister Yu San is already a headache, and if there is another one, won’t there be chaos everywhere?

What he said was half true and half false, but the good thing about it was that he didn't pull anyone down and seemed quite honest.

This is completely different from how Qingwen feels about Jia Baoyu.

It is true that Jia Baoyu loves to be close to girls, but it varies from person to person, and he forgets about his younger sister when he has an older sister.

There is no need to talk much about Third Sister You's appearance. Even though Qingwen has a high opinion of herself, she does not think she is better than Third Sister You.

If it were Jia Baoyu, he would have been completely bewildered by Yu Sanjie's coquettish and cute behavior.

Even if they don't agree on the spot, at most they will just symbolically ask about your opinion and agree half-heartedly.

However, Zhang Yun逸 was not only unmoved, but also able to analyze the character and consider everything comprehensively.

She looked at Zhang Yunyi with awe in her eyes.

Zhang Yunyi saw the change and said while the iron was hot: "This is also my fault. Last time, I praised your excellent needlework skills to Butler Lai, but I didn't expect him to remember it. You have to bear this stigma for nothing and be kicked out of the West Mansion."

He paused for a moment, then said in a resolute voice, "But don't worry. Since it's my fault, I won't let you suffer any injustice. Just follow me. I've said this before when Xiangling came to my house, and I'll say it again. Since you follow me, you belong to me. Don't even think about sending me back and forth. Even if the king of heaven comes to take you away, I will never send you away!"

"Yes, sir!" Qingwen bowed deeply.

Having just come here, she couldn't help feeling unsure.

With what happened to Third Sister You just now, Zhang Yunyi's words were undoubtedly more convincing.

As they were talking, You Erjie and Ruizhu walked in.

Seeing Qingwen's graceful figure, You Erjie hurried over, looked around her, and exclaimed, "This girl is really pretty. No wonder I like her so much!"

As she spoke, she bowed slightly to Zhang Yunyi and asked tentatively, "She just came into the mansion today. How about I go back first?"

Zhang Yunyi waved his hand and said, "She just entered the mansion today, so she must be uneasy. When she is calm, it won't be too late to sleep with her again."

As he spoke, he turned to Qingwen and said, "It's late tonight, so you should go to bed early. I remember that you are an excellent needleworker. Come and measure me tomorrow. I have a pattern here. You can make two sets when you have time."

After hearing this, Qingwen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
