The Red Mansion Big Liar

As Qingwen walked around Jinchuan and headed for her room, she said, "Butler Lai sent me here last night."

The two of them belonged to the Wang family and the old servant family respectively in the Rong Mansion, and they did not have much friendship.

I thought that if I said hello, Jin Chuan would stop bothering me.

Unexpectedly, he not only chased me into the house, but also pursed his lips and looked me up and down.

After watching for a while, Jin Chuan seemed to be relieved and said with a smile: "It is a blessing for you to be able to come and follow me."

After she finished speaking, she paused, and then said meaningfully: "It will also prevent someone from targeting you in the future, or from kicking you out if someone dislikes you."

The three words "drive out" just hit Qingwen's sore spot.

Although it was announced to the outside world that Zhang Yunyi was short of people, Lai Da did not hide the truth from her. Just because of the fictitious Peach Blossom Evil, she was abandoned.

She couldn't help but choke: "What do you mean!"

Jin Chuan didn't seem to notice her dissatisfaction, and sneered, "What else could it mean? If someone really has this idea, no matter who it is, Master Bao can't protect you!"

After she said this, Qingwen lowered her head unconsciously.

When Mrs. Wang ordered her to go back to her room to pack up, Jia Baoyu was still crying and wailing, but after she had packed up and came out, and until she followed Mrs. Wang and left the Yihong Courtyard, there was no more sound from him.

"I'm just a maid. I serve wherever I go and I just follow orders. Why do I need someone to protect me?"

"It's best if you think so!"

Jin Chuan paused for a moment, then said with a playful look, "But seeing how you look, I think the master didn't ask you to come in and serve him yesterday, did he?"

"What...what does this have to do with you?"

Although her words were very dismissive, her tone was somewhat timid, and at the end there was even a hint of inquiry in her words.

Jin Chuan smiled and said, "You have left that place now, so we can be considered as sharing the same fate. I just want to remind you kindly, don't be so blind as to not recognize the value of a precious gem and go after a heartless person!"

The more she spoke, the more indignant she became. She gnashed her teeth and said, "That day, when the Second Madam was still asleep, he saw that I was refusing in every possible way, so he lied to me and said that he would take me back when I woke up. But when the Second Madam wanted to kick me out of the house, he didn't even dare to fart and had already disappeared! Even when Yuchuan went to beg him, he was indifferent. If it weren't for the Master's rescue, not only would I be dead, but even my family would be in trouble!"

Jin Chuan did not feel much resentment towards Mrs. Wang who drove her out of the house.

After all, when she interacted with Aunt Zhao, including instigating Jia Baoyu to go to the East Courtyard, she did have selfish motives.

As Mrs. Wang's personal maid, although this could not be considered betrayal, it was understandable that she was punished.

But he was filled with resentment towards Jia Baoyu, the instigator of the break-of-trust.

Even though she had anticipated this, when Yuchuan returned home from Rong Mansion in a dejected mood, she still found it difficult to suppress the resentment in her heart.

Qingwen had also heard about Jin Chuan's experience, and she had expressed her dissatisfaction with Jia Baoyu's behavior.

However, her situation was different from Jin Chuan's, and she could not fully empathize with her. When faced with her personal experience, she did not know how to respond for a moment.

Just when he was in a dilemma, he heard Ruizhu's voice coming from outside: "Hey! Jinchuan is on duty today, why hasn't she come yet?"

After hearing this, Jin Chuan no longer cared about her and hurriedly slammed the door and shouted, "I'm here! I'm here! I just saw Qingwen and chatted with her for a while. Is the master back?"

"It's almost time! The water has been drawn. Go up and test the temperature!"

Jin Chuan, who had been speaking with resentment just now, seemed to have changed her mind at this moment, and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you! Thank you!"

"No way! Xiangling is getting worse now. You need to take care of her more often. It's rare to have the chance."

Although Xiangling was promoted to concubine, Baozhu and Ruizhu had a special relationship with her, so they still called her by her original title.

"Then I'll go up first! Aunt Zhen said last night that the clothes my sister made for my brother were very beautiful!"

Qingwen was confused when she heard the friendly chatter outside about opportunities and water temperature.

However, she had no intention of snooping, so she placed the material on the table and took out the scissors and needle and thread.

However, before she could start cutting, the intense and almost tragic noise from last night rang out again.

Different from the 'squeaking' sound last night, this time it was accompanied by the sound of the waves, which made her face turn red. How could she have the mind to cut?

Chapter 254 Two Maids Go to Dafen (Part )

It’s not that Zhang Yunyi had to show off in front of Qingwen, it’s just that she entered the mansion suddenly.

As the head maidservant serving Lady Wang, Jin Chuan had to serve her in bathing, changing clothes, eating and sleeping.

Just like Xiangling and Aunt Xue, Zhang Yunyi couldn't help but have some thoughts.

While Zhen Shiyin was checking Xiangling's pulse, he summoned her to help him take a bath.

Jin Chuan was driven out of the house by Lady Wang, which was tantamount to being thrown down to the mortal world and also made her face the reality.

As Lady Wang's maid, she was naturally well-versed in the ways of the world, but she had never experienced such an experience before, so she couldn't help but act a little reserved.

Now, being rescued by Zhang Yun逸 and with the entire family's honor at stake, he lowered his posture. Knowing that Baozhu and Ruizhu were the elders in front of Zhang Yun逸, he behaved extremely humbly.

Baozhu and Ruizhu already had a bad impression of the Jia family, and since Jinchuan's experience was somewhat similar to Qin Keqing's, they couldn't help but empathize with her.

Not only did they not exclude her as an outsider, they also took special care of her and assigned her shifts.

However, at Jinchuan's repeated request, the night shift was cancelled, leaving only the morning bathing service.

She was already a knowledgable person, so she inevitably cherished the time she was served. Seeing that she was sensible and modest, Zhang Yunyi specially practiced with her when she came to serve him as compensation.

After a while, it became a routine.

Although there is another Qingwen in the room today, we cannot treat the other one badly because of one, so Zhang Yun逸 did not deprive Jinchuan of her money.

Although Jin Chuan's ability to integrate so quickly was partly due to her attitude, it was mainly due to her experience.

But Qingwen used the excuse that there was no one to serve Zhang Yun逸. However, both Zhang Yun逸 and herself felt that Taohuasha had a bad reputation and never mentioned it.

In addition, due to her proud and arrogant personality, she was unwilling to force herself into the social circle, so she was unable to integrate into the Huifangyuan circle for a long time.

That day, Baozhu and Ruizhu had nothing to do, so they sat on the doorstep and started muttering to each other.

"What do you mean? We have nothing to do with each other, but the old lady from the West Mansion doesn't even care about herself, but she's taking care of us instead!"

"Okay! You'd better say less, so as not to say something slick and show off in front of outsiders!"

"What can't be said? I'm not wrong! No matter how powerful they were, our master never took advantage of them. On the contrary, he took care of their business and ginseng. Even the eldest girl's marriage was an honor that was obtained with the help of our master."

Baozhu became more and more angry as she spoke, and questioned, "What about them? The second master is old, working in the Ministry of Works for nothing, and people don't even take him for money, yet he still has the nerve to turn his face to me!"

There was no need for Zhang Yun逸 to publicize it, because You Shi was at the scene at the time, and after she came back, she couldn't help but speak up for Zhang Yun逸.

Her voice became louder and louder, and it reached Qingwen's ears.

This view sounded particularly rare to her. In the Rong Mansion, when people mentioned Jia Zheng, most of them would label him as a strict father, a gentleman, or as the opposite of Jia She.

Few people find fault with him.

However, people will die if they are compared with others, and goods will be lost if they are compared with others. He may be a little better than Jia She.

But in the eyes of Baozhu and others, he became useless.

Even the integrity that he was proud of has become a mere figurehead with no sense of existence.

After hearing what Baozhu said, Qingwen couldn't help but think about it secretly.

To be honest, learning that Jia Zheng and his son were fighting over a maid and that the fight even got to the point of violence did refresh Qingwen's perception.

She listened attentively and had some strange ideas, but Ruizhu outside advised: "Okay! The master knows what's going on, there's no need for us to say anything."

"Those things are fine, but what does she mean by there is no one to serve the master? We don't serve him well, and I don't think the people she sent are very useful. They stay in the house all day long. I don't think they are here to serve, but to keep an eye on him or enjoy himself! It's so annoying..."

"Stop talking!" Ruizhu glanced at the room and shouted, "Master gave her the job to do, so she should hurry up to work. How come you think she's lazy when you say so?"

Baozhu knew she had said something wrong, but she refused to admit defeat: "If she was sent here just to make some clothes for me, why did she have to be sent here?"

She wasn't targeting Qingwen entirely, but Qingwen was different from Jinchuan.

Firstly, he almost lost his life, and secondly, he and Xiangling lived in a pavilion on the mountainside, not nearby.

The sudden presence of someone like her, who is not part of the circle, in Dengxian Pavilion had little impact on people like You Erjie and You Sanjie, who already had a reputation and a position.

However, it caused many inconveniences for Qin Keqing and Youshi.

Baozhu was mainly expressing dissatisfaction on behalf of Qin Keqing, but it was inevitable that innocent people would be affected.

However, Qingwen in the room did not understand the trick. She had a hot temper and would not listen to any such arrangement.

He immediately put down the sewing basket in his hand, pushed the door open and walked out, saying, "Don't be so ungrateful! The master didn't ask me to serve in the room, and I didn't want to compete with you. Why do you think I was deliberately lazy?"

Although she was very angry, she did not lose her mind. She knew that Ruizhu did not blame her, so she distinguished the two of them.

Baozhu was not one to keep quiet, and she said, "Oh! You also know that we got an advantage? Then tell me, what advantage did we get? Or I can share this advantage with you, how about that?"

"You..." Qingwen couldn't help but feel angry.

Serving in the house is also a reflection of a maid's status.

However, when it came out of Baozhu's mouth, it implied a different meaning.

"What? Are you exposed already?" Baozhu was unyielding and sneered, "Are you still hoping to go back someday and serve that second-generation rich kid?"

"What are you talking about!" Qingwen raised her right hand, held up three fingers, and swore, "Whoever has such thoughts will die miserably!"

"Okay! Okay! It's not the first day we've met. How could Qingwen be that kind of person?"

Ruizhu quickly held Qingwen's hand and tried to smooth things over.

Baozhu still insisted, "Oh! That's just self-righteousness!"

"Since you insist on saying so, I am too lazy to explain."

Qingwen gritted her teeth and said, "My master is in the government office on weekdays. I won't delay the work when he goes to the government office. I will also take part in the work in the house from now on. Don't say you want to take your job when the time comes!"

"Don't use the West Mansion's tricks on us! Don't say that I'm not like the men over there. If we were really that petty, how could we tolerate Jin Chuan?"

"Alright! Alright!" Ruizhu acted as a peacemaker again, "We are all my people. Now that we have talked it out, Qingwen will be responsible for the work in the house from now on. You will be responsible for helping me change my clothes and make the bed in the morning. I will ask you about the rest later!"

"Okay!" Qingwen nodded and turned back to her room.

When she closed the door, Ruizhu pulled Baozhu and ran to the Tianxiang Building opposite, and said hesitantly, "Is this really okay?"

"It's better than dragging it out like this!" Baozhu said confidently, "You know what I'm capable of. Even if she's a piece of pig iron, I can melt her!"

As she spoke, she glanced upstairs and said, "You didn't see it. The master came out from this side the other morning and she happened to see it. There was something wrong with her eyes! Although the young lady doesn't care about these things, she can't belittled. Now that she is an outsider, it's better to keep it a secret. When the master takes her in, there will be nothing to hide."

Chapter 255 Two Maids Go to Dafen (Part )

"Uncle, what do you see?"

That night, while Zhang Yunyi was having dinner, Ruizhu handed over a new schedule and reported the arrangements for Qingwen.

Unlike in the morning, she did not ask for any instructions, but made arrangements directly and handed it over to Zhang Yunyi.

Zhang Yunyi just asked casually: "Qingwen knows, right?"

After getting Ruizhu's confirmation, he nodded and approved of her arrangement.

He had no intention of pretending.

However, Qingwen's character was such that she would rather break than bend, and she was deceived by Lai Da.

Zhang Yunyi was worried that she would not be able to adapt to the situation immediately, so he left it alone for a while, intending to proceed step by step.

Since she has no objection, what reason do I have to refuse?

After dinner, he said to Ruizhu, "I won't practice boxing tonight. I'll go to Xiangling first and come back in half an hour. I'll take a bath later when I'm done!"

Although bathing together with his wife has its own fun aspects, it is not something that can be done every time. Recently, he feels a little annoyed every time Jin Chuan helps him bathe.

In addition, it was Qingwen's first time, so there would be no need to change the scene midway and have to change everything inside and out.

Arriving at the pavilion on the hillside, he listened for a while for the fetus to move before saying to Xiangling, "The other day I went to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and Miss Lin said that you are not feeling well now, so it's not good to worry too much. You can learn poetry after you finish your confinement."

Xiangling was obsessed with reading poetry. She lost all sense of propriety and often stayed up until late at night.

Zhang Yun逸 discovered something and ordered her not to look anymore.

"Hey! Miss Lin, I'm sorry for the trouble!"
