The Red Mansion Big Liar

"Daddy checks my pulse every morning, noon, and night, even more punctually than when he eats. How can there be anything wrong with that?"

She twisted in Zhang Yunyi's arms rather affectionately, and placed her hand on the back of his hand, looking down at her bulging belly, and said, "This little guy is moving more and more vigorously. Daddy said that judging from the pulse, it's a boy!"

Having seen Zhen Shiyin's medical skills, he naturally would not doubt that his judgment was wrong.

He smiled and said, "Have you thought of a name, sir?"

Since it was agreed that the Zhen family would inherit the family line, Zhang Yunyi simply left the naming to Zhen Shiyin.

Xiang Ling hesitated for a moment, turned her head and looked at him and said, "Daddy said that Master might have been away from his soul for too long, and his energy is deficient. Although it does not affect his body and he can recover after three to five years of rest, it affects his offspring. Now that I have taken care of Master, he will definitely have many children in the future. This time, either..."

"It's already been agreed upon, so there's no need to change it. If the master hasn't made up his mind yet, why not just call him Chengsi?"

Zhen Shiyin also said this to him.

Zhang Yun逸 was a little surprised at first. It was okay with Youshi, but Qin Keqing, You Erjie and others did not take any precautions.

But pollination continues, but no fruit is produced.

After hearing what Zhen Shiyin said, he suddenly realized that it was probably the sequelae of time travel.

However, although the sequelae can be recovered in advance, he does not have the final say on whether the baby is a boy or a girl.

As the saying goes, if the East is dark, the West will be bright. He must have many wives and concubines, and he will never lack sons. But even if Xiangling gets pregnant again in the future, it may not be a boy.

"Hey! Master and Dad have the same idea."

Xiangling pushed open Zhang Yunyi's arms and took out a piece of paper from the drawer.

Zhang Yunyi took it and looked at it. There were quite a few names listed, but the first one was Chengsi.

The meaning of this name is self-evident.

Zhang Yunyi smiled secretly. Zhen Shiyin spoke beautifully, but he was very honest when it came to doing things.

As they were talking, Zhen Shiyin and Feng Shi also walked in.

Xiangling quickly told the two of them what had just happened, as if she were presenting a treasure.

Zhen Shiyin and Feng Shi couldn't help but express their gratitude profusely and decided on the child's name immediately.

Afterwards, Zhen Shiyin felt Xiangling's pulse again, and then said to Feng, "You and Jinchuan accompany Ling'er outside for a while, while I have something to talk to my nephew."

Because it was inconvenient to call her by her own name all the time, and every time they called her Yinglian's name, they couldn't help thinking that she had been abducted, so Zhen Shiyin and Feng simply changed their way of calling her.

After the three of them left, Zhen Shiyin said solemnly, "I went to see him that day. The medicines that Master Zhen used were all those that I repeatedly told Rong'er to avoid..."

Zhang Yunyi sighed, "Alas! What misfortune for our family! He also admitted it in front of the two uncles from the West Mansion that day."

He then changed the subject and said, "However, he is the only descendant of my uncle's family now. The Jia family themselves do not want to investigate, so how can I bear to let his family die out!"

Zhen Shiyin shook his head and said, "Since the Jia family has said so, let's not talk about it! However, this kid is not a good guy, you have to be careful in the future."

"Yes!" Zhang Yunyi nodded and changed the subject, "I heard from Xiangling that Miss Lin's illness can be cured. Her mother and my mother are close friends. I am sorry to trouble you, sir."

Zhen Shiyin said with emotion: "That's not true! Ling'er has been separated for many years, and I have not fulfilled my responsibilities as a father in these years. Miss Lin is willing to teach her poetry, so I can help repay her kindness and make up for some regrets!"

Zhang Yunyi did not understand pharmacology and only asked roughly about the condition and treatment time.

When Xiangling and the other two came back, it was already time for dinner. He and Zhen Shiyin had two more drinks before going their separate ways.

When Zhang Yunyi returned to Dengxian Pavilion, he found that Youshi, who was dressed in plain clothes and had a white pearl flower on her head, was already sitting downstairs waiting for him.

?! Seeing Zhang Yunyi coming back, she stood up and greeted him rather stiffly.

Zhang Yunyi glanced at the gift list in front of her, then looked at Qingwen in the room, and said, "It's just right. I haven't seen Keqing these few days. Sister-in-law has something to say. Let's go across the street and talk!"

He turned to Qingwen and said, "Go to bed early tonight. Master will sleep over there tonight!"

Since Baozhu and Ruizhu have already laid the groundwork, there is no need for him to hide his relationship with Qin Keqing in front of Qingwen.

After entering Tianxiang Tower, he went straight upstairs.

Seeing that Youshi was still holding the gift list in her hand, Qin Keqing greeted the two of them while asking Baozhu to make tea.

I thought Qingwen's presence would make Youshi feel quite restrained, but I didn't expect that even in Tianxiang Tower, she was still so cautious.

Standing beside Zhang Yunyi with great respect, he handed over the gift list with both hands and said, "This is the gift list sent by each family. Please take a look, Brother Yi!"

"Sister-in-law knows the list of gifts for the funeral, or you can show it to Rong Ge'er. Why do you want me to review it?"

"You paid for the funeral, and a lot of it was from your friendship... You should..."

Jia Rong was obviously responsible for Jia Zhen's death, but he was not only fearless, but also, with the tacit approval of Zhang Yun逸, he divided the concubines in Jia Zhen's room with Jia Lian.

Combined with Jia Zhen’s previous actions and the fact that Zhang Yun逸 took away Jia Rong’s job.

During this period, she gradually sensed something was going on and couldn't help but worry about being implicated by Jia Zhen.

However, before she could finish her words, Zhang Yunyi pulled her into his arms and threw the gift list she was holding away.

"Brother Zhen is gone now, why is my sister-in-law estranged from me?"

He laid Youshi horizontally on his legs, with her legs spread apart, and supported her back and legs, leaving only her huge peach exposed.

At the same time, he reached down and grasped it, kneading it wantonly, while smiling playfully, "If it weren't for elder brother Zhen's help, Yun Yi wouldn't know how long he would have to wait before he could have a kiss with his sister-in-law. Although he is gone, he knows about it in the afterlife, so we can't let him down. It just so happens that today is his seventh day, so we don't need to do anything fancy, just make him happy!"

Even though Youshi was used to playing pranks with him, she still felt ashamed after hearing these words.

When Qin Keqing, who was standing by, heard this, the corners of her mouth slightly raised and a different look flashed in her eyes.

She turned her head quickly and winked at Baozhu, then she dropped the unbrewed tea, closed the door and left.

Fang walked in front of the two of them, bent down, grabbed You's hands, bit her lower lip, and said in a pretentious tone: "Mother-in-law! We only have uncle to rely on now. You don't want to be alone in the future, do you?"

Chapter 266: Gossip Afterwards

The clouds collect and the rain stops.

Zhang Yun逸 was surrounded by women on both sides.

Maybe she was too crazy, You's hair was disheveled, and the white pearl flower on her head had fallen somewhere long ago.

Qin Keqing suddenly broke free from Zhang Yunyi's arms and knelt in front of the two men like a dog.

She looked at Youshi with a mischievous look on her face and said jokingly, "Mother-in-law, don't forget. On the seventh day of the lunar year or the anniversary of the birth of a child, you must pray to your uncle! I'll think of some words later, and you can just recite them when the time comes!"

"Snapped!"

Zhang Yunyi slapped Qin Keqing on her raised buttocks, and with his other arm he held Youshi in his arms, comforting her: "Don't worry, sister-in-law! No matter what happens, you are still the head of this mansion, and everything will be fine as usual."

After hearing this, You Shi felt relieved. She put her face on Zhang Yunyi's chest and rubbed it twice before panting and saying, "No matter what, even if I move out in a few days, Yunyi, I just hope you don't abandon me."

"Sister-in-law, don't let your imagination run wild. Even though you have reached the end of your title in this mansion, I am still here! Just stay here and I will take care of the rest."

What Youshi was most worried about was moving out of Ningguo Mansion. As long as the mansion was still there, everything could remain the same.

But if the court took back the mansion, she would be Jia Zhen's widow and would be a widow again.

In any case, it’s not a good idea to move in with Zhang Yunyi.

Jia Rong was an ambitious man who even dared to murder Jia Zhen. Although Zhang Yun逸 might have acquiesced in this, his cruelty also chilled Youshi's heart.

When I heard that there was still hope for the better, I had no time to think about anything else.

This time she learned it all by herself and didn't need any guidance from Qin Keqing. She actually said some crazy things that even Qin Keqing couldn't help but be amazed.

Under her constant persuasion, Zhang Yunyi finally let out all his secrets.

He patted Youshi's bowed head rhythmically, and told her everything, including presenting the bulk of the bird droppings business to the emperor.

When he was satisfied, Fang said in a deep voice: "Sister-in-law, you should be relieved now, right? The timing of their death is just right. Even if the emperor didn't expect it, I would ask for permission to take this house."

Yu Shi raised her head, swallowed, and then asked hesitantly, "What about Jia Rong?"

"Rong'er's yard will be kept for him for the time being."

Zhang Yunyi helped her wipe the corners of her lips, and Fang changed the subject and said, "However, it's just a nominal reservation, and he should still be asked to move out."

He pointed to the gift list that he had thrown away before, and said with a double meaning, "This is what he deserves. I'll give it to him later and ask him to buy a house outside. It's a good opportunity to take those concubines in Brother Zhen's room out as well, so that they won't be an eyesore in the mansion!"

Only by reserving the courtyard for Jia Rong could Youshi stay with a legitimate reason, so she naturally would not object.

As for Qin Keqing, she didn't really have much resentment towards Jia Rong.

Firstly, knowing that Jia Zhen died at his hands and that Jia Jing's death was indirectly caused by him, it could be considered as revenge through him.

Secondly, if he had not been so timid and afraid to consummate the marriage, he would not have been able to keep his innocence and wait for Zhang Yunyi to rescue him.

Plus with the factor of Mrs. You involved, they were too lazy to haggle over every penny.

However, although he was too lazy to argue with Jia Rong, he was unwilling to give up the opportunity to tease Zhang Yun逸.

"Uncle left the yard for him because he was worried that without the Jia family in the mansion, Second Aunt would have no excuse to come over in the future, right?"

Qin Keqing's words were not wrong. Without the relationship with Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, Zhang Yun逸 was at most a relative of the Rongguo Mansion.

With this relationship, Grandmother Jia was able to cover up her crime.

Otherwise, even if she wanted to make things convenient for Zhang Yunyi, it would not be appropriate for her to open the door of her backyard to someone else's house.

Wang Xifeng moved into the Linshui Pavilion, and Zhang Yunyi had been going there frequently in the past few days. Qingwen had not been there for long and did not notice anything strange.

However, he could not hide the fact that there was someone by Zhang Yun逸’s side, Qin Keqing, who had fought alongside You Erjie.

If you pay a little attention and consider the length of time he stayed there, how could you not know what's going on?

Since Zhang Yunyi had arranged for her to live in the garden, he did not intend to hide it. He hugged Qin Keqing and said with a smile: "What? Are you jealous?"

"Keqing has always been on good terms with Second Aunt, and I am so happy for her, how could I be jealous?"

At first, Youshi thought she had misheard, but after listening to the conversation between the two, she was sure that she had not heard wrong.

He was speechless and said, "Even...Even Feng girl..."

At this point, she suddenly realized, "No wonder you let her get the bird droppings business for free!"

"That's not the case. It didn't happen that long ago! The guano business was decided years ago, and at that time, we also considered the need for the Wang family's fleet."

Although he had his eyes on Wang Xifeng many times, his bird droppings business was indeed just based on the actual situation.

Qin Keqing's focus was not here. She looked at Youshi with burning eyes and asked with a gossipy look on her face, "What do you mean? Mother-in-law, tell me quickly, who else is there?"

"Who else could it be? Isn't it the widowed grandmother of the West Mansion?"

Speaking of Youshi, he couldn't help but complain: "You don't know, it's true, the real person never reveals his true face..."

The two women seemed to have forgotten about Zhang Yunyi. They were in high spirits and were talking to each other, sharing what they had and informing each other of the inside information they knew.

"I didn't expect that such a strong person like Feng girl would actually have this day..." Youshi couldn't help but sigh.

"Uncle has kept this a secret from us. You know that Keqing has always been very close to Second Aunt. Now they are like sisters. Why are you still hiding this from us? Why don't you let us be honest with each other earlier?"

Qin Keqing narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Uncle must have suffered a lot to win over Second Aunt, right?"

Yu Shi also chimed in with a gossipy look on her face, "That Li Wan usually keeps a low profile, yet she seems to have no food to eat, let alone Feng girl?"

As she spoke, she looked puzzled: "I'm surprised! She was so defensive against Lian Er, but why was she the one who was..."

The two of them talked one after another, throwing out a series of questions.

Although they were all family members, it was inappropriate to comment on each other behind their backs. Zhang Yunyi could only joke, "That was all history. Ever since Jia Lian came back from the south and didn't come back all night, the two of them fell out!"

"Could it be that the bird droppings business made her a fortune, but she is still not satisfied and wants more, and wants to have a full stomach?"

Yu Shi was often ridiculed by Wang Xifeng, who was also merciless when commenting on her.

When she asked this, Qin Keqing looked at Zhang Yunyi with curiosity.

Knowing that he could not fool people this time, Zhang Yunyi had to recount the series of events that happened after Jia Lian came back, as well as what he asked for afterwards.

He only briefly mentioned that he directed and acted in the play, and gave the credit of directing the play to Jia Lian.

After saying this, he spread his hands and said, "I had no choice. Lian Er was desperate and tried all kinds of treatments. If I didn't agree, I'm afraid he would take risks and might not drug my second sister-in-law."

"I was wondering why Lian Er lived in the front yard, but when he came to the old lady and the mistress, he said he also lived in the garden."

Even though the two of them had already thought of countless possibilities, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded when they heard such a secret.

Yu's expression was truly amazing. She said in amazement, "I thought he was worried that the old lady and the others would find out about his affair with Jia Rong, so he lied and said he was living in the garden. It turns out that he was just making things convenient for you..."

"Then uncle, why are you still hesitating? Ask Second Aunt to find an excuse to stay at my place for two days..."
