The Red Mansion Big Liar

Besides, those words were only from Zhang Yunyi's family, so she couldn't help but think too much.

But before she could say anything, Zhang Yunyi half-pushed and half-pushed her to the door. She subconsciously reached out her hand, but couldn't open the door. The slightest doubt she had had disappeared.

She felt ashamed, guilty and grateful at the same time.

He yelled to the outside of the door: "Siqi! Hurry up and open the door!"

The two of them had been talking very close to each other, so their voices were not loud to begin with. Si Qi did not dare to get closer, but she had no idea what was going on inside.

Thinking that Zhang Yun逸 had bad intentions, Yingchun fled in a hurry.

She quickly whispered inside: "Miss, don't blame me, it's all Madam's fault! Don't make a fuss, if you attract others, it's no joke!"

Yingchun felt her body soften and she leaned into Zhang Yunyi's arms again. She felt the heat on her back and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Just as he was about to accept his fate, Zhang Yunyi unexpectedly spoke up and shouted, “Open the door!”

Siqi outside heard Yingchun's cry for help and thought that Zhang Yunyi was already under the effect of the drugs and was ready to go. Suddenly she heard his voice and was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

But before she could react, she suddenly heard someone behind her shouting, "What's going on? Who's locked up in there?"

Hearing this scolding, she was immediately startled, her face turned pale with fear, she turned around tremblingly, and said in a trembling voice: "Lai...Auntie Lai..."

As a member of the Rong family, he was naturally familiar with Lai Dajie's voice.

However, even though she was mentally prepared, she still couldn't help but tremble with fear when she really confirmed that it was Lai Dajia.

The same was true for Yingchun in the room.

It was already inappropriate to be alone in a room with Zhang Yunyi late at night. If everyone found out that he was drugged, she would not live.

Just when she was feeling hopeless, Zhang Yunyi's voice rang in her ears again: "Luckily it was her. I helped her son. Second sister, just go back without worry. I will definitely not let her talk nonsense and tarnish your reputation."

These words were undoubtedly a shot in the arm. Yingchun finally came to her senses, turned around, and looked at Zhang Yunyi with gratitude.

But he held her chin, and before she could say any words of gratitude, the juicy and bright cherry was already fully held in Zhang Yunyi's mouth.

Yingchun had never experienced this before. Although she knew the situation was critical and wanted to struggle hard, her limbs were sore and weak. She scratched Zhang Yunyi's face twice as if she was caressing her lover.

She just thought that the medicine Zhang Yunyi took effect, and when she was completely desperate, she suddenly felt empty.

She opened her eyes blankly, only to see Zhang Yunyi raising his head with difficulty, saying with a guilty look on his face: "It's all my fault! I failed to suppress the effects of the medicine and frightened my second sister!"

"No!" Yingchun said hoarsely, "Don't blame Yi..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhang Yunyi interrupted him.

Zhang Yunyi was originally worried that his actions were too drastic, but now he was going too far. Not only was he greedily stirring up trouble, he also did not stop his hands.

Yingchun was feeling both pain and happiness at this moment. On the one hand, she was worried that the door might open at any time, and on the other hand, she was enjoying Zhang Yunyi's tenderness.

There was suddenly no movement inside, which made everyone outside a little confused.

After waiting for a while, Fang said cautiously: "Sir...Sir..."

This sound immediately woke up Yingchun, and Zhang Yunyi seemed to react. He slowly raised his head and said to the outside: "If there are other people outside besides you and Siqi, send them all away and open the door."

"Hey! Hey! Don't worry, sir. There's no one else but me!"

Lai Dajie asked quickly: "Then I will open the door now?"

Chapter 285 There is no escape from the crime

With a creak, the door opened and Yingchun felt a wave of heat rushing towards her.

Unconsciously, she thought of the burning sensation of Zhang Yunyi's body again. She didn't even have time to look at Siqi. She lowered her head, folded her arms across her chest, and fled away like the wind.

She went out of the east and west corner gates and came to the wall of the Xue family in the northeast corner. She leaned her back against the wall and breathed heavily.

Recalling the scene in the side hall, she felt as if she was in a dream. At the same time as she felt ashamed and angry, she also felt an inexplicable joy.

Although, as a victim, she shouldn't have such emotions.

But she finally understood Zhang Yunyi's intentions. Moreover, he did not vent his anger on her. Instead, he was considerate and gentle, and always took her into consideration, which made her feel warm for no reason.

I even miss the feeling of being toyed with by him.

When she thought of this, she felt as if millions of ants were crawling over her body, and the tip of her tongue felt numb.

She couldn't help but pursed her lips, stuck out her little tongue, and stroked it back and forth on her lips.

" As she savored the memory, she felt a little sour in her heart.

If it weren't for Lai Dajia's coincidence, perhaps Brother Yi's medicine couldn't suppress it, and he could only...

Before coming out, Brother Yi couldn't suppress the effects of the drug. Now, I'm afraid Siqi is...

Thinking of this, her cheeks became hot and she shook her head fiercely.

He turned his head to look at the main gate of the Grand View Garden, and then looked back at the road he came from, but in the end he couldn't muster up the courage to go back and find out what was going on.

……

In the side hall, Zhang Yunyi was not in a hurry to let Siqi wear off the effects of the medicine as Yingchun had expected.

Instead, he sat calmly in the hall, looking at Siqi who was kneeling in front of him.

It's not that he didn't think about taking advantage of the situation and taking Yingchun down.

However, since Jia She and Lady Xing have plotted against Yingchun as well, they probably won’t care too much about her reputation.

If we continue to make a mistake, I'm afraid we will end up with a lose-lose situation.

Although Yuanchun's marriage has encountered some changes, it is still unresolved.

The Rong Mansion was not in a state of collapse. Even if he was right, and even for Yuanchun's marriage consideration, Grandmother Jia would never agree to let Yingchun become a concubine.

It would be fine if Yingchun was involved. Zhang Yunyi was not worried that she would be unable to get over the fact that she used such despicable means.

Jia She and his wife were only after money and were merely bargaining.

Even if he didn't marry her for the time being and promised her a position as a concubine, he wouldn't mind picking this flower first.

But since she was kept in the dark, Zhang Yunyi had to consider the consequences of making a mistake.

Even though she was in the right and there was nothing to worry about if the fight got out of hand, doing so might very well cost her her life.

Moreover, if this happens, the relationship with the Rong family will be completely broken off.

How can I plot against all the golden hairpins in the future?

It would be fine for others, but if they couldn't intercept it first, it would be hard to say whether Lin Daiyu and Yingchun could survive until he had the power of life and death over the Rong Mansion.

In this world, being tougher never necessarily means better results.

Sometimes, only by taking a step back can you take the initiative.

After all, it is an era where reputation is more important than anything else. As long as they are not given the opportunity to fight to the death, the Rong family will be able to be cautious.

As for Yingchun, today I will use the excuse of her being drugged to break her psychological defenses first, and then slowly do PUA...

No, it should be guided slowly and step by step, which is the safest way.

He has never been a person who would keep silent when suffering a loss.

Although no substantial losses were caused, it was still an ambushed attack after all.

How can I not retaliate?

It is not convenient for Jia She and Mrs. Xing to openly break up at the moment, and there is no need to rush.

But Siqi, a maid, actually dared to get involved.

If he continues to swallow his anger, the title bestowed by the emperor will be wasted.

Even with the legitimate reason of being drugged, Yingchun was still worried that Jia She and Lady Xing would disregard her reputation and break up with her.

But Siqi doesn't even have this qualification.

Although from Siqi's previous performance and the fact that Jia She and his wife sent Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng away, the story behind the wine and the person behind the scenes were already obvious.

It was not for the purpose of launching the expedition with a legitimate reason, but to wait for news from Lai Da.

Jia She was present on the night Jia Jing and Jia Zhen died, and he also heard what Pei Feng said. It's hard to guarantee that he wouldn't follow suit.

If there was any problem with the medicine in the wine, he would take Siqi, Lai Da and others directly to file a complaint with the emperor.

As for the promise to Yingchun...

By then, as a wife of a convicted official, I believe she would not care too much about these trivial details.

With the emperor's favor he enjoys now, anyone who dares to murder him must be guilty of a serious crime. By then, I can capture all the golden hairpins in one fell swoop and take everything I should take, which will save me a lot of trouble.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but grin and shouted, "Who gave you the courage to use medicine on me?"

"I am just following orders! Master Yi wants me to beat you or punish you, I will accept it!"

"Oh? My second sister was kept in the dark. Whose orders did you follow?"

"Madam! If she hadn't forced me, I wouldn't have disregarded the young lady's reputation!"

Zhang Yunyi looked at Siqi in surprise. After all, they were still in the Rong Mansion. He thought she would at least hold on for a while and observe the situation. He didn't expect her to collapse so suddenly.

As he was speaking, he heard Lai Da's shout from outside.

"Get in!"

Immediately afterwards, Wang Shanbao, the housekeeper, was pushed in with a stagger.

After seeing the situation in the house clearly, she immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Master, please spare my life! Master, please spare my life!"

"Shut up!"

Lai Da, who followed in, kicked her and knocked her to the ground.

He ran up to Zhang Yunyi and said, "Sir! I just happened to see her sneaking around outside. She must be the one sent by the other side to keep watch!"

Zhang Yunyi nodded slightly and asked, "What do you mean?"

Lai Da immediately bowed his head and said obediently: "Mr. Zhen has tested it and said that although the medicine in this wine has aphrodisiac effects, there is nothing wrong with it, and..."

He paused and said, "Moreover, the materials and medicines used are quite precious, and their nature is relatively mild. It is obvious that they spared no expense and are relatively cautious..."

Although he had made up his mind to cling to Yun Yi's thigh, what he did tonight was suspected of betrayal.

He was not worried about falling out with Jia She. After all, since they had the evidence from tonight, they both had some concerns and would not end up falling out.

But if the matter really came to the attention of Lady Jia, his job as housekeeper would be over.

Therefore, although he repeated Zhen Shiyin's conclusion, he still weighed the pros and cons between saying it and not saying it.

Zhang Yunyi also heard something and nodded, saying, "Master is very clear about rewards and punishments. Thanks to you guys tonight, I can't let you guys have any excuses!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Siqi who was kneeling on the ground and said jokingly, "Since you said so, then you also know what kind of medicine was in the wine, right?"

Siqi was stunned when she heard this, probably because she didn't expect why he would want to confirm it with him. She asked in confusion: "Master, why do you ask when you already know the answer? Although I was forced to do so, I am also an accomplice. I will accept the beating and punishment if you want!"

“Bang!” Zhang Yunyi slammed the table and said, “Okay! Since you are not innocent, I will punish you to help me to dissipate the effects of the medicine first!”

Wang Shanbao was startled by the 'bang' and begged for mercy subconsciously: "Master, please spare my life! We are only following orders..."

But halfway through her words, she came to her senses and immediately changed her worry into joy, saying, "Thank you, my Lord... for your grace! It is a blessing for this girl to be able to serve you, my Lord!"

When she came in, she didn't see Yingchun, but saw Siqi kneeling in the hall, looking ready to be punished. She already knew that the situation was not good.

But what he never expected was that this benefit did not fall on Yingchun, but on his own granddaughter.

Although things went wrong and it would be difficult to explain to Mrs. Xing, it was better than being directly punished by Zhang Yun逸 without any explanation.

When she heard Lai calling him "Sir", she quickly changed her address.

Siqi didn't understand the meaning of the words at first, but when Wang Shanbao shouted out the words "serve" and "blessing", a look of confusion appeared on her face.

It’s not that she doesn’t know how to serve.

Ever since Jia She intended to marry Yingchun to Zhang Yun逸, Mrs. Xing has often given Yingchun advice.

As a deputy young lady, she was originally a maidservant. As the saying goes, when the young lady has something to do, the maidservant will do the work, so naturally she has been influenced by everything.

But no one expected that Zhang Yun逸 would speak out so openly in front of Mr. and Mrs. Lai and his grandmother.

She was still a little at a loss, but Wang Shanbao, who was kneeling on the ground, had already climbed up with a smile on his face.
