The Red Mansion Big Liar

In the dim moonlight that came through the window screen into the room, she took two steps towards the door and said in a hoarse voice, "Master and Miss will chat here slowly. I...I will go outside..."

Because the door was blocked, she had to ask for instructions.

Unexpectedly, before he could finish his words, Zhang Yunyi pulled him away.

A rebuke sounded in my ears: "Who told you to blow out the lights?"

She didn't know how to answer, but she saw Zhang Yunyi squatting slightly, and Yingchun beside him was already held close to his body by his arm holding her thigh.

Siqi felt her hand tighten, as if she was leading a horse, and her whole body moved involuntarily to the table inside the room.

Zhang Yunyi held Yingchun in his arms and sat her on the table. He then pulled Siqi to his side and pushed her in front of him. When she was leaning against the table, he pressed her against Yingchun and made her lie on the table.

"Ah!~" This scene aroused the fear in Siqi's heart, and she couldn't help but scream out.

"Brother Yi?" Yingchun thought he was complaining about Siqi turning off the lights, so she said softly, "She meant well. She was worried that others would see the light..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhang Yunyi raised his hand to cover his mouth.

In the dim light, only Zhang Yunyi's bewitching voice could be heard: "Second sister is naturally beautiful, and it is hard for Brother Yi to restrain his emotions. You don't want Brother Yi to feel too miserable, do you?"

Although Yingchun didn't understand what he meant, when she heard him say that it was hard work, she nodded obediently.

Zhang Yunyi then took a small step forward, came behind Siqi, and hugged Yingchun diagonally in front of him.

Chapter 293 Hit it off

Let us keep each other company in this world and live carefreely.

Ride your horse and share the prosperity of life.

Let us drink and sing, and sing out the joy in our hearts.

Live life to the fullest and seize the time of your youth.

……

A familiar song from his previous life rang in Zhang Yunyi's ears.

At this moment, he seemed to be a rider on horseback, holding Yingchun in his arms, whipping the horse and galloping to his heart's content.

If this kind of thing happened to Tanchun, who is also unmarried, even if resistance is hopeless, she would at least struggle a bit.

But Yingchun was used to being submissive, and she knew very well what happened when Siqi was wearing off the effect of the medicine. She was held in his arms, wandering around, and gradually lost herself in the use of his hands and mouth.

That night, she returned to Zhuijin Tower in a state of panic and waited until after three o'clock in the morning before Siqi returned with a dejected look on her face.

Although he had some rough guesses about how to eliminate the medicinal properties, he still suppressed his curiosity and asked about what happened.

However, Siqi was distraught and kept silent.

Now, she finally truly understood what Siqi had gone through.

This was originally the duty of a maidservant, and since it had started, there was naturally no way there would be no follow-up.

Originally, Yingchun still felt somewhat ashamed, but because of her submissive character, she did not dare to show any emotion even though she felt mentally uncomfortable. In addition, with the effective guidance of Zhang Yunyi, she gradually deceived herself and comforted herself.

Brother Yi, this is all for my own good. I can’t let him endure too much pain.

When Zhang Yunyi gradually calmed down, she realized that she was actually sitting astride Siqi's back.

She felt a little ashamed and said, "I didn't... did I hurt you?"

It’s not that Zhang Yun逸 has to do this.

However, Siqi was a hot-tempered person, and he had work to do, so he couldn't do it as usual. In order to avoid falling down, he borrowed Yingchun's weight to make him unable to move.

Of course, this also satisfied some of his emotions, killing two birds with one stone.

Although good food is never too late, he has many tricks, but everything should be done step by step.

He lifted Yingchun, who was as soft as mud, from Ma...Siqi's body and sat her on the table.

When Fang lowered his head to glance at Siqi's back, he discovered that the depression on the spine had already been stained by sweat.

Siqi finally recovered and wiped her back with her hand. Then she shook her hand and turned over. She did not blame Zhang Yunyi, but complained to Yingchun: "Miss!~"

Logically, there is a difference between master and servant. Yingchun was already in a good mood by not scolding him for such a random complaint.

But she trembled for no reason, then lowered her head, fidgeted with the corner of her clothes, and became restless.

Zhang Yunyi was well aware of the principle of gradual progress and knowing when to stop. He turned a blind eye to her shyness and instead pulled her aside to comfort her for a while.

When Siqi had finished packing, Fang said softly, "It's getting late, you guys should go back first! I'll take care of this!"

"No!" Yingchun twisted her hips nervously as if she had received an electric shock, and waved her hands quickly, "No need, Brother Yi, go back first! Siqi and I will take care of this place."

"Okay then. I'll ask Jinchuan to pass on the message later."

Zhang Yunyi knew that she was afraid that he would discover her embarrassment, so he did not insist.

After hearing that he had agreed to meet next time, Yingchun lowered her head almost to her chest and hummed like a mosquito: "Hmm!~"

Before leaving, Zhang Yunyi suddenly remembered something and added, "Oh, right! The book version of Legend of the White Snake has been printed. I took a few copies and left them with Sister Lin. I'll let each of you keep one as a souvenir. You can go get it later."

The Legend of the White Snake has already been printed and published, and what he brought today is the hardcover version reserved for his sisters.

Yingchun nodded to show that she understood. He then reminded the two of them to be careful not to bump into anything on the way, threw away the brocade cloth that had been used to wrap the books, and turned to leave the Qingtang hut.

After he left, the room was silent for a long time before Yingchun's voice rang out: "You...you don't blame me, do you?"

Si Qi shook her head and said with a self-deprecating smile: "It's all my own fault. If I had known earlier, I should have gone straight to the master!"

After these two experiences, she gradually realized that Zhang Yunyi was not as easy to get along with as the outside world rumored.

Especially after comparing the two times, she began to have some doubts about whether Zhang Yunyi had been tricked that night.

If he had thought of asking him for help when facing Mrs. Xing's coercion, perhaps the situation would have been different.

However, with this speculation, she was more and more looking forward to how Zhang Yunyi would teach the mastermind behind the scenes a lesson.

I am just an accomplice, but I am treated like this. I'm sure the mastermind behind this will not be let off easily, right?

Yingchun did not understand what she meant. She just thought she was sighing. If she had known that Zhang Yunyi had feelings for her, she should have contacted him earlier.

It would also save me from being pressured by Mrs. Xing and living in fear for so long.

Although Siqi suffered more than Yingchun, she had experience after all, so her situation was not as miserable as Yingchun's.

After he had finished packing, he took the brocade cloth that Zhang Yunyi had left behind to wrap the books, went to the Qinfang Pool to soak the cloth, then turned back and carefully wiped all the traces in the house.

Fang supported Yingchun, who covered the front and back of her skirt with both hands, and carefully returned to Zilingzhou.

As they were thieves with a guilty conscience and feared being seen on the road, the two men did not dare to carry lanterns and stumbled along the way. The journey that was supposed to take only a moment actually took them half an hour.

After returning to Zhuijin Tower and secretly taking a bath, Yingchun finally let go of her worries.

Although Siqi had concealed the fact of drugging before, the two of them now have a life-and-death friendship.

She was actually closer than before. She pulled Siqi, who had just finished washing, to bed and started talking in private.

The two of them were in perfect tacit understanding and avoided talking about the embarrassing topics of the evening, and instead started chatting about daily life.

"Now the young lady can be considered to be proud of herself. With the support of the master in the future, I want to see who dares to take us lightly!"

"Didn't the old lady say that it's not a good idea to let anyone know about this right now? Wait a while..."

Si Qi disagreed and interrupted, "Young lady, you are too easy to get along with! The old lady only said that we shouldn't let anyone know, but she didn't say that we have to endure it and let them deduct our expenses for nothing! It's a good opportunity to take advantage of the fact that no one knows about it yet, so that those people who usually look down on others will know how powerful we are!"

In the past, Yingchun was not loved by her father and mother, and her expenses were often deducted from her.

Siqi was also very angry.

However, although she is the granddaughter of Wang Shanbao's family, that is only the relationship between the first wife and the second wife. Not only does she have no say in the second wife's family, but she is also a hindrance.

Yingchun just kept compromising, so even if she wanted to stand out, she didn't have the confidence.

Although the situation improved after the news that Yingchun might marry Zhang Yunyi spread, Siqi always kept it in mind.

She was a person who would repay grievances with justice, and she was even like that to Madam Xing, whom she had once oppressed.

How could he swallow his anger in front of a servant of the same status?

But now, Yingchun’s status is obviously different, so how could she tolerate this?

Of course, she was not speaking without purpose. A few days ago, her aunt Qin Xian's family came to see her and said that Mr. and Mrs. Lai agreed to change her job, but they just lacked a reason.

As the steward of Rong Mansion, Lai Da has experienced many things like this being entrusted to him.

He knew very well that when helping others, one should not agree to do something too readily. The more difficult the matter was, the more likely the other person would do him a favor.

Originally, I just knew that Siqi had hooked up with Zhang Yunyi and hoped to use her aunt's affairs to curry favor with her, but I never thought of asking her to help do anything.

Unexpectedly, they hit it off right away.

Chapter 294 Blessings and Disasters

Speaking of Mrs. Liu who worked in the small kitchen, she didn't know that her job was being targeted.

That day, I heard that my brother's nephew had caught a heat stroke, so I took some time out of my busy schedule, brought some ice from the kitchen, and went to deliver it to my brother's house.

Coincidentally, a few servants who were on good terms with her nephew also came to visit the patient.

One of them was named Qian Huai, the nephew of Aunt Zhao. They were the couple who helped Aunt Zhao spread gossip about Madam Wang.

He had always been attracted by the beauty of the fifth daughter of the Liu family. He had told his parents that he wanted to marry her and had also asked matchmakers to ask for her help repeatedly.

His parents are now in charge of accounts in the treasury, and he himself was sent to school with Jia Huan, so he has some wealth and influence.

Mrs. Liu didn't have any objection, but Liu Wu'er insisted on not complying.

Seeing that Qian Huai was also there, he said that he had something to do in the garden, dropped his things, and got up to leave.

When I arrived at the west gate of the garden, I saw the gatekeeper He San laughing and said, "Aunt, where have you been? This road is not the way home, I am suspicious."

Sister Liu scolded with a smile: "You little monkey, your aunt has gone to see the old man, so you have just got an uncle, what are you suspicious about! Why don't you open the door and let me in?"

The servant pulled her aside and said with a smile, "My dear aunt, when you go in, at least steal some apricots for me to eat. If you forget, I won't open the door for you or answer your call when you come to buy wine or oil in the middle of the night. You can call for whatever you want."

Sister Liu spat, "Your aunt's sister and two or three relatives are in the garden. Why don't you ask them for it, but come to me instead?"

He San smiled and said, "Oh, no, that's all. Stop talking nonsense! I think you won't need me when you get old. Even if my sister has a good place, there will be many more days calling for her in the future. We just need to promise her more."

After hearing this, Sister Liu laughed and said, "You little monkey, you are making trouble again. What good can your sister have?"

He San laughed and said, "Don't kid me. Just because you have an internal connection, don't we have any problems? Although I am on duty here, there are two sisters who are well behaved. What are you hiding from us?"

This He San is the younger brother of He Chunyan of Yihongyuan, and also the godson of Zhou Ruijia.

Her mother, like Old Lady Bai, also came into the Rong Mansion as a dowry with Lady Wang.

Aunt Xue was originally a daughter of the Wang family. She came to Beijing with her family and lived in Lixiangyuan. Old Lady He had to go with her family to pay her respects to Aunt Xue.

He San was not a very decent person to begin with, but after a while, he and Xue Pan seemed to have some similarities. Xue Pan was willing to take He San to see the world when he went out. He also went to Lixiangyuan from time to time to get some benefits and satisfy his cravings.

At that time, the construction of the Grand View Garden had not yet started, and Sister Liu happened to be in Lixiang Courtyard, so she became familiar with the place.

Since this matter concerned her own daughter, Sister Liu quickly asked, "Could it be that your sister Chunyan heard the rumor from Miss Xi? Or did your cousin Mingyan hear the rumor from Master Bao?"

Speaking of the complicated relationships among the servants in the Rong Mansion, He San's aunt is also Mingyan's mother.

He has another aunt, who is Mrs. Xia, the one who instigated Aunt Zhao to fight with the little actor in the original novel.

And Mrs. Xia's granddaughter is Xiaochan, the maid in Tanchun's room.

This shows how complicated the relationships among the servants in the mansion are.

After Qingwen followed Zhang Yunyi, Xiren became the most powerful family in the Yihong Courtyard. Although there were also Musk Moon and Qiu Wen under her, they all followed her lead.

However, the vacant position always needs to be filled by someone, and this position should have been assigned to the head maid.

But the number of maids in this mansion is not too few, but not too many either.

They all have their own duties, and only Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang have two more people to listen to them.

However, Grandmother Jia intended to have Yuanyang marry with Yuanchun, and there was no room for her in the house.
