The Red Mansion Big Liar
Page 173
Mrs. Liu could no longer hide her embarrassment. She pulled Liu Wu'er, who was obviously a little timid, and raised her head tremblingly.
Liu Wu'er was already frightened and uneasy, and with that tenderness, she looked even more pitiful.
Although she does not look like Lingguan and her appearance is very similar to Daiyu, her sickly and delicate demeanor is very similar to Lin Daiyu.
After confirming through eye contact and knowing that it was the right person, Zhang Yunyi no longer hesitated.
"Forget it! Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Since this incident was caused by me, I can't let you lose your job for no reason!"
He sighed, turned to look at the Liu family, and said, "Since I can't go to Yihong Courtyard, it just so happens that Aunt You is in need of a personal maid. If you are willing, ask your daughter to come here, and I will go over there to greet her."
He paused, thinking of You Erjie who was still pretending to be pregnant, and added: "Since she is weak, there is no need to rush over. Mr. Zhen is an excellent doctor. He can check her pulse first, and then go to serve her after she recovers. You don't need to worry about the cost of her recovery, just transfer it from the mansion."
As he spoke, he looked at Youshi, who nodded quickly to show that she understood.
Ruizhu and Baozhu take turns on his side, and there is also Qingwen.
Xiangling now has Jinchuan, and although Third Sister You has long wanted to find a personal maid, she is too embarrassed to do so and refuses to serve with anyone else.
On the contrary, You Erjie was quite considerate and would rush to make arrangements without him even asking.
If Chunyan had not said that, the Liu family might not have known which side was higher and which was lower. But now, not only did they already know the answer, but they also saw Youshi standing by with her head lowered. How could they dare to hesitate?
Suddenly his worry turned into joy, he cried with joy, and hurriedly held Liu Wu'er and kowtowed to express his gratitude.
"Thank you very much, sir, for your kindness. Thank you very much, sir, for your kindness! It is her blessing to be able to serve my aunt."
The reason why Liu Wuer was determined to get into Yihongyuan was because she knew the treatment there was good and she wanted to reduce the burden on her family.
Now it can be considered that there are some mistakes in it.
Zhang Yunyi waved his hand and said, "Alright! Since there is something hidden, it is I who wrongly blamed you."
Zhang Yun逸 didn't care much about the right or wrong of things. Since he had accepted Liu Wu'er, he naturally wouldn't bother about those trivial matters anymore.
However, the job of the small kitchen has now been assigned to Siqi's aunt.
Although both sides of his hands are made of flesh, he was the one who made the decision and he couldn't slap himself in the face.
So he changed the subject and said, "However, since there was a misunderstanding, you should not go to the small kitchen."
"Hey! Hey! Everything is up to you!"
The Liu family was overjoyed that their daughter had found a place to stay. Now that they heard that their own situation had also taken a turn for the better, they dared not question it.
Zhang Yunyi hesitated for a moment, then asked knowingly, "Where did you work before?"
"My Lord! I was originally a servant in Lixiang Courtyard. Later, the concubine moved to the northeast corner of the backyard. I took care of the little actor for a few months. When the girls moved into the garden, I was transferred to the small kitchen!"
"Yes!" Zhang Yunyi nodded and said without comment, "You go back first! When you are free one day, go there again."
He has always had double standards. Liu Wuer can stay, but as for her mother...
Siqi is certainly not an easy person to deal with, but it takes two to tango, and Liu Wuer's mother is not completely innocent either.
At least, she was not wronged in showing favoritism.
It’s better to keep it in Rong Mansion.
Of course, considering that Lai Da had reported the news in advance last time, he thought that too few spies in the Rong Mansion were better than too many.
The reason why I'm not in a hurry to go.
Firstly, it really wasn't a big deal, and there was no need to be polite to her.
Secondly, he has the final say on recruiting someone into his own mansion, and the Rong Mansion will only respond with one word.
Wang Xifeng cannot be avoided in this matter. She was made happy for nothing last time, and I'm afraid she won't be fooled again this time.
So, if you delay it for a while, then it will be a while.
……
at the same time.
Ping'er had just returned to Wang Xifeng's courtyard.
She leaned against the door and complained, "You are the only one who is nosy! Since he has already spoken, why bother with this? You are the one who said you would not cause trouble for him, and you are the one who is too nice. You have said everything and you have been allowed to be a nice person!"
"Grandma! It's all because of us that things have come to this. Besides, if Master agrees, he will have to come and tell Grandma. Wouldn't Grandma be..."
At this point, Ping'er blinked, smiled apologetically, and walked forward to hold her arm.
"Hmph!" Wang Xifeng snorted coldly and twisted her arms proudly, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face. She raised her hand and poked Ping'er on the forehead, saying, "That's enough! You are the one with so many tricks. When he comes this time, I'll give you the first credit!"

Chapter 301 Taking action after hearing the news
"Look, it's so good now. Your family is respectable, and you have a place to go. Brother Yi is a considerate person, but it's all thanks to the method I used back then that you got this good deal!"
In the Zhuijin Tower, Madam Xing held Siqi and chattered non-stop.
Jia She had repeatedly urged for that sum of money.
Originally, Mrs. Xing was still worried about hitting a snag with Zhang Yun逸, and kept shirking the responsibility. But when she heard Wang Shanbao exaggerating and talking about how he supported his granddaughter, she became more confident.
"Madam, what are you talking about? I am just angry that my young lady is looked down upon, so I came to you to seek justice." She glanced at Madam Xing, "Outsiders only see the glory on the surface, but how could they know how much suffering this maid has endured behind the scenes?"
She has a hot temper and is always trying to "set things right", which causes her to suffer every time. It's inevitable that she feels aggrieved when she mentions it.
?, "Only those who endure the most hardships can become the best! How many people want to endure this kind of suffering but cannot!"
Mrs. Xing did not hear the grievance in her tone. Instead, she patted the back of Siqi's hand and said with a smile, "That was the first time for you. He was young and hot-tempered, and he drank the wine we prepared, so it was inevitable that he suffered more. Now that he has gotten through it, he will have a good time in the future!"
Although she disliked Mrs. Xing anyway, Siqi couldn't help blushing when she heard her meaningful words about the sweet rewards after suffering.
Mrs. Xing saw this and hurriedly said, "Now that you have gained respect, you must know how to repay the kindness!"
Siqi heard the hidden meaning in her words and couldn't help but feel nervous. She tried to test her: "I am just a servant in the mansion. Even if I want to repay you, I can only serve you more attentively!"
"Hey!" Mrs. Xing smiled and said meaningfully, "You can't just be attentive when serving the young lady, you have to put more thought into serving the son-in-law!"
Because she was worried that Siqi was too shy, she even changed her address.
Even though Siqi had seen a lot, she still felt flustered and asked in a trembling voice, "Madam... Madam, what do you mean by this?"
Before this, in order to let Yingchun seduce Zhang Yunyi, Mrs. Xing had taught her a lot of knowledge that was too embarrassing to talk about. Now her words were hinting at something, so Siqi inevitably misunderstood.
Madam Xing saw this and said disapprovingly, "You girl, why are you still shy? You are already a deputy lady, so being a concubine is part of your job. And now you have served your son-in-law before a young lady. When you get married, you will definitely be a concubine."
Hearing the word "aunt", Siqi couldn't help but feel a little dazed, and said: "Madam, you are joking. I am satisfied to be able to follow the young lady."
Mrs. Xing quickly followed up the conversation and said, "I know you are an extremely loyal girl, but now that Madam is in some trouble, you can't just sit back and watch!"
"This..." Siqi declined hurriedly, "I am just a maid, how can I get involved in the Madam's affairs!"
"Hey! Now you are a person of status, and you can speak in front of the son-in-law, so you can't belittle yourself!"
Siqi finally understood this time. It turned out that Madam Xing was setting her sights on Zhang Yunyi again.
She quickly evaded the question, "Madam, you are joking. Master is only doing justice for the sake of Miss. It is also because of Miss that I have no right to speak."
"How come there is nothing left? Last time your grandmother said that your uncle still wants you to be there whenever he calls."
At this point, Madam Xing paused, stared at Siqi's face, and asked, "Have you been asked to serve me recently?"
When she asked this, Siqi was speechless.
Although he made an appointment with Yingchun once and went to her house on his own initiative the other time, he never missed the date.
Mrs. Xing observed Siqi's expression, patted the back of her hand, and said with a smile: "Isn't it settled? Since the son-in-law asked you to serve him, he must be thinking about you."
At this point, she put on the attitude of an experienced person and said, "Men! It's just a small matter. Look at Aunt Zhao. Isn't it because she feels comfortable serving the Second Master that she goes there frequently and is willing to take on the responsibility for her when something happens?"
Siqi's family members have often said such things to her.
Faced with Mrs. Xing's facts and reasoning, she was helpless and could only remain silent.
Mrs. Xing just thought she agreed and said with a smile: "Last time at the old lady's place, you also heard that the master still owes the old lady more than two thousand taels of silver. The old lady is pressing for money. Now he is under house arrest, so I can only trouble you to help tell the son-in-law and help to pay for it for the time being."
Siqi waved her hands repeatedly: "With such a large sum of money, it would be enough to buy as many maids as I want. How can I afford to do that?"
"Hey! Money can't buy the one you love! How do you know if you don't try? Isn't Xiangling born as a maid? How much money did you spend on her? You think this amount of money is a lot, but it's just a drop in the bucket for him! At worst, he can just deduct it from the betrothal gift later."
According to Jia She's intention, the money would naturally be borrowed without being returned, but Mrs. Xing was worried and decided to get through this hurdle as much as possible, so she chose a compromise plan.
After she said this, Siqi suddenly felt embarrassed.
After these few times of getting along, she had come to realize that Zhang Yunyi was not someone who was easy to talk to.
Otherwise, he would not have gone before Lady Jia and asked Jia She to sign a document.
Seeing this, she was not worried that Madam Xing would target the family again, but Jia She and Madam Xing obviously would not give up.
Since Mrs. Xing could say that she wanted to deduct some money from the betrothal gift, if she tried to shirk her responsibility, she would have to trouble Yingchun.
It is difficult to disobey father's orders. If Yingchun does not understand the truth, Zhang Yun逸 might be dissatisfied.
She glanced at Madam Xing and said, "Since Madam has said so, I will obey your orders."
At this point, she changed the subject and said, "But, after all, I am just a servant. Even if I tell you about this huge sum of money, you may not believe me. Madam has to go there in person."
This was originally Jia She's idea, but because Mrs. Xing was worried about running into trouble, she wanted to entrust Siqi with full authority to do it.
Now that Siqi had said so, and her worries were not unreasonable, she could only bite the bullet and say, "Then you have to help say a few good words. You know, although we did it for the girl, we also offended the son-in-law. I'm afraid he still remembers our mistakes in his heart!"
She was in the wrong person. Siqi disliked her and wanted to clear Yingchun of all the wrong things, so how could she say anything good for her?
However, she said, "I won't bother you! But I am a nobody and my words have no weight. I don't know if what I say will be of any use."
Mrs. Xing had no idea about this, and she couldn't help but say with joy, "How can domestic flowers be as fragrant as wild flowers? This sneaky tone is what I like the most. Now that you are in power, how can your words not be useful?"
Even though Siqi had seen this before, her cheeks still blushed when she heard her speak so bluntly.
Fearing that he would hear some crazy talk again, he hurriedly said, "Master is still in the government office right now, Madam, you should come after dinner."
She originally wanted to send Mrs. Xing away and go to Zhang Yunyi to say hello in advance.
However, Mrs. Xing wanted to communicate more with her, so that she could give her advice and have more confidence. She dragged her along and talked about this and that until the sun set.

Chapter 302 The Master's Style
After dinner, with no more excuses, Siqi had no choice but to bite the bullet and bring Madam Xing to Huifang Garden.
After entering Huifang Garden, she looked towards the north, hesitated for a moment, pointed to the Linshui Pavilion and said, "This is not a glorious thing. If someone heard it, I'm afraid the young lady would lose face. I know there's no one in that courtyard, so why don't I take the mistress there to wait, and then ask the master to come over, so that no one will hear it."
Mrs. Xing had no idea of her little plan. She was worried that Zhang Yunyi still had some resentment and would use words to bully her, making her lose face. She hurriedly said, "Right, right, right! You are still very thorough."
After sending Madam Xing to the Linshui Pavilion, she moved to the Dengxian Pavilion.
Zhang Yunyi had just finished dinner, and when he saw her coming, he thought that the rumor that he had left Liu Wuer behind had spread, so without waiting for her to speak, he stood up and said, "I'm just about to go out for a walk to help digest my food. If you have anything to say, go out and talk!"
Siqi was a little hesitant at first. If she said this in front of Baozhu and Qingwen, would they look down on Yingchun?
After leaving the house, Fang explained his purpose: "Madam came to the garden today..."
Because she was anxious to help Yingchun clear herself of the matter, she turned the person that Mrs. Xing was asking for help to Yingchun.
Finally, she continued, "Young lady is in a very difficult situation, but it is difficult to disobey her father's order, and the mistress is pressing her too hard, so she can only ask the servant to bring the man here so that the master can send him away, so as to avoid further entanglement and ruining the friendship between young lady and the master."
Zhang Yunyi sneered: "I don't bother with them, but they have learned to take advantage of me!"
At this point, he looked at Siqi and asked, "Where is she?"
Siqi blushed and pointed at the Linshui Pavilion and said, "I was worried that there were other people present, so the master took them there for the sake of Miss's dignity."
Zhang Yunyi slapped the roundness of her breasts behind her, clenched his hands, and gave her an approving look.
He said meaningfully, "Last time, didn't you blame me for taking out my anger on you, my accomplice? Now that she has come to me on her own initiative, you can't blame me. Let's teach her a lesson!"
Siqi had not yet recovered from his clutches and had no time to think about the meaning of his words, but she saw him taking the lead and heading straight for Linshui Pavilion.
He stamped his feet and quickly followed.
Zhang Yunyi arrived at the Linshui Pavilion and saw from afar Madam Xing standing in front of the courtyard gate with her neck bent, looking forward to seeing something.
He suppressed the sneer on his face, turned around with a gloomy face and said to Siqi: "You will wait outside later!"
