The Red Mansion Big Liar

Having put her doubts to rest, she no longer lingered and turned away with Ping'er.

But she had always been suspicious, and when she returned to the three small rooms, the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

Although Li Wan's suspicion has been dispelled, there might be someone else out there.

She herself was not clean either, and she had no intention of catching the adulterer. She just wanted to take the opportunity to bargain and get more profits.

However, the girl's relationship was of great importance, and it was impossible to hide it since she was not married yet, so she did not dare to make random guesses. As for the daughters-in-law of similar age, she and Li Wan were the only ones in Rong Mansion. She thought about it over and over again, but could not come to a conclusion.

He said anxiously, "When he comes back in the evening, you go to the thief's place. Now everything is ready, only he is lacking. I will do whatever he wants, why is he still making excuses? Are you deliberately trying to fool me?"

At this point, she couldn't help but feel moved. Could it be that he didn't agree to his request the day before and was deliberately leaving her alone?

Ping'er smiled and covered her mouth, "Madam, you are too anxious. In the past, you would have to rest for two days before you could recover. Master must be worried about you."

"Pah!" Wang Xifeng blushed and said insincerely, "Who wants him to feel bad? I can't bear it, but don't I still have you?"

As she spoke, she raised her toes and tickled Ping'er's waist, saying with a smile, "If I call him over tonight, will I miss out on your benefits?"

Ping'er twisted her waist, her pretty face slightly red, and she didn't answer. She nodded slightly, but then said: "Master, you are staying in Mengpo Zhai this time because of official business. I can't guarantee that you can stay here!"

"What kind of official business must be postponed until the evening?" Wang Xifeng said disapprovingly, "At most, I can stay a few more days and ask Qin and the others to wait a few more days. How can a domestic flower be as fragrant as a wild flower like you?"

Ping Erh knew her character very well and said with a smile, "I am at most a green leaf on Madam's flower branch. You just can't bear to spoil Madam's flower..."

Wang Xifeng was quite satisfied with this answer and said with a smile, "You little slut are so sweet-mouthed!"

The two of them laughed and joked, and when Zhang Yunyi came back from office, Wang Xifeng prepared wine and food and urged Ping'er to go and invite people.

……

Zhang Yun逸 didn't know that after only one night, Wang Xifeng could no longer hold back.

When he returned to Mengpo Zhai, Yuchuan had been waiting for a long time.

While he was eating, he said to Yuchuan, "Go back and tell Madam that I will send the servants away in a while. Tell her not to worry and come over early."

After Yuchuan received the order and went back, he called Wu Ma and asked her to arrange for the servants to return to the house early.

Wu Ma and the servants of Mengpo Zhai were old people in Huifang Garden. They knew something about Master Yi's affairs and hurried down to make arrangements.

He had just finished making arrangements when Ping'er walked in.

"Uncle! Grandma has prepared wine and food, please come over and eat."

If it had not been arranged properly, it would have just been staggered. Now that it has been arranged, he has also made up his mind to satisfy his desire to be the second master in Jia Zheng's study.

Without thinking, he said, "I have some official business to deal with today. Go back and tell her that I will stay there tomorrow night."

This was just as Ping'er had expected, so she didn't say much and turned back to report to Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng was so angry that she knocked over the food on the table. After a while of sulking, she suddenly stood up and said, "Let's go! I want to see how much official business he has to deal with!"

Ping Erh hurriedly advised: "Madam, it would be inconvenient for you to go there now!"

"What are you afraid of?" Wang Xifeng said disapprovingly, "We are just going to ask if there is anything that is not well taken care of. Jia Lian did not say anything, so who would gossip? Besides, he uses servants from the East Palace. As long as we are not seen by others, who will know that we have been there?"

Ping'er knew that she couldn't be persuaded because of her temper, so she had to bite the bullet and follow.

The two did not dare to take the main road. They passed through the east corner gate and took a detour to the aisle in front of the Xue family courtyard in the northeast corner. They happened to see a figure peeking out from the back corridor of Mengpo Zhai.

Feeling guilty, they quickly shrank back. When they came to their senses, they lay in the corner and secretly looked into the aisle.

However, during this moment of hesitation, the figure had already moved close to the wall where the moonlight could not reach, and could no longer be distinguished.

It was just a fleeting moment, and although Wang Xifeng didn't see clearly who the figure was, she could tell that the clothes were not those of a maid.

She never thought that it could be Mrs. Wang. Because of her preconceived notion, and the fact that her figure was similar to Li Wan's and she had no maid accompanying her, she immediately suspected her.

He said angrily: "Sure enough, you didn't hold your fart well. It turns out you were faking illness!"

Mrs. Wang had no idea that her whereabouts had been discovered. Because she was on good terms with the Yuchuan sisters at the hot spring villa, she was cautious this time and did not take her with her.

Firstly, it avoids the embarrassment of being on par with the maids and sisters.

Secondly, if someone came to look for her at night, Yuchuan could help block them.

Seeing the figure turning to the gate of Mengpo Zhai, she hurriedly chased after it.

"Grandma! Let's not go..." Ping'er chased after her anxiously.

Wang Xifeng is not a tolerant person. It might be okay with other people, but Li Wan is another matter.

She is also someone who cannot be seen in public, but she has Jia Lian's tacit approval, so there has to be a winner.

When they reached Mengpozhai, Ping'er retreated and said, "I'll wait outside!"

"Bah! Look at what you have accomplished!"

Wang Xifeng spat and was too lazy to pull her along.

She rushed straight into the yard, and when she arrived at the door, just as she was about to push it open, she suddenly heard a flattering voice from inside: "It's rare for the master to come home, I will serve the master right away..."

Although the tone was different from her usual one, she felt the voice was extremely familiar to her. She was shocked and her body paused.

He quietly came to the window, spit a mouthful of saliva, poked open the window paper, and moved closer to the window.

She never thought that Mrs. Wang, who was always dignified, actually had such a side to her.

But when he thought about it again, he felt suddenly enlightened. No wonder Zhang Yunyi said when he set up the bird droppings business for him that not only would he benefit greatly, but the Wang family would also benefit greatly.

It turns out that this is the crux of the problem.

However, she couldn't understand why Zhang Yunyi, since he had been involved with the Madam for a long time, would protect Aunt Zhao?

Could it be that he did it on purpose to hide the affair?

She was lost in thoughts until she heard the sound of Ai Ai in her ears and realized that she had been distracted.

At this moment, he no longer had the intention to catch someone cheating, and he quietly left the yard.

"Grandma?" Ping'er was standing guard outside the courtyard. Seeing no movement coming from the courtyard, Wang Xifeng came out. She couldn't help but wonder, "You didn't..."

"Why are you catching him? You'd better not offend him!"

If it were Li Wan, she could still take the opportunity to bargain with Zhang Yun逸 with confidence, but Mrs. Wang was a member of the Wang family like her, and she was also her elder, so it was difficult for her to make it public.

However, although she returned disappointed, the trip was still worthwhile. She was worried that after Jia Baoyu got married, he would not be able to control the affairs of the second wife.

Now, knowing the unknown side of Mrs. Wang, it might be of great use in the future.

Chapter 341 Both Hands Must Be Strong

Inside Mengpo Zhai.

Mrs. Wang doesn't know yet that Wang Xifeng has seen her unknown side and even plans to take advantage of it.

She was kneeling on the chair, foaming at the mouth, and said in a very flattering way: "Is the master...Is my concubine's service comfortable?"

Zhang Yunyi said without comment: "It is your duty to serve the master, are you asking for a reward?"

"No!" Mrs. Wang explained hurriedly, "It's just that I have something to ask you, Master!"

Zhang Yunyi shook his body, slapped Madam Wang's white face, and said, "If you have anything to say, go to bed. The master is a little tired from standing. Go and massage his legs."

"Hmm!" Mrs. Wang agreed and quickly got down from the chair.

Unexpectedly, she had been lying there for too long, her legs were numb, she lost her balance and fell to the ground.

"Ouch!~"

She screamed, quickly covered her mouth again, and looked at Zhang Yunyi sadly.

Zhang Yunyi squatted down, picked her up horizontally, threw her onto the bed, and then lay flat on her.

Madam Wang recovered a little, sat up from the bed, spread her ten fingers and grabbed Zhang Yunyi's thick legs, kneading them while flattering, "Master, take a look, are you satisfied with this strength?"

Zhang Yunyi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Tell me! What's the matter?"

"Hey! Master, I'm sure you know about my sister's family affairs..."

"What?" Zhang Yunyi curled his lips and deliberately asked, "She knows about our situation and came to you for help?"

It is naturally impossible for Mrs. Wang to self-destruct.

Yesterday at Li Wan's place, he heard some news and had some guesses. Now that Mrs. Wang suddenly pleaded for the Xue family, he deliberately said this to facilitate further indirect attacks.

"That's not the case!" Mrs. Wang said without any doubt, "How could she know?"

"I said, why doesn't she come to me herself if she has something to do?"

Zhang Yunyi said dissatisfiedly: "Since she didn't ask you for help, why are you rushing to help her? Don't you think the master doesn't care enough about you? Do you want to find something for me to do?"

"No, no, no!" Mrs. Wang immediately changed her tone, "Although she didn't say it explicitly, she meant it! Master, can you please give me some consideration..."

Speaking of face, her well-maintained fingers, as white and tender as a girl's, pressed upwards silently while waving their claws restlessly.

"If it's something else, I'll naturally give you this face, but..."

At this point, Zhang Yunyi paused and said, "It's just that a little kindness can be followed by a great grudge. At that time, I had just arrived at the East Palace, and I thought that we were related, so I not only helped her solve the review issue, but also partnered with her to do the caustic soda business. Unexpectedly, my kindness was taken for granted. Not only was she not grateful, but she also suspected that the master had swallowed her dividends!"

Mrs. Wang was skeptical and asked, "This... is there such a thing? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"How could she have the nerve to tell you? Don't you think about it? If there was no hidden reason, why would she withdraw her shares in the caustic soda business?"

Zhang Yunyi said impatiently: "If you don't believe me, just go ask her yourself!"

Mrs. Wang cursed Aunt Xue in her heart.

There are so many people who can be provoked, but why do you have to provoke Zhang Yunyi?

But she said: "She is indeed too petty, Master, please don't be angry, please consider me..."

"There should be a limit to how much you can help others. I don't want to be a good person in vain!"

"I promise she will never dare to do it again. Master, please forgive her this time!"

Zhang Yunyi pinched Madam Wang's chin and sighed, "Forget it! Since you have done your best, I will not care about it!"

He then changed the subject and said, "However, I have to make it clear this time. You can ask her to come to me later. I have to make it clear to her so that she won't be ungrateful."

After thinking for a while, he added, "Master, I have my own reasons. You should not get involved, or you will be in trouble."

Although he is a fake master, his influence on Mrs. Wang is more real than the real one.

He knew that Mrs. Wang was interested in a perfect match, and if he was too resolute towards the Xue family, she might consider his attitude and change her mind.

Compared with Lin Daiyu, the Xue family is obviously easier to control.

Therefore, he gave Mrs. Wang the illusion that he would forgive the past, and secretly used coercion and bribery on the Xue family so as not to lose sight of the big picture.

If he hadn't taken the initiative to go to the door, he would have lost the opportunity, so he wouldn't have gone through so much trouble.

The original plan was to use some means through the inner court to force the Xue family to submit, but now that Mrs. Wang is pleading for the Xue family, she might as well be a mouthpiece.

Mrs. Wang didn't expect Zhang Yunyi to say this, and she hesitated for a moment.

She had a deep understanding of Zhang Yun逸's character.

At the beginning, when Jia Baoyu was crazy, he dared to take advantage of the situation in front of Jia Mu and others, and took advantage of them.

Compared to myself, my sister is not only younger, but also has fairer and more radiant skin.

If I go there in person, wouldn't that be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth?

She didn't care about Aunt Xue's reputation, but if this happened, it was hard to say whether Zhang Yunyi would forget his elder sister because he had a younger sister.

Moreover, once the Xue family gets close to Zhang Yunyi, it is questionable whether they will still obey her orders.

However, she herself is not clean. Not to mention that this is just a guess, even if Zhang Yunyi really has such intention, what reason does she have to object?

"In that case, I will wait for her to find me, and then tell her what the master said!"

After much thought, she decided that this was the only way to avoid arousing Zhang Yunyi's suspicion.

Zhang Yunyi impatiently touched Madam Wang's lips and urged, "I've already forgiven you for your sake, Madam. Why hasn't Madam expressed her opinion yet?"

"Aa ...

Inside Lixiang Courtyard, the young actors were stretching and kicking their legs in preparation for rehearsals and honing their basic skills.
