The Red Mansion Big Liar

"Hurry up and sit down!" Grandmother Jia asked him to sit down, and said with a smile, "You left in a hurry last time, and I didn't even have a sip of tea. I didn't have time to thank you and bring the eldest girl back."

"You are too kind, old lady. It's just a piece of cake!"

Since Lady Jia had sent the servants away, her intention was obvious, so Zhang Yun逸 simply pretended to be deaf and dumb.

"It's just a piece of cake for you, we can't take it for granted!"

"We are all family, why should you be so formal, old lady?" Zhang Yunyi practiced Tai Chi.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Jia's mother agreed with a smile, "Look, you and the eldest girl are not young anymore, why don't we arrange the marriage first..."

"Who?"

Zhang Yunyi even suspected that he had heard it wrong. He was not from the Rongguo Mansion. Even if Lady Jia really had this idea, she should at least discuss it with him. There was no reason for such forced sale.

"Big girl! Isn't the palace..."

Grandmother Jia also had her own grievances. If Yuanchun was not her granddaughter, she would be more willing to speak up.

But it was already difficult to bring up the idea of ​​being a matchmaker for one's own granddaughter, not to mention that Zhang Yun逸 was going to marry Yingchun, and the two sides had already reached a tacit understanding.

Now that they have changed their tune and replaced Yingchun with Yuanchun, how can she say that?

Although she was only guessing whether the emperor had given the order, even if she guessed wrong, she could avoid embarrassment by saying that she had guessed wrongly.

In fact, to be on the safe side, she did not directly point out the emperor, but only vaguely mentioned the word "palace".

After all, it is also possible that Concubine Zhen made the decision in order to make up for it.

I have to say, the older you are, the wiser you are. She played this trick beautifully.

In addition, since the emperor had arranged for the momentum, he might not fail to pass the news to the Rong Mansion. Zhang Yun逸 was caught off guard and believed it to be true for a while.

However, he was not without a response. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "The emperor does have this intention, but he also understands my difficulties..."

Although he didn't know that Lady Jia was just deceiving him and only told half the story, it didn't stop him from following her example.

After all, there is the matter of taking a concubine. Even if the emperor really sent the news to Rongfu, it would be impossible for him to be too explicit.

"The Emperor's will is supreme. How can you, a child, go against His Majesty's will?"

Although Grandmother Jia was complaining, she felt relieved in her heart. To her, this was already good news.

Although it is impossible to make the final decision, as long as the emperor's intention is confirmed, there will be no problem in convincing Zhang Yun逸.

For her, the best case scenario would naturally be to let Yuanchun replace Yingchun.

So, after confirming the emperor's intention, she immediately used his will to put pressure on others.

Zhang Yunyi said calmly: "Old lady, you are too serious. I just told the emperor about my difficulties. How can it be considered as going against the emperor's will?"

At this moment, he was extremely grateful that he had concealed the fact that Jia She sold his daughter. He also knew his plan in advance and calmly pushed Yingchun out as a shield.

Grandmother Jia patiently persuaded her, "As the saying goes, living with the emperor is like living with a tiger. Although you are now favored by the emperor, you cannot be arrogant. I think you should just follow the emperor's wishes..."

"How can that be possible? I, Zhang Yunyi, can't break my promise to anyone."

"You have always been a smart kid, why are you so stupid now?" Grandmother Jia quickly advised, "This is a matter between our two families. As long as we are willing, who would say anything to you?"

"Does my uncle mean the same thing?" Zhang Yunyi asked in false embarrassment.

"You don't have to worry about the master. I will explain to him. The emperor's will is supreme, and he will definitely not object!"

"This..." Zhang Yunyi pretended to be entangled for a while, shaking his head like a rattle, and said, "No, no! Please ask the old lady to take back your decision. I have only met the eldest girl once, but I have a lot in love with the second girl. After that incident last time, we decided to spend our lives together. How can I let her down?"

Grandmother Jia did not expect that Zhang Yun逸 would be so stubborn and would even go against the emperor's will for Yingchun.

If possible, she naturally did not want to embarrass herself by letting her granddaughter become a concubine. But now that she saw that Zhang Yunyi was deeply in love with Yingchun, she could only settle for the second best.

"Forget it!" Grandmother Jia sighed and said, "In this case, why not let the second girl marry with her sister? This way, we can have the best of both worlds. It will satisfy the emperor's wishes and also satisfy your sincerity!"

"This... Although Ehuang and Nuying have existed since ancient times, how can this be done? What virtue and ability does Yunyi have?" Zhang Yunyi looked tangled. He pondered for a long time before saying, "Besides, there is a difference between the old and the young, and the eldest girl is the legitimate daughter... Could it be that..."

Before he could finish his words, Grandmother Jia interrupted him and said, "Of course not! The eldest of the legitimate and illegitimate children should be the concubine!"

Seeing Zhang Yunyi remained silent, she pondered for a moment and added, "They are sisters. The eldest lady will not treat her harshly. You are affectionate and righteous. Even if she becomes your concubine, she will not be wronged."

"That being said, I have made a promise to the master after all. How could he agree to it?"

"I will explain it to him myself, and I won't make it difficult for you!"

"Then... Madam, please let me think about it!" At this point, Zhang Yunyi stopped and said, "If the eldest master really doesn't care, it's not impossible! But I am still in mourning for my father, and I explained my difficulties to the emperor last time, so please let me have some time."

He just thought that the emperor sent someone to greet the Rong Mansion, and it was impossible for him to disobey the emperor in public, so he could only make a fuss about his wives and concubines.

The timing is not yet ripe, so the only option is to use the tactic of procrastination. First, let Jia She empty out Lady Jia's private money, and then wait for the Rong Mansion's finances to run into problems.

Grandmother Jia also said, "This is what I should do!"

Chapter 355 Achievement Achieved

When he left Rongqing Hall, it was already past noon and it was getting dark, but he did not linger in the mansion.

He went straight out of the east corner gate and came to Jia She's east wing.

"Yun Yi, you are finally here! What did the old lady say?"

Jia She had been waiting for a long time and quickly welcomed the person into the warm room.

Zhang Yunyi did not answer. He waited until he entered the warm room before asking, "Where is the first wife?"

"I'm coming! I'm coming!" Mrs. Xing, who rushed over after hearing the news, pushed the door open with her wet hair tied up in a circle, swaying her waist and hips.

Zhang Yun逸 shrugged his shoulders, put on a lot of airs, and shook his cloak. Mrs. Xing immediately understood and went forward to help him take off the cloak and hung it on the hanger inside the house.

"Hurry up and prepare the food and drinks!"

Jia She was obviously embarrassed when he saw this scene, and he took the opportunity to give orders to hide his embarrassment.

"No need!" Zhang Yunyi waved his hand and said, "Don't bother with the food!"

Then he changed the subject and said, "However, the eldest wife left in a hurry. I haven't seen her for a few days. She is really missed!"

As he spoke, he waved to Madam Xing, who immediately came over.

Zhang Yunyi loosened her hair which was tied up in a circle, and when her black hair fell down, water droplets slid down the hair stuck to her neck.

He eagerly put his arms around Madam Xing's slender waist, leaned close to her neck, sniffed it fiercely, and said with a wicked smile, "Madam, you smell so good!"

"Master!" Mrs. Xing said coquettishly and put her hand on his shoulder.

Jia She looked at his nose, and then at his heart. He lowered his head, and his eyes wandered between Zhang Yun逸 and Madam Xing for a moment. He nodded and said, "Then I shall..."

Zhang Yunyi waved his hand to interrupt, "I'm afraid the old lady will come to see you soon, so don't delay, let's talk about the business at once!"

"Hey! Hey!" Jia She immediately put on an appearance of listening attentively.

Zhang Yunyi ignored him. Instead, he grabbed Mrs. Xing's perky breasts from behind, lifted her up upright, and brought her to the table.

After he put Madam Xing sitting on the table, he lifted up her collar, put his hands around her thighs around her waist, and moved forward.

Mrs. Xing had been extremely flattering at first, but now she became a little flustered and embarrassed.

"Master! There are outsiders here!"

Although Zhang Yunyi had said beforehand that he wanted to let Jia She know how much he loved her, she just thought it was just a casual act and never expected that he would actually take real action in front of Jia She.

"Hey!" Zhang Yunyi ignored Mrs. Xing's coyness and didn't even look at Jia She, who was embarrassed. He said in a pretentious manner, "Who told the master to love you so much and can't wait for a moment?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xing couldn't help but regret that she had tied herself up in a cocoon.

She just thought that Zhang Yunyi was worried that Jia She would make things difficult for him and wanted to give him some drastic measures, so he acted so impatient on purpose.

It was not easy to tell Jia She directly in front of him that he didn't need to act so realistically, so he could only hope that Jia She would have some shame and leave on his own initiative.

Jia She was indeed a little impatient to stay there. After all, he was not Jia Lian, who was waiting for treatment.

However, before he could open his mouth, Zhang Yunyi spoke first: "The old lady just came to me and wanted me to marry the eldest girl instead and make the second girl a concubine!"

"Ah!~"

"what?"

Jia She and Madam Xing exclaimed in unison.

However, Mrs. Xing couldn't help herself, and her voice became a little euphemistic.

But Jia She was surprised and a little confused.

" He no longer cared about the awkward situation and quickly asked: "Then...what did you say?"

Zhang Yunyi tied Madam Xing's legs around his waist, untied her bound hands, and rubbed them like dough, saying slowly, "Don't worry! I'll give you a hand. Since you are willing to spend so much money, I have to help you for the sake of the first wife!"

"Hey! Hey!" Jia She was overjoyed when he got the confirmation. He didn't care about the embarrassment at all. He glanced at Mrs. Xing who was lying on the table with her hands covering her face. He swallowed and said with a flattering face, "Thank you very much!"

Zhang Yunyi nodded and said calmly, "I've told the old lady that I will only consider this matter if you nod your head. How to do it, I don't need to teach you, right?"

"No need! No need!"

Jia She originally thought that he could help conceal the sale of his daughter, which was already a great thing, but he did not expect such a pleasant surprise, so he quickly responded.

As if he felt that Zhang Yunyi had suffered a loss, he said to Madam Xing in a bossy manner: "It's your blessing that Yunyi likes you. Why are you ashamed?"

"This is none of your business!" Zhang Yunyi said unhappily, "Thank you for calling me Master, so you don't have to mind your own business."

At this point, he warned, "Remember this! I am doing this for her sake. From now on, she is mine, and you can no longer order her around, or scold her or order her around. Do you understand?"

"Of course!" Jia She nodded like a chicken eating rice.

As he was speaking, a message suddenly came from outside: "Master, Madam! The old lady invites you to come over!"

"This……"

Upon hearing this, Jia She looked at Zhang Yun逸 unconsciously. He didn't know what to do and hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should stop.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yunyi spoke first and said without question: "I have said everything I need to say. The old lady is just doing your job. There is no need for her to go over. She should stay with me. You can go over by yourself!"

Jia She thought so too. Now that he had Zhang Yunyi's imperial sword, he felt confident in bargaining with Lady Jia.

Mrs. Xing had no decision-making power. Instead of disturbing Zhang Yunyi's interest because of Lady Jia's order, it would be better to coax him to prevent him from regretting it.

He quickly ordered outside: "Go tell them, I'll be there in a moment!"

It’s not that he didn’t want to go out directly, but he was worried that if he opened the door, someone would see what was going on inside.

"Eh!"

After hearing the response from outside and the footsteps faded away, he walked cautiously to the door.

He opened the door a crack first, looked around, and saw that no one was approaching outside, so he was about to open the door and go out.

Suddenly, Zhang Yunyi's voice came from behind: "This time, consider it my compensation to you. How much you can make depends on your ability. The old lady has a lot of private money, but she is very rich!"

He was afraid that Jia She was not ruthless enough, so he spoke up to give a reminder.

Jia She thought he was just returning the favor, so he quickly thanked him, "I don't need to thank you for your kindness! I feel relieved now that you said that!"

After leaving the warm room, close the door.

In the warm room, he could only bow and nod. When he came to the courtyard, he immediately took out the momentum of the eldest master and shouted at the servants in the courtyard: "Yun Yi and the Madam are discussing important matters. All of you get out of here. Stay outside the courtyard and don't let anyone disturb you. No one is allowed to enter this courtyard without your permission!"

Jia She was also an old hand at this. Although Mrs. Xing tried her best to suppress her, he could see that she was on the verge of losing control of herself. He was afraid that she would make some noise and be heard by the servants, so he sent people away in advance.

After leaving the courtyard, he couldn't help but look back in the direction of the warm room.

I can't help but sigh that young people are still more creative.

I originally thought that Zhang Yunyi came from an ordinary family and was not very interested in sensual pleasures, but I didn't expect that he was so good at it. I don't know where he learned it.

Thinking of this, he suddenly understood.

I have long heard that Prince Zhongshun indulges in sensual pleasures and even organized an exchange meeting. Zhang Yun逸 already has a close relationship with Prince Zhongshun, so could it be that he is just learning by analogy?

Although the scene just now was a bit embarrassing, it also gave me a different feeling.

He made up his mind that he must ask Zhang Yunyi to introduce him to the famous exchange fair.

However, he couldn't afford to be distracted at the moment, so he shook his head quickly and collected his thoughts.

He shook his head and paced away, thinking secretly how to bargain with Lady Jia.
