The Red Mansion Big Liar

Because she didn't know the story, Yuanchun didn't make any associations. Instead, she exclaimed, "Isn't this... too extravagant?"

Zhang Yunyi shook his head and said, "This is to prepare for the Emperor's birthday. It is worth spending any amount of money. Although this glass mirror is valuable, the cost is not high. It is made of sand and other materials, so it is not extravagant."

As the creator of glass and the chief official of the Tiangong Academy, in order to make the show presented to the emperor on the Wanshou Festival perfect, what's wrong with using some mirrors?

Upon hearing this, Yuanchun no longer worried about the expenses, but just exclaimed: "Brother Yi really has the ability to turn decay into magic. He can actually use something as ordinary as sand to create something as amazing as glass."

She already knew that the glass was made by Zhang Yunyi, but she never expected that it was made of something as ordinary as sand.

Seeing a look of admiration on Yuanchun's face, Zhang Yunyi moved closer and hugged her again.

With his right hand tightly wrapped around the low part of her waist, he pressed Yuanchun tightly against himself. He looked down at the shy Yuanchun and said with a double meaning, "These are not worth mentioning. There are some unknown methods. I will let my sister know them little by little in the future!"

Chapter 369: Borrowing Strength

a long time.

Inside the Hanfang Pavilion, the four lips covered with silver threads slowly parted with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

The ancient marriage model determined that 99% of people got married first and then fell in love, or even had no love at all.

But youth is not guilty, long live hormones.

Even if someone grew up in such an environment, unless he or she is naturally cold-hearted, how could he or she resist the temptation of love at this age?

Especially, the other party is your future husband.

Under Zhang Yunyi's sweet words, gradual progress and persistent offensive, he gradually lost his composure.

Finally he was able to have sex with her.

After greedily taking a sip of the faint fragrance gushing out from the opposite side, Zhang Yunyi sighed, "One day without seeing you feels like three years have passed. The ancients were right! When I think of the old lady and the others still being with me and that I can't stay with my sister forever, I feel bad!"

Upon hearing this, Yuanchun was immediately overwhelmed with shame. She pushed Zhang Yunyi and said, "Brother Yi, you should go back quickly! Don't keep Grandmother and the others waiting for too long!"

Zhang Yunyi had not been seen for a long time, and others didn't know where he was, but Grandmother Jia knew where he was.

Although it was Grandmother Jia's instruction, but precisely because of this, Grandmother Jia had to interrogate her, which delayed her for several hours. How could she feel embarrassed?

However, facing Zhang Yunyi's deep affection, how could she bear to chase him away?

After hesitating for a moment, she suppressed her shyness and added, "Me too!"

Zhang Yunyi did not rush to follow suit, but instead spent a long while whispering to her, and then reluctantly said, "Then I will come to see my sister as soon as I am free."

Yuanchun nodded silently and watched him leave, feeling a little lost.

Compared with Yuanchun, Zhang Yun逸 was quite satisfied.

Again, don't rush things.

Although Yuanchun did not have the age barrier of Yingchun and others, she had only met them twice after all.

He had already reaped a lot today and it was getting late, so he might as well stop while he could.

Anyway, with the emperor's authorization, we have set a good example and the rest is just a matter of time.

However, Tanchun needs to be comforted urgently.

After returning to his backyard, he was not in a hurry to show up in front of Lady Jia and others.

Instead, she asked Jin Chuan to find an opportunity and bring Tanchun to Youshi's courtyard.

As it turned out, his prediction was correct.

"Brother Yi!"

Tanchun entered the house, but did not throw herself into the arms of the young man. Instead, she stood three or four steps away and bowed.

Zhang Yunyi pretended to be unaware and asked, "Sister, do you know where I went just now?"

"where?"

"Daguan Tower!" Zhang Yunyi shook his head helplessly, "Sister, don't you understand? What we expected was right. The old lady really meant that. Not only that, she talked to me about this matter years ago!"

Once a relationship becomes intimate, clues will inevitably be revealed in one's words and actions.

Yingchun was fine, as she was a submissive person and she knew the arrangements made by Lady Jia and Jia She. Even if she really noticed something, she would not have the courage to resist.

As long as you comfort them properly, they will regard you as their only support.

But Tanchun is different. Unlike Yingchun, she has already laid all the groundwork. Once she notices something, she will inevitably become suspicious and will not easily give in.

So, he simply came straight to the point and told Lady Jia all of her plans.

It also adds a sense of crisis to Tanchun.

As expected, Tanchun's expression changed immediately after hearing this, and she asked suspiciously, "Why did Brother Yi go to my sister's place?"

"Sister is so smart, you should understand my difficulties! Although I have informed the emperor, I still have to wait until after the Emperor's birthday. The old lady is pressing me step by step, how can I refuse? I really have no choice but to pretend to be submissive!"

At this point, he sighed and said, "After dinner, the old lady repeatedly told me that your sister got sick because of the hard work of rehearsals, and asked me to go and persuade her. I was also entangled again and again, so I went to visit her. Could it be that my sister doesn't believe me?"

When he said this, he looked deeply distressed.

"How could that be!" Tanchun denied it immediately. "This is the countermeasure that Brother Yi and I had discussed. How could I doubt Brother Yi because of this?"

"If that's the case, why is my sister still so aloof?"

Zhang Yunyi beat his chest and stamped his feet, saying, "I was afraid that my sister would worry. When I brought your sister back last time, I sensed the old lady's thoughts and resolutely refused to stay. After coming back, I have been avoiding suspicion and have not been around the mansion. I wanted to discuss countermeasures with my sister today, but I didn't expect..."

"No!" Seeing him so distressed, Tanchun quickly stepped forward.

However, she did not throw herself into his arms directly, but looked towards the door in an attempt to hide her true intentions.

Zhang Yunyi also took advantage of the situation and said, "Don't worry, sister. How could I not care about your reputation?"

After hearing this, Tanchun felt relieved and threw herself into his arms.

The incident had already begun in Qingtang thatched cottage, so it was naturally impossible for Zhang Yun逸 to continue pretending.

However, he did not cross the original red line.

After whispering in each other's ears for a while, Fang leaned close to Tanchun's ear and whispered, "I haven't been able to see you for so many days. I really miss you so much!"

Tanchun seemed a little uncomfortable. She hesitated in his arms for a few seconds, then leaned her head on his shoulder and asked, "What are you going to do, Brother Yi?"

"Sister, I'm afraid you don't know yet, but in order to get me to agree to this marriage, the old lady even let the second girl be a concubine in the dowry."

Seeing that Tanchun had just been able to catch her breath, she couldn't wait to ask, and Zhang Yun逸 dropped another bombshell.

"What!?" Tanchun looked at him in shock, obviously confused.

Zhang Yunyi secretly complained in his heart, no matter how smart you are, as long as your weak spot is found, there will be no problem of not being able to break through.

But he said helplessly: "Yes! I didn't expect the old lady to go to such lengths! If not, even if we had already discussed the countermeasures, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to help but tell her everything..."

At this point, he changed the subject and said, "But if I refuse verbally again after the old lady said that, I'm afraid I won't even be able to be a relative anymore, let alone..."

Tanchun was already confused at this time, and she didn't care to hide it anymore. She said anxiously: "If something goes wrong, once Brother Yi agrees, how can he regret it later?"

"Sister, do you not trust yourself, or do you not trust me? I have not promised anything. I am just following our previous agreement and pretending to be compliant, saying that I am not filial to my father."

He paused and said, "As long as our plan goes smoothly, the old lady will naturally not disobey the emperor's order. At that time, I will use this as an excuse to ask the old lady to let you replace your sister and marry into the family, and everything will be done naturally."

After hearing this, Tanchun was obviously relieved.

Then he asked tentatively, "The old lady loves my sister so much, and she is the legitimate daughter, and my second sister is the concubine. Isn't your heart moved, Brother Yi?"

Zhang Yunyi did not answer but asked: "Could it be that in my sister's eyes, I can change my original intention so easily?"

At this point, he hooked Tanchun's chin and said with a smile: "Since sister still has doubts, I can only let sister feel it for herself!"

Having said that, he leaned down.

Chapter 370 After-sales Guarantee

With the previous preparation, Tanchun already developed a sense of crisis, and not only responded enthusiastically, but also with a hint of flattery.

Zhang Yun逸 naturally would not miss such an opportunity. After some pulling and retreating, Tanchun's clothes were already in disarray and her collar was half open.

Although it is still inferior to Yingchun, it is still a big breakthrough.

Seeing that dinner time was approaching, he reached out and grabbed Tanchun's wrist, raised it in front of the two of them, and said meaningfully: "Third sister, you should understand my feelings now, right?"

Even though Tanchun was not a timid person, she still blushed and lowered her eyebrows when she saw the slender hand pulled in front of her.

"I believe that success depends on human effort. As long as we work together, we can definitely solve the problem perfectly."

Zhang Yunyi made another big promise at the right time, but then changed the subject and said, "However, we can't let the old lady know for now, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Tanchun nodded silently.

Although Yingchun is just a concubine's daughter, isn't Tanchun the same?

In order to help Yuanchun, Grandmother Jia even disregarded the reputation of the Rongguo Mansion and forced Yingchun to be a concubine.

If people knew what she had done, she would probably be treated even worse than Yingchun.

After all, when Yuanchun had not yet divorced, Grandmother Jia hoped that Yingchun would play the role of marriage alliance, and changing her mind at least felt a little guilty.

But it won't be like that for her.

And the first wife will definitely argue for this.

As for Lady Wang, she was lucky that she didn't blame her for competing with Yuanchun. How could she say anything good for her?

Now she finally understood why Jia She and Madam Xing were both trying to match up Yingchun, a nobody, while Madam Wang turned a blind eye and did nothing.

The news of Jia Zheng's request for imperial decree had spread throughout the Rongguo Mansion.

I'm afraid that Mrs. Wang had already seen through the clues and wanted to leave a way out for her own daughter, so she deliberately ignored me, a concubine's daughter.

The reason why Grandmother Jia was willing to let Yingchun be a concubine was probably to give an explanation to the first wife.

After all, given the personalities of Jia She and his wife, they care more about whether they can get enough benefits from Zhang Yun逸, rather than whether Yingchun can become a big shot.

It was because of this that she ignored the fact that after the success, she would replace Yuanchun and whether Yingchun would be included as a bonus.

Tanchun was very secretive about it, so Zhang Yunyi was naturally happy about it.

He held Tanchun's hand and said affectionately, "Sister, you already know what happened today, but there is no guarantee that the old lady will not find another way to make me go to the eldest girl in the future. If this really happens, please understand my difficulties and don't let your imagination run wild."

It would be fine if we didn't mention Yingchun's matter, but Yuanchun was Tanchun's number one enemy, so we had to take precautions in advance and not wait for her to discover the clues and then deal with her perfunctorily.

Although Tanchun knew it was inevitable, she still worriedly said, "But what if..."

"Don't worry!" Zhang Yunyi vowed, "No matter what, I won't let her surpass you!"

His words were half true and half false. As long as Yuanchun was a concubine, he would naturally not surpass Tanchun. But to Tanchun's ears, it was a guarantee to marry her as his wife.

Tanchun suddenly felt that all her efforts today were worth it.

"With what Brother Yi said, if I still hesitate, how can I be worthy of Brother Yi's sincere heart?"

"Well! We can talk about the future later. Let's get the preparations done first. I just watched the little actor's rehearsal and there are still some shortcomings..."

He took advantage of the situation and, under the pretext of preparatory work, told Tanchun about turning Hanfang Pavilion into a mirror room.

Tanchun did not suspect anything. Instead, she thought that he spared no expense in helping the young actors hone their acting skills, and she felt relieved.

Seeing that Tanchun had been fooled, he turned around and kissed her on the forehead lightly, and reminded her: "Sister, you should pack up first, and we will go separately."

When Tanchun heard this, she realized that it was getting dark and hurriedly urged Zhang Yunyi to go ahead.

Knowing that Tanchun still had to clean up, Zhang Yunyi went back to the side hall in the backyard first and invited everyone to have dinner in the flower hall.

Tanchun also took advantage of the chaos and blended into the team without being noticed.

Perhaps because she was anxious to go back and inquire about Yuanchun's progress, Grandmother Jia ate the meal very quickly.

After the meal, he hurriedly returned with everyone from Rong Mansion.

Zhang Yun逸 escorted them all the way to the front yard and watched Jia Mu and others get on the carriage. However, he saw that Jia She and Jia Lian did not leave with them, but instead came closer.

At noon, they followed Lady Jia to the house, but Zhang Yunyi was sent to the backyard to see someone off and was kept there. He had no time to greet them, so he asked Jia Rong to receive them on his behalf.
