The Red Mansion Big Liar

How could Yingchun utter a single word?

She was dizzy and was half-hugged and half-carried by Zhang Yunyi. The two of them stumbled into the inner room like conjoined twins.

After lying on her back on the bed in the bedroom, Yingchun gasped and opened her eyes with difficulty. Only then did she realize that everything in front of her had become clear without her noticing.

This kind of thing had happened several times in Qingtang thatched cottage, and Yingchun was already familiar with it, so there was no way she would ruin the atmosphere.

However, just as she was about to call Siqi, she heard Zhang Yunyi say seriously, "Today is my sister's birthday. Sending someone else away is not enough to express my feelings. Only by giving myself to my sister can I express my feelings to her. Do you like it?"

If this were said in modern times, it would sound greasy, but Yingchun has obviously not been exposed to those greasy TV dramas.

She even couldn't understand the meaning of how to accept Zhang Yunyi as a living person. She raised her head and looked at him in a daze.

Zhang Yunyi was also at a loss when he saw this. He didn't know how to explain it, so he just pretended to be affectionate.

He said with a painful expression, "Whether you are unwilling or deceiving yourself, even if I cannot marry you, I will let you come to Ning'an Hall first and be the real mistress for a few days to fulfill my wish. Are you willing to fulfill this small request of mine?"

Since Yingchun has been taken home by Jia She to celebrate her birthday, what's the harm in letting her stay a few more days?

Therefore, Zhang Yunyi had no intention of letting her go even after her birthday.

However, although he wanted to hide his beauty in a golden house, he would first make the second young lady of Rongguo Mansion familiar to him.

But in Yingchun's view, how could this be considered fulfilling his wish?

It was obvious that he was still thinking about her. Although she noticed that this time was different from the previous feints, when the love was so strong, how could Yingchun have the heart to reject his kindness?

Chapter 396 The beauty hidden in the golden house

The spring sunshine shines on the peach trees outside Ning'an Hall, awakening the sleeping buds.

The branches sway gently, and the petals gradually unfold, like a girl's cheeks, delicate and shy.

The color of the petals changes from light pink to deep red, just like clouds rising in the sky, both gentle and warm.

Each petal is a carefully carved work of art, as thin as a cicada's wing, soft as silk and satin, slightly translucent and crystal clear.

As the breeze blows, the peach trees sway gently, and the peach blossoms dance in the wind. The air is filled with a faint floral fragrance that is both fresh and sweet, which seems to dispel all sorrow and fatigue and make people linger.

Under the peach tree in the yard, Zhang Yun逸 was sweating profusely.

The winter jasmine in front of Ning'an Hall, with its beautiful smile, complements the peach blossoms opposite, forming a beautiful spring picture.

After finishing a set of punches, Zhang Yunyi stopped and walked towards Yingchun with a smile.

Yingchun walked up to him quickly with a satisfied look on her face, and couldn't wait to take out a handkerchief from her bosom and carefully wipe the sweat off his forehead.

Zhang Yunyi grabbed her wrist, suddenly hugged her horizontally, bent down and kissed her on the forehead, then smiled and said, "Since you want to wipe it, why don't you accompany me to take a bath and wipe it slowly in the bathroom!"

After saying that, he strode with his head held high, holding the shy Yingchun in his arms, and walked towards the bathroom.

Soon, the sound of waves and groans came one after another.

……

Yingchun stayed there for nearly half a month.

This has been almost the daily routine for the past half month.

The reason why it is almost...

Even though she is the eldest wife, she cannot favor one wife exclusively. Yingchun is a sensible person, so she has to treat him equally.

Anyway, with Jia She and Madam Xing helping him cover up, he was not worried about the matter being exposed.

As for Grandmother Jia...

Although Zhang Yunyi sounded aggrieved in front of Yingchun, he was worried about breaking up with the Rong family and could not refuse Lady Jia's alternative plan.

In fact, facing him who held the evidence that Jia She sold his daughter, Jia's mother could only be cautious.

Not to mention the evidence of drugging.

Before Yingchun's birthday, he was still worried that Lady Jia would not release her for the sake of her reputation.

After all, she had to establish a good image in front of the other girls, so it was impossible for them to go and snatch people away.

Now that the matter has been settled, it is now Lady Jia's turn to swallow the bitter pill.

I don't know how long it took before the noise in the bathroom gradually subsided.

A few moments.

Yingchun, with chapped cheeks and wet black hair, walked out of the bathroom slowly with Zhang Yunyi.

Siqi in the side hall had already prepared breakfast. The two of them walked to the table hand in hand and sat down next to each other.

"This was picked this morning and just delivered to the mansion. Jinchuan just brought it here."

Zhang Yunyi listened to Siqi's introduction, took a bite of the strawberry Yingchun brought to his lips, and put it in his mouth with his slender jade fingers, muttering: "It's wronged that you stay in this yard all day and can't go to Huifang Garden to relax!"

Huifang Garden is separated from Daguan Garden by only a wall, and the Daguan Tower where Yuanchun lives is high up and is almost as high as Dengxian Pavilion.

In order to avoid being seen by the sisters in the Grand View Garden, Yingchun could only be hidden in the backyard when she appeared in her own house.

Yingchun buried her head in his chest, arched her back and said, "As long as I can be with Brother Yi, I can be anywhere!"

Zhang Yunyi pretended to be angry and asked, "Why are you still calling me sister?"

Yingchun raised her head shyly, squinted her eyes, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "Husband...I am already very satisfied."

Zhang Yunyi pinched the tip of her nose and nodded with satisfaction.

This period of time was like a dream to Yingchun, making her almost think she was in a dream, yet the feeling was so real.

Although she did not preside over the affairs of the mansion, she tried everything that a couple should and should not do.

Given Yingchun's personality, she wouldn't dare to stay there openly.

Fortunately, Zhang Yun逸 was well prepared and asked Mrs. Xing to cooperate with him. They staged a bargaining scene and finally gave her away with silver. He also used the reason that Mrs. Xing was unable to move and might be discovered if she went back, which made Yingchun feel a little relieved.

However, even so, Yingchun was still frightened.

But gradually, she became content and even enjoyed the act of pretending to be a couple.

During this period, she felt at ease and comfortable. She wished time would stop and she could live like this forever.

However, this obviously conflicts with Zhang Yun逸's ideas.

Although Yingchun's gentleness and Siqi's wildness formed a sharp contrast, it really made him linger.

Even if he has a beautiful girl in his house, if he continues to pretend to be deaf and dumb, Grandmother Jia and Jia She may not say anything.

But if you stand by the river for a long time, you will get your feet wet. Ten days or half a month is okay, but if you live there for a long time, it is hard to avoid being noticed.

In particular, when Youshi finished her confinement and returned home, her sisters would come to visit her.

He was thinking this in his mind, but he said, "The day before yesterday, the master asked the mistress to come and urge us again. I had to persuade you to stay for one more day. I thought that my second sister would be in labor soon, and she would have to stay outside the city for a while in two days. I'm afraid you would be bored at home alone."

Although the purpose is the same, the effects are completely different.

First put the blame on Jia She, and then mention that when she leaves, they will move out of the city, so Yingchun will feel less disappointed.

Sure enough, Yingchun looked a little sad when she heard this, but she nodded very sensibly and said, "I am already content to be able to spend such a long time alone with my husband."

Zhang Yunyi hugged her slender waist, pulled her into his arms, and said softly, "Don't worry, I'll think of a way to convince the master and the mistress in a few days to let you come over and stay for a while."

I swear to God, he was telling the truth. What happened to Jia She and Lady Xing was just a greeting, and there was no exaggeration involved.

However, to hear these words in Yingchun's ears, it would cost a lot to have enough foreplay.

If it were in the past, Yingchun would have felt sorry for him and would have declined.

Now, instead of refusing, she nodded expectantly and agreed to his arrangement.

Zhang Yunyi had to go to the yamen later and could not see Yingchun off, so they had to flirt with each other and say some shameless and cheesy love words, whispering in each other's ears for a while before leaving the side hall.

After leaving the courtyard, he was about to go to Huifang Garden to find Jinchuan, but he saw her standing in front of the Neiyi Gate, looking forward to seeing him.

Zhang Yunyi looked back, then quickly stepped forward and said as he walked, "It's good that you're here! Go to the East Courtyard later and ask the eldest wife to come over and take the second young lady back!"

Of course, Jia She's urging was completely false. Mrs. Xing would only cooperate and would not expose him anyway, so it made no difference whether it came first or later.

"Hoo!" Jin Chuan agreed and hurriedly caught up, "I'll go in a moment."

Seeing that Jin Chuan agreed and did not leave, but followed closely behind, Zhang Yunyi asked: "What? Is there anything else?"

"I have already divided the freshly picked strawberries from the farm and will send them there later. I was wondering if you have any other instructions."

It seemed like she was asking unnecessary questions, but in fact, it was better to be cautious.

Zhang Yunyi trusted his employees, pinched Jinchuan's cheek, nodded and said, "I trust you to do the job, you can handle the rest yourself, remember to follow my instructions Miss Lin!"

When Jin Chuan heard this, a strange look flashed in her eyes, and she hurriedly said, "Don't worry, sir!"

Chapter 397: Prepare for a Rainy Day and Replenish Inventory

Zhang Yun逸 had the attitude of trusting people when he employed them, but to Jin川, it was encouragement to her.

Yingchun was not in a hurry to go home, as she saw that Zhang Yunyi was intending to do something secretive and conceal the truth.

Just as he returns to the garden to welcome spring, he finds himself delivering strawberries the next moment. It is best to avoid this kind of behavior that is incompatible with others.

So, after seeing Zhang Yunyi off, she happily called a few maids, brought several baskets of strawberries, entered the Grand View Garden, and went straight to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

When Zijuan welcomed her into Xiaoxiang Pavilion, she smiled and said, "Miss! These are the strawberries I picked this morning. I was the first one to bring them to you."

Originally, when Zijuan collected the dressing mirror for her last time, she had already tacitly agreed and accepted it.

If Jin Chuan didn't mention the order of priority, she would be happy to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

At this moment, although he felt very relieved, he had to pretend to be angry and said, "Didn't I tell you last time to send it to Big Sister first? Why did you send it here first?"

"Miss!" Jin Chuan knelt down on the ground exaggeratedly and said sadly, "It was not my own decision. I hope you will have mercy on me. Otherwise, I will not be able to complete my mission..."

Lin Daiyu's eyelids twitched, and she hurriedly asked, "Why didn't you tell Brother Yi what I said?"

"Why didn't I tell you?" Jin Chuan looked up at Lin Daiyu and said, "I told you everything the young lady said, word for word, and I couldn't have made it any clearer than I thought. But you insisted on doing so, and even told me over and over again to make sure to send it to the young lady first."

Lin Daiyu seemed relieved when she heard this. She quickly stood up and pulled Jin Chuan up, saying, "Forget it! Since Brother Yi insists on doing this, I can't make things difficult for you."

"Thank you for your consideration, young lady!" Jin Chuan half-reluctantly stood up from the ground. "Madam You is about to give birth. The master will be out of town in the next few days. I'm afraid he won't be able to come to visit you. I specially asked this servant to tell you to take care of yourself. If you feel uncomfortable, send someone to ask Master Zhen to come and see you. The master has already informed you."

He always put himself first and took good care of her before she left, which made Lin Daiyu feel dazed.

He even forgot to order tea. Fortunately, Zijuan seized the opportunity and filled the gap.

I said some words of thanks to Jinchuan and asked her to convey them.

Jin Chuan agreed to everything and then stood up to say goodbye.

Lin Daiyu stood up to see her off, but Jin Chuan quickly declined, saying, "Miss, please stay. Don't bother me!"

Seeing this, Zijuan hurriedly said, "I'll go see Sister Jinchuan off!"

After sending Jin Chuan out of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Zijuan's face was full of expectation, and she hesitated to say, "Sister... Master, do you have any instructions for me?"

Jin Chuan smiled and said, "Master said that as long as you serve the young lady attentively, I will never treat you unfairly in the future!"

The previous words were all Jin Chuan’s own understanding.

Zhang Yun逸 had given many warnings before, but this was the only sentence he said.

Although it is unlikely that Lin Daiyu would let Zijuan test her, it is better to be cautious. Zhang Yunyi still gave her advice and taught her this set of rhetoric.

There is nothing wrong with this statement. Smart people don't need to say it too directly, as long as they understand the meaning.

With this assurance, Zijuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and was eager to express her gratitude.

Although Yingchun was not there, she had another taste of fresh food at Ningguo Mansion.

But firstly, it can be seen that Zhang Yun逸 is very caring towards Yingchun, so the servants around him will naturally increase their prices. If Yingchun doesn't eat it, he can give it to the servants as a reward. Secondly, in order to put on a complete show, it is better to pretend that he doesn't know where Yingchun is.

Therefore, after leaving Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Jin Chuan walked the same path again according to the same procedure as last time.

You can call her snobbish or materialistic.
