The Red Mansion Big Liar

Zhang Yunyi nodded, but said: "Now is not the time..."

He roughly recounted the Emperor's request to deal with the remaining issues concerning Yuanchun's marriage himself.

"The emperor didn't want to make a big deal out of this, so he gave me the memorial..."

When Qin Keqing heard this, a hint of disappointment flashed across her face, and then her eyes lit up. She looked at Zhang Yunyi, then at Youshi, and seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

Zhang Yunyi saw it and understood what she meant.

Qin Keqing knew about Lady Xing and Lady Wang, and she just wanted him to follow the example of the Ningguo Mansion and take over their own place.

This was indeed in line with his thoughts, and he nodded calmly.

But he said: "Although we have to wait until the result of the disposal comes out, we have to remind the old lady first!"

The reason why he was so persistent and gave Aunt Xue a severe beating was not simply because he was still not satisfied.

Before this, he was so excited about the prey that he forgot about the ginseng for a moment.

After being reminded by Jin Chuan and Aunt Xue, he finally remembered.

Although it was confirmed by Zhang Dehui and Shuntian Prefecture that the fake ginseng sold was the result of the shop assistant deceiving his superiors and subordinates, the ginseng that belonged to Lady Jia were also confiscated along with it. After all, this matter was handled by Aunt Xue.

Since Lady Jia refused to accept the toast, he thought about asking around to see if he could involve Lady Jia in the matter.

Although Lady Jia did everything perfectly, there was still room for improvement.

After all, Wang Xifeng had reported the problem of that batch of ginseng to Lady Jia, and both he and Lady Jia knew it well.

If the case were brought to court, Grandmother Jia would still be able to deny it.

But Zhang Yun逸 didn't need to go through so much trouble. He could just report the whole story to the emperor.

On the one hand, Emperor Zhengqing had intended to let him control the Rongguo Mansion. As long as he could take advantage of the situation, even if it was just to give Lady Jia a slight warning, Lady Jia's confidence would be weakened when facing Zhang Yunyi in the future.

On the other hand, although the case of fake ginseng is clear, and the Xue family is at most lax in their control, there is no guarantee that they will not be held accountable and used as an excuse to make trouble.

If I can get a clear pass from the emperor, I won't have to worry about this anymore.

At that moment, Zhang Yun逸 asked Qingwen to grind ink, and in front of Qin Keqing and others, he wrote the memorial and blew dry the ink.

"Haha!" Qin Keqing sneered, "The old lady is usually so righteous, but she is so mean!"

"A penny can kill a hero, let alone her?"

As they were talking, Jin Chuan came back and reported, "Master! The concubine has been sent back!"

She hesitated for a moment, then continued, "My aunt said that Master agreed to have someone take her to Shuntian Mansion to see Master Xue tomorrow..."

"Ok!"

Zhang Yunyi nodded, handed her the memorial he had just written and said, "Tell Xier to take her to Shuntian Prefecture tomorrow, and then ask him to deliver this memorial to the palace and give it to Eunuch Zhou, and ask him to help present it to the emperor!"

Shuntian Prefecture needs to wait and see, and he also needs to conceal the emperor's attitude first, so as to prevent Ning Wang's faction from being on guard.

In addition, since the matter of fake ginseng has been reported to the emperor, we have to wait for the emperor's order on how to deal with it.

Therefore, he did not plan to rescue Xue Pan immediately.

Anyway, Li Mingyuan has already made arrangements, and Xue Pan won't suffer, so it's better to let him stay in jail for a while.

Having said that, Aunt Xue was still worried. She would not feel at ease unless she was allowed to meet Xue Pan.

Hence, this arrangement was made.
