The Red Mansion Big Liar

Ping'er glanced at her and said with a guilty look, "Do you... still want to say more?"

Wang Xifeng blushed when she heard this and scolded, "Who loves you to listen to him flattering him?"

She heard that he had been carried into the room, and she thought that what happened next would be unspeakable.

Ping'er felt relieved when she heard this. Since Wang Xifeng had said every word, if she continued to ask, she would have to repeat what Zhang Yunyi had said about inviting her to check the quality.

However, just as she was breathing a sigh of relief, Wang Xifeng's words frightened her.

"Go find him tomorrow and ask him to come over!"

Although it was not achieved in one step, it was the first step.

Moreover, Zhang Yun逸 was so impatient that he recruited Ping 儿, which gave her more confidence in her plan.

Thinking of this, he couldn't hide the excitement on his face.

Ping Er was shocked when she saw this, and said hesitantly, "Grandma... Grandma! You wouldn't..."

"Bah! What are you thinking?" Wang Xifeng spat, "I am from your family, so I can't stand him treating you badly. You know, men are cheap. The easier it is to get someone, the less they know how to cherish him. We can't compare with others. Your appearance and figure are not worse than Xiangling's. We are both designated concubines. Could it be that the Second Master's is outshined by Wenlong's?"

"This……"

Ping Erh heard this and suddenly thought of something. Just as she was about to speak, Wang Xifeng waved her hand impatiently, yawned and said, "Alright! I'm sleepy. Let's talk about it when we see him!"

As she spoke, she glared at Ping'er and said disdainfully, "You smell like a whore. Go wash yourself. You are not allowed to get into my bed tonight!"

Chapter 79: One Emotion, Two Sadnesses

In the morning, the sun is shining brightly.

The soil wetted by a sudden rain last night was filled with a fresh earthy fragrance under the shining summer sun.

However, Zhang Yunyi, who was jogging in the park, had a different feeling at this moment.

The indescribable stuffiness was like being in a sauna. In a short while, sweat started to flow down my cheeks and neck, soaking my clothes.

The clothes stuck to his body, outlining his strong and powerful muscles.

You Erjie, who opened the window, was seeing this agitated scene. She immediately blushed with shame, her cheeks flushed, and her heart beat faster. She hurriedly raised her hands to cover her face, while secretly glancing at the body that seemed to be cast in steel through her fingers.

Last night, Mrs. You had nothing to do, so she gave her some targeted guidance.

Although it is impossible to elaborate on the details, some false role-playing is inevitable.

Suddenly witnessing this majestic figure at this moment, one can't help but feel as if one is there.

When she thought that this body made of steel and iron would replace the delicate body of her elder sister Youshi, she suddenly felt a huge wave rushing towards her from behind.

She was so frightened that her face turned pale, her heart was beating fast, and her legs went weak. She couldn't help but stagger and fall against the window.

The same scene, seen by Qin Keqing who was peeping from inside Tianxiang Tower, was a completely different picture.

Although she is not like You Erjie, who has Youshi's teachings and examples, she has more than once put herself in Xiangling's perspective in the dead of night.

Yesterday, after seeing Zhang Yunyi showing off his power, I felt a surge of emotions in my heart.

In the evening, Ruizhu came to her house and gave an explanation that was only intended to cover up the truth, which made her feel uneasy.

But Baozhu was ignorant and kept asking questions, which made the situation clearer and more vivid, and also added a sense of being there.

Her eyes followed Zhang Yunyi's ups and downs, his rhythmic squats.

My heart is also up and down.

Zhang Yunyi finished his last set of squats as if no one was around. He stood up and went back into the house, and couldn't wait to take off his sticky undershirt.

Because the order was reversed yesterday, with Xiangling's help, he washed off the stickiness on his body and changed into a clean official uniform.

"Ah!~"

As soon as I came downstairs, I heard Ruizhu's scream from the next room.

Before Zhang Yunyi could go into the room to check, Ruizhu came out holding a bunch of sheets that had been cut into rags.

"Master, you never order anyone around, and you never say bad things to anyone. Who on earth hates you so much?"

Her pretty face was slightly cold, and she walked out holding the bed sheet, saying, "I want to see who gave her the courage..."

"Wait!"

Seeing the bed sheet being cut into pieces, Zhang Yunyi's face froze, and he quickly called out, "It's just a cut bed sheet. Maybe he encountered something and was upset, but he didn't dare to vent his anger on his own room. It's not worth making a fuss!"

"Master! This is no small matter! If you dare to cut the sheets to vent your anger today, you might dare to hurt me with scissors tomorrow."

"There are only some maids and old women in this garden. How could the master be hurt by them?"

Zhang Yunyi raised his arms and showed off his biceps.

He does not mean that.

Ruizhu lowered her head in thought after hearing this. The master was kind to everyone and never punished his servants. How could he be hated for no reason?

Last night's rain, although not as long as last time, came and went quickly, it was still raining heavily and with strong winds.

Moreover, when it was raining, he and Xiangling happened to stay in Tianxiang Tower. Perhaps because of this, he aroused the dissatisfaction of Jia Zhen, who had ulterior motives. This bed sheet might not be a vent for his anger, but a warning.

"Master! From now on, when I go to the young lady's place, please don't leave the door open for me, so that no one can sneak in again."

She wanted to remind him, but after glancing at Xiangling beside her and thinking about it, she decided to tell the master in private.

At the same time, I secretly made up my mind to practice the fitness method that the old man taught me.

"Ok!"

Zhang Yun逸 didn't know that the blame was put on Jia Zhen. He just thought he was trying to persuade her and quickly agreed.

As he was speaking, Ping'er came in and bowed, "Master Yi!"

"Uh..." Zhang Yunyi's face twitched, and he could only pretend to be relaxed and said, "You're here!"

We agreed last night that she would come here with her bond today, but I didn't expect her to come so soon and happen to see this scene.

Ruizhu and Xiangling were still in the dark, so they smiled and greeted, "Why is Miss Ping'er here?"

Ping'er glanced at the bed sheet in Ruizhu's arms and her face flushed immediately. She turned around and said, "Grandma asked me to invite you to talk about something!"

She was worried, and although she had cut off the traces last night, she was afraid that if she only cut one piece, people would see the secret, so she decided to go all out and cut the sheet until it could not be put together.

But now Ruizhu came out holding the bed sheet, and she didn’t know whether Uncle Yi had told them about it.

Zhang Yunyi frowned upon hearing this and said in a deep voice, "What does Sister-in-law Lian want to talk to me about?"

Although it was expected last night that things would not be that simple, it was only when Wang Xifeng asked Ping'er to come and look for her that her guess was confirmed.

"Grandma probably wants to do some business with Grandpa..."

Having said this, she glanced at Ruizhu and Xiangling.

Without waiting for Zhang Yunyi to speak, Ruizhu hurriedly said, "Master! Xiangling and I will go and burn this, so that no one will see it and cause trouble!"

After saying that, he pulled Xiangling and ran out.

After they left, Zhang Yunyi looked at Ping'er and said, "So, she didn't bring the indenture to you?"

Hearing this, Ping'er hurriedly explained, "I only found out about her thoughts last night when I went back to tell Madam. I didn't lie to you, Master!"

"I trust you, tell me what she thinks."

He didn't mind Wang Xifeng's request. If she was really impenetrable, how could he try to steal her away?

However, having said that, the idea cannot be revealed, lest she become greedy.

"I don't know the specific details, but..." She hesitated for a moment and said, "Grandma has always been strong-willed and doesn't want to be outdone by the concubine's family."

It was not appropriate for Wang Xifeng to tell Zhang Yun逸 about her arguments, so she thought of a compromise.

Zhang Yunyi snorted coldly and said, "So if I don't agree, does she intend to hold you captive?"

"This..." Ping'er hesitated, "Madam didn't say it, and I don't know it either."

Zhang Yunyi nodded and said with a double meaning, "The Xue family has been a royal merchant for generations, and they have some foundation in business. The master cooperated with the Xue family because he valued this point, but I don't know what advantages Lian's sister-in-law has to show?"

Without waiting for Ping'er to answer, he continued, "Don't rush to make a judgment for her. You might as well go back and tell Lian's second sister-in-law to let her think about it carefully. I have some things to do in the yamen for the time being. I will talk to her in detail after I finish this period! If she can't wait, let her come over by herself."

It's not that he was worried that Wang Xifeng would play tricks on him, but firstly, he wanted to keep Wang Xifeng on suspense; secondly, Qin Keqing's side was like the darkness before dawn, and in order to avoid losing the opportunity, he would not go out at night recently.

"Ah!" Ping'er agreed, then hesitated and said, "The bed sheet... I was afraid someone would see it, so I cut it back."

Zhang Yunyi nodded and said casually, "Did you bring it?"

"Yes!" Ping'er hurriedly took it out and handed it over.

Zhang Yunyi waved his hand and said, "Let her stay with you for now! If she wants to use this to blackmail me again, I won't make things difficult for you!"

He asked just to test Ping'er. After all, it was cut from his own room. If Ping'er made excuses, then her motive for cutting it last night might not be as simple as she said.

When Ping'er saw that he cared so much about her, a warm feeling suddenly surged in her heart.

"This is all grandma's plan. I am already yours, and I cannot let you take any responsibility for me!"

"Don't worry!" Zhang Yunyi shook his head and said, "I don't care about such a small matter! Tell me what you think."

"I am yours, so naturally you have the final say in everything. But grandma treats me like a sister. I hope you will not let me and grandma have a grudge against each other because of me."

Apart from her jealousy, Wang Xifeng was really nice to her in other aspects.

Zhang Yunyi nodded and said without comment: "Then you can go back first! I will talk to her later."

Chapter 80 The Second Grandma's Strengths

"Miss!"

Although Ruizhu repeatedly said that she didn't want anyone to see her so as to avoid trouble, she ran into Tianxiang Tower holding the bed sheet.

As soon as he entered the room, he winked at Baozhu and said, "Baozhu, you chat with Xiangling for a while. I have something to say to the young lady."

Ever since Ruizhu brought Xiangling to her house that day, Baozhu always thought that she was also secretly helping Zhang Yunyi.

Although she didn't understand the meaning at the moment, it was obvious that she had some wrong thoughts when she was holding the shredded sheets. She thought that she was holding Grandpa Yi's original sheets to make up for her grandmother.

He didn't dare to ask more questions and quickly pulled Xiangling aside to talk.

Qin Keqing was also confused. She looked at Ruizhu in a trance and asked in a trembling voice, "What...what happened?"

Last night, the master and his two servants had a late-night chat in bed, during which Ruizhu exaggerated how Zhang Yun逸 put official business first.

She was secretly worried. Ruizhu was so straightforward that she might have brought the evidence of Zhang Yunyi's suppression just to gain her trust, right?

"Miss!" Ruizhu pulled her to a deserted place behind the house and said, "It rained yesterday. I'm afraid Master Zhen is here again."

As she spoke, she handed over the bed sheet and said, "I stayed at Miss's place yesterday. The master left the door open for me. I saw this downstairs in the morning. I'm afraid he didn't mean to warn you!"

"Ah!~" Qin Keqing cried out softly, and at the same time a feeling of shame surged in her heart.

"Have you reminded your uncle?"

"Before, with Xiangling here, I couldn't say anything. I just reminded you to remember to close the door."

A trace of confusion appeared on her face, and she hesitated and said, "If I tell this to you, what if..."

When the incident first happened, she was thinking about reminding Zhang Yun逸 to be careful, but when she calmed down, she was worried that he would be frightened by Jia Zhen.

Feeling conflicted and in a dilemma, he decided to seek advice from Qin Keqing.

"Even if there is such a disaster, you can't let your uncle get involved, and you can't deliberately hide it from him!"

A trace of sadness appeared on Qin Keqing's face. The servants in Ning Mansion all had families with them. Although Jiao Da did not die in Ning Mansion, he died that night after being beaten on a farm outside the city.

Although Zhang Yun逸 is not comparable to Jiao Da, Jia Zhen has always been used to being unscrupulous. After all, he lives in Ningguo Mansion, Jia Zhen's own one-third acre of land. If he really wants to harm him, even if he dare not hurt his life openly, he may create some accidents.

Of course, her mentality is different now, and she is eager to know whether Zhang Yunyi will still insist on protecting her under such circumstances.

Therefore, even though he knew Ruizhu's worries were not unreasonable, he still made the decision without hesitation.

"Hey! I'll tell you tonight!"
