The Red Mansion Big Liar

While fetching water, Ping'er consoled her, "Grandma, you can't blame your master for this. After all, it's a marriage!"

"Humph! What? Are you worried that I'll ruin your business?"

"How could I? But if Madam had told me in advance, even if I couldn't help persuade her, I could at least tell you about your difficulties in advance, so there might be room for maneuver."

"Are you blaming me?"

"The slaves dare not!"

As they were talking, the water had already been drawn. Ping'er was about to go in to serve, but was stopped outside the door by Wang Xifeng.

"I don't dare to order you around anymore!"

After saying that, he closed the door with a bang.

Ping Erh did not suspect anything, thinking that she had hit a snag with Zhang Yunyi and had nowhere to vent her anger, so she hurriedly advised: "Master has his own difficulties, too. If Madam blames me, I will ask Sister Shan to come in..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a sound of a door being bolted.

"Go wherever you want and don't bother me!"

"Then I will be on guard outside. If you need me, just call me."

Wang Xifeng ignored him and turned to the bathtub. She took off her clothes but did not rush into the bathtub.

Instead, he squatted down, pinched the corner of the skirt, turned the skirt over from the inside, then pinched the waist of the skirt and lifted it up from the ground.

When she saw a few spots scattered on her skirt, she felt as if she was pricked by a needle. She hurriedly threw the skirt away and spat on the ground with a look of disgust.

Then, he bent down, scooped up water from the bathtub and poured it on him.

After her skirt was completely wet, she still felt unsafe, so she squatted down and grabbed the skirt and started rubbing it.

As the powerful second wife of the Rongguo Mansion, she had never done such a job before. The more she did it, the more aggrieved she felt. When she thought about what happened today, she became even more angry.

After finally rubbing off all the marks on her skirt, she stood up, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and unconsciously lowered her head. Her eyes swept over her fair, smooth, and unloved body, finally stopping on her flat belly.

Just now thinking of the humiliation he suffered today, he couldn't help but recall the details. The filthy stick was stuck between the two of them, and they struggled and rubbed against each other. If it were Jia Lian, even if he didn't surrender, he wouldn't be able to stop at the brink of disaster, let alone be like Zhang Yunyi, who didn't drag his feet and withdrew as easily as he said.

I'm afraid Ping'er's evaluation is a bit exaggerated, but it's not an exaggeration...

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a warm current flowing from the bottom to the top, along the meridians of my body, instantly spreading to my limbs and bones.

For a moment, I felt my bones and muscles were numb, and I felt an unbearable itching and soreness as if ants were gnawing at my heart.

My feet were already wet, and I felt my legs were unstable. I hurriedly grabbed the tub and finally managed to steady myself.

She quickly put aside all distracting thoughts, stepped into the bathtub, and immersed her whole body in it.

Zhang Yunyi was unwilling to help, which showed that the three parties were already tied together. He was afraid that Baochai's ascension to the throne was a foregone conclusion and he was powerless to change the situation.

Previously, she was quite confident in herself and had never thought about the possibility of failure, but now she has to reconsider.

The only solution now is to make more money to keep yourself safe, otherwise you will have no chance to make money in the future.

She couldn't help but feel a little regretful. She shouldn't have lost her temper and said those last words.

This time, not only did he fail to threaten him, but he also broke up with him and lost a way to make money.

She prided herself on being good at calculating, but unexpectedly, she didn't gain any advantage over Zhang Yunyi.

Although he said harshly, if Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang knew his tricks behind the scenes, they would probably take away his power as the housekeeper before Baochai got married.

So, even though we have broken up now, we must not really fall out with each other.

However, it would have been fine if Ping'er had lost, but she was in his hands and was taken advantage of by him, without gaining any benefit at all.

As the feeling of humiliation surged into my heart again, I felt more and more unwilling.

It was all Zhang Yunyi's fault for acting too rashly and not giving himself any room to maneuver, which resulted in him panicking and not knowing what to do.

In the end, he made one stupid move after another. He failed to threaten Ping'er, and when he asked him to name a price, he didn't even try to back off.

If I could start over again...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but be stunned.

Ping'er usually serves her, but today she has to do it herself. She rubs her body aimlessly while thinking about her worries.

The pair of white and slender hands were slowly stroking the long legs with well-proportioned flesh from top to bottom.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to her mind.

Not to mention Zhang Yunyi's anxious look, even those reactions couldn't deceive people.

Even though he has extraordinary self-control, once he gets too carried away with things like this, how can he stop?

It was simply that the critical moment of wanting to stop had not yet arrived. If he had delayed for a moment, he could have bargained with him, or even taken advantage of the struggle to let him speculate and buy shares...

Even if it is steel that has been tempered a hundred times, it will eventually become as soft as silk, right?

By then, I'm afraid that not only will they not be willing to withdraw, but they will also have to kneel down in front of me and beg for mercy.

She couldn't help but regret that she didn't take Ping'er's words to heart, so that she failed to anticipate the enemy's moves.

However, this is ultimately a double-edged sword. I am afraid that it will be easy to add fuel to the fire but difficult to calm down, and Zhang Yunyi will not be easy to get rid of.

What happened today made her realize clearly how powerful Zhang Yunyi was. How could a weak woman like her resist?

Perhaps I can use Jia Lian's thoughts to make myself perfunctory with the tricks I have changed...

Thinking of this, her body trembled suddenly.

Then, he suddenly stood up and fled from the bathtub like a flash.

He stood by the tub for a long while, sniffed again, then picked up the bath towel helplessly and wiped it roughly.

After drying herself and putting on a light gauze skirt, she shouted to the outside, "Ping'er! Ask outside to bring another bucket of water!"

Ping Erh heard the voice and said, "Madam! But the water is cold. Do you want to add some hot water?"

Wang Xifeng scolded, "Why add hot water in such a hot day! Change the bathtub, this one will be dumped out later."

She thought for a moment and added, "I can't wash it clean by myself, come in and help me later!"

"Hey!" Ping'er knew that Wang Xifeng was always strong-willed. Seeing that she took the initiative to ask her to serve, she understood what was going on and said with joy, "Don't worry, ma'am. I'll ask you in a few days to see if there is any way to have both of us."

Although Wang Xifeng inside the door did not speak, she did not object either.

Now that she has fallen out with Zhang Yunyi, one of them has to take the initiative to give in. Although she is unwilling to lower herself, she can ask Ping'er to mediate.

She knew that Ping'er had always been soft-hearted. She had felt that she was the one who was going to frame Zhang Yunyi, so she was inevitably on his side.

Now that they have seen my hidden worries, they will most likely be willing to help.

As for whether or not to try Zhang Yunyi again, she felt her heart tremble at the thought and couldn't make up her mind for a while.

Before this, she had imagined what would happen if it was Jia Lian who took over. Wouldn't that be flattering her own man?

How could such steel and iron be compared with Jia Lian's sharp thorns?

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 93 The family was arranged clearly

The front hall of Ning Mansion.

Jia Zhen raised his glass and clinked it with Zhang Yunyi's, then said indirectly, "Yunyi! I'm telling you, there's a lot of hidden stuff in this glass. You can't sell it to anyone or set a price like snowflake cotton candy. If you don't understand something, tell me and I'll help you figure it out."

"It is not the time to consider these things yet. The factory is too small, so we will focus on using it in the palace first. Once the new factory is built, we will consider selling it to other places. I will trouble you then."

Zhang Yunyi said perfunctorily, then changed the subject and said, "Some of the lampshades produced recently do not conform to the palace regulations. I will bring some back to replace them in the mansion later."

Jia Zhen could not entrust his wife to someone else without asking for something in return, even though all his compensation was given to Youshi, which could not even be calculated in billions.

But Jia Zhen had not gained any benefits after all, so he had to give him some hope. It just so happened that he could do something that would benefit him and just pass it on.

It is said to be non-compliant with regulations, but in fact it is a defective product with slight defects.

However, the glass lampshade was his first invention, and he had no reference. In addition, it was discarded from the palace, so even if it had some flaws, they were insignificant. Moreover, glass is very valuable nowadays, so even if it has some flaws, it would not feel shabby to use.

Although he had never seen the glass kang screen that Wang Xifeng had in person, he learned from Jia Rong that it was also uneven and had major flaws.

After all, there was no technology for flat glass.

Upon hearing this, Jia Rong immediately smiled and said, "Oh! This is really very impressive! I'm afraid that apart from the palace, our family is also the first to use this, right? I toast to uncle!"

Jia She came back empty-handed at noon and returned home in disappointment after lunch.

Without the women from the Rong Mansion, the dinner seemed much quieter, but Madam Xing did not leave, so the dinner was still divided into inside and outside areas.

Zhang Yun逸 was unwilling to go to the backyard, but was pestered by Mrs. Xing, so he simply went to the front hall and had a meal with Jia Zhen and his son.

Looking at the wine glass that Jia Rong was holding up, he declined, "There is an order of seniority, and if you want to toast, you should toast your father first! Could it be that your nephew doesn't regard Uncle Yi as a family member, but treats him as a guest?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Rong looked at his father with fear.

When Jia Zhen heard Zhang Yun逸 call him a family member, he immediately smiled and rarely did he scold Jia Rong.

"Yes! We are all family, listen to your Uncle Yi!"

"My younger brother has just entered the officialdom and is not very experienced in the world. He will have to rely on me more in the future!"

Zhang Yunyi said, holding up his wine glass, "I'll toast to you, brother!"

In addition to avoiding Mrs. Xing, he had another consideration.

As the saying goes, wine is the medium of lust. Jia Zhen drank a lot of wine at noon, which might have aroused his thoughts of Qin Keqing.

If it were a different time, he wouldn't mind catching him in the act and reporting it to Jia Jing.

However, I had not expected to receive the reward today, and I had already made an appointment to go to Doufengxuan in the evening to inspect the results.

In order to prevent Jia Zhen from causing trouble and affecting his performance, he planned to get him drunk to avoid ruining his good deeds.

Jia Zhen had no doubt about it. When he heard him keep calling them his family and saying that he would depend on him in the future, he had already become complacent.

He kept toasting and accepting all offers, and in a short while he began to look drunk.

Jia Rong, who was watching from the sidelines, gradually figured out what was going on.

He didn't think that Zhang Yunyi was considering his wife, but rather wondered if he didn't understand his father's intentions and was worried that he would catch him having an affair with his stepmother, so he kept urging him to drink.

Seeing that his father was already lying on the table, he hurriedly leaned over to Zhang Yunyi's ear and said, "Uncle Yi, don't worry about going to the Madam's room later. If you are worried, your nephew will look after the master for you later!"

It was a rare idea of ​​his to avoid offending Jia Zhen and at the same time take credit from Zhang Yun逸.

This undoubtedly added a layer of insurance to Zhang Yunyi. He patted Jia Rong on the shoulder and said meaningfully, "You are so filial, and it is also a blessing for Brother Zhen. If Brother Zhen has any problems later, just go to Dengxian Pavilion and let him know."

He helped Jia Rong protect Qin Keqing, and Jia Rong helped him stand guard. Zhang Yunyi couldn't help but feel emotional. He didn't expect that he and Jia Rong could help each other like this.

He even hid it from Jia Zhen, so naturally he would not admit anything to Jia Rong.

Therefore, this statement is ambiguous.

However, Jia Rong heard it and thought that Youshi would stay in Dengxian Pavilion at night.

Patting his chest, he nodded hurriedly and said, "Uncle Yi, just rest assured. I will definitely live up to your trust."

"Come on! Have a couple more drinks with your father."

Upon hearing this, Jia Rong hurriedly pulled Jia Zhen, who was lying on the table, apart and poured wine into his mouth, saying, "Master! Uncle Yi is offering you a drink!"

After drinking two more cups, Jia Zhen was unconscious and snoring.

Jia Rong just stopped, stood up and said to Zhang Yunyi: "Uncle Yi, you go and do your work first, I will leave this to you, nephew!"

"When I get the glass lampshade back, I'll tell my sister-in-law to buy you a few more. You can give the extra ones to your friends!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Rong could not contain his joy, and thought to himself that Uncle Yi was indeed generous. He had only been keeping an eye on him, but he had actually been able to gain quite a bit of benefit. He should also follow up in terms of service.

He hurriedly said, "Uncle Yi, please go and do your work first. I will give you two more cups later depending on the situation."

Zhang Yunyi was satisfied with this, nodded, left the front hall and went straight to Huifang Garden.

After crossing the backyard and entering the Tianxiang Tower archery range, he ran into Youshi head-on.

"Oh! Why did you drink for so long? My mother is getting anxious and keeps urging me to go to the front hall to take a look!"

Zhang Yunyi put his arm around her slender waist and said with a smile, "Aren't you worried that he might come out to cause trouble at night, so you gave him a little more wine?"

"Disrupt the situation? Disrupt what situation?" Yu Shi asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"Although I sent Ruizhu to Tianxiang Tower this afternoon, if he takes advantage of his drunkenness to cause trouble for my nephew's wife, where will Ruizhu and the others go to find me?"
