The Red Mansion Big Liar

This was just a matter of a few words. If he had known from the beginning that he would have to wait so long, he would have said it in the house long ago and turned a blind eye to it.

Although I went to the courtyard to check after that, I didn't get too close. In addition, I was curious and wanted to see when he would come out, so I waited until now.

"Forget it!" Zhang Yunyi waved his hand and said, "Brother, you have seen it too. I just took a day off today. Now I am preparing to build a new factory, so it is inconvenient to take more time off."

Although he gave the King of Qin a reasonable explanation, the King of Qin also intended to obtain some information about the King of Ning through him.

But this was his suggestion after all, so it was not appropriate for him to be too enthusiastic about Yuanchun's affairs.

"This..." Jia Zhen seemed a little embarrassed. He thought Zhang Yunyi would not refuse, and he patted his chest to make a promise in front of Lady Jia.

Seeing that he seemed to have something else to say, Zhang Yunyi did not give him a chance to speak.

"It's getting late. If you don't have anything else to do, Brother Zhen, I still have to go pick up Xiangling, so I won't delay you any longer."

Chapter 109 Xiangling Learns Poetry Again

In front of the Zhang family’s old house.

Before Zhang Yunyi entered the carriage, he said to Feng Shi in front of the door: "Madam, if you have nothing to do, you can go to Ning Mansion to chat with Xiangling."

Xiangling was standing on the carriage, holding a bundle in her arms, and waving goodbye to Feng.

When she turned around and got into the car and just lowered the curtain, Zhang Yunyi pulled her into his arms.

"Do you miss your master?"

After Feng's comprehensive guidance, she was no longer as dull as before and was quite sensitive to the changes in Zhang Yunyi.

Her cheeks suddenly turned red, her eyes were full of spring, and she looked even more charming and attractive.

In the past, she felt that she was Zhang Yunyi’s maid, and she should obey the master’s requests.

Now, knowing that this was not a maid's duty but a love affair between a man and a woman, she was too embarrassed to speak up and just nodded silently.

Even so, the rouge mark between the eyebrows became even more charming and attractive.

With her soft beauty in his arms, and her reluctance to accept, Zhang Yunyi immediately turned her around, wrapped his legs around her body, held her horizontally on his legs, leaned over and kissed her red lips.

The carriage started slowly, shaking all the way.

……

In a short while, Xiangling in his arms had her clothes in disarray, her eyes were blurry, and she was panting.

For a long time, the lips are divided.

Xiangling said in a voice as quiet as a mosquito: "I will serve you when I get back...how do you think?"

Before, she always called herself a slave, but now she changed her title.

However, Zhang Yunyi did not notice this detail. This was the first time that Xiangling took the initiative to ask for service. He was quite happy for the moment and did not care about the details.

He hooked her chin and said with a smile: "Xiangling misses you, Master. Could it be that you want me to serve you?"

I thought Xiangling would become even more shy, but unexpectedly, she nodded and said solemnly: "Mother said that only by serving Master more can I get pregnant with Master's child sooner..."

However, when she mentioned the word "serve more", she unconsciously hugged the bag in her arms tightly again.

Zhang Yunyi could not help but be speechless; he was still a little confused.

However, he also noticed the details. In the hot summer, she was holding on to the bundle tightly. Zhang Yunyi also felt strange and asked with a little scrutiny: "Is there any treasure in this bundle?"

When Xiangling heard this, the blush that had just faded away became stronger again.

With a shy face, she said: "This... this is the underwear that mother made for Xiangling. Let Xiangling wear it when she serves me... I will like it more..."

Zhang Yunyi immediately became interested when he heard this, and hurriedly urged, "Oh? Open it and let me see it!"

I thought there would be some innovative styles, but when I opened it, I was greatly disappointed.

It is still a bellyband, but some effort has been put into the embroidery pattern, and some hollowing out has been done on the corners. Although it is unique, it is still an ordinary style.

"I drew a few patterns a few days ago. I'll ask Ruizhu to show them to you when I get back. We'll just use this one tonight and make a few more before getting new ones."

"Hey! Then Xiangling will change into serving master when she goes back!"

The corners of Zhang Yunyi's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this. After all, he still had the thinking of a modern person and didn't understand the temptation of offspring to the ancients.

Feng had been giving Xiangling a lot of advice recently, telling her how to seize the opportunity.

Seeing that Xiangling was so obsessed with this moment, he felt helpless.

A man who is full does not know that a man who is hungry is hungry; a man who is hungry does not know that a man who is full is empty.

He had just greeted the sisters of the Yu family, and although he had recovered now, Xiangling had been away for several days. Ruizhu was quite understanding and did not want to compete with Xiangling, so he agreed in the morning that they would go to Tianxiang Tower tonight to give Xiangling space and time to be alone with him.

"Ruizhu is going to Tianxianglou tonight, and it will be almost dinner time when she returns. Can you please move your night run to before dinner so that you can spend more time with Xiangling and have a baby?"

Xiangling seemed to think about it seriously before nodding and repacking the bag.

In fact, Zhang Yun逸 was worrying too much.

Xiangling had no intention of competing for favor, but just kept Feng's instructions in mind. However, when she returned to Dengxian Pavilion and saw Ruizhu, whom she had not seen for many days, she was only concerned with expressing her feelings of separation and had long forgotten about the past.

The two little girls talked more and more excitedly, and seemed to be deliberately avoiding Zhang Yunyi. After talking for a while downstairs, they held hands, hid in the room next to the stairs, and whispered to each other.

Zhang Yunyi did not disturb him and went back upstairs to complete the unfinished blueprint of the Grand View Garden.

He has been busy with the new factory's affairs recently and has had little time to draw blueprints. But now that Rong Mansion is ready to start construction, he really can't delay any longer.

When it was almost dusk, he went out and ran a few laps. When he returned to the house drenched in sweat, Xiangling and he finished their conversation and prepared a bath.

After taking a shower, I went downstairs and saw that dinner was already prepared. Ruizhu was the only one downstairs.

Puzzled, "Where's Xiangling?"

Ruizhu blinked her eyes and lowered her head and said, "Sister Xiangling is a little tired. She has already eaten and returned to her room. I will wait for you to eat before going to the young lady."

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yunyi stood up suddenly. "You were fine this afternoon, why are you feeling unwell now?"

Just as he was about to go upstairs, Ruizhu stopped him. She looked evasive and said, "It's okay, I'm just a little dizzy. Please eat first, then go!"

Seeing Ruizhu seemed a little shy, he felt confused.

Because Baozhu came over only after he left, he didn't know that the two little girls were preparing a surprise for him and just thought that Xiangling had her period.

Thinking of how she was still clamoring to serve him in the afternoon, he could not help but shake his head helplessly.

If it happened to someone else, he wouldn't have caused such a misunderstanding, but considering that Xiangling has always been a little dull, it is not impossible.

Putting aside his worries, he thought to himself while eating. Xiangling had no experience of pain before, so he would go upstairs to find out the situation. If there was no problem, he would urge her to find another way.

Hu Siluanxiang finished his dinner and waited until Ruizhu packed up and left. He locked the door and then went upstairs into the house.

Seeing Xiangling lying on her side on the bed covered with a brocade quilt, he quietly took off his clothes and got naked into the quilt.

Hug her tightly from behind.

He asked knowingly, "Tell me quickly, where is the discomfort?"

Ok?

wrong!

He pulled back the quilt and saw Xiangling wrapped under the quilt, wearing a lace-edged hip-length suspender miniskirt, her body lying on the ground, half-exposed.

The exposed snow-white skin was slightly red, as if a touch of rosy clouds was appearing.

He half-supported his body, tilted his neck and looked around at Xiangling, only to see that her face was red and swollen, and her long and thick eyelashes were trembling.

Zhang Yunyi quickly grasped her pink shoulders, turned her towards him, and said with joy, "Is this what Ruizhu prepared for you?"

"This... this belongs to Grandma Xiaorong... Do you like it, Master?"

Her already flushed face looked even more charming and beautiful.

Zhang Yunyi suddenly felt a flame rushing up from the bottom to the top of his head.

"like!"

He only said two words before he could no longer hold back and pounced on it like a hungry tiger.

That night, there were incessant sounds in the Dengxian Pavilion. Xiangling hummed and mumbled as she learned another piece of Pipa Song.

The poem says: Silence is better than sound at this time.

Chapter 110 Night at Tianxiang Tower (Part )

June 5th.

Because they were going to break ground and offer sacrifices to the gods the next day, the lights in the Ning and Rong mansions were turned off early.

When encountering such things, fasting and bathing are common, and all participants dare not take it lightly.

Even Jia Zhen, for the first time, did not hang out with his concubines and maids. He went to bed alone just after the second watch.

Then he opened the lampshade and prepared to blow out the candle inside.

Suddenly, there was a creaking sound, and the door was pushed open heavily, causing the candlelight to flicker.

He raised his head and was about to yell, but when he caught a glimpse of the figure in front of the door, he said in surprise: "Master! Didn't you say that you would not go to the West Mansion tomorrow..."

Jia Jing's face darkened as he interrupted, "Get up quickly, don't alarm the servants, we'll talk on the way!"

Jia Zhen did not dare to delay, and quickly put on his clothes, put on his shoes and went out.

"Master! What happened?"

Jia Jing said solemnly, "Eunuch Dai has spread the news that the emperor wants to thoroughly investigate corruption in all government departments, and the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue have been directly named!"

Jia Zhen heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Father, why are you so nervous? It's not like we haven't investigated this case over the years, and it still ended up in vain."

"This time is different. The emperor summoned Lu Bing the other day and asked him to conduct a thorough investigation."

"Lu Bing?"

Before Jia Zhen could come to his senses, Jia Jing had already started walking and said, "Let's go!"

He quickly chased after him.

"Isn't he the commander of the Southern Pacification Division? Isn't it the duty of the Northern Pacification Division to supervise all officials?"

"Bullshit! The emperor told him to do it, who dares to say anything?"

After Jia Jing scolded him in a low voice, he explained: "He is different from others. Not only was he the emperor's playmate when he was young, but he also saved the emperor from a sudden fire during his southern tour. He is quite trusted by the emperor. It can be seen that he is serious this time."

"Does he really dare to investigate thoroughly? You have to know that our superior is Prince Ning."

"Stupid!" Jia Jing shouted in a low voice, "Prince Ning may not dare to investigate, but what about others?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhen fell silent and followed Jia Jing towards the courtyard gate.

"Master, where are we going?"

Originally, he thought Jia Jing was taking him out of the house to discuss countermeasures with others.

Unexpectedly, it did the opposite.

"This time is different from the past. We can only sacrifice the car to save the driver. Let him die without any evidence. Let's cut off the tail at home first, so as to avoid implicating our family. Someone outside will make it look like he committed suicide out of fear of punishment."

At this point, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's a pity that Jiao Da is gone, otherwise, it would be much more convenient to do this kind of thing. If she..."

Before he finished speaking, Jia Zhen was already stunned. His feet seemed to have been rooted to the ground. His face turned pale and he said in a trembling voice: "Master, are you going to... do this to your wife..."

Because it was the beginning of the month and the moonlight was dim, Jia Jing could not see his expression. He turned around and looked at him, saying approvingly, "Fortunately, you were smart last time and made up that excuse for her death, so we don't have to make up a reason for her death again."

"Master!" Jia Zhen fell to his knees with a plop, begging, "A daughter who is married off is like water spilled. Even if the investigation leads to Qin Ye, as long as he is dead, it is unlikely that the investigation will lead to our house. After all, she is Rong'er's legitimate wife. Why would you do this, Master?"

"Nonsense!" Jia Jing said in a low voice, "Of course, this kind of thing must be foolproof! Lu Bing has always been a person who doesn't recognize any relatives except the emperor, so how could he miss her, his adopted daughter? What kind of place is the Jinyiwei? She is a woman, if she can't stand the scare, she won't be the only one to suffer!"

"But...but hasn't it been found yet?" Jia Zhen looked at Jia Jing cautiously and suggested, "Why not wait for a while..."

"Pig brain!" Jia Jing scolded, "Let's wait until we find Qin Ye before we take action. Who can't tell that we are trying to silence him? By then, I'm afraid that not only will we not be able to clear ourselves of the matter, but we will all have to go to the Jinyiwei!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhen immediately shrank his neck, his face showing fear, but he still begged, "Master! Tomorrow the West Mansion will break ground to worship the gods. If something like this happens now, it would be unlucky. It's better to wait a few days..."
