The Red Mansion Big Liar

After all, the father and son had repeatedly said that they wanted to preserve their reputations. If their words were inconsistent now, wouldn’t they be worried that they would be suspected?

Not to mention that this also involves a dispute over the throne, just speaking for themselves, they have to think carefully.

He still felt that it was not enough, so he patted his chest and said, "This matter concerns the reputation of my nephew and the mansion. Uncle, don't worry, my nephew will ask the emperor to ask the palace maids to come and check. By then, with the palace maids as witnesses, who would dare to gossip about it?"

A trace of panic flashed across Jia Jing's face, and he stared at him for a long while with complicated eyes.

Zhang Yunyi also refused to give in, staring at him resolutely. After staring at each other for a while, Jia Jing sighed and said slowly: "Yunyi is not an outsider, so I shouldn't hide this from you. Your nephew's wife's father committed a crime, and our family has no choice but to sever ties with him!"

When Qin Keqing heard this, her mind buzzed. She finally understood why Jia Jing didn't care and was willing to destroy her reputation and kill her.

As Qin Ye's adopted daughter, she knew everything that went on behind his back.

Although it is unclear how serious the crime is, it seems that there must be a lot of connections that could make Jia Jing act like this.

If it was a matter of reputation, there would be no consequences for Zhang Yun逸 to help, but if he was involved in such a matter, he would probably be implicated.

Therefore, even though she knew that the Ning Mansion was involved, she did not open her mouth to argue.

Just when she had accepted her fate, Zhang Yunyi chuckled and said calmly, "I thought it was nothing! A daughter who is married off is like water spilled out, not to mention that I heard that your wife is just an adopted daughter of the Qin family. Don't say that this matter has nothing to do with your wife. Even if it is related, your nephew can ask the emperor for mercy!"

Although Jia Jing had completely denied all ties to the Ningguo Mansion, he couldn't possibly believe it.

Otherwise, why would she have to force Qin Keqing to death?

He was worried that he would not have the chance to add fuel to the Jia family's decline, so he would naturally not miss such a good opportunity.

When I think about the fact that in the original novel, the Qin family died out after Qin Keqing died, I find it very strange.

Although the current time does not match the original work, Yuanchun's fate has changed.

Whether for the unknown purpose or to ensure that he could catch the Jia family's weakness, he would never give up Qin Keqing.

Jia Jing's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he asked tentatively: "Are you really willing to ask the emperor for mercy to protect her?"

Zhang Yun逸 knew that although Jia Jing was talking about Qin Keqing, he was actually concerned about his own family.

He patted his chest and said in a resolute voice: "My uncle has been very kind to me. Everyone in the mansion is my family. Don't say there is no relationship. Even if there is, I will beg the emperor to show mercy even if I die! At worst, all my future merits will be used to atone for my crime!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Keqing's body trembled, and she looked at him with tears in her eyes, unable to look away.

Although Zhang Yunyi mentioned the Ning Mansion, in the end, wasn't it to save her life?

Besides, given their identities, it was impossible for him to point the finger at himself.

At this moment, Zhang Yunyi seemed even taller in her eyes. The affection in her eyes could no longer be suppressed. She wished she could repay this friendship on Xiangling's behalf.

Before she could imagine the unbearable scene, Jia Jing's voice interrupted her thoughts like thunder.

"Good! Good! You can say this, it's worth your uncle's sincere love for you!"

Jia Jing patted Zhang Yunyi on the shoulder, then changed the subject and said, "You have a bright future ahead of you, and I cannot let you be responsible for the women in the mansion."

Zhang Yunyi was stunned. He thought he would go with the flow, but he didn't expect him to be so persistent.

Just as he was thinking about how to start, Jia Zhen knelt on the ground and said, "Father! My cousin is not an outsider. With his royal favor and your long-standing friendship, if he is willing to do his best to guarantee you, the emperor will surely show him extra mercy. My cousin has said so, so why should you hide it from him?"

Jia Jing still had some reservations about Zhang Yun逸, but Jia Zhen believed him without a doubt.

After all, Youshi was also a member of the mansion. Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, he had heard about it.

As the saying goes, nothing tastes better than dumplings…If not, why would he spend so much time on her?

If Qin Keqing was not a virgin, he might have suspected that Zhang Yun逸 had an affair with her, but now he did not think about it in this direction.

Of course, even if he doubted him, he might not make such a choice. After all, he just wanted to share a piece of the pie with Jia Rong.

In the end, I still couldn't let her go, but I had no choice but to choose between the glorious life in the future and her.

Now that Zhang Yun逸 has given his all to guarantee it, it is like seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, and he no longer hesitates.

"The mansion is actually also responsible. I hope my cousin can lend a hand to the family when the time comes!"

His words were like putting Jia Jing on fire. His face twitched a few times and he looked at Zhang Yunyi with concern.

"Don't worry, cousin. Yun Yi will do his best to help!" Zhang Yun Yi said without hesitation, "Just ask you to tell Yun Yi the truth, so that he can be mentally prepared!"

Jia Zhen was afraid that he would be dissatisfied, so he quickly told him the general situation. However, Jia Zhen was cautious and only explained his own affairs, and gave him a discount on the amount involved.

Even so, Zhang Yunyi was secretly shocked when he heard it. He didn't expect that the amount involved in the Ning Mansion was as much as five or six hundred thousand taels.

However, he did not reveal anything on his face, instead he said disdainfully: "I didn't think it was a big deal, this little bit of money is just a small amount of money that my brother earned for the inner court!"

Hearing his calmness, Jia Zhen was overjoyed and said, "Who says it's not true? From now on, the family will have to rely on my cousin!"

But Jia Jing seemed to be deflated and somewhat uninterested.

He has always been the king of Ningguo Mansion, but now he has Zhang Yunyi to back him up. Although the result is good, he feels a little disappointed.

Chapter 113 Ordered to Appease

Jia Jing was losing interest and was about to ask the two to leave, but when he looked at Jia Zhen, he saw that he was glancing at Qin Keqing who was lying on the ground from time to time.

He looked at Zhang Yunyi and said in a deep voice, "Yunyi, stay and comfort her. Be sure to tell her not to talk nonsense, so as to avoid any more trouble. Zhen'er, come with me!"

Zhang Yunyi was a little stunned, while Jia Zhen on the side hurriedly shouted: "Master! Why don't you let your son..."

At this point, Jia Jing glared at him, so he quickly changed his words and said, "Why not let my son take you back right now?"

"Then Yun Yi will send Uncle down."

"No need, I'm fine with Zhen'er accompanying me. Since you want to protect her, I have no objection, but you must tell her to keep her mouth shut!"

After saying this, Jia Jing waved his hand and took Jia Zhen downstairs.

When he came downstairs and saw Baozhu and Ruizhu, he stared at them with a sinister look on his face. His gaze finally stopped on Baozhu and he asked sternly, "Were you the one who tipped off?"

Ruizhu's face changed drastically when she heard that and she secretly glanced at the stairs.

Baozhu fell to her knees with a thump and quickly explained, "I am your servant now. I dare not listen to the private affairs of the mansion. That's why I went to your place to avoid suspicion."

Jia Jing's eyelids kept twitching. He did not look at Baozhu, but turned his head to look at Jia Zhen beside him.

He quickly said, "Yes! Brother Yi is attracted to these two girls, and I forgot to tell you!"

Jia Jing took a deep breath, a trace of helplessness appeared on his face, and finally shook his head, hunched his back, and slowly walked out.

The moment the two stepped out of Tianxiang Tower, Baozhu and Ruizhu both felt weak and exhaled heavily.

When the footsteps faded away, Ruizhu patted her increasingly swollen chest and said thankfully: "That's good! This is finally..."

At this point, she remembered Qin Keqing, and hurriedly supported Baozhu, saying, "I'll help you up, let's go up and see the young lady!"

As soon as she said this, she felt her arm being tightly grasped, and heard Baozhu's hoarse voice in her ear: "Don't go! The master is upstairs, why does he need us to interfere?"

Because they didn't want Xiangling to see Qin Keqing's embarrassment, the two men persuaded her to stay in Dengxian Pavilion and follow Zhang Yunyi to Tianxiang Tower.

At that time, Ruizhu wanted to follow, but was persuaded by Baozhu.

She knew that Zhang Yun逸 would do his best to protect Qin Keqing at all costs, and if the two of them followed him, they would easily become the targets of his anger.

So he forced Ruizhu to stay downstairs and just lay on the stairs to eavesdrop.

"But……"

Although she had vaguely heard some words just now, she didn't see anyone, so Ruizhu was still a little worried.

Baozhu interrupted her before she finished speaking: "No buts!"

She held Ruizhu tightly and said, "You heard it just now. This family wanted to force grandma to death. Only grandpa tried his best to protect her. He even risked his future for grandma. A drop of water should be repaid with a spring. How do you want grandma to repay grandpa's kindness?"

"This..." Ruizhu looked at her in astonishment, "No way! If Miss didn't care about her reputation, why would she..."

Baozhu said indignantly, "What a shame! This family wants to force grandma to death, and they want grandma to keep her chastity for them?"

At this point, she leaned on Ruizhu's shoulder and whispered in her ear, "You really don't understand what grandma is thinking?"

"What can Miss do?"

At this point, Ruizhu woke up as if from a dream. She hurriedly pried open her arm that was held by Baozhu, quickly walked to the door, looked outside, then quickly closed the door and bolted it.

Then, he leaned his back against the door and said anxiously, "Go and watch from the window. I'm afraid the old man won't be able to come down for a while. If they come back, we'll have to delay for a while."

upstairs.

It was not as the two maids had guessed that a sentimental drama was being performed.

However, Zhang Yun逸 did not pretend to be a gentleman.

After seeing Jia Jing and the other two leave, he waited for a moment, then walked towards Qin Keqing, who was still slumped on the ground, with a look of concern on his face.

"never mind!"

This sound was like a thunderbolt. Qin Keqing's body trembled slightly and she slowly raised her head.

Although it was a bit inappropriate, Jia Jing's words before he left, asking Zhang Yunyi to stay and comfort her, still made her think wildly.

Should it be soft words to calm my heart, or use those big, broad hands to gently stroke my pink back?

Or...

Even just thinking about it makes my body feel hot.

Although I think this is just wishful thinking, I can't help but think about it, and even secretly hope that he can act more recklessly.

She completely forgot about her body's reaction and only focused on looking at the figure.

Their eyes happened to be facing each other.

Those soul-stirring eyes were filled with grievance, self-pity, resentment and panic, as if telling of her fragility and helplessness.

However, as the two looked at each other, the emotions in her eyes gradually became blurred.

The breathing also became heavy and rapid, and the chest was swollen and rising and falling.

The blush on her cheeks became more and more obvious, like peach blossoms in early spring, delicate and beautiful, with a strong spring feeling, as if issuing some kind of invitation.

Zhang Yunyi quickly stepped forward, leaned over, stretched out his hand, and said in a warm voice: "The ground is cold, you can't sit for long, I'll help you up!"

A hint of shyness appeared on Qin Keqing's face. She lowered her head, but without hesitation, she reached out and placed her hand on the broad palm he offered her.

Qin Keqing's slender hands were soft and boneless, and his broad palms were warm and strong, and both of them could not help but tremble.

Zhang Yunyi exerted a little force and pulled her up from the ground.

Just at this moment, Qin Keqing's legs went weak and she fell backwards.

In a flash, Zhang Yunyi quickly reached out to support her pink back, then leaned over, walked around her knees, and held the soft and weak body in his arms.

The summer shirt was thin, and Zhang Yunyi was only wearing a shirt, so he instantly felt the other person's warmth.

"Hmm!" Qin Keqing moaned, "Uncle!"

Her arms involuntarily hooked around Zhang Yunyi's neck. Her eyes slightly closed, her lips slightly parted, her long and thick eyelashes trembled constantly, and the blush on her face became more and more intense, but she did not lower her head. Instead, she stretched her neck as if ready to be killed.

Zhang Yunyi no longer hesitated, lowered his head and kissed those moving red lips.

The moment their lips touched, Qin Keqing instinctively struggled and twisted in his arms like a fish just out of water.

As if she was afraid of falling from his arms, her arms had wrapped around his back and were holding him tightly.

For a long time, the lips are divided.

Bringing out strands of silver threads, Zhang Yunyi embraced the jade-like beauty who was as soft as dough and walked slowly towards the bed.

When he reached the bed, he slowly put her down, then leaned over again and kissed her forehead gently.

"I'm afraid they will come back. There's still a long time to go. I'll come back another day!"

It can be hot anywhere, but the mind must remain clear.

Jia Zhen was afraid that he would not feel comfortable with him being alone with Qin Keqing, so his primary goal now was to appease them. As long as he could bring down the Ning Mansion, he would not be afraid of them causing trouble again.

Qin Keqing was too embarrassed to restrain herself, but still nodded slightly.

Zhang Yunyi then stood up with difficulty, turned around, hunched his back, and left Qin Keqing's boudoir.

The moment he stepped out of the room, Qin Keqing, who was lying on the bed, suddenly got up from the bed and ran to the door. She held the door, her eyes full of spring, she bit her red lips and whispered in a low voice: "Keqing is waiting for uncle!"

The voice was very small, but it seemed that all the strength in the body was used up.

After saying this, without waiting for Zhang Yunyi's response, he leaned against the door and closed it.
