The Red Mansion Big Liar
Page 82
Mrs. Wang was stunned when she heard this. She felt guilty and the first thing she thought of was that someone happened to see her intimate contact with Zhang Yun逸 that night.
His eyes couldn't help but look at Caixia and Caiyun beside him.
Seeing that both of them had shocked expressions, he finally came to his senses a little.
Although I felt a little nervous, I was already in the spotlight at the moment. If I tried to keep quiet, I was afraid that the rumor would only get more and more intense.
She did not blame Wang Xifeng for making such a fuss. After all, the rumor had already spread. If she tried to cover it up, who knows what kind of gossip would spread.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Go! Bring that slutty vixen to me!"
She was furious at the moment and her words were merciless.
A moment later, Aunt Zhao was brought in.
The people sent by Mrs. Wang were all her trusted followers who came with the dowry. They had never had a good impression of Aunt Zhao, and now that they had found an excuse, they naturally would not be polite.
There was pushing, shoving, pulling and tugging along the way, which not only made Aunt Zhao's hair messy and her face dusty, but also made her clothes disheveled.
The buttons on the front were torn, revealing a large white spot.
Although Aunt Zhao was in a very miserable state, there was no shame on her face, but rather a hint of joy.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw the servants all over the courtyard. Without waiting for Mrs. Wang to ask, she cried out in a mournful voice, "Madam, please understand! These words were not spread by the mouth of a servant, but by the mouth of the master himself!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the courtyard suddenly fell silent.
Even the maids who had just pushed Aunt Zhao froze and looked at Madam Wang with horror on their faces.
Mrs. Wang felt as if she were struck by lightning and her mind went blank.
She was confident that she had always behaved properly and there was nothing wrong with her, but Jia Zheng pushed her into Zhang Yunyi's arms.
Although Jia Zheng left angrily that night, he might return at a critical moment and happen to see a scene he shouldn't have seen.
She was so distracted at that time that she didn't notice his sudden return, which was normal.
Wang Xifeng was also startled, but she was the first to recover. She quickly stepped forward, raised her hand and slapped Aunt Zhao in the face.
He shouted angrily, "How dare you talk nonsense!"
Aunt Zhao was in a powerful position, so she was not willing to suffer any loss. The old woman who was holding her had not yet reacted and let her hide away.
As she bent down to dodge, she shouted, "The master is right here with me. You can find out by just asking. It's not just the master who knows about this. There's also Master Yi from the East Palace... The master said that the mistress has accepted it, so why is he taking his anger out on me now?"
She originally said this to enhance the value of her words so that everyone would be convinced that what she said was true.
Because of the experience of being intercepted last time, she did not make a big fuss when Jia Zheng hosted a dinner this time, and just used the excuse that Jia Zheng wanted to add a few more dishes.
At this moment, he also deliberately concealed the fact that Zhang Yunyi was invited to the banquet, in order to let him be in person to provide evidence for himself.
After hearing the first sentence, Mrs. Wang felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
Sure enough, she collapsed in Zhang Yunyi's arms, and was held upright by him, which was seen by Jia Zheng.
Otherwise, why would Aunt Zhao bring up his name?
But after hearing the last sentence, she realized that this was talking about Yuanchun.
A strange blush appeared on her face. She put aside the inappropriate thoughts and said in a deep voice: "Okay! In this case, let's go to confront the master!"
Wang Xifeng was a little dumbfounded at first, but after hearing what Mrs. Wang said, she seemed not to be afraid, and she was a little confused for a moment.
Aunt Zhao obviously had someone to rely on, and she made it very clear, and Jia Zheng said that Lady Wang had already accepted it.
But why can she remain calm?
Moreover, even if there was something wrong with Mrs. Wang, what did it have to do with Zhang Yun逸?
How did he know?
She couldn't help but think of Jia Jing's birthday and the deal that Zhang Yun逸 mentioned, saying that the Wang family would also benefit from it.
Could it be that he had already had dealings with the family and she was kept in the dark, and was working with Madam Wang to frame Aunt Zhao?
This is not impossible. Apart from the Ning Mansion, only the Xue family and himself are involved in his business.
There is no need to say more about myself. Isn't Aunt Xue's surname Wang?
Mrs. Wang took the initiative to propose in front of Lady Jia that the management of the garden be handed over to him, which showed that she trusted him very much.
Although her mind was in turmoil, she knew that now was not the time to ask questions, so she had to suppress her doubts.
Following the group of people, they arrived at Aunt Zhao's yard.
"Where is the master?" When they arrived in the courtyard, Mrs. Wang looked around and said with a stern face.
"The master just went out!" The maid in Aunt Zhao's room hurried forward to answer.
"Kneel down!" Mrs. Wang shouted angrily, "I want to see what else you have to say in front of the master!"
When the servants saw her such momentum, they seemed to have found their backbone and immediately pressed Aunt Zhao to the ground.
"Master! Master..." Aunt Zhao struggled endlessly. Her body was being pulled further and further away, but she was completely unaware and just kept calling out Jia Zheng.
……
"Uncle! Please don't blame me for being late!"
"Nephew, please come in!"
Jia Zheng, who was in the front yard of Rong Mansion, had no idea that the backyard had become a mess.
When he saw Zhang Yunyi, he couldn't help but think of the scene of Mrs. Wang lying on the ground that night, and he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
He forced a smile, greeted Zhang Yunyi, and led him to the backyard without saying a word.
Zhang Yunyi didn't expect that he would have such strong stamina.
After all, it wasn't a big deal in his opinion.
However, after returning to Ning Mansion, he did not come to Rong Mansion immediately. Instead, he went back to change his clothes, went to see Xiangling again, and chatted with Feng Shi for a while.
Instead, Jia Zheng had to wait in the front yard for quite a while, and he felt unhappy because he had been waiting for so long.
However, he is not without awareness of being a junior.
Instead, I thought to myself, since you took the initiative to invite me, you must have something to ask for. If you are being so cold now, there is no reason for me to flatter you.
So, without saying a word, he followed Jia Zheng.
I originally thought that since he was taking me all the way to the backyard, he would definitely go to Mrs. Wang's yard again.
He couldn't help but glance at Jia Zheng.
He knew clearly the distraught reaction of Mrs. Wang after he picked her up that night.
Although she was nearly forty years old, he had lived two lives and his mental age was not younger than Lady Wang. Moreover, she was a lady from a wealthy official family and she took good care of herself, so she looked to be in her early thirties. With the blessing of her status, he did not reject her.
I even secretly look forward to seeing her again and getting a glimpse of her feelings from her expression.
It can be seen that Jia Zheng did not enter the house, but walked inside instead. He was somewhat disappointed because he was not familiar with the layout of Rong Mansion.
However, his disappointment did not last long. When he followed Jia Zheng into a small courtyard, his eyes suddenly widened.
……

Chapter 148 The Tragic Jia Zheng
Because Jia Zheng had been waiting for Zhang Yunyi for a long time, Aunt Zhao had also exhausted her strength and was no longer as exhausted as she was at the beginning.
But when the servants called out "Master", she suddenly gained strength, and taking advantage of everyone's unpreparedness, she pushed away the two maids who were holding her down, and suddenly jumped up from the ground.
Although she knew that Jia Zheng had gone to pick up Zhang Yunyi, when he returned, Zhang Yunyi must be present.
But she also knew that Jia Zheng was very concerned about his reputation. Although her embarrassed appearance would be seen by Zhang Yunyi, she was obviously helpless.
If Jia Zheng wanted to blame someone, he would only blame Lady Wang who made him lose face.
So without hesitation, he took advantage of the chaos and pulled the collar, which was already half open, further outwards.
Suddenly, a large area of snow was exposed, no longer covering it.
She turned around and ran towards Jia Zheng, raising her hand as if to cover up her mistake, yet she acted in a deliberately flustered manner.
She continued to speak in a rhythmic manner: "Master! ~ Madam... Madam is afraid that she will kill me..."
That large expanse of snow-white breasts was so white that it dazzled Zhang Yunyi's eyes. But at the same time as she ran towards Jia Zheng, she was also running towards Zhang Yunyi.
Coupled with the shaking when running, it was like two white rabbits out of a cage, running towards him, jumping non-stop, and ready to come out.
. Grandmother Jia is obsessed with looks. The fact that Aunt Zhao can stay by her side and is given to her beloved youngest son speaks volumes.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been favored for so many years.
Although she is almost thirty years old, she has a charming figure and a seductive face, and is definitely not inferior to those women who are ranked among the golden hairpins.
In addition, she was originally a concubine who served men with her beauty, and she understood men's minds very well. She was able to grasp the attitude of wanting to refuse but also to welcome, and wanting to cover up, very well.
With the fear of surviving a disaster, his clothes were in disarray, and he was gasping for breath.
Zhang Yunyi couldn't help but salute deeply and swallow hard.
She seemed to be in a panic and didn't know where to go. When she ran, she didn't avoid Zhang Yunyi, but ran between Jia Zheng and Zhang Yunyi.
Only when she grabbed Jia Zheng's arm did she suddenly turn towards Jia Zheng as if awakened from a dream.
Zhang Yunyi naturally would not miss this close-up opportunity. It was not until Aunt Zhao turned around that he came to his senses. He just happened to catch a glimpse of Jia Zheng, who turned away with a gloomy face.
Got it!
I was staring at you just now, and it was obvious that he saw it.
However, adhering to the principle that as long as he is not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed, he just shrugged his nose and took a light sniff.
Jia Zheng did see it, and was extremely dissatisfied with Zhang Yunyi's unrestrained behavior.
Although it was not uncommon for wealthy families to exchange concubines or even use concubines as servants, it was not without taboos.
Not to mention that he had never done such a thing before, just the fact that Aunt Zhao gave birth to a pair of children made it impossible for her to just sit there and do nothing.
But the moment Zhang Yunyi raised his head, he turned his head away and pretended not to see it.
However, his arms were shaking with anger, which could not be hidden from Aunt Zhao, and she felt even more proud that her plan had succeeded.
She said coquettishly, "Master! I just let my mouth slip for a moment and leaked out some of what you said to me in private, and now Madam wants to hold me accountable!"
Last time, it was because of Mrs. Wang that Jia Zheng lost all face in front of Zhang Yun逸.
This time there was another commotion like this, with the two things happening at the same time, how could he hold back his anger?
However, as family disgrace should not be made public, she planned to send Zhang Yunyi away first, and then make the decision after he left. However, Aunt Zhao did not give him this opportunity.
He just thought that Mrs. Wang knew about it, so he arranged to host a banquet for Zhang Yun逸 in Aunt Zhao's courtyard.
He came to take advantage of the situation and immediately took out the master's momentum, and shouted at Mrs. Wang: "What a good thing you have done!"
Mrs. Wang did not expect Zhang Yunyi to appear suddenly.
She could have been justified in saying that Aunt Zhao had ruined her reputation, but in front of Zhang Yun逸, she couldn't help feeling guilty. She lowered her head unconsciously, not daring to look at Jia Zheng who was standing next to her, and thus missed the opportunity to take the initiative.
But after hearing what Jia Zheng said, she no longer cared about being shy.
She still remembered clearly what Jia Zheng had done when he first learned that Yuanchun could become Prince Ning's concubine.
It would be fine if he just sat back and reaped the benefits without saying a word to me, but I worked so hard for my daughter and yet I was inexplicably given such a stigma.
What's more, although it is true that she participated in this matter, Jia Mu's intention was also more important, while Jia Zheng only framed himself. How could she bear this?
He didn't care about Zhang Yunyi's presence and sneered, "Why don't you ask her what she said, Master?"
Although she allowed Jia Zheng to ask, she did not give him a chance to speak, and continued with a sullen face: "Since ancient times, marriage has been a matter of parents' orders and matchmaker's words. Although the eldest girl's affair was kept secret from the master and she got married through Concubine Zhen's back door, this was also the old lady's intention.
Brother Yi is here today too, you might as well ask him whether it was my idea or the old lady's.
If the master feels that we have delayed your fame, we will go to the old lady to ask for an explanation. At worst, let my brother plead with the emperor to refuse this grace and save your reputation!"
She was worried that Aunt Zhao would bring up something concerning her reputation, so she spoke directly about Yuanchun's affairs.
Because she was dissatisfied with Jia Zheng's attitude, she even brought Wang Ziteng out.
After these words were spoken, all the servants of the Wang family felt relieved, except Wang Xifeng, who had an expression that said, "As expected."
Aunt Zhao was so frightened that she held her breath and dared not utter a word again.
