The Red Mansion Big Liar

My second grandmother looks so powerful and impressive, but when it comes to real action, I'm afraid she's not even as good as this eldest grandmother...

Correct!

At most one index finger.

I didn't expect that the grandmother, who usually keeps a low profile, is so tenacious in private.

She glanced at Li Wan, who was still sleeping beside her, with lingering fear, and a strange look appeared on her face involuntarily.

Last night, at first she thought Li Wan was just holding it in too much, but when she heard that she was willing to help her relieve it, she couldn't help herself.

Then he rushed over and forced a kiss.

But then, she felt something different. Li Wan wasn't asking for a kiss at all. She was clearly trying to eat her saliva...

I originally thought this was her natural reaction. After all, she had this desire when facing Zhang Yunyi.

When she tasted the flavor again, she naturally stopped.

But unexpectedly, instead of vomiting continuously like before, she seemed to be still unsatisfied and moved her snake-like tongue, even her teeth were searched clean.

That would have been fine, but she just wouldn't give up and bent over to do the dirty work again...

Even when she suggested several times to go wash up first, Li Wan ignored her and only stopped until everything was gone and let her relieve herself.

She is not a fool, how could she not see it?

However, she could also understand that false phoenixes were only consolation after all. Li Wan had been a widow for many years, so how could she resist that masculine aura?

However, she was a little confused. She suddenly noticed something strange in her mouth. Did she really not smell anything, or was there another reason?

Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, she quickly put aside those guesses and swam a few times like a loach, but she could not escape from Li Wan's restraints.

He had no choice but to lift the quilt on his side and carefully push away Li Wan's arms that were wrapped around his chest.

When the corner of the quilt was lifted, the cold air invaded and finally woke Li Wan up.

She stretched lazily, put her hand on Ping'er's pink back, and said, "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"I'm afraid grandma is also up. I have to go back and check!"

"Feng girl, I don't know how many lifetimes I have cultivated to be blessed to have someone as caring as you..."

Li Wan sighed, wrapped herself in the quilt and sat up. She put her big woolen coat on Ping'er, held her hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't say a word about your affairs. Now we have become close friends. Even if you are not in this mansion in the future, don't forget to come and see me often."

Ping'er couldn't help feeling sad when she heard this. Although she was a slave, she at least had a home.

Women from ordinary families can remarry after becoming widows, but Li Wan, although she is the eldest lady of the Rongguo Mansion, isn’t this identity a constraint?

I'm afraid that in the future I can only look to myself for comfort.

Her heart warmed up, and she assured, "Don't worry, grandma. Even if I go to live with the master in the future, I will come to see you regularly!"

"Hey! I knew you were a warm-hearted and kind person."

Li Wan couldn't help but hold her hand tightly again, sighing, "You also know that my life is like this, and I only hope that Lan'er can fight for her. On the day of Master Jing's birthday, Brother Yi said that Lan'er's body still needs to be strengthened. I didn't know about your relationship, so I asked Sister Zhen for help, but there has been no news. After all, she is not as close to the family as you are, so you have to ask for me."

"Don't worry, grandma! I'll take care of this matter!"

Seeing that she had been delayed for some time, Ping'er hurriedly put on her clothes, not even bothering to wash up, and hurried back to Wang Xifeng's courtyard next door.

But Wang Xifeng was standing at the door of the main room in a daze with red eyes and her hands on her hips.

Seeing Ping'er coming back, she said angrily, "What's the matter? Are you uncomfortable living there, or did you come back to laugh at me?"

"Grandma, it's serious. You were very angry last night, so I stayed in your room for the night."

Thinking of what happened last night, Ping'er couldn't help feeling guilty and her voice became lower and lower.

Looking at Wang Xifeng's appearance, it was obvious that she had not slept all night, but she herself...

Seeing her weak voice, Wang Xifeng thought she was worried that she was still angry. She had been alone in the empty room last night without anyone to talk to, and she felt a little regretful. But when she saw that Ping'er did not run to Ning Mansion and came back on her own initiative, she said nothing more.

He waved his hand and said, "Alright! You look so haggard, I'm afraid you haven't slept all night... Why don't you go and take a shower!"

After she said this, Ping'er felt even more ashamed and said hurriedly, "I'd better help Madam wash up first!"

"Why are you washing it? You still have people nagging you. Who am I going to show off to if I clean up?"

Wang Xifeng said angrily, "I think he is so bold that he actually made me wait for a whole night. He must have become too wild in Jiangnan. It would be better for him not to come back at all!"

Having said that, she still turned around and went back to the inner room. Ping'er was slightly stunned, then hurriedly got some hot water and followed her in.

He does not mean that.

Wang Xifeng's words that her heart was wild were exactly the same as Zhang Yun逸's words.

Could it be that Jia Lian really has changed his personality?

Ping Erh was inevitably a little worried, but she did not dare to report Zhang Yunyi's words truthfully. She had to take advantage of the time when she was helping Wang Xifeng to wash and dress to persuade her: "It was difficult for me to say it before, but now I want to persuade you. As the saying goes, things will turn around when they reach the extreme. He has been in Jiangnan for a year and has just returned. If you quarrel with him now, I am afraid you will not be able to recover for a while..."

"What's the point of slowing down? What's the point of slowing down? He's out there having a good time, and I'm at home serving the old lady and the ladies, working so hard. Now that he's back, instead of coaxing me, he wants me to give in to him?"

She became more and more excited as she spoke, slamming the dressing table loudly. "Among all these housekeepers in our family, which one is easy to deal with? They will laugh at me if I make the slightest mistake, and complain about me if I make a slight mistake. And the eldest master and the eldest mistress, it would be fine if they didn't help me, but they are secretly trying to undermine me. Where can I complain about these grievances? And... and..."

She wanted to tell how Zhang Yunyi had taken advantage of her, but luckily she stopped herself in time and changed her words, "People say that a short absence is better than a new marriage. But he didn't even think about making up for the loss of this year. He ran away as soon as he came back. He wasn't afraid that I would be missed!"

"Madam, you are joking. Not to mention that Second Master Lian knows it very well, even I know that Madam is not that kind of person..."

"Humph!" Wang Xifeng snorted coldly, "What kind of person is born to be good? If he dares to turn his face away from me, I will definitely teach him a lesson and put a hat on him one day!"

"Grandma, please be careful with your words! If this is heard by others, it will spread like wildfire. Don't forget your wife..."

Chapter 163 Taking action after hearing the news

"Why do you look listless lately, young lady? Are you worried about your wife?"

In the three small main rooms in the east corridor, the maid said carefully while combing Tanchun's hair.

Tanchun has been sighing a lot recently, and today she is even more absent-minded.

Tanchun shook her head slightly, but said, "No matter how capable I am, I can't decide my parents' origins. With a mother like this, even if Madam vents her anger on me, there's nothing I can do."

At this point, she suddenly said without thinking, "The big red gorilla felt cape that my second sister wore yesterday, I remember the old lady also has one, did you hear when the old lady gave it to her?"

The secretary was also stunned by the question, and said thoughtfully, "No way? Since the second young lady returned to celebrate the master's birthday, she was taken back by the first lady. She has been with us recently to pay her respects to the old lady. Besides, the eldest young lady Shi has always liked that cloak, and the old lady has not given it up. Why would she suddenly give it to the second young lady? Why did the young lady suddenly ask this?"

Tanchun did not answer, but just lowered her head slightly and said indifferently: "Nothing, it just suddenly looked familiar, maybe I was overthinking it!"

Some time ago, she was in low spirits, indeed because Aunt Zhao spread rumors and falsely accused Mrs. Wang of damaging her reputation.

Today, it was because I saw Yingchun suddenly take the initiative to greet Zhang Yun逸 yesterday in Rongqing Hall.

Yingchun naturally knew what she could see clearly. As a concubine's daughter, she was naturally not worthy of the legitimate sons and grandsons of the royal family.

Although given the Rong family background and her adoption by her stepmother, her marriage would not be a bad one, the conflicts in the harem and the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were unavoidable obstacles.

As the biological daughter of Aunt Zhao and adopted by Lady Wang, she felt this deeply.

On the contrary, Zhang Yunyi, who had no father or mother, was quite to her liking.

Even if a woman marries into an ordinary family, she still has to serve her parents-in-law and set rules. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will compete with each other secretly.

Even though Lady Wang is the legitimate daughter of the Wang family, she has endured for so many years and has not yet been able to truly hold power. What’s more, she is just a concubine’s daughter?

Not to mention that Zhang Yunyi was favored by the emperor and had a bright future, the mere fact that she would be able to manage the rear quarters without any constraints once she married into the Zhang family was enough to attract her.

He originally thought that Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang thought highly of him, and since he was of the right age, he only needed to make steady progress and the position would be his.

Unexpectedly, Yingchun showed up unexpectedly.

If only the eldest wife was too enthusiastic, she wouldn't care.

She figured it out at the birthday party.

However, judging from the situation at the time, Jia She and Lady Xing were clearly frustrated in the East Palace.

He even made a scene at the hands of the old lady and was too embarrassed to go back to Ning Mansion for the banquet. How come he seems to have received help from Lady Jia now?

She didn't know that because of Yuanchun's matter, Mrs. Wang had also made a promise to the Ning Mansion, and because of Jia Zheng's personality, she was excluded by Grandmother Jia.

On the contrary, Jia She, who has always behaved in a dissolute manner, was more likely to do such sneaky things.

It was only because Aunt Zhao framed Lady Wang that there was no one to make decisions for her, so Lady Jia had to settle for the second best and choose Yingchun.

However, she is not as compromising as Yingchun, but is a person who faces challenges head-on.

Even if you lose the initiative, you can't give up easily.

wrong!

It doesn't necessarily mean that we have lost the opportunity.

She seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said, "I remember the last time something happened, the master was in Auntie's room inviting Brother Yi, right?"

"Hmm! Miss, now that you mention it, I remember that the first time the master invited Master Yi to the mistress' room, but last time he moved him to the concubine's room."

Tanchun stood up suddenly and said, "Let's go! Stop combing your hair and go see her!"

"Ah! Miss, don't worry about your wife..."

"She is my biological mother after all. It has been a month. Madam must understand. If she continues to find fault with me, there is nothing I can do about it."

After hearing her say this, the maid didn't say much and followed Tanchun all the way to Aunt Zhao's room.

Aunt Zhao was lying on the bed with her clothes on. After all, she was Jia Zheng's concubine. Everyone saw what happened that day and it was obvious that Jia Zheng wanted to protect her.

? Even the Wang family members did not dare to offend Jia Zheng, for fear of being held accountable in the future. They acted with some restraint, and although they injured some bones, they did not hurt any flesh.

Now lying on the bed like this, her curves and peaks appear even more graceful.

When she saw Tanchun come into the room, she turned around and shouted, "You have no conscience! I have been working like a pig in this room for half my life, just to have you and your brother. Now that something bad has happened, you don't even give me a face!"

"Oh! Auntie also knows that she has committed a crime!"

Tanchun sneered and said, "When you were making up rumors and causing trouble, did you ever think about my difficulties? Madam loves me very much, and she is disappointed several times because of the troubles caused by the aunt. If I were a man and could go out, I would have left long ago and established a career. Then I would have my own reasons. But I am a girl, and I have no right to say anything nonsense.

I shouldn't have said anything about my elders, but I've been with my wife since I was a child. Have you ever thought about how it would affect me when you spread those rumors? Although I haven't been around like Huan'er in these years, I always think of your kindness in raising me, and I save money and give you a portion of my monthly allowance. I haven't thought about asking for anything in return, but it's not right for you to treat me like this, right?"

Aunt Zhao was speechless and could only make up a story: "When did I spread rumors? I just didn't take precautions and spread the master's words!"

Tanchun ignored her and said to the secretary and Xiao Jixiang in the room, "You go and wait outside. I want to talk to Auntie for a few words!"

After the two of them left, she softened her tone and said, "Aunt, you can just say this to others, but why do you have to act aggrieved in front of me?"

Even after her lie was exposed, Aunt Zhao did not feel embarrassed. Instead, she said confidently, "Isn't this for you and your brother?"

Tanchun said firmly: "It's true that you did it for Huan'er, but it's not necessary for me!"

"Hmph!" Aunt Zhao snorted, "Don't take your brother for granted. Just treat Baoyu as a treasure. Be careful not to worship the wrong Buddha!"

With Zhang Yunyi's appraisal, she sounded quite confident.

But, after all, it’s hard to change one’s nature, and there’s a certain sourness in his words.

Tanchun sneered and said, "Huan'er is my brother, and Baoyu is also my legitimate brother. I have my own standards for who treats me well. To put it bluntly, even if he recognizes me as his sister in the future, there are reasons for it, and I have nothing to complain about. Besides, he is loved by the old lady and the lady above, and has a huge family business waiting for him. It is not his turn, and he doesn't need me to curry favor with him."

"Humph!"

Aunt Zhao snorted coldly and exhaled heavily, causing the bulge behind her to tremble.

"You are right anyway, so why did you come here today? Are you here just to discredit us?"

"I only have one question for you, my wife!"

Tanchun cleared her throat and said in a deep voice, "What was the reason why the master invited Brother Yi to visit Auntie last time?"

After saying this, she looked at Aunt Zhao with hope.

Logically, this was Jia Zheng's first time entertaining guests in Lady Wang's courtyard. Even if he didn't choose that place for the next banquet, he wouldn't downgrade it and have the guests in Lady Wang's aunt's room.

Unless what we are talking about is related to this room.

However, although Tanchun had some guesses in her heart, she hoped to get them confirmed.

"What's the matter?" Aunt Zhao was stunned by her question. After thinking for a moment, she raised her eyebrows and said, "How should I know? Maybe she saw that he was an extraordinary person and wanted him to give your brother some advice. Who knows!"

What she said was half true.

In her opinion, Jia Zheng could not resist her nagging and invited Zhang Yunyi to give Jia Huan some advice.

Although there were some deviations in the process and Jia Zheng was unable to accompany him in person, he had already done the job and persuaded Zhang Yun逸 to give his son some advice.
