The Heavens Begin with Dream of the Red Chamber

Chapter 78 Ningguo Mansion Changes Owner

There are no secrets in Rongguo Mansion, and Jia Yucun's previous affairs were soon exposed in the mansion.

Everyone in this mansion had received money from the Xue family and didn't know how to repay them, so they took this opportunity to curse Jia Yucun as a good-for-nothing. Even Jia Yucun's female student, Lin Daiyu, was affected to a certain extent.

"Humph!"

Xueyan walked into the house angrily, put the washed medicine bowl heavily on the table, frowned and cursed:

"That bunch of gossipy old women have nothing to do all day long, just gossiping!"

"Jia Yucun has only been teaching in the mansion for a few years. What does that have to do with us?"

"If we talk about the distance of kinship, his surname is Jia, not Lin!"

After hearing this, Sister Lin frowned and said gloomily:

"Anyway, we are just looking for someone to scold. Apart from us, who else can we choose in this mansion?"

Zijuan hurriedly smiled and advised:

"Miss, you are speaking in anger again!"

"If anyone dares to say that the young lady is an outsider, I will go find the old ancestor and beat him out of the house with a stick."

Lin Daiyu curled her lips, coughed twice, and continued sarcastically:
"You may not say it, but you will think it in your heart."

"I don't have a lot of money to give to others, so it's no wonder that I'm not popular."

A little maidservant nearby heard Sister Lin talking like this, and wanted to please her, so she interrupted and said:

"No matter how much money you have, can it save your life?"

Everyone in the room suddenly changed color. Zijuan pointed at the little maid and shouted:

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"If you dare to say such nonsense again, you can't stay in this room. I will definitely kick you out!"

The little maid was terrified and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy. Sister Lin waved her hands and panted:
"With my current health, I'm always sick, so it's hard to say who will die first!"

"I often went to talk to Sister Bao these days. I originally wanted to comfort her, but she was more open-minded than I thought. Even Brother Bao asked me to learn more from her, which led to a big quarrel between us."

"I heard before that Brother Zhan is actually a Taoist master who brought Mr. Jia's grandson back to life. I don't know how much of it is true."

"That would be great if it's true. Not only can it save Sister Bao's life, but it can also save the sisters from quarreling over a man."

"In the past, the sisters in the mansion often formed a poetry club, painted, played chess, and flew kites together... I don't know how happy we were, but now, everyone is quarreling so much that they don't even see each other anymore, and Sister Xiangyun doesn't want to come to the mansion anymore."

"The most pitiful ones are the maids around Brother Bao. Now all the families are vying for them, but they are not for their own use. They are to be maids for the young ladies as dowry."

At this point, Sister Lin's eyes flashed with mischief, and she sneered:

"Brother Bao has always treated the maids around him like his own treasures. Is that right now?"

"It turns out that the maids he carefully selected were all for the purpose of preparing dowry for that big brother Zhan."

"Hehe... He always says that I am unreasonable and makes trouble. Now I am going to the master and mistress to make trouble all day long?"

"Next time I see him, I will embarrass him and see if he still has the nerve to continue talking about me!"

"I think he brought this upon himself. Who told him to pick those pretty maids to keep around him?"

Seeing that their young lady was becoming jealous again, all the maids lowered their heads and giggled, and no one dared to interrupt.

The more Lin Daiyu talked, the angrier she became. When Brother Bao still didn't come over, she got angry and refused to eat. She just lay down on the bed, and no matter what others said, it was useless.

Zijuan knew who to look for at this time, so she sighed secretly and went out to the direction of Jiang Yunxuan. When she was halfway there, she saw someone rushing to the backyard, and she didn't know what had happened.

When she was rushing back with Baoyu, she heard that Brother Zhen next door had passed away.

Perhaps it was because his health improved that his desires grew, or perhaps he understood the benefits of the reverse side of the Fengyue Treasure Mirror in general and began to have inappropriate expectations for its positive uses.

But now he is gone and no one knows the truth. Anyway, the result is that Jia Zhen couldn't resist the temptation of curiosity and turned over the front of the Fengyue Treasure Mirror to take a look.

He thought he knew what was on the other side and would not be obsessed with it, but he didn't know that the reason why this magic weapon was a magic weapon was that he couldn't avoid being obsessed with it just by wanting to.

He also seriously overestimated his self-control, especially when faced with beautiful women.

The result was obvious. He was just like Jia Rui. He looked again and again, and then... it was over!
When he was exercising with the treasure mirror, he didn't want anyone to see his predicament, so he drove everyone out of the room and left no one to watch over him. When it was time for dinner at night, someone went in to ask and found that he was erect.

The servant hurriedly informed Mrs. You, and Mrs. You hurriedly informed Master Zhan.

When Zhan Ershisi looked over, he knew how the man died. He quickly took back the Mirror of Love and Lust, and then asked someone to call Jia Rong back to handle the funeral.

Now that Ningguo Mansion is basically under his control, and now that Jia Zhen is dead, it has completely fallen into his hands.

Master Zhen died of impotence, which was extremely shameful, so Master Zhan first gave out some silver to keep the news secret and told everyone to keep the elder’s name secret and to speak with one voice, saying only that he died of a sudden heart attack.

Although everyone felt that Jia Zhen's death was sudden, no one knew the positive effects of the Mirror of Love and Lust. Seeing the way he died, no one thought that someone had killed him, so it could only be attributed to death from illness.

As for Jia Rong, he had no feelings for this cheap father. Now that he saw him dead, although the title could no longer be inherited, he was able to successfully become the head of the family. He was so happy that he didn't care how he died.

However, he still had to keep up appearances. While pretending to be sad, Jia Rong sent messages to his grandfather Jia Jing who was practicing in a Taoist temple and to his relatives and friends.

Since Jia Zhen held the hereditary third-rank title of General Weilie, he had to ask for permission from the court to stop the funeral and send it away.

After reporting to the Yin-Yang Department of the Imperial Observatory for selection of an auspicious date, permission was granted to keep the body for 49 days. First, a mourning hall was set up in the hall to receive relatives and friends to express their grief, and then the body was moved to Huifang Garden for rest.

Zhan Ershisi felt a little uneasy, so he became generous and spent money like water. He was determined to give Brother Zhen a decent funeral and let him go in glory.

It turned out that the coffin of the old Prince Yi Zhong that was used for Qin Keqing in the book was now in the hands of Jia Zhen and was placed in the center of the hall.

There were all kinds of incense, candles, gold ingots, paper people, paper horses... everything around, filling up the entire mourning hall.

Dozens of monks and Taoists were specially invited to chant various sutras and pray for the deceased to absolve his sins and cleanse his grievances.

After the current emperor heard the news, he specially sent a eunuch to express his condolences. Although Jia Rong's generation could no longer inherit the title, he was granted the title of Yunqiwei to prevent him from starving to death.

Only Master Jia Jing was free and easy. Even after his son died, he refused to go home and be involved in worldly affairs, and just let his grandson Jia Rong take care of things.

Mrs. You and Jia Rong were busy running around receiving guests from the families of the four kings and eight dukes.

During these forty-nine days alone, people came and went on Ningrong Street day and night, officials came and went, and countless princes, nobles, officials and gentry came to pay their respects.

In order to receive the numerous guests who came to pay their respects, the Ningguo Mansion had to build a sacrificial shed, set up a banquet, and prepare two opera troupes to entertain everyone. They wanted to make the funeral a joyous occasion and mourn without sadness, which was the most decent thing for everyone.

If you count it all, there are countless complicated things to do.

Fearing that Jia Rong and the others would be too busy, Zhan Ershisi asked Old Lady You to bring his second sister over to help, and Xiuyan and Xiangling also came to help. If an outsider didn't understand, they might think that the Zhan family was arranging a funeral!
Mr. Zhan didn't care about this. He didn't try to avoid suspicion and was only focused on making sure that Brother Zhen's funeral was handled properly.

Everyone in Rongguo Mansion knew that the two families were on good terms, and they were not surprised by this.

When the many guests coming and going saw this, they all gave him a thumbs up and praised him, saying that Master Zhan was kind and righteous, and Master Jia had made the right choice of person!

But when there were no people from Ningguo Mansion around, this group of people began to whisper.

"Hey, you guys tell me, how did Mr. Zhen die?"

"Didn't you say that there is no such thing as a sudden illness?"

"You really believe it? Don't you think about it? A few days ago, Master Zhen's health was getting better and better. He said that the treasure mirror nourished his body, but in just over a month, he passed away."

"Hiss...From what you said, there is something wrong with the treasure mirror?"

"The treasure mirror should be fine. Isn't Jia Rui alive and well? But I think there is something wrong with Master Zhen's death."

"What do you mean? Was he murdered?"

"It's hard to say! Think about it, the treasure mirror is so good, how many big shots would want it? Although Master Zhen is also a descendant of a duke, he is now on the verge of decline. When it comes to Master Rong's generation, the title is gone. There is a saying that a man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure..."

"Hiss... You can't say that casually..."

"Am I talking nonsense? Wait and see who gets the treasure mirror in the future!"

A group of people were whispering there, thinking that no one could hear them, but they didn't know that Zhan Ersi had sharp ears and eyes, and had heard it all, and shook his head speechlessly.

With the previous experience of Jia Zhen, how could he dare to let anyone use this precious mirror at random again?

As for what this group of people said, it was pure nonsense or deliberate smearing.

They are all born as officials, so if they want something, they will definitely resort to bullying. They just need to send someone to hint at it, and Jia Zhen would dare not refuse. There is no need to kill people and steal treasures.

He just shook his head and smiled, ignoring them. Anyway, as long as they didn't say anything like "collusion with domestic and foreign forces, murdering her husband", he would just let them do what they wanted.

However, he also knew that this was a sign of the Ningguo Mansion's declining influence.

If Jia Zhen were still alive, no one would dare to talk nonsense like this.

Although Jia Zhen is not a capable person, he has a wide network of contacts and his influence is still considerable.

Although Jia Rong has now inherited the Ningguo Mansion, he has not taken over any of the connections that Jia Zhen should have handed over to him bit by bit.

I don’t know what Jia Zhen is thinking. He looks down on his own son. Not to mention teaching him well, he has never even taken him to visit other people’s homes, as if he is not his biological son... Oh, could he really not be his biological son?
Zhan Ershisi shook his head and drove this nonsensical idea out of his mind. He stopped thinking about it and focused on entertaining the guests. After all, even if the Ningguo Mansion was destroyed in the future, it would not be a day or two. By that time, the Ningguo Mansion would have already been owned by the Zhan family.

They were busy from morning till night, and only after the last wave of guests left did the mansion become deserted. Only then did Zhan Ershisi and others breathe a sigh of relief and relax.

The first day is probably the busiest, with the most distinguished and numerous people coming. After the first seven days, there will be fewer and fewer people. Basically, after the seventh day, those who should have come have already come, and the rest are just scattered guests.

Jia Rong then brought Keqing over to express their gratitude to the relatives and friends who came to help one by one. They exchanged pleasantries again, and then the emperor arranged a place for everyone to rest.

Although Jia Zhen is gone and Jia Rong has become the head of the family, Master Zhen's courtyard cannot be occupied for the time being to avoid gossip.

Moreover, Jia Zhen died in his own bedroom. Now a Buddhist or Taoist master has been hired to set up an incense table and fruit offerings in the bedroom, filled it with instruments for the salvation of the soul, and pasted talismans all over the room. No one will be allowed to enter before the funeral.

Jia Rong brought Keqing back to the room. As soon as he sat down, he saw Keqing opening the wardrobe again. The wardrobe was full of beautiful and exquisite dresses produced by various exhibition halls.

As soon as he saw this situation, Jia Rong naturally knew what Keqing was going to do.

He didn't think it was a big deal before, but now that he has become the head of the family, he inexplicably feels a little weird, and always feels that things shouldn't be the same as before.

Before his master died, he had to give his wife away to be enjoyed by others, just like a grandson, so that he could exchange it for gold and silver to enjoy. But now he is the master of Ningguo Mansion. Can't he use all the gold and silver in the mansion as he pleases?
We can't let the master die in vain, right?

Now that this mansion has a lot of money thanks to the wine business, he will never be short of money again. So is there any need to push his beautiful wife into the arms of someone else?

In terms of appearance and figure, even the top prostitutes in the brothel could not compare with my wife.

After thinking of this, Jia Rong's heart became hot again. He smiled and reached out to pull Keqing, saying with a drooling face:

"Ma'am, we haven't been intimate for a long time."

"Well, sir, I have never seen you in these formal clothes before. Look..."

Keqing glanced at him strangely, waved her hand to open his arm, and said in a gloomy tone:
"If you want women, go to a brothel, or take a few concubines. Don't bother me."

Jia Rong was furious and wanted to assert his authority over his husband, so he glared at her and shouted:

"From now on, I will be the master of this mansion. I have the final say in everything in this mansion. You..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Keqing curl her lips in disdain and sneered:

"Why, have you grown wings and want to rebel?"

"Go tell your wife this and see if she will pay attention to you."

"You are a master, do you have money in your pocket? Do you want to be a master?"

Jia Rong then shouted:
"All the silver in this mansion belongs to me, how come there is no silver?"

"Ha ha……"

Keqing sneered and said disdainfully:

"I suppose the master has never looked at the accounts of the mansion?"

"Do you think the master will leave you a lot of money?"

After saying this, Keqing twisted her slender waist and walked out of the door with her high heels clicking. Jia Rong was stunned for a moment, then rushed out to find Youshi and asked to see the account book.

Yu Shi was prepared, so she took out the account book from the mansion and placed it in front of him.

"Come on, Rong Ge'er, since you want to see it, then take a closer look."

"Not counting the cost of this funeral and the gift money, before today, our family was already in a lot of debt."

"But fortunately, the creditors are all Mr. Zhan. He is a righteous man with a lot of money, and he is not in a hurry to collect the debt, so it is not a big problem."

Jia Rong took the account book and flipped through it, and was immediately dumbfounded.

Although he was not very proficient in accounts, he could at least understand them. He saw everywhere on the accounts that on a certain day of a certain month, the master took out so much silver to buy something, or on a certain day of a certain month, the master bought so many jars of fine wine on credit from the Zhan Mansion, with a total value of so many taels.

He frowned and thought carefully. These things were real. It seemed that the master had really bought these things that day. There was no fictional element in them.

“Why did it cost so much?”

In response to Jia Rong's questioning, Youshi spread her hands.

"You'll have to ask the master about this, but there's no need to ask now."

"Ever since the mansion and Master Zhan started doing the liquor business, the master has started to spend lavishly, never tiring of fine food, and often going out with his group of friends to have a good time."

"It's because of Master Zhan's kindness that he allowed the eldest master to owe all kinds of debts, considering that our mansion has members in the wine and beverage business and can use them as a deduction when settling accounts in the future. Otherwise, our mansion would have collapsed long ago!"

"Brother Rong, you came at the right time. The funeral this time cost a lot of money. The money in the mansion's account is about to run out again. Why don't you go and borrow some money from Master Zhan?"

"What?" Jia Rong was immediately furious. "You want me to go and borrow money from him?"

Originally, Jia Rong did not think there was anything wrong with being servile to Master Zhan, but now that his father was dead and it was time for him to be the master of the household, he suddenly found it difficult to accept this life of still being servile.

It was as if she had been a daughter-in-law for many years and had finally become a mother-in-law, and it was time for her to turn the tables and become the master of the household, but instead she was hit on the head and told that she had just changed her mother-in-law and had to continue to endure.

No one can stand this!
Did the master really die in vain?

Mr. Zhan knew that Jia Rong might get angry, and he had already told Mrs. You about it. Mrs. You immediately sneered:
"In the past, the master was the one who borrowed money. Now that the master is gone, you can't do it. Do you think you can let a woman like me do it?"

Jia Rong immediately jumped up and shouted:
"I am the master, I have the final say, if I tell you to do it, you do it, otherwise... otherwise I will kick you out of the house!"

After hearing this, Youshi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Before, because of Jia Zhen's presence, every time she wanted to have an affair, she had to find an excuse to go back to her parents' home first, and then wait for Master Zhan to come over in the middle of the night to steal her away.

Although this kind of sneaky behavior was quite exciting, she felt particularly uncomfortable just seeing that slutty Keqing was enjoying herself semi-publicly in the mansion under the cover of Jia Rong.

Now Jia Rong actually used this reason to scare her, which was exactly what she wanted!

She raised her thumb and praised:
"it is good!"

"Brother Rong has finally shown some masculinity, like a real man!"

"You don't need to drive me away. I will go back to my parents' home today and never come back, so as not to bother your Master Rong!"

After saying this, Youshi sneered and threw the account book in front of Jia Rong, then turned around and left without saying anything.

"Haha...then go ahead, go!"

Jia Rong had never thought that she was actually going to leave. At first he thought she was teasing him and folded his arms and sneered. But when he saw that she was about to disappear from his sight, he became impatient and hurried after her, shouting:
"Hey... Hey... Wait a minute, wait a minute..."

He couldn't help but be anxious. Now that the eldest master had just died, he had driven the eldest wife away. If this got out, he would be scolded to death!
Even if he really wanted to kick them out, he would have to wait until the funeral was over and the storm had died down, and then slowly find a fault and handle the matter in a low-key manner.

Who will care about a widow whose husband has died at that time?

But now the funeral has only been closed for one day, and it hasn't even been the seventh day. If he does this, he would be acting stupidly and would definitely be condemned by everyone.

Jia Rong chased after her and finally stopped Youshi in front of the gate, smiling apologetically.

"Don't be upset, ma'am. I was just anxious and said nonsense."

"No matter how big or small the affairs are in this mansion, how can Madam be left out?"

"In the past, my wife was in charge of all the household affairs. Even if you asked me to do it, I wouldn't be able to do it, right?"

"So I'm afraid that my wife will have to step in to borrow money this time."

Seeing his miserable appearance, Youshi looked down on him even more. She crossed her arms over her chest, looked up at the moon in the sky, and said in a gloomy tone:
"What's so hard about this?"

"You can ask Keqing to borrow it!"

"All I need is Keqing to whisper in Master Zhan's ear. How much money can't I borrow?"

"Besides, it's not like we won't pay it back. We don't need to use the future wine and beverage revenue to pay off the debt!"

After hearing this, Jia Rong's pretty face suddenly turned purple. He felt so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood. His lips moved twice but he couldn't say anything.

"What's wrong?"

"It seems that Rong Ge'er is reluctant to let go?"

"It's really funny. That day you begged me to help you trick Keqing and send her to Master Zhan's bed."

"Why do you regret it now?"

"If Rong'er really doesn't want to go on like this, then it's simple. You just need to pay back all the money. We will no longer owe Mr. Zhan a debt, and naturally we won't have to be so servile."

"If you don't indulge Keqing then, will Master Zhan still be able to run into your room and do something to you?"

Jia Rong's face turned pale and blue, and he smiled awkwardly:

"Madam, you are joking again. How can we afford to pay back such a large sum of money?"

"What's there to be ashamed of?"

Yu Shi had a stern face and counted the numbers on her fingers one by one.

"Not to mention our current share in the wine business, just the several farms outside the city and the several shops in the city, add up to a lot of money. Sell them and it will be more than enough to pay off the debt."

"As long as you can endure the hardship in the future, Rong'er, and spend less, why can't you live like this?"

When Jia Rong heard the word "hardship", he immediately shuddered and waved his hands hastily, saying:
"Madam, please don't say anything. I will go back to find Keqing and ask her to go and borrow the money."

Looking at Jia Rong's back as he fled in a hurry like a stray dog, Youshi sighed and gave up completely.

Originally, she planned to give Jia Rong a chance to start a new life, but unfortunately, he didn't have that idea at all.

She also saw through Jia Rong's character. He looked fierce but was weak inside, and was cold and heartless. Although he had given up the idea of ​​expelling her from the Jia Mansion, he would definitely cause trouble after the funeral.

Although she herself no longer cared about being the eldest lady of the Ningguo Mansion, giving up on her own and being driven away were two different things.

Rather than letting him do something naughty at that time, it is better to find a way to completely dispel his idea.

In this case, what else is there to say? We might as well just change the Ningguo Mansion's surname to Zhan.

After Yu Shi figured it out, she quickly returned to her room, washed and dressed, and headed to the small courtyard where Master Zhan was staying.

Mr. Zhan was now hugging Keqing, testing her leg skills, but he heard the sound of high heels, and a person came to the door and knocked gently.

"Is Master Zhan here?"

"My name is Youshi, and I have something to discuss with you."

"Ah!" Keqing cried out softly, and her body suddenly froze.

She was sent to Zhan 24's bed by coercion and inducement from Youshi, so she has always been distant from Youshi.

When in public, even if the two of them met, they would pretend nothing had happened, acting like the elder was wise and the younger was obedient, and never mentioning the secret matter.

Even though Keqing had let go of her emotions in front of Master Zhan and had served him together with many of the Zhan family's concubines and maids, she never showed it in front of Youshi.

When Jia Zhen was around, in order to keep him in the dark, Youshi would go back to her parents' home every time she had an affair and was never at home. Naturally, Keqing didn't know about what was going on between the two of them.

Now, Youshi suddenly came to visit her in the middle of the night, which immediately startled her.

Master Zhan was not afraid. Now that Brother Zhen was gone, there were not many people left in the mansion who needed to be kept secret. Even if Keqing knew about the affair between the two, it would not be a big deal.

Moreover, when he heard the tone of Youshi's words, he knew that this woman was playing tricks again, so of course he had to cooperate well. He hugged Keqing in his arms with one hand and laughed loudly:
"I thought it was someone who came to visit in the middle of the night, but it turned out to be my sister-in-law."

"It is late autumn now and the weather outside is getting colder. Please come in quickly, sister-in-law, or you will catch a cold."

Youshi pushed the door open and entered. Keqing shrank her head in fear and crawled into the bed, covering her whole body with the quilt so that not a single part of her body was exposed.

After entering the house, Youshi closed the door again, walked slowly into the bedroom with her slender waist, and when she saw the figure bulging high in the quilt, she smiled, bowed, and said:
"When things got tough at home, it was thanks to Master Zhan's help. Otherwise, we, an orphan and a widow, really wouldn't know what to do."

Zhan Ershisi then lay on the bed and bowed, saying:

"My sister-in-law, that's too polite. Brother Zhen and I are like-minded and have similar interests. I should take care of his family."

Yu Shi then glanced at him and said seriously:
"Now that the pillar of our family has been lost, we don't know how we are going to survive in the future."

"Fortunately, Master Zhan is still here. We thought about it and decided to let Rong'er worship Master Zhan as his godfather and ask Master Zhan to help support the family."

Zhan Ershisi raised his eyebrows and laughed out loud:

"Since my sister-in-law said so, could Rong Ge'er agree?"

Yu took two steps forward, sat her perky buttocks on the head of the bed, leaned over, and said sweetly:
"What does his wish matter?"

"Master, your wishes are the most important!"

She was much older than Keqing, so naturally she was thicker-skinned. Now that she was no longer restrained by Jia Zhen, she became even more unscrupulous. She was not afraid of being found out by Keqing and she simply reached out and slapped Keqing hard on the buttocks.

Keqing's body trembled in the quilt, thinking that it was Master Zhan who hit her, and she obediently began to bite the prey, but she heard Youshi outside continue to say:

"If this matter were to become public knowledge, it would definitely not be okay, but we don't need to let outsiders know what's going on in our family."

"Rong'er is a man who will do anything for anyone who feeds him. As long as there is enough honeysuckle to use every month, he won't bother to care about anything else."

"Tomorrow I will call Lai Er to re-do the accounts and increase the expenses of the funeral several times. Then Master Zhan can just lend him the money."

"As long as he owes a lot of money, there's no need to worry that he won't obey orders."

"By then, let alone recognizing you as your adoptive father, he can even secretly give my aunt to you as a mistress without any name or status. He can do that!"

Seeing that she was so considerate of him, Master Zhan smiled and put his hand into her arms, raised his eyebrows and said teasingly:
"If I become the master of this mansion, where will my sister-in-law be?"

Yu-shih held her chest high and panted:
"Of course I will always be the first wife of this mansion. Could it be that the master is willing to drive me away?"

Keqing, lying in bed, felt something was not right the more she listened. She quickly stopped arguing and secretly opened the quilt a little to look outside. As a result, she saw a large hand moving wantonly inside the purple hip skirt beside the bed.

She was stunned at first, then she suddenly threw back the quilt, looked up and saw that the two of them were already biting each other.

Keqing could not help but get furious. She wiped her saliva with her hand, pointed at the two of them, and shouted in shame and anger:

"What a couple!"

"I should have guessed it!"

Mr. Zhan laughed and threw the quilt over them both.

Keqing was about to struggle and resist, but she heard Youshi chuckle in her ear and said:

"My dear wife, do you still hate me for this matter?"

"I always thought that you would thank me in your heart."

"I heard from the master that you even went to the bridal chamber with him and gave him advice, trying to get me into his bed too."

"You don't need to do anything now. I'll deliver it to your door. Isn't that just what you want?"

Keqing hesitated for just a moment before being hugged and kissed by Youshi, who used all kinds of tactics on her. She symbolically refused and then went along with Youshi.

The details are omitted in 10,000 words, so that's enough for 10,000 words.
