Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 311
(Happy New Year's Eve, everyone!)

After leaving Rongxi Hall, Lai Shangrong was not in a hurry to go home.

Instead, he came to Wang Xifeng’s yard.

Now that we have made a plan that it is better to block than to open up, of course we cannot do without an audience, although judging from Mrs. Wang's attitude, there should be arrangements.

But when he couldn't bring anyone with him, he took the initiative to explain to the sisters. This would inevitably lead to the suspicion that there was no 300 taels of silver in this place.

Therefore, someone needs to question themselves before they can talk smoothly.

For others to ask, the traces are too obvious. Only Jia Baoyu is the most suitable for this role.

Of course, Jia Baoyu would not willingly build a ladder for him, so some means were needed.

This was also the main purpose for him to come to Wang Xifeng.

"Ouch! Why is Shang Rong here now?"

Ancient times were no better than modern times. Traditional Chinese medicine focused on nourishment. In addition, Wang Xifeng heard hope from Lai Shangrong and was afraid that it would affect future fertility, so she was still sick in bed.

"The second wife has something to do with me, and she just happened to come over to see you."

"I'm looking for Shang Rong late at night. Is there something important?" Wang Xifeng was as usual, afraid of missing any information.

He followed the trend and told the story about Miaoyu. After all, the second wife of the Xue family was still kept in the dark about taking concubines. It was related to Xue Baoqin's reputation, so he couldn't spread it everywhere.

After Wang Xifeng heard this, she felt more and more that she had seen the right person. There was Ning Mansion in front of her and Miaoyu in the back. As expected, Lai Shangrong would surely retaliate.

He said teasingly: "Sister-in-law has long been dissatisfied with Miaoyu's behavior. If she knew about it, she would definitely thank Shangrong!"

"Then just tell her to watch the show tomorrow!"

"Is Shang Rong trying to save Xiu Yan's face?" Wang Xifeng asked tentatively.

Lai Shangrong did not hide anything from her and explained his plan to her.

"Shang Rong wants me to reveal it to Bao Yu?"

Lai Shangrong shook his head and said, "Send someone to Yihongyuan to call out the attacker."

Wang Xifeng was ill in bed and rushed to Yihongyuan to reveal the matter. Jia Baoyu was not a strict talker, so it was inevitable that the truth would be revealed.

As for Xiren, he was from Yihongyuan. Even if he knew that she was the one who leaked the information, he would only think it was a momentary negligence. Lai Shangrong also believed that she could cover up the past.

It's just that it's not convenient for him to come looking for someone at night. Even during the day, given his relationship with Jia Baoyu, it would be too obvious to come looking for someone.

"She is also from Shangrong?" Xiren naturally wouldn't take responsibility for him for nothing, and Wang Xifeng knew it right away.

"That's not true, it's just that I'm holding onto her." Lai Shangrong never regarded Xiren as his own woman.

"Then if I call her over, will our affairs be exposed?"

If the attacker was Lai Shangrong's woman, then Wang Xifeng wouldn't have anything to worry about when he asked her to come over. But hearing what Lai Shangrong meant, she just had a handle, so she couldn't help but hesitate.

Lai Shangrong leaned over and kissed Wang Xifeng on the forehead, and said with a smile: "Am I going to call you into danger? Just find any excuse to call her over, and I will stop her on the road!"

For Xiren, her aunt's identity was more important than anything else. She submitted to Lai Shangrong just to keep her identity. If she knew about her affair with Wang Xifeng, it was hard to say whether she could be blackmailed.

Therefore, even if Wang Xifeng didn't mention it, he would not wait for her in Wang Xifeng's courtyard.

"That's not right! Shang Rong is still standing guard outside the three reverse rooms, waiting for her to come back from my place, and then pretend to meet her by chance."

Regarding her own safety, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but be cautious. No matter who she sent to call the attackers, they must come with her.Only by pretending to meet by chance when you go out can you make it easier to clear up the relationship.

Her method was indeed more appropriate, and Lai Shangrong didn't mind waiting a little longer.

To be on the safe side, Wang Xifeng still sent Ping'er to call for someone. After all, if Lai Shangrong came over at this time, there might not be any maids who would see him. If he met a talkative person and started talking to him on the street, something bad might happen.

"See you later!"

Lai Shangrong left the yard and hid in three reverse rooms.

When he saw Ping'er leading Xiren into the yard, he left the house and stood under the eaves of the house.

After all, it was just an excuse to come to her, so in just one cup of tea, I saw a figure walking around the screen wall.

Lai Shangrong also pretended and turned towards the big flower hall.

Xiren saw Lai Shangrong's obvious startle and was about to sneak away quietly, but he didn't want Lai Shangrong to turn around.

"Did you offend Aunt Hua somewhere? Why didn't you even say hello when you saw me?"

"Uncle Lai!" Xiren said bravely.

The last time it snowed, she was infected with wind and cold, and her body was covered with scratches. She was really frightened for more than half a month, so her first reaction when she saw Lai Shangrong was to run away.

This was not the place to talk, so Lai Shangrong nodded in the direction of the Great Flower Hall and then walked in.

The attacker looked around hurriedly and quickly followed in.

When she arrived at the big flower hall, she pulled the belt around her waist and urged: "Master, hurry up! It's late at night, I'm afraid the second master will be suspicious if you go back late!"

Lai Shangrong originally didn't have any bad thoughts. Since Xi Ren took the initiative, he was not a humble person.

He smiled evilly and said, "Hey! It depends on what kind of fast Aunt Hua wants!"

…………

More than half an hour later, Xiren staggered back to Yihongyuan, not daring to make any noise. He went straight back to his room and snuggled up on the bed.

Ever since she was mentioned as a monthly by Mrs. Wang, she relied on her status and the work of keeping watch at night had been handed over to She Yue and Qiu Wen.

In the past, she would occasionally come into the house to serve her, but since being coerced by Lai Shangrong, the painless and itchy food was really tasteless. In addition, she had been ill for more than a month during the snowy day last time, so she just took on the role of aunt instead of being an aunt. It's my duty.

However, the woman snuggled up on the bed at this moment was not thinking about something, but Lai Shangrong's instructions, which really put her in trouble.

She really couldn't understand what the meaning of Uncle Lai's move was. Was it necessary to stimulate the second master?

Deliberately letting him take the initiative and then being scolded by his wife?
But so what?After all, the second master is the wife's most beloved son. Could he still be as harsh as the master did last time?
After all, King Zhongshun was involved last time. Can Uncle Lai be better than the prince?
In her opinion, although Lai Shangrong's status is not as good as before, the Lai family was once a servant of the Rong Mansion. She really doesn't understand what Lai Shangrong thinks about killing a thousand enemies and damaging himself eight hundred.

She didn't dare not follow Lai Shangrong's instructions. Not to mention that she was just a aunt-to-be, even a serious aunt, it was only a matter of words to drive her out of the house.

But if Lai Shangrong's instructions were followed, Jia Baoyu would definitely not be content with his temper, and he would not be able to hide any trouble he would cause.

If Mrs. Wang knew that she had leaked the news to Baoyu, how could she have spared herself?

At this point, I can only pray that some blind person will spread the news to Jia Baoyu's ears tomorrow and get rid of his own hands.

Thinking of this, a figure popped up in his mind, and he suddenly felt refreshed.
