Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 323 Chaos
But Mrs. Wang never expected that before she could find a suitable partner for Jia Baoyu, she would be greeted with bad news.

The palace, in front of the palace gate.

Mrs. Wang supported Jia Mu and came to the guard guarding the door.

"We are the retinue of the virtuous concubine, please wait and see us when we enter the palace!"

"Concubine Xian De made a mistake, and the emperor ordered her to stay behind closed doors to reflect on her mistakes, and no visits are allowed!"

"What? What mistake did you make?" Jia Mu said hurriedly.

"How would I know?"

"When did it happen?" Mrs. Wang asked.

"How can I, a guard guarding the gate, know about the affairs of the harem?"

Although Yuanchun was ordered to reflect, the Jia family was an honorable family after all, and the guards did not go too far.

"How could it be? Last month we went to the palace to report to the empress about Girl Qin. Everything was fine at that time. It has only been ten days. Could it be because of this matter?"

Jia Mu was startled and said, "No! Your Majesty has already sent someone to tell you about Girl Qin, saying that the Emperor has approved it!"

When she asked when it would happen, Mrs. Wang already had a guess in her mind.

I thought that after more than half a month, there was still no sound, because Lai Shangrong was generous and didn't care about Baoyu.

Now that I think about it, it's not that I won't report it, but that I'm planning a big one.

But it may not be that long. After all, he has not been in the palace for more than ten days, and Yuanchun has no chance to send news to his family. It may be some time.

Compared with Jia Mu who has no master, Mrs. Wang has a backbone.

According to past experience, the person who tied the bell needs to be untied, and he has to start with Lai Shangrong.

With this idea, I felt a little more confident in my heart, and comforted me: "Old lady, don't worry, there are many people here, and there is no way we can do it here. We should go back first and think of a way."

Jia Mu then came to her senses and could not panic at this time. She turned back to where the sedan chair was parked and saw several servants carrying the sedan chair chatting, unaware of what was happening here.

Nodding his head, he said, "You can't let your family know about this, lest people change their minds!"

With Mrs. Wang's support, she came down to the sedan chair and ordered: "Your Majesty is not feeling well, let's go back first!"

Returning to Rongfu and arriving at Rongqing Hall, the two of them retreated.

Mrs. Wang couldn't wait to say: "My daughter-in-law thought about it carefully on the way back. What the old lady said is timely. Now we still have to stabilize the family. We must not let people know about it, lest people's minds change!"

Mother Jia could no longer conceal her panic: "It's just that such a big thing happened, and we don't even know the cause and effect. We have to send someone to find out, otherwise it's not an option to keep it a secret!"

Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth and said: "Old lady, don't worry, we can't enter the palace and inquire about the situation, but as Shang Rong's holy family is familiar with several father-in-laws in the palace, as long as he is willing to help inquire, there will be no problem! "

"Yes, yes! Send someone to wait at Lai's house quickly, and invite them over as soon as he gets home!" Mother Jia quickly urged.

"Don't! The old lady should still eat and drink, and just pretend it's nothing. Otherwise, if we hit a wall in front of the palace gate and call Shang Rong in for a secret talk as soon as we come back, we will inevitably reveal our faults."

After a pause, he added: "Leave this matter to my wife. After all, I am Baoqin's godmother. I heard from Feng Yatou that my concubine invited Shang Rong several times, but he refused. It happened that she took advantage of the Xue family For the reason, invite someone over and ask him quietly when the time comes."

She and Jia Mu had different ideas. Since she guessed that the problem lay with Lai Shangrong, it was no longer important to find out why Yuanchun was punished. Solving the problem was the key.

And it should be sooner rather than later, otherwise if it is delayed, Yuanchun in the palace will be in trouble, and it will be too late to regret it.

Although the trouble was caused by his son, it would be useless to blame him now.

Of course, she never thought about repaying her son's debt to her mother. At least for now, she still had Aunt Xue's path as an option.

Of course, she didn't dare to disclose this arrangement to Jia Mu, and she couldn't allow Jia Mu to be present, so she followed Jia Mu's wishes and made an unflattering excuse to keep her from participating. "That's okay! But people's hearts are apart, so my concubine has to keep it a secret!"

"Don't worry, old lady, my wife will go first!"

After leaving Rongqing Hall, Mrs. Wang did not rush to find Aunt Xue. Instead, she went to Jia Zheng's outer study room first. After rummaging through the cabinets, she finally took out a porcelain bottle, opened the mouth of the bottle, put it to the tip of her nose and took a gentle sniff. Feeling a sense of dryness rising up in his body, he let out a sigh of relief.

He carefully put the porcelain vase into his arms, left Jia Zheng's study room, told Caixia to go to Lai's house, and issued an order to invite Lai Shangrong, and then rushed to Xue's house without stopping.

It has to be said that although the women of the Wang family may have different purposes, their behavior styles are almost the same.

Wang Xifeng drugged Lai Shangrong back then, and now Mrs. Wang has the same idea.

Of course, to make things happen, Aunt Xue had to be taken down as well.

Although the drug may not cause Lai Shangrong to be unhappy, as long as he does a perfect job in the aftermath, uses coercion and inducement, and makes Aunt Xue promise to come and go often, I believe he can be satisfied.

"Why is my sister here?"

When Aunt Xue saw Mrs. Wang entering the room, she quickly got up to greet her, and pulled her to sit down on the kang.

Then she moved to the other side of the kang table, and smoothed the back hem of her lavender floral skirt into a full moon before slowly falling on the kang.

Although she was covered by the kang table, Mrs. Wang could not see the scenery after squeezing, but as Aunt Xue sat cross-legged, her plump thighs were directly visible in front of her eyes.

Seeing Aunt Xue's pampered and white body like jade, Mrs. Wang didn't feel the slightest bit of jealousy in the past, on the contrary, she was quite fortunate.

He complained: "We are sisters, why don't you tell me when you have troubles?"

"The difficulty?" Aunt Xue asked in confusion: "Where do you start talking about this?"

"I heard from Girl Feng that you invited Shang Rong several times, but he rejected him all the time. I have sent Caixia to invite him to come over tonight. You can go to Rongxi Hall with me later."

"This..." Aunt Xue's invitation to Lai Shangrong was fake, and the opportunity to create him and Baochai was real. However, Mrs. Wang had good intentions, and if she declined, she would be suspicious.

"Then thank you sister!"

Mrs. Wang glanced at Aunt Xue's gauze skirt and said with a smile: "Why are we two so polite? I think the time is almost here, so why don't you come with me first, lest Shang Rong doesn't see anyone when he comes and loses his etiquette?" .”

In fact, it would still be a while before the separation of Yamen, but the weather in April was still a bit cool in the morning and evening. She was afraid that the sun would set soon and Aunt Xue would have to add more clothes, which would not be beautiful.

How did Aunt Xue know that she was already regarded as a bargaining chip in Mrs. Wang's eyes.

However, she was physically timid and hot. Although she was accustomed to dressing lightly at home, she would still be careful when going out, not to mention that Lai Shangrong was present.

"Sister, wait a moment! Let me change my clothes first!"

"It's just a meal. He is a junior, why do you take it so seriously?"

Although Mrs. Wang knew what Aunt Xue meant, she deliberately led the conversation astray.

"This……"

Aunt Xue looked down and was about to explain. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wang had already stood up and pulled her up from the kang.

Complained: "Okay! If you are too solemn, it will appear that I am too casual!"

The two of them have the same plump figure, and they are exactly the same in terms of Qiere. Although Mrs. Wang is slightly more covered than her, she is only slightly better.

And when she said this, Aunt Xue couldn't insist on changing clothes, so she had to push her back and follow her to Rongxi Hall.
