Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 359 Soothe the Heart
In Rongguo Mansion, in the back building of Rongxi Hall, a hearty groan came from the two-story building.

Immediately came Madam Wang's voice: "Has Shang Rong greeted the palace?"

"Waiting for good news!" Lai Shangrong said in an understatement.

"Hey! Thank you so much Shangrong! Or..."

"That's it for today! It's too late to go to Ping'er!"

Since Mrs. Wang came to visit in person again, he has gradually stayed at Rongguo Mansion more and more often, mainly because of Mrs. Wang's request.

Lai Shangrong doesn't intend to help with this matter. He thinks that once Mrs. Wang comes back to her senses, she probably won't lower her body and stay low. She can fool her now, so she will naturally keep more memories so that she can slowly reflect on it in the future. .

If it weren't for this concern and Lai Shangrong's character, Mrs. Wang would have had some inexplicable bonds with Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng, Li Wan or Aunt Zhao, and he would have arranged several competitions on the same stage.

At this time, in order to avoid breaking up in the future and being caught out, we can only keep those unknown intentions deep in our hearts.

Go downstairs, pass through three buildings, and come to Wang Xifeng's courtyard.

"Uncle Lai is here!"

The maids and wives in the courtyard were already not surprised, but instead greeted him warmly.

"Where's Ping'er?"

Lai Shangrong asked in a pretentious manner. When he saw everyone looking at the main room, he raised his hand, lifted the door curtain and walked in.

Wang Xifeng couldn't bear to move around every time, so she packed up the vacant room to the west of the main house and used it as Ping'er's daily residence.

Of course, this is just a public announcement. As for where to stay at night, it depends on Uncle Lai's interest.

I have to say that this was absolutely impossible in the past, but now Mrs. Wang turns a blind eye, and with Jia Lian's acquiescence, the threshold of the entire Rong Mansion has been lowered.

There were only three people in the room, Wang Xifeng, Ping'er and Xiao Hong. Lai Shangrong put a bear hug behind him and held the bent Wang Xifeng in his arms.

Wang Xifeng twisted her waist, swayed her hips slightly, turned around and said with a smile: "I am still proud of Miss Ping, but I don't dare to take the lead from her!"

Lai Shangrong secretly thought to himself that Mrs. Wang had already eaten this chip alive, and said with a smile: "Second Mistress still wants to take the lead? Isn't it just right to subdue you first, and then find the equalizer?"

He was joking about Wang Xifeng's attributes against Wu Zha, and Ping'er and Xiaohong also smiled knowingly.

"Is it possible that Uncle Lai is delaying on purpose, trying to take advantage of the slave family? If he can't borrow the money and can't fulfill the agreement, won't the slave family have to be the master for the rest of his life..."

"Hehehe! There is no limit to the number of contracts signed by the uncle!"

While teasing, he walked towards the back room like a conjoined twin.

……

About an hour later...

The rain is gone and the wind is picking up.

Four people lined up in the room. Lai Shangrong held Wang Xifeng in one arm and Ping'er Xiaohong in the other, leaning back on the Babu bed.

Wang Xifeng tucked up the quilt and turned sideways to face Lai Shangrong. After all, she couldn't hold it back and asked, "It's been so long, why hasn't my wife gotten off Bao Yatou's errand?"

"Uh..." Lai Shangrong never mentioned it to Mrs. Wang at all, so he could only cover it up: "Isn't this the plan to give you a child? I was thinking, if I mention it now, you have already injured your body before. What if? She will be pregnant again by then, and she will be in a dilemma, but she is just supervising the access control, and letting her take over for a while will help us share the worries."

Wang Xifeng did not doubt his statement. After all, Lai Shangrong had been working hard recently and came very diligently, and the chance of getting pregnant naturally was greatly increased. "She has always been good at winning people's hearts. Not long ago, the third girl proposed to subcontract the garden to the mother-in-law in the garden. Instead, she was asked to kill and beat her up. She made Ying'er accept Mingyan Niang as her godmother, and Hengwu Yuan and Yihongyuan were the two most profitable places, so I gave them to Mingyan's mother, and asked the contracting woman to take out a few coins and distribute them to the women who didn't have any errands, which made everyone in the house applaud!"

Wang Xifeng said worriedly: "Those women don't even recognize Xiaohong's mother now, they only recognize her. I'm afraid that after giving birth to the child, things will change in this family!"

Before Xue Baochai managed the access control, this errand had always been the responsibility of Lin Zhixiao's family. Mrs. Wang asked Xue Baochai to manage it, which may not have meant weakening Jia's mother's power.

In fact, Xue Baochai no longer has his mind on Rongguo Mansion. However, Aunt Xue has no choice but to say that she has no choice but to use both hands to grasp the situation.

In addition, she also had the idea of ​​​​causing trouble for Tanchun, and she had the operation mentioned by Wang Xifeng.

Lai Shangrong saw Xue Baochai and Tanchun going head-to-head at Jia Mu's birthday banquet, and he thought they were just competing with each other.

I thought to myself, once Xue Baochai is taken down, won't the access control she controls become the same as her control?
Besides, when she enters her home, she can have a natural handover with Wang Xifeng, which is better than leaving it in the hands of Lin Zhixiao's family.

Although Lin Hongyu is already her own, Lin Zhixiao and his wife are still the old people around Jia Mu. In an era when boys were favored over girls, it is really hard to say how important a daughter is.

He patted Xiaohong's shoulder and said comfortingly: "Don't worry! As you climb high, you will surely fall again, and if you do too much, you will make mistakes. You just need to watch carefully and summarize the information to the uncle. When the time is right, the uncle will take it all in one fell swoop. Come on, I promise, neither you nor Xiaohong’s mother will suffer any loss at that time!”

While talking, he was thinking secretly. It had been three or four months since the last banquet held by the Xue family, and they had been silent. Should we create some opportunities for them?

As long as Xue Baochai takes the initiative and goes with the flow, waiting for the raw rice to be cooked, there will be no room for bargaining for her on how to arrange it.

He was thinking about everything. When Xiaohong heard that he was still thinking about helping his mother, she was moved and said in her heart: "Thank you, uncle! My mother's life is just a little more leisurely now, uncle, don't worry about it!"

After a pause, he stopped talking and said, "Slave... Is there something going on with the Second Wife?"

Like Wang Xifeng, she preconceived the idea that Lai Shangrong had already mentioned it to Mrs. Wang.

But she couldn't get a reply for a long time, and now Lai Shangrong was visiting her every now and then. She didn't have the right to say no in front of Lai Shangrong. If it happened like Wang Xifeng did last time, she would be in trouble.

"This……"

It's not that Lai Shangrong forgot about Xiaohong, but because of Mrs. Wang's unkind invitation.

The so-called cannibalism is short-mouthed and short-handed.

At this time, he asked Mrs. Wang for Xiaohong. If she took the opportunity to ask for a high price from him, or even used Xiaohong as a bargaining chip to let herself take care of Yuanchun first, then she would be in a dilemma.

After all, Lai Shangrong didn't know that Mrs. Wang believed in his blessed general's physique.

The matter involves the palace, and the Rong Mansion obviously wants Yuan Chun to go further, and will be as bold as the benefits are.

In Lai Shangrong's view, no matter how much the Rongguo Mansion pays, it is not too much to increase the chances of Yuanchun giving birth to a prince, and they may not be willing to compete with him.

However, he is not without options. If necessary, he can use roundabout tactics and follow Mrs.

However, even if this kind of thing is hidden from Jia She in advance, he will come back to it later, so it has not reached that stage yet.

Xiaohong's character is quite bold. This can be seen from the fact that she dared to tease herself the first time she sent a message for Wang Xifeng. In order to prevent her from making a mistake, she publicized her relationship with her everywhere and took the opportunity to force the palace. She sighed: "The things the old lady and the second wife have asked me to do recently are quite difficult. I'm afraid that if things don't get done, they will use you as a bargaining chip."

Seeing Xiaohong's worried face, she comforted her, "However, the uncle has other arrangements, and the safekeeping is going well, and it won't affect you in any way."

"Hey! You need to hurry up!" Xiaohong said anxiously.
