Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 364

Lai Shangrong had doubts, why not Mrs. Wang.

Ever since she came back from the palace that day and had some trouble with Aunt Xue, Mrs. Wang had gone further and further down the road.

She originally thought that Lai Shangrong and Aunt Xue were still before her, but Lai Shangrong didn't come for a month, and she began to suspect that her guess was wrong.

However, he did not question the relationship between the two, but the timing of the hookup, which happened to be before he proposed that Xue Baochai be together.

With this guess, I have a little more understanding about his long absence.

I was originally complacent and felt that my charm was greater than that of my sister, but now I am only filled with self-pity.

If it were others, she might not secretly compete with her, but her younger sister, who was being overpowered by her in every situation, would inevitably feel a little resentful.

I thought that even if Lai Shangrong had new people and forgotten the old ones, at least he would not abandon them.

Unexpectedly, more than a month has passed and I haven't come back.

Today, when I heard that he had been promoted to the position of Minister of Household Affairs, I couldn't hold myself back any longer and hurriedly sent someone to invite him.

Now, with Jia Mu's endorsement in the Rong Mansion, there is no obstacle to meeting alone and having private conversations.

On the contrary, when I went to Lai's house, I couldn't avoid Youshi, and ate behind closed doors again and again, which inevitably aroused suspicion.

I was thinking about how to greet Lai Shangrong when he passed by the house in the evening.

Caixia came in to report: "Madam! Uncle Lai is at home today! He said he would come over after lunch!"

Mrs. Wang was not very happy when she heard that the time had been advanced. On the contrary, she felt more and more that he was tied up by someone at night.

"Come over after lunch?"

Mrs. Wang murmured to herself and quickly ordered: "Hurry up and prepare lunch. I'll eat earlier, so I can have time to eat, so that he won't have time when he comes over!"

Um!She has always had a somewhat light appetite, so if...

After having breakfast and lunch, I didn't dare to go far. I just walked in circles in front of Rongxi Hall. When my legs and feet were sore, I finally arrived at Lai Shangrong.

There was no need to give orders, Caixia and Caiyun cleared the area around Rongxi Hall with ease.

The resentment on Mrs. Wang's face disappeared in a flash, and she stepped forward like a young daughter-in-law and closed the door.

Holding Lai Shangrong's arm in his arms, he led him all the way to the Arhat bed in Rongxi Hall and sat down.

Then she smoothed the back of her long skirt into a ripe peach, and slowly sat down next to Lai Shangrong elegantly and dignifiedly.

"Congratulations on your promotion!"

"There's nothing gratifying. Not only have I added a lot of things, but I have to get up early to go to court!"

Lai Shangrong was sitting upright. After all, he didn't know Mrs. Wang's intention. If one side just got started and the other side urged help, wouldn't it be wrong?
Seeing that he was indifferent, Mrs. Wang said with a pun: "Shang Rong, you are a capable person, so you should work harder!"

Lai Shangrong only thought that this was a prelude to her urging, and hurriedly excused himself: "But those who can do more work, I'd rather be more leisurely!"

Mrs. Wang felt a little sad, and thought to herself, as expected, she still couldn't compare to her sister. Now that she has a sister, she would be afraid that she would eat more and occupy more.

"Last time when I entered the palace, I was specifically told to thank Shang Rong for helping me. I should have invited Shang Rong to come over earlier to express my gratitude in person, but I was afraid that you would be working hard day and night, so I have been delayed until now."

Lai Shangrong couldn't help but was stunned, and asked tentatively: "Is your Majesty okay in the palace?"

"I don't want Shang Rong to arrange it so well, but I just troubled the empress, and we don't know how to thank you!"

The time of the Queen's pregnancy coincided with the time when Uncle Tian Guo asked for the medicinal wine, and then came to ask for it again. Lai Shangrong had already guessed who the medicinal wine was for.

Now that Mrs. Wang has pointed out that the queen takes care of Jia Yuanchun, it is not difficult to guess that the queen reciprocates the favor and just shows her kindness. Isn't taking care of Yuanchun putting the cart before the horse?

He didn't go into details. After all, Rongguo Mansion was the old owner, and the queen's hand might not be able to reach out to the harem. It made sense to take care of Yuanchun.

But after all, this is just my own guess, and it may not be a trap set by Mrs. Wang. "I just said hello. I've been busy lately, so I haven't had time to ask."

When Mrs. Wang heard him shirk his recent busy schedule, she felt relieved and gritted her teeth and said, "If Shang Rong can't stand running around, I don't mind if my sister and I come together..."

When she saw that Lai Shangrong was uncharacteristically polite to her and tried to evade him again and again, she became even more sure of what she was thinking.

Since Aunt Xue has an affair with him, if she wants good fortune, she can only catch Xue Baochai.

However, Aunt Xue was concerned about her relationship with Lai Shangrong, so she couldn't get it for a while, so she thought about the sisters being honest with each other, so she took the opportunity to pierce the window paper.

From now on, as long as Lai Shangrong gets approval, she can always make Aunt Xue give in by doing all the coercion and inducement work.

Of course, it was also because Lai Shangrong turned a deaf ear to him and wanted to give him a free ride.

"Huh?" Lai Shangrong looked in disbelief when he heard this, and blurted out: "Seriously?"

He didn't know that Mrs. Wang's sister and sister were talking about Aunt Xue, but Mrs. Xing.

As sisters-in-law, the two of them communicate with each other, so it is normal to call them sisters and sisters.

Moreover, Mrs. Xing relies on Jia She's approval and doesn't hide her comings and goings very much, so it's not surprising for someone to notice something strange.

At this time, he no longer suspected that Mrs. Wang had set a trap for him. Under normal circumstances, Mrs. Xing might not mind exchanging evidence with Mrs. Wang, but Mrs. Wang would never do it.

As for the queen's actions that caused the Rongguo Mansion to misunderstand, what does it matter?
He was originally afraid that something might happen if he acted rashly, but now that he has food in his mouth, is he still going to miss this opportunity?

"Shang Rong helped so much this time, it's not like that anyway...it doesn't matter, as long as she is willing!"

After a pause, he continued: "Since we are all in the house anyway, why don't you call people over to my place next time?"

It's better to go sooner rather than later. Lai Shangrong immediately stood up and said: "It's better to choose a different day than to hit the sun. It's just that it's inconvenient to be here in broad daylight, so it's better to go to my place. In this case, you come back with me first, and I'll ask someone to pass the message. We're here Doufengxuan will just wait for her."

As soon as Mrs. Wang heard that she sent someone to send a message, she was able to invite the person home. The Dou Fengxuan was obviously the place where the two had a date.

I was secretly glad that if I hadn't taken the initiative to invite Ying, I am afraid that Lai Shangrong was planning to help this time, so he would cut off his relationship with him, otherwise he would ask the queen to take care of him when he was only asked to take care of the respect room.

Obviously, arranging an extra layer is intended to be a reward for breaking up.

I can only say so easily, so how can I go back on my word?

This time, he didn't even take the maid with him. He just told Caixia and the others mysteriously that he would go to Lai's house to see some key things.

Without shaking his shoulders, he followed Lai Shangrong to Lai's house through the back door.

Bringing Mrs. Wang into Doufengxuan, Lai Shangrong rushed to the front yard non-stop, and sent someone to Dongkuayuan to spread the word.

When Mrs.

Mrs. Xing thought about it, and it seemed that only Youshi knew, and she thought that Lai Shangrong was just an excuse to play tricks.

Thinking that Youshi's five-month-old body was able to put down her figure, she couldn't be compared.

He said cheerfully: "She is willing to get down, so there is nothing I can't do away with!"

All the way to Doufengxuan, Lai Shangrong embraced Mrs. Xing and pushed the door open.

"why you!?"

"why you!?"

Mrs.

Mrs. Wang, who suddenly stood up from the couch, lowered her head in shame and rushed to the door.

However, at this time, the door was blocked by Lai Shangrong, and she herself fell into the trap.
