Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 365
"It's getting late!"

While arranging his clothes, Lai Shangrong said incredulously: "Do you want me to ask my servants to prepare dinner? After dinner..."

"This..." Mrs. Wang looked embarrassed and angry, but she hesitated to speak.

"Hmph!" Mrs. Who should I show the appearance of a person?"

"how do I……"

Mrs. Wang was full of grievances. She thought she could take the opportunity to tear through Aunt Xue's disguise, but unexpectedly she trapped herself in a cocoon and allowed Mrs. Xing to spy on her whereabouts.

Mrs.

Mrs.

Yuanchun's incident did give her an opportunity, and Mrs. Wang, who had her thoughts exposed, completely let go and lost face.

"I...what am I pretending to be? I'm just afraid of being unpopular...I don't know what to do and what I say, don't cause any trouble!"

She originally wanted to say that she was afraid that Mrs.

But Mrs. You come and go often in my name, so you can enjoy it secretly!"

During this period, in addition to the real nourishment, Mrs. Wang also heard some hidden secrets from Mrs. Xing.

Knowing that Lai Shangrong had been diligently engaged in government affairs in the evenings recently, Mrs.

Since Aunt Xue is not monopolizing it and the previous worries no longer exist, why do we need to borrow her name?

However, she still had concerns about Mrs. Xing and was afraid of being exposed in front of her, so she could only acquiesce to her statement.

Lai Shangrong has been watching with cold eyes.

To him, it doesn't matter who has the upper hand in Rongfu's first house and second house, exposing Mrs. Wang to Mrs. Xing will allow them to coerce each other.

Secrets will only be scrupulous when they are still secrets. Once things are exposed, it will only be a dead end or a broken jar.

"Okay! You are sisters-in-law, and now you are like sisters. Don't tell anyone about this!"

He mainly said this to Mrs. Xing. After all, she had Jia She's approval and felt confident in gossiping in front of Jia She.

So he looked at Mrs. Here’s the benefit of getting another one tael of silver from me!”

"How...how could it be possible?" Mrs. Xing shrank her head and said.

Just looking at Mrs. Xing's expression, Lai Shangrong guessed that even if she had not made up her mind, she must have thought about this possibility in her heart.

He said in a deep voice: "The 5000 taels of silver last time can be regarded as a lesson. Even if there is any benefit, you have to think about whether it can fall into your hands."

"Ouch! Don't worry, uncle, don't say that the old immortal won't think of me because of his benefits. Even if he is willing to share my share, don't I know which end will last longer? I am your wife now, who is my heart towards? Do you still need your order?"

Mrs. Wang looked at Mrs. Xing who claimed to be a foreigner in astonishment, but she felt a little proud in her heart.

After all, Lai Shangrong was thinking about herself. What she feared most was that Mrs. Xing would use this to blackmail her.

However, from what he meant, it seemed that Lai Shangrong had really given Dafang a lot of benefits.

Thinking of this, he tentatively said: "Shang Rong! Now the mansion is gradually unable to make ends meet. Do you think you can also help buy some profitable properties?"

"As coy as you are, if you want to help, help me first..."

Lai Shangrong touched his nose and thought to himself, Mrs. Wang may not be compared with you in private.

He said: "Don't worry, I will arrange it for you. But, now is not the time!"

"Then when will it be the right time?" This time the two of them asked in unison without arguing.

"I often walk by the river, so there's no way my shoes won't get wet. There's no guarantee that our affairs won't be known in the future..."

Before he could finish speaking, Mrs.

"As long as there is no real evidence, how can she still slander us?"

"She doesn't have to have any real evidence, she just needs to use rumors to avoid suspicion..."

After hearing what he said, Mrs. Wang quickly said: "What does Shang Rong mean?"

She was more worried than Mrs. Xing, and that was Jia Zheng's attitude. When he had arranged the marriage between Lai Shangrong and Xue Baochai, Jia Zheng had been clamoring for her to avoid suspicion.

Not to mention there are real rumors about it.

In the past, it didn't matter if she avoided suspicion, but now that she knows the taste of food and has many benefits, how can she stop thinking about it?
Lai Shangrong smiled slightly and said: "Madam may as well talk to the second wife, why is the master willing to be such a shrinking turtle?"

"What else could it be for? It's just that there's no money!"

"Yes! Although the mansion can't make ends meet now, it still has some foundations, especially the old lady's private house has a lot of money..."

Mrs. ?”

The first room was already hard to sustain, looking up to Lai Shangrong, Mrs. Xing was always envious of the second room's huge family business.

It is the mentality of most people not to suffer from poverty but to suffer from inequality. Hearing that Lai Shangrong intends to make the two sides sit on an equal footing, he naturally agrees with both hands.

Moreover, Lai Shangrong also agreed to help, so he would not question it.

But Mrs. Wang is not a bachelor like her. After all, Mrs. Xing has no children, but she still has a precious son.

It’s okay to be powerless, but you still can’t make up your mind to burn the boat and cut off your own way out.

"This...how did this happen? If you really emptied your family, wouldn't you have to rely on Shang Rong..."

Lai Shangrong said in a deep voice: "What? You still can't trust me? I didn't even frown on such a big thing. I helped you with everything. It's just spending some money to buy some properties. How can I go back on my word?"

He paused and sighed: "That's it! Since you can't trust me, then after today, let's settle it down..."

When he saw that Mrs. Wang would not let go, he began to put pressure on her, but this was just to avoid losing the rice and stealing the chicken, which would be self-defeating.

He specifically pointed out that after today, he planned to charge some more interest once Mrs. Wang insisted not to let go.

But he obviously overestimated Mrs. Wang's determination.

"Don't!" Mrs. Wang turned her heart when she heard Liangqing, and gritted her teeth, "I...how could I not trust Shang Rong! It's just that I can't compare to my sister-in-law, who walks alone. Baoyu, a child, is old I haven't gotten married yet, so I will have to spend money in the future..."

She wanted to get a promise for Jia Baoyu.

Lai Shangrong said, "What's this worth? As far as our relationship is concerned, he can be regarded as half of my son. Of course, I will help arrange marriages in the future!"

His words were not lies to deceive Mrs. Wang. With Jia Baoyu's marriage in his hands, there would be no conflict of interest with him in the future.

As for Jia Baoyu making rude remarks in the future, he will treat it like a child. I believe Mrs. Wang will also make amends for him.

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she no longer had any doubts and said flatteringly: "Then I will have to rely on Shang Rong in this matter from now on!"

"Don't worry! He can find a good marriage, and I, as a half-hearted man, have a bright face!"

After saying that, he hugged the two of them into his arms and said with a smile: "Okay! That's settled then. You guys stay here first and discuss how to act. I'll tell my servants to bring the food here. We'll meet again later. Have a great celebration!”

When Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang heard that he wanted to celebrate in a lively manner, their cheeks suddenly glowed and water dripped from their eyes.

They looked at each other and hurriedly agreed: "Hey! Then Shang Rong, go back quickly, let's wait here!"

Lai Shangrong let go of his hand, pushed the door open and walked out.
