Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 392 Responding to the Situation
The next day, early in the morning.

Perhaps because of increased exercise, Lai Shangrong actually ate five or six sea urchin steamed eggs in a row.

Before leaving, he asked Qingwen to stop by the Jade Emperor Temple when she went to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion and tell Mrs. Wang that she had something to discuss in the evening.

Not to mention how he was gearing up and recharging his energy after returning to the Yamen to check in after his morning court.

But Mrs. Wang, who received the news, immediately became very energetic.

Since she moved into the Jade Emperor Temple, Lai Shangrong was afraid of revealing the secret that he held the key to the Grand View Garden and had never visited the place.

Therefore, she still attaches great importance to her debut in the temple.

Once you pay more attention to it, you will inevitably have to consider all aspects and make some appropriate and safety arrangements.

When the monk's robes, futon and other necessary things were ready, he couldn't help but think about Lai Shangrong's access.

The Grand View Garden is no better than the back house. With Ping'er as a cover, Lai Shangrong can go in and out without hindrance. After all, the garden is the residence of girls. The incident of Jia Mu's gambling scandal has passed not long ago. Even if the gatekeeper still dares to be lazy, at least she will close the door tightly. .

When you come in, you can use the pretense of discussing important matters, but it's a rare visit, so it won't end hastily. Besides, Lai Shangrong is not someone who rushes into things, but this will inevitably delay some time.

If I were to ask people to open the door in a big way, I'm afraid it would arouse suspicion.

Although she had Jia Mu's endorsement, she never thought about spreading it everywhere at that time. It was limited to personal maids and they were accustomed to confidential conversations.

Besides, no maid knew about sneaking away to the back building for a private meeting at night. And in broad daylight, who would have thought that such a thing could really happen in broad daylight?
Now that Lai Shangrong came to the house late at night and lingered for a long time, those "uninformed" gatekeepers didn't know what gossip they were about to spread.

Thinking of this, he suddenly came up with a plan. As the saying goes, one person is private and the other is public. If Mrs. Xing is called, who would dare to suspect that he and Lai Shangrong are not clear?
After all, this kind of thing is extremely secretive, and the first and second wives have always been at odds with each other. Who would have thought that he and Mrs. Xing could have the same hatred and hatred and deal with Lai Shangrong side by side?
She is now hiding from the world to pray for blessings. Jia Mu saves her the time to prepare for the morning and dusk. She estimates the time and goes to inform Mrs. Xing before Caixia.

When Caixia went to deliver the news, Wang Xifeng also finished his morning and dusk inspection and followed Li Wan to Daoxiang Village.

The two sisters came into the house and sat down on both sides of the Kang table.

Wang Xifeng was doubtful and said: "How do you think Shang Rong can predict? What if I pass by tonight and fail to catch my wife's omissions and startle the snake instead, what should I do?"

She couldn't figure out why Lai Shangrong could predict the situation and knew that after tonight, he would be able to catch Mrs. Wang's omissions.

"Shang...Shang Rong has a plan, so he shouldn't make a mistake, right?"

Although he had confidence in Lai Shangrong, it was inevitable that concern would lead to chaos. He suggested: "How about we send someone to watch outside the Jade Emperor Temple to see if there is anything strange?"

"There's nothing wrong with being careful. Sister-in-law, this is a good idea. Let's send someone to keep an eye on it first, and then proceed with caution at night."

Of course, this kind of thing can't be made public. Fortunately, the two of them also have three hardcore maids.

So Hu Ping'er, Xiao Hong and Su Yun, changing shifts, wandered around the Jade Emperor Temple.

However, after staring at it for most of the day, the Jade Emperor Temple was silent, with no one coming in or out.

Just as the two were about to take a two-pronged approach and ask Ping'er to go to Lai's house to confirm again, they heard Suyun running in.

"Grandma, Second Grandma, the eldest lady has gone in!"

Mrs. Xing, who received the news in the morning, immediately understood it.

Although the relationship between the two has greatly improved, it is far from a heart-to-heart relationship. They even competed with each other when facing Lai Shangrong. Mrs. Wang invited her to come over in the evening. Of course, it could not be a casual chat, and it could only be Lai Shangrong's arrival. visit.

So, Mrs. Xing took a bath, changed clothes, and tidied up until evening, had breakfast and dinner, and then rushed to the Jade Emperor Temple.

Upon hearing the news, Wang Xifeng and Li Wan looked at each other in shock.They all said in unison: "Is it possible...the eldest wife and the second wife..."

The more I thought about it, the more I realized it was true. It had been two years since Jia Zheng left Beijing, and although Jia She was at home, he kept getting married, so how could he put any effort into Mrs. Xing?

"It's strange that the eldest wife and the second wife haven't had any quarrels for a long time recently. It turns out that the crux of the matter lies here!"

"Grandma! It's already dark, do you still want to watch?"

"Don't! Don't go!"

If we talk about the past, they were afraid that they would attack rashly and alert the enemy.

So at this moment, I was afraid that Ping'er and others would be wandering outside and disturb the two ladies.

"The eldest lady has already arrived, why Shang Rong asked us to go again at the second watch?"

"How do I know this? But since he said so, there must be a reason. Let's just wait!"

At this moment, they no longer dared to question Lai Shangrong's authority and could only wait with peace of mind.

Lai Shangrong, whose authority was unquestionable, had just returned home from office, changed his clothes, had dinner, and took a nap for two-quarters of an hour.

About Xu Zheng, he left home and came to the back gate of Grand View Garden.

"Uncle Lai, what is this?" the woman guarding the door asked doubtfully.

Lai Shangrong waved his hand: "Zhang Ping'er has something to do. Let's take a walk in the garden to refresh ourselves."

Since Ping'er was used as a cover, he had not opened the front and back doors for a long time, but it was still easy to use.

However, he didn't know that on the day of the wedding, although Baochai got what he wanted, he kept the order to report at the door.

Therefore, when Lai Shangrong left, the woman guarding the door also rushed straight to Hengwu Garden.

Not to mention Xue Baochai's reaction after learning the news, Lai Shangrong walked in the dark under the moonlight and arrived at the Jade Emperor Temple.

It was pitch black all around, except for the main hall with its open door, which was brightly lit. However, only the door gave out light, and the surrounding windows were covered with black curtains.

Lai Shangrong admired in his heart that Mrs. Wang was thoughtful.

Stepping into the main hall, I saw two figures, fat and thin, wearing close-fitting monk robes, sitting on the futon on the floor.

Why is Mrs. Xing here?

Although his back was turned, Lai Shangrong was familiar with the two figures, so it was impossible for him to recognize the wrong person.

He only focused on telling Li Wan and Wang Xifeng not to bring anyone with them, but ignored Mrs. Wang's search for a partner.

Originally, Li Wan and Mrs. Wang were already quite difficult to deal with. Wang Xifeng, who fought against the five scumbags many times, was not difficult to deal with. However, if there were more Mrs. Xing, they would be exhausted.

However, surprises come from different families. Even though she was surprised, Mrs. Wang’s preparation...

Is this going to be a scenario play?Is it Guanyin... or... Arhat?
Thinking of this, he couldn't hold back any longer, closed the door, and quietly attacked the two people who were sitting on the ground.
