Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 393 Caring people

At the same time, Li Wan and Wang Xifeng, who were waiting for the opportunity, also rushed towards the Jade Emperor Temple.

Finally, it was almost the second watch. The two of them did not dare to light a lantern for fear of disturbing the two ladies, so they tiptoed into the Jade Emperor Temple.

Although Lai Shangrong was surprised that Mrs. Xing was present, the two of them were going to Mrs. Xing.

Although it seemed dark inside the Jade Emperor Temple, they were careful and discovered that there was a ray of light coming from the cracks in the main hall door.

He quietly came to the door, and sure enough, a faint sound came from the hall.

The two looked at each other and confirmed their looks.

He straightened up, pushed the door open, stepped forward, and shouted inside: "I have something to decide, my wife!"

After walking in the dark for a long time, they suddenly saw light. For a while, they couldn't see clearly what was going on inside, but the two of them couldn't wait any longer, so they groaned in unison: "Why do you..."

Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, who had suffered a sudden change, were frightened to death.

At this moment, I heard Lai Shangrong's voice.

"Quick! If we let them run away, it will really be a disaster!"

As if something had been triggered, the two of them flew forward, each grabbed their daughter-in-law, and covered their mouths with all their strength.

Li Wan and Wang Xifeng finally adapted to the light in the room. When they saw Lai Shangrong looking at them with a half-smile, they still didn't know why he could predict the future.

He went through the whole show, struggled a few times, and then pretended that his legs gave out and he collapsed on the ground.

Lai Shangrong stepped forward calmly and locked the door with his backhand.

From behind, I heard the anxious urgings of Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing: "Shang Rong... come here and help..."

Lai Shangrong cooperated: "Since the two grandmas broke up, I can only keep you together..."

…………

Not to mention how it ended in the Jade Emperor Temple, it is said that Xue Baochai received the news that Lai Shangrong had entered the temple and did not take it to heart.

But as time passed bit by bit, but there was no news of Lai Shangrong's departure coming from the front garden, I began to feel doubtful.

Since there has been no news from the front garden, it must be that he is stranded in the garden. Although the gatekeeper lady came to tell the time and said that Lai Shangrong planned to stroll around the garden to refresh himself, but after such a long time, just walking around is enough. .

Could it be that he was going to visit Lin Daiyu?
As soon as this idea came up, Xue Baochai rejected it.

If you really want to find Daiyu, you can just do it openly, and there is no need to use Ping'er as a cover. Since it is to cover up, it must be ulterior motives.

Could it be that he came to find himself?
If he had any ulterior connections in this garden, it would have to be himself.

Moreover, they had never found a chance to meet each other since they had said goodbye that day. It was completely reasonable for him to come over late at night to look for a chance encounter.

Thinking of this, he quickly called Ying'er, told her to guard the yard, went out by himself, and left Hengwu Garden.

In the dead of night, she didn't dare to shout loudly, but after walking around Hengwu Garden for several times, she didn't find Lai Shangrong.

After all, a lot of time has passed since Lai Shangrong entered the garden. There is no guarantee that he didn't meet her by chance and returned disappointed.

Although she didn't know that Lai Shangrong was trying to send information, she knew that if he went back through the back door, he would arouse suspicion.

He hurried to the front door and asked under the guise of patrolling before going to bed: "No one comes in and out at night, right?"

Since it is speculated that Lai Shangrong is here to find him, of course he cannot expose the news of his entry into the park.

The woman who was guarding the gate did not doubt that it existed, and complained: "There are not even mosquitoes in this season, but we are trapped here."

"Baoyu's illness hasn't healed yet. If he is frightened again, no one at the old lady can afford it."

After a pause, he added: "But I'm probably going to sleep now. After the third watch, you can just leave the door ajar, and there's no need to stare anymore."

Since Lai Shangrong hasn't left yet, if people know that he stayed in the garden for so long, it will definitely arouse people's suspicion, so when the mothers-in-law complained, she went along with the situation.

After leaving the front door, I looked at the bamboo forest to the west. After a little hesitation, I followed the bamboo forest path and walked into the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

…………

While Xue Baochai was searching for Lai Shangrong's figure.Accompanied by a wheezing sound like a bellows, the main hall of the Jade Emperor Temple returned to calm.

Along with the rustling sound, Lai Shangrong said in a deep voice: "You guys, please comfort them two, and you must not let them tell anyone."

Seeing Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, they agreed dejectedly.

Only then did Lai Shangrong leave the main hall feeling refreshed.

He didn't come out as expected, just because Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang were already uneasy and uneasy about being so disturbed by Wang Xifeng and Li Wan, and they were no longer in the mood to entertain him.

He only focused on helping him, which actually saved him a lot of energy and prevented him from running exhausted and showing signs of decline.

However, after this experience, there will be many opportunities in the future, so he will not feel regretful.

He has done what he can do. Once he expresses his preference in the subsequent bargaining, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang may not be able to spot the clues.

Therefore, it is a wise move to withdraw as soon as possible and leave it to the two of them to deal with the aftermath.

Lai Shangrong had no intention of getting involved in the details of the negotiations. He only knew that the next day, Wang Xifeng took over the affairs of the government again.

This is a later story.

Taking a deep breath of the late night air-conditioning, I stepped out of the Jade Emperor Temple.

Following the bamboo fence path, we passed Qinfang Pavilion and were about to go to the garden gate. Suddenly, a figure flashed out of the bamboo forest on the side.

"Brother Lai! Sure enough, he's still in the garden!"

Lai Shangrong looked at Xue Baochai walking towards him in the moonlight, and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

He could only say affectionately: "Baochai..."

Xue Baochai threw a baby swallow into the forest and threw herself into his arms.

"Brother Lai has been wandering around for a long time. I haven't heard any news about you leaving the garden, so I thought you were looking for me. I just walked around outside Hengwu Garden a few times, but I didn't meet you!"

Looking at the direction Xue Baochai came out, I didn't know where she was. She didn't see him in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion and mistakenly thought he was looking for her.

"Maybe I just missed it!"

He said affectionately: "Since that day when I went back, I have been unable to sleep at night. Today I just wanted to try my luck. I never expected that all the hard work paid off. My infatuation finally moved God!"

Since you are showing your infatuation, of course you can't just talk about it.

Xue Baochai could not withstand his manipulation. After a while, her eyes were full of beauty and she was panting again and again.

"Don't...don't be here..."

It was quiet at night, not far from the main road, and Xue Baochai had just given the gatekeeper a holiday, so he didn't dare to delay here.

He originally thought that Lai Shangrong would take him to the Jade Emperor Temple and ask Mrs. Wang to help cover it up, but unexpectedly, he was half-supported and half-pushed and led to Hongxiang Garden.

Lai Shangrong hadn't thought about going to the Jade Emperor Temple, but Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng and Li Wan were all there. If he took Xue Baochai there, wouldn't it be a mess?

Or go to Liaoting Huashu Insurance.

How did Xue Baochai know that he had such a secret place? She just thought that he wanted to follow her back to Hengwuyuan.

She said shyly: "My sister came out in a hurry, and there was no arrangement in the house..."

Lai Shangrong said with a smile: "In the past few years, I have often gone to the hillside of Liao Ting Hua Shu and looked at my sister's Hengwu Garden. I wanted to relieve the pain of lovesickness, but I discovered a secret place. Unfortunately, I never had the chance. Take your sister there."

While talking, Xue Baochai had been turned behind the rockery.

Xue Baochai regretted hearing this. The rumors spread between herself and Lai Shangrong have been unresolved and the initiator of the rumors has not been found.

Originally, Lai Shangrong had always been his mother's biggest suspicion, but as he proposed to marry Lin Daiyu, this idea gradually faded away.

Thinking about it now, it was probably because of his family's various measures to avoid suspicion and the fact that his brother had no way of finding Feng Ziying that he was frustrated.

Thinking of this, for fear that he would recall the old events, he immediately responded fiercely.
