Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 421 Scare Yourself

Things have priorities. After Lai Shangrong left, Wang Xifeng was not in a hurry to establish his authority.

After all, this matter has been delayed for so many days, and it doesn't matter just a moment.

The reason why she was able to regain control of the Rongguo Mansion was entirely due to her relationship with Lai Shangrong, so Lai Shangrong's matter was the top priority.

Lotus Champs and Xiaocuitang have always been vacant, so it was natural to clean up and make some arrangements before moving in.

Then he went to Lixiangyuan, chatted with Lou about family affairs, and added a few servants to the courtyard.

Then he returned to the courtyard and called the maid Sister Shan. Since Lai Shangrong asked her to pick people from the courtyard, on the one hand, he knew that his people were reliable, and on the other hand, since he had seen more of these people, he would not I bumped into him in Xiaocuitang and got confused.

"Go and clean up quickly. From now on, you will follow Aunt Zhao. I have other arrangements for the maid next to her. You will move to Xiaocuitang with her soon."

Sister Shan was startled at first, but then she understood it and quickly agreed: "Grandma, don't worry, I will definitely do a good job!"

Aunt Zhao had a pampered and arrogant character, and was not liked by Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng's aunt and nephew. Now that Jia Zheng has a family and cannot return, she naturally lost her support.

Since Wang Xifeng replaced the maid next to her and arranged for her to go there, he naturally wanted to give her some color.

Even Wang Xifeng may not be following Mrs. Wang's instructions when she does this.

Thinking of this, he hesitated and said: "It's just... is Xiaocuitang too close to the third girl's Qiu Shuangzhai? If the third girl comes forward, the servant will also..."

When she said this, Wang Xifeng knew that she would be wrong. She thought for a while and said: "Don't be so smart. I told you to be loyal and tight-lipped. If you hear something or see something, don't make a fuss. Those things you shouldn't say." , put it all in my heart!"

After all, Aunt Zhao was Jia Zheng's concubine, and she could only help the thief cover up. She told the maid bluntly that she really couldn't open the door, so she could only make some hints.

I believe that with this kind of advice, Sister Shan will be able to understand the meaning of her words as soon as she sees Lai Shangrong.

Sister Shan was worried. There were so many secrets in this mansion. There was something in Wang Xifeng's words, and it was obvious that she had some agenda.

I don’t know what I thought of, so I quickly begged for mercy: “Grandma, don’t worry, I don’t dare to say a word that I shouldn’t say!”

Seeing that she had frightened Sister Shan, Wang Xifeng ordered: "Pack up your things when you get back! You can follow me to the east courtyard first."

They also ordered two wives in the courtyard, and the group came to the east courtyard. When they saw Aunt Zhao, Wang Xifeng ordered: "It is unlikely that the master will come back now. Although the wife is kind-hearted, she did not ask you to serve her." , but this backyard is not as clean as the garden after all, please clean up quickly and move to Xiaocuitang now to be the companion of Third Sister."

Then, he pointed at Sister Shan and others and said, "Don't take the people in this yard with you either. I have other plans. Let them follow you from now on!"

Afraid of Lai Shangrongxing's arrival, he rushed to Xiaocuitang in the evening and failed.

Therefore, Wang Xifeng did not dare to delay for a moment.

This sudden and abrupt talk caught Aunt Zhao off guard and made her even more panicked.

He wanted to seek help from Lai Shangrong, but water from far away could not quench his thirst nearby.

In addition, Wang Xifeng was surrounded by people, and there was no one who could tell the news, so he could only worry.

Afraid that Wang Xifeng might have some dirty tricks waiting for her, she didn't even have time to pack her underwear when she arrived at Xiaocuitang, so she went into Qiu Shuangzhai and asked Tanchun for help.

"It's a disaster! It's a disaster! Send someone to Lai's house to wait for the uncle and tell him that the aunt and nephew are going to attack me!"

Now that Jia Zheng has a family and cannot return, there is no longer any competition for favor. Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng suddenly attack her. She preconceptionally thought that the poisoning incident had been exposed.

Qiushuangzhai and Xiaocuitang are adjacent to each other, and Tanchun had long known that the yard was being tidied up for Aunt Zhao to move in.

The lotus root Champs was also packed together, but she didn't think about it.Now that I heard that Aunt Zhao was in despair, my heart started to pick up.

"How...how did you know that I was targeting you?"

"None of the servants in my house were allowed to take care of them. They were all arranged. How can this be false? It was probably the shameless one who knew that he was about to die soon and told Mrs. Wang that he wanted to get rid of me first! "

Tanchun secretly thought, what are you afraid of?

If Mrs. Wang knew that Aunt Zhao was the one who poisoned herself and Jia Baoyu, she would be in a terrible situation.

While thinking about how to break the situation, he comforted: "Auntie, don't worry!"

"Can I not be in a hurry? You don't know that they won't let me delay for a moment today. They insist on asking me to move here today. I'm afraid they will take action in an hour or three!"

Hearing that the situation was so urgent, Tanchun couldn't help but frown, thought for a while and said, "The only way for now is to clarify the matter, and then there is a chance to turn things around!"

With that said, without waiting for Aunt Zhao to speak, she opened the door and told the servant outside the room: "Go to Lai's house and tell Auntie to invite Uncle Lai to Xiaocuitang in the evening!"

Hearing Tanchun, who has always been prudent, say such words, Shi Shu couldn't help being stunned.

He hesitated and said: "Gu... girl! I'm afraid it's so late at night..."

Tanchun said without any doubt: "Go if you are told! How come there are so many words!"

She has always been very opinionated. Seeing her being so decisive, the servant did not dare to say anything, so he had to go to Lai's house to send a message.

Aunt Zhao in the room couldn't hold herself back when she heard her order.

"You...you are a heartless person. You think I didn't die quickly enough. Even if you go to Lai's house to ask for help, you have to ask your brother to deliver the message. Why do you call a maid? Aren't you afraid that she will turn around and complain?"

"I just want them to know!"

Tanchun said confidently: "For the current plan, only Brother Lai can save my aunt!
The aunt thought about it carefully. When nothing happened to the master, the wife was in awe of Brother Lai. Now that something like that has happened, even the queen in the palace will be implicated. Everyone in the palace and family will point to him for help. Even the second sister-in-law's business relies entirely on the help of her eldest brother. If she knew about the relationship between her aunt and him, could she still have no scruples? "

Aunt Zhao said with some doubts: "But there's no need to go to this step, right? Isn't it the same to ask the uncle to help me plead for mercy? What if... isn't this giving them a knife?"

Tanchun sneered and said: "Huh! My aunt is still hesitant at this time, and she is careful to make a mistake! Don't think about it. Baoyu is the most important thing in the wife's heart. If you poison her, she may still tolerate it, but you can't take Baoyu with you. , if she doesn’t have enough chips, do you still expect her to give up?

After all, Brother Lai has an official position and has to worry about his reputation. Even if he can be persuaded to plead with his wife, it is impossible to tell the truth. How useful it will be then, I might as well think about it again! "

Tanchun also had his own small thoughts. If Lai Shangrong was asked to plead for mercy, of course he would not tell the truth and give others an excuse. Even if Mrs. Wang tolerated this and did not deal with Aunt Zhao, she could not guarantee that she would not be angry with herself.

Now, only through Lai Shangrong's love for Aunt Zhao can she force Mrs. Wang to have concerns about herself.

However, after such a commotion, it would be nice if Mrs. Wang didn't embarrass herself. Don't expect to find a good way out for herself.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think of Aunt Zhao's proposal.

After listening to Tanchun's analysis, Aunt Zhao also believed it, but then she became concerned and said randomly: "But...but if Madam insists on having her own way, she must take revenge..."

Before Aunt Zhao could finish her words, Tanchun looked at her deeply and said meaningfully: "Then it depends on how much weight Aunt Zhao has in Brother Lai's heart!"
