Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 423 Fetters
Anyone who has played games knows that a bond is a bond based on the relationship between characters that inspires their hidden attributes or potential in a certain aspect.

In order to trigger certain hidden attributes, ornaments that activate bonds are often added to the team.

These ornaments may not be very attractive on their own, but they often reap unexpected benefits from other characters.

In Lai Shangrong's view, Mrs. Wang is undoubtedly an excellent candidate for the decoration.

Among the women related to her in the Rong Mansion, the only thing she can compete with is the blessing of her status, and both in terms of age and appearance, she is mediocre.

However, in the Rong Mansion, she has a versatile attribute that no one else can match. She can be more or less involved in everything from sisters-in-law, mothers and daughters, aunts and nephews, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, wives and concubines, and even masters and servants.

Of course, there are still many things to be developed. For now, Lai Shangrong has experienced Mrs.

And today, Aunt Zhao's twelve-point spirit is undoubtedly the one with the greatest blessing and the most powerful among many fetters.

On the way to the Jade Emperor Temple, Aunt Zhao also imagined what Lai Shangrong meant by the reassurance pill.

But at most, it was just a guess to clarify the relationship between the two to Mrs. Wang. I never expected that Mrs. Wang, who usually stayed away from strangers, was dignified and elegant, had already become a private asset of Lai Shangrong.

In fact, his attitude of being humble in front of Lai Shangrong and catering to him was even worse than his usual behavior.

If it were in other aspects, Aunt Zhao might still admit defeat, but when it comes to catering to men, she has always been proud and unwilling to be left behind.

He attributed his shortcomings to the many inconveniences in the past, so he worked hard and secretly competed with Mrs. Wang while making sarcastic remarks.

Compared with Aunt Zhao's ecstasy, Mrs. Wang has gone through a transformation process.

From the very beginning, I would rather die than obey, then I would give in half-heartedly, and finally I would start breaking the rules.

Let Lai Shangrong experience various benefits that he had never experienced before.

The true flavor is not enough for outsiders to understand. After more than half an hour...

Lai Shangrong put the two of them face to face and said in a deep voice to Aunt Zhao: "Since we have been honest with each other, my wife will naturally not embarrass you in the future, and your supply in the garden will not be short. However, if Let me know that you are threatening me with this, but don’t blame me for not remembering the old relationship!"

"Ouch! How could it be! Now that we are sisters, how could I do such a shameless thing!"

Although the two were Jia Zheng's wives and concubines, they were originally sisters, but starting from Lai Shangrong, there was no distinction between wives and concubines, and Aunt Zhao redefined the status of sisters.

Although Mrs. Wang was ashamed to be on an equal footing with Aunt Zhao, she did not dare to refute.

He snorted coldly and said reluctantly: "For the sake of your dedication to Shang Rong, from now on, everyone will stay on the same page!"

"How can it be done?" Aunt Zhao said flatteringly: "In the past, we might have been able to keep the water from the well without disturbing the river, but now we are all tied up together, how can we separate each other? Besides, as long as the uncle likes it, the slave family will all obey it, and they will not be like my sister. So pretentious!"

Mrs. Wang glanced at Lai Shangrong and hesitated: "When Shangrong is here, it's a different matter. I'm talking about weekdays..."

Lai Shangrong pinched the waists of the two at the same time, secretly thought, sure enough, the harmony of Rongguo Mansion has to be maintained by himself.

He smiled and said: "Okay! Now that you have shaken hands and made peace, let's talk about the future arrangements!"

Of course, he arranged this event not just to activate this bond, but also to solve the problem of Tanchun.

"What arrangement?" Mrs. Wang was a little confused.

Aunt Zhao suggested: "Master, do you think this place is not convenient enough? Why don't you ask your sister to go to my place with you?"

Mrs. Wang had not prepared in advance. Although there were several futons, there was no room for a tatami, and the ground was inevitably a little cold. No wonder Aunt Zhao made this suggestion.

Although Wang Xifeng carefully selected the benevolent sister of Xiaocuitang, Mrs. Wang had a special status, so she still tried to minimize the trouble.Lai Shangrong resisted his impulse and scolded: "What? I have arranged it for you, but you have forgotten what you promised me?"

"The uncle is talking about the third girl?" Aunt Zhao knew it right away.

"Third girl?" Mrs. Wang was thoughtful.

Lai Shangrong said straightforwardly: "Aunt Zhao intends to give the third girl to me as my concubine. My wife will not object, right?"

"How...how could it be possible!" Mrs. Wang said hurriedly: "It is her blessing that Shang Rong can like her. How could I object? But the third girl is unwilling, what do you need me to do?"

"Well!" Lai Shangrong nodded and said with approval: "There is nothing else you need to do for the time being. The uncle has his own arrangements. You will send someone to call the servant in a moment and hint that she knows about the incident between the uncle and Aunt Zhao. She gave Aunt Zhao her orders, and if the three girls ask for an audience from now on, just refuse them all."

Although he could forcefully settle matters by relying on his relationship with Mrs. Wang, a character like Tan Chun may not be immune to rebellious psychology.

She was in the inner courtyard of a deep house. Although it was impossible to have any adverse consequences, there was no guarantee that she would not complain to Lin Daiyu and others in private, or even use her affairs with Aunt Zhao as a bargaining chip.

Since Tanchun suspected that Aunt Zhao was poisoned and Mrs. Wang knew about it, he would make the mistake and create this false impression for her.

Compared with her biological mother, Aunt Zhao, Tanchun obviously cares more about Mrs. Wang's attitude towards her. As long as she has a sense of urgency, and Aunt Zhao adds fuel to the fire, and cooperates internally and externally, it will not be difficult to achieve success.

The purpose of giving the service letter to Aunt Zhao was to take it for herself and seal her mouth; secondly, it also put pressure on Tanchun and gave her the illusion that Mrs. Wang was targeting her.

Of course, he will go to Wang Xifeng to make some arrangements later, but that is a story for another day.

Mrs. Wang puzzled: "Marriage has always been an order of the parents. Since Shang Rong likes her, why bother?"

Lai Shangrong shook his head and said: "She knows about Aunt Zhao and I. If she is not willing to do this, it will inevitably lead to complications. If Jia Zheng comes forward, you may not be able to suppress it!"

It was fine that he didn't mention Jia Zheng, but he started to worry again when he mentioned Mrs. Wang.

"The shameless old man has the best face, but I'm afraid he may not be willing to fulfill Shang Rong's wish!"

Lai Shangrong said disapprovingly: "As long as the third girl doesn't object, it's not difficult for him. Isn't he responsible for the current situation? As long as the wife blocks him with this word, what face does he have to object?"

"Hey! Hey! Then just do what Shang Rong said!"

"Then... what about me? Is there anything you want me to do?"

Seeing that Lai Shangrong entrusted Mrs. Wang with important tasks, Aunt Zhao was not willing to be lonely.

Aunt Zhao naturally had arrangements, but she needed to explain in detail how to use the poison. In front of Mrs. Wang, Lai Shangrong was worried that her joy would lead to sorrow, so he revealed the original poisoning.

He scolded: "Okay! What can you do? Come back with me!"

He turned to Mrs. Wang and said, "You don't have to clean up the servants. Just go over and listen to me tonight!"

After that, he took Aunt Zhao and left the Jade Emperor Temple.

Back at Xiaocuitang, Lai Shangrong was afraid that Aunt Zhao would not understand his intentions, so he broke up the plan, crushed it to pieces, and drank it all.

As soon as they left, Mrs. Wang also called Caixia and told her to go to Qiu Shuangzhai to spread the message.

When the servant came to the Jade Emperor Temple, he followed Lai Shangrong's instructions and sent her to Xiaocuitang after giving her some instructions.

Lai Shangrong had no choice but to work up his courage and take the servant's book for his own use.
