Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 436 Double Insurance

The Prince's Mansion in Beijing occupies a huge area and cannot be inspected in a day or two. Lai Shangrong only focuses on the key points. Jin Yiwei will be responsible for the subsequent tedious inventory and search work.

Perhaps in order to make the real culprit relax his vigilance, or based on the principle of preferring to kill by mistake, Emperor Zhenglong still arrested King Beijing and took him to the imperial prison for custody.

Let the capital city, which is already in turmoil, harbor murderous intentions.

Compared to the anxious princes and ministers, the Lai family was exceptionally calm and peaceful.

After all, as the supervisor of the case and having nothing to do with Wang Su of Beijing, there is no need to worry at all.

Along with it, all the female relatives in the Rongguo Mansion next door were also calm and composed.

In fact, if we really talk about it, King Beijing and the Jia family belong to the same lineage as the Four Kings and Eight Dukes. Although their relationship has faded a little over the years, they should not be so indifferent.

And this confidence comes from their close friendship with Lai Shangrong.

In particular, Wang Xifeng received another good news today, which made this confidence even stronger.

"Amitabha! This is such a great joy!"

Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang stood in front of the bed, looking at Wang Xifeng lying on the bed, smiling happily.

After retreating, Mrs. Wang whispered: "How many days has it been? Is it Shangrong's?"

Upon hearing Mrs. Wang's question, Mrs. Xing stared at Wang Xifeng closely, looking a little nervous. She pretended to be listening, waiting for Wang Xifeng to reveal the answer.

"If it's not his, who else can it be?" Wang Xifeng raised her snow-white neck and said with a hint of annoyance: "He is such a domineering person who protects food, but he has been able to tolerate others since he was pulled aboard by you two. ...Lian Er was sent to the south by him, but he just wanted to monopolize it!"

Upon hearing this answer, the two ladies visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, that's good! Yes, that's good!" Mrs. Wang patted her chest, causing ripples in shock, and said with a smile: "Now that we have Shang Rong's seed in our house, this is really a double insurance. No matter how chaotic it is outside, we don’t have to panic!”

"That's right! That old immortal Qian'er almost lost half his life when he heard that King Beijing had been arrested. He cried and shouted for me to go to Shang Rong's place to find out!"

"By the way! How many days have you been pregnant? It's been more than a month since Lian Er left, but can you still get along?"

"Whether we can get along or not, we have to make him recognize it! This kind of thing will never happen sooner or later. As long as we don't talk about it, who will care about it?"

"Yes, yes! Did you go to Lai's house to announce the good news?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a call from outside: "Aunt You and Grandma are here!"

The two of them stood up immediately, and Mrs. Wang warned: "The child in your belly is the top priority of our family now. Don't worry about the chores in the house for now, and take good care of yourself.

Although Shang Rong is a little busy, he can definitely find time to come over and take a look. Don’t be greedy for temporary pleasure..."

That night Lai Shangrong told her to keep a bowl of water level, so she kept suppressing Wang Xifeng and did not deal with Hengwuyuan's mother-in-law.

Now there is a reason to let Xue Baochai take over.

Mrs. Xing also warned: "If Shang Rong has to ask you to serve him, don't take advantage of him. Just use the method the second wife did last time to deal with it first. Although it is a bit smelly, it is also a great tonic..."

Seeing Youshi and Li Wan coming in, Mrs. Xing immediately shut her mouth.

Leave hand in hand with Mrs. Wang.

From beginning to end, neither of them worried about Jia Lian's reaction. Since Wang Xifeng was so calm, it was obvious that Lai Shangrong had already dealt with the aftermath.When You saw Mrs. , want to give this baby bump of yours all to yourself?"

Although she knew about the relationship between the two wives and Lai Shangrong, she didn't know that the four of them had competed on the same stage.

In addition, I only heard a few words, so I thought it was some kind of tonic for pregnancy and health.

"Bah!" Wang Xifeng spat: "What a great supplement, are you eating too little?"

Youshi was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that no wonder Wang Xifeng went to the Jade Emperor Temple in person when he came to see Lai Shangrong that night.

He looked at Wang Xifeng and then at Li Wan, and said with a smile: "So, you all know?"

Seeing that Wang Xifeng and Li Wan acquiesced to their guess, they clapped their hands and said with a smile: "That's good, let me see what else you can make fun of me and Qin!"

Wang Xifeng was so excited that she quickly changed the subject and said, "By the way! Is Shang Rong busy tonight? Do you have time to come over?"

As he spoke, he rubbed his belly with a look of longing.

"Hehe! Even if the uncle doesn't care about the child, and he doesn't want to part with your delicate and expensive second grandmother, he will find time to come over no matter what."

You knew Lai Shangrong's behavior very well, and every time good news came, he would definitely stay with him for a night or two.

Li Wan looked at Wang Xifeng with a look of longing on his face, his expression a little complicated. When Wang Xifeng told him that he wanted to give birth to a baby for Lai Shangrong, she just thought it was a dream.

Unexpectedly, in just over two years, not only did the dream come true, but even Jia Lian rushed to help take the blame.

He couldn't help but think of Wang Xifeng's original proposal, and then suddenly shook his head.

Everything else is fine, but as a widowed person, I don't have the same convenience as Wang Xifeng. If she is really pregnant, how will my son be able to hold his head up in the future?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel sad, and said angrily: "Don't be too happy. You have had a confinement period, so don't forget the doctor's advice. Now that you finally have it, you have to be careful. Don't stay with Shang." Rong is making nonsense!”

Wang Xifeng glanced at Li Wan and said jokingly: "What? Does my sister-in-law know that I am not strong enough and is planning to share the burden for me?"

As he spoke, he put on an embarrassed look and sighed: "I didn't feel it when I didn't know. Now that I know that I have a body, I always feel that my heart is churning. Either sister-in-law, don't go back, and Shang Rong comes over in the evening, just in time Take care of it for me!"

Her accidental collision happened to speak to Li Wan's concerns. Since Lai Shangrong had an illegitimate child in Rong Mansion, he would definitely outshine his cheap son Jia Lan.

There is a gap in blood, and she has to rely on her as a mother to make up for it.

Although Wang Xifeng's suggestion made Li Wan's heart beat, he couldn't admit it and spat: "Bah! A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory! You still have Ping'er and Xiaohong in the house, so there's no need for me to do it for you. Share!”

"Keke!" Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Even if the two of them put together, they can't compare to you, my sister-in-law!"

……

When women make dirty jokes, they are just as generous as men. The three of them are all married women, and they know the basics, so there are fewer taboos.

Wang Xifeng was also in high spirits during happy events. The three sisters-in-law were laughing and chatting happily throughout the afternoon, which was very lively.

It wasn't until it was getting late that Youshi said goodbye and left. After all, Li Wan didn't have the dignity to stay.
