Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 449 Thoughtful
The Shi family and the Xue family were implicated by the Zhen family, so naturally they couldn't hide it from Mrs. Wang.

Hearing from Wang Xifeng that Lai Shangrong had mentioned something about her family in advance, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but secretly feel happy.

It seems that I made the right choice to have the whole family grow close to the big tree called Lai Shangrong.

What's more, compared with the historians who had nothing to do with Lai Shangrong, all the historians had suffered. The only one who might have been spared, Shi Xiangyun, also benefited from Lai Shangrong's protection.

Although the Xue family has his own sister and sisters Baochai and Baoqin, Xue Pan is still not immune, or at least has to suffer some jail time.

But my family managed to survive alone, which shows that there is strength in numbers!

After all, it’s hard to count on one’s fingers the number of relationships that continue to get messed up.

As a result, he became more determined and clung to Lai Shangrong's thigh.

A while ago, Lai Shangrong took Tanchun to the Jade Emperor Temple. In front of Tanchun, he pretended to express his idea of ​​taking a concubine and handed over the tasks of the notice.

She was also worried about facing Jia Zheng and had not taken any action.

Now, for fear of delay, I hope to get things done as soon as possible. It is also a good idea to arrange a small sedan to send Tanchun there as soon as the national mourning is over.

Thinking of this, I couldn't sit still anymore, and immediately rushed to the front yard, got into the carriage, and rushed to Jia Zheng's residence in Huazhi Lane.

I thought that Jia Zheng had been disgraced. According to Lai Shangrong's instructions, he could be easily captured by dealing with it.

Unexpectedly, Jia Zheng insisted that his daughter could not be a concubine for the slave Yangzi no matter what.

It doesn't matter if he comes back disgraced. The key is if Lai Shangrong is offended because of this, what should he do?

Therefore, after leaving Huazhi Lane, before returning home, he came to Lai's house.

By coincidence, she had just gotten out of the car and bumped into Aunt Xue coming in through the corner door.

Aunt Xue greeted bravely: "Why is sister here?"

Mrs. Wang retorted: "Isn't my sister here too?"

"Hey! This is not about Wenlong, come here and ask Shangrong for help!"

The explanation is a cover-up. The two of them bumped into each other at Lai's house. Although they both expressed shock, compared to Mrs. Wang's calmness and calmness, Aunt Xue seemed more embarrassed.

After all, she was worried that her affair with Lai Shangrong would be discovered by Mrs. Wang, but Mrs. Wang mistakenly believed that the two had an affair.

Youshi, who arrived after hearing the news, was also the tallest of two.

Although, from her point of view, the two are in no particular order, but since Aunt Xue came to the door for the first time yesterday, and she went back to Xue's house last time, judging from Aunt Xue's attitude, she obviously didn't want to be exposed.

Secondly, this is no different from Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing, who have never appeared together.

If they were separated from each other, she could naturally place them separately, but now it is a bit tricky to bump into them.

After thinking about it, I decided to leave the problem to my uncle.

Therefore, they were not invited to wait in Doufengxuan, but they were welcomed to the side hall and warm pavilion.

Arriving at the Nuan Pavilion in the side hall, You poured tea and put out snacks.

Because he couldn't figure out whether the two of them knew each other well, he removed the servants and left them to their own devices.

As soon as Youshi left, the scene instantly seemed a little awkward.

Looking at Mrs. Wang who was concentrating with her eyes closed, Aunt Xue said with a guilty conscience: "Why is sister here?"

She was afraid that Lai Shangrong would come back and reveal his secret in front of Mrs. Wang. If it was just about her reputation, she wouldn't care about it for her son.

But Mrs. Wang is still Xue Baochai's future mother-in-law. If she knows about her scandal, it will definitely affect her view of her daughter.

Therefore, she tried to test Mrs. Wang's intentions. Once Mrs. Wang showed a troubled look, she could use the donkey under the slope as an excuse to retreat and hide in Doufengxuan to wait for Mrs. Wang to leave.

Mrs. Wang did not answer the question, but said with a pun: "Wenlong is really ignorant. For his sake, my sister must have worked hard in front of Shangrong, right?" Seeing Aunt Xue fidgeting and making probing words, she immediately noticed , the other party knew nothing about his relationship with Lai Shangrong.

Jia Zheng's verbal rejection of Lai Shangrong's acceptance of Tanchun as his concubine will inevitably arouse Lai Shangrong's dissatisfaction.

She was worried that her own strength was limited and she had nowhere to look for help, but Aunt Xue came to her door.

Because when competing on the same stage, Lai Shangrong often arranged for Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, Baochai and others to shout, "Mother-in-law, save me!"Aunt help me! ...something like that.

There are even some special plots arranged.

Therefore, although she did not know about the bond, she had a deep understanding of some of Lai Shangrong's preferences.

She had always guessed that it was not that Lai Shangrong did not want his sisters to share the stage, but that he did not do the work of communicating with Aunt Xue.

I originally thought that Lai Shangrong didn't mention the Xue family because he lost to his own family because of the head count, but now he wonders if he did it intentionally to achieve some ulterior purpose.

Therefore, I pretended to be confused while pretending to understand, intending to fulfill his wish and make up for his mistakes.

Even if Aunt Xue didn't know Mrs. Wang's metaphor, she couldn't admit that she had worked hard in front of Lai Shangrong.

Otherwise, there would be no reason to come here today.

"Sister is joking! How could sister know Shang Rong's preferences? How can Zhengchou speak to persuade him to rescue Wen Long!"

When Mrs. Wang heard this, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, shooting straight at Aunt Xue.

Secretly thought, could it be that she knew about her relationship with Lai Shangrong, but she also pretended to be confused?
And also thought of something with myself?
After all, this sister of my own is just like me. Her son is her lifeblood, and she saves others by herself. As long as she can save her son, let alone just sisters sharing the stage, she is mother and daughter...

Thinking of this, he said with a smile: "If my sister doesn't understand, then let my sister make up your mind for you!"

Based on the relationship between the Xue family mother and daughter and Lai Shangrong, he would definitely not help. It was just a way to force her to submit.

But Jia Zheng really annoyed Lai Shangrong.

Only by taking the credit for this achievement can we expect Lai Shangrong to calm down.

"This……"

Mrs. Wang took the initiative to help, but Aunt Xue was in trouble.

But then I thought about it, my sister must know some of Lai Shangrong's preferences. It's not strange to give gifts to many people. Even if there are any gifts that suit someone's liking, it's just more money.

However, before she could change her words, Mrs. Wang said: "My sister has always been afraid of the heat. The floor cage in this house is open. It's so warm. Why are you still wrapped up tightly?"

While speaking, he got up and came to Aunt Xue, and unbuttoned the cloak.

She had already caught a glimpse of the exposed corner of the lapel and saw the hesitation on Aunt Xue's face, so she deliberately made the matter clear.

Looking at the light gauze skirt underneath, Mrs. Wang secretly cursed, she was really hiding her ears and stealing the bell, she came to the door dressed like this, and she was still pretending to be in front of her.

Aunt Xue was just about to raise her hands to protect herself, but she felt that she had overreacted and seemed to be covering up.

He had to put down his hand and said angrily: "Sister, I misunderstood! It's not like I was in a hurry to go out and forgot to change my clothes. It's okay to wear too light clothes at home, but this is the Lai family after all, so it's not easy to take off, right? "

Mrs. Wang looked disdainful and said sarcastically: "We are just two sisters now. What else should we avoid? Shang Rong will come later. If you want to wear it, who can stop you?"

Aunt Xue was afraid of arousing her suspicion, so she could only follow the rules and take off her heavy cloak.

Unexpectedly, I had just hung up my clothes and turned back to the kang. Before I could sit down, I saw Lai Shangrong pushing the door open and entering.

Immediately, Mrs. Wang, who had just returned to the harmless state of humans and animals, suddenly stood up from the kang.

She came to her side with a playful face, lifted Aunt Xue's skirt, and said in a tone of voice: "Sister! You don't want Wenlong either, what's wrong with you?"
