Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 77 Result of Disposal

The next day!

Honor Hall.

Mother Jia glanced at Qin Keqing and felt that he was very charming and enchanting. Although she had always been a beauty-controller, she could not feel the slightest affection for her at this time.

He frowned and said, "Now that the matter is over, what's the use of talking about this anymore? Brother Zhen is usually good, but he just drank too much yesterday... Let's talk about what to do."

Because Jia Zhen is the patriarch after all, in order to take care of his face, only Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were in the house at this time, and Wang Xifeng was not even allowed in.

Mrs. Wang stared fiercely at Jia Zhen, who was kneeling in the hall, and reprimanded: "You are too... If this matter is spread to the palace, how will the emperor miss our family and miss you?"

In the two mansions of Ning and Rong, one is prosperous, the other is prosperous, and the other is devastated.

If this kind of scandal spreads, others will not just say that the family tradition of Ningguo Mansion has been corrupted and personal ethics have declined.

The entire Jia family will be humiliated, and even Jia Yuanchun in the palace will inevitably be implicated.

But even though Mrs. Wang was filled with hatred, she knew she could only help cover it up. Fortunately, it didn't lead to a big mistake.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at Lai Shangrong, the lucky general who handled it well.

"Shang Rong, tell me!"

Lai Shangrong knew that it was impossible for him to make Jia Zhen throw himself into the trap. Although he used Qin Zhong's identity as master to block Jia Zhen and Jia Rong last night, Qin Keqing could not live in his house forever. If he really wanted to stop Jia Zhen's thoughts, he still had to Find Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang.

Therefore, he went to inform Qin Ye early in the morning, and when he came back, he conveyed Qin Ye's intention to Qin Keqing, and then took her to Rong Mansion.

At this time, when she heard Mrs. Wang's inquiry, she ignored Jia Zhen's resentful look.

"Uncle Zhen is still in charge of the Ning Mansion after all. Which of his servants would dare to disobey him? If anything happens when Mrs. Qin goes back, I'm afraid it will end badly in the future."

Jia Zhen stared at him and shouted: "Can I still live in your house forever? There is no reason for my dignified Duke's mansion to let his daughter-in-law live in a servant's house. It would be nice to spread it out? The eldest sister in the palace is Are you okay?"

"Shut up!" Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang shouted.

Turning to Lai Shangrong, he asked, "What did the Qin family say?"

Lai Shangrong ignored Jia Zhen and only said to Mrs. Jia Mu Wang: "I also went to Qin's house in the morning and told Mr. Qin that he meant to let Brother Rong and the Qin family simply reconcile!"

Jia Zhen immediately shouted: "What a wonderful idea! How can my Jia family talk to Li Yi!"

Then he kowtowed to Mother Jia and said: "Old ancestors, think twice! If my Jia family's daughter-in-law is let out, and someone takes over her house in the future, how can my Jia family's face be saved? How can the empress in the palace save her face! Just display it at home. Even if you offer it, you must not let it go!"

Being called out by Jia Zhen, Lai Shangrong was embarrassed. In the morning, he told Qin Ye what had happened. Since Qin Ye had not asked for leave and had to go to the Yamen, he entrusted him to negotiate with the Jia family. He didn't know what his plan was, but he actually offered to let him go. Lai Shangrong couldn't help but be overjoyed that Jia Rong and Qin Keqing reconciled.

But then Qin Ye told him that if the Jia family wanted to divorce his wife, they would not agree, because the outside world would only think that Qin Keqing had committed seven crimes, which would inevitably affect Qin Zhong's future marriage.

Unexpectedly, Jia Zhen didn't even ask Jia Rong to divorce his wife, but flatly refused on the grounds that Qin Keqing would be repossessed in the future.

Of course, Jia Zhen may not really care about the face of Jia's family. If Jia Rong and Qin Keqing reconcile, he can justifiably take them in. I'm afraid he will agree faster than anyone else.

Lai Shangrong shook his head depressedly and looked up at Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang.

Sure enough, Jia Mu shook her head and said, "Don't mention this matter again. Our Jia family has never talked about divorce, let alone reconciliation!"

Lai Shangrong saw that he couldn't do anything, his wishful thinking failed, and he could only implement plan B: "Then isolate the Qin family's courtyard from the Ning Mansion, and then replace all the Ning Mansion's servants inside, so as to avoid It happened again.”

"No way! Ancestor! If it were all replaced by outsiders and no one would keep an eye on it, what if there was any scandal in the future!" Of course, Jia Zhen was not worried that Qin Keqing would steal someone, but she was just worried that she would not have the chance to steal.

Lai Shangrong couldn't help but feel angry when he saw his worries being revealed by Jia Zhen one after another.

He hurriedly said to Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang: "Qin told Brother Rong as soon as there were signs of this matter, and he pretended to be deaf and dumb because he was afraid of Jia Zhen, let alone the servants in their house!"

Then he added: "There is no need to change to an outsider. The Qin family already has maids and wives to dowry. We can just transfer a few people from the old lady and the madam."

There is no other way. We must ensure Qin Keqing's future safety and the Jia family can accept it, so we can only settle for the next best thing.

As for how to steal fragrance and jade in the future, we can only take it one step at a time.

Jia Zhen could only stop her activities after hearing this.

Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang nodded and said, "You should think carefully. This is indeed more appropriate!"

Jia Mu turned to Jia Rong and Qin Keqing and said, "Brother Rong, what do you say to Mrs. Qin?"

Jia Rong kowtowed and said, "It's all arranged by our ancestors!"

Qin Keqing said solemnly: "My relationship with Jia Rong is over. Since the old lady doesn't want to let me go back, let me live alone in the future!"

Then Jia Mu sent the maid Gui Gui, Mrs. Wang sent Xiu Luan, and several other little maids and women to replace the original servants of Ning Mansion.

Lai Shangrong had an idea and suggested: "If there are old ladies and people like these around the madam, it can be intimidating. I'm afraid that if someone gets drunk, these people may not be able to stop them. I remember that the second lady is around There is a girl who was born tall and strong. If something happens, she should be able to block her!"

The meal had to be eaten one bite at a time, and it was difficult for Siqi to get it for the time being. If he could take the opportunity to transfer her out of the Yingchun House, it would be much easier to do things in the future without the title of deputy young lady.

Jia Zhen only thought that he deliberately took the opportunity to disgust her, and her teeth were itching with hatred.

Qin Keqing felt that he was thoughtful and took great pains for her, and his gratitude was beyond words.

Because Si Qi was a maid who welcomed the spring, Mrs. Wang could not say much. Fortunately, Jia Mu had no such concerns and made the decision immediately.

Afterwards, they discussed a set of external rhetoric. After all, the personnel changes and the isolation from Ning Mansion would inevitably make people suspicious.

So Lai Shangrong came up with a theory out of thin air: According to a certain leprous monk, due to the construction of the Provincial Family House, the structure of the Ning Mansion changed, causing the fate of the Ning Mansion and the Qin family to conflict, so she needed to be separated from everyone in the Ning Mansion for three years. so...

Set a three-year period first, and wait three years later depending on the situation. In short, it is just an argument to fool outsiders.

Isolating it from the Ning Mansion is easy. You only need to seal Qin Keqing's courtyard gate and open a door on the east wall.

The Jia Mansion is currently building a provincial residence, and the construction materials and craftsmen are readily available.

After Mrs. Jia Muwang gave these arrangements, a few hours later, Qin Keqing was able to go back again, but this time he could not enter through the east and west corner doors of Ning Mansion, but detoured through the side door of East Corridor Alley.

With the maid from Rong Mansion accompanying him, Lai Shangrong had no reason to follow and watched Qin Keqing leave.

After Qin Keqing left, Jia Mu warned: "Shang Rong! Your uncle Zheng is not at home, and the Qin family still wants you to go and make peace. If this matter gets too big, it will be bad for everyone!"

Lai Shangrong nodded in agreement, then said goodbye and left Rongqing Hall.

As soon as he went out, he saw Jin Chuan chasing him out of the hall and said, "Uncle Lai, please wait a moment! My wife has something to ask you!"
