Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 89 Li Wan’s decision
Li Wan returned to the house and sat alone on the bedside.

Although it was a good idea to let Jia Lan become his apprentice, how to impress Lai Shangrong was the key, after all, he had already rejected it once.

Yaoquan himself had no power and power in the Jia family. Even if he promised to transfer the official resources of the Jia family, he would not believe it.

Not to mention wealth, he is now in charge of the construction of other courtyards, and even if he slips through his fingers, it is more than he has saved over the years.

After thinking about it, Li Wan suddenly realized that as the grandma of Rong Mansion, there was nothing she could do against Lai Shangrong.

But the more this happened, the more she hoped that Jia Lan could succeed in the imperial examination and stand out.

I can just bear these hardships. Will my son be as submissive and cold-eyed by others in the future?

Since power and wealth cannot move him, then there is only...

If Qin Ye can let his son become a master smoothly, he may not have the chance to do it.

Although there is no way to help him find a concubine, Lai Shangrong can even ask for a mandarin duck, and he can't wait for the mandarin duck to come to the house to achieve good things. It can be seen that Lai Shangrong is impatient.

Or maybe you are gifted...

Yes, ever since he caught a glimpse of the dirty object, Lai Shangrong had left a mark of genius in Li Wan's heart.

Thinking of this, she suddenly stood up from the bed as if she had been burned.

"Grandma! What's wrong with grandma?"

Seeing that she seemed possessed by a demon, Su Yun thought she was suffering from hysteria due to excessive worry, and couldn't help but express concern.

Li Wan only felt his cheeks burning hot at this moment. He didn't dare to let Su Yun peek, so he hurriedly walked out, saying as he walked: "Go and get ready, I want to take a bath!"

Take a shower at this time?
Su Yun was surprised and just about to ask, she heard Li Wan command in a muffled voice: "The water should be colder!"

Immediately, she rushed out sullenly, so Suyun had no choice but to suppress her curiosity, and prepared a bathtub and other necessary things according to her instructions.

After all the items were prepared and before going out to report, Li Wan had already arrived at the bathroom, quickly took off his restraints, and immersed himself in the tub.

Li Wan immersed his whole body in the slightly cold bathtub, and the emotions that were almost exploding in his heart were slightly relieved. He repeatedly poured water on his face, forcing himself to calm down again.

As soon as she soothed her inner emotions, Suyun, who didn't know what was going on, started wiping away with soap.

Li Wan, who was still in a state of embarrassment, was about to explode in an instant.

At this moment, Suyun said worriedly: "Grandma! Are you worried about my brother's studies?"

These words were like a heart-clearing mantra, making her calm down instantly.

Shaking his head to dispel the temptation in his heart, he looked at his reflection in the water, confessed to his late husband, and secretly swore to never imagine such blasphemous things again.

"How do you think we can get Uncle Lai to accept Lan'er as his disciple?"

"Grandma has to think clearly this time, and if she runs away like last time, if Uncle Lai misunderstands, my brother will really have no chance!"

Li Wan secretly dispelled the charm in his heart and said in a trembling voice: "I don't have to! It's just that the method last time was inappropriate. After all, the benefits of the other courtyard are rewarded by the wife. He also knows the situation in the mansion thoroughly, and even if he is trying to show favor, he still thinks of it. Baoyu, how can it be our turn to save face!"

Without waiting for Suyun to answer, he continued to think about himself: "You are getting older now. It's hard to stay with me all the time. Sooner or later, you will be dragged out to match others. I can't bear to see us master and servant fight." From now on, you will be randomly matched with a servant. A few years ago, Uncle Lai said that there was a lack of maids in the family who could take care of things, and he even asked the old lady for a mandarin duck. I thought that since I asked you to take Lan'er as your disciple, I might as well let you go to Lai's house to help you. I came to solve his urgent need. Secondly, he is not married yet and needs a girl to serve him, so that you can have a place to live in the future."

Since she wants to impress Lai Shangrong, she naturally has to do what he likes. Although Su Yun is a little inferior to Yuanyang, she is also pretty and graceful. This is the only thing she can use to make a move. She can't... At this time, she can add one more bargaining chip. Just one more point, so as not to regret it later like last time.

Suyun was pleasantly surprised when she heard that, except for the maidservant assigned to her brother, all the maids in the Jia family had to be assigned to someone else when they reached their age.

As the eldest maid next to Li Wan, Suyun originally had the opportunity to serve Jia Lan, but the age gap between her and Jia Lan was so embarrassing.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to escape the fate of being a servant, but Li Wan's arrangement undoubtedly gave her a chance to make a new choice.

Although she was following Li Wan, the news was not closed. A while ago, Jin Chuan showed off how his younger sister Yu Chuan was favored by the Lai family. The big gold bracelet looked convincing, so it was probably not fabricated out of thin air.

If she could enter the Lai family, even if she was just a maid, she would be a hundred times better than being a servant in the future.

Suyun said gratefully: "Suyun will remember grandma's kindness in her heart. It's just that after the slave left, grandma no longer has a caring person around her!"

Li Wan trembled all over. These caring words suddenly reminded her that the two of them had been doing fake things for a long time. She was a person who had been there and knew that it was most difficult to keep secrets between the bed and the bed. If Su Yun really If they are sent to the Lai family, wouldn't those private parts have nowhere to hide in front of Lai Shangrong?
Thinking of this, the charm in my heart is like a volcano erupting, and I can no longer suppress it.

Su Yunruo felt something and appreciated that Li Wan always thought of herself. Without waiting for his instructions, she piled up her sleeves and left as usual.

…………

This bathing session is over.

Li Wan put on new clothes and walked into the bedroom. Lying on the embroidered bed, Li Wan felt regretful and entangled.

She regretted the vow she had just made, but in an instant she made the same mistake again, and she no longer had the face to confess to her late husband.

And the words to let Su Yun go to Lai's house have been spoken, and it is impossible to take them back. It only depends on Su Yun's performance. If he goes back on his words, I am afraid that the master and servant will also be alienated.

Besides, if she gave up, what leverage would she have to impress Lai Shangrong?Should I just let my son abandon his studies like this?

No!

Since the old lady can use the excuse to keep the mandarin duck for a year and a half, why can't she keep Suyun?As long as she was by his side, would he still dare to talk nonsense?

But he talks empty talk and insists on keeping people by his side. Is Lai Shangrong so easy to fool?

After much deliberation, she could only imitate the mandarin duck and let Suyun lose her virginity to him first.

Suyun didn't know that her act of repaying her kindness would lead to such troubles, so she asked earnestly: "When does grandma plan to talk to Uncle Lai?"

Li Wan sighed: "Oh! How can a widow like me take the initiative to mention this to him?"

Then he took Suyun's hand and said: "You also know that I am in an awkward situation in the house. We are master and servant. I have always treated you like a close sister. Now whether Lan'er can become a disciple depends entirely on you! You also Knowing that he has already asked for the mandarin duck, I'm afraid he may not be willing to ask for it again."

Then he whispered in Suyun's ear.

"Ah!~ If someone discovers this, will this slave be beaten to death?"

"Don't worry, I will write you a letter and state that I have promised you to Uncle Lai. Even if someone finds out, if you take out the letter, you won't be the one in trouble."
