Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 219
During the banquet in the front yard, the Grand View Garden and Yihong Courtyard were filled with laughter and joy.

Although Jia Baoyu has not recovered from the beating, recently the sisters have gathered around him to inquire about his welfare, and he feels that it is a blessing in disguise.

The only regret was that Lin Daiyu, unlike Baochai and others, would visit privately, and only came twice with a group of sisters.

But even so, he was overjoyed.

In addition to the big mountain above his head - Jia Zheng is about to leave for a long distance, which will last for at least three years. Thinking of the sky high and the emperor far away in the future, not only does he not have the slightest feeling of parting, but if the injury on his buttocks had not healed, he would probably have to leave. He jumped three feet high.

Of course, he was not the only one who was happy, Xi Ren was also happy.

Baoyu was beaten, and Mrs. Wang sent someone to question her, so she volunteered to go.

When he saw Mrs. Wang, he expressed his loyalty and said something to persuade Baoyu to study, but it was inconvenient for the sisters to live in the garden when they were older.

Encouraging students to learn was better, but as the sisters grew older, it just hit Mrs. Wang's heart. Mrs. Wang was so moved that she immediately gave her monthly money.

Although she didn't expressly give her the title of aunt, she already enjoyed the treatment of aunt, which made Xiren, who was aiming for this, feel grateful and overjoyed.

After eating here, we rested for a while. Someone from the front came to tell us that the master had packed his bags and was about to set off.

Although Baoyu can still walk independently, her father is about to travel far away, so she has to be carried to deliver her, let alone help her to get to the ground.

Normally, she would do this kind of work, but now that she is an aunt-to-be, she naturally has to behave like an aunt.

He directed She Yue and Qiu Wen to step forward to help him, while he followed closely behind him.

She was carefully supported by She Yue and Qiu Wen all the way to the front yard.

Although Baoyu's buttocks were a little painful due to the pulling, she couldn't hold back her tears.

After wailing at the top of his lungs for a few times, he realized that Jia Zheng was not looking at him, so he finally stopped wailing.

Feeling relieved, he started to look around, but he caught a glimpse of Lai Shangrong, standing next to Sister Lin whom he missed so much. The two were talking and laughing, and they suddenly had a bad premonition, as if they had lost their souls, and were heartbroken.

In an instant, tears and runny nose could not stop flowing down my face.

When Jia's mother saw this, she thought he was thinking about Jia Zheng. She urged Jia Zheng, who was bowing to her, "That's all! Let's go quickly! Look at what I did to Baoyu, you still have the shame." Such heavy hands!”

When Jia Baoyu saw Jia Zheng's eyes sweeping over him, he felt weak in his heart, and immediately stopped feeling sad.

Fortunately, the marks on his face were still there, and Jia Zheng couldn't bear to say any harsh words when he saw it.

With a group of followers, go with the team.

As soon as Jia Zheng left, everyone dispersed. Lai Shangrong and Xing Xiuyan accompanied Lin Daiyu to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, intending to go home with Qingwen and Xiangling.

Jia Baoyu also walked back with the support of She Yue and Qiu Wen.

After passing the gate of the Grand View Garden, I turned around and saw that Lai Shangrong followed Lin Daiyu and turned towards the direction of Xiaoxiang Pavilion. I couldn't hold it back any longer.

He ordered the attacker behind him: "You turn around and keep an eye on Brother Lai to see when he will leave the garden."

The attacker turned around and glanced at the direction Lai Shangrong was going, complaining: "My Lord, please just calm down! Why are you staring at him? If..."

After saying this, Baoyu saw Baoyu throw away She Yue and Qiu Wen, and reached out to grab the lifeblood on his chest. Fearing that he was suffering from hysteria again, he quickly changed his words and said, "Why don't I go!"

Just as he turned around, he heard Baoyu's voice coming from behind: "If you don't come out within two seconds...you will go in and ask me to invite him."

"Alas!" The attacker stomped his feet, agreed, turned around and chased Lai Shangrong.

Chasing all the way to the entrance of Xiaoxiang Hall, they saw Daiyu and others entering the courtyard, but Lai Shangrong stopped and walked towards his hiding place.After all, she is not a professional in stalking, and Lai Shangrong is used to stealing fragrances and jade. He has long developed the habit of watching and listening in all directions. Especially in the garden, he is extremely vigilant. He has long discovered the man who fell behind him. Tail.

At first he didn't see it clearly, but he vaguely caught a glimpse of the unusual maid serving him, so he just thought it was Jia Zheng who had just left and Aunt Zhao couldn't hold it back.

So he didn't follow Daiyu, Xing Xiuyan and others into the house, but when he came to the rock where he was hiding, he discovered that it was the attacker.

Thinking it was because Ming Yan had tipped off the news, he sneered and said, "What? Miss Xiren knows about the red sweat scarf, and is she here to beg for mercy?"

"What?! What a red sweat scarf!" When Xiren heard Lai Shangrong say the red sweat scarf, he felt like thunder struck his head, and his face turned pale in an instant.

Lai Shangrong saw the sudden change in her expression and knew that he had guessed wrong.

He said calmly: "Tell me! Why are you following me?"

Xiren was already confused by the red sweat scarf and said incoherently: "No...it's none of my business, it's the second...second master's order..."

She was already in a panic, and she didn't know whether to distinguish the red sweat scarf or the following, but Lai Shangrong understood that the first sentence she meant was the red sweat scarf, and the second sentence meant tracking.

He smiled and said, "Oh? So it wasn't you who asked Ming Yan to go to Prince Zhongshun's Mansion to find Jiang Yuhan?"

He heard that even Mingyan and Prince Zhongshun knew that the attack was like being struck by thunder, and his legs and feet suddenly felt weak, but luckily he held on to the rocks in time.

Suppressing the horror in his heart, he said in a trembling voice: "Uncle...how do you know?"

Lai Shangrong secretly thought that to be able to stand out among the maids of the Jia family, none of them could save fuel. Instead of begging for mercy immediately, she asked how she knew. Naturally, she wanted to see if there was any room for maneuver.

Then he smiled and said: "I met the prince a few days ago and mentioned it. Unexpectedly, it was leaked by the family. Mingyan was interrogated privately just now, and he made it clear."

The attacker grasped the key word "private" and thought that Lai Shangrong knew the inside story but did not make it public. Suddenly a stone fell to the ground.

He begged, "Sir, spare your life! Since I have already asked you clearly, you should know that this slave has no intention. As long as I spare you, I will make a cow, a horse, and a ring of grass to repay you in the next life!"

Lai Shangrong looked Xi Ren up and down and said, "We don't have to wait for the next life. We just have to see if Miss Xi is informed."

His eyes were wild, his purpose was clear, and he was so knowledgeable and knowledgeable that Xi Ren couldn't figure out what he meant.

Suddenly, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and hurriedly said: "You servant, Pu Liuzhi, please let me go. I will definitely repay you for your great kindness!"

Lai Shangrong caught a glimpse of Xing Xiuyan's figure appearing at the courtyard gate and didn't want to get entangled.

"Uncle, I'll give you a few days, go back and think it over carefully first!"

When the attacker heard that he would not expose it for the time being, and was afraid of being seen, he quickly agreed and turned around to leave.

As soon as I turned around, I heard Lai Shangrong behind me, saying sadly: "I heard that Miss Xi has just received her aunt's monthly salary. I wonder if you still want to be this aunt."

This sentence undoubtedly hit Xiren's weak point, and her steps suddenly stagnated. She had always regarded her aunt as her goal, and seeing that it was a done deal, nothing could go wrong.

Baoyu was easy to fool, but Mrs. Wang couldn't let her go as the culprit, let alone keep her position as aunt.

Afraid that Lai Shangrong would suddenly change his mind, he gritted his teeth and turned around and said, "As long as I let you go, I will let you do whatever you want!"

"Go! The uncle will find you!"

After hearing this, I finally felt at ease. Seeing Xing Xiuyan and others getting closer and closer, I was afraid of being caught, so I hurriedly quickened my pace.
