Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 338 Overnight in Rongguo Mansion

Lai Shangrong didn't know that he had missed a good thing, and he came to Wang Xifeng's yard openly.

"Lai...why are you here, Uncle Lai!" Ping'er and Xiaohong from the courtyard came to greet him.

Since I had not been notified in advance and it was still early, there were still a few maids and women cleaning the house.

Lai Shangrong blinked at Ping'er and hugged Ping'er into his arms.

Looking at the horrified crowd, he laughed and said, "Second Brother Lian traded you and Uncle for Chunliu today, and I'm here to take someone in!"

It is not unusual for a large family to exchange concubines and share the same house, and there is no need for Lai Shangrong to cover up for Jia Lian.

This way of displaying the carriages and horses will be conducive to frequent coming and going in the future.

Ping'er was still concerned about it. He didn't want to reveal his long-standing connection in front of everyone. He wanted to break free but was a little reluctant. He could only half-assed and pretended to complain: "This slave is grandma's dowry maid. How can the second master exchange for this slave without going through grandma?" people!"

She didn't know that Lai Shangrong had brought other news. Wang Xifeng had always been jealous, and since she had found out first, it was inevitable that she would have to think more about it. The two had been masters and servants for many years, and their relationship was as close as others. She was taking care of Wang Xifeng.

"Hey hey hey!" Lai Shangrong said with a smile: "Didn't I bring good wine specially and discuss it with my second mistress?"

Wang Xifeng, who was in the house, had already heard the sound. He stood in front of the door, put his hands on his hips, and pretended to be angry: "I want to hear, why did he give Ping'er away! Uncle Lai came to my place to take someone else, could he still want me?" Prepare a new house for you and fulfill your good deeds?"

As he said that, he raised his hand, pointed at the stunned servants in the courtyard, and scolded: "Hurry up and go back to the room and stay there, don't you think the excitement is not enough? Maybe you want to inquire about the privacy of the second master, go out and gossip root?"

When she said this, the maids and women in the courtyard immediately became like birds and beasts.

I was afraid that if I heard something that I shouldn't hear, some gossip would come out in the future, and Wang Xifeng would suspect me.

Only Ping'er, who was half leaning on Lai Shangrong, and Xiao Hong, who was looking at the two of them eagerly, were left.

Lai Shangrong naturally knew what Xiaohong was thinking, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, you are not from this house, so the uncle didn't mention it to him. I will tell the second wife later!"

He paused and then said: "But you don't have to go there for the time being, you are all here to help Feng'er!"

Mrs. Wang herself had asked for everything, and Xiao Hong only had to say a few words.

When Xiaohong heard this, she lowered her head shyly.

"All slaves listen to the master!"

After comforting Xiao Hong, Lai Shangrong hugged Ping'er and came to the door. Then he took the wine pot in his hand, crossed Wang Xifeng's slender waist, and walked towards the inner room with him.

"That shameless person actually had the nerve to trade Ping'er for Chunliu!" Wang Xifeng said slightly sourly.

Lai Shangrong put the wine jar on the Kang table and sat down on the edge of the Kang with the two of them.

He smiled and said: "Hehehe! Not only Ping'er, but also you, the second mistress!"

Then, without hiding anything, he explained the cause and effect of the matter to the two of them.

Wang Xifeng trembled when she heard Jia Lian scolding the two for having hooked up. When things turned around, Lai Shangrong denied the adultery. Although he knew that he was doing it for his own reputation, while feeling grateful, he still worried about gain and loss.

Until he heard that Lai Shangrong was retreating in order to advance, which forced Jia Lian to sign a letter, he could no longer hold back and slumped in his arms along with Ping'er.

It had only been a few months since Lai Shangrong mentioned this matter. I thought I would have to wait at least two or three years, but unexpectedly it happened so soon, which shows that he really cared about it.

What's more, Lai Shangrong was considerate enough to distance himself from them and put all the blame and blame on himself. This was in sharp contrast to Jia Lian's behavior, which made them feel uneasy.

Lai Shangrong rubbed their arms up and down for a while. When their emotions calmed down, he took out the receipt from his arms and handed it to Wang Xifeng. He said: "We haven't eaten yet! You can ask someone to prepare some dinner. Eat. After we have a big fight, we can complete the task assigned by Second Master Lian as soon as possible."

Wang Xifeng agreed and turned around to go out.

When he came to the courtyard, he yelled: "Since he is shameless and gave away Ping'er for a little prostitute, then I will help him and give you this main house tonight, and it will be a good thing!" After finishing, he called to the courtyard: "Come here! Prepare dinner for Uncle Lai, so that we can send them to the bridal chamber as soon as possible!"

When the servants brought the dinner in with low eyebrows, she said angrily: "There is no need to put things away for a while, so as not to disturb Uncle Lai's interest."

He turned to Xiao Hong in the courtyard and said, "Let's go! I won't be in the way here anymore. I'll just go to your room and make do for one night!"

Wang Xifeng and Xiaohong went around the house. When the courtyard was quiet, they quietly slipped back into the room.

If this set of operations were performed by Li Wan, others would inevitably be suspicious, but it was consistent with Wang Xifeng's usual behavior. In addition, Lai Shangrong openly used Jia Lian's banner, so it did not arouse any suspicion.

This time, since the plank road has been built openly, Chen Cang has been kept in the dark, and Jia Lian's written evidence is backed up, they don't even have to let the wind go. The three of them accompanied Lai Shangrong and moved a few more chopsticks.

"This will also damage the reputation of the master. In fact, with this written evidence, it doesn't matter if the master sneaks in, even if he is seen."

Wang Xifeng has completely regarded Lai Shangrong as her man, and even changed his title.

Lai Shangrong took the initiative to take over the responsibility, and came to accept the people in a grand manner. After all, the Rong Mansion was the old owner, and she stayed in the backyard regardless of the old owner's face. She was also afraid that this would affect his reputation.

Ping'er also nodded and said: "Grandma is right, uncle is too considerate of us!"

In this matter, Xiaohong has no say. After all, she is not a member of Jia Lian's room. Even if the affair with Lai Shangrong is discovered, she will at most be criticized for clinging to power.

"Isn't this what it should be? People who come and go frequently will inevitably be seen by others, so you can't let you take risks."

He paused and then smiled: "Now that I have made things clear, even if I overslept, it won't matter if I go out in the morning!"

The reason why he acted like this was also because of Mrs. Wang.

With the current relationship between the two, as long as there is a justifiable reason, she will only turn a blind eye.

Even hoping to get a piece of the action is unknown.

"Uncle, you are worrying too much! Now my wife has given the door control to Bao Yatou. She is a good person. She doesn't speak up when she doesn't mind her own business. Those people below are becoming more and more shabby. They drink and gamble at night, and there is no one guarding the door. "

"Oh? And this?"

Lai Shangrong couldn't help but wonder, isn't it because Baochai is quite organized, why can't he even control a door?

"Isn't that right! I also want to ask my eldest sister-in-law to go to my wife's house to file a complaint against her, but my eldest sister-in-law is afraid of offending the Xue family. Or should Shang Rong talk to her?"

Some things are engraved in the bones. Even though his heart belongs to Lai Shangrong, Wang Xifeng's obsession with power has not diminished at all. Instead, he wants to use his influence to grasp all the affairs of the Rong Mansion.

She encouraged Li Wan to file a complaint with her more than once, but Li Wan was worried and kept pushing the blame.

She complained by herself and the traces were too heavy, so she wanted Lai Shangrong to help persuade Li Wan.

Belittling Xue Baochai in front of Mrs. Wang is also beneficial to his own plot against her. Lai Shangrong said, "You don't need to come forward. I will see the second wife another day and just mention it to her!"

One day when I was having an in-depth and simple exchange with Mrs. Wang, I mentioned it casually. Wouldn't it be more effective than Li Wan and Wang Xifeng?

Wang Xifeng suddenly beamed with joy. Lai Shangrong told Mrs. Wang that he could avoid Mrs. Wang from suspecting that he had seized power, and the effect would be much better than his own.

Unable to hold himself back any longer, his whole body fell on Lai Shangrong.

"Master!~ I've had enough of this food, why not change the taste and try something else!"
