Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 375
The next day.

I visited Rongxi Hall early in the morning.

She knew very well that Xiren had already changed the court and was used by Mrs. Wang, so the news of Jia Baoyu's fright would naturally be delivered here as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, it happened to be the day when Jiao Fang's family members were visiting, so Mrs. Wang was in a hurry and rushed to the palace.

For Tanchun, this was an unexpected surprise. After all, Xue Baochai was appointed by Mrs. Wang, so she might not cover up her mistakes, but Jia Mu would not have this problem.

To be on the safe side, I asked Mrs. Wang off and then moved to Rongqing Hall.

Sure enough, just after sitting down for a while, Xiren came over to report.

When Jia's mother heard that Jia Baoyu was frightened, she hurriedly asked why.

After listening, he said in a deep voice: "I must have expected this. Nowadays, people are not careful when going out at night. It's still a small matter. I'm afraid they are thieves."

He immediately ordered people to ask for a doctor, and also told Xiren to go back and take good care of him.

After the attacker left, Tan Chun said: "Since last year, Sister Feng has been unwell, and the people below have become much more unrestrained than before. Previously, they only sneaked away for a while, or gathered in groups at night. Let’s play cards in one place. Recently, there has been no restraint. Gambling games have been started, and some people even sit on the bank and draw the jackpot. There are big wins and losses of thirty, fifty or even hundreds of dollars.”

The mother-in-law of Hengwuyuan was so confident that she even confessed in front of Lin Daiyu, let alone anyone who wanted to explore her.

Unfavorable control may not necessarily achieve what you want, but if you deliberately indulge the people around you, it is of another nature, and may even arouse the association of Jia Mu.

Therefore, Tanchun did not dwell on the lax access control, but instead pointed the finger at Jugou.

"Since you know, why didn't you come back to us earlier?" Jia Mu scolded.

Tanchun hurriedly explained: "I thought that my wife had many things to do and was feeling uncomfortable for days, so I didn't reply. I only told my sister-in-law and the people in charge that I had been warned several times and that I have been feeling better recently."

This is well documented. Ever since she heard Aunt Zhao's analysis, she has been thinking about how to seize power without involving herself.

She also mentioned it to Li Wan several times, but the sister-in-law pretended to be deaf and dumb, and there was nothing she could do about it.

Mother Jia knows very well that since Yuanchun was punished last year, Mrs. Wang's focus has been on this aspect. She is often absent-minded after the Lantern Festival, mostly because of the long-term treatment, but there is no improvement in Yuanchun.

Therefore, without doubting the existence of it, he taught Qi Tanchun, "How do you know the stakes here? You think gambling is common, but you are afraid of disputes. But you don't know that when you play with money at night, you can't avoid eating and drinking." , so that the door will not be unlocked at will.

Or when you are shopping, looking for Zhang or Li, the night is quiet and there are few people, so you can hide thieves and lure thieves, so you can't do anything like this.Moreover, in the living room of the sisters in the garden, the companions are all girls and daughters-in-law. The virtuous and foolish are mixed together. Thefts and thefts are trivial. If there are other things, if they are involved even a little bit, the relationship is not small.How can this be forgiven? "

Immediately afterwards, he ordered people to spread the news to Lin Zhixiao's family, and immediately investigated the banker and gamblers. Those who came out first were rewarded, and those who kept secrets were punished.

Lin Zhixiao's family originally held the access control, and was already dissatisfied with Xue Baochai, who came down from the air and suppressed her at every turn.

Originally, I was worried about Mrs. Wang's reaction, but now I have Mother Jia's order, so I naturally do my best.

She was already familiar with all kinds of ills, and the news Wang Xifeng got was also passed on by her through her daughter Xiaohong. However, she didn't expect that Wang Xifeng would not use the topic for a long time.

There is no need to peel off the cocoon, follow the clues, call his two aunts' in-laws, make pretentious inquiries, and then go straight to Hengwuyuan.

In Hengwu Garden, Xue Baochai, who had already received the news, sat upright.

Looking at the mother-in-law kneeling in the hall, she also felt miserable.

She knows very well that it is not as easy to use as carrots and sticks.

It's not a lie that nine times out of ten bets, she loses. She also had this consideration in allowing the mother-in-law in her hospital to take the gamble.

Once a mother-in-law participates in gambling, she will owe money to her subordinates, and she will have no choice but to work hard in the future.Although she was just conniving, and the mother-in-law of Hengwuyuan was not from her Xue family, she would definitely have a reputation as a disciplinarian.

If it was a normal time, it wouldn't matter much, and it would naturally be forgotten after a long time, but at this moment, she wholeheartedly wanted to be the second wife of Lai's family.

Even though Lai Shangrong didn't care about the trivial matters of Rong Mansion, it was hard to prevent someone who was interested in informing him.

He even deliberately guided Lai Shangrong to speculate on his own purpose.

To marry a wife is to marry a virtuous person. Once there is doubt about this, the plan to have a second wife will come to nothing.

"Since you are mine, I will naturally protect you. You first list the ones who owe the most money. I will find a way!"

"Hey! Hey!" The mother-in-law kowtowed like pounding garlic, and announced a few more names.

Xue Baochai waved her hand to leave.

Just at this moment, Feng Feng from Lin Zhixiao's family arrived in a hurry, greeted Xue Baochai, and stepped forward to arrest the old woman.

Just listen to Xue Baochai say: "Mother Lin, wait a minute! Why is this?"

Lin Zhixiao's family told the whole story and said, "They deceived the superiors and concealed it. It has nothing to do with the girl. The old lady is still waiting for news, so she won't disturb the girl's rest."

"There is something hidden about this matter. I asked you about it just now. Why don't you have a cup of tea with Mrs. Lin and let's discuss it in detail?"

Xue Baochai said as he backed away, closed the door, and then said to Lin Zhixiao's family: "Please be careful, Mother Lin. She was only brought out to take the blame. Don't wrongly accuse a good person!"

"She is determined not to die until she reaches the Yellow River. Don't be deceived by her sweet words!"

"She had a fight with me, I can't let her be wronged!"

Xue Baochai changed the subject and said in a deep voice: "The Xiao Hong in front of Girl Feng is Mother Lin's daughter, right?"

"Hmph!" Lin Zhixiao's family snorted coldly: "Second Grandma has ignored the affairs of the house for a long time. This matter was also ordered by the old lady. What does it have to do with her?"

Lin Zhixiao's family didn't know why Xue Baochai suddenly mentioned her daughter, but she thought she was filing a complaint through her daughter.

Xue Baochai said lightly: "Mother Lin misunderstood. I thought that before Xiaohong went to Feng Yatou and had a private relationship with her husband, I was afraid that she would be misunderstood, so I helped hide it. Now, my person has been wrongly accused. , is Mother Lin really unwilling to help her get justice?"

"What!" Lin Zhixiao's family was frightened by the sudden turn of events.

Then he said with an expression of anger: "This is impossible! Xiao Hong has always been careful and polite, and girls should not spray blood with blood!"

Xue Baochai sighed: "Of course I know your daughter is not such a frivolous person, otherwise why wouldn't she report the knowledge? But, I think about you mother and daughter so much, is it possible that Mother Lin has to watch helplessly, and the people around me are being wronged? Can’t do it?”

Lin Zhixiao's family had already believed it seventy-eight percent at this moment. If it was not true, how could Xue Baochai dare to say it in front of him?
However, the matter was serious and related to her daughter's reputation. She did not dare to listen to one side or the other. She was in a dilemma and was riding a tiger with difficulty.

Just listen to Xue Baochai say: "I know Mother Lin won't believe my words. While I still have time, why not ask Xiaohong."

After hearing that they had to go find Xiaohong by themselves, Lin Zhixiao's family even gave up their last doubts.

Although Xue Baochai didn't say it explicitly, the implication was obvious. Once he questioned Hengwuyuan's mother-in-law, she would definitely expose her daughter.

Although I don't think Xue Baochai will cheat, I can only rest assured if I ask my daughter.

Where did he have the mind to take someone else, he hurriedly left Hengwu Court and ran to Wang Xifeng Court.
