Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 165 It's Too Late to Regret
Lai's house, in the west wing of the backyard.

There were bursts of breathing like bellows.

"Sir...Sir! When...I sent my slave to Aunt Rong's side, it was...to make it easier for my slave to come out later. Now...my lord wants to promise the second lady to you. Isn't it just right for my slave to follow her into the house when she returns?" Have you never thought about..."

"Hmph! How dare you question me, sir! It seems I can only seal your hole tightly first!"

"Woooooo!~"

I don’t know how much time passed, but along with the hearty shouting, there were bursts of rustling sounds in the house.

Before Lai Shangrong could find trouble with Baoyu, trouble came to him.

Jia She and Mrs. Xing arranged for Wang Shanbao's family and Qin Gui to spread rumors, but they saw the opportunity and immediately approached Siqi to discuss it.

Compared with marrying into a high family in the spring, marrying Lai Shangrong is more in line with the interests of the family.

After all, even if Yingchun marries a wealthy family, she will not be able to reach out to the Jia family, and both families are slaves of the Jia family, and their roots are also in the Rong family.

The Lai family is different. Lai Shangrong is young and already a fifth-grade head doctor. It can be said that he has a bright future.

What's more, although the Lai family has separated from its nationality, it is still a big tree with deep roots, and its roots are intertwined in Rong Mansion.

As Lai Shangrong rose through the ranks and Lai Da became indifferent to others, the circle of servants with the Lai family as the core gradually began to look down upon him and had no interest in running the business.

But the Lai family looked down upon her, but in the eyes of others she was just a piece of fat. Siqi was originally Yingchun's maid. As long as she returned to Yingchun and with her charming looks, she would be married into the Lai family. It is obviously inevitable for Lai Shangrong to take over the house.

With this relationship, it is logical for the Wang Shanbao family and the Qin family to take over the Lai family's connections in Rong Mansion.

As for Siqi, he also suspected that Lai Shangrong had an affair with Qin Keqing, and was worried that he would not be able to get rid of the relationship if the incident happened between the two, and she could only enter Lai's house if she lost her virginity to Lai Shangrong.

It's just that Lai Shangrong recommended Si Qi's transfer, and the old lady made the decision. Even if she went to find someone, she wouldn't be sure.

Therefore, Si Qi volunteered to come to Lai's house and persuade Lai Shangrong in person.

Looking at Siqi with a sad and angry face in front of him, Lai Shangrong took her into his arms and felt a pair of gifts massaging his chest.

He smiled and said: "Don't worry! I know what I'm doing. I've already thought about this for you. I've received word that my wife thinks it's a pity that the provincial residence is idle, so she plans to let the girls move in. When the time comes, ask your grandmother to ask for help." Madam, just use the excuse of moving to another hospital and the lack of manpower around the second lady to transfer you back!"

The disaster had eased last year, and the construction of the river embankments was in good order. It was not far from Qin Ye's return to Beijing.

When the time comes, let Qin Ye go to Jia Zhen to discuss Qin Keqing's affairs. There is indeed no need for Si Qi to stay any longer.

If you really marry Yingchun, it would be cheaper to come with her.

When Siqi heard this arrangement, his sadness turned into joy, and then he doubted it: "Really? The ladies don't know, how can the uncle know?"

Lai Shangrong slapped Si Qi's huge buttocks.

"You were beaten lightly just now? Do you still dare to question me?"

Then he pretended to be profound and said: "They can only enter the palace once or twice a month. The information is not well-informed. Just go back and wait for the letter. At most, there will be news in the middle of the month!"

With Si Qi's boldness, he hurriedly lowered his head after hearing this and did not dare to look at him. He squeezed out of Lai Shangrong's arms with difficulty and ran away.

…………

Rongfu, East courtyard.

Aunt Zhao was sitting cross-legged on the kang in a daze, looking haggard and without her usual charm.Although Jia Zheng concealed the truth about Mrs. Wang and Baoyu's poisoning, he did not conceal the fact that the antidote came from Lai Shangrong.

It was just slightly modified and changed to Lai Shangrong's search for the soul-reviving elixir obtained by famous doctors.

But others don't know, but Aunt Zhao knows that Mrs. Wang is not bewitched.

In addition, Ma Daopo disappeared for more than ten days in a row. Aunt Zhao was worried and sent her younger brother Zhao Guoji to search at Ma Daopo's home. She was even more panicked when she heard the report that the building was empty.

She didn't know that it was Jia Zheng who suppressed the matter. Instead, she thought it was Lai Shangrong who concealed her relationship.

Originally, she thought that Mrs. Wang had not fully recovered and had no energy to take care of herself.

But she was convinced of this guess when she saw Mrs. Wang in the courtyard just now. She was moving freely and there was nothing strange about her.

After all, Jia Zheng has been labeled as ruthless. Since he is inhumane and does not miss his old feelings, he has no use for his own tricks. How can he still tolerate himself?
And Mrs. Wang, the owner of this suffering, was even more unlikely to let herself go.

After much thought, only Lai Shangrong had the ability to conceal this matter.

After all, the antidote came from him. From the disappearance of Ma Daopo, it is not difficult to see that he either dealt with it secretly, or had already absconded in fear of crime.

But since Lai Shangrong was able to obtain the antidote, he must have interrogated Ma Daopo, so wouldn't his role in the incident be revealed?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but speculate on Lai Shangrong's motives.

Ordinarily, Lai Shangrong got the antidote and saved Mrs. Wang and Baoyu, which was already a huge achievement. Whether he was seeking money or power, he should go to Mrs. Wang. He could not hide it for himself who had no power or wealth.

But what if he is not seeking wealth or power, but sex?
After all, apart from the kung fu of serving others, I have nothing else to do.

Besides, he hinted at himself last month.

snort!He is quite knowledgeable...

Or maybe you've been a slave for a long time, and you want to taste what it's like to be a master?
Thinking of this, my uneasy mood finally eased, and I even felt a little regretful.

If I had known that he had such means, I should have given in half the time.

Do not!
We should show some tricks to let this young boy taste the sweetness.

He is such a hot-blooded boy, I am just lying there, he has the tendency to be unable to stop, how can he withstand those means?
As long as he gets a taste of the sweetness, it's not impossible to hang him with more... tricks and ask him to help hide the antidote.

In that case, wouldn't his plan to replace it be completed smoothly?
Why are you so frightened like you are now?
Thinking of this, I already regretted it.

While regretting it, I couldn't help but be glad that if Lai Shangrong hadn't been a lecher, I would have died without a burial place.

However, since he helped hide this matter, he was probably using it as a blackmail to force him to submit.

He even forced himself to do some tricks to satisfy his unknown and dirty thoughts.

Now that the master is disabled and unwilling to protect the two of them, it is a last resort for him to be forced to surrender to others.

Ah!
Last time, I was given a piece of soap after I dipped it. This time I tried harder and thought it wouldn't be difficult to ask for a dressing mirror, right?
The more I thought about it, the more excited I became. I got up from the kang and came to the dressing table. I just took out the rouge and gouache from the makeup package and prepared to dress up.

But looking at the blurry face in the mirror, everything seems to be an eyesore.

As he watched, he became more and more expecting Lai Shangrong to come and threaten him.
