Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 34 The moth wants to fly to the fire

Qin Zhong returned to Ning Mansion in fear, lying on the table absent-mindedly, staring at his homework. Qin Keqing didn't even notice that he came in.

"What are you thinking about? I'm not going to eat either!"

Qin Zhong heard the sound and looked up to see his sister looking at him.

"No...nothing!"

"It's nothing. Are you just here in a daze? Why don't you tell the truth!"

The eldest sister is like a mother, and Qin Keqing is still somewhat majestic in front of her younger brother.

Qin Zhong hesitated and said: "Um...Uncle Xue went to the school to make trouble today, thanks to Master Lai's protection. But...it's just that later Master Lai asked me to run away first, and I stayed to hold off Uncle Xue."

"Ah! ~ Then he will be all right?"

She had heard of Xue Pan's nickname, he was a master who had beaten people to death. Thinking of Lai Shangrong risking his own life to protect his younger brother, she was moved and couldn't help but worry about his safety.

At the same time, he ordered his subordinates to ask Lai Sheng to go to Lai's house to inquire about what happened.

Qin Zhong even told his sister what happened yesterday when he picked up Lai Shangrong and met Xue Pan, and what happened today.

"You are also lucky to have your uncle as your teacher!"

Qin Keqing was very pleased to hear this.

Dad was indeed right. Not only did he teach well, he was also able to step forward at critical moments.

It can be seen that when he said that he wanted to protect the people he cared about, he was not lying. If his younger brother worships him as his teacher, he is also considered a person he cares about?Otherwise, why would he rather put himself in danger than let his brother run away first?

If Jia Rong is half as good as him...why...

Lai's house, in the front hall.

"Isn't Shang Rong back yet?"

Qingwen looked at Lai Sheng who was sweating profusely, and said puzzledly: "My uncle went to the school in the morning, and I should have come back by the time, I'm afraid something is delayed, why don't the second master drink some tea and wait a while. "

"Alas! Grandma Xiaorong said that Shang Rong had a conflict with the young master of the Xue family because of the young master of the Qin family. He was afraid that something might happen and sent me to come and have a look! You don't know that this young master of the Xue family is famous for being lawless. He even fought in Jinling. Someone died!"

"Ah!" Qingwen suddenly panicked and jumped up and down anxiously.

"I'm going to find the master!"

"Yeah! I'll go to the school and have a look!"

Qingwen left the main gate of Lai's house, fearing that she would take a detour to the corner gate of Rongfu to delay her time, so she went straight into Rongfu through the back door of Rongfu.

Since she and Lai Shangrong decided on the identity of the people in the house, Lai Shangrong no longer prohibited her from going to Rong Mansion. After all, even if Jia Mu wanted someone, there was no reason to force him to live in the house.

Although I am not familiar with Rongfu, fortunately there is only one road in the backyard with no forks.

After passing through the passage, I bumped into Siqi who had just left the small courtyard in the northeast corner.

Siqi wanted to stop Qingwen and ask if Lai Shangrong was at home, but thinking of what he was about to do, he quickly swallowed his words.

Qingwen was so anxious that she was not even in the mood to look at Siqi, let alone notice anything strange about her.

The two of them had their own thoughts, and their greetings were not hurriedly separated.

Qingwen rushed all the way to Rongfu's front yard to find Lai Da, and hurriedly told Lai Sheng's words truthfully.

Lai Da was anxious when he heard this. Xue Pan had a bad reputation. Although his son was smart and physically strong, he had no one to help him. If there were any disadvantages...

While regretting not arranging two long attendants, he sent someone to Lixiangyuan to find the Xue family to ask for someone, and then went to Jia Mu in person.

This matter involves the Xue family, so they should go to Mrs. Wang, but Lai Da is cautious.

Regardless of whether something is really wrong with the son, this matter cannot just go away like this. After all, the Xue family is Mrs. Wang's relative, so I'm afraid that when the time comes, they will force the matter to be trivialized.

Instead of complaining to Jia Mu later, it is better to expose the matter directly to Jia Mu now.And he knew that Jia's mother had always been dissatisfied with the Xue family who was clinging to the family.

Turning back to talk about Lai Sheng, thinking of going to the school again, he detoured to the West Corridor Lane of Rongfu, just turned the corner, and bumped into Lai Shangrong who was going home.

He stepped forward and grabbed his arm, looked carefully and said, "Is Shang Rongyou okay?"

"What can happen to me?" Lai Shangrong was confused.

"Grandma Xiaorong said that you had a conflict with that jerk from the Xue family, so I was afraid that something might happen to you and sent me to take a look!" Lai Sheng hurriedly explained. "Oh! It's all right! Although it's a bit tricky, it's all solved!"

Lai Shangrong was delighted. He didn't expect Xue Pan to make such a fuss and gain a lot of points from Qin Keqing.

"Is this considered concern?" I felt secretly happy.

It suddenly occurred to him that Qin Keqing's illness might not be cured yet, and if he was worried and feared that his illness would relapse, wouldn't it be joy to turn into sorrow.

"Second uncle, I'm fine. Go back and report it quickly so that she won't worry!"

Lai Sheng just thought it was a slip of the tongue, saying that he was worried about not feeling sorry, and didn't take it seriously.

"Eh!"

Watching him go away, it suddenly occurred to me that Qingwen had forgotten to mention that she had gone to Rong Mansion, but since Lai Shangrong was fine, it was just a false alarm.

He shook his head and returned to Ning Mansion.

Lai Shangrong bid farewell to Lai Sheng and turned into Ningrong back street, where he saw a tall and plump figure in green clothes and green skirt, lingering in front of his house.

It's Siqi!

After a moment's hesitation, he guessed that her coming here was probably related to Pan You'an.

Due to her parents' instructions, she guessed that Mrs. Wang wanted to publicize and put herself in charge of dealing with Pan You'an, so as to silence Mrs. Xing's mouth.

"What are you doing here?"

Of course, you can't dare to go in just because a girl is blocking the door of your house. You can't just ignore Si Qi and walk in without saying a word.

Siqi was originally hesitating in front of the door with a troubling heart, but when he saw Lai Shangrong, he no longer hesitated and followed him into the yard.

The concierge just thought she came in with Lai Shangrong and didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Lai Shangrong passed the second gate and found that Si Qi was following him.

He asked knowingly: "Why are you following me?"

Siqi gritted his teeth and took two steps forward, stared at him and said, "You'an was caught by his wife, you have to save him!"

"Save him? Why?"

Lai Shangrong ignored her and followed her if she wanted to. He was a grown man too lazy to mess with a little girl, so he left it to Qingwen to deal with her later, so he walked straight to the back garden.

The two of them arrived at Lai Shangrong's residence by the back garden, one after the other.

"Qingwen!"

Qingwen was not found in the study, so she glanced at Siqi who was silent, guessing that she was late, Qingwen was about to take a lunch break in the room, so she walked into the room.

I took a look inside the house and saw no one.

"boom!"

Lai Shangrong turned around and saw Siqi's back firmly against the door of the house.

"Stop looking for her! She's gone to the house!"

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier!" Lai Shangrong said speechlessly, "Hey! That's not right! Why did you close the door?"

Siqi stared at Lai Shangrong with shame and anger.

After all, it was mostly resentment. Lai Shangrong didn't notice the shame and felt very angry at the sight.

"Don't be impulsive! Your cousin's affairs have nothing to do with me!"

"I know it has nothing to do with you! I also know what you want, as long as you promise to save Youan's life!"

As he spoke, he pulled the bright red tie around his waist and unbuttoned the blue satin chinchilla coat.

"wait wait wait!"

Lai Shangrong glanced at the half-open lapel, swallowed, and asked, "Are you sure you just want to save his life?"

"If you dare not admit it, I will risk my life to drag you into the water!"

In Siqi's eyes, Lai Shangrong had a bad record of breaking his promise, so he threatened with a stern voice without any hesitation.
