Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 35 The aggrieved Xue family

Inside Rongqing Hall!

Mother Jia looked gloomy, looking at Aunt Xue and Baochai who hurriedly came to stand or sit down, and did not ask Yuanyang to carry the chair.

But when Yuanyang heard that Xue Pan had kidnapped Lai Shangrong, he would not be considerate and help them sit down.

Lai Da and his wife did not hide the anger in their eyes at all.

"Don't worry, his aunt. That kid Shang Rong has always been stable. I think even if something happens, he can handle it properly and won't cause any big trouble!"

Aunt Xue felt hot on her face. Mother Jia's words were polite and sounded like words of comfort, but she kept saying that Lai Shangrong was steady and would handle it properly. So if something went wrong, wouldn't it be her son's fault?

But judging from what we know so far, it is indeed his son who took the initiative to provoke him, and he has never been serious, so it would be best if nothing really happened.

I can only bite the bullet and say: "What the old lady said is that it's just that the child hasn't come home yet, and we don't know what's going on. The most important thing at the moment is to find someone first!"

As he spoke, he kept glancing toward the door.

She and Baochai had dinner and took a lunch break in the house. After hearing the news, she immediately got up and dressed up and rushed over. Fortunately, Baochai reminded her and sent Tongxi to Mrs. Wang to report the news.

However, due to time constraints and the presence of outsiders, there was no time to elaborate. I just said that Xue Pan was in trouble and asked her to come to Jia Mu quickly.

When Baochai saw her mother always looking away, she quietly tapped her behind her back to remind her not to take it too seriously.

He nodded to Mr. and Mrs. Lai and said with a smile: "Butler Lai, don't worry. Last time I heard that Baoyu said that my brother and Mr. Lai had a meal at the same table. I don't know where they will go to have a drink!"

Lai Shangrong's mother, Mrs. Xu, said angrily: "Shang Rong has always been sensible, so of course he won't provoke anyone. It's the young master who wants to trouble the young master of the Qin family, so he has to come forward as the master hired by the school."

Baochai was immediately dumbfounded when she heard this. She and Aunt Xue heard incomplete information. They only knew that Xue Pan had kidnapped Lai Shangrong, but they didn't know that Qin Zhong was there.

Xue Pan had made a fuss over Qin Zhong last year, and it seemed that his old illness had relapsed this time. This time he offended not only the Ning Mansion, but also the powerful slaves of the Rong Mansion, and there was no good way to do it for a while.

I can only comfort the Lai family with Aunt Xue that nothing will happen, and hope that my aunt, Mrs. Wang, will come over soon.

Mrs. Wang was also taking a lunch break. After hearing the good news, she got dressed and was about to go to Rongqing Hall. But as soon as she stepped out of the courtyard, she turned to look for Wang Xifeng.

Since Aunt Xue told her to go to Rongqing Hall, it was naturally Mother Jia who got the news first. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to handle it alone. Sister Feng was the best at pleasing Mother Jia, so calling her would be a good idea.

This twist and turn delayed for less than half an hour. When they arrived at Rongqing Hall, Aunt Xue could no longer stand on her legs.

As soon as Sister Feng entered the room, she smiled and said: "Hey! What kind of day is it today? Why do you come to the old lady to join in the fun?"

Then he joked: "It seems there is no room for me to sit. I'd better stand and let my wife and aunt sit!"

Yuanyang could no longer pretend to be stupid at this time, so he brought two stools and placed them under Jia Mu's head.

Sister Feng helped Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang to sit down, and then went to stand beside Jia Mu.

Wang Xifeng has always been shrewd. When she entered the room, she saw Jia's mother looking calm. If Mrs. Wang hadn't been present, she wouldn't have even made a joke.

Aunt Xue had already taken her seat at this time, and she didn't know what the trouble was, so she naturally refused to say another word.

Mrs. Wang glanced at her sister and could only bite the bullet and said: "I heard that Wenlong caused trouble outside, why did he disturb the old lady?"

As she said this, she looked at Lai Da and his wife. She just thought that Xue Pan had caused trouble outside, and Lai Da and his wife knew about it and deliberately brought the matter to Jia Mu.

Of course, this idea was correct, but I didn't know it was related to Lai Shangrong.That's why I deliberately looked at them and asked them to give an explanation.

Mr. and Mrs. Lai just pretended not to see it. Aunt Xue saw the awkward situation and hurriedly told the whole story.

Mrs. Wang first heard that Xue Pan was provoking Lai Shangrong. She thought that the last time she didn't listen to the lucky general, she caused such a big trouble. This time, Xue Pan took the initiative to provoke Lai Shangrong, and she didn't know how to be nice.

But as I listened, I noticed something was wrong.

He hurriedly asked: "How early and late did it happen?"

"It's just when the school is over. If it wasn't in front of the school master, how could this happen?"

This time Lai Da spoke. He was afraid that Aunt Xue was deliberately covering up, so he pointed out Lai Shangrong's responsibilities in advance and did not take the initiative to provoke Xue Pan.

"That's not right! I saw that kid Shang Rong when I came back from the old lady after lunch!"

"Have you seen it? Where did you see it?"

Faced with Jia's mother's questioning, Mrs. Wang knew about Baoyu, and she panicked for a moment and replied: "My master and I asked him to do something. We originally went to see him last night, but he happened to not be at home."

After hearing this, Mrs. Lai and his wife finally felt relieved. Mrs. Wang would not open her eyes and tell lies, let alone in front of Jia Mu, and they also knew that everything was right.

It's good that his son is fine. I'm afraid they are making a fuss out of a molehill. They don't want to offend Mrs. Wang because of this, so they look at each other.

He was busy endorsing Mrs. Wang, hoping to ease the situation.

"We know this. Yesterday, my wife asked Zhou Rui to go find him. It was because Mr. Qin asked him to go to the Qin family and formally become a disciple of the young master of the Qin family, so I was afraid of being disrespectful after eating some wine."

Seeing that the matter had eased, Sister Feng hurriedly smiled and said: "Hey! This matter is probably a misunderstanding. I'm afraid it happened by chance. I think it's better to send someone back to take a look."

Although it was an ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo and and and and and in [-]s to [-]s and [-]ssssssssssssssssssssss of the time.

He hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, yes! Send someone to take a look!"

Mr. Lai and his wife hurriedly left the Rongqing Hall and asked Qingwen who was outside the house to go back and take a look. They also said: "This incident has alarmed the old lady. It's best to ask her to come over if anything happens!"

After all, he was still afraid that Mrs. Wang was deliberately covering up or having some internal injuries, and Lai Shangrong would not allow them to deny it later in person.

He sent Qingwen away and returned to the house.

Just in time, Jia Mu asked Mrs. Wang.

"I see Baoyu didn't go to school today. What's wrong with Shang Rong when you ask him?"

Mrs. Wang knew that even if this would be a prevarication, Jia Mu would have to find someone to verify her, and she couldn't hide it, so she found an excuse to send Baochai away and then reported the truth truthfully.

"You guys see that I'm getting older, and you dare to hide this from me. You always let that screwdriver spoil things!"

After a long pause, he said again: "But it's quite thoughtful for you to ask Shang Rong to handle this matter. This child is willing to protect Qin Zhong's child, which shows that he is not the same person as this kid."

Mrs. Wang didn't feel anything yet, but Aunt Xue only felt her face being slapped hard.

Jia's mother pointed at Sang and scolded Huai. Seeing that she was scolding Pan You'an, she also scolded Xue Pan.
