However, Sun Shaozong was brave at the beginning and weak at the end.
In the backyard of Rongguo Mansion, there were also the Master and Servants ”missing” him.
"Why did Madam just agree to Lai Da?"
Ping'er sat at the end of the bed, holding an embroidered veil in her hand, but she had not stitched for a long time. Instead, her two red lips were moving non-stop, "Not to mention that we still haven’t got a definite explanation from Lord Sun, but this crime of Imperial examination fraud alone is not comparable to printing fake money and soliciting lawsuits. What should we do if there is a real problem?"
It turned out that Lai Da and his wife had just come to visit and mentioned Lai Shangrong's participation in the Autumn Examination. The intention was to inquire about the situation, and see if they can acquire any shortcomings of Sun Shaozong.
However, Wang Xifeng was a little outspoken and promised to make peace in the middle to help Lai Shangrong.
The Lai Da couple just thought that she had a plan in mind, so they went off with gratitude.
But Ping'er knew that Wang Xifeng's means of ”making peace” was only a saying, and she was afraid that she was still far away from finishing.
Wang Xifeng was reclining at the head of the bed and closed her eyes. After hearing Ping’er's words, she took off her embroidered shoes, stretched her foot on Ping’er's back, and kicked her playfully. She pretended to be angry and said, "What's wrong? You little bitch can't expect me to be better off?"
Now that she had stretched out, she was too lazy to take it back, so she raised her five toes like a lotus and scratched on her waist.
At the same time, she said, "The Lai family always holds on to the kindness of the Old lady, and you have no idea how much they have taken from us usually. It's not easy to catch the opportunity to salvage it. How can I let it go?"
"What's more, although the Erlang of the Sun family is a stranger, he is very shrewd in his actions. It may not be easy for others to find his faults!"
Ping'er was very uncomfortable because of her teasing. She quickly pressed the white little foot down and said angrily, "Madam has to use this method on Second Uncle, how can you bully me?"
She then tickled the soles of her feet.
Wang Xifeng was most sensitive to barefoot. She almost fell off the bed at that moment. She quickly reached out to hold the railing at the head of the bed and said with a smile, "You little bitch, don't make false accusations. If I want to take advantage of the shortcomings of Sun Shaozong, I can't do it without you. I'm afraid that I would have to flatter you now. How will I dare to bully you?"
Hearing this, Ping'er suddenly remembered the love poem, and her face turned red. She turned around and pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Madam should find someone else and save my trouble here. Else, Madam will think that I have other ideas!"
"Wow, you little bitch still want to get your revenge!"
Wang Xifeng uttered an exaggerated cry. She was about to jump on the floor and crack the floor. Suddenly she heard a dull noise from outside, and it seemed that someone stumbled in.
Then, a vague curse came from the outside, "Where are the people? Where the hell are all the people?!"
Just listening to this tone, they knew that it was Jia Lian.
Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows and cursed in a low voice, "I clearly ask this fool to supervise the work in the other courtyard. Who knew that he came home playing the drunkenness act again!"
Ping'er, however, did not dare to be negligent. She got up and went out. Seeing Jia Lian stubble in the flower hall, she stood up to help him.
Who knew that Jia Lian would jump on her and press her onto the table, touching her and jokingly saying, "Why did you only come out after so long? Are you hiding a man inside? Come on, let me check it!"
Although Ping'er was known as a maid in name, and a concubine in reality, she was Jia Lian's rightful person, but because of Wang Xifeng's jealous nature, she couldn’t have a chance to serve as a woman several times a year.
Earlier, she was teased by Wang Xifeng, and now, she was held down by Jia Lian. She felt the love of spring. Although her hands were still pushing, her heart was already soft.
"Yo!"
At this moment, Wang Xifeng said with a jealous sneer, "I was thinking why were you in such a hurry just now, it seems that you guys have agreed on this meeting! Do you want me to go out and take shelter and give this room to you? "
However, her actions were different. She came forward and pulled Jia Lian hard, and then shouted at Ping’er, "Who are you showing that charming appearance to? Don’t you hurry and make a bowl of refreshing soup soon!"
Ping’er felt aggrieved, but she knew that she could not refute it at this time, so she went to the small kitchen.
Unexpectedly, when she came back with a bowl of refreshing soup, she saw that the room door had been locked up, and there was still the sound of something shameless.
Ping’er, holding the refreshing soup, listened to the sound from the wall root, and felt that the day was even duller.
—Dividing Line—
During the night, at the Lai Mansion.
Lai Da and his wife, Lai Zhang, sat side by side at the head of the bed, putting their feet into a large copper basin, and letting a pretty maid knead them.
"The Master was right."
Then Lai Zhang said, "The Young Second Madam Lian really caught that Sun."
"Hmph."
Lai Da just squinted and snorted but didn't answer.
"What’s wrong?"
Lai Zhang said strangely, "Did I say something wrong?"
"It’s right. But I just can’t bear to waste so much of our money!"
Lai Da said glumly and saw that the servant girl held up one of his feet and was ready to dry it with a towel, so he made efforts to break away from the servant girl's soft hands, took the opportunity to touch her chest, and rubbed it wantonly.
The servant girl was flushed, but she didn't dare to speak out, so she had to lower her head to scrub the other foot.
Lai Da then raised his spirits and retorted, "That Shrew Feng is used to talking big. It's not easy to catch an opportunity. I'm afraid that she will strike us hard! I've built all our businesses by virtue of my ability. Now I have to spit it out. I hate it!"
"So you are upset about this."
With a smile, Lai Zhang poked a finger at his forehead and said, "You are smart but confused for a while. If Madam Lian can grasp his shortcomings, why can’t we?"
"You mean..."
"Starting tomorrow, let's keep an eye on Madam Lian and see how she acts." Lai Zhang said, "If nothing happens, that’s fine. However, if she shows her flaws and we get the shortcomings of Lord Sun, we might as well go out and accept some lawsuits. By then, will we still be afraid that we won't be able to get back our money?"
The more Lai Da listened, the brighter his eyes became. He couldn't help but kiss her wife’s old face. He laughed and said, "You are indeed my good wife. If we can really hold on to this way of making money, it will not be as simple as just getting our money back!"
With these words, he kicked the pretty maid to the ground and scolded, "What are you waiting for? Go and bring the secret Hekan wine from southern Xinjiang!"
When Lai Zhang heard this, she knew that he wanted to be boosted and share a "fierce and high night like the dragon and tiger spirits” with her.
With joy in her heart, her mind was filled with active ideas, so she hurriedly added, "I'm afraid that we have to watch Zhou Rui’s couple closely too. Recently, they have been very close to Madam Lian."
