Chapter 107: A Plan Within a Plan
"Ji Lang!"
Following Zhou Rui to the door of the flower hall, they saw Jia Lian waiting on the steps.
"Lian Er..."
Sun Shaozong had just bowed and hadn't finished greeting when he heard someone behind him shouting, "Second Master, Second Master! Something happened in the other courtyard, someone..."
Perhaps because they saw that there were outsiders present, the shouting suddenly stopped.
Then, a male servant with sweat all over his forehead ran up to him and whispered something in Jia Lian's ear. Jia Lian's face changed several times, and finally he stamped his feet and cursed: "These lowly creatures, are they going to rebel?!"
Then he apologized to Sun Shaozong, "Erlang, I have something urgent to deal with. Please wait here for a while. When I'm done, I'll drink three cups to apologize to you!"
Having said that, he called Zhou Rui and left in a hurry.
This is really...
Sun Shaozong stood in front of the flower hall in silence for a while. Then he stepped in and saw a full banquet on the round table in the middle.
He walked forward and picked up a jar of wine, first looked at the outer packaging, then poured himself a bowl and drank it, and found that he had indeed drunk it before.
As a result, he became more and more certain that finding "aged and fine wine" was just an excuse. Jia Lian called him here just to smooth over the connections for the Lai family.
I just don't know if Lai Da will be with Jia Lian when he comes back. This trick should be used in front of the main target to achieve the best effect.
I was thinking about how to respond when Lai Da was present, and what to say when Lai Da was not present.
He suddenly felt someone was spying on him from outside.
Sun Shaozong glanced inconspicuously and saw a maid outside the flower hall carrying a food box, pacing back and forth like walking through a city gate, with her pair of peach blossom eyes never leaving the flower hall.
This maid...
It seemed to be the one who had just blocked Li Wan's way.
This food box...
It seems to be exactly the same as the one with the love poem hidden in it.
Could it be... again?
Sun Shaozong secretly groaned in his heart. Didn’t he already refuse her last time? Why was this pretty widow still pestering him?
He wanted to pretend that he didn't see it, but was afraid of being caught by others - although he had a clear conscience, if he could explain such things clearly, there wouldn't be so many rumors in the world!
After a little hesitation, Sun Shaozong got up and walked outside. Seeing that there was no one around, he called the maid over and asked, "Is this sister here to look for me?"
The maid came forward timidly, held out the food box in her hand, and said, "Our grandmother...our Brother Lan heard that Master Sun had arrived, so she asked this maid to bring some snacks over."
The maid seemed to know something about the "inside story", which made Sun Shaozong even more depressed. As the saying goes, "If the ruler is not discreet, he will lose his ministers; if the minister is not discreet, he will lose his chastity." How could he let others know about the beautiful widow's love letter? !
Sun Shaozong was thinking about how to reject Li Wan subtly but firmly, so as to prevent her from pestering him and causing trouble.
Unexpectedly, when the kind girl saw that he was unwilling to take it, she put the food box on the steps, turned around and ran away.
"Hey~ come back, come back..."
Sun Shaozong called out twice, but Shan Jie refused to listen and disappeared in a flash.
Damn~
What is this?!
Sun Shaozong stood at the door in silence for a long while, and had no choice but to carry the food box into the flower hall.
I put it on the table and took off the lid to take a look. Sure enough, it was another plate of snacks commonly seen in wealthy families. It was indeed not possible to prepare anything fancy in such a short time.
He fiddled with the snack with chopsticks for a few times and picked up a piece of paper from under the snack. Sure enough, there was another love poem on it.
However, this time, there was a lot more resentment than the last time. She denounced the "husband's heart as hard as iron" and said that she had wanted to "forget each other from now on", but she "tossed and turned and could not sleep at night".
So she thought it over again and again, and finally wrote this love poem, saying that if her lover changed his mind , she would sing an answering poem with her and put it on the bottom of the plate.
If he still refuses to give in to my longing for you, I can ask him to give me a personal token to comfort me.
Alas~
After watching for a long time, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but sigh: If this person is too outstanding, he will really cause a lot of unnecessary trouble!
And a poem or something...
First of all, Sun Shaozong must be able to write, so needless to say, this option is naturally ruled out.
As for giving a personal token of trust, he was a little undecided for a moment.
The safest approach, naturally, is to choose neither option, but the problem is that there is no feedback at all, so Li Wan should write a third love poem!
This back and forth, what if someone notices...
Just when he was in a dilemma, Sun Shaozong realized that someone was peeping at him outside. He glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, but the person was vaguely hidden in the flowers and could not be seen clearly.
Because when Li Wan lowered her head shyly just now, there was obviously some affection in her expression, and Sun Shaozong never thought that this was a trap set by someone else.
Therefore, I just thought that the maid came back and wanted to see how I would deal with it.
Thinking this way, he didn't care too much.
at the same time……
In a secluded courtyard not far away, Mr. and Mrs. Lai were listening to someone's report.
"…Sister Shan left the food box and left. Lord Sun came in with the food box. I don't know what he saw, but he started to stare blankly."
If we talk about the most well-informed master in Rongguo Mansion, it must be Wang Xifeng.
But compared with Lai Da and his wife, Wang Xifeng is far inferior - just take today for example, ever since Sun Shaozong came into the family, his every move, no matter how big or small, has been under the surveillance of Lai Da and his wife!
After hearing the latest developments, Lai Da waved his hand and asked the trusted servant to leave.
The couple looked at each other, and Lai Zhang couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "What on earth was Second Madam Lian singing today? Why can't I understand it?"
"snort!"
Lai Da sneered and said disdainfully: "What else could it be? It's just a honey trap. Wasn't Rui Ge'er from the East Palace killed by her in the same way?"
Lai Zhang's eyes widened when she heard this, and she said in shock, "You...you mean that the Second Madam wants to seduce that guy surnamed Sun..."
"Of course not!"
Lai Da Dao said, "If that's the case, why would she let Ping'er lead the eldest lady over to meet that Sun?"
After a pause, he sneered again, "I heard some people say a few days ago that the grandmother often sent food to the Martial Arts School. I thought she was doing it for Brother Lang, but now it seems that there is something more complicated than that!"
"You mean..."
"The eldest madam and the man surnamed Sun must have had a secret affair , and the second madam Lian saw through it, so she wanted to use the same trick to trick the man surnamed Sun into falling into her trap!"
Lai Da said this with great confidence, and suddenly he thought of something. He pushed his wife and ordered, "Go home quickly and get the 'Southern Xinjiang Wedding Wine' and the 'Spiritual Turtle Pill'!"
Lai Zhang was stunned, but she became a little embarrassed and said shyly: "In broad daylight, why are you..."
"Another bullshit!"
Lai Da said angrily: "That Second Madam Lian is still a little young. If we don't add some spice to that Sun guy in broad daylight, how can we catch him?"
