Rong Shanbao praised Lu Jianglai in public. He never criticized Yan Guanlai for his behavior on weekdays, but now he openly criticized Yan Guanlai for Lu Jianglai. From now on, no servant would boss Lu Jianglai around again.
Lu Jianglai took an errand from Rong Shanbao and was going to repair the swing for the eldest lady. When he saw Rong Shanbao giving him a plate of silver ingots, Rong Shanbao hoped that Lu Jianglai could help Cousin Wen more and avoid the cold arrows of those villains.Lu Jianglai's self-esteem was stung and he refused to be Cousin Wen's foil, saying that he was willing to serve Cousin Wen all because of Rong Shanbao, but please hope that Rong Shanbao would not let him be a substitute.
Bai Yingsheng was invited by Rong Junxi several times, and he hesitated. Now that Rong Mansion wanted to get close to Rong Shanbao, he could neither get too close to other women nor be resented by the eldest sister. He walked into the garden unknowingly and met Rong Yunshu. Rong Yunshu was grateful to Bai Yingsheng for helping her find the flowers she liked last time, so he struck up a conversation with Bai Yingsheng and said that he would help him get closer to Rong Shanbao. He deliberately poured tea from the cup on Bai Yingsheng.
Bai Yingsheng's clothes were stained with tea stains, so he couldn't blame Rong Yunshu, so he had to listen to him and change clothes elsewhere.While changing clothes, Rong Junxi had someone quietly take away Bai Yingsheng's clothes and deliberately exposed Bai Yingsheng shirtless.Bai Yingsheng is a scholar. Scholars naturally regard face as bigger than the sky and are too embarrassed to come out.At this time, Lu Jianglai stepped forward. He saw Bai Yingsheng walking away with several maids on the way. His curiosity made him follow quietly. Unexpectedly, he saw Rong Junxi humiliating Bai Yingsheng.
Lu Jianglai immediately gave the clothes to Bai Yingsheng, and Rong Junxi angrily scolded Lu Jianglai for not knowing the rules. At this moment, Rong Shanbao came!A lady from Rong Mansion actually snatched Bai Yingsheng's clothes. If word got out, Rong Junxi's reputation would be tarnished.Rong Shanbao scolded the fourth sister for not doing things properly, and then personally sent Bai Yingsheng back.
Bai Yingsheng originally thought that it was Rong Yunshu who made him look embarrassed, but in the end, he unexpectedly got Rong Shanbao to send him off in person. It seemed that Rong Yunshu was really helping him.Rong Shanbao invited Bai Yingsheng to play chess together. The two chatted and it seemed that Bai Yingsheng was about to win. However, Bai Yingsheng placed the chess pieces in one hand and glanced at Rong Shanbao. After all, he deliberately let Rong Shanbao win the game.
Lu Jianglai followed Bai Yingsheng quietly, and the eldest lady played chess with him, which really made Lu Jianglai feel uncomfortable. He stepped forward and made up an excuse, saying that there were rumors that Bai Yingsheng was ill and did not dare to see people shirtless, which frightened Bai Yingsheng to say goodbye to Rong Shanbao in a hurry.Lu Jianglai got the opportunity to get close to Rong Shanbao, took the initiative to admit his mistake, and was willing to help Rong Shanbao escape the siege and avoid those who wanted to marry him.
In order to make the outside world misunderstand the relationship between the two, Lu Jianglai deliberately pushed Rong Shanbao on the swing. He did not shy away from intimate gestures and soon attracted jealous eyes.First it was Manager Cheng, then Yang Dingcheng.Yang Dingcheng openly intercepted Lu Jianglai and proposed a duel outside the house tomorrow.Lu Jianglai readily accepted the letter of challenge and asked the servants around him to keep the secret for him.
Rong Shanbao knew that Yang Dingcheng was a ruthless person, and originally wanted to persuade Lu Jianglai not to meet Yang Dingcheng alone, but when he saw Lu Jianglai coming to the door and deliberately avoided it, he decided to try Lu Jianglai's kung fu.
The next day, Lu Jianglai defeated Yang Dingcheng, but Yang Dingcheng applied poison to the knife wound. Lu Jianglai was poisoned and was in critical condition. Fortunately, he was carried back to Rongfu for treatment by the servants in time, and he saved his life.
