Shuntian Mansion, when Jia Yucun heard from his subordinates that Xue Pan had beaten someone to death in Jinxiangyuan, and that the person was captured and taken back to Shuntian Mansion, he was a little confused.
With a frown, just when he was thinking about how to exonerate Xue Pan and how to sell the biggest favor to the four major families, his cronies reminded him: "Master, don't think about the benefits first. You'd better figure out how to get out. If this case involves Xue Pan's beating of Feng Yuan to death, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to my promotion!"
"Well, how about it?" Jia Yucun didn't think it was right. For someone like Xue Pan, killing someone by mistake was a big deal.
"The person who died was the son of Captain Qiu."
"Captain Qiu, which Captain Qiu?"
"Guardian Qiu Tianyin, the left captain of the military camp!"
"Is it him?" Jia Yucun frowned suddenly, and then sighed: "If so, I'm afraid we'll be in trouble."
……
In Rongguo Mansion, the drama suddenly came to an end.
Aunt Xue was not in a hurry to go home, because she knew that if something happened to her son, it would be easier to save her son by staying at Jia's house.
Mrs. Wang returned to the house and saw Aunt Xue looking at her worriedly, and comforted: "Don't worry, I have already found out that the person was taken away by Shuntian Mansion. Sister Yin of Shuntian Mansion was also there. The one who knows is Jia Yucun.
I think that with him here, Pan'er will definitely not suffer. For the current plan, it is better to find out the cause of the matter first, and then find a way to deal with Pan'er The only thing is to save him."
"What my sister said is that everything depends on her help. Pan'er is a loser, if he can escape with his life this time, I, I... …”
Aunt Xue wanted to speak harshly, but it was obviously in vain. If she had a way to control Xue Pan, she wouldn't be like this all these years.
Mrs. Wang also understands Aunt Xue's helplessness. Although she is very disgusted with Xue Pan's bastard, after all, he is her sister's only son. How can she not save her?
But now Jia Zheng has just been promoted to another province, Jia Lian is not at home, and there is no man in charge of the family. Suddenly encountering such a bad thing, she didn't know what to do for a moment, so she could only send people out to find out the news.
Fortunately, Xue Pan’s boy ran back soon. The boy who came back to report the news earlier was only responsible for taking care of the horses downstairs at Jinxiang. He immediately ran back to report the news, so he didn't know the details of what happened.
What came back this time was Xue Pan’s confidant Zhou Xing. Naturally, Mrs. Wang and others immediately detained him for questioning.
What happened is not complicated. It turns out that Xue Pan gathered a group of his brothers at Jinxiang Tower today.The younger brother was drinking. Halfway through, he summoned his old friend Yun'er but failed to summon him. After questioning the old bustard, he found out that Qiu Pan, the son of Captain Qiu of the guard camp, had also fallen in love with Yun'er today and wanted Yun'er as his companion.
In fact, for a building, there are only a few popular ones. Sometimes there is inevitably competition, but the building can usually make arrangements for them.
Unfortunately, Qiu Pan had issues with Xue Pan and others. The original reason was that Qiu Pan had a feud with Feng Ziying. The rude Qiu Pan was beaten up by the young and frivolous Feng Ziying, and Feng Ziying almost went to jail.
The circle of young men in Xicheng is so large, so Xue Pan and others naturally sided with Feng Ziying, and had several conflicts with Qiu Pan.
Today, in front of all the brothers, Qiu Pan dared to snatch his woman. This immediately made Xue Pan furious, so regardless of the dissuasion of others, he immediately led people to find her. Unexpectedly, he met Qiu Pan trying to force Yun'er in the room.
Xue Pan could not bear it now. You must know that Xue Pan, who is so young and wealthy, had to coax Yun'er into his hands in the first place. How dare this Qiu be so obscene! With old and new grudges coming together, Xue Pan took the slogan of greeting Qiu Pan's mother and rushed in immediately, bound to show his majesty and kill the villains.
Only when he suddenly discovered that Qiu Pan was curled up on the ground, with no air coming out, did he become frightened.
But at this time, Qiu Pan’s entourage also heard the sound and came over. He was so stunned that he didn’t have time to escape, so he was caught on the spot by the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion.
Zhou Xing was also taken away as an accomplice, but for some unknown reason, he was quietly released back shortly after entering the Shuntian Mansion Prison.
Knowing the whole story, Aunt Xue was shocked, angry and scared. She scolded Zhou Xing and asked him why he didn't keep an eye on Xue Pan and let him get into trouble.
But it was of no use, so he looked at Mrs. Wang again.
Mrs. Wang sighed: "Now that we know the whole story, the most important thing now is to confirm whether Pan'er was injured or not. I have asked the housekeeper to visit the enemy's house. I hope he is okay, otherwise... But sister, please rest assured, the enemy is only a fourth-grade official's family. No matter what, Pan'er will only suffer a little bit, and will not be in danger of her life.
I hope Pan'er will learn a lesson from this , I can act more restrained in the future and never be so reckless again."
Aunt Xue nodded, hoping that Qiu Pan would survive. She didn't think that if she really beat someone to death in public, she would only suffer a little after being an official.
Unless you are a relative of the emperor! Obviously, the Xue family is not.
Things went against expectations, and on that day the enemy hung up a white cloth and sang with sorrow and joy.
Neither the Jia family nor the Xue family could enter the enemy's family. The other party has obviously cut off any possibility of getting private, and has a fight-or-die attitude.
What’s embarrassing is that not only Jia Zheng and Jia Lian are not in Beijing, but Xue Pan’s other strong supporter, his uncle Wang Ziteng, is also not in Beijing. Instead, he has been patrolling the border. .
This caused Aunt Xue and others to feel helpless as they had nothing to do except rush to report the news. Just when Aunt Xue and others were trying various ways to solve the problem, a piece of shocking news came.
That night, the Ministry of Punishment suddenly sent people to Shuntian Mansion and brought Xue Pan and other intervening personnel to the Prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
Even Aunt Xue, a female prostitute, smelled something unusual about this incident, so she ignored her eyes which were red from crying and braced herself to go to Rongguo Mansion to find Mrs. Wang to discuss countermeasures.
Before I went out, I heard from the housekeeper: "Madam, the eldest son of the Feng family has sent someone!"
"Quick, please!"
Aunt Xue did not forget that before her son went out this morning, she said that he was going to invite Feng Ziying and others. This time the other party sent someone over, and there might be important news.
“Young Feng Sheng, I have met Mrs. br />
“To answer my wife’s question, our uncle asked me to come because he indeed has important news to convey to Madam.”
“Tell me quickly.”
Aunt Xue had no time to talk nonsense and just got straight to the point.
Feng Sheng said: "Our uncle said that he is deeply sorry for what happened today. He asked me to tell my wife that if she wants to save Uncle Xue, for the current plan, she can only ask one person to come forward. Only now are we sure to reverse the situation."
"Who is it?"
"It must be Lord Zhenyuan!"
Aunt Xue heard this, I feel like the other person is talking nonsense. Not to mention Jia Lian, even if their brother-in-law Jia Zheng was at home, they would not be so panicked.
"Why?"
"My uncle said. The enemy family is no better than other families. Although Qiu Tianyin is only a fourth-grade captain, he is a disciple of Prince Zhongshun.< br />
According to the news my uncle received, just this afternoon, Qiu Tianyin went to Prince Zhongshun’s Mansion, and then Prince Zhongshun took him into the palace with him, presumably to tell the story of his son’s death. Listen.”
As soon as these words came out,Not to mention Aunt Xue, even Baochai behind the screen was shocked. Aunt Xue's body was trembling as she sat on the chair. It was obvious that both mother and daughter were thinking about the news they had just received.
If what this person said is true, then it makes perfect sense for the Ministry of Punishment to suddenly intervene in this case. Thinking of this, Aunt Xue felt cold all over and couldn't say a word.
"Your Majesty is jealous of evil now. If you listen to the enemy's words, I'm afraid that Uncle Xue will have no chance of survival. Therefore, my uncle said that if you want to save Uncle Xue now, the only way to save Uncle Xue is Zhenyuan, who is deeply trusted by your Majesty. Lord Marquis, you have the power to try."
Aunt Xue was speechless for a long time, subconsciously glanced at the screen, and finally took a deep breath and said: "Thank you, your young master, for telling me to wait for this. News, please thank your young master for me. Now that our family has suffered this change, it is inconvenient to have guests, so please come back."
Aunt Xue, who was in a hurry to go to Rongguo Mansion, immediately sent someone to bring the Feng family home. After sending him away, he was given a red envelope. At this juncture, she was afraid of offending anyone and losing the hope of saving her son.
Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall.
Jia Mu ate some porridge and looked at Mrs. Wang below, "How is the situation with brother Xue?"
"If I go back to the old lady, things may be a little troublesome. , Lin Zhixiao just came back and said..."
Mrs. Wang gave a brief report to Jia Mu about the news they had obtained. Seeing that Mrs. Jia was silent for a long time after listening, Mrs. Wang felt a little worried.
You must know that the Xue family now lives next to the Jia family. The Xue family’s daughter even lives in the Jia family house. The main reason is because she, the second wife of the Jia family, is Mrs. Xue’s biological sister. Intimacy.
Now that Xue Pan is involved in a life-threatening lawsuit, it will naturally damage the reputation of the Jia family, and Mrs. Wang knows that Jia’s mother has always disliked fools like Xue Pan. It is conceivable that this will I know Jia Mu's attitude towards Xue Pan and even the Xue family. If she was offended because of this, she couldn't argue.
Fortunately, as long as Jia Baoyu is not involved, Jia's mother will take good care of herself. She did not blame Mrs. Wang for anything, but said in a deep voice: "Since you said that the Ministry of Punishment has intervened in this matter, I'm afraid things have become difficult.
In addition, your master and Lian'er are not in Beijing. , such a major criminal case is definitely not something that you and I, as female prostitutes, can control.
But after all, we are relatives, so where we can help, we will naturally help. What we can’t help, There is no way, everyone has his destiny."
Mrs. Wang has always been shrewd and has served Jia Mu for many years. Although it seemed that there was nothing wrong with Jia Mu's words, she immediately understood what Jia Mu really meant.
Mrs. Wang looked uncertain, and glanced around.He greeted the two maids to leave with a wink.
"Old lady, it's not that my daughter-in-law is unreasonable and prefers to help her sister and nephew. It's just that... my daughter-in-law just pities Bao Yatou. I have watched this child grow up. Regardless of her appearance or personality, she is always on top. The best choice.
Because Baoyu fell ill because of Lin Yatou’s incident, I’m afraid it’s still on my mind now. I just thought about setting up a good marriage for him as soon as possible. Come, let him calm down early and live up to the high expectations of the master in the future."
Jia Mu glanced at Mrs. Wang and hummed: "I know what you are thinking. If it had been before today, I don’t have any objections. Bao Yatou is indeed a rare good girl, with a good temperament, upright and polite.
How could such a good girl meet such a brother! Have you ever thought about it? If you let Baoyu marry Bao Yatou, and let Baoyu bear the reputation of a brother-in-law who is sued for his life in the future, how will others talk about him behind his back? If it affects his future, how will he realize your master's high hopes? "< br />
Mrs. Wang was shocked. Sure enough, Mrs. Jia was always thoughtful. She had been so eager to meet Sister Gu before, but she had forgotten about this incident.
Her eldest son died young, leaving only this precious seedling. As a mother, she naturally has to eliminate all unfavorable hidden dangers for him!
Jia Mu knew Mrs. Wang understood just by looking at her expression, so she didn’t say much and waved her hand: "Okay, you can go down. I'm afraid your sister will panic by now." God. If she comes, comfort her and comfort her. She doesn’t have to come to see me again late at night."
"Yes."
After saying that, she came from outside When it was said that Aunt Xue had arrived, Mrs. Wang said goodbye to Jia Mu and went to Rongxi Hall.
When she saw her sister coming out at the door of the small house where she was sitting, even though Mrs. Wang had already made up her mind, she still felt a little unbearable when she saw her sister's anxious face and red and swollen eyes. , and also called out emotionally: "Sister."
"Sister!"
Aunt Xue didn't care about being polite to Mrs. Wang, and immediately asked her what she had heard as soon as they met. All the news from the Feng family was told to Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang did not expect that there was a relationship between loyalty and obedience to the palace and even the emperor. Her heart sank, "If this is really the case, I'm afraid Pan'er..."
"Sister...?" Aunt Xue looked at Mrs. Wang with a pleading look.
At this juncture, the only thing Aunt Xue can count on is her sister who is the head wife of the Duke's Mansion. If even Mrs. Wang can't do anything, then she may have no choice but to sit back and wait for death.
Mrs. Wang sighed: "Your brother-in-law just left Beijing, I'm afraid he hasn't taken office yet.. Besides, even if your brother-in-law is promoted now, he will only be in the third rank of academic administration. If Pan'er's matter really alarms Shengting, I'm afraid your brother-in-law is powerless in Beijing.
For the current plan, he can only rely on his uncle. Let's do this. You and I will write another letter and inform the second brother in detail about the situation here to see if he can mediate it. "
Mrs. Wang's words are not wrong in Aunt Xue's opinion. She also knows that although Jia Zheng has been an official in the center for many years, he actually does not have many holy relatives. He can be promoted several levels this time. It’s all because of Yuanchun.
“My sister is right. But his uncle was far away at the border, so he was afraid that he would be out of reach, and Pan'er's affairs did not dare to be delayed. My sister also knows that, I am a failure like him, if he really sacrifices his life, how can I live from now on? So my sister thinks that she can’t ask the concubine in the palace to help save her cousin’s life..."
Yes, this is the real reason why Aunt Xue hurried to see Mrs. Wang. She It’s not that Wang Ziteng is unable to save Xue Pan, but he is worried that the distant water cannot quench his thirst.
But Yuanchun can! As a noble concubine, Yuanchun is in the palace, only one step away from the emperor.
>
In Aunt Xue’s view, if the real enemy brought this matter to the emperor, then looking at all the relatives and friends, only Yuanchun would be the most confident to save people.
But as her words fell, Mrs. Wang fell silent, and sighed for a while: "I'm afraid the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. "
"The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. When I heard it in Aunt Xue's ears, it was as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on my heart, and my heart suddenly became cold.
Baochai also raised his head and glanced at Mrs. Wang, lowered his head and said nothing.
Since ancient times, many dynasties have had ancestral precepts that harems are not allowed to interfere in politics, but there has never been a clear definition of what constitutes intervening in politics.< br />
Something happened to Xue Pan. Yuan Chun came forward to ask for a favor in front of the emperor. Helping to find out some information is considered intervening in politics? She is Xue Pan’s direct cousin!
Doesn’t it count as intervening in politics? Xue Pan Beating Qiu Pan to death is a major criminal case. There are three prosecutors to review it. How can there be any reason for the concubine to speak or intervene?
But no matter what, since Mrs. Wang said so, Aunt Xue will not The truth is, I dare not mention this again.
So Aunt Xue came and left at night.
Mrs. Wang personally sent Aunt Xue to the car and watched her off Her carriage and horses left.
In fact, she had not deliberately refused Aunt Xue’s proposal before, but she knew very well that Yuanchun today was not only her pride and reliance, but also the pride and pride of the entire Jia family. Pillars are definitely not used to wipe the butt of people like Xue Pan.reason.
Even if she wanted to, Jia Mu would not allow it.
Therefore, telling Yuan Chun about Xue Pan’s accident would be considered as the most benevolent thing. As for what Yuanchun will do, it all depends on Yuanchun herself. She will never ask Yuanchun to do more in the name of her mother.
After all, in her heart, Xue Pan is not one ten thousandth as good as her daughter, and she will never allow her daughter to offend Long Yan because of Xue Pan's evil deeds. How could she not know that it would be difficult for her daughter in the palace.
