Chapter 602 Faintness [Part 2]
But Xue Pan briefly recounted what happened at home, and couldn't wait to ask why Baoyu was arrested.
Although he usually complained about Baoyu, he was his cousin and future sister-in-law after all, and he still didn't want to see Baoyu suffer a big disaster.
Qiu Shi'an secretly sent someone to warn him, but he did so without betraying anyone, but Jiao Shun dared to tell Xue Pan that he was such a big talker?
At that moment, he shook his head repeatedly: "I also went to Rongguo Mansion early in the morning and learned that Brother Bao was taken away. Who knows why?"
After a pause, he added: "But I heard that Brother Bao came to the palace yesterday to express his gratitude, and it may have something to do with this."
"Entering the palace to express gratitude?"
Xue Pan frowned at first, and then exclaimed: "Is he teasing my mother in the palace..."
Jiao Shun covered his mouth and said angrily: "Are you afraid that he won't die? How dare you shout such nonsense?"
Xue Pan also knew that he had made a mistake. He chuckled twice, grabbed Jiao Shun and said: "Brother Jiao, you can't just sit idly by and ignore this matter. My mother and sister are worried about something at home. What if we really don't know for sure?"
Xin'er, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat or sleep!"
If it was just a superficial relationship, Jiao Shun would probably just brush it off.
But who made him become Aunt Xue’s guest?
Then he sighed and said, "Come on, I'll just go back with you."
With that said, he implored Shi Ding and others to escort the sedan chair slowly, while he whipped up his horse and whip and rushed to Xue Mansion first.
When he arrived, the Xue family was in perfect order inside and outside. Not long after Xue Pan left, Xue Baochai took off his red auspicious clothes, took off his phoenix and rosy crown, moved a chair and sat in the square outside the front hall door.
He calmly took care of the housework.
With her keeping him calm, the servants in the mansion gradually settled down.
When Xue Baochai saw Jiao Shun coming in dressed as a groom, Xue Baochai was a little confused for a moment, but she quickly woke up and stood up to greet Jiao Shun.
"I can't stay much longer!"
At this moment, Jiao Shun was not going to be polite to her. He went straight to the point and said, "Please invite Auntie here. I have a few words to say."
Looking back at Xue Pan behind him, he lowered his voice and said, "This is a serious matter, so I'm afraid it won't be inconvenient for Brother Xue to know."
When Xue Baochai heard this, he guessed that Jiao Shun must have found out the inside story. He immediately used Xia Jingui as an excuse to drive Xue Pan away, and then led Jiao Shun to find Aunt Xue in the backyard.
Aunt Xue was wiping tears in the room. When she saw Jiao Shun standing up in surprise, she subconsciously took two steps forward and reached out to pull her. When she glanced at her daughter from the corner of her eye, she realized something was wrong, but she didn't know how to end it.
Seeing this, Jiao Shun hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to support her, and said comfortingly: "Auntie, don't be alarmed, there should be room for improvement."
Aunt Xue was relieved of her embarrassment and hurriedly followed Jiao Shun's request to retreat.
Jiao Shun informed the mother and daughter about the emperor's drunken stroke, and added: "Now that the palace is in chaos, it may not be convenient to rely on relationships to acquit him in a hurry, and if it goes wrong, it will harm Brother Bao - in my opinion
See, it’s not too late to wait until things become clearer before trying again.”
"The Emperor is not even thirty years old, so why did he suddenly..."
When Aunt Xue heard that the emperor had suffered a stroke and was paralyzed, she immediately said with regret: "I don't think Yuanchun's child is also suffering a hard life. Now she has no son and a half under her knees. If the emperor really dies, what will she do in the future?"
?”
I don't know whether she is kind-hearted or big-hearted. She can still worry about Yuanchun at this time.
At this time, Xue Baochai on the side had also roughly digested the shocking news brought by Jiao Shun.
Unlike her mother, she was keenly aware that the one who really bore the brunt of this incident was not Jia Baoyu who had been arrested, but Jiao Shun who was unharmed in front of her.
After all, even without Jinshang, Rongguo Mansion would still be Rongguo Mansion. At most, without the help of relatives, it would be even more in decline than before.
But once Jiao Shun loses the protection of God, he is afraid that disaster will be imminent!
After thinking about this section, she naturally would not force anyone to make things difficult for her. She immediately followed Jiao Shun's wishes and said, "Since this is the case, it's really hard to act rashly - does the Rongguo Mansion also know about this?"
Inside story?"
"This has never happened."
Jiao Shun said: "I only got the exact news after I came out of Rongguo Mansion."
After a pause, he added: "I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for me to send someone over to deliver the message now, but it shouldn't be difficult to contact Rongguo Mansion in my aunt's name."
When Xue Baochai heard this, he hurriedly ordered people to fetch the Four Treasures of the Study, wrote down the information Jiao Shun had found out as simply as possible, sealed it with wax pills, and asked his confidants to hide it in his arms. He went to Rongguo Mansion in the name of asking how to deal with the marriage.
Signaling.
But it was said that at the same time the news reached Rongguo Mansion.
The story of Sun Shaozu looking at the door and leaving has already spread widely.
Others may not be willing to calmly analyze the specific differences between the marriages of Jiao Shi and Sun Jia. They only feel that compared to Mr. Jiao, Mr. Sun is really unsightly.
Of course, there were also those who secretly laughed at Jia She for bringing it upon himself.
But no one expected that Jia She, who had been huddled in the Dongkua Courtyard for the past two days, watching like an outsider, would suddenly make a move...
Hengwuyuan.
After Shi Xiangyun was picked up, Yingchun, the bride-to-be, naturally occupied the upper room of the main hall. There were a lot of discussions outside and people were panicking, but she was at ease in the boudoir, wishing that Sun Shaozu would never come back.
Unexpectedly, Sun Shaozu did not come, but the Xing family suddenly came to the door.
Originally, when they got married in the spring, Mrs. Xing, the nominal mother, should take charge of everything, but after Jia Mu asked Mrs. Wang to take charge, Jia She claimed that she was ill, and she also hid in the name of taking care of Jia She.
At this moment, Kou came suddenly. Everyone thought she had received the news and came to comfort Yingchun, so they hurriedly welcomed her into the inner room.
Who would have thought that when Mrs.
I guarantee that you will marry in style!"
With just this sentence, Yingchun, who was originally indifferent, suddenly widened her beautiful eyes, stood up and asked: "Master, what do you mean by this?! Are you going to sell me again?!"
Ms.
How could you find another good family..."
Although she secretly fell in love with Jiao Shun, she had no objection to selling this concubine to two families.
But before she could finish her words, Yingchun grabbed the grain box and smashed it over her face!
"Hey young!"
Ms.
She was so angry that she was about to jump up and yell, when she saw Yingchun picked up the scissors again, turned around and ran away with a yelp.
Seeing Yingchun's red eyes tightly clutching the scissors, and her breasts swelling as if they were going to explode, none of the servant girls dared to step forward. Finally, it was Lin Daiyu who came after hearing the news and persuaded her to throw away the scissors.
When she was about to say a few more words of advice, Yingchun turned her back and said coldly: "Sister, please go out first. I want to be quiet."
[By the way, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, install the latest version. 】
Lin Daiyu sighed when she saw this, and ordered the servants and maids to put away all the things that could be used as weapons, and then got up and went outside.
After Lin Daiyu left, Yingchun sat alone on the bed and stared blankly for a while, then suddenly raised her voice and ordered: "Send in the Four Treasures of the Study."
Xiuju brought the things in, but before she could say anything, she pushed her out again.
After driving away Xiuji, Yingchun gritted his teeth and grinded the ink, picked up the brush like a knife, penetrated the back of the paper and wrote a line of words, then folded it in half a few times and put it into his sleeve, pushed the door open and walked out.
"girl?"
"Second girl."
"Second sister?"
She turned a deaf ear to everyone's greetings and quickly walked out of the main room, then suddenly turned around and shouted to the people who were about to follow her: "I'm going outside to relax, no one should follow me!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked a few steps towards the courtyard door. Then he suddenly turned around and looked at everyone. When he saw that no one was leaving the house, he quickly left.
After she left Hengwuyuan, she walked directly out of the Grand View Garden and headed to the front yard without stopping for a moment.
It wasn't until she reached the front yard that she slowed down and looked around for the target while trying not to attract the attention of outsiders.
Finally, she stopped in front of the Neiyi Gate. In order to facilitate the interrogation of relevant persons, the Dragon Guards temporarily commandeered the flower hall next to the Neiyi Gate. At this time, in front of the flower hall, a group of officers and soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition were standing guard.
Jia Yingchun took out the piece of paper from his sleeve, looked at the officers and soldiers of the Dragon Guard in the distance, gritted his silver teeth, and started walking in that direction.
At this moment, a person suddenly rushed out and snatched the note!
Jia Yingchun was startled, and when she looked closely, it turned out to be Lin Daiyu.
Others may not dare to disobey the order she gave just now, but Lin Daiyu was afraid that she would not be able to think clearly, so she followed behind secretly.
When she saw her holding the note and walking toward the Dragon Guard with a determined look on her face, Daiyu instinctively felt that there was something wrong with this, so she grabbed the note.
"what you do?!"
When Yingchun saw it was Daiyu, she stretched out her hand to snatch the note back.
Daiyu knew that she might not be able to compete with her, so she turned around quickly, pressed her back against her, opened the note and said, "Let me see what's written on it."
After just one glance, Lin Daiyu cried out in shock: "Second sister, are you crazy?!"
"Leave me alone!"
Yingchun shouted loudly, and tried to grab it a few times without success, so she simply stopped grabbing it and said through gritted teeth: "With or without it, I can still report it to the official!"
With that said, he turned around and walked towards the direction of the Dragon Guard.
Lin Daiyu didn't care much, rushed to hug her, and said excitedly: "Second sister, please calm down, you must never do this!"
"Let me go, let me go quickly!"
The two yelled and made a fuss, and soon alerted the Dragon Guards outside the flower hall door. Two of the Dragon Guards walked towards this side with their guns drawn, but they saw that they were two young ladies from wealthy families.
He stopped two feet away and asked in a loud voice: "What do you do?"
Lin Daiyu covered Yingchun's mouth without even thinking about it.
But her figure was a little different from that of Yingchun. She moved one hand to cover her mouth, inevitably focusing on one thing and not the other.
Seeing that Yingchun was about to break free from her restraints, Jia Tanchun suddenly appeared from diagonally below. Without saying a word, she grabbed Yingchun and walked out. She said: "Second sister, come back with us first. If anything happens, don't worry."
Easy to discuss!”
Tanchun's strength was the best among the sisters, and together with Lin Daiyu, she quickly controlled Yingchun.
But the two dragon guards refused to just watch them leave. They took a few steps forward, held up their guns and shouted again: "What's going on? Please explain clearly before leaving!"
Lin Daiyu secretly cried out.
He looked out but did not panic. He raised his eyebrows and scolded in turn: "Thank you for having the nerve to ask! Today was my second sister's big day, but you have messed it up so much that even the groom's official
He ran away - if I were the second sister, I would have to come to settle accounts with you!"
The two dragon guards saw that she was so angry and what she said was reasonable, so they didn't dare to ask any more questions.
At this time, several more servants and maids arrived after hearing the news. Under Tanchun's orders, they carried Yingchun away with all their hands and feet.
Seeing that she was far away, Lin Daiyu wiped the sweat from her forehead and gasped slightly: "Thankfully, the third sister came in time - by the way, how did you come by such a coincidence?"
"I was sitting uneasily in the Rongxi Hall. I just wanted to see if the Dragon Guards had finished their interrogation. Who knows..." Tan Chun said halfway, then waved his hands and said, "Don't talk about this, what happened just now?"
What is the matter? What is the second sister doing with those Dragon Guards?!"
Lin Daiyu immediately became serious, looked around and saw that there was no one around, and then showed the note to Tanchun Guan.
Tan Chun took it curiously and only took a look at it. His expression suddenly changed. He grabbed Lin Daiyu excitedly and said, "This, this is written by the second sister?!"
Lin Daiyu nodded slightly, smiled bitterly, and told what happened in Hengwu Courtyard, and sighed: "Second sister is also anxious, distressed, and resentful, so she acted like this."
"Even so, she can't..."
Tan Chun stamped his feet repeatedly and said angrily: "Now the emperor's life and death are uncertain. If this matter is revealed, I'm afraid everyone in the family will die without a burial place!"
As she said that, she couldn't help but look down at the note, only to see it clearly written on it: Jia She secretly practiced witchcraft.
Just these few words sent a chill to Tan Chun's bones.
Because Mrs. Wang is now ill and unable to take charge of the affairs, she, the housekeeper, was also allowed to read the Xue family's wax pill biography.
This time, the emperor suddenly suffered a stroke. Although Jia Baoyu was implicated, there was no real charge, and there was still a lot of room for change. But if the witchcraft incident was revealed, then Baoyu's suspicion of regicide would be equivalent to being confirmed.
Got it!
By then, the entire Rongguo Mansion will probably be buried with Yingchun and Baoyu!
Thinking of this, Tan Chun held Lin Daiyu's catkins with his backhand and said excitedly: "Sister saved the lives of my whole family. I will definitely repay you generously in the future!"
"What are you talking about?"
Lin Daiyu was a little uncomfortable with her enthusiasm - after all, there was a visible gap between Tanchun and her a while ago - but she couldn't break away from Tanchun's hand, so she could only say with a pretty face: "Besides, the matter is not over yet -
If this is a lie, then that’s fine. If it’s true, think about it, the second sister only needs to go there occasionally and she’ll know... Hey, you!”
Before she could finish speaking, Tanchun's hand tightened suddenly, causing her to cry out in pain.
Hearing the cry of pain, Tanchun was shocked and lost his composure. He quickly let go of Lin Daiyu's hand, frowned and paced back and forth a few times, gritted his teeth and said: "Sister is right, this matter must be settled as soon as possible.
Chapter completed!
