Outside the gate of Xue Mansion.

Mrs. Wang had been patronizing her son earlier. When she saw the gilded plaque of the Xue family through the gap in the car window, she suddenly remembered the issue of 'equal treatment'.

Although she was quite embarrassed, she couldn't help but wonder suddenly, secretly wondering if the Xue family had gotten the news in advance, so...

Although she could not be called extremely intelligent, she was by no means a fool. She had not thought about it before, mainly because she subconsciously felt that the interests of the Xue family were consistent with hers, and there was no reason to harm Baoyu.

Now that I have broken my habitual thinking, the more I think about it, the more I feel that the Xue family, especially Xue Pan, is the most suspicious.

She couldn't help biting her silver teeth secretly, thinking about trying a few words before meeting her sister. If it was indeed Wen Long who did it, then...

So what, she couldn't decide for the moment.

After all, no matter how you look at this matter, the Rongguo Mansion is in the wrong, and in order to avoid causing serious trouble, it must not be made public.

Anyway, let’s find out if it’s the Xue family first!

at the same time.

In the back house of the Xue family, when she heard that Mrs. Wang suddenly came to the door, Aunt Xue subconsciously wanted to greet her, but Xue Baochai grabbed her with quick hands and eyes. She stepped back and asked, "Mom, how are you going to see your aunt?"

Aunt Xue replied without thinking: "What else can I do? Of course I have to ask her in person what her attitude is towards Miss Lin!"

"Mom, please don't be reckless!"

This was what Xue Baochai was worried about, and he hurriedly advised: "With Sister Lin's temperament, it is still uncertain whether she will agree to it, not to mention the long distance to Suzhou... If this matter comes to pass, you must tell us;

If it doesn’t work, why bother?”

After saying that, he took his mother's arm and warned: "When you see my aunt, you will act as if you don't know anything. What happened in the past will be the same now."

"But……"

"Mom, just listen to me!"

As soon as Baochai's attitude became tougher, Aunt Xue, who had never had any opinion, reluctantly agreed.

So when I met Mrs. Wang, she not only didn't take the initiative to mention the matter, but also didn't reveal many flaws when Mrs. Wang deliberately put away Baochai and tested her in a roundabout way.

When Mrs. Wang saw that she really didn't know, she gradually relaxed her vigilance, secretly thinking that this girl of hers had never been able to hide things, and now that she didn't know anything after asking three questions, she probably really didn't know.

However, little did she know that Aunt Xue had gone through a lot of practice in the past six months to cover up her affair with Jiao Shun.

However, after letting down her guard, Mrs. Wang informed Aunt Xue about the 'dead dog' incident and said angrily: "You didn't see it. Everyone in Yihong Courtyard was scared to death at that time. Baoyu was a little better."

, but it still alarmed the doctor!"

Her words were clearly meant to put gold on Baoyu's face, but how could anyone who knew Jia Baoyu to a certain extent believe such nonsense?

But Aunt Xue couldn't care less about these minutiae at this time. It was because there were more palaces recently, she was about to jump up and scream out in surprise just now!

She knew this without asking, it must have been done by Xue Pan!

In the past ten days, seeing that Xue Wenlong was living well and not mentioning the matter of "equal equality", she gradually relaxed her restraints. Unexpectedly, in just two days, this evil obstacle had brought trouble to the family!

Although she was shocked and frightened, Aunt Xue couldn't help but secretly rejoice that her daughter had made an explanation in advance. Otherwise, if she had followed her original intention and launched an attack as soon as they met, her sister would have been suspicious of Wen Long!

Now that the mistake has been concealed and concealed, the success must not be undone.

Thinking of this, Aunt Xue took a deep breath and asked, half guilty and half sincere: "Is Baoyu okay? What did the doctor say?"

"It's nothing serious, just let it take a while to recover."

Mrs. Wang waved her hand, and Yang Zuo said nonchalantly: "It just so happens that brother Shun asked him to resume his post as engineering and academic officer a while ago. Once he regains his energy, it's time to go to work in the Yamen."

This is another statement that is so false that it can no longer be false.

There was no way, what her son had done recently was really too much to hold up, so she couldn't tell the truth in front of her 'in-law' mother?

Applying gold to Baoyu's face was a forced and helpless move.

"That's good, that's good."

Fortunately, Aunt Xue didn't have the time to study this in detail. She patted her chest and pretended to be relieved, and then asked, "Have you ever found out who did it?"

"That's what I'm here for!"

As soon as the culprit was mentioned, Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth with hatred: "I have entrusted this matter to Brother Shun. When I find out who it is, I will not let it go!"

When Aunt Xue heard this, she felt at ease. She secretly thought that it would be troublesome for someone else to investigate, but since Chang Qing was in charge of the matter, it would be convenient to turn things around.

Just as he was thinking about it, after Mrs. Wang left, he would send out a secret signal and invite Jiao Shun to come to the house to discuss countermeasures. Suddenly, he heard Mrs. Wang change the subject and say in an ambiguous tone: "I have made an appointment with him to come over for a detailed discussion in the evening, sister."

At that time, you should come forward and beat the drum for me."

…………

Just when the two sisters had the same idea, Xue Baochai, who returned to the study room in the small courtyard, was restless. On the one hand, she was worried that her mother had leaked the news, so she started arguing with her aunt on the spot; on the other hand, she felt depressed and dissatisfied because her family could only compromise.

.

After all, no matter how powerful and calm she is, she is still just a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old.

Baochai took a deep breath and tried her best to suppress all the thoughts in her mind. Baochai was about to use a book to divert her attention, or continue to write the 'Husband Taming Book' - Compared with the previous version that focused on husband-husband and child-raising, the current version

It's obviously a lot more extreme.

But before she could decide what to do, she suddenly heard Ying'er say outside the door: "Girl, the Second Master has sent someone, saying he wants you to come over right away."

"Um?"

Baochai couldn't help but let out a soft 'eh' after hearing this.

The 'second master' here refers to Xue Biao, and my cousin has always been the most observant of etiquette. If there is something urgent in the middle of the night, I should ask myself to meet my aunt or Bao Qin.

.

Now he suddenly said that he wanted to go to his place immediately...

Baochai stepped outside and looked at the maid sent by Xue Biao to deliver the message: "Do you know the reason?"

"Go back to the big girl."

The maid hurriedly bowed and said: "I don't know what happened specifically, but it's probably because of the uncle - just now the uncle came to our master and didn't know what he said, so our master quietly asked me to look for the eldest girl.

"

Hearing that it was related to Xue Pan, Xue Baochai didn't hesitate anymore and hurriedly led Ying'er to the second room.

From a distance, he saw Xue Pan and Xue Pan drinking together in the living room of the main hall. Xue Baochai walked in without thinking, took the wine glass from Xue Pan's hand with a sullen face, and then stared at him silently.

"Sister, why are you here?"

Xue Pan stood up from the chair and immediately thought of something, turned around and glared at Xue Pan.

Xue Biao was not afraid of him, and immediately stood up and said calmly: "I don't know why, but my eldest brother suddenly came to me and asked me to take care of my aunt and sister. In his words, he also revealed that he was about to leave for a long distance.

Meaning - I saw that the situation was not right, so I quickly ordered people to invite my sister."

After saying that, he cupped his hands to the two of them and said: "Brother and sister will chat first, while I go outside to deal with some private matters."

Then he ran away without looking back.

When Xue Pan saw this, he was secretly cursing the wrong person he had entrusted, when he suddenly heard Xue Baochai ask: "Does brother think that if he leaves, aunt will not pursue him?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Pan was stunned for a moment, and then said dejectedly: "So, aunt is really here to ask for punishment?"

Then he scratched his head and wondered: "What is the mistake? I obviously found two strangers to deliver the things, and after delivering them, I sent them back to my hometown in Jinling."

"What did you give? And how did you give it?!"

Xue Baochai continued to ask with a cold face.

"Just a dead dog."

Xue Pan gestured and said: "Put it in a box and put some spices to cover the smell..."

Halfway through, I suddenly felt something was wrong: "What? Didn't aunt tell you?"

Xue Baochai naturally guessed it.

Xue Pan stayed away early and late, but Mrs. Wang had to fly away as soon as she arrived, and even rushed to entrust her mother and sister to Xue Pan. If there was nothing fishy in this, it would be really a ghost.

"As soon as my aunt came in, she pushed me away!"

Baochai gritted his silver teeth and said uneasily: "Whether we are going to launch an investigation or not, we still don't know yet - brother, please explain the matter carefully to see where the mistake is, and then see if we can try to make up for it!"

After hearing what his sister said, Xue Pan hurriedly explained in detail how he prepared and how he executed it.

When Xue Baochai heard that he had misappropriated the surname "Lin", he became very angry: "Brother is really stupid! It would be better if we don't use the word 'Lin', but if we use it, how can a discerning person not be suspicious of us?"

!”

"Is it because this leaked the filling?"

Xue Pan was shocked: "I thought I could frame the Lin family and mess up the affairs of Ping's wife!"

Xue Baochai didn't know what to say, so she gave him a hard look and warned: "Brother is here, don't go anywhere, wait until I ask him clearly!"

After saying that, he went outside and asked Xue Biao to take care of it, and then turned to Aunt Xue's courtyard.

When she arrived at the main courtyard, she did not rush in. Instead, she asked the maid next to Aunt Xue to communicate with Aunt Xue over the opportunity of serving tea.

After learning that the matter had been covered up, Xue Baochai breathed a sigh of relief.

If there is any disagreement, she is already prepared to use the "equal wife" incident to pay off her son in person - but then, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will be difficult in the future.

Just as he was about to leave, the sound of footsteps walking out was heard from inside.

Xue Baochai hurriedly hid in the dark, watched Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang leave the courtyard, and then appeared again.

Guessing that Aunt Xue was probably sending Mrs. Wang off to rest somewhere, she casually asked, "Where will Aunt Xue stay at night?"

"Just the small courtyard on the northeast corner."

The small courtyard in the northeast corner?

That's not...

Xue Baochai was taken aback and blurted out: "Why are they arranged there?"

The maid who answered did not doubt that he was there, and immediately said with a smile: "Young girl, you don't know that my concubine likes peace and quiet the most. She chose the Qingtang thatched cottage in the Grand View Garden, and it is no exception when she comes to our house. She has always lived in the small one in the northeast corner.

In the courtyard.”

This reason makes sense.

Not to mention what happened to my aunt, no matter how misbehaved my mother was, she would never be with her biological sister...

…………

The small courtyard in the northeast corner.

Jiao Shun had a distinguished mature woman sitting on each leg. He was looking around contentedly when he suddenly felt a pinch on his left waist.

His mind was spinning, and he immediately lifted up Mrs. Wang on her right leg, slapped her behind her gently, and ordered: "Why don't you make the bed and fold the quilt for me, Master!"

Mrs. Wang was not upset at all. She agreed very cooperatively and went back to work in the inner room without mentioning anything.

After she left, Jiao Shun pretended to have sex with Aunt Xue and asked quietly: "What's wrong?"

Naturally, Aunt Xue would not hide anything from him, and immediately told the cause and effect of the matter.

When Jiao Shun saw that his speculation had come true, he shook his head and pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Both of them are my pretenders, and their palms and backs are all flesh, but they really put me in a difficult position."

On normal days, Aunt Xue would probably yell at him sweetly.

But now, for the sake of his son, he didn't care about that many things. He said hurriedly: "His father died early, so now he will naturally ask you to take more care of him - besides, Baoyu is no different."

When Jiao Shun saw that she recognized the 'fake father', he immediately laughed and said: "I was joking just now. In fact, I had already guessed that it was Wen Long's handiwork, but I never announced it in front of the Wang family."

As he said that, he bit Aunt Xue's earlobe and said, "We are in love with each other. She just made a baby at the right time. I will never be biased towards her."

Aunt Xue's body was so soft that she felt uncomfortable, but also felt a little sorry for her sister.

But then I thought about what Baoyu had done, and I felt at ease, and I couldn't help complaining: "If Baoyu and the old lady hadn't messed up, how could things have been like this?"

"You can rest assured about this."

Jiao Shun said casually: "Sister Lin's matter is nothing to worry about. You can just leave it to me - I will keep it when Baochai is married!"

Aunt Xue was happy at first, and then shocked. She reached out and grabbed Jiao Shun's collar tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "You can't kill people and steal goods. Besides, that girl Lin is also a poor person..."

"Where did you think you were!"

Jiao Shun couldn't laugh or cry, and hurriedly expressed his sympathy for Daiyu's suffering, and told the story of Sister Lin's experiences over the years, excluding the part about repaying the kindness with his own body. Aunt Xue's eyes were filled with tears as she listened, and she became more and more worried about Rong Guofu.

Not angry.

So he blurted out: "If I had known there was such an inside story, I wouldn't have let Baochai get involved at all."

"What's the secret? Who wants to get involved?"

At this time, Mrs. Wang lifted the curtain and came out. She saw Aunt Xue nestling in Jiao Shun's arms with tears in her eyes. She was half envious and half ridiculed: "Young man, how come there are gold beads falling on it?"
