On the second day, the four princes and eight princes went to Zhezi together. This time, the Supreme Emperor still did not see them, but only gave them a few words to let them do their own thing.
After paying the little eunuch who sent the message some money, I found out that the Emperor was worried about a group of imperial doctors and had something to do, so he had no time to pay attention to them.
Suddenly, most of the energy gathered by the four princes and eight princes was lost.
Without the protection of the Supreme Emperor, they have no idea how long they can survive.
At this time, even those who wanted to repay the money they owed were very disappointed.
No one said anything more and everyone went home to think about it.
On the Jia family side, Xue Baochai knew that something was going on when Wang Xifeng wanted to see him. If there was nothing wrong, Wang Xifeng would not want to see him alone.
After questioning Xiang Ling carefully, no information was obtained except that Xue Yan was also in Wang Xifeng's yard at that time.
Could this matter have something to do with the Lin family?
When Xue Baochai made a guess, he immediately became concerned. There were not many opportunities to make friends with the Lin family.
Turning around, I thought of the Jia family again. Who would have thought that the majestic Duke's mansion would fall into this situation? In fact, they should have thought of it a long time ago. The title of the mansion is Jia She's first-class general, and the second bedroom has nothing.
, when Jia Zheng was at his highest, he was just a fifth-rank official with no real power.
It was just that the Xue family was dazzled by the Jia family's wealth and seduced by Mrs. Wang's words, so they fell into the Jia family's trouble.
Even if the true face of the Jia family is clearly seen, the Xue family can only go to the dark side. Not to mention that she and Jia Baoyu have been engaged, but to say that the Xue family has lent so much money to the Jia family, so that the Xue family
Can't get away.
The business of the Xue family is not what it used to be, and Xue Pan is not a person who can support the family. If he falls out with the Jia family, it will not be easy to explain to the Wang family. A fall out between the Jia and Xue families will also have a great impact on the Wang family.
Wang Ziteng will definitely not support this influence.
The Xue family had no choice but to find a way out through the cracks.
"Sister Feng, why did you ask Xiangling to call me here?"
Xue Baochai's words made Wang Xifeng wary. This cousin had always called her Feng Yatou. It was precisely because of this title that Wang Xifeng did not like to see Xue Baochai. In any case, Wang Xifeng was Xue Baochai's cousin, Feng Yatou.
The title should not come out of Xue Baochai's mouth.
To be on guard, Wang Xifeng still wants to reveal her purpose. Xue Baochai is very shrewd. If she doesn't tell him this time, she will be even more suspicious. It will not be that easy to get someone from her again.
Of course Wang Xifeng would not tell the Lin family directly, but would make excuses about other families.
Xue Baochai listened very carefully. She couldn't tell anything on her face, but she had other concerns in her heart. She was sure that except for the family compiled by Wang Xifeng, everything else should be true. The reason why she could read it so easily
When problems arise, I take advantage of the opportunity of helping the Jia family housekeeper and write them down.
The family that Wang Xifeng mentioned did not have a close relationship with the Jia family, nor did they have much contact. If Xiangling really had a relationship with her family, they would not be so polite and specifically blame Wang Xifeng.
"I'm happy for Xiangling that she can find her mother. But I'm afraid things are different from what you said. Is Xiangling's mother the old lady brought by Xueyan?"
Wang Xifeng's face changed slightly, remembering the scene when Lady Zhen cried when she saw Xiang Ling. However, even if the Xue family guessed, so what, she could still convince Xue Baochai.
"Since my sister has guessed it, I won't hide it from her. Xiangling's father is from Suzhou and is from the same hometown as Sister Lin. Madam Zhen spent all her family wealth to find out Xiangling's whereabouts, but she didn't know whose house she was in.
After being introduced, I went to the Lin family. Sister Lin was soft-hearted and agreed to help inquire. In order to repay Sister Lin, Mrs. Zhen worked in the Lin family. That day at my place, I met Xiangling by chance, and she felt very much like her daughter.
She asked about Xiangling's life experience. Then she knelt on the ground and begged me. I couldn't bear her pleading, so I had to agree. My sister, why don't I have some adult beauty and reunite them as mother and daughter."
Xue Baochai was silent. This time, there was no flaw in Wang Xifeng's words. They were both from aristocratic families in Gusu, so it was not difficult to understand that Madam Zhen begged the Lin family. But it was in line with her plan.
Coming in and out. Handing over Xiangling would not be of any benefit to the Xue family.
If you wait a little longer, will the Lin family step in for Lady Zhen?
Xue Baochai kept thinking about the possibility, but did not agree immediately.
"My brother is very fond of Xiang Ling. If Xiang Ling is allowed to redeem himself, I'm afraid my brother will cause trouble."
Wang Xifeng could not guess what Xue Baochai was thinking, but she would never give up on this favor from the Lin family. How to convince her cousin, Wang Xifeng thought of the Zhen family. Anyway, they were all surnamed Zhen, and they were still the same family five hundred years ago, so they borrowed the name of the Zhen family
Reputation is not a big deal.
"I have a guess in my mind. Xiangling's real surname is Zhen, and Gusu is close to Jinling. I wonder if her family has any relationship with our old relatives, the Zhen family. If she is really a branch of the Zhen family, we won't be able to explain it to others.
"
Xue Baochai's expression changed. Others didn't know the power of the Zhen family. How could she not know that she came from Jinling? If Xiangling was really a branch of the Zhen family, it would be difficult to explain. Even if the Zhen family didn't care about Zhen Shiyin,
Even if they are one, they will not allow their own clansmen to work as maids and roommates for the Xue family.
Wang Xifeng kept staring at Xue Baochai. Naturally, she couldn't hide the change on her face. She was immediately overjoyed. It would be really great if she could use the Zhen family's name to accomplish this matter. Even if the Xue family went there
Xin asked the Zhen family and Wang Xifeng was not afraid. After all, this was her guess.
"Sister, Xiangling is just a pretty girl. There is no shortage of such people in your family. At worst, we can just find a few more beautiful girls for Pandi. The Zhen family is an old relative of our family. If Mrs. Zhen
I wrote to the Zhen family for help. Our faces are all ugly. According to my opinion, you should just let Xiang Ling go and reunite their mother and daughter. Another point is that since Mrs. Zhen can ask for help from the Lin family, it means that she
The Lin family can also have some connections. Is it worth offending the Zhen family and the Lin family for a girl like Xiang Ling?"
Xue Baochai was in a state of confusion for a while. Xiangling was also implicated in Xue Pan's life. If he was released, wouldn't it cause trouble for their family?
"If Madam Zhen goes to the Yamen to file a complaint, what will we do?"
"What's wrong with my sister? Let's reunite her mother and daughter. It's too late for her to thank us, so why would she go to the Yamen to sue us? Besides, she also has to think about Xiangling's reputation. Madam Zhen has been looking for Xiangling for so many years.
, how could we ignore Xiangling's reputation? On the contrary, if we don't let her mother and daughter reunite, then we can let her complain to the Yamen. My sister also knows the situation at home. If Zhen makes trouble in the Yamen, it will be very harmful to our family.
unfavorable."
Xue Baochai sighed and said: "Sister is right, it's good to wait until I go back and discuss it with my mother before making a decision."
"That's fine. It's best to complete this matter privately, so as not to damage Xiangling's reputation. We have done a good thing, and you should also advise aunt not to cause trouble again because of a girl."
Xue Baochai came confidently, but was a little embarrassed when she left.
Wang Xifeng looked at her leaving back and said, "Little girl, you still want to take food from my mouth."
