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.
"Little Feng Sheng, I have met Mrs. Xue."
"No need to be polite, your eldest son sent you here for something important?"
"To get back to Madam, our uncle asked me to come because he really has important news to convey to Madam."
"Say it 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, only one person can be invited to come forward to be able to reverse the situation."
"who is it?"
"It must be the Marquis of Zhenyuan!"
When Aunt Xue heard this, she felt that the other party was talking nonsense. Not to mention Jia Lian, even if her brother-in-law Jia Zheng was at home, they would not be so panicked.
"Why?"
"My uncle said that 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.
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 Heaven about his son’s death.”
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 in her chair. Apparently 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 now. If you listen to the enemy's words, I am afraid that Uncle Xue will have no chance of survival. Therefore, my uncle said that if you want to save Uncle Xue now, only the Marquis of Zhenyuan, who is deeply trusted by Your Majesty, can have the chance to try.
.”
Aunt Xue was silent for a long time, subconsciously glanced at the screen, and finally took a deep breath and said: "Thank you very much, your young master, for informing me of this news, and thank you for me. Now that our family has suffered this change, it is also
It’s inconvenient to have guests here, so please come back.”
Aunt Xue, who was in a hurry to go to Rongguo Mansion, immediately sent someone to send the Feng family away, and then had someone seal 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. Just now Lin Zhixiao came back and said..."
Mrs. Wang gave a general report to Jia Mu about the news they had obtained. After seeing Jia Mu, she was silent for a long time, Mrs. Wang felt a little worried.
You must know that the Xue family now lives next to the Jia family, and the Xue family's daughter even lives in the Jia family house. The main reason is because of the close relationship that she, the second wife of the Jia family, is the biological sister of Mrs. Xue family.
Now that Xue Pan is involved in another life-threatening lawsuit, the reputation of the Jia family will naturally be damaged, and Mrs. Wang knows that Jia Mu has always disliked fools like Xue Pan. From this, one can imagine Jia Mu's feelings for Xue Pan and even Xue Pan.
She couldn't argue with her family's attitude if she was angered by it.
Fortunately, as long as Jia Baoyu was not involved, Jia's mother took 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 to resolve.
In addition, both your master and Lian'er are not in Beijing, and such a major criminal case is definitely not something that you and I, the female class, can control.
But after all, we are relatives, and we will naturally help where we can. If we can’t help, there is nothing we can do. 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's face was filled with uncertainty. She glanced around and saw Yuanyang telling the two maids to leave.
"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 since she was a child. No matter her appearance or personality, she is the best choice.
Because Baoyu got sick because of Lin Yatou's incident, I'm afraid it's still on my mind now. I just thought that I would make a good marriage for him as soon as possible, so that he could calm down early and live up to his expectations in the future.
My high hopes."
Jia Mu glanced at Mrs. Wang and hummed: "I know what you are thinking. If it were before today, I would have no objection. Bao Yatou is indeed a rare good girl, with a good temperament, uprightness and courtesy.
How could such a good girl meet such a real brother! Have you ever thought about how if you let Baoyu marry Baoyu, Baoyu will have the reputation of a brother-in-law who is sued for life, and how others will talk behind his back?
He? If it affects his future, how can he realize your master's high hopes?"
Mrs. Wang was shocked. Sure enough, Mrs. Jia was always thoughtful. She had been so eager to see 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 had to eliminate all disadvantageous risks for him!
Just looking at Mrs. Wang's expression, Jia Mu knew that she understood, so she didn't say much, waved her hand and said: "Okay, you can go down. I'm afraid your sister will panic by now. If she comes, you can
Comfort her well, and there is no need to come to see me again late at night."
"yes."
After saying this, word came from outside that Aunt Xue had arrived, so Mrs. Wang said goodbye to Jia Mu and went to Rongxi Hall.
When she saw her younger sister coming out of the door of the small house where she was sitting, even though Mrs. Wang had already made up her mind, she still couldn't bear it when she saw her younger sister's anxious face and red and swollen eyes, and she called out emotionally: "
younger sister."
"elder sister!"
Aunt Xue didn't care about being polite to Mrs. Wang. As soon as they met, she immediately told Mrs. Wang all the news she had learned and from the Feng family.
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 pleadingly.
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 has just left Beijing, and I'm afraid he hasn't taken up his post yet. Besides, even if your brother-in-law is promoted now, he is only a third-rank scholar in politics. If Pan'er's matter really alarms the saints, I'm afraid your brother-in-law
There is nothing we can do in Beijing.
For the current plan, we 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 were not wrong in Aunt Xue's opinion. She also knew that although Jia Zheng had been an official in the Central Committee for many years, he actually did not have many holy relatives. He was able to advance to several levels this time because of Yuan Chun's credit.
"Sister is right. It's just that his uncle is far away at the border, so he's just out of reach, and Pan'er's matter doesn't dare to be delayed. Sister also knows that, and he's such an unlucky person. If he really sacrifices his life,
How can I live from now on? So my sister thinks that she cannot ask the concubine in the palace to help her and save her cousin’s life..."
Yes, this is the real reason why Aunt Xue hurriedly came to see Mrs. Wang. She did not doubt that Wang Ziteng was unable to save Xue Pan, but she was worried that the distant water could not quench the near thirst.
But Yuanchun can! As a noble concubine and in the palace, Yuanchun is only one step away from the emperor.
In Aunt Xue's view, if the real enemy brought this matter to the emperor, then among all the relatives and friends, only Yuanchun would be the most confident to save her.
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."
Aunt Xue heard the sentence "The harem must not interfere with politics", as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on her heart, and her heart suddenly became cold.
Baochai, who had been unknown next to her, 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.
Something happened to Xue Pan, and Yuan Chun came forward to ask for a favor in front of the emperor. Helping to find out some information is considered to be involved in politics? She is Xue Pan's first cousin!
Doesn’t that count as intervening in politics? Xue Pan beat Qiu Pan to death. This was a major criminal case, and it had its own three divisions to review it. How could the concubine have any reason to intervene?
But no matter what, since Mrs. Wang said so, Aunt Xue has no reason and dare not mention it again.
So Aunt Xue came and left at night.
Mrs. Wang personally escorted Aunt Xue to the car and watched her carriage leave.
In fact, she did not intentionally reject Aunt Xue's proposal before, but she knew very well that Yuanchun was not only her pride and reliance, but also the pride and pillar of the entire Jia family. She would never use it to wipe the butt of someone 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 an act of kindness. As for what Yuan Chun will do, it all depends on Yuan Chun. She will never ask Yuan Chun 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. She will never allow her daughter to offend Long Yan because of Xue Pan's evil deeds. How could she not know that it is difficult for her daughter to be in the palace.
