159. Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Nine

"Old lady, the second lady took her concubine and Miss Bao outside, saying that there was something important to see the old lady." Amber entered the door and spread it, interrupting the narration between Shi and her two granddaughters.

Shi was stunned and looked at Xiao Zhang next to him. Wang and Aunt Xue came to disturb her even though they knew that she was not convenient to see the guests now. It seemed that there was something urgent.

"Please." Even if you don't give your face to Wang, this bad wife, for Aunt Xue's identity as the mistress of the Xue family, Shi had to give her three points of shame.

"Old lady! Please save my Pan'er for the sake of our Jia and Xue families for generations!" As soon as we entered the door, we couldn't help crying. The Shi family, Xiao Zhang family, Yi Yu, and Daiyu sisters were all jumped.

After all, he is a great wife who is used to seeing the world. Xiao Zhang quickly came back to his senses and advised: "Miss, don't rush to cry first, please calm down and talk about it!"

Shi also calmed down and comforted Aunt Xue and said, "Miss, don't cry, please tell me if you have something to do. What happened? So that my old man can make a long-term plan." He did not say help or did not help.

"Pan'er...Pan'er..." Aunt Xue spoke intermittently in panic, and she couldn't speak.

"Mom! Calm down and speak well! If you can't speak clearly, how can the old lady help us rescue our brother!" At the critical moment, Xue Baochai was still angry.

A hint of admiration and pity flashed in Shi's eyes.

This Xue family girl is steady and generous, and she is good at managing her family and is quite scheming. In fact, she is not as good as her except Shan'er. It's a pity that she is low-key and is just the daughter of a businessman. She has too little vision and thinks that she can help her, the old lady of the Jia family, with a confused brother and mother at home. She has a lot of trouble and is too small. In the future, she will be the wife of a small official.

On the contrary, Wang's eyes were full of love and gratitude.

She planned to let Baoyu marry Baochai. Baochai was her niece, and she would naturally stand with her after entering the door. Moreover, Baochai herself restrained herself and acted generously, which was very popular with her. In addition, Baochai was the daughter of the Xue family of the imperial merchant, so her dowry would be generous in the future, so she no longer had to worry about Baoyu's future life.

After hearing what his daughter said, Aunt Xue seemed to have a backbone. After calming down for a moment, she said hurriedly: "So that the old lady knew that my son accidentally bumped into Princess Mingzhu on the street. She wanted to ask the princess to put him on the face of the third master in the mansion, but she did not expect that the princess was imprisoned in the prison of Shuntian Mansion in the name of pretending to be the champion Hou family and cheating him!" After changing the order of the matter for a while, and then beautifying it, things became completely different.

"Oh? Did the concubine send someone to Shuntian Prefecture Office for inquiries?" Shi asked patiently when he heard this.

Wang said worriedly: "My daughter-in-law has sent Zhou Rui to inquire, but the people in Shuntian Mansion don't give any kindness. Not only are we allowed to redeem Pan'er, but we even returned the money we gave them some money!"

"Fortunately, Jia Yucun, the Zhizhong of Shuntian Prefecture, is the same clan as our Jia family. In the past, he was able to hold the position of Zhizhong with the recommendation of the master. Our Jia family is considered to be kind to him. He revealed that Pan'er's affairs had already reached the heavens' hearing. The emperor thought that a villain would destroy the reputation of the third master, so he ordered Shuntian Prefecture to investigate it strictly." Xue Pan was not successful and was also the contemporary head of the Xue family and her nephew. With the Wang family and the Xue family behind her, she could stand up straight in Rong'en Bo's Mansion and have the confidence to compete with her sister-in-law Xiao Zhang.

"The Princess Mingzhu is so domineering! My son just accidentally bumped into him. She refused to even give him the third master's face and ordered someone to throw my son into prison! I'm sorry that my son has never suffered since he was a child, and I don't know if he had suffered any grievances in the prison!" Aunt Xue resented, but her words were all because of Xue Pan's "simpleness". She thought it would be fine to lift Li Lian's name, but she was ordered by Li Mingzhu to be sent to the prison, saying that it was because of Li Lian that Xue Pan would suffer such a disaster.

In fact, it would be fine if she insisted on thinking like this. Li Mingzhu took over Li Lian's position, but she was not as prestige as Li Lian. If a petty person had the chance to blame Li Lian for this, he would hit everything about Li Lian.

After hearing this, Yi Yu raised her eyebrows. She had known that Aunt Xue was spoiled for a long time, but she didn't expect that under this situation, she was still obsessed with her family's stupid bully. She thought that with Xue Pan's virtue, she obviously teased Aunt Mingzhu, who had hidden his identity on the street. After being taught a lesson by Aunt Mingzhu, she took out her uncle's name and wanted to threaten Aunt Mingzhu. Unexpectedly, Aunt Mingzhu's true identity was actually the princess and second-rank general of the dynasty. She had a deep friendship with her uncle, and she immediately ordered him to be imprisoned. Later, Aunt Mingzhu's "inadvertently" came to the palace, and the emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation.

Although Yi Yu didn't know the truth, she also guessed it.

Daiyu frowned, dissatisfied with Aunt Xue's injustice to Mingzhu like this.

Shi had long heard of what the Xue family had done in Jinling, and Aunt Xue and Wang could not fool her by talking to her.

Her face remained unchanged: "Since the matter has reached the end of the world, the matter involves the dignity of the emperor and the royal family, I, an old woman, don't have the ability to do anything. My wife, please ask your brother to take action! I'm so powerless." Originally, because Wang Ziteng is a rare capable person in the four major families, she still looks forward to him very much and indirectly tolerate Wang's family, but now she has no good feelings for Wang Ziteng.

Aunt Xue's behavior is appropriate and she is willing to chat with her and has a good impression of her. However, this incident is not that simple, and Shi will not easily take things into consideration.

Seeing this, Xue Baochai quietly pulled Aunt Xue's sleeve.

Aunt Xue understood and wiped the corners of her eyes, saying, "I don't have the face, I beg you what you do, old lady. I just hope that for the sake of the two families of Jia and Xue, I will ask the third master of the mansion to help me put forward the words in front of the emperor and Princess Mingzhu. My Xue family will be very grateful."

"As long as we can save my Pan'er, our Xue family can do anything." Aunt Xue turned her head and signaled.

Ying'er quickly put the tray in her hand on the table and opened the box on the tray to reveal a thick stack of silver notes inside the box.

Yi Yu glanced casually and saw that the one on the top had a thousand taels of silver written on it, and it was estimated that there were about thirty or forty pieces.

Xue Pan now has two crimes. One is to offend Princess Mingzhu, and the other is to pretend to be the champion Hou family. As long as Li Lian is willing to come forward to persuade him, Li Mingzhu will definitely let Xue Pan go for the sake of Li Lian's face. Li Lian will then show Xue Pan's relationship with him in front of the emperor. The crime of pretending to be the champion Hou family will naturally be invalid, and all these problems will be solved.

However, in fact, neither of the above two charges will be killed. At most, Xue Pan was tortured in prison until she was skinned. However, Xue Baochai was worried that someone would take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the opportunity to take the title of the Xue family's Royal Merchant. Or as time goes by, Shuntian Mansion will continue to investigate and find that her brother's two previous life lawsuits will be killed if he is not killed! So, she decided to cut the mess quickly and find a way to find Li Lian to solve the problem as quickly as possible. It can be said that the most important thing at the moment is Li Lian's attitude. If Li Lian is willing to save him, Xue Pansheng; if Li Lian is unwilling to save him, Xue Pan will undoubtedly die.

Xiao Zhang frowned. Her brother-in-law Li Lian has always been close to the big house. Her eldest sister-in-law can be said to be half of her brother-in-law's biological mother. When she was a child, all the two children Jia Hu and Jia Lian had, Li Lian would definitely be exactly the same. My brother-in-law is in the limelight now and will have the chance to become a thorn in others' eyes if she is accidentally. She doesn't want her brother-in-law to get involved in this kind of mess.

"What does this mean by my wife? Take back these quickly!" Looking at the silver notes worth 30,000 to 40,000 taels on the table, Shi didn't move his brows.

"Old lady?" Wang was stunned.

She asked the old lady to come forward to lobby Li Lian. After she "forced the palace" with her brother Wang Ziteng, she already knew the old lady's concern for the four major families, and expected that the old lady would definitely not refuse the insignificant request from the Xue family. Unexpectedly, the old lady refused!

Xue Baochai pulled Aunt Xue's sleeve again.

Aunt Xue hurriedly smiled and said, "Old lady, don't see you. My Pan'er admires the Third Master, the most. It's a pity that he has always been squandering and cannot pay homage to the Third Master in person. You can accept this little meaning on behalf of the Third Master! When Pan'er comes back, he still has a generous gift to give." He thought Shi looked down on the only 30,000 taels of silver.

Shi said with a sorry look: "I'm going to hide it from my wife. Lao Shi's third son has a very strange temper and has never liked Lao Shi to interfere in his affairs. Lao Shi told him to go east, but he went west. Lao Shi told him to go home more, so he would just move his belongings to the military camp! Lao Shi really can't help you in this matter."

Regardless of whether it was Xue Pan teasing Princess Mingzhu, using Li Lian's name to bully men and women, or whether Li Mingzhu took Li Lian's anger and threw him into prison, Shi did not intend to let himself let the Jia family get involved in this matter.

If it were the former, Princess Mingzhu was humiliated. If the third son advised her to let Xue Pan go, she might agree, but there would be a gap in her heart. The emperor loved her and wanted to stand up for the third son and punish the evil people who used his name to bully men and women. If the third son persuaded the emperor instead, it would be shameless and make the emperor feel dissatisfied and resentful.

If it were the latter, Princess Mingzhu would not be satisfied with her third son, so she would not let him go easily and would make things difficult for him. The third son might lose face. If she told the emperor that everything was caused by Princess Mingzhu, the emperor would believe it or not, but she would definitely know that there was a problem between the third son and Princess Mingzhu. It is unknown who the emperor favored.

There are too many disadvantages to helping the Xue family, and the benefits are... A Xue family, who is in a dilemma, has no successors and is full of messes. I don’t know when the Xue family will lose their qualifications in the royal merchant? The Shi family can say a word on behalf of his third son Li Lian to thank Bumin.

She values ​​old in-laws, but she is not so stupid that she wants her third son to offend others or even lose her holy heart for the sake of her old in-laws.

"Old lady, this is just a slight effort for the third master." Wang wanted to persuade Shi, but Shi was not interested in silver, but she was very jealous of the thirty or forty silver notes on the table.

Yuanchun, her family, entered the palace for the glory of the entire Jia family. Her life was hard. The old lady and sister-in-law were unwilling to pay money to support her family. Although she felt sorry for her daughter, her son was the future support. Most of the money she had to be left to Zhuer and Baoyu. She was not allowed to arrange for Zhou Rui's couple to put out seals outside, so that she could have enough money to subsidize Yuanchun. However, after being told by the master and the playboy that day, the second brother ordered her not to continue doing it. Even the bills that had already borrowed the money would be destroyed, and she lost a lot of money in vain. If she could get these 30,000 or 40,000 taels of silver bills, Yuanchun would be able to live a little more and support for a period of time.

"Shut up! When will it be your turn to interrupt the matter of the man outside?" Shi looked at Wang in disgust.

She had long been tired of this stupid woman. In the past, in order to praise her second son, and at that time, this stupid woman was still honest and obedient, so she could barely endure it. But since the "forced palace" incident, she wanted to immediately ask her second son to write a divorce letter and hit the messenger's face. However, for Baoyu, Zhuer and Yuanchun, her grandmother could not let them have a abandoned mother, so she had to pinch her nose and continue to endure it.

It was not without reason that Wang was called a stupid woman by Shi. She was afraid to put her ideas on Yiyu and Daiyu sisters who were aside, despite Shi's dissatisfaction.

"Yiyu, Daiyu, you have the most close relationship with the third master. As long as you persuade the third master, you save your elder brother Xue's life, your Aunt Xue and Sister Bao will definitely be grateful to you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, it was hard to say that Shi, who had originally turned black, even the faces of Xiao Zhang and Yi Yu, who had not spoken for a while, had changed.

Xiao Zhang said with a stern voice: "Sister-in-law, be careful! What does these things about the outsiders have to do with Yiyu and Daiyu sisters? Yiyu and Daiyu are the daughters of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Even if you are their second aunt, you are not qualified to instruct them! If you want to ask the third brother to help your nephew, just go by yourself and don't pull them!"

Yiyu snorted coldly: "I have Brother Hu, Brother Zhu, Brother Lian San, but I haven't heard of Brother Xue! What kind of thing does the one with the surname Xue have??" He scolded both the two persons with the surname Xue in the hall.

Daiyu was also very angry, and a blush appeared on her face, which had always been slightly pale, "Second aunt! Daiyu's surname is Lin, and her uncle's surname is Jia. As far as the sky, she is the only relative of her uncle's family, but she has never heard of any relatives named Xue! Moreover, Daiyu has only two sisters, one is the elder sister of the same compatriot as Daiyu, and the other is Jia Shan from her uncle's family! But there is no treasure, Bei, Jin's sister!" Yiyu and Daiyu met the Xue family's mother and daughter for less than an hour, and they were just strangers who knew the name. They had no scruples when they cursed.

"Stupid woman!" Shi finally couldn't help but curse, "Jia Wang! You are so capable! You can use your husband's niece to interfere in your brother-in-law's wife's affairs!! You are so great Buddha that I can't afford to support you!!!"

Wang's face turned pale and fell to the ground with a thud.

Shi's words were so cruel and merciless.

It is a crime to take advantage of the niece of the husband's family, and it is another crime to interfere in the brother-in-law's wife. After it is spread, the reputation of the Wang family's daughter is definitely ruined, and she no longer has to want to marry a good family!

Even if a woman marrys into her husband's family, it does not mean that she is completely a member of her husband's family. Compared to her niece who has blood in her husband's family, she seems to be much more outsiders. Today, Jia Wang can use her husband's niece to do favors, tomorrow she can use her husband's nephew for profit, and the day after tomorrow she can betray her husband's family for her own benefit.

Since Xiao Zhang married into the Jia family, most of Li Lian’s time in the Jia family was taken care of by Xiao Zhang. The two parties were close to each other. In addition, the eldest sister-in-law was like a mother, so she had to interfere in the affairs of her brother-in-law’s wife. Li Lian had nodded. However, who is Jia Wang? Her identity is just the second sister-in-law who Li Lian was not close to, so what right did she have to interfere in the affairs of her brother-in-law’s wife!

Moreover, according to Shi's last words, it was clearly intended to leave Wang.

"Old lady, my sister doesn't mean that..." To a certain extent, Aunt Xue and Wang are worthy of being sisters.

Xiao Zhang interrupted her directly and said bluntly: "Mrs. Xue, we really can't help with the matter of the son. If you really want to ask the third brother for help, go out of the city to find him! Now we still have some family matters to deal with, so we won't leave Aunt Xue for more, so as not to delay the time to rescue the son!"

"Yuanyang! Why don't you send Aunt Xue and Miss Xue out quickly!" She turned her head and ordered directly to Shi.

However, Shi was not angry. Instead, he felt even more relieved after comparing the idiot who was shocked to the ground in front of him.

Yuanyang looked at the old lady hesitantly. She was the eldest maid in the old lady's room and only listened to the old lady in everything. Even if the eldest lady was the master, she still had to listen to the old lady in front of the old lady.

Shi nodded slightly to her, and then the mandarin duck was relieved and waved to amber, jade, and glass.

"Mrs. Xue, please go here, be careful of the threshold." The man helped Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai to walk out in a kind and unrestrained manner.

The servants met Feng Zhuandu the most. Seeing that the Xue family was about to lose power, and the ancestors and wives in the mansion clearly expressed their dislike for the Xue family. They quickly changed the title from concubine and Miss Bao to Aunt Xue and Miss Xue.
