Hope for luck

Chapter 256
After hearing Cui Fujin's reminder, Shen Yiling woke up. For the Shen family, the status of the imperial merchant is not important anymore. The most important thing is to keep Shen Jieli, otherwise, the Shen family will go bankrupt.

"By the way, when I came back, I didn't see Gao Pan, what about others?"

Cui Fujin suddenly remembered something, at this moment he didn't have the joy of his son's wedding, he just felt messed up.

"It is said that something happened at home, and I was in a hurry to let him go back. I don't know what happened, but I still have to let him go back?"

Naturally, Shen Yiling would not hide from him about Gao Pan's movements.

"Well, I still want him to go back and talk to his grandfather, maybe Jerry can be exonerated, that's all, let's talk about it tomorrow!"

After hearing this, Cui Fujin waved his hands helplessly.

Shen Yiling's eyes lit up:
"Master Hou, you thought about it, and he thought about it too. Although he was anxious to go home, he told me before he left that he might still have a way. It's what you just said, Master Hou, to persuade his grandfather..."

Cui Fujin's expression froze after hearing this, and then looked at Shen Yiling in surprise:
"Did he really say that?"

Shen Yiling nodded heavily:
"That's right, my concubine was also surprised at the time, and tried to persuade him, but he said that this is a rare opportunity, and he was sure to persuade his grandfather. After finishing speaking, someone came to him..."

After hearing this, Cui Fujin picked up the teacup and drank again, still sighing softly:

"Hey, Girl Hua really found a good man. For her brother, it's really rare for Gao Pan to do this..."

Cui Fujin wanted to keep Gao Pan to speak before, but he wanted Gao Pan to come forward to persuade Mrs. Gao, and let Mrs. Gao go to the emperor to express his attitude.

After all, the Gao family was a veritable old nobleman in the Taizu period. If the old master Gao said that their Gao family did not want to make trouble, the emperor would definitely pay attention to Cui Fujin, and maybe Shen Jieli would be able to get away with it?
At the very least, there won't be any serious crimes, and it will be much easier for him to rescue Shen Jieli when the time comes!
After hearing Cui Fujin's praise, Shen Yiling said with regret:
"Who says it's not, girl Hui still refuses, such a good gentleman, I really can't find it with a lantern... But, Hua'er is also our niece and son-in-law..."

When it came to the end, Cui Fujin couldn't help laughing because she didn't forget to comfort herself:
"Haha, ma'am... you are really... Our Hui girl is not worried about marriage, what are you thinking..."

After hearing this, Shen Yiling didn't show any joy, and said quietly:
"Master Hou, you should know her temperament. If you don't force her, I'm afraid I'm going to become a nun..."

As soon as the words fell, Shen Jinhua's voice came from the door:
"Uncle, aunt, please see me!"

Shen Yiling recognized Shen Jinhua's voice, quickly recovered her appearance, opened the door, looked at Shen Jinhua who was standing pretty at the door, and quickly took her hand and walked into the room.

"Good girl, why are you being so polite, come into the house quickly, don't freeze..."

Hearing Shen Yiling's soft voice, Shen Jinhua, who was a little upset at first, calmed down a little, and first gave a big gift to the two:

"Give it to Uncle, Auntie please greet me!"

Seeing this, Cui Fujin also got up and said calmly:

"Good boy, what are you doing? Sit down quickly. You don't have to be so polite here. Uncle doesn't have any other children here, only your cousin..."

Shen Yiling also quickly supported Shen Jinhua to sit on the high chair beside her, and couldn't help but 'blame' a few words in distress.

"Uncle, I heard that you just came out of the palace. What happened to my brother...? Please tell uncle clearly, Hua'er can bear it!"

The more polite Cui Fujin and Shen Yiling were, the more Shen Jinhua's heart sank, and there was an indescribable uneasiness in her heart.

Seeing this, Cui Fujin and Shen Yiling looked at each other, then Cui Fujin smiled and said:

"It's not a big deal, your brother will be back in two or three days at most, don't worry..."

Shen Yiling also followed suit and said:
"Yeah, Hua'er, don't think too much, just take good care of your mother..."

After Shen Jinhua heard this, Yurong seemed a little determined:

"Uncle, Auntie, at this point, I am the head of the Shen family. Why do you bother to hide it? No matter how big the matter is, I hope Uncle and Auntie can tell me that even if the family goes bankrupt, I have to keep my brother!"

As she spoke, there was still a trace of crying in her tone, which made Shen Yiling feel a pain in her heart, and quickly grabbed her catkin and said:

"Silly boy, what nonsense are you talking about? There's no need to go bankrupt. Your uncle is still alive. He's a first-rank Lord. Could it be that he can't save my nephew?"

Shen Jinhua still looked at her resolutely, and seemed dissatisfied with this statement, which made Shen Yiling feel a little embarrassed, and turned to Cui Fujin for help.

Seeing this, Cui Fujin understood that if she didn't tell Shen Jinhua the truth at this moment, she would be fooling her and disrespecting her. After a moment of hesitation, she said softly:
"Forget it, let me tell you the truth, the emperor is very dissatisfied with Jie Li's beating, and said that he will punish him severely. Right now, I can't speak for your brother..."

After hearing this, Shen Jinhua's pretty face turned pale instantly, and what she was most worried about still happened.

Before, because Mrs. Shen fainted, it was difficult for her to inquire about the situation in time, but she, who was smart, was secretly thinking about the reason and thought of some bad things.

In particular, Gao Pan's words before coming here made her even more troubled.

At this time, after hearing the accurate news, my heart fell to the bottom in an instant, and my heart was in a mess. If the current emperor wanted to punish someone, who would dare to stop him?
Of course, she couldn't understand this truth very well, and she didn't blame it. Cui Fujin said that it would be difficult for him to come forward to excuse Shen Jieli.

After all, when the emperor was angry, no one could stop her, and Shen Jinhua didn't want them to owe the Cui family too much favor.

At this moment, she just wanted to lie in Gao Pan's arms and cry bitterly, asking Gao Pan what to do?
However, she also understands that Gao Pan is not here at this time, and everything depends on herself.

Seeing Shen Jinhua's expression suddenly changed, Shen Yiling's heart also stabbed. After casting a sideways glance at Cui Fujin, she patted the back of Shen Jinhua's hand and said softly:

"Don't listen to your uncle, it's because he cared too much and couldn't let go of everything. He just spoke for your brother. Your lord, Gao Pan, thought of a way for you a long time ago, saying that he would go back and persuade his grandfather Quan Guogong to come forward. Maybe it can make your brother's charges less, or even innocent..."

After Shen Jinhua heard this, her almond eyes opened wide, and she looked at Shen Yiling tremblingly, as if she was too excited, so she breathed out a few breaths, and then said:
"...Auntie, what you said is true, Pan Lang..."

As she said that, tears flowed from her eyes. To her, this was no different from the gospel that came from nine days ago. It hit her heart instantly, and she shed tears of excitement and happiness.
