Hope for luck

Chapter 278

Seeing that Shen Jieli was indeed much more stable, Gao Pan also heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, because what he was going to say next might provoke Shen Jieli's fists and kicks.

Perhaps it was because of this incident that Shen Jieli's temperament changed a little after he went to the prison. He was looking at Gao Pan with a serious face at the moment, as if he knew what Gao Pan was going to say, and it must not be a good thing.

"Brother Shen, the first thing is, because of this incident, your Shen family's imperial business name was taken away by the emperor. From then on, your family is just an ordinary merchant's family!"

Gao Pan took a deep breath and said the first thing slowly.

After Shen Jieli heard this, his face was full of shame, and he lamented:
"It's just my unfilial descendant. My ancestors also produced several noble officials. In my generation, not to mention being an official, even the name of the imperial merchant that has been passed down from generation to generation is gone. Damn it..."

After Gao Pan heard this, he also fell silent, but he agreed with what Gao Pan said.

After all, it was indeed because of Shen Jieli's failure to live up to expectations that this situation was brought about.

However, for the sake of his prodigal son's return, Gao Pan still comforted him:
"The name of the Imperial Merchant is gone. I heard that the Tian family is also an Imperial Merchant. After Miss Tian's family marries you, the Shen family can still be said to be an Imperial Merchant!"

After Shen Jieli heard this, his complexion became a little better, he nodded slightly, and looked at Gao Pan anxiously, waiting for him to say the second thing.

Seeing this, Gao Pan took another deep breath and said calmly:
"The second thing is that Aunt Shen doesn't know what the cause is. She hasn't woken up yet. The doctor said that she is fine, but she hasn't woken up for some reason. She also said that she might wake up soon, or..."

In the end, Gao Pan didn't say a word, but even so, Shen Jieli understood, beat his thigh hard, and cried:

"It's all my fault, causing my mother to be like this..."

As he spoke, he lowered his head and began to sob. Seeing this, Gao Pan patted him on the shoulder lightly, not knowing how to persuade him for a while.

Earlier, because of Mrs. Shen, Shen Jinhua also cried a lot. Fortunately, Gao Pan stood aside to comfort her, and then she slowly recovered.

Now, when Shen Jieli heard this situation, he also became sad, which made Gao Pan feel the same way.

"I heard from the doctor that it was because of Aunt Shen who had been severely frightened before. I think it was in Dantang County, where she was frightened too much on Zhongli Mountain, and this time, evil spirits entered her body... "

Gao Pan's explanation made Shen Jieli even more ashamed. If it wasn't for his carelessness, Mrs. Shen wouldn't be surprised if there were bandits.

In addition, this time, it was also because of him that Mrs. Shen fell into a coma, which made him feel that he hated himself a little bit. Why was he so self-willed before?
Seeing this, Gao Pan got up silently, and the carriage fell into a brief silence.

After a long time, Gao Pan mustered up his courage, broke the silence, looked at Shen Jieli and said sincerely:

"Brother Shen, the third thing... I hope you can calm down after hearing this. Anyway, we can sit down and discuss it, okay?"

Seeing Gao Pan's serious face, Shen Jieli's eyelids twitched, thinking, it can't be some other big bad thing, right?

"Brother-in-law, the Shen family is already like this now. If there is any bad thing, you can just say it. Compared to my mother, I don't care about other things. As long as my mother is good and my sister is good!"

Seeing Shen Jieli's sudden and sensible approach, Gao Pan was also taken aback, and then said solemnly:

"It's not a big deal. Compared with the first two things, this third thing is just a bad thing for you, Brother Shen!"

Shen Jieli became even more puzzled after hearing this, looked at Gao Pan and asked:

"Could it be that the Tian family regretted their marriage because of my affairs? Is that right?"

After Gao Pan heard this, he was slightly startled, and thought to himself, there is really such a possibility, but of course he was not talking about this, so he secretly prepared himself, stared at Shen Jieli and said word by word:

"No... it's Luo Ying, the maid next to Hua'er, I've already put her in the room..."

As he said that, Gao Pan secretly accumulated strength and was ready to subdue Shen Jieli at any time. Did he know how important Luo Ying was to Shen Jieli.

However, to his surprise, after hearing this, Shen Jieli was very calm, even looked at him, and asked after a while:

"Brother-in-law, that's all? Nothing else?"

Seeing this, Gao Pan was a little surprised:
"That's all!"

After hearing this, Shen Jieli looked at Gao Pan with a relaxed face and said:

"How big a deal is this? Is it worthy of your brother-in-law's attention? I thought it was a big deal..."

After Gao Pan listened, seeing that his expression was not fake, he couldn't believe it:

"Brother Shen, this is Luo Ying, the maid you did not hesitate to fight for her. Didn't Aunt Shen still promise to send Luo Ying into your room when you marry a wife? Right now, she... It's gone to my house!"

Gao Pan thought that Shen Jieli didn't hear clearly, so he explained it carefully again, and pointed out some key points.

After listening to this explanation, Shen Jieli patted Gao Pan on the shoulder, looking very kind, and explained with a wry smile:

"If it was before, I would definitely have reasoned with my brother-in-law in this carriage, but after this catastrophe, I also want to understand that the mother and younger sister are the most important, and the rest are nothing..."

"...Brother-in-law is a person who has made great achievements. He can let me eat and drink in the prison, which is not something ordinary people can do. He got me out again. In the future, brother-in-law will definitely be a great person..."

"...It's her blessing that you can fall in love with Luo Ying. I only hope that you, brother-in-law, don't betray my sister's friendship just because of a pretty maid. A maid is a maid, and my sister is the future mistress of your house! "

What Gao Pan didn't expect was that when he heard Gao Pan say that after Luoying was brought into the room, he was not angry, but calmly talked about his opinion with Gao Pan.

Even as Shen Jinhua's elder brother, he is advising Gao Pan not to disappoint Shen Jinhua's friendship.

This made Gao Pan feel a little overwhelmed, Jun's face flushed, and he didn't know if it was because he was excited to get Shen Jieli's 'recognition', or because Shen Jieli said that he failed Shen Jinhua's friendship because he felt ashamed?
"...Thank you, Big Brother Shen, for your success. Hua'er is naturally irreplaceable in my heart. In this life, if I owe her something, Big Brother Shen can come to the door to argue, and I have nothing to say!"

Knowing Shen Jieli's thoughts, Gao Pan said with great respect that this was the first time he respected Shen Jieli so much after seeing him.
