Soon the Jia family learned that the Xue family was selling their properties in the capital. In fact, it should be said that Yaxin’s Ningguo Mansion got the news on the first day that the Xue family sold it, and Yaxin also ordered the shopkeeper of the shop under her name to Buy the shop and manor of the Xue family at the lowest possible price, so most of the Xue family's property is basically in Yaxin's pocket. It hasn't changed hands.

Mrs. Wang thought that something had happened to the Xue family, and if she ran out of money, this money was what she cared most about. Apart from being from her natal family, the most important thing to marry Baochai was that the Xue family had money. Money is gone, it doesn’t make much sense for this Baochai to marry, it’s better to marry *yun, although she’s an old lady, but she’s no match for someone who’s stupid, she’ll say a few nice words to you, even though historians don’t care She, but this dowry is not less, and she is still from the background of a lady from the official family.It's also funny. At this time, Mrs. Wang realized how unsuitable Baochai's status as a business woman was to marry Baoyu as the main wife. Not only did it not help, but it was easy to become a helper. It's not as good as Tanchun, a concubine, at least Tanchun's identity cannot be the wife of a high-ranking official, but it is enough to fill in the house, but Baochai can't, at most she is just a concubine.

Mrs. Wang unconsciously became dissatisfied with Baochai, and gradually thought of Baochai's past deviant behavior, and even felt that she was deceived by lard back then, and she went to ask Yuanchun for a marriage in person.It can only be said that people are like this. When you think a person is good, what she does is good. They are all wrong, no matter how good they are, they will find faults and prove that their views are correct.

Just when Jia Mu said that she sent someone to ask Aunt Xue to come over to ask what was going on, Mrs. Wang was also curious, so she stayed and waited with Jia Mu, and recruited Baochai to wait on her.

Aunt Xue came here as soon as everyone expected. Aunt Xue can be said to know Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang better than everyone else. As the saying goes, knowing the enemy and knowing the enemy can win all battles. She has studied all the masters of the Rongguo Mansion clearly. , That's why in the end she was able to successfully defeat Daiyu and *yun, the daughters of the Hou family, and get a marriage gift from Yuanchun to marry Baochai to the Duke's mansion.

Seeing that Jia's mansion was anxious to find her, she knew that they had noticed her recent move of selling property. Aunt Xue didn't panic, she explained a few words to the steward and followed the servants of Jia's family to Rongguo Mansion. Seeing that Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang didn't feel guilty at all, they still talked and laughed as before, until Mrs. Jia couldn't bear it anymore and asked why the Xue family had recently sold these properties, and whether there were any difficulties that the Jia family needed. The wife will definitely help.This was said in a grand manner, as if there was nothing that they Rongguo Mansion could not solve, Aunt Xue sneered in her heart, her face was still so modest and honest, she sighed and said: "The old lady is too worried, what can our family do?" It's not my son's fault."

"Oh? What's going on with Pan'er now?" Mrs. Wang hurriedly asked when she heard that it was because of Xue Pan. Chai can inherit it, but Baochai's money will be Baoyu's in the future. Mrs. Wang thought beautifully but dared not show joy, and asked worriedly.

Aunt Xue replied very gratefully: "Prince Zhongshun said that he can release Pan'er, and Pan'er will come back after serving a month in prison, but the condition of the prince is that our Xue family must leave the capital, and he will not allow it in his lifetime. I can’t come back, so the Xue family’s property in the capital must be transferred quickly, so that I can take Pan’er and the sold silver and return to my hometown in Jinling to make a comeback. The ancestral property is still there, these are our family’s Fundamentally, as long as these things don’t fall, it’s not difficult to start again.” Aunt Xue became sad as she spoke, and sobbed, “I don’t know how much I’ll suffer in prison this month.”

Mrs. Wang felt very sorry to hear that Prince Zhongshun was willing to let Xue Pan go, what a chance you had, and you just lost it like this: "Sister, don't be sad, it's good if you can come back, just take it as a pit to gain wisdom." Let's see if he dares to play like this in the future, and the whole family is so tired that they are worried about him." I didn't bother to pay much attention to Aunt Xue, but told Baochai and Aunt Xue to have a good talk, and after some consolation, I asked Mother Jia to leave. And Mother Jia also felt that there was no need to keep Aunt Xue talking nonsense, so she asked Baochai to take her mother away.

When Baochai and Aunt Xue arrived at Baochai's house, Baochai knew that her mother was hiding something from her. After looking around, no one asked, "Mother, what's the matter with brother? The prince is really willing to let her go." Did you lose your brother?" Although Baochai was very dissatisfied with Xue Pan's actions, and always had a feeling of hatred for iron and steel, but after all, she loved her brother, no matter how ineffective she was, her love for her was true. of.

"Lord Zhongshun did say that he was willing to let your brother come back, but the condition is not what I said just now. If I tell the real condition, your mother-in-law and the old lady will definitely dislike you even more, my My son, it's your brother who hurt you too." Aunt Xue finally found a place to vent her exhaustion after so many days, hugged Baochai and cried.

Baochai also cried. Indeed, if her elder brother didn't keep causing troubles, she would have to find someone who could help solve the troubles. She didn't have to marry into the Rongguo Mansion. Marrying a petty official or a capable scholar is better than marrying into the Rongguo Mansion. She has no ambition to be a master, but for the sake of the Xue family and for her elder brother, she must marry into a rich and powerful family, and must compete with others here. , pretending to be magnanimous: "Mother, don't cry, it's useless to cry now that it's like this, but you can tell me what conditions the prince has set."

"My lord wants [-]% of our Xue family's family property in Beijing, and we will give it to Zhongshun Wangfu if we need money in the future. The [-]% of our family property is also good. Our ancestral property in Jinling is still alive and we won't be sad. It’s a bottomless pit, and I don’t know when they will remember that if they want all our belongings, then we will be in trouble.” Aunt Xue told Baochai about her worries for several days, and she knew Her daughter is smarter than herself, so she may be able to relieve her worries.

Baochai quietly thought about why Prince Zhongshun wanted money?The palace is richer than us merchants, so why is it short of money, and can let the murderer of the little prince go for money?Baochai frowned, and finally she seemed to have caught something, it must be a matter of the royal family, if this involved her family, it would be troublesome, if it happened, it would be her brother's matter, she would not benefit from it, and she would lose The whole family can only recognize relatives in prison.Baochai held Aunt Xue's hand tightly and said, "Mother, we don't think we can follow the prince's wishes in this matter. After you give [-]% of the money to the prince, take back your brother and leave. Don't go back to Jinling yet. There are old people who can't lose it, so you and your brother find a place to hide it first, and I will go to the East Mansion to talk to Sister-in-law Zhen about it, otherwise our family will be destroyed." Baochai hurriedly confessed.

"Son, what's the matter with you, in such a hurry?" Aunt Xue asked, not knowing what Baochai meant.

Baochai leaned into Aunt Xue's ear and uttered her guess. Aunt Xue was shocked, she was unknowingly involved in the court battle, but she was worried about what to do if she left Baochai: "Son, This mansion has always relied on the loyal and obedient prince. If something happened, the Rongguo mansion would be finished, and even the Ningguo mansion would suffer. Brother Zhen had been helping the prince with the old lady. At that time What can you do?"

Baochai smiled at Aunt Xue: "Mother, you can rest assured that your daughter will not foolishly flee with the people in this house. Brother Rong is the emperor's confidant, and sister-in-law Zhen is also very favored, otherwise She will not take up the post of teacher, and even if something happens to Ningrong and Rongfu, they will be safe and sound, and I went to tell them about it because I have made a whistleblower, and I will sit with them for a few minutes after the incident I will be released from the prison for a few days, and even if it is found out that there is no such thing in the future, it is just that I have nothing to do to chat with my sister-in-law, and it is not wrong." Baochai said it easily, but in his heart There is still no basis, the mind of the superior is not something that a woman like her can guess, if she is angered, no matter how much credit she has, she will be obliterated.

Aunt Xue believed in her daughter very much, thinking that since Baochai said so, she would be fine, so she said, "That's good, then mother will go back first, and when your brother's matter is settled, mother will leave the capital as you said. I don’t know when I will see you again in the future.”

"Mother, just take good care of yourself. This time when my brother comes out, talk to him carefully, don't do those foolish things anymore, our family can't afford him to fail again, and advise my brother to do things well, otherwise we will not do what we plan to do." It's meaningless at all. I will take good care of myself in Rongguo Mansion, so don't worry too much." Baochai said to Aunt Xue, wondering if there will be a chance to see her again after today's farewell.

The mother and daughter talked for a long time before Baochai sent Aunt Xue away. After a few days, he found an excuse and told Mrs. Wang that she had asked Yaxin how to have a child, and went to Ningguo Mansion. Mrs. Wang wanted to hug her grandson. It's been a long time, so she won't doubt anything, and readily agreed to Baochai, but Mrs. Wang forgot that she already had another grandson, and she had neglected this grandson for a long time.

When Baochai arrived at Ningguo Mansion, she hurriedly found Yaxin, and after questioning Yaxin, she began to chat. Yaxin was still at a loss at first. Baochai mentioned Xue Pan, and Yaxin understood why the Xue family had been selling off all this time, even selling their own property at a low price, and understood Baochai's meaning. It was nothing because she was afraid that King Zhongshun would really cause trouble It will implicate myself and my family. This is to make up for my mistakes, to clarify my position, and to draw a clear line with the Zhongshun Palace.

Yaxin also clearly gave Baochai the answer, as long as they don't get involved, the emperor will be merciful and punish them at most, and will never kill them, so Baochai can feel at ease now.After Baochai left, Yaxin called Jia Rong and asked him to mention the matter to Huangfu Hanyang, so as to prevent it in advance, lest Shi Zhongshun Wang come suddenly and make Huangfu Hanyang feel helpless.

After Jia Rong left, Yaxin sat quietly, feeling very uneasy in her heart, with a feeling that the building was about to fall, and it was time for the building to collapse. , seems to have seen the two houses being copied, a mess, infinitely sad, and at the same time, she is also worried about Xichun's marriage. Xichun is not married yet. Whether it will affect Xichun's marriage, she is afraid that the Xiao family will regret the marriage when they find out, how will Xichun behave in the future, and whether the changes in the family will affect the children such as Wawa and Jia Qi, these are Yaxin's worries. Worrying a lot made Yaxin depressed for a few days, until one day Wawa and Jia Qi were in front of her. Yaxin tried it out and asked if they were afraid of disasters if the family changed. Only after going through some hardships will you grow up, so let’s take it as a chance to grow up.” Jia Qi also nodded in agreement, and it was only then that Yaxin realized that she was really superstitious, how could the children she taught could not even I can't even take a little bit of pain.
