Red Mansion points are hard to earn

After Jia Zheng returned home, he told Mrs. Wang what Xie Yan meant, and Mrs. Wang relayed it to Aunt Xue:

"Xie's nephew said that he can only keep Pan'er for a few months, and if he wants to completely settle the lawsuit, he needs to find someone else."

"Who else do we have to find? Why don't we still rely on Xie's nephew and son-in-law, as long as Pan'er can come out, it will cost as much money as possible. It's okay to kill a scholar in Jinling, but it won't cost much money to get a buddy."

"What Mom said is that brother-in-law Lin works in the Ministry of Punishment after all, so it's cheaper to do things." After Baochai finished speaking, she turned to Mrs. Wang and said:

"Madam, please talk to the master again, and brother-in-law Lin, please work hard to take care of this matter. My Xue family will be very grateful."

"This is impossible. The master spent a lot of talking the day before yesterday, but Xie's nephew just refused to agree, and finally agreed to keep Pan'er for a while after evading it."

"How about this? Our family doesn't have frequent contact with the officials of the Ministry of Punishment." Aunt Xue wiped her tears and said to Mrs. Wang: "If the empress said a word in the palace, wouldn't it be more effective than those officials?"

Mrs. Wang felt helpless after hearing this, so she had to hand over the sign to enter the palace again. Yuan Chun heard this and sighed:

"The relatives are connected by flesh and blood, and they should support each other. It's just that we made mistakes in this matter first. If it is stabbed in front of His Majesty, it will never be good. I'm afraid that not only Pan'er will be affected by the time, but even my palace will be wronged. "Yuan Chun paused and said: "If this palace knew that Pan'er was so unbearable, no matter what, it would not have pointed out Baoyu to Baoyu, and it would not be a burden on our family. Your Majesty is now strictly governed, and we are not even in the palace. If you dare to make a mistake, not to mention that Pan'er is a matter of life and death, our family should not interfere." Yuan Chun sighed, and once again complained to Mrs. Wang because of Baoyu's matter, no wonder her grandmother has always disagreed with the Xue family's marriage. , it turns out there is a reason.

"Then what's the best way to live now? Could it be that Pan'er lost his life for nothing?" Mrs. Wang asked urgently.

"How can you lose your life in vain? It was Pan'er who wounded people first. Such a scandal happened to their family. It is the utmost kindness for our family to treat our aunt and cousin kindly. The day before yesterday, I heard something wrong with my uncle in office, and His Majesty was very unhappy. For several days. Besides, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, why should I intervene? I have become more and more tired these days. If there are good medicinal materials in the mansion, I will send them to the palace. .”

"Tomorrow, I will order someone to bring it. For the sake of the little prince, the empress should also take care of her health."

Mrs. Wang complained about Xue Pan in both Yuanchun and Jiazheng, felt wronged, and completely let go of it when she went back. Only Xue's mother and daughter were anxious, and the second sister You had already taken advantage of the hustle and bustle at home to clean up the house secretly. The softness makes people send it back.

"Mom, don't worry, what if you get sick from crying?" Xue Baochai hurriedly persuaded Aunt Xue when she saw her headache and dizziness from crying.

"Could it be possible to let your brother die in prison? Your sister-in-law has not moved yet, but who can I count on in the future?"

"Your Majesty is afraid of making mistakes, and it is understandable that she will not take care of this matter if she will cause trouble to the little prince in the future. No matter who has an accident in our family, Your Majesty must take care of herself in the palace so that the future prosperity of the mansion can be preserved. According to me It seems that although brother-in-law Lin is strict, he didn't say anything to death, but there is still a way. When Miss Lin comes back, I will go to the mansion to beg her personally. I want to come to my sister, but she is soft-hearted. If I really ask her, I won't It doesn't matter. Her sister has always loved her, so I don't know if she can persuade brother-in-law Lin."

"Then we can only wait now? Thinking of your brother suffering in prison makes my heart hurt." Aunt Xue cried.

"Mom, don't cry, brother will be able to change after suffering some hardships. Now besides brother-in-law Lin's place, there are also uncle's house and Sanya's place. We should also move around. It would be great if we can redeem my brother with money. "

"My son, you are still thoughtful. We only rely on Rongguo Mansion and forget about your uncle's house."

Aunt Xue hurriedly went to Wang Ziteng's mansion, not wanting that Wang Ziteng would also be involved in a lawsuit. His subordinates exposed his shortfalls in his foreign office. Increase responsibility.Wang Ziteng was preparing to borrow some money from his two younger sisters, and he was very happy to see Aunt Xue coming.

"I also pointed to borrowing some money from my sister to use. I can't help Pan'er's affairs. Your Majesty is staring at me now, how can you cause another lawsuit on the cusp of the storm? My sister should also be considerate of me." After hearing this, Wang Ziteng didn't dare to help. Now he was only found out that he was short-lived, and he felt a little lucky in his heart.

Aunt Xue had no choice but to leave and go back to the house, and refused to lend money to her brother.

"Mom is confused. Our family only has some real power with the eldest uncle. If we can survive this time, we will have to point to him in the future." Aunt Xue heard that she was reasonable, so she had to get some money from the house and send it to Wang Ziteng to make up the shortfall.

Xue's mother and daughter reconciled the accounts, only to find a discrepancy:

"These dozens of shops have always had the best prospects, why are they reporting a deficit in their accounts?" Puzzled, he summoned the manager of the shop to question him.

"When the uncle is at home, he often comes to give money to order, and the younger ones dare not refuse."

"What did brother do that cost so much money?" Baochai didn't believe it, and called Xue Pan's servants to ask questions.

"As soon as the uncle went out, he sent us to have a drink, where the uncle went and what he did, the younger ones don't know."

"Don't ask, I'm definitely going to Fireworks and Willow Lane." Aunt Xue said angrily.

"Brother used to go to those places with young servants, and even if he went every day, he wouldn't spend this much money."

"You still don't know your brother's temperament. When he is happy, money is given to others like running water."

Hearing what Aunt Xue said, Baochai let it go, and said to Aunt Xue, "You can't just point at brother-in-law Lin and third sister, and see if there is any way to go."

Now that Baochai had an idea, she sent someone to tell Tanchun, and Tanchun asked the prince of Beijing:

"My second sister-in-law's younger brother beat someone to death a few days ago and was put in prison. He said he was sentenced to be beheaded. Now my second sister-in-law is sending someone a message to find out if the prince has a way out."

"Just the rich Xue family you mentioned in the past?"

"It's her family." Prince Beijing recalled that Xue's family had first distributed money to the mansion to deliver poems and essays, and couldn't help becoming interested, and said to Tanchun:

"You answer first, and see how much money they have prepared." The emperor is pressing every step of the way now. If he keeps standing still, he will really be an idle prince in the future. What the King of Beijing is most short of now is money.

Aunt Xue and Baochai handed over a lot of money to the palace, but there was no movement from Xue Pan. They sent someone to ask Tanchun, but they were just perfunctory. The prince of Beijing Jing never gave orders in a single word.

"It turns out that we were tricked by the third girl. It's a pity that we lost such a large sum of money, but how can we get back?" Aunt Xue thought hard for a long time and still couldn't find a good plan.

"Just take it as a loss, the palace is so powerful, how can we afford to offend." Baochai recalled the old and new grudges, and deeply regretted that she trusted Tanchun credulously.

"For now, let's just wait for Miss Lin to come back. The mansion is in disarray, and there is nothing left. Your dowry is watched by the people of Rongguo Mansion, so it is not easy to use it." Aunt Xue comforted Baochai in turn. .
