The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 288
After hearing Mu Xu's explanation, Baochai couldn't believe it, "My uncle is also an official of the imperial court, so how could he have anything to do with Maitreya Sect?"

Mu Xu had no choice but to tell Baochai all about the origin of the alarm.At the end, he added, "Jing Huan and her father Wang Chong have both been arrested and brought to justice. The evidence for this matter is solid and there is no room for defense. Uncle has a close relationship with Wang Chong, and as the head of the Wang family, he has committed the crime of negligence. Therefore, he will not escape the law no matter what."

Baochai grew up in Jinling, and she had heard Aunt Xue talk about Wang Chong, but she couldn't believe that there was a secret uncle who was the holy priest of Maitreya in her mother's mouth. woman's daughter.After thinking about what the Maitreya Sect was up to, she worried, "How many people will be involved in this matter, will it involve my uncle, my mother, Sister Feng and other married women?"

Of course Mu Xu knew what Baochai was worried about, so he comforted him softly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty has decreed that this time only the chief culprit will be investigated, and those who don't know will be pardoned."

Baochai patted her chest, and said subconsciously, "That's good, that's good!" After she said the words, she realized that her behavior would appear to be a little unkind to her uncle's family, so she added, "If I Uncle has been convicted, what about aunt and cousin, will they be implicated?"

Mu Xu hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully, "According to the court regulations, they are the immediate relatives of Wang Ziteng, or they were conjoined, or demoted to common people, and sold to Jiaofang Secretary."

"Ah, is this too serious?" Baochai asked in surprise.

"That's how the law is, who made Wang Ziteng commit such a big crime!"

After Baochai heard this, she thought for a moment, and finally said, "Can you think of a way to help my aunt and cousin. My aunt is almost fifty, and she has been rich and well-fed all her life. How can she bear that kind of humiliation. And sister Xiluan, she will reach the age of Ji next year, if she is sent to the Jiaofang Division, wouldn't her life be ruined?"

If Baochai pleads for Wang Ziteng, then Mu Xu won't agree to anything, he doesn't want to be a bad person.Fortunately, Baochai was very measured, and he was just interceding for Mrs. Wang Ziteng and his daughter. Mu Xu thought about it for a while, and felt that this was not a big deal. Besides, he was from a later age, and he was not used to the ancient ways. Killing people was just a nod In the land, there is an injustice and a debtor. Whoever commits the crime will find it. Why bother to find the female relatives to be unlucky, and they are still sent to places like Jiaofangsi.

"Since you have spoken, I will naturally not refuse. I will find a way to get them out when the Wang family comes to a verdict." After Mu Xu finished speaking, he reminded Baochai, "You must not come forward at that time. Let your mother or Lian's second sister-in-law come forward, one of them is Wang Ziteng's younger sister, and the other is his niece, it's justified, and outsiders have nothing to say."

Baochai understood that Mu Xu was trying to avoid suspicion, so she hurriedly agreed, and thanked Mu Xu for his help.Mu Xu waved his hand and said, "You have the time to thank me, why don't you go home and persuade your mother, what happened to Wang Ziteng this time is no small matter, so she must not meddle in it."

Baochai couldn't help laughing wryly when she heard the words, "My mother has soft ears, she doesn't know much, she is really easy to be deceived by others, I should tell her better."

Thinking of Baochai's hard work in giving birth to a daughter, Mu Xu couldn't help feeling soft, and said, "Maybe you haven't been back to your mother's house for a long time, why don't you go back and have a look after lunch." Having said this, he paused, and then Added a sentence, "Bring Jin'er along, and let her grandmother and uncle see you."

Baochai looked at Mu Xu in surprise, then hesitated and said, "Grandmother and mother..."

"It's okay, I'll tell them, you just take care of yourself."

After coming out of Baochai, Mu Xu went to see his mother and told her about Baochai. As expected, Princess Changning didn't object.

After dinner at noon, Baochai, who had received Mu Xu's sympathy, hugged her daughter in a good mood, and took a group of followers, and drove to her mother's house in a carriage.When they arrived at the gate of Xue's house, as soon as the gate sent a message to enter, Aunt Xue took Baochai in with her son and daughter-in-law in the blink of an eye.

When they arrived at the Nuan Pavilion in the inner house, Aunt Xue took the baby, looked at the little person inside, and boasted happily, "Look at the small nose and small eyes, it must be a beautiful embryo when it grows!"

Mrs. Liu echoed, "That's for sure. This is called Sui Gen. My brother-in-law and sister are all outstanding talents, and my niece is of course the best."

Several people surrounded the child for a long time, until the child was hungry and began to cry, Baochai ordered the nanny to carry the child into the inner room to nurse.Taking advantage of this time, she said the purpose of this trip.

As soon as Baochai finished talking about Wang Ziteng, Xue Pan couldn't bear it any longer, and complained to Aunt Xue, "What I said, I can't believe what Auntie said. She is clearly trying to trick our family."

"Don't say a few words." Seeing the suspicious look on Baochai's face, Aunt Xue hurriedly spoke to stop her son.

But Baochai had already heard what Xue Pan said, how could she be fooled so easily, and immediately asked Aunt Xue what was going on.Aunt Xue talked about him, but Xue Pan didn't care, "Oh, my mother, it's about this time, so don't try to hide it from my sister. If you want to say it, then I can say it." Immediately, I immediately explained the reason why Aunt Xue came to find Baochai.

It turned out that after Wang Ziteng's family was put under house arrest, Mrs. Wang couldn't think of a way at Rongguo Mansion, so she called Aunt Xue to ask Baochai to marry Mu Xu.If it's just like this, it's not a big deal, but this Wang family pretends to be smart, not only deliberately concealing it from his sister, but even reasoning that Wang Ziteng just committed a trivial matter, and if Baochai's husband can come forward to intercede, he will be safe and sound. thing.

After Baochai heard Xue Pan's words, she didn't know what to say, she was very puzzled, how did the Wang family manage to cover the sky in the Rongguo Mansion in the first place?Just such an ignorant and stupid woman, by what means, has been in charge of the Duke's mansion for many years.Take this incident as an example, besides being disgusting, what is the use of her doing this?Could it be that Mu Xu was expected to be persuaded by Aunt Xue Xue without knowing the inside story, and ran to intercede for Wang Ziteng?

Seeing Baochai's silence, Aunt Xue thought her daughter was angry, so she gave Xue Pan a look and explained to Baochai, "My son, it's not all your aunt's fault, she's also worried about your uncle. He is not a son-in-law, so he may not know what's going on here."

Baochai sneered and said, "Mom, do you believe this? The second brother Lian of the Rongguo Mansion is going to court, and his uncle is also working in the Ministry of Industry. How can their family not know about such a big matter? My good aunt , this is fooling you like a fool, I can't see her sinister intentions after looking at her!" In order to prevent her mother from being deceived by the Wang family again, Baochai broke the words and talked about the doorway in detail.

"Don't even think about it. What did uncle commit this time? Is it a common crime? The Maitreya Sect did rebellious work, and uncle was involved. At this moment, a normal person would choose to stay away from their family. But you are lucky. Not only do you meddle, but you also want to drag your son-in-law into it. If I really believed your nonsense and persuaded my son to intercede for my uncle, have you thought about the consequences? What would the emperor think of him, and what would the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty think of him?"

Faced with her daughter's barrage of questions, Aunt Xue was dumbfounded and couldn't even utter a word. In the end, it was Mrs. Liu who saw that the situation was not going well, and stood up to smooth things over, "Sister calm down, Mom is also being deceived. Besides, with the brains of brother-in-law and sister, how can they be easily calculated by others."

Baochai sighed, and said earnestly to Aunt Xue, "Mom, I know you can't let go of your compatriots, but uncle and aunt don't necessarily think so! They have plotted against our family several times. Are you a real sister, especially an aunt? When did she come to you before, not for money? Ever since she lost power in the Jia family, that is, you still miss her and send someone to visit her eagerly. She is good, she has nothing Not to mention gratitude, but after encountering a disaster, he still wants to drag you into the water, what kind of person is this!"
