save the bachelors

Chapter 4729 4732 [Send the Buddha to the West]

"My son, how did things go?" As soon as Xiang Nan returned home, Mrs. Wang immediately came forward and asked.

"Don't worry, ma'am, everything has been resolved." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "Feng Yuan has been saved by me, and big brother's lawsuit has naturally been settled."

"Amitabha! That's good." After hearing this, Mrs. Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"My good brother, you have such ability, it's really amazing." Wang Xifeng said admiringly.

Xiang Nan was able to come back to life. What a great ability this is. It is really hard to imagine.

"In addition, I also gave my aunt a piece of parchment with many prohibitions written on it to control my elder brother." Xiang Nan added, "To be honest with you, my cousin is really spoiled. He killed someone and acted as if nothing had happened. He didn't take it to heart at all."

"Hmm." Mrs. Wang frowned when she heard it.

No matter how disobedient or mischievous Jia Baoyu was, he just didn't like studying and liked to hang out in the inner house. He didn't harm or hurt anyone.

But Xue Pan was different. He actually let the slave beat someone to death in the street. It was really outrageous. Fortunately, Xiang Nan saved the man, otherwise, the lawsuit would still be fought.

"It's time to discipline this child." Mrs. Wang nodded.

"Our brother Bao is still the best. No one in the world can catch up with him." Wang Xifeng said with a smile.

……

"By the way, Madam, Sister Feng, I also brought back Xiangling, the girl that big brother had snatched away." Xiang Nan recounted Xiangling's life story again.

After hearing his words, Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng both had tears in their eyes. They didn't expect that Xiangling's life experience was so miserable.

He was kidnapped when he was a child, his house burned down, his father went crazy, and his mother was abused... The family was really miserable, and their life was bitterer than Coptis chinensis.

"So I brought them back and asked my family to help settle them. Anyway, so many slaves had gone there a few days ago, and there were many empty houses. I just picked two for them to live in.

Give them some money to support them for a few years. When Xiangling is 17 or 18 years old, find a suitable husband for her, which will be a good deed for our family. "Xiang Nan said.

"Yes." Mrs. Wang nodded.

She was the one who cared for the old and the poor the most. When she heard that Xiangling and her daughter were in such a plight, she had already thought of helping them. Anyway, it was not difficult for her to help them.

"Brother Bao is right. Who wouldn't pity these two mother and daughter?" Wang Xifeng nodded and said, "Leave it to me. I will make sure they are well settled."

Xiang Nan nodded, then took out the package, released Xiangling and her daughter, and introduced them to them, "This is Mrs. Feng, and this is Zhen Yinglian. This is my mother, Princess Rong, and this is my sister-in-law, Lady Wang..."

Xiangling and her daughter bowed quickly.

Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng hurried forward to help them up.

"Baoyu told me everything about you and your daughter. It's really pitiful." Mrs. Wang said, holding back her tears, "You should stay here from now on."

"Thank you, Madam, for your support." Feng hurriedly pulled her daughter and bowed again.

Xiang Nan took two more cups of holy water and gave them to Feng and Yinglian to drink, so that they could replenish their bodies.

Feng has worked so hard over the past decade that, although she is less than 50 years old, she looks like a man in his 60s or 70s. Her back is hunched, her waist is bent, her eyes are blurry, her face is full of wrinkles, and her black hair has turned all white. It is really sad.

Yinglian was abducted for ten years. During that time, she had poor food and clothing, and was often beaten and scolded by the abductor. As a result, she suffered from deficiency of qi and blood, and finally had a difficult delivery.

So Xiang Nan made them drink the holy water. Sure enough, after drinking the holy water, Feng suddenly felt warm all over, and her back was no longer hunched, her waist was no longer bent, her eyes were no longer blurry, her hair turned from white to black, and most of the wrinkles on her face disappeared. She suddenly looked 20 or 30 years younger.

After Yinglian drank the holy water, her complexion became much better. Although she was good-looking before, she was inevitably thin and frail. Now, after drinking the holy water, her body became visibly moisturized.

Feng and Yinglian felt the changes in their bodies and were naturally delighted and grateful. They kowtowed again to express their gratitude.

"No need to kneel down." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "It is the greatest blessing for you and your daughter to be reunited."

"Yes, it is a good deed. You should credit this merit to Madam." Wang Xifeng also smiled and said, "Come, follow me."

……

Afterwards, Yinglian and her daughter were placed in a yard on the back street.

That was the residence built by the Jia family for their servants. People like Zhou Rui's family, Dai Liang's family, Qin Xian's family, Wang Shanbao's family, etc. all lived there.

However, families like the Lai family, the Lai Sheng family, the Lin Zhixiao family, the Shan Daliang family, the Wu Xindeng family, etc., because they had made enough money from the Jia family, looked down on the small houses here and built big houses in other places.

For example, the Lai family’s house was built very neatly, especially the garden, which was only half the size of the Grand View Garden, which showed its grandeur.

Yinglian and her daughter were the only two of them, so it was quite appropriate for them to live here. Two rooms were enough for them to stay in. Wang Xifeng also left them fifty taels of silver for their future expenses.

This naturally made Yinglian and her daughter even more grateful, and they kept thanking him.

"We, mother and daughter, will definitely set up a longevity tablet for the madam and the young master, and burn three incense sticks every morning and evening to repay the madam and the young master's kindness." Feng thanked him.

……

As Yinglian and her daughter settled down in the capital, Xue Pan's incident of beating someone to death in the street in order to win Xiangling came to a temporary end.

However, although the matter was resolved, its impact was not over. Instead, it spread more and more widely and became more and more serious.

Because Feng Yuan's resurrection from the dead was a rare event in history. Not only were the people in Jinling City amazed, but the news spread hundreds or thousands of kilometers away, and even people in the capital knew about it.

After hearing about it, people all marveled at Xiang Nan's ability. He was able to bring the dead back to life. It was truly an incredible skill and was truly amazing.

As the news spread more and more widely, Xue Pan, who killed Feng Yuan, naturally became more and more notorious.

Although Feng Yuan came back to life, saving him from having to kill someone, his reputation was already ruined.

Even if a slave beat someone to death in the street, his behavior was too bad. Not to mention that he was just the son of a royal merchant, even if he was a royal relative, it would not be tolerated.

That is to say, the Jia family is so powerful now that even the emperor has to give in, so no censors have reported it. In the past, censors would have seized this opportunity to severely criticize the Jia and Wang families.

After all, Wang Ziteng is Xue Pan's uncle, and Jia Zheng is Xue Pan's aunt. Xue Pan dared to beat someone to death in the street, perhaps because he had the support of these two people.

At that time, the emperor would be furious and order a strict investigation. Not only would Xue Pan be brought to justice, but the Jia and Wang families would also be implicated.

So seeing that their nephew had such a bad reputation, Jia Zheng and Wang Ziteng discussed it and decided to write a letter to Aunt Xue, asking her to bring her son to Beijing as soon as possible.

Firstly, if he continued to stay in Jinling, he would inevitably be subject to more gossip; secondly, with them nearby to discipline him, Xue Pan would get into less trouble.

Aunt Xue also knew that her son had caused a terrible disaster, so she went with the flow and took her son and daughter to the capital.
