Red Mansion, Ningfu Scholarly Family

Chapter 103 Please ask the master to do justice

……

"Hey, come here."

Jia Rong randomly called a maid who was walking.

The maid looked Jia Rong up and down, her face slightly red.

He is so handsome, he must be a good person!
"you are……?"

Jia Rong casually picked up a piece of silver and put it in the maid's hand, saying with a smile: "Take me to see Madam Xue and tell her that there is something important."

The maid held the silver coins and looked at Jia Rong strangely: "Master, you want to see our lady? Is there something wrong? Our lady just... was not feeling well."

"Your wife?" Jia Rong asked suspiciously, "Are you a maid from the Xue family?"

"Yes." The girl nodded: "I am our lady's maid, Ying'er."

Jia Rong smiled and said, "So it's Ying'er, take me to see your wife quickly, there's something urgent."

"Oh, okay, this way please, sir."

Ying'er led Jia Rong inside.

for a while.

We arrived at a small courtyard in the west wing.

Ying Er turned around and said, "Please wait a moment, sir. I will go into the house and talk to Madam."

"kindness."

Jia Rong nodded and stood under a banana tree outside the yard waiting.

Ying'er went into the house.

Aunt Xue lay on the bed and cried quietly, while Baochai sat beside her in silence.

"Ma'am, girl."

"There is a young man outside who says he has something urgent to see Madam."

Aunt Xue wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "What's the emergency?"

Apart from Xue Pan, Aunt Xue had nothing else on her mind.

Baochai was also puzzled and asked, "Who is it?"

All of Xue Pan's cronies were in Jinling, and he didn't know anyone in Kyoto, except the Wang family's brothers and sisters at most.

Ying'er stuck out her tongue: "I forgot to ask for your name."

Baochai wiped her tears, stood up and said, "Those who can enter this inner house are not outsiders. Please come in first, don't delay things."

"it is good!"

Ying'er went out of the door and waved to Jia Rong outside, saying with a smile, "Come in quickly, our ladies are all inside."

"Thank you."

"You are too polite, sir. May I know your name? The girl asked me just now, but I couldn't tell you." Ying'er asked shyly.

Jia Rong smiled and said, "My last name is Jia, you can call me Young Master Rong."

Ying'er covered her mouth and opened her eyes wide.

"Jia, Young Master Rong..."

His eyes were filled with surprise, joy, and admiration...

Even though she was just a girl, she knew that this was the most distinguished prince in Kyoto!

Xue Baochai, who was in the room, naturally heard it. Her heart started beating wildly for no reason and she stood up.

The man was wearing a blue silk shirt and his hair was tied up in a simple and casual bun. He had a handsome and elegant face, and he had both the literary talent of a scholar and the romantic and suave manner of a young man from an aristocratic family.

"Mrs. Xue, Miss Bao."

Jia Rong bowed briefly.

"I am Jia Rong from Ningguo Mansion. I am sorry to bother you."

Aunt Xue, Baochai was already sitting outside the hall, her eyes red. Aunt Xue hurriedly said, "Rong'er, there's no need to be polite. We are all family. Please take a seat."

"I won't sit down anymore." Jia Rong said slowly, "I just went to the Ministry of Justice to see Master Xue."

"what!"

Aunt Xue cried out in shock and could no longer sit still. She stood up and stared at Jia Rong closely: "Pan'er, how is Pan'er?"

Jia Rong sighed, "Mr. Xue is fine, he just wants to see you. I have asked them to prepare it, and no one will disturb them for a while. Madam Xue and Miss Baochai, please get ready... At least go and see him."

Aunt Xue burst into tears.

Ever since Xue Pan was arrested, she has been in tears for many days and nights, just wanting to see her ignorant son again.

But how could a woman enter a cell so easily?
Baochai also shed tears again, but soon calmed down and hurriedly advised, "Mom, don't cry for now. Let's get ready to go see brother."

"well!"

Aunt Xue quickly stopped crying.

"Please forgive me, Rong Ge'er. We will get ready now."

"kindness."

Jia Rong nodded.

"I'll wait outside the hospital."

When Jia Rong walked out of the door, a maid happened to come over in the yard carrying water. Although she was thin, she was very pretty, especially the small rouge mole between her eyebrows, which made her look even more charming despite her young age.

"Are you Xiangling?"

Jia Rong asked.

The little girl looked at Jia Rong in a daze.

"Sir, are you calling me?"

She looked so cute and adorable that Jia Rong felt so much sympathy for her that he thought: When Xue Pan gets beheaded, the Xue family will most likely not keep such a girl.

At this time, Aunt Xue and Baochai had hurriedly packed up and came out of the room.

Both of them were dressed very simply.

"Xiang Ling is coming with us too!"

Aunt Xue said in a cold voice.

If her Pan'er died, this girl must be buried with him.

As soon as they walked out of the door, they suddenly saw Wang Ziteng dragging the half-dead Wang Zisheng towards them.

It turned out that Wang Ziteng saw Jia Rong coming and realized that the truth would come out, so he planned to sacrifice his brother to gain sympathy.

"It's all my fault. I didn't take good care of this beast. Today I know the whole story. You can kill or chop it up as you like."

Wang Zisheng knelt on the ground and slapped himself: "Sister, I am a beast. I cheated you out of your money. I deserve to die!"

After a while, his face was swollen, his nose was sore and tears were streaming down his face, and he looked very miserable.

Aunt Xue didn't quite understand at first, but after a while she suddenly realized what was going on and looked at Baochai.

Baochai had a calm expression on her face.

She had known there was something fishy going on, but there were no men left in the Xue family, so what else could she do?

Can the mother and daughter beat Wang Zisheng to death?
Jia Rong said with a smile: "Mrs. Xue and Miss Baochai, let's go see Master Xue first. Don't worry about being cheated of money by the Wang family. I will ask the master to come forward and give you justice."

Wang Ziteng's expression changed.

He is afraid of this!
Jia Jingke doesn't care who wins or loses over Wang Ren. He will just blame the entire Wang family and even empty the entire Wang family.

He is the governor of nine provinces. If he has no money, how can he support his soldiers? How can he make great achievements in the nine frontiers?
Wang Ziteng said hurriedly: "Sister, we can discuss our own affairs among ourselves, outsiders..."

"Lord Wang is wrong," Jia Rong interrupted, smiling faintly, "This is a matter between the Wang and Xue families, so the master will naturally come forward to administer justice."

Xue Baochai lowered her head and pulled Aunt Xue's clothes: "Mom, let's go, my brother is still waiting."

The wise Xue Baochai certainly knows how to choose.

Outsiders will be more or less cautious, but relatives are often the most ruthless!
Wang Ziteng's face had turned completely gloomy.

One hundred thousand taels of silver!
Wang Ziteng suddenly roared, raised his foot and kicked hard.

"Die!"

"what!"

Wang Zisheng screamed and rolled on the ground for several times, and then lay there motionless.

……

Prison Department of Punishment.

Women, especially unmarried women, rarely visit the prisoner, after all, it is detrimental to their reputation.

Baochai was still hesitating whether to get off the car.

Jia Rong said sternly, "Miss Baochai, please go in and see him. This is probably the last time. Your brother may not be able to rest assured if he can't see you."

"Don't worry, there's no one else inside."

Baochai then nodded slightly, lifted her skirt and got off the carriage, and Xiangling hurriedly followed to serve her.

"Let's go."

Jia Rong led the way as they entered the dark cell. Aunt Xue, Baochai, and Xiangling did not dare to look around. They only lowered their heads and stared at the ground. After a while, Jia Rong stopped.

"It's right in front."

The three of them looked up.

I saw a man with disheveled hair, unshaven beard, dirty body, greasy face, and holding a chicken leg in his hand.

Aunt Xue was stunned for a moment, then ran over regardless of everything and hugged the dirty Xue Pan tightly.

"Son, my son!"

Baochai and Xiangling snuggled together, sobbing softly.

For a while.

Xue Pan pushed Aunt Xue away and said, "Mom, it's okay. I've been making trouble for you for so many years. I have to go over there and make trouble for the master. I can't let him live in peace over there."

Aunt Xue cried, "At this time, you still say such things to irritate me. You are going to piss me off to death!"

Xue Pan hurriedly smiled and said, "This is the last time. This is really the last time. From now on, sister will make mom happy every day, and the master and I will be happy down there too."

"Stop talking, stop talking."

Aunt Xue turned around, hugged Baochai and burst into tears.

Xue Pan looked at Baochai again and said with a smile: "Brother, I am sorry for you. You could have married into a good family, but now...ah!"

"Fortunately, our family still has a lot of money. No matter where you marry in the future, you won't have to worry about food and clothing. When you have a child, ask him to kowtow to me, your uncle, at my grave. I'll be happy there too."

Baochai couldn't say a word now. She threw herself into Xue Pan's arms, ignoring the fact that Jia Rong, an outsider, was watching her: "Brother, don't worry!"

Xue Pan pushed Baochai away and said with a smile, "Look at you, Rong'er is still watching you, and you are like this. I just went downstairs to make trouble for the old man in advance, why are you crying?"

"And you, Xiangling!"

Xue Pan looked at Xiang Ling and chuckled, "I bought you with my life! Don't you have to accompany me and serve me?"

Xiangling was so frightened that she stopped crying and her little face turned pale.

"Hahaha."

Xue Pan laughed again and said, "I'm just trying to scare you. You're too lucky. Don't stay with us. Follow Rong Ge'er. He's lucky and he's not afraid of you."

Jia Rong: “…”

Feng Yuan is one, and Xue Pan is almost one too. So they will both be killed soon, right?
Xiangling looked at Jia Rong timidly. She felt that Jia Rong might not dare to accept her.

Jia Rong beckoned, "Come here, maid. Let's go out and let them talk."

"Ai."

Xiangling quickly wiped her tears with her sleeve and carefully followed Jia Rong outside.

The jailer bowed and came over and said with a smile, "Master, is there anything else you want to ask me?"

"No more, just keep an eye on your people."

"Don't worry, young master."

After more than half an hour, the sun set.

Aunt Xue, Baochai came out.

Aunt Xue burst into tears and went into the carriage to cry.

Baochai bowed to Jia Rong and said, "Thank you very much for your help, young master."

Jia Rong sighed, "You're welcome. I feel really bad that I couldn't help Master Xue with his affairs. If the Xue family's eldest branch has any difficulties in the future, Ningguo Mansion will definitely help."

Xue Baochai bowed again.

"Thank you for your kindness, Master."
