The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 424 Listen to you

“Gurgle gurgle!~”

Inside the Shuntian Prefecture Prison, in a clean and tidy independent cell, Xue Pan leaned on the bed and took two sips of wine.

The prison boss, dressed in a white robe, bowed and nodded, saying, "Master Xue, if you need anything else, just tell me!"

Xue Pan put down the wine pot and said carelessly: "Didn't you say that the case would be tried? Why is there no news for two days?"

"The prefect said that Lord Zhang had given his regards and told me to take good care of him, but I don't know about the rest!"

As he was speaking, the prison door suddenly opened and Shuntian Prefecture Governor Li Mingyuan poked his head out.

"Lord Fu Yin!"

Li Mingyuan waved at him: "Come out with me!"

The jailer didn't dare to ask any more questions and quickly bowed and left the cell.

When he went out, he found that next to Li Mingyuan, there was a woman wearing a black gauze hat and wrapped tightly in black gauze.

Ordinary people don't have this taboo, and only the wives and grandmothers of wealthy families would dress like this when they come to such places.

The jailer guessed the woman's identity just by looking at her attire. Sure enough, Li Mingyuan bowed slightly to the woman and said, "Madam, please do as you please."

Given Li Mingyuan's status, there was no need for him to personally send Aunt Xue over.

However, at this time, Zhang Yunyi was still willing to arrange for someone to visit. In addition, there was suspicion that he was changing his attitude according to the situation, so he became even more cautious.

Upon hearing the sound, Xue Pan quickly looked towards the cell door. When the woman walked into the cell, he quickly stood up.

"Why is mother here?"

He scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry to have made mother worried! I'm afraid you haven't slept well these past two days?"

Speaking of worrying, Aunt Xue couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

She had not received any news the night before, so naturally she could not be worried. Although she learned about the situation last night, she felt relieved with Zhang Yunyi's guarantee and knowing that she could see her son again. She recalled the feeling of numbness and tingling a lot.

While putting the food box on the table, he took off his veil and said guiltily, "How can I feel at ease if I don't come to see you?"

Xue Pan glanced at Aunt Xue and said in surprise, "Hey! Mother looks good. It seems that I was worrying too much!"

At this point, he suddenly realized, "Brother Yi is really considerate. Not only did he give advance notice and take care of his son, he also thought of comforting his mother."

"If you don't know how to speak, just say less!" Aunt Xue blushed and scolded.

Xue Pan wondered, "Did my son say something wrong? Could it be that it was Brother Yi who asked my mother to come visit my son?"

"It's...it's him!"

Xue Pan said heartlessly, "Then it's settled. Don't worry, mother. The jailer said that Brother Yi had informed the prefect, and my son didn't suffer at all."

"Alright! Come over and eat!"

Aunt Xue glanced at the food on the table, then at the wine pot in Xue Pan's hand. She felt very relieved, but complained, "How can you drink wine in prison?"

As she spoke, she brought out the food that had been prepared in the lunch box.

"These are all your favorite foods. I specially asked my family to make them."

Originally, she didn't need to come until now, but thinking of her son who was in prison with little food and clothing, she thought of preparing a lunch for him as well, which was better than nothing.

Now it seems that I was worrying too much. My son is well taken care of by Zhang Yunyi, and it is not in vain...

When she thought of this, her face couldn't help but turn redder.

Xue Pan on the side said nonchalantly: "Brother Yi, didn't you tell mother? Why did you bring food here? There is nothing missing here, but the wine is too bland."

At this point, he remembered the case and asked, "Oh right! What's going on? Why is our family selling fake ginseng?"

Aunt Xue sighed and told the story in general.

In order to calm her down, Zhang Yun逸 found out how Lady Jia sold ginseng on her behalf, and he no longer hid the fact from the clerk.

Even so, Xue Pan still slammed the table and stood up after hearing this, cursing, "That old hag has done such a terrible harm to her son!"

After he finished speaking, he realized that he had spoken too quickly and looked at Aunt Xue cautiously. In the past, if he had said something like this, he would most likely have been reprimanded.

This time, I was surprised to find that she was not angry at all.

Then he plucked up his courage and said, "There are not many good people in the Jia family. I won't talk about Brother Zhen. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have offended Brother Yi. Now we need him to help us. Baoyu is also a coward. What jade or not? To me, he is just a piece of stone!"

"Alright! Eating can't stop your mouth!"

Although Aunt Xue was scolding, she also had some thoughts in mind.

Jia Zheng stabbed someone in the back, and Zhang Yunyi launched an expedition to hold him accountable. Not to mention Yuanchun's marriage, even the relationship between the two sides would probably be worse than before.

On the contrary, it is my own family that has benefited most because of my own relationship.

Marrying into the Rongguo Mansion again would not only be of no benefit, but might also ruin Zhang Yunyi's favor, which would not be worth the loss.

Her mentality had changed, but Xue Pan just thought that she was still unable to let go of her golden marriage.

So he asked, "By the way! Did Brother Yi say when to get his son out?"

When he asked this, Aunt Xue said with a guilty look on her face, "Something happened in Jiangnan. He is worried that someone out there will use this against him. I'm afraid you will have to suffer for a while."

I thought Xue Pan would be dissatisfied, but he said nonchalantly: "What's wrong with it? I'm just troubling him to help."

At this point, he suddenly asked, "What happened in Jiangnan? Why would someone target him?"

Aunt Xue then told Xue Pan about what happened in Jiangnan and how Jia Zheng had taken advantage of her misfortune.

After hearing this, Xue Pan slammed the table and said angrily: "I told you! There is not a single good person in the Jia family! They can stab the Yi brothers in the back today, and they may do the same to us tomorrow!"

These words hit the nail on the head for Aunt Xue.

Now that the matter of ginseng had been brought up, and Zhang Yun逸 had not hidden it from her, Grandmother Jia knew everything about the ginseng issue.

Aunt Xue also found out that there was financial problem in Rongguo Mansion.

Thinking back on how Mrs. Wang had prevented her from going to congratulate him, she had a deeper understanding.

It’s just that her son is a talkative person, and she doesn’t want to tell him too much.

"Alright! We'll talk about these things when you get back!"

Xue Pan shook his head and said, "I don't know when I can go out. Mother, please bring my sister with you next time!"

When he mentioned the golden marriage just now, Aunt Xue scolded him. Xue Pan thought that she was still unable to let go of the golden marriage, so he thought about doing Xue Baochai's work.

He couldn't go out, so he had no choice but to let Xue Baochai in.

"What are you talking about? I didn't even dare to tell her!"

Aunt Xue said angrily, "How can an unmarried girl like her come to a place like this? If I wasn't worried and had to cover it up, I wouldn't have come!"

She was wearing a black veil and a veil, and was wrapped up very tightly.

But if it fell into Zhang Yunyi's eyes, it would probably be a different scene.

Fortunately, Zhang Yun逸 intended to avoid suspicion. If he had personally sent Aunt Xue over, seeing her dressed like this would probably arouse the widow's interest.

Maybe you can't wait to go back and just do whatever you want in the car.

It was indeed inconvenient for Xue Baochai to come here. Xue Pan had no choice but to give up after hearing this. He said, "Forget it! If you don't want to come, then don't come! But when mother goes back, she must go to the East Palace and thank Brother Yi on her son's behalf!"

"I...I won't go." Aunt Xue said with a guilty conscience, "You should thank him yourself when you get back!"

"What do you mean? We don't know how long it will take for our son to get out. If we delay for too long, Brother Yi might misunderstand us. If we take everything for granted, won't he think we are unreasonable?"

"Then...then I'll listen to you!"

Aunt Xue swallowed hard.
