The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 433 Luring the wolf into the house
"Eunuch Zhou, please go slowly!"

At Shuntian Prefecture Yamen, Li Mingyuan escorted Zhou Xiangui all the way to the yamen gate.

After Zhou Xiangui mounted his horse and left, Fang turned around and quickly ran back to the yamen.

Grandmother Jia suspected that it was Shuntian Prefecture that reported the secret of ginseng, but Li Mingyuan knew it clearly.

Who are the Xue family? Are they worthy of the emperor's special instructions?

It could only be because of Zhang Yun逸.

Therefore, he did not dare to delay for a moment, and when he arrived at the yamen, he hurriedly ordered: "Quick! Please invite Master Xue out!"

Although Xue Pan had no worries about food and clothing in prison, he was still feeling depressed. After staying there for more than ten days, he lost a lot of weight.

Although Zhang Yun逸 said hello, he had not even been to court since he was imprisoned, so he just thought he was being questioned about the case.

When he arrived at the hall and was about to pretend, Li Mingyuan grabbed him and said with a smile on his face: "Master Xue has suffered!"

Xue Pan said carelessly: "There is wine and meat, but it's a pity that I feel bored!"

"I'm sorry, Master Xue! I'll arrange it right away and send you back!"

"Ah?" Xue Pan asked in astonishment, "No more trials?"

Li Mingyuan smiled awkwardly and said, "Mr. Xue, you are too polite. Mr. Zhang has already reported the matter to the Emperor, and His Majesty has passed on the message. What else is there to examine?"

Xue Pan blinked his eyes and said in disbelief: "Does that mean I can leave now?"

"That's natural!"

Xue Pan was also very frustrated, and when he heard that he could leave, he couldn't wait.

As he turned around, Li Mingyuan grabbed his sleeve and said, "Wait a minute, sir! The decree came in a hurry, and I haven't had time to inform the government yet. Why don't you take the government's car back?"

"Jinxiangyuan!" Xue Pan had been feeling very depressed for a while, so he got into the car and waved his hand.

But Li Mingyuan reminded him, "Please go back, Master Xue, and make sure to tell Master Zhang when you have time."

What he said reminded Xue Pan that there was no rush to pursue women.

It is Zhang Yunyi who needs to express his gratitude as soon as possible.

He nodded at Li Mingyuan, scratched his head, and changed his tone: "Forget it! Let's go to Rongguo Mansion!"

……

at the same time.

Inside the Xue family courtyard.

Aunt Xue was rubbing her hands and pacing around the main room like a headless fly.

The emperor sent someone to convey his oral order, but the girls in the Grand View Garden were cut off from the news and were unaware of it for a while.

But the Xue family, who lived in the backyard, got the news.

Her mood was quite complicated.

On the one hand, Grandmother Jia deliberately set a trap and caused Xue Pan to be imprisoned. This was a way to take revenge and also vent Aunt Xue's anger.

On the other hand, although it is most likely the work of Zhang Yun逸, once it reaches the emperor's ears, it will be difficult to control. It is hard to say how the emperor will deal with his family.

He was worried that he might get something out of the way, and was hesitating whether to go to the East Palace to ask Zhang Yun逸 for the inside story.

But then a report came from outside the house: "Madam! Madam! The master is back!"

After hearing this, Aunt Xue felt relieved and rushed out of the room.

When she arrived at the courtyard, she saw Xue Pan grinning at her. Aunt Xue wiped her eyes and stepped forward to hold her son.

At that moment, he jumped over the fire basin and brushed his body with willow branches until all the operations to get rid of the evil spirit were completed.

Fang pulled Xue Pan into the house and pressed his son onto the kang. Fang looked him up and down, muttering to himself, "Glad you're back, glad you're back! Why didn't you tell your family? So they could send a car to pick you up!"

Xue Pan smiled foolishly and said, "My son came back by Shuntianfu's car. This time, it's all thanks to Brother Yi..."

He immediately repeated what Li Mingyuan said, and then said, "Mother, you don't know how powerful my son is... The emperor personally sent someone to Shuntian Prefecture to pass on the message, and my son was released without even going through the court!"

He talked for a long time, hammering here and sticking there. Aunt Xue, who had put her worries aside, also sat down cross-legged on the other side of the kang table and listened carefully.

After listening to what Xue Pan said, Aunt Xue was overwhelmed with emotions. Her buttocks, which were pressed against the kang and looked increasingly full, moved unconsciously a few times.

I reached out and touched my knees, and felt that all the hard work and endurance was worth it.

Just as she was thinking about how to thank Zhang Yunyi, she heard Xue Pan's voice: "Mother, we must thank Brother Yi very much this time. Please ask the servants to prepare wine and food. I will go to the East Palace to invite him personally. I will not return until he is drunk!"

After hearing this, Aunt Xue was stunned.

The scene involuntarily emerged in her mind of visiting her son in Shuntian Prefecture and being pressed on the table in Linshuixuan by Zhang Yunyi after returning. Her plump legs, which were already crossed together and fit tightly, were unconsciously twisted together.

She glanced at her silly son guiltily and said hurriedly, "You...you just came back, aren't you...a little too impatient!"

Last time, Zhang Yunyi did not hide his inner thoughts at all. He not only confessed that he wanted to make her wear the black veil in his own home, but also in front of her late husband's portrait, with ill intentions...

Although Zhang Yun逸 did not break his promise, he not only rescued his son, but also reported it to the emperor, which can be said to be extremely thoughtful.

But when she thought about being tossed around by Zhang Yunyi in front of her late husband's portrait, how could she save her face?

If Xue Pan came to invite me now, and if he misunderstood that I had accepted his proposal, then how could I have the nerve to let him go back disappointed when he came here with great excitement?

Isn't this just tying yourself up in knots?

Xue Pan had no idea of ​​her difficulties, and shouted, "How can we delay repaying a favor? Besides, we offended him before, but he didn't hold a grudge and helped us. If we don't show any appreciation, how can he view us?"

At this point, he stood up and said, "Mother, don't be so reserved this time. Call my sister over and talk it over with us. Then apologize to him and clear up the rift. That's the best way to deal with it!"

After saying that, he kicked his feet and walked out of the house.

Aunt Xue secretly groaned. When it came to apologizing, she was already so dignified that she had already patched up all the loopholes. How could there be any gap at all?

However, Xue Pan said that the wind turned into rain and he left too quickly.

In addition, she had crossed her legs too tightly and did not have time to untie them. She could not shout and could only watch Xue Pan leave.

Seeing that the matter was already settled, we couldn't just wait for Zhang Yun逸 to come to the banquet and then push him away.

She had no choice but to order the servants to prepare wine and food, and at the same time, to be prepared for any eventuality, she secretly prepared a black veil and kept it in her room.

However, although she did not have time to stop Xue Pan from coming to invite people, she could not do everything he said.

Not only did she not follow Xue Pan's instructions and inform Xue Baochai to go home, but she used the excuse of gender differences to strictly order the servants not to go to Hengwu Garden to inform the news of Xue Pan's return home.

No one knows a son better than his mother. The silly son is fine, but he is a heavy drinker and is very grateful to Zhang Yun逸, so it is not difficult to cover it up.

But it was a pity for him because he was drunk as soon as he came back.

She sighed in her heart, and could only blame her silly son for bringing trouble upon himself by inviting a wolf into the house.

But her daughter, Xue Baochai, is a thoughtful person.

Not to mention whether she would stay and sleep with him, making him unable to leave, what if Zhang Yunyi got drunk and was not on guard, and got carried away during the meal, forgetting to cover up his actions and behaving frivolously, and Baochai noticed something, then he would really be too ashamed to face his daughter.
