Chapter 690
Outside Xue's residence.
Previously, she was patronizing her son's success, but when Mrs. Wang saw the gilded plaque of Xue's family through the gap in the car window, she suddenly remembered the matter of 'equal standing'.
While feeling quite embarrassed, she couldn't help feeling suddenly suspicious in her heart, wondering if the Xue family had gotten the news in advance, so...
Although she can't be said to be extremely intelligent, she is by no means a fool. She didn't think about it before, mainly because she subconsciously felt that the Xue family had the same interests as her, and there was no reason to harm Baoyu.
Now that I have broken my habitual thinking, the more I think about it, the more suspicious I feel that the Xue family—especially Xue Pan, is the most suspicious.
She couldn't help but gritted her silver teeth secretly, thinking to test a few words first when she saw her sister, if it was really Wen Long who did it, then...
So what, she couldn't decide at the moment.
After all, no matter how you look at it, the Rongguo Mansion was wronged first, and in order to avoid a catastrophe, it must not be made public.
Anyway, let's find out if it's the Xue family first!
at the same time.
In the back house of the Xue family, when Madam Wang came to the door suddenly, Aunt Xue subconsciously wanted to welcome her out, but Xue Baochai quickly grabbed her, turned her back and asked, "Mom, what are you going to do when you see Auntie?"
Aunt Xue replied without thinking: "What else can I do? Naturally, I have to ask in person, what is her attitude towards Miss Lin's affairs!"
"Mom, don't be reckless!"
This is what Xue Baochai was worried about, and immediately persuaded: "With Sister Lin's temperament, it is still uncertain whether she will agree, not to mention traveling thousands of miles to Suzhou... If this matter comes to fruition, she must tell us; If not, why bother?"
As she spoke, she took her mother's arm and exhorted: "When you see Auntie, act as if you don't know anything. What happened in the past is what happens now."
"But……"
"Mom listens to me!"
Once Baochai's attitude became tough, Aunt Xue, who had never had a strong opinion, had no choice but to agree reluctantly.
So when she saw Mrs. Wang, not only did she not take the initiative to mention this matter, but she did not reveal many flaws when Mrs. Wang deliberately pushed Baochai away and tried repeatedly to beat around the bush.
Seeing that she really didn't know, Mrs. Wang gradually relaxed her vigilance, secretly thinking that this girl of hers has never been able to hide things, and now that she doesn't know about it, she probably really doesn't know.
However, she didn't know that Aunt Xue had practiced for more than half a year to cover up her adulterous relationship with Jiao Shun.
But after letting go of her guard, Mrs. Wang informed Aunt Xue about the "dead dog" incident, and said angrily: "You didn't see it. At that time, everyone in Yihong Courtyard was scared enough. , but still alarmed the doctor!"
Her words clearly put gold on Baoyu's face, but how could anyone who knew Jia Baoyu believe such nonsense?
But Aunt Xue didn't care about these details at this time, it was because there were more cities recently, she almost jumped up and screamed just now!
She didn't need to ask her about this matter, it must be Xue Pan's doing!
In the past ten days or so, seeing that Xue Wenlong was still living in peace, and never brought up the matter of 'equal sitting', she gradually relaxed her restraints. Unexpectedly, after only two days, this evil obstacle made a mess behind the back of the family!
Surprised and frightened, Aunt Xue couldn't help secretly rejoicing that her daughter had given an explanation in advance, otherwise, according to her original intention, if she asked her teacher to blame her as soon as they met, then her sister would definitely be suspicious of Wen Long!
Now that it has been concealed by accidents and mistakes, it must not fall short.
Thinking of this, Aunt Xue took a deep breath, and asked half guiltyly and half sincerely: "Is Baoyu okay? What did the doctor say?"
"It's nothing serious, just let me cultivate for a while."
Mrs. Wang waved her hand, pretending to be indifferent and said: "It's just right, Brother Shun asked him to return to his post as an engineering officer a while ago. When he recovers, he should go to work in the yamen."
This is another scene that is too fake to be fake.
There is no way, what her son has done recently is so muddy that she can't support the wall, she can't tell the truth in front of her 'in-law'?
Putting gold on Baoyu's face was also a forced and helpless move.
"That's good, that's good."
Fortunately, Aunt Xue didn't bother to study these things carefully, she patted her chest and pretended to be relieved, and then asked: "Then who did it was found out?"
"That's what I'm here for!"
As soon as the culprit was mentioned, Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth in hatred: "I have already entrusted this matter to Brother Shun. When we find out who it is, I will not let it go!"
When Aunt Xue heard this, she felt relieved. She secretly thought that it would be troublesome if someone else came to investigate, but since Chang Qing presided over the matter, it would be convenient to turn around.
Just thinking about it, after Mrs. Wang left, he sent out a secret signal to invite Jiao Shun to come to his house to discuss the countermeasures. Suddenly, Mrs. Wang changed the subject and said in an ambiguous way: "I have asked him to come over to discuss in detail at night, sister. At that time, you should come forward and beat the side drum for me."
…………
Just when the two sisters were connected with each other, Xue Baochai, who returned to the study in the small courtyard, was restless. On the one hand, he was worried that his mother would leak the word, and argued with his aunt on the spot; .
After all, no matter how calm and calm she is, she is still just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.
Taking a deep breath, trying to suppress all kinds of things in his heart, Baochai was about to use this book to divert his attention, or continue to write "The Book of Husband Training"-compared with the previous version that only focused on husbands and children, today's version Obviously a lot more extreme.
But before she could decide what to do, Ying'er suddenly heard outside the door saying: "Miss, the second master sent someone here and said he wanted to invite you to come over immediately."
"Ok?"
Baochai couldn't help but let out a light 'huh' when she heard this.
The 'Second Lord' here refers to Xue Biao, and this cousin of mine has always been the most respectful, so in the middle of the night, if there is any urgent matter, he should invite himself to meet with his aunt or Baoqin .
Now I suddenly said that I want to go to him right away...
Baochai stepped out of the door and looked at the maid Xue Biao sent to deliver the message: "Do you know why?"
"Back to the big girl."
The servant girl hurriedly bowed and said: "I don't know what's going on, but it's probably because of the uncle—just now the uncle came to look for our master, and I don't know what he said, so our master quietly asked me to find the eldest girl. "
Hearing that it was related to Xue Pan, Xue Baochai didn't hesitate any longer, and hurriedly led Ying'er to the second room.
From far away, Xue Pan was drinking with Xue Biao in the living room of the main room, Xue Baochai walked in without thinking, snatched the wine glass from Xue Pan with a sullen face, and then stared at him silently.
"Sister, why are you here?"
Xue Pan got up from the chair embarrassingly, and immediately thought of something, turned his head and gave Xue Biao a hard look.
Xue Biao was not afraid of him, and got up immediately, and said calmly: "I don't know why, but the elder brother suddenly came and said that he wanted me to take care of his aunt and sister, and he also revealed the intention of going on a long journey. Meaning——I saw that the situation was not right, so I hurriedly ordered someone to invite my sister."
Saying that, he cupped his hands at the two of them again: "Brother and sister will chat first, I'll go outside to deal with some private matters."
Then he dodged out without looking back.
Seeing this, Xue Pan was secretly cursing that he had entrusted him with injustice, and suddenly Xue Baochai asked: "Does my brother think that once he leaves, my aunt will not pursue it?"
Hearing this, Xue Pan was taken aback for a moment, and then said in despondency: "So, Auntie really came to Xingshi to question the crime?"
Then he scratched his head again, puzzled: "What's wrong with this? I obviously found two strangers to deliver things, and after delivering them, I sent them back to their hometown in Jinling."
"What did you send? How did you send it?!"
Xue Baochai continued to ask with a cold face.
"Just a dead dog."
Xue Pan gestured and said, "Put it in a box, and put some spices to cover the smell..."
Halfway through the talk, I suddenly felt something was wrong: "What? Didn't Auntie tell you?"
Xue Baochai naturally guessed it too.
Xue Pan didn't leave in the morning or in the evening, but Mrs. Wang would go far away when she came, and she ran to entrust her mother and sister to Xue Biao. If there was nothing tricky in this, then it would be hell.
"My aunt pushed me away as soon as I entered the door!"
Baochai gritted her silver teeth, and said anxiously: "I don't know for the time being whether the teacher is going to ask for the crime—brother, let's explain the matter carefully, see where the mistakes are, and then see if we can try to make up for them!"
Hearing what his sister said, Xue Pan hurriedly explained how he prepared and executed the matter.
When Xue Baochai heard that he had stolen the 'surname Lin', she became furious: "Brother is so confused! It would be fine if we don't use the word 'Lin', but since it is used, how can anyone with a discerning eye not suspect us?! "
"Is it because of a leak?"
Xue Pan was shocked: "I thought I could plant the blame on the Lin family and ruin the matter of the flat wife!"
Xue Baochai didn't know what to say, so she gave him a hard look, and said: "My brother is here, don't go anywhere, and wait until I ask you clearly!"
After finishing speaking, he went outside and asked Xue Biao to take care of him, and then turned to Aunt Xue's courtyard.
When she arrived at the main courtyard, she didn't go in in a hurry, but asked Aunt Xue's maid to communicate with Aunt Xue by taking the opportunity of serving tea.
After learning that the matter had been covered up, Xue Baochai was relieved.
If there is any disagreement, she is already prepared to use the 'equal wife' event to exchange the son face-to-face - but then, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will be difficult in the future.
Just as he was about to leave, he heard the sound of footsteps going out.
Xue Baochai hurriedly hid in the dark, watched Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang leave the courtyard, and then reappeared.
Guessing that Aunt Xue was probably going to send Mrs. Wang to rest, she asked casually, "Where does Auntie live at night?"
"Just the small courtyard on the northeast corner."
A courtyard in the northeast corner?
that is not……
Xue Baochai was taken aback, and blurted out, "Why did you arrange it there?"
The maid who answered did not suspect him, and smiled immediately: "Miss, don't you know that the concubine is the most quiet, and she chose the Qingtang hut in the Grand View Garden. It is no exception to come to our house. I have always lived in the small house in the northeast corner. In the yard."
This reason is also said in the past.
Not to mention my aunt, no matter how undisciplined my mother is, it is impossible for her to be with my sister...
…………
Northeast corner courtyard.
Jiao Shun sat on each leg of a distinguished mature woman, looking left and right hoping to be satisfied, when he suddenly felt a light pinch on his left waist.
His thoughts turned, and he immediately helped Mrs. Wang on his right leg, slapped her lightly behind her, and ordered: "Don't go and make the bed for me, master!"
Mrs. Wang was not annoyed at all, she responded with a very cooperative short body, and went to work in the room without mentioning it.
When she left, Jiao Shun pretended to be with Aunt Xue again, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Aunt Xue naturally wouldn't hide it from him, so she quickly told the ins and outs of the matter.
Seeing that his speculation came true, Jiao Shun shook his head and pretended to be embarrassing: "Both are my fake sons, and the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, but I am really embarrassed."
On weekdays, Aunt Xue would probably spit on him softly.
But now for the sake of his son, he didn't care about that much, and said immediately: "His father died early, and now he naturally points to you to take care of him—and Baoyu has never done anything."
Seeing that she recognized the 'false father', Jiao Shun immediately laughed and said, "I was joking just now. In fact, I guessed that it was Wen Long's handwriting. It's just that I didn't announce it in front of Mrs. Wang."
As she said, she bit Aunt Xue's earlobe again and said: "We are the ones who are in love with each other. She is just an addition at the right time. I will never be partial to her."
Aunt Xue was made soft all over, she felt that it was ironing, but also felt that she was sorry for her sister.
But when I think about Baoyu's actions, I feel at ease, and I can't help complaining: "If Baoyu and the old lady didn't mess up the relationship, why would things be like this."
"You can rest assured about that."
Jiao Shun said casually: "Sister Lin's matter is nothing to worry about, you can rest assured and leave it to me - when Baochai marries and takes care of it, it will be the best!"
Aunt Xue was overjoyed at first, then startled, she stretched out her hand to grab Jiao Shun's collar tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "You can't do things like killing people and stealing goods, besides, girl Lin is also a poor person..."
"Where did you want to go!"
Jiao Shun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly expressed his sympathy for Daiyu's suffering, and narrated sister Lin's experience over the years, deleting the part of repaying her kindness with her own body. Get angry.
So he blurted out: "If I had known there was such an inside story, I would never let Baochai get involved."
"What inside story? Who wants to get involved?"
At this moment Mrs. Wang came out through the curtain and saw Aunt Xue nestling in Jiao Shun's embrace with tears in her eyes, she was half envious and half teasing, "Hey, why did you drop the golden beads?"
"Haha, I told her some stories, and she took it seriously."
