The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

Xue's mother shook her head disdainfully.

"Don't worry, my daughter. They are just a bunch of low-ranking bandits. They are nothing more than an official who wants to make some money and gain political achievements. Everything will be fine after this is over."

"But..." Xue Baochai really wanted to say that based on the intelligence, this group of bandits was obviously different from ordinary bandits.

But before she could finish her words, Xue's mother pulled her up.

"Okay, let's stop talking for now. Eat your meal first, or it will get cold later."

Xue Baochai nodded helplessly.

Just as I sat down at the table, a maid suddenly ran in hurriedly with a note.

"Madam, Miss, something terrible has happened!"

Xue Baochai was slightly startled and quickly turned her head to look.

Mother Xue frowned, looked at the maid with dissatisfaction and asked in a deep voice,

"What on earth has happened? Are there no rules anymore?"

The maid was so frightened that she immediately stood still and lowered her head.

Xue Baochai stood up and said to her mother,

"Okay, Mom, don't be angry. Maybe it's something really important."

Mother Xue finally calmed down and looked at the maid and asked,

"What happened?"

The maid said in horror,

"Madam, someone suddenly shot an arrow at the gatehouse of our mansion. There was a note tied to it, saying, saying..."

Mother Xue was shocked when she heard this and urged,

"What did you say?"

The maid trembled and said,

"The note said that the master was kidnapped by a gangster!"

Xue's mother was shocked and stood up suddenly.

"what?!"

His eyes rolled back and he was about to faint.

Although Xue Baochai was also shocked and worried, she hurriedly supported her and pinched her Ren Zhong point.

Only then did Xue's mother slowly wake up.

Crying,

"What a sin this is!"

"He's been out and about all day, and I kept telling him to come back early, but he just wouldn't listen. Now look what's happened! He's been kidnapped by bandits!"

Seeing Xue's mother like this, Xue Baochai was still worried about her brother's situation, but she still tried to comfort him,

"Mom, you don't have to worry. Jinling City is well-defended. How could there be bandits out there? Especially not targeting a direct descendant of our Xue family?"

"Maybe it's someone's prank. My brother will be back soon."

Upon hearing this, Xue's mother came to her senses instantly and said hurriedly,

"Yes, you are right!"

Xue Baochai turned around and looked at the maid and said,

"Can you show me that note?"

The maid hurriedly handed over the note.

Xue Baochai took it in her hand and looked at it, her expression changed slightly in an instant.

Xue's mother noticed her expression and asked hurriedly,

"Baochai, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?"

Xue Baochai hurriedly handed over the note in her hand.

Force a smile.

"Mom, don't worry, it might just be some bandits who don't know the name of our Xue family!"

Then, without paying any attention to Xue's mother who was already in a state of panic,

Turning around and looking at the maidservant brought by Xue's mother,

"Go find Uncle Zhang and ask him to take some servants with him and go out to look for all the places my brother likes to go. Make sure to bring him back."

"Also, withdraw two hundred taels of silver from the accounting office and find out if any powerful figures have come to Jinling recently."

Upon hearing this, Xue's mother's maid bowed and left.

Xue Baochai waved to all the maids in the room.

After the servants had left, he went to sit beside Xue's mother, who was terrified, worried, and at a loss, and supported her and comforted her.

"Mom, don't worry, maybe my brother is on his way back now."

Xue's mother looked at the note in her hand when she heard this.

"But, this, this..."

Xue Baochai took the note and placed it on the table beside her.

Comforting,

"My brother is used to being a big shot in the city, so naturally, countless people are jealous and concerned about him."

"It's not surprising to know some information."

Xue's mother sighed with tears in her eyes.

"Your good-for-nothing brother is reliable. It's fine if he just takes care of the family business on weekdays, but he has to make everyone worry about him right now!"

Xue Baochai forced herself to persuade him,

"Mom, it's okay. Regardless of whether this is true or not, even if it is true, it's just asking for some money. We can give up some money to redeem my brother."

"everything will get better!"

Upon hearing this, Xue's mother nodded slowly, wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and turned to look at Xue Baochai.

"Oh! It would be so much better if you were a man!"

Xue Baochai smiled slightly, shook her head, lowered her head and said nothing.

But his eyes fell on the note on the table beside him.
