Through the red mansion, the flowers bloom and end

Aunt Xue tremblingly followed the expressionless middle-aged man in front of her. Not only was it just her illusion, she always thought that this man exuded a cold aura, but this might be the only chance to see her daughter, so, She didn't want to miss it, so she raised her heart all the way, carefully watched the figure finally stop in front of a small courtyard, and her heart was full of doubts.

Seeing that the man didn't even look at her, he stepped forward and knocked on the door twice, the door opened, and the boy who came out smiled very obsequiously. Doesn't this man have any noble status? At that time, a cold voice that made her heart tremble, "Don't you want to see your daughter? She's inside, don't go in quickly." The man's tone was very loud, and he looked at her with complete disgust The former Aunt Xue would definitely not be able to bear the contempt and contempt. However, after experiencing these difficult days, it is not uncomfortable, but she can bear it.

"My lord, is my daughter really inside?" Aunt Xue asked with some doubts. Could this person be a kidnapper?But then he denied it, he is like this now, what is there to be kidnapped by others, besides, this person's behavior is very different from those kidnappers.

"You'll know when you go in," the man continued, as if he was too lazy to waste time, "If you don't want to, just go and close the door." The last instruction was given to the boy standing at the gate of the courtyard.

"I'll go in, go in," seeing the boy closing the door, Aunt Xue had to put her doubts behind her and said quickly, and then walked in very quickly, and the people behind her were also at this moment. Because of this, she didn't see the contemptuous smile on the corner of the man's mouth. I'm afraid that even if she saw it, she would have nothing to do now.

Aunt Xue looked at this very exquisite small courtyard, and soon went to the inner courtyard, saw her daughter sitting in the small courtyard, the resentment in her heart had not had time to express, her eyes were already red, after all, she had been depressed all this time The grievance and sadness in my heart prevailed. How can I bear it when I see someone who can confide in and rely on.

Baochai's situation here is no better than that of his mother. Seeing the familiar faces of relatives, thinking about being locked up in this small courtyard for the past few months, although there is no lack of food or clothing, as long as he thinks about it, he will spend his whole life. Living such a life, how can she be reconciled? Those elder brothers just manipulate her life so casually, but she has no ability to resist. This is the first time Xue Baochai thinks that her identity is small, and how naive and naive her previous thoughts were. , even if the heart that yearns for wealth and honor is still not burning, even Baochai herself has to admit that while she yearns for power, she vaguely begins to fear, fearing that just one word can put her to death as the supreme power.

Therefore, the two mothers and daughters had different moods, and at the moment they met, they hugged each other and cried, expressing their unhappiness in life these days, and the pain and discomfort in their hearts, although it is extremely miserable, but, The two nuns in the inner courtyard did not even move their eyelids, allowing them to cry.

When both of them felt the same, half an hour later, the eye sockets of the two mothers and daughters were red and swollen, and the bodies hugging each other were also slightly stiff. Helped the two of them up.

"Mother, let's go into the room and talk." Baochai had countless things to say in his heart, but after all, he put the two nuns aside and said in a somewhat hoarse voice.

"Okay." Aunt Xue naturally had no objection, and then Baochai ignored the two nuns and still stood at the door of her room, and closed the door neatly as before.

"Girl Bao, why are you here? Shouldn't you be in the Babeile Mansion?" The original questioning didn't come out when she saw her daughter's red and swollen eyes. At this time, Aunt Xue also noticed the courtyard. The atmosphere here is not right.

"Mother, it's a long story. In short, my life is suffering." Xue Baochai said, her tone was very calm, without the excitement just now.

"How come?" Aunt Xue didn't understand, "Where's that girl Ying'er? Why haven't I seen her all this time?"

"That girl," Xue Baochai thought of Ying'er, who couldn't bear the torment by elder brother's men and committed suicide not long after she came here. There was no other emotion in her eyes except fear. She sighed and said, "It's gone. .”

"Tell me, what's going on?" Seeing Baochai like this, Aunt Xue quickly grabbed her hands and pulled her to sit beside her. This child must have suffered a lot.

Baochai complied obediently, poured water for Aunt Xue, and then told her what happened these days, Aunt Xue's face turned green and pale for a while, if this happened to others, she would use it The absurd son said it, but, "How could such a thing happen, they are too bullying?" Aunt Xue said very angrily.

"I thought so too at first," Xue Baochai said calmly, "But after these days, I realized that those people were smarter than we imagined. I am afraid that when the incident happened, it happened in Lin Daiyu's house. Everyone understands that there are also my calculations in it."

"No way," Aunt Xue said with some disbelief, "If that's the case, why did the emperor let you enter Babeile Mansion?"

"Hehe, mother," Xue Baochai said with a wry smile, "don't forget that the emperor is not only the emperor, but also Babeile's father. You said that I planned on his son so, how could I not be punished? The emperor taught me to Babeile I just want his son to handle it himself, but unfortunately I thought I had succeeded."

Aunt Xue was terrified when she heard those few simple words. She only found out about Bao girl's plan after the fact, but they were only happy at that time, "No, Bao girl, didn't you say that it was Lin Daiyu and Jia Yingchun who made the plan at that time?" Is it a complete set? You are just planning, why are they fine, but you suffer alone, what is this?"

"Hehe, now I understand," Baochai's calm was broken for an instant when Aunt Xue mentioned the word Lin Daiyu. Facing Lin Daiyu, she is not only jealous and resentful, but also has a lot of hatred. In the eyes of those in the royal family, our lives are not much different from those of ants."

"Then Bao girl, what are you going to do? You can't stay here forever, right?" In that case, it would be better not to come to the capital in the first place, guarding the family business, and Bao girl can find a good family. Aunt Xue She didn't say it, because she could tell that the fighting spirit in her daughter's eyes still existed.

"Mother, how is this possible," Xue Baochai said solemnly: "Soon, soon I will be able to get rid of the current situation."

"That's good." Looking at her daughter who regained her confidence, Aunt Xue felt relieved. After understanding the matter, she knew that her daughter was involuntary, and the complaints in her heart disappeared without a trace.

"By the way, mother, why are you here?" Xue Baochai looked at Aunt Xue's face very ugly, and then noticed that she was no longer wearing silk and satin, but the most common coarse cloth clothes, and her whole body She lost a lot of weight, "Did something happen?" She frowned and asked with concern, her intuition told her that it must be something bad.

With just such a word of concern, Aunt Xue's tears fell again, and she began to cry and tell about the things she had encountered in these days, her worries about Xue Fan, her disappointment with Rongguo Mansion and Wang's family, her despair in her situation, and her failure to find out. , Xue Baochai's face became paler and paler.

"Mother, do you mean that the Xue family is gone?" Xue Baochai felt chills all over her body, and thought that shutting herself up like this was the greatest punishment. In addition to relying on it, Babeile took people there himself. Doesn't this confirm his conjecture?

"Well," Aunt Xue nodded sadly. The Xue family was in her hands, so how could she not be sad.

"Brother, is the Queen coming soon?" Xue Baochai asked, her voice trembling even more. How could she not understand that with her brother's temperament, something would happen sooner or later in the capital? The matter came out, and she used to like him that much, which made her feel so embarrassed, no matter how bad her brother is, he is good to her, he is always her relative, and he is the only male in the family, no matter how bad he is, he is still mother and daughter The two's reliance, although not very reliable, at first glance, my brother has been sentenced to be executed after autumn, but after counting after autumn, there are still a few days left.

"Yes, Bao girl, you must think of a way to save your brother," Aunt Xue looked at Baochai expectantly, just like many times before, when she saw Xue Baochai, her mind couldn't turn Yes, I intuited to give everything to my daughter.

"Mother, listen to me," Xue Baochai forced himself to calm down, and then said: "You were wrong in this matter from the beginning, neither the Jia's House nor the Wang's House can intervene in this matter. Elder brother, and as far as I can see now, his status in the court is not low, besides, what happened to my elder brother was sentenced by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, they don’t have that ability, and they are even more afraid of getting into trouble.” If it were me, I would be alone, but, Xue Baochai couldn't help being angry when he heard their attitude towards his mother.

"Calm down," Xue Baochai's voice hardened as she looked at her mother who was still crying, and her mind turned rapidly at this moment, "Mother, listen to me, I know what you think, I am considered a big brother now Brother, so you want me to plead with Big Brother?"

Aunt Xue nodded involuntarily, she really couldn't think of any other way besides this, "Baby girl, don't you want to?"

"It's not that I don't want to, it's that it's impossible for Eldest Brother to promise me this matter," Baochai said, "Think about it, Eldest Brother was with Eighth Elder Brother, and Eldest Elder Brother was arrested by Eighth Elder Brother. How could brother offend Eighth Brother for me, Eighth Brother is very important to Big Brother at this time."

"Then, what should we do? You can't just let your brother be beheaded like this?" Aunt Xue said in a panic.

"Mother, don't worry, I will do my best," Baochai smiled, "As far as I know, the elder brother has always been at odds with the prince, and the relationship between the eighth elder brother and the fourth elder brother is also very bad, so mother If you go to ask Lin Daiyu, the current Sifu Jin, there may be a glimmer of hope for my brother." Although he is not reconciled, Baochai thinks this is the best way, and Prince Yong also very much hopes to defeat his political opponents, although this may be possible. Sex is very small, but there is only one way.

"Girl Lin, no, will Sifujin agree?" Aunt Xue hesitated. Aunt Xue believed Baochai's words just now. No matter how stupid she was, she understood the truth. It's just a woman with no status. How could the elder brother offend the eighth elder brother because of this matter, but the fourth elder brother has always been at odds with the eighth elder brother, but Lin Yatou looks very smart, and she knows their tricks. Can't tell.

"Mother, this is the only way I can come up with," Baochai said, "Although Lin Daiyu has always had a grudge against me, fortunately, my mother didn't do anything to annoy her in Rongguo Mansion. Don’t say that Princess is innocent, those things are useless, I think they already knew about these things, Lin Daiyu had no father and mother in her early years, and it’s the best way to impress her with emotion, begging her.”

"But," Aunt Xue hesitated for a moment before she said, "Girl Lin is now in Prince Yong's Mansion, and that's not a place we can go whenever we want. How can I get in?"

"Nuqin, I know what you're thinking, face is not important now, you just need to think about your brother, she doesn't have much time to wait." Baochai stared at Aunt Xue, and she nodded before she felt relieved , "Our time is running out, I will tell you the way to enter Prince Yong's Mansion, and now what I want to tell you is how to get out of here."

"Get out of here, baby girl, what do you mean?" Aunt Xue asked with some confusion.

"Since Eldest Brother is able to send my mother here, she will definitely not let her leave so easily," Baochai said, "They will never allow my affairs to be spread."

"Then, what should we do?" Aunt Xue said, she can't be trapped here, her son is still waiting for her to rescue.

"Don't worry, mother, I have a solution." After speaking, Xue Baochai smiled mysteriously, charmingly.
