I am cultivating immortality in the Red Mansion

Chapter 89
But here comes the problem. Xue Pan was alone without any money and was beaten because he couldn't hand over the money. At least it means that Hong Wenchang is not here at this time.

So where did Hong Wenchang, who left Ningguo Mansion with him, go?
Seeing that the Marquis of Jinxiang couldn't help but want to go up and question him, Jia He quickly grabbed her, sent a guard, and warned: "Don't say you are from the Marquis's mansion, just say that you are here to collect a debt from Uncle Hong." , asked him where Uncle Hong went."

The guard went and exchanged a few words with the pig head with a bruised nose and swollen face, and then came back: "Madam, girl, he said that the prince was at the fifth house on the street next door, saying that he went to smoke. Because he was a stranger. One time he went there, he even asked a young master from another family to take him there."

What kind of smoke requires you to go to the store?Jia He was puzzled.

Zhu’s mother’s face changed dramatically: “It’s probably because of smoking the tobacco leaves of Laoshizi. It’s not a good thing, it can be addictive, and it’s the most harmful thing to the body! That thing is obviously strictly prohibited, how come there are still people doing this kind of business!”

Mrs. Jinxiang Hou was convinced that she had a son. She felt much more at ease, and her thoughts became clearer. She sneered and said: "How dare you drag my son to do such a thing, and their store still wants to survive? Let's go. Put the prince away." Take it out, let’s go home, tell the Marquis again, and flatten that place!”

Thinking that Xue Pan only went to the casino, but instead asked Hong Wenchang to smoke that vicious substance, Mrs. Jinxiang Hou was so angry that her mouth was filled with smoke. She ordered the guards in a hateful voice, pointing at Xue Pan who was staggering about to get up, and said: "Wait a minute. After you send the crown prince back to your home, you find an opportunity to cover his head and give him a good beating. You can't kill him, but you can't spare his life either. Just leave a trace of life. If you can survive, that's it. His creation. If he can’t live, it’s his own fault!”

The guards took orders.Immediately divided into two teams, half of the people escorted Mrs. Hou and Miss Jia Wu back, and the other half did what Mrs. Hou ordered.

When they returned to Ningguo Mansion, everyone had already eaten and went to rest.Only Lin Daiyu was still waiting for Jia He. She took a book and read it in the shade of the tree, calmly and gently.

Jia He smiled from a distance and said, "Sister Lin is so excited. She can still read at this time. She deserves to be called a talented woman."

As soon as Lin Daiyu heard that, she knew it was Sister He who was coming, and sneered without raising her head: "I don't know whether a talented girl is talented or not. But I understand that if someone doesn't eat, they will become a hungry girl, with a hungry stomach and a chest stuck to the back. I can’t walk without carrying it.”

Mrs. Jinxiang Hou couldn't help but smile: "You two sisters are quite interesting."

Only then did Lin Daiyu realize that there were others there and looked over quickly.After seeing it clearly, he put down the book and saluted and said hello: "I've met Madam."

Mrs. Jinxianghou hurriedly helped her up.

Lin Daiyu asked someone to bring the specially left meal to Jia Xuan.Hearing that Mrs. Jinxiang Hou had not eaten either, she smiled and said, "What a coincidence. I left some food for this girl who was wandering around. It is enough for three or four people. If Madam doesn't mind it, why don't we use some together?" .”

Mrs. Jinxiang Hou had seen too much of the world recently. She thought of that bastard Xue Pan and the so-called friendship with the men, and looked at the affection of the girls in front of her. She felt that the girls were cute, so she took Lin Daiyu's hand and said: "Good boy , you are the only one who is thinking about Sister Luo, I would like to thank you on behalf of Sister Luo."

Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "Madam, what are you talking about? She and I are closer than sisters, how can we separate ourselves from each other?"

Mrs. Jinxiang Hou really regarded Sister He as one of her own family members, and she was so angry with that bastard Xue that she just said those words.Thinking about it now, it seems that what he said was inappropriate, so he smiled and said: "What you said makes sense. Today I will eat your meal, and tomorrow I will cook and invite you to my house to eat."

Jia He knew that Mrs. Hou was in a bad mood today and made a slip of the tongue, so he deliberately said angrily: "You only invite her but not me. You are very partial and I won't obey."

Mrs. Jinxiang Hou laughed loudly: "Why don't you have a share? I hope you come every day! Then I will arrange the time for you and Miss Lin to come. I will make sure you eat and drink well."

The matter was settled.After the meal, Mrs. You had already heard that Mrs. Hou was back, so she got up and dressed up and came over to greet her.

The Marquis of Jinxiang said, "I won't bother you. I'm sorry for leaving you without saying goodbye. If I hadn't thought of saying goodbye to you before, I wouldn't have disturbed your lunch break and gone home directly. Thinking about it later, I was not polite enough to come back to bother you."

Youshi hurriedly said: "You are too polite, there is no need to be like this."

Mrs. Jinxiang Hou said goodbye, and Jia He and Lin Daiyu went to rest with the girls.

That night, there was chaos in Lixiangyuan, and three or four groups of doctors were invited to the courtyard overnight.

Both Rongguo Mansion and Black Throttle sent people to ask with concern what was going on and who was sick.Xue Baochai only said that she was not feeling well and asked everyone not to worry.

But on the second day, many people had already heard that Xue Pan was carried back to Lixiangyuan last night.At that time, I only had one breath left, and I was breathing out more than I was breathing in.I don’t know if I can survive.

Aunt Pianxue searched all night and didn't know who beat him up like this. At most, she only heard that today he provoked a gambling house run by someone under the Prince of Xining County. After lamenting, she could only swallow her anger and stop asking any more questions.

"That's right!" Xichun said to the sisters in private: "Xue Jiugui has done too many evil things, so he deserves this kind of retribution!"

Several people quietly echoed.

For many days after that, Xue Baochai did not come to Rongguo Mansion to play with her sisters. She only stayed with her mother and took care of her brother in the yard.It seems that Xue Pan was too seriously injured and still couldn't get up.

The sisters were very happy when they found out. From time to time they would go over to accompany Xue Baochai for a while, in fact, to make sure that Xue Pan's life was very unsatisfactory.

A few days later, the day before the scheduled date to invite Jia Huo and Lin Daiyu, Mrs. Jinxiang suddenly said that she could not invite them because of something else.The specific reason was not stated.

Jia He felt something was wrong, so he sent Chun Zhi to inquire about it.

After Chunzhi came back, she said: "No one told me this. I remember that Zhu's mother liked the girl very much, so I tried to find a way to meet Zhu's mother. She said that someone was killed, so she had no time to spare."

Zhu’s mother hesitated when she told Haru Zhi, but Haru Zhi listened half-understood and was a little confused when she told the original words: “It was said that a boy died, and everything in the back yard was ruined. Everyone thought it was the man who had been out of tune recently. The prince did it, but Mrs. Hou thinks it’s not the case, but she has no evidence.”

Jia He was shocked when he heard this. After thinking for a moment, he said to Guo's mother: "If you find someone to go to the Hou Mansion, it means that I am a guest and Miss Lin has something to do and can't go. If Mrs. Hou refuses, just say that I don't trust her." , I have to go and have a look, she will definitely agree."
