Chapter 378 Helping Aunt Xue
When Aunt Xue saw him coming, she quickly asked Tongxi to help her sit up, and Tonggui brought a pillow to cushion her.

Only then did Jia Wei stop thinking about it and greet Aunt Xue.

"Brother, there are criminals committing crimes in the capital city, right under the feet of the emperor. You have to help Ke'er!"

Aunt Xue’s mature face turned pale, and her chest heaved with anger.

Jia Wei's eyes lit up. No wonder Baochai was so talented. It turned out to be hereditary...

"My mother-in-law is frightened. Those scoundrels are so bold and daring. I have already sent people to arrest them and I will definitely give Xue Ke an explanation."

"Okay!" Xue Dasha clapped his hands. "Brother-in-law, you are an officer of the Jinyiwei. How can you let others bully your family? When we catch them, let me punch them a few times to vent Xue Ke's anger!"

Jia Wei said calmly, "I have had those scoundrels arrested and taken to the imperial prison. Will you come with us?"

"Imperial Prison?"

Xue Pan's face turned pale in an instant, and the bloody scenes and those bad memories resurfaced...

Xue Pan was a spoiled child who had never suffered from hardship since childhood. The time he spent in the imperial prison had left an indelible mark on his life, so much so that now he behaved properly when he saw Jia Wei...

"Forget it, forget it. I won't go to the imperial prison." Xue Pan took a step back and said with a wry smile, "Brother-in-law, you can do it."

After saying that, Xue Pan went out of the house directly: "I'll go see Xue Ke and listen to what the doctor says. Don't let him get hurt!"

Jia Wei ignored her and looked at Aunt Xue and said, "To be on the safe side, please ask your mother-in-law to stay at my mansion temporarily. Once I have settled this matter properly, you can move back."

Aunt Xue said quickly: "Okay!"

Those thugs committed the crime directly in front of the Xue family's gate. Of course, the door was still open. If the thugs broke into the house, the consequences would be disastrous.

Those hooligans are brave and aggressive. If they break into the house, is there anything they dare not do?
Of course Aunt Xue was terrified, to the point of being terrified just thinking about it.

If Jia Wei had not suggested that she move into the Marquis' Mansion temporarily, she would have asked Jia Wei to leave a team of personal guards behind to protect her.

Aunt Xue looked happy to go, and immediately ordered, "Tongxi, serve tea to the son-in-law; Tonggui, go pack the luggage."

The two maids agreed, one went out, and the other went to the back room.

Aunt Xue raised Xue Pan and Baochai alone. She loved her daughter Baochai very much and was happy to live with her.

Besides, now that the Xue family is in trouble, they must get closer to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.

They were delighted and offered tea. They also went to the back room, brought out a wooden box, and filled it with clothes and jewelry.

Aunt Xue sat on the couch, her hands on her temples, her face full of worry, and she couldn't stop sighing.

Jia Wei found a seat near his mother-in-law and sat down, and asked with concern: "Mother-in-law, do you still have any doubts? Why not speak up?"

Aunt Xue raised her eyes and looked at Jia Wei with her pair of warm almond-shaped eyes. She sighed again: "Pan'er's marriage has just begun to take shape, and now the Xue family has suffered another disaster... Alas!"

Jia Wei thought for a moment, "Mother-in-law, I wonder which family this girl is from?"

Aunt Xue said, "It's the Xia family of Guihua, who is in charge of the palace's bonsai display and tribute. I wonder if you have heard of it?"

Of course Jia Wei knew, he also knew that the girl's name was Xia Jingui.

Moreover, the Xia family manages the Osmanthus Bureau inside and outside the Shenjing City. It is a top imperial merchant and one of the highlights of Jianning's establishment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In the Shenjing City, the Osmanthus Xia family is also famous as a large landlord and a wealthy man.

"Of course I have heard of the Guihua Xia family." Aunt Xue nodded, "My son-in-law is one of my own, I won't hide it from you. Although the Xia family is not as powerful as the Jia family, it is not easy for me to marry into Pan'er's family..."

"Besides, I heard that the girl from the Xia family is talented and beautiful, and I think she has a good personality, probably like the girl from the West Mansion. And the Xia family has no sons, only an only daughter..."

The only daughter means that all the wealth of the Xia family will be taken to the son-in-law's home as a dowry.

When Jia Wei heard this, he almost laughed out loud.

Is she not of bad character, like the girl from West Mansion?
This is the disadvantage of arranged marriages in today's era. Even the parents who have the decision-making power don't know what the other party's daughter is like. Good or bad depends entirely on luck.

Although Jia Wei knew that Xia Jingui was not a good person, he still had the nerve to remind Aunt Xue.

If he got involved in this matter, he would inevitably be implicated. It would be troublesome if Aunt Xue asked him to arrange a marriage for Xue Pan.

Anyway, it is the Xue family that is unlucky. At worst, Aunt Xue will get upset and move to his mansion. It is not a big deal.

"In that case, this is also a good marriage. Mother-in-law should give more gift money to the matchmaker." Jia Wei said with a smile.

Hearing this, Aunt Xue's face was not happy at all: "It's good, but once this incident gets out, the Xue family will lose face. Will the Xia family still be willing to marry their daughter to them when they see that even the thugs dare to come to their house and beat them up?"

Aunt Xue sighed again and stood up to go inside to take a look, but her legs became weak from lying down for so long and she fell to the side!

Jia Wei was startled when he saw this and rushed over immediately.

Aunt Xue almost screamed out loud, but was bumped into a strong embrace and was startled!
Jia Wei was also shocked. Why did he hit someone with the ball?
He held Aunt Xue's soft back with one hand and wrapped the other around her slender waist, only then did he hold her firmly and have time to feel her carefully.

Aunt Xue had been a widow for more than ten years. When she suddenly smelled the scent of a man, her mind went blank and her face was burning. She looked up with a dull expression, her lips moved slightly, and her watery eyes met Jia Wei's.

Aunt Xue opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say. She only heard Jia Wei say softly, "Don't worry, mother-in-law. I'll take care of everything."

In an instant, it was like a raging storm. After Aunt Xue became a widow, she was like a widow, raising her children and managing the Xue family's ancestral business alone. But Xue Pan was a useless person. How could she have anyone to rely on?
Without waiting for her to think more, Jia Wei hugged her, put her back on the couch and sat her down before withdrawing his hand.

"Mother-in-law, pack your luggage first. I'll go and see how Xue Ke is injured."

Aunt Xue's breathing quickened. She lowered her head to avoid Jia Wei's sight and awkwardly tucked her drooping hair behind her ears.

"it is good……"

Jia Wei turned around and walked out, but his expression was very interesting, and he was still savoring that soft body.

"This scene is a bit like Boss Cao helping Empress Dowager He..."

Jia Wei went straight to Xue Ke's room with a smile on his face. But he saw Aunt Xue sitting there blankly behind him, still looking a little dazed...

When he arrived at Xue Ke's place, Jia Wei saw that Xue Ke was covered with wounds, but they were only superficial injuries and he only needed to rest for two months.

Jia Wei asked about the details of the conflict in detail and was further convinced that this was not just a case of hooligans looking for trouble.

Jia Wei said, "Take good care of him. You have done things for me and suffered misfortune, so I will certainly not treat you unfairly."

Xue Ke sighed and said, "Brother-in-law, my injuries are not serious. It's just that I failed to live up to your trust in opening an ice cream parlor in Southern Province..."

Jia Wei shook his head and said, "Making money is not a big deal. For now, we can only let Jia Yun go south. You should take good care of him first..."
