I'm in the Red Mansion

Chapter 111: Aunt Xue is forced into a desperate situation
When Mrs. Wang heard what Lady Jia said, an unwilling look appeared on her face.

In her heart, she still wanted to rescue Xue Pan.

Aunt Xue is not only her biological sister, but she also wants to marry Xue Baochai.

The Xue family is a merchant family with incredible wealth, but Xue Pan is a man who cannot stand on his own.

As long as Xue Baochai is married, most of the Xue family's wealth will belong to Baoyu in the future.

But if the Rongguo Mansion does not come to the rescue this time, I am afraid that the Xue family will develop a rift with them.

I'm afraid the plan to marry Xue Baochai is going to fall through.

What a pity.

However, Mrs. Wang did not dare to disobey Lady Jia.

Besides, Mrs. Wang was also afraid of Prince Yi Zhong’s mansion.

If rescuing Xue Pan leads to revenge from Prince Yi Zhong's mansion, it would be a waste of time and effort.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng had no choice but to nod and leave.

Not long after Mrs. Wang returned home, Aunt Xue came to visit again.

Xue Pan is Aunt Xue's only son and the only child in the Xue family.

If anything happened to Xue Pan, their Xue family would be extinct.

This huge family business will definitely be coveted by other branches.

How could Aunt Xue not be anxious?
After entering the house, Aunt Xue did not bother to exchange pleasantries and asked impatiently, "Sister, how is it? Have you found out why Pan'er was arrested? Is it possible to rescue him?"

Mrs. Wang said with a guilty look on her face, "Sister, don't be anxious. Let me tell you."

"I have found out the reason. My nephew offended Prince Yizhong for some reason."

"Prince Yi Zhong had people investigate the murder case committed by his nephew in Jinling, and then had the housekeeper report it to Jingzhao Prefecture."

"The Jingzhao Prefecture did not dare to neglect it, so they sent people to arrest the nephew."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Xue felt a black screen before her eyes and she almost fell to the ground.

She couldn't help crying out loud, "This evil creature, Cheng Tianjie only knows how to stir up trouble. Why did you mess with the Prince's Mansion when you could mess with anyone else?"

"Think about that prince's mansion, it's the royal family, how can we, the insignificant ones, afford to provoke it? If we provoke it, we will lose our lives in vain!"

At this point, Aunt Xue suddenly knelt down in front of Mrs. Wang and begged:
"Sister, I have never asked you for anything in my life. This time I only ask you to ask the ancestors to save the life of Pan'er, the evil beast."

"As long as Pan'er can be saved, I am willing to give half of my worth to thank you, sister."

"I am the only one left in the Xue family. I beg you to have mercy on me, sister. I beg you to have mercy on me."

Mrs. Wang sighed and helped Aunt Xue up.

"Sister, what are you doing? Get up and talk."

"You and I are born of the same mother and are connected by blood. Isn't your business also my business?"

"As soon as I found out the reason, I went with the master to ask the ancestors for help."

Hearing this, Aunt Xue's heart rose to her throat and she stared at Mrs. Wang nervously without daring to blink.

Mrs. Wang continued, "It's just that my nephew could have offended anyone else, but he had to offend Prince Yi Zhong's mansion."

"The ancestor was in a dilemma for a long time, but he just couldn't twist his arm against his thigh. In the end, the ancestor was helpless."

"She is the ancestor of Rongguo Mansion. She also has to consider the entire Rongguo Mansion."

Hearing this, Aunt Xue's whole body went cold. She asked with a pale face, "Sister, is there no way at all?"

"Sister, can you and your brother-in-law think of a way to save the life of that evil creature?"

Seeing Aunt Xue's situation, Mrs. Wang felt sorry for her.

But in the end, he could only shake his head helplessly.

She really couldn't help with this, nor did she dare to help.

Seeing this, Aunt Xue couldn't help but let out her last breath, closed her eyes, and fell backwards. Fortunately, Mrs. Wang reacted quickly and grabbed Aunt Xue in time.

Mrs. Wang screamed, and the maid who was waiting outside ran in hurriedly and helped her carry Aunt Xue onto the bed.

It took a long time to wake Aunt Xue up.

When Aunt Xue woke up, her face was pale and her eyes were dull.

Mrs. Wang advised for a long time, but Aunt Xue remained silent.

In desperation, Mrs. Wang had to ask a few maids to send Aunt Xue back to Lixiangyuan.

When Xue Baochai saw Aunt Xue's condition, she was horrified.

Xue Baochai sent Aunt Xue back to the room, and saw that Aunt Xue was still as stupid as a clay sculpture or a wooden carving, seemingly ignorant and unconscious.

Xue Baochai couldn't help but hugged Aunt Xue and cried, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Please don't scare me, okay?"

"Now my brother has just been arrested and his life or death is in danger. If something happens to you again, how can I live? Wuuwuwuwu!"

Xue Baochai cried for a long time, and Aunt Xue finally recovered.

She couldn't help but hugged Xue Baochai and burst into tears.

The mother and daughter cried for an unknown amount of time until their voices became hoarse, and then they gradually stopped crying.

Next, Aunt Xue told Xue Baochai the news she had heard from Mrs. Wang.

After hearing this, Xue Baochai also felt cold in her heart.

She said sadly: "Mom, is there nothing else we can do?"

"Although our family is not wealthy, we still have some relatives and friends. Can't we find someone who can help?"

Aunt Xue smiled bitterly and said, "If nothing happens to our family, then they are relatives and old friends. Once something happens, then they are just passers-by."

"If we talk about relationships, aren't we the closest to the Jia family? This time when we came to Beijing, we stayed in their house."

"However, even the Jia family didn't dare to help, let alone other families."

"I can't count on other families anymore, so I'm going to go to the Wang family again and ask your uncle for help."

"If he can help, your brother can still escape with his life. If even your uncle can't help, then..."

Having said this, Aunt Xue couldn't help but burst into tears again.

Xue Baochai hurried to comfort her.

Aunt Xue packed up, took a sedan chair and went out, heading straight to Wang's house.

It was not until the evening that Aunt Xue returned from Wang's house.

Xue Baochai came out to greet her in person.

Seeing Aunt Xue's expression, Xue Baochai sighed secretly and stopped asking.

She and Ying'er helped Aunt Xue back to her room.

Xue Baochai helped Aunt Xue sit down. Aunt Xue suddenly reached out and grabbed Xue Baochai's arm, crying:
"Precious girl, your uncle is also powerless."

"Your brother is already beyond saving. You should prepare for his funeral..."

"woo woo woo woo!"

Xue Baochai and Aunt Xue, mother and daughter, hugged each other and cried bitterly again.

Xue Baochai wanted to persuade Aunt Xue, but she didn't know where to start.

Xue Pan is the only child in their family.

When Xue Pan got into trouble, their family was devastated.

At this moment, Ni Er brought four or five people and entered the capital city in a dusty state.

After returning home, Ni Er hurriedly washed, changed into new clothes, and went straight to Rongguo Mansion.
