I'm in the Red Mansion

Chapter 117: Deep Grace
Xue Baochai hurried forward to support Aunt Xue. At this time, Xue Pan also walked into the room.

Aunt Xue pushed Xue Baochai away, rushed over, hugged Xue Pan tightly, and burst into tears.

The mother and son cried for a long time before gradually stopping.

Aunt Xue pulled Xue Pan aside and asked, "Pan'er, why are you back? Did you escape from prison?"

Xue Pan said loudly: "Mom, why did I escape from prison? It was all thanks to Brother Cong. It was Brother Cong who rescued me."

Aunt Xue pulled Xue Pan aside and asked, "Pan'er, what happened? How did Cong rescue you? Tell me quickly."

Xue Pan immediately recounted how Jia Cong stopped Prime Minister Kou's sedan chair in the street, how he sued the Jingzhao Yin, Jia Yucun, and Prince Yi Zhong, and how Prime Minister Kou tried the case.

The description was vivid and exaggerated.

In fact, Xue Pan only listened to Jia Cong's brief description, and he himself only had a vague understanding of it.

But you can't help but think and say whatever he wants, and what comes out of his mouth is even more dramatic and thrilling than the real experience.

After hearing this, Aunt Xue felt both scared and surprised.

The happy thing was naturally that Xue Pan was rescued.

What I’m afraid of is that if Cong Ge’er hadn’t taken action, Pan’er’s life would have been in danger.

Aunt Xue couldn't help but ask Jia Cong, "Brother Cong, how did you come up with the idea of ​​sending people to Jinling to investigate this case?"

When asked this by Aunt Xue, even Xue Pan became curious and couldn't help but look at Jia Cong.

Jia Cong said, "In fact, when I heard about Brother Xue's murder, I felt that Jia Yucun's handling of the case was inappropriate. I also felt that Feng Yuan died three days after being carried back, so there might be something fishy going on."

"Afterwards, I met Brother Xue and felt that he was a man of character. I thought that this case of Brother Xue might be used as a handle by others."

"I thought it was always better to be prepared, so I quietly sent someone to Jinling to investigate the case. I didn't expect that there was indeed something else going on in the case."

"It just so happened that I saved Brother Xue because of this. Brother Xue was very lucky and was destined to escape this disaster."

Hearing this, Aunt Xue could not help but grab Jia Cong's hand and said, "My son, thanks to Pan'er's good fortune, he has made a brother like you, Cong'er."

"If it weren't for you, Pan'er would have been... in danger of losing his life!"

"My son, if you save Pan'er, you are saving our Xue family! This kindness will be remembered by our Xue family for generations to come."

As she spoke, Aunt Xue was about to kneel down and kowtow to Jia Cong to express her gratitude.

Panicked, Jia Cong quickly grabbed Aunt Xue and said, "Aunt, what are you doing? Get up quickly, don't ruin my fortune."

At this time, Xue Pan said loudly beside him: "Mom, you are the elder, how can an elder kowtow to a younger person?"

"I'll kowtow to Brother Cong for you!"

After saying this, he really kowtowed to Jia Cong.

Jia Cong hurriedly pulled Xue Pan up from the ground and said, "Brother Xue, what are you doing?"

Aunt Xue said from the side: "Brother Cong, you don't have to pull him. You saved his life, and he deserves to kowtow to you."

"And what are you saying, you evil creature? What do you mean by kowtow to Brother Cong on my behalf? Are you kowtow for me? You are kowtow for yourself!"

Hearing Aunt Xue's words, Xue Pan laughed out loud.

Jia Cong was both happy and sad to see the family meet, and he thought they had a lot to say.

Jia Cong stood up and said goodbye.

Aunt Xue did not try to persuade him to stay. After thanking him again and again, she added that after they had settled down in a few days, she would set up a table and invite him to be the host so that she could thank him properly.

Jia Cong readily agreed.

After Jia Cong left, Aunt Xue burst into tears again. She held Xue Pan's hand and told him what had happened in the past few days.

"My son, you don't know. These past few days, Mom has been begging people everywhere, but most of them won't even see her."

"The rest, even if they met, would not dare to go against the Prince's Mansion."

"Mom has given up the idea of ​​saving you. She just thinks you are doomed. Your family is already preparing for your funeral."

"Who would have thought that Cong Ge'er would be so righteous and actually rescue you."

"You should change your ways in the future, and never cause trouble like this again."

"After this incident, Mom lost half her life. If it happens again, I'm afraid I'll be the first to die."

Hearing Aunt Xue's words, Xue Pan couldn't help crying and said, "Mom, from now on, I will change."

"As the breadwinner of the family, not only can I not share the worries of my mother and sister, but I also make them worry about me. Am I still a human being?"

"From now on, I will never cause trouble again and won't let my mother and sister worry about me!"

"By the way, Mom, since I'm in trouble, the Jia family just stood by and refused to help."

"They might want us to move out of their house as soon as possible to avoid bringing trouble to their family."

"In that case, there's no point in us living here anymore. We might as well move out as soon as possible."

"It's not like we don't have a house in the capital, so we can live without them."

"From now on, he will go his way, and we will go our way. We can just pretend that he is not our relative."

In Aunt Xue's heart, didn't she feel resentful towards the Jia family for not helping them?

She also thought about moving away from the Jia family.

But now that Xue Pan has returned, Aunt Xue doesn't want to leave anymore.

After hesitating for a while, Aunt Xue finally said, "Pan'er, your aunt's family also has its own difficulties."

"After all, they are a big family. It's not that they don't want to help, but they just have no choice..."

Xue Pan turned his head and said angrily: "They have their own difficulties, don't you think Brother Cong has his own difficulties?"

"If Brother Ruo Cong also has his own difficulties, will I still be alive?"

"If you want to live here, you can live here. I won't live here for another day. I'm moving out now!"

After saying this, Xue Pan stood up and was about to leave.

Aunt Xue said angrily, "You evil creature, Mom didn't say we wouldn't move out. Even if we want to move out, we have to wait until the yard is cleaned up before we move out, right?"

"Just wait a few days. I'll order someone to clean up the house and move out after it's done. Will it be too late?"

Xue Pan thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'll stay for a few more days. I'll definitely move out once I'm done packing."

Xue Pan suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but say, "Mom, Brother Cong saved my life. Although he doesn't want to repay me, we can't not repay him, right?"

"Brother Cong is not short of money now, so it would be tacky to give him money as a gift."

"My murder case was caused by Xiangling. How about giving this girl to Cong?"

When Aunt Xue heard Xue Pan say that he wanted to give Xiangling to Jia Cong, she felt reluctant.

Aunt Xue loved this girl very much and she didn't want Xue Pan to abuse her and not cherish her.

Aunt Xue personally took Xiangling in by her side, intending to let Xiangling become Xue Pan's household member when she had the chance in the future.
