Chapter 398 Why did Jia Yucun come out?
"My son, I want to ask because I know this is the entrance to the Dali Temple."
"Jia Yucun has been released. What is the case about? What is the case about your brother? He can't be found now!"
"No one is found alive, no body is found after death, there is no news at all. Mother feels heartbroken every time she thinks about it!"
When talking about Xue Pan, Aunt Xue's eyes immediately became moist and she burst into tears.
Xue Baochai also felt heavy-hearted.
"Mom! We don't understand the situation, so we can't ask here."
"Then what do you think we should do?" Aunt Xue felt a little panicked.
There have been a lot of things going on recently, so I didn't ask about it in detail because there was no news.
Unexpectedly, Jia Yucun also came out.
"Mom, we should hold back now and go back first. Let the family take care of things and find out what's going on."
"My brother was missing at the time. Didn't we report his disappearance in Shuntian Prefecture? Let's go to Shuntian Prefecture and ask about it."
Aunt Xue was a little hesitant. She was afraid that she would lose this opportunity and it would be difficult to see Jia Yucun again.
The mother and daughter were arguing when Xue Ke, who was in the sedan chair behind them, came over.
"Aunt, I'll go over and ask."
"Just treat him as an old acquaintance from Jinling."
"I met him once or twice in Jinling before."
Aunt Xue nodded quickly, "Good child, go over there and speak nicely."
“Ask what’s going on?
Any news about your brother?
"Has there been any change in the case?"
Aunt Xue kept giving instructions one by one, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
At the same time, she wiped her tears and added, "If you need to spend money, tell me."
Xue Ke nodded in agreement.
Then he led a servant and went straight towards the crowd.
Aunt Xue, Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin stared at Xue Ke's back.
Watch him walk into the crowd and greet Jia Yucun.
Jia Yucun seemed very surprised and turned to look in their direction.
Only then did Xue Baochai see Jia Yucun's face clearly. He was a middle-aged man with an imposing manner.
It seemed that he exchanged a few words with Xue Ke, and then Xue Ke came back.
When Xue Ke left the sedan chair, Aunt Xue asked eagerly, "What did you say?"
Xue Ke frowned and said to Aunt Xue, "Aunt, I just asked, and there is no result yet on my brother's case."
"Then why did he come out?" Aunt Xue raised her voice and asked.
Xue Ke subconsciously glanced at Aunt Xue, and then continued to reply,
"Aunt, I seemed to hear someone in the crowd say that he was going to try some major case?"
Aunt Xue may have realized that her tone just now was wrong, so she lowered her voice again and said sadly,
"His case has not been judged yet, how can he come out and try other cases?"
The Xue family members were silent, and no one could answer her question.
But Xue Baochai frowned slightly and thought for a moment, "Mother! I think I may know!"
Aunt Xue heard this and grabbed Xue Baochai's hand, "My son, tell me."
Xue Baochai's palms could not help but sweat, "Mother, Jia Yucun's status is different now."
"He was once Lin Daiyu and Lin Yongan's mentor. Do you think he would not recognize the new one?"
"You mean, it was the new one who let him out?"
"What should we do? What about your brother?" Aunt Xue was so anxious that she was a little at a loss.
Xue Baochai sighed again and comforted Aunt Xue.
"Mother, you are mistaken. Jia Yucun has nothing to do with my brother's disappearance. There is no point in accusing him."
"On the contrary, it might be a good thing that he came out."
Aunt Xue patted Xue Baochai's hand in surprise and said, "My son, please tell me in detail, what is this good news?"
Xue Baochai glanced in the direction of the Dali Temple again.
"Mom! Now that he has a different status, if he wants to really get promoted."
"First, he has to clear himself. Then he has to get to the bottom of his brother's case and make it clear."
"Isn't this matter being monitored by the Imperial Censor?"
After saying this, Xue Baochai felt a heavy cloud hanging over her heart.
If the case is clear, then even if my brother comes back, won't he still be charged with murder?
With a brother who is a murderer, what future does he have?
She buried this deep in her heart and did not say it out loud.
The drizzle continued to wet the ground, and the Xue family's sedan chair set off again. This time, no one said a word until they reached their home.
……
The Jia family of Ningrong Street,
Everyone returned home with a grim face, and only when they were surrounded by chairs in Rongqing Hall did they feel a little safe.
After everyone rested for about a quarter of an hour, their faces calmed down a little.
But I was just a little tired.
And Jia's mother picked up the cup of tea and took a few gulps.
I finally caught my breath.
She wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.
He said to the people sitting below,
"You all saw what happened today."
"Who else wants to go with me tomorrow?"
Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent.
It was such a shame today, they had never felt so defeated before.
After being a master, a young master, or a lady for so many years,
Get people kicked out.
He is just like a lost dog.
"Mother! I..." Jia Zheng clenched his fists, and the wrinkles on his forehead became deeper.
"I want to go to the government office tomorrow. After all, I'm still on duty at the Ministry of Industry."
"It is always right to be careful in your duties."
"It would be so embarrassing if my colleagues saw me like this."
It was particularly difficult for Jia Zheng to say this because I am a grown man.
Face is as important as the sky. How can I ask for help from others?
If a woman loses face, it can also be said that it is the wife who loses face and does not know the rules.
However, it is indeed unfilial to let your old mother work hard.
Normally, it should be Mrs. Wang who goes to apologize to Jia Min, kowtow, and then the matter is over.
Jia Min is a soft-hearted person.
But, this Madam Wang...
Thinking of this, he glanced at Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang looked like a wooden sculpture or clay figurine, indeed boring and incompetent.
Mrs. Xing, who was standing by, also looked around at the faces of the people. She also wanted to retreat.
The main reason is that I have no children. Who are I working so hard for?
And I also have an excuse to take care of the master.
But she looked at Lady Jia's face and backed off.
This face is so ugly.
His face was ashen!
At this moment, Mrs. Wang raised her head, her eyes like a net, catching everyone's gaze.
"Tomorrow, I'll go, mother!"
"I'm going to kowtow to Jia Min!"
"Let her keep the Jia family safe."
When Mrs. Xing saw that Mrs. Wang had expressed her opinion, she did not want to fall behind.
So he said generously, "Mom! I'll go too. If I go to my eldest sister-in-law's place, I'm not afraid."
"It's just that the Nan'an Palace is too abominable. They got a pair of big-headed soldiers holding dog-beating sticks."
"What is this for?"
Grandmother Jia first breathed a sigh of relief, then she looked at her son with disappointment.
Then he said,
"Tonight, Jia Min should know that we have been there."
"It depends on whether she will be there tomorrow?"
