The Heavens Begin with Dream of the Red Chamber

Chapter 141 Desperate
Let’s not talk about the grievances and hatred between Ping’er and Wang Xifeng for now, and just talk about Master Zhan, who watched Jia Yucun’s arrangements coldly.

Frankly speaking, if it were an ordinary robber, it would be extremely difficult, almost impossible, to escape from the tight net of Shuntian Prefecture.

But the problem is that the kidnapper this time is a cheater.

"Master Lian, don't worry. With such a large box and so much silver, even if they were taken away in batches, it would not be something that just three or five people could do. It must be a gang operation, and they would definitely not escape the eyes of the ambush."

"Even if Shuntian Prefecture may not be able to rescue Second Madam Lian immediately, they will definitely not let the silver be lost."

Jia Yucun comforted Jia Lian with confidence, which finally made Mr. Lian feel much more at ease.

The plan was not hidden from him at all, so there was no way he could go wrong.

After everything was ready, Jia Yucun waved his hand and ordered to set off. A large cart loaded with thousands of pounds of silver went out of the city.

Jiang Dairong brought three shifts of yamen runners, as well as personnel borrowed from the Beijing camp, and ambushed in batches on different sections of the road, waiting for the thieves to fall into his trap.

Master Zhan disappeared and sat on the carriage carrying the silver. He followed the team to the destination and watched them unload the silver boxes and place them in the designated woods.

After watching everyone leave, Master Zhan walked over with a smile, transformed the silver into light tinfoil ingots, then put them in his sleeves and left with them.

His figure was invisible when he came and went, and the thousand-pound weight was gone, so he didn't even leave a footprint. The people who were following outside didn't notice it at all and just stood there foolishly waiting for the thief to come and take the silver.

Jiang Dairong waited until the sun set. He thought the thieves would not come, so he sent people into the forest to check. Only then did he realize that all the silver was lost!

This is trouble!
Although tens of thousands of taels of silver were not a huge sum for the Rongguo Mansion, they were not something that could be easily spent to squander.

Before, Jia Yucun was full of confidence and guaranteed that the silver would never be lost and that the thief would be caught if he dared to come. As a result, the thief has not been caught and the money is gone. How is he going to explain this?
Sure enough, after the news was passed back, Jia Lian was the first to explode.

Mrs. Wang refused to take money from the mansion, and the ten thousand taels of silver were all Jia Lian's own money. Now, Jia Lian was almost bankrupt.

"Snapped!"

Jia Lian angrily threw the teacup to the ground and yelled at Jia Yucun:
"How did you promise me before?"

"Didn't you say it was foolproof?"

Jia Yucun had a bitter face and couldn't say a word.

He thought hard but couldn't figure out how the silver was taken away!

There were at least hundreds of people watching from afar around the forest. It was impossible for him to escape even with wings, but at least it was impossible for him to lose the silver without making any sound.

Jiang Dairong went to the scene to investigate and found that there was no tunnel in the forest and no place to hide the silver.

Now the yamen runners of Shuntian Prefecture have almost turned the forest upside down, but they still cannot find the whereabouts of the silver.

The arrest of people in the surrounding prefectures and counties went very smoothly, and most of the people on the list were arrested. However, Jia Yucun himself knew that these arrested people could only be used as scapegoats and could not be the real culprits of the kidnapping case. Only those who had already escaped could be the kidnappers.

I finally got around to handling a case, but ended up with a half-baked mess. It turns out that handling a case seriously is a thankless task, and I still have to use official tactics to deal with it!
After Jia Yucun sighed inwardly, he gave up the idea of ​​catching the thief seriously and said to Jia Lian:
"Master Lian, I'm afraid this case is a case of collusion between insiders and outsiders!"

"What do you mean?"

Jia Yucun then said nonsense:
"Think about it, it's true that the kidnapper is Second Madam Lian's enemy, but Second Madam Lian wanted to go to Tianqi Temple that day. It was a spur-of-the-moment decision, but the kidnapper had been waiting on the road for a long time."

"Someone in the mansion must have tipped off the kidnappers. Otherwise, there are dozens of roads outside the city. Who knows which road Second Madam Lian took?"

"Looking at what happened today, Master Lian also knew about our plan. It was not perfect, but it was not something that ordinary thieves could escape. But in the end, we didn't even see the shadow of those thieves, and the silver was lost."

"I guess that one of the people who are spying outside must have been bribed and is in cahoots with the thieves!"

"Hiss..." Jia Lian took a breath of cold air. The more he thought about it, the more it made sense. "Then according to your opinion, what should we do?"

"We have to catch this traitor, otherwise no matter what we do, the thief will be on guard."

"Hmm... That makes sense. How can we check it?"

Jia Yucun then hinted:
"Has there been any special incidents in your residence recently? Have you had any conflicts with anyone?"

Jia Lian lowered his head and thought, "That should be the previous gold sand swap incident. There is nothing special about it... You mean, those who were punished in the mansion are resentful, so they communicated with the outsiders, thinking of revenge?"

But Jia Yucun shook his head and said:
"These servants may be involved, but with their status, they may be able to tip off the kidnappers. However, it is not something that ordinary servants can do to bribe the yamen runners or soldiers to let them go and watch the silver being taken away. There must be a mastermind with a higher status behind it."

"Someone of higher status?" Jia Lian was stunned, not knowing who could have done this.

Jia Yucun then analyzed:

"This person has to travel a lot, so that he can have connections with these people in the underworld and get in touch with them."

The implication of this was very clear, and Jia Lian was immediately shocked, "Are you referring to... Master Xue II?"

Jia Yucun stroked his beard and said in a businesslike manner:
"I heard that the Xue family and the mansion had a dispute because of the gold sand swap case, and were eventually forced to move out. I think Mr. Xue must be very upset."

"Besides, the ransom the thief asked for was exactly 10,000 taels of gold, which is exactly the amount of gold sand that the Xue family lost."

"I think Mr. Xue wants to make up for the losses in the Jia Mansion through this method."

"He has lived in the mansion for a long time and is very familiar with everyone there. He certainly knows which people to win over. He also has the money and ability to win over the yamen runners and soldiers who are doing the work, so that they turn a blind eye to certain actions."

After hearing what Jia Yucun said, Jia Lian began to believe it. He immediately stood up in anger, slammed the table and cursed:
"How brave!"

"My family has never owed him anything, how dare he do this?"

Jia Yucun fanned the flames and said:
"That's what you think, but I'm afraid Mr. Xue doesn't think so."

"He probably thinks that the gold sand substitution case was done by someone from your Jia Mansion, and that they only stole his gold."

Jia Lian was so angry that he shouted:

"That was clearly done by one of his own traitors. How can he blame us?"

Seeing that Jia Lian had fallen into his trap, Jia Yucun began to test him:

"I wanted to arrest him and interrogate him, but I was worried that some old friends of the Xue family in the court might come and cause trouble..."

Jia Lian was now worried about his own money and his wife, so his mind was already in a mess. He immediately said:
"Just enforce the law impartially, and I'll see who dares to interfere!"

After hearing this, Jia Yucun was afraid that he would go back on his word, so he got up and said goodbye immediately. After returning to the yamen, he immediately issued an order without saying a word and sent people to arrest someone at Master Xue's house.

After the bailiffs received the order and left, Jia Yucun immediately returned to his study and began to draft a memorial to report to his superiors, striving to characterize the case as a "personal vendetta" in order to appease the officials.

Only when the bigwigs in the court no longer worried about this matter and stopped paying attention to it, would he dare to let go and look for scapegoats.

He carefully weighed his words and considered how to weave a story so that people in the court would believe it, and the Xue family would be in big trouble.

After leaving the Jia Mansion, Mr. Xue II learned from his mistakes, gave up his unrealistic dreams, and prepared to continue working on his business as an imperial merchant.

He knew that his imperial merchant business was a huge pitfall with many hidden dangers. He did not want to get involved personally, but he was reluctant to give up the benefits brought by the imperial merchant business, so he made another wishful plan.

Originally, Master Xue II was a man who was good at dealing with people. Over the past few days, he had already figured out the background of all the royal merchants in the capital.

He didn't plan to take over the Xue family's title of imperial merchant, but he was keeping his eyes on other family's imperial merchant qualifications.

He chose a target, a man named Xia, who was in the osmanthus business and was also a royal merchant family listed in the Ministry of Revenue. They were extremely wealthy and owned dozens of hectares of land outside the city specifically for growing osmanthus, which they provided exclusively for the royal family and bonsai for display in the palace. They also managed the osmanthus bureaus inside and outside Chang'an City and were known as the "Osmanthus Xia Family."

The most important thing is that the Xia family has no children, only a young lady, who is only seventeen years old this year. She is quite pretty, but can only read and write.

The master of the Xia family had died of illness long ago, and the family had no brothers, so the widowed mother was alone with her daughter, pampering her and doting on her, treating her like a treasure. She followed her daughter's every move.

In other words, by marrying into the Xia family, not only would the Xue family be able to obtain the status of an imperial merchant, but the Xia family's immense wealth would also become part of the Xue family's possession.

Even though there are still many relatives in the Xia family, the relationship is distant and it is inconvenient for them to interfere in many matters. With the means used by the Xue family, they can easily empty the Xia family in ten or eight years.

So Master Xue II took Xue Ke to visit the Xia family frequently, and his attitude was very obvious.

Xue Ke himself is a handsome man with a lot of fun. If he uses the tricks of Zouma Zhangtai, how can an ordinary woman escape?

The young lady of the Xia family, whose name was Jingui, was so attracted to him in a short time that they were almost discussing marriage.

At this point, the rest of the matter is no longer up to the mistress of the Xia family.

Although Mrs. Xia was somewhat aware that the Xue family had ill intentions, she could not bear the fact that her daughter had long been outgoing and was making mischief at home all day long, and she would not marry anyone but Xue Ke.

With no other options, Mrs. Xia had to accept the Xue family's proposal and arranged a marriage for the two of them, waiting for an auspicious day to get married.

Who knew that before this happy event could happen, disaster would strike from the sky.

Master Xue and his sons, as well as many of the household managers, were all arrested by the government, leaving Baoqin the only one in charge of the family.

As a woman, she was unfamiliar with the people and affairs of the capital, and it was not convenient for her to run around, so she had to ask someone to send a message to the Xia family, hoping that the Xia family would use their connections in the capital to rescue the person.

After Mrs. Xia got the news, she hurriedly asked the steward to find familiar officials to use their connections to try to rescue the person.

But Jia Yucun was cruel and ruthless. In order to protect his own official hat, he immediately started to fabricate charges against the man after arresting him.

He also knew that it was not easy to torture the Xue father and son, so he had the Xue family's managers and servants severely tortured.

Under Sanmu, there is nothing you can't ask for. In just one night, some people could not bear the torture and were forced to confess whatever they were told.

Thus, a complete story was made up.

The Xue family lost a large amount of gold in the Rongguo Mansion and their capital chain was broken, so they bore a grudge against the Rongguo Mansion, secretly colluded with thieves, kidnapped the young mistress of the Rongguo Mansion, and used it to extort gold and silver to make up for the deficit.

Jia Yucun even had someone dig up 10,000 taels of dirty silver that had been used to pay the ransom for the Jia family from the Xue family. Anyway, the silver all looked the same, and once it was put into the box, no one could tell whether the silver belonged to the Jia family or the Xue family.

There are both witnesses and evidence, and the evidence is conclusive. Except that the thieves have lost contact and cannot rescue the hostages, everything else is perfect, which means that the case has been solved.

In this era, solving a case is so easy. What matters is that homicide cases must be solved and major cases must be solved quickly. What is highlighted is that the mirror is hanging high and the law is long.

Now that the case has been solved, the criminal cannot be released. If a prince breaks the law, he should be punished the same as the common people!
But the Xia family was not an ordinary family. After using many favors, they finally persuaded Magistrate Jia to show mercy and spread the word that as long as the second master Xue confessed and told the truth about his crimes, and if his son was not involved in the case, then Xue Ke could be released.

After the middleman passed the news back, Xia Jingui immediately sent someone to tell Xue Baoqin to persuade Master Xue Er to confess and rescue Xue Ke.

She only cares about her fiancé Xue Ke. As for her father-in-law and the like, whether he lives or dies is none of her business!

But Baoqin can't help but care!
That's her biological father!

Although this father was very materialistic and always used his daughter as a bargaining chip to gain benefits, and never cared about his daughter's happiness when choosing a husband, Baoqin had no choice but to save him!

Baoqin knew very well that a woman's future would be greatly influenced by the influence of her natal family.

Since the Xue family is well-off, she will naturally be valued by her husband's family. Otherwise, she will definitely be neglected.

If this branch of her family was in decline now, based on her understanding of those uncles and aunts, there would be no one who would help them in times of need, and there would be many who would take advantage of their misfortunes.

By then, let alone marrying a good husband, even if she wanted to be someone's concubine, most of them would be old men in their seventies or eighties.

But what can she do in this situation?

Although she was very sure that her family had never done these things, who would believe it now that there was evidence?

Baoqin hurried to the Jia Mansion, wanting to explain everything, but when she arrived at the gate, she was stopped by the doorman.

"Hey, isn't this Miss Xue?" "Are you back to check out the place?"

When the people around heard this, they immediately burst into laughter, and their eyes flickered around Baoqin with sly eyes, without any of their previous respectful and fawning attitude.

The matter of Shuntian Prefecture had already been reported to Rongguo Mansion. Although this group of people had taken a lot of money from the Xue family, they were in a different situation now and the way to survive was to go along with the rich and powerful. They had no psychological burden at all when it came to stepping on Baoqin.

Baoqin's expression changed several times in an instant, but she didn't dare to offend them, so she could only smile and say:
"Please help us inform the elder brothers that Xue Baoqin wants to see the ancestor."

She had always been favored by Lady Jia, and she also knew that Lady Jia's words were the most influential in the Jia family, so she thought about whether she could persuade Lady Jia, so as not to take people's lives lightly and delay the rescue of Lian's second sister-in-law.

Who would have thought that after hearing this, these servants did not report it at all, but just smiled and said:
"I'm so sorry, the old lady has been in poor health recently and is not seeing any visitors. Please go back, young lady!"

"Then...how about asking Brother Lian to come out and see me?"

"Haha, Second Madam Lian was kidnapped by your family. If you release her, Second Master Lian might be willing to meet you."

Baoqin took a deep breath and said seriously:

"Jia Yucun was tortured into confessing and wrongly accusing a good man. It is obvious that he has no intention of rescuing Lian's second sister-in-law. Could it be that the Jia family will just sit back and watch?"

"Could it be that the family doesn't want to rescue Second Madam Lian?"

When the servants heard this, they immediately became angry and started pushing and shoving, shouting:
"With all the evidence, what can be wronged?"

"Your own steward has already confessed, why are you still quibbling here?"

"I don't think you're a good person either. You might be one of the people who leaked the information!"

Baoqin hurriedly stepped back to prevent these ruffians from getting close to her. The servant behind her also hurried forward to block them for her, whispering:
"Miss, why don't we go back first? We are few in number and it's not worth it to suffer a loss right now."

Baoqin's chest rose and fell violently for a few times, and she shouted loudly again:

"Jia Yucun can torture people into confessing their crimes, but he can't conjure up Lian's second sister-in-law out of thin air!"

"Madam Wang is also a lady of the Wang family. Doesn't she want to save her own niece?"

Seeing that everyone on the street was looking at them sideways and many people had started to join in the fun, the doormen suddenly became anxious and rushed forward to drive them away.

"Leave far away!"

"This is Rongguo Mansion, not a place for you to act like a spoiled brat!"

"If you dare to say that again, I will arrest you and bring you to the government office for questioning!"

Under the protection of the servants, Baoqin was finally not captured by the crowd, but was driven out of the street in a mess. Her efforts were in vain, and after all the trouble, no one saw her.

It turns out that it is easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with the little ghosts!
However, Baoqin still did not give up. She had lived in the mansion and dealt with its people. She knew that not everyone was a fool. Even if someone was deceived by Jia Yucun, the misunderstanding would be resolved as long as they talked it out.

As long as the Jia family doesn't believe it, Jia Yucun cannot make a rash decision.

So Baoqin waited on the street next to the Jia Mansion, waiting to see someone she knew and ask for help.

As long as she could enter the Jia Mansion, she thought she would be able to explain the problem clearly.

The most important thing now is to find someone. Others may not be able to find him, but she is clear about Baoyu's character. He can't sit still and will definitely come out and hang around.

Sure enough, not long after, she saw Baoyu's carriage, and hurriedly came out from the dark and stepped forward to block the road.

"Sister Qin!" Baoyu got out of the car in surprise and came over to hold her hand. "Why are you here?"

"Brother Bao, the person who kidnapped Lian's second sister-in-law has absolutely nothing to do with my family. Please believe me."

Baoyu didn't believe it at first, but everyone around him said so, and he was easily influenced by rumors, so he couldn't help but believe it a little. But now that Sister Qin said it herself, how could it be false? Baoyu changed his mind immediately.

"Don't worry, Sister Qin. I definitely trust you, but the other people in the mansion..."

"I'm here for this matter. Brother Bao, please take me to the mansion. I want to explain this matter to the old ancestor."

"Grandfather..." Baoyu's face was embarrassed, his eyes wandering, "Grandfather was ill before, and he has not recovered. This time, the incident of my second sister-in-law being kidnapped has become even worse. I am afraid I can't see you."

"Then, then you should go see Madam. We can't let Jia Yucun just close the case so carelessly, otherwise Sister-in-law Lian will definitely not be saved."

In fact, it would be best to meet Jia Lian. After all, she is his daughter-in-law and he should care about her the most. But considering that Jia Lian has no status in the mansion and his words are not powerful enough, Baoqin temporarily changed her address to Mrs. Wang.

After all, she is the aunt of Lian's second sister-in-law. She can't write two characters for "Wang" with one stroke, so she probably hopes to rescue her niece.

Baoyu immediately pulled Baoqin into the carriage, turned back home, and took Baoqin to meet his wife.

Jia Yucun was very capable. After raiding the Xue family's house, he returned the "dirty silver" to the Jia family, along with a lot of compensation.

It was precisely because of this that although Mrs. Wang also suspected that Jia Yucun was having an affair, she pretended to be deaf and dumb and never said a word.

Now two or three days have passed, and what should have happened has probably already happened. Even if Wang Xifeng is rescued now, it will be of no use. It is better to... just be ignorant for once.

But she wanted to pretend to be confused, but her son was really confused. He actually brought Xue Baoqin back home again and brought her in front of her to explain the misunderstanding to her.

What a misunderstanding!

What misunderstanding is there?
Mrs. Wang looked at the couple in front of her with an unfriendly expression, wishing she could beat her son again. Baoyu shrank back and said timidly:
"Madam, Sister Baoqin will certainly not lie to us. If she says that this matter was not done by her family, then it is definitely not done by her family. It must be that Jia Yucun is incompetent and deliberately found someone to take the blame. Madam, you must be careful."

Baoqin also said respectfully:
"Madam, my family had always wanted to marry into your family, how could they suddenly turn around and become kidnappers?"

"If the old lady hadn't refuted this, we might have been a family now."

Hearing Baoqin trying so hard to get close to her, Mrs. Wang curled her lips and sneered:
"You can't judge a person by his appearance, but you can judge his heart by his appearance. Maybe the old lady saw this clearly, so she didn't agree to this marriage."

"Jia Yucun brought his confession to me and showed it to me. It was flawless, without any loopholes."

"You just say this without any evidence, and you want me to believe you. How can that be possible?"

Baoqin said hurriedly:
"I have never seen the confession, but shouldn't the most crucial thing be the whereabouts of Lian's second sister-in-law?"

"What is fake is fake after all, and it can't become real. I don't think Jia Yucun can make up the whereabouts of Lian's second sister-in-law."

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wang turned around and took out a stack of confession transcripts from the drawer, threw them in front of Baoqin, and sneered:
"Your steward has confessed everything. You have imprisoned Feng in a farmhouse somewhere in the west of the city. Unfortunately, when the government sent people to catch the thief, they got the news in advance and moved away with the hostage."

Baoqin hurriedly picked up the confession and read it carefully. She found that the whole story was woven together tightly without any loopholes.

What she didn't know was that the officials in the yamen were the best at doing these things, as they had inherited the skills from their ancestors and had years of practice. Not to mention her, even the people from the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple might not be able to find any flaws in the text.

After reading this, Baoqin turned pale and was unable to utter a word.

Mrs. Wang sneered:
"If you say that your family is not the one kidnapped by those people, then arrest all the kidnappers and rescue the people, and I will believe you. Otherwise, why should I not believe the results of the interrogation of the government?"

"Your family's steward has already confessed all the thieves who colluded with him. The government has now issued arrest warrants. Sooner or later, these thieves will be killed to avenge Feng'er!"

Baoqin was so dumbfounded that she couldn't even make up her own confession.

"But, but these are all fake. Can we catch the real kidnapper with a fake confession?"

"Also, it's only been two or three days, and Sister-in-law Lian may not be dead. Shouldn't we try to catch the real kidnapper and save her? Why are we talking about revenge?"

Madam Wang lowered her eyelids, her face cold, "Feng girl is a strong-willed person. If she fell into the hands of thieves, she would definitely commit suicide to clear her name. How could she still be alive?"

Hearing this, Baoqin's heart was greatly shocked. She stared at the cold and frosty person in front of her with her mouth open. Suddenly, she understood why the Jia family had such an attitude now, and she couldn't help but cry out:
"You, you don't intend to let Sister-in-law Lian come back alive!"

"Shut up! Stop talking nonsense!" Mrs. Wang frowned, her eyes flashing with murderous intent, scaring Baoqin so much that she took several steps back.

"It's obvious that your master colluded with the kidnappers and harmed Feng girl, but he kept it from you. If you dare to make trouble here again, don't blame me for being rude!"

Baoqin was hit so hard that she felt dizzy and walked out of Lady Wang's courtyard in a daze, looking confused and not knowing what to do.

Baoyu, who was beside her, didn't understand what she said and was still trying to comfort her foolishly.

"Sister Qin, don't worry. Madam was just deceived by Jia Yucun and thought that Second Sister-in-law Lian had been murdered. That's why she is so irritable. She is not targeting you on purpose."

"I'll talk to Brother Zhan later and ask him to help pay the ransom first and see if we can get Sister-in-law Lian back."

"Alas, for now, we can only hope that the robbers can keep their promise."

Baoqin burst into tears after hearing this, and she hugged Baoyu and cried:
"But even if Lian's second sister-in-law comes back, she can't prove that this matter has nothing to do with my family!"

"Jia Yucun might even say that the kidnappers released the hostages because they caught the mastermind!"

Hearing this, Baoyu was at a loss, "Then, what should I do?"

Baoqin cried and said:

"For now, I'm afraid the only way to free my family from this unjust case is to catch the real kidnapper."

Baoyu spread his hands and said:
"But...I don't know how to catch a thief!"

"If even the government couldn't catch the kidnapper, how could we possibly catch him?"

Baoqin thought over and over but couldn't find a way out, so she couldn't help but burst into tears again.

Baoyu hated to see women's tears. Seeing Baoqin crying so sadly, he couldn't help but feel soft-hearted. After turning around a few times, he remembered the omnipotent brother Zhan. His eyes lit up immediately, and he clapped his hands and shouted:

"Have it!"

"Brother Zhan is a great man of the time, maybe he can come up with a solution. Why don't we go ask Brother Zhan for help?"

Hearing Baoyu mention Master Zhan again, Baoqin felt embarrassed. She originally wanted to stay away from Master Zhan so that Baoyu would not give him away as a gift, so she went to great lengths to ruin their marriage. But now she was asking for the same thing again.

If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?
The only problem is that she is now clear about the Jia family's attitude. Even the Jia family doesn't want Second Sister-in-law Lian to come back alive. So, would Mr. Zhan, who has nothing to do with the Jia family, be willing to intervene in this matter?

Moreover, today she has seen how others are acting in opposition to the rich and powerful. On one side are the Jia family and the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, and on the other side is the fallen Xue family. Any normal person would know what to choose!

Then why would Mr. Zhan help the Xue family when he has no benefit at all?
But what benefits can the Xue family provide to Mr. Zhan now?
She thought about Master Zhan's character in her mind and remembered that Master Zhan was generous and had no interest in money or power. His only hobby was... lust!
this……

Is it possible...

After hesitating for a moment, Baoqin gritted her teeth and made a decision.

She wiped her tears, turned to look at Baoyu, blushed and whispered to him:

"Brother Bao, you said before that you would give me to Master Zhan to enjoy. Do you still remember this?"

Baoyu nodded and said:

"Of course I remember, but I'm not going to give you to Brother Zhan to enjoy. Instead, I'm going to let Brother Zhan help nourish you so that you, Sister Qin, can be more energetic."

"This matter will definitely be of great benefit to you, Sister Qin!"

"It's just that Sister Qin said you would wait until we get married before going to see Brother Zhan, so I never mentioned this to Brother Zhan."

"Later, our marriage was rejected by the old lady, and your whole family moved out, so I couldn't find you anymore."

After hearing this, Baoqin bit her lips and whispered in a voice as soft as a mosquito:
"Since it's such a good thing, how can I give up so easily? Why don't you, Brother Bao, help introduce me to Brother Zhan, and I will definitely be grateful."
