The Red Chamber: My Stunning Confidante with a Variety of Styles

Looking at the back of Mei Le leaving, a cold light flashed in Jia Jue's eyes, he knew the Mei family's intention very well.

He just wanted to suppress the Xue family by bullying and show his favor to the fourth prince Zhao Ping.

Mei Hanlin has been in the Hanlin Academy for many years, but he is still an Hanlin, showing no signs of success.

So, he took a risky gamble, put Bao on Zhao Ping's body, and secretly voted for Zhao Ping.

Once Zhao Ping ascended to the throne, he would rise from the minister of the dragon to the sky in one step, and become a minister of the most human beings.

In the past two days, he heard about the Dou family, so he thought of currying favor with Zhao Ping by suppressing and humiliating the Xue family.

Hence, the scene of Merle's visit came to be.

He turned around, but saw Xue Baoqin looking at him with tears in his eyes.

"Sister Qin, don't blame me. I didn't mean to be a hindrance. I just don't want the Xue family to be humiliated, and I don't want you to live in humiliation in the future." Jia Jue explained to her.

This is his truth, Xue Baoqin probably won't have a good life after marrying him.

Xue Baoqin shook her head, bowed to Jia Jue, and said softly, "Thank you, Third Brother Jue, for your protection."

"Sister Qin, don't worry. If the Mei family can change their minds and treat each other better, I won't obstruct it." Jia Jue said again.

Xue Baoqin shook his head lightly: "Third brother Jue misunderstood, I don't want to marry into the Mei family, his Mei family has never looked at me seriously, if it wasn't for my father's decision, I would end up alone and die alone. I won’t take a look at their Mei family.”

Jia Jue nodded: "Since that's the case, as long as I am here, I will never let sister Qin marry into the Mei family."

Xue Baoqin looked at him worriedly: "But if you do this, I'm afraid it will be bad for your reputation."

Jia Jue chuckled lightly: "It's okay, if I can't even protect my family, I'm not a good official. Besides, a little fame is not as important as sister Qin's lifelong event."

"Thank you, Third Brother Jue." Xue Baoqin saluted Jia Jue and said emotionally.

Jia Jue defended her so much, how could she not be moved?

"They're all from my own family, so you don't have to be polite." Jia Jue raised his hand to help.

Xue Baoqin stood up, glanced at Jia Jue lightly, and then frowned slightly: "But this matter about the Dou family..."

"It's okay, you and Sister Bao take good care of Auntie, and I'll take care of it," Jia Jue said.

"But this matter has nothing to do with Third Brother Jue." Xue Baoqin frowned.

Jia Jue shook his head: "We are a family, how can we have nothing to do?"

Does this matter really have nothing to do with him?

I'm afraid it may not be.

Xue Baoqin bowed again and thanked Jia Jue.

"It's getting late, sister Qin should go to bed early." Jia Jue looked at the sky, apologized to Xue Baoqin, turned and left.

Xue Baoqin hurriedly sent him to the gate of Lixiangyuan, and did not return to the courtyard until his back disappeared.

The next morning, Xue Baoqin came out of Aunt Xue's room with a slightly tired expression.

Shortly after Jia Jue left last night, Aunt Xue woke up, but although she woke up, her mood was extremely unstable.

She and Xue Baochai stayed with Aunt Xue all night in the room and comforted her all night, until just now, Aunt Xue just fell asleep.

When she came to the courtyard, she found a person guarding the gate of the courtyard. She was holding a long knife and looked heroic.

When she came, she had already heard people say that her name was Ji Yun, and she was Jia Jue's personal bodyguard.

Just as she was looking at Ji Yun, Ji Yun happened to look over.

"I met Miss Ji." She saluted quickly.

"Hello, Miss Baoqin." Ji Yun also nodded slightly to her, "By order of my lord, I will stay here for the next few days. If Miss Baoqin needs anything, please let me know. Besides, if you need to go out, I will Peer."

Xue Baoqin said gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Jue, and Miss Ji."

"Miss Baoqin is too polite."

Xue Baoqin thought for a while and asked again: "Is Third Brother Jue in the courtyard?"

Ji Yun shook her head: "Not here. The young master went to the Yamen early in the morning."

Xue Baoqin sighed when she heard the words, Jia Jue was really busy with this matter, which made her very grateful.

"Miss Ji, is this extremely difficult?" She asked tentatively.

Ji Yun nodded and frowned slightly: "It is said that Dou Xiao was poisoned to death, and according to the confession of your Xue family's shopkeeper, you were instructed by your brother to poison Dou Xiao just now."

Xue Baoqin has an older brother named Xue Bian, who is honest and steady, and has been busy since he came to the capital.

Xue Baoqin was shocked and angry when he heard the words: "It's nonsense, my brother is honest and honest, with a pure heart, how can he instruct the shopkeeper to do such things?"

"Miss Baoqin's words are exactly the same as your son's." Ji Yun nodded, "So as soon as he heard about this, he rushed to the Yamen."

Xue Baoqin frowned deeply when she heard the words, and her expression was nervous. She never thought that the matter would develop to this point.

"Miss Baoqin, don't worry, with the young master here, mere ghost tricks are nothing to worry about." Ji Yun comforted her.

Xue Baoqin smiled lightly at her, but the smile was extremely forced.

She looked into the distance, and said silently in her heart: "Brother Jue, everything is up to you..."

……

Daxing County Government.

The county government office, which was originally deserted, was now surrounded by people at the gate.

Today, the county government is going to hear the case of Dou Xiao's murder, and the defendant is Xue's family. Such a heavyweight lawsuit has attracted the attention of many people.

time.

A group of people passed through the crowd and went straight to the gate of the county government.

They all wear mourning, the leader with a sad face is none other than Dou Ming.

He came to the gate of the yamen and rang the drum of grievances at the gate of the yamen.

After the sound of the drum, the gate of the yamen opened, and the yamen servants and county magistrates were all in place.

The county magistrate Mou Qiang slapped the gavel and shouted:
"Who complains!"

Dou Ming entered the hall and knelt down, held up the pleadings and shouted: "My lord, Dou Ming, a grassroots citizen, sued the Xue family for killing my brother. Here is the pleadings. Please, my lord, make decisions for the grassroots!"

A yamen servant took the pleading paper from him and handed it to Mou Qiang.

Mou Qiang glanced through the pleadings hastily, and suddenly slapped the gavel:

"Long Lang Qiankun, there is such a reckless thing about human life! Dou Ming, your pleadings have been accepted by the official, and your brother will definitely be given justice!"

After finishing speaking, he picked up the gavel and was about to give the order to ascend.

And at this moment, a voice sounded: "The fourth prince is here!"

Everyone was startled and looked out of the hall, only to see a luxurious sedan chair landed at the gate of the yamen, and then a figure came down from the sedan chair.

I saw that his collar and clothes were all made of sable, the sleeves were smoked sable, embroidered with two front and back dragons on both shoulders, and there were six dragons in the folds, with five colored clouds in between. It was the fourth prince Zhao Ping!

"See His Royal Highness Fourth Prince!" Seeing this, everyone bowed down in unison and shouted.

Zhao Ping looked around at the crowd bowing to him, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth:
"Everyone, please come here today, just to give my cousin justice."

Everyone's heart skipped a beat when they heard the words, the fourth prince actually called Dou Xiao his cousin directly, and wanted to give him justice.

It seems that the Xue family's collapse is imminent.
