Chapter 342 Aunt Xue Comes to See Me

What Lin Chen didn't know was that.

His hasty return to Beijing and low-key return to the mansion were still noticed by someone with ulterior motives.

That was the Xue family who had asked Lin Chen to do something.

After Xue Pan's incident, Aunt Xue was also awakened by Xue Baochai and realized that the elders of the Xue family had encroached on the Xue family's property.

Aunt Xue was self-aware.

Knowing that she was a widowed girl living in Jinling without a male heir, wouldn't she be a fat sheep?

So, just like in the original book, Aunt Xue sold her property and came directly to the Jia Mansion.

In response to this.

Xue Baochai first proposed to find Xue Ke and use his connections to let the Xue family gain a foothold in the capital.

Today is different from the past.

Xue Ke has the official title of Ziwei Sheren and the identity of the general manager of Ziwei Chamber of Commerce.

Looking at the entire capital, Xue Ke had to give some face to him.

On the other hand, Aunt Xue, as the head of the family, was unfamiliar with the place.

Although the master's family had conflicts with Xue Ke before, as the saying goes, you can't write the word Xue with one stroke.

In ancient times, the relationship between relatives and friends with the same surname was often very close.

Even if you start a rebellion, the relatives with the same surname who can support you are also relatives with the same surname.

So Xue Baochai thought she could go to Xue Ke first.

However?

Aunt Xue couldn't let go of her face as the master's family, so she naturally didn't want to go to Xue Ke.

Seeing this, Xue Baochai couldn't help but sigh.

Even if Aunt Xue said that they were related to the Jia family.

But for the Jia family, their Xue family was an outsider after all.

This made Sister Xue, who was only fourteen years old this year, confused.

The elder brother was convicted, and she, Xue Baochai, naturally had to shoulder the family responsibility.

"I just hope that I can be selected in this selection of palace maids."

Xue Baochai placed her hope on entering the palace.

According to Aunt Xue's words, that was with Xue Baochai's noble appearance.

After entering the palace, she might not be able to catch the emperor's eye.

As long as he could become the emperor's concubine, his elder brother Xue Pan would be saved, and the Xue family would be saved.

At the same time.

Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai did not forget to arrange for Xue Pan to be sent to the Yulin Guard as a soldier.

Although Xue Ke had given her a guarantee, Aunt Xue was still worried.

She planned to contact Lin Chen in person.

After learning that Lin Chen had returned to Beijing, Aunt Xue sent people to send visiting cards several times, hoping to meet Lin Chen.

However?

The visiting cards fell into the sea.

After a few days, the Lin Mansion closed its doors to visitors!

Aunt Xue didn't know where she got the news that there were many female relatives in the Lin Mansion, and she was discussing something with her daughter.

As the saying goes, give someone what he likes.

Aunt Xue looked at the girl standing in front of her with a cold face, and the latter was at a loss.

Only seeing that the girl had a rice-sized rouge mark on her forehead, she looked as outstanding as a lotus.

Beautiful but not gorgeous, weak and innocent.

This girl was Xiangling, who was mentioned a lot in the original book of the Dream of Red Mansions.

Anyone who sees such a delicate person would feel happy.

But it is not the case for Aunt Xue.

If it were not for this trouble, how could her son be exiled?

Aunt Xue completely forgot that if her son had not killed someone, he would not have ended up like this.

Xue Baochai sighed in her heart when she saw her mother's appearance.

She has a heart of a bodhisattva, and it is difficult for her to protect Xiangling.

How can Xiangling continue to stay in the Xue family when Aunt Xue holds a grudge against her?

In this case, it is better to send her to the Lin Mansion in the name of offering flowers to Buddha.

"What?!"

Lin Chen rarely cultivates his body and mind today.

For the Pure Yang Dao Jue he practices, the consumption of these days is just a drizzle.

But be careful not to be greedy.

Looking at the ignorant girl in front of him, Lin Chen's mouth twitched.

This Xue family ruins my reputation!

If this matter gets out, I am afraid that all the nobles in the capital will know.

Lin Chenjia doesn't like gold and silver, but likes women. If you ask him to do something, you have to send him a beautiful woman.

He naturally intended to refuse.

But Lin Chen took a look at the incomplete record of the Hundred Flowers Book in his system backpack.

This Xiangling is on it, but it has a high weight.

Well.

Master Lin is kind and hates this kind of thing.

Moreover.

Lin Chen knows Xiangling's life experience, and even Zhen Shiyin is still alive, looking for his missing only daughter everywhere.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen looked at the girl in front of him with a little more pity.

In this case, he asked someone to arrange for Xiangling to stay in the mansion.

At the same time, Lin Chen vaguely remembered.

According to the description in the original book, after Xiangling died, she was taken to the Taixu Illusionary Realm by her father Zhen Shiyin.

If so.

Could it be that Xiangling is also a fairy who came down to overcome the tribulation?

"Do you still remember your family background and are your parents there?"

Lin Chen rubbed Xiangling's hair, which was as soft as silk.

Xiangling was sent to the Lin Mansion. She was young and was very anxious.

Hearing Lin Chen's question, she became more and more sad and couldn't help crying.

Unexpectedly, Xiangling was made to cry by his words. Lin Chen was in a dilemma. After comforting her.

He just talked about the business...

"Master, is what you said true?!" Xiangling looked incredulous.

Because she was abducted by human traffickers when she was young, she didn't remember her biological parents at all, and where she lived.

But she didn't expect.

Today, she heard what Lin Chen said and knew who her parents were!

"Of course, you stay in the mansion, and the master will arrange someone to find your father to meet in the capital on a certain day."

You know, Jia Zheng is still in Jiangnan.

It's nothing more than Lin Chen writing a letter, asking Jia Zheng to help arrange Jinling officials to find Zhen Shiyin.

After settling Xiangling, he planned to meet Aunt Xue.

When he first met Aunt Xue, Lin Chen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

It is said that Aunt Xue was also born as the daughter of the Wang family.

She married into the Xue family, which had not yet declined, and lived a life of luxury.

Unexpectedly, her husband died early, leaving behind only one son and one daughter.

Throughout the book.

Aunt Xue doted on Xue Pan.

Aunt Xue must have been involved in Xue Pan's current misfortune.

Just look at this woman, although she is not as tall as Mrs. Wang, she looks a little petite, but her plump figure can't be hidden under the wide fur robe.

Especially the mountains on her chest, which shocked Lin Chen and made him take a breath.

Xue Pan and Xue Baochai must have been well-nourished when they were young.

White and oval face, smile at the corners of the eyes, with a hint of clear stupidity.

Have to say.

The life of the nobles in ancient times was very different from that of the common people.

If a woman from an ordinary family was Aunt Xue's age, she would have looked old and would have been a grandmother.

But what about Aunt Xue?

Her skin was as white as a girl's. In modern times, a woman in her thirties would still be in her prime.

Lin Chen did not forget to take a look at the girl standing behind Aunt Xue, wearing a jade flowing skirt and a veil covering her face.

I think it was Xue Baochai.

When Lin Chen met Aunt Xue this time, he did not wear a ghost mask to cover his face.

Because there was no need.

Not long after, the servants of the Lin Mansion served tea.

Aunt Xue was a little reserved when she came here, and she was stunned for a moment when she saw that this Yulin general was so young.
