Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

Chapter 483 Confused

The two men were fighting each other. The female jailer, who had been watching the excitement for a long time, finally woke up from her dream. She hurried forward and kicked each of them to separate them, and then shouted:

"You bitches, even a white silk ribbon is a mercy from His Majesty!

"If you want to cause trouble to me now, be careful or I will punish you!

"I have been merciful these days, and now I should let you know what a prison is!"

Because Master Zhitong is in charge of the Dali Temple, the jailers have become much more restrained in the past few months.

Madam Wang Ziteng and Madam Xiao Shihou wondered how many prison tricks they had used to deal with people they didn't like.

At this moment he suddenly woke up, let go of his hands in a hurry, tidied his clothes and hair, climbed up, and stood aside carefully.

The female jailer then looked around and snorted, "Alright, Wang, you already know the news about your daughter. Go back to your cell!"

Mrs. Wang Ziteng wanted to say a few more words to Baochai, but when she looked up at the ferocious expression of the female jailer, she hurriedly lowered her head and agreed, then carefully moved back.

Mrs. Xiao Shihou didn't say a word, but just followed her closely.

Baochai stood by the door of the empty cell, stared at their backs for a few seconds, and suddenly raised her voice: "Aunt, you'd better be careful. It's very easy for someone to die in prison!"

Mrs. Wang Ziteng shuddered.

The female jailer frowned and turned back, shouting, "Xue, stop talking nonsense!"

Xue Baochai remained calm, bowed, nodded, and walked back.

Aunt Xue's face was pale: "What are you talking about? We are all unarmed...

"Even if Madam Shi Hou wants to do something to your aunt, there are other people in the prison..."

"Who else?" Xue Baochai asked, "My aunt has clearly said something important!

"My aunt also said that it was the Shihou family who falsely told my uncle that they wanted the Xue family's ancient recipe from my mother!

“Now that mother is the person in charge, you dare not say it. Xiao Shihou’s family is the mastermind, she won’t say it.

"Only my aunt knew the whole story, but somehow she stayed out of it!

"Mother! At the earliest, it could be tonight, at the latest, it could be tomorrow morning. Believe it or not, your aunt will confess!

“Mrs. Xiao Shihou will definitely not give her this opportunity!

"Especially with the West King's family members next to them! They are doomed to die. They wish they could take more people with them before they die!"

The collar of the clothes that Aunt Xue was holding in her hand was almost torn!

With a hint of pleading, she looked at her daughter with a burning gaze: "Precious girl, tell me that if I go and turn myself in, even if, even if I kill someone..."

"Mother, you killed someone?!" Baochai's eyes widened, and she rushed over to grab Aunt Xue's trembling hands, "Who did you kill?"

Aunt Xue quickly shook her head: "I didn't! I didn't do it myself! I just stole an ancient recipe from my family and gave it to your uncle's people!

"Later I found out that the man had betrayed your uncle a long time ago! He gave the recipe to Little Shi Hou!"

Xue Baochai stared at her closely: "Mother, you know who the young Marquis Shi harmed with that prescription, right?"

Aunt Xue dodged and dodged, not daring to look her daughter in the eye again.

"Mother, that man is in a high position and has great power, right?" Xue Baochai felt her palms beginning to sweat and her voice trembled a little.

Aunt Xue denied it in a lost voice: "No!"

Facing Xue Baochai's questioning gaze, she bit her lip again, and after a while, she lowered her head: "No, no, I don't know..."

"Mother!" Xue Baochai was anxious. She grabbed Aunt Xue's shoulders fiercely and forced her to look at her. "Mother, you know!"

Seeing Aunt Xue clenching her teeth and refusing to speak, Xue Baochai took a deep breath and lowered her voice:

"Tell me quickly! Tell me and I will tell you whether you should know it or not!"

Aunt Xue trembled as she moved closer to Baochai's ear and read out a name: Jia Min.

Xue Baochai was stunned.

Jia Min?

What did you do to harm Jia Min?

She was the biological daughter of Madam Shi, the real daughter of the Rongguo Mansion, but she married Lin Ruhai, who was just a bookworm who only knew how to read...

wrong!

Xue Baochai shuddered, and tightly grasped her mother's hand. She lowered her voice and asked her through gritted teeth:

"Mother, you don't want to harm Jia Min, you want to use Jia Min and Lin Ruhai to harm the crown prince, right!?"

Aunt Xue burst into tears, covered her mouth tightly, and shook her head desperately: "I don't know! I really don't know anything!"

"You didn't know it at the time, but later on, Madam Shi Hou would definitely tell you about it in order to drag you into this!"

Xue Baochai's eyes flashed with despair, "Not only did you know about this afterwards, but my aunt and my aunt also knew about it, right?!"

Aunt Xue cried and fell into her daughter's arms, nodding her head continuously, and her voice unconsciously became three times louder:

"If you were by my side back then, it would have been great! I wouldn't have given the recipe to others, and they wouldn't have been able to harm the Lin family..."

The words "Lin Family" can be clearly heard.

Suddenly, Baochai felt a chill on her back and her hair stood on end!

what happened?

Why is the cell suddenly so quiet? !

Even the sickly and groaning sounds he made while walking along the way are gone! ?

Aunt Xue did not notice this and was still immersed in her own world, sobbing to her daughter:

"…your father discovered that the prescription was missing, and after searching for a long time, he found me.

"He got so angry that he fell ill and died in less than half a year!

"I know that my family hated Jia Min the most because she refused to marry into our family and insisted on marrying someone who was not a family friend, so they wanted to kill her!

"But who could have thought that the Shi family had already planted someone next to her, and with just a few words, they made her regard the life-threatening thing as a good omen and offer it to..."

Xue Baochai closed her eyes in despair and raised her hand to cover her mother's mouth.

After two whimpering sounds, Aunt Xue looked at Baochai in horror.

Xue Baochai's tears fell down in a flash, and she sobbed: "Mother! You, you are so confused!"

These people actually teamed up to kill the late Empress Xiaodun? Your Majesty's first wife, the Crown Prince's biological mother?!

Even if the situation turns upside down, my entire family will not be able to escape being executed!

This is treason!

This is one of the ten unforgivable sins!

"No! Precious girl, I don't know! I only know that your uncle wants to use that ancient recipe..." Aunt Xue looked pleading.

Xue Baochai cried and smiled bitterly: "Mother, who would believe you? If I believe you, will it be of any use?"

"I believe."

Suddenly, a clear and weak voice was heard.

There was a rustling sound on the wall at the end of the corridor, and a secret door was pushed open.

Lin Daiyu, along with Chu Kua, Qingwen, and the officers from the Dali Temple, walked out from a small clean room inside.

An officer stepped forward and handed over two pieces of paper with words written on them:

"Mrs. Xue Wang, Crown Prince's Consort, these are the statements you two just made. Please verify them and sign them."
