Hearing Baochai speak like this and thinking of her "disobedient" marriage today, Aunt Xue felt particularly uncomfortable.
"Baochai, you are too presumptuous...why are you talking to your brother?"
Hearing what his mother said, Baochai remained unabated and explained: "Mom... if you continue to protect my brother like this, he will almost die!"
Hearing what Baochai said was so serious, Aunt Xue asked sternly: "What is it that you said is so serious!"
"Brother, do you know who is behind the Qin family?"
Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Xue Pan said: "The Qin family... is just a poor family, how can I be afraid of him?"
"The Thirteenth Master is behind the Qin family. Do you think you should be afraid?" Baochai said with a straight face.
Zhu Jinghong rescued Qin Keqing from Dongchang that day. Baochai had experienced this personally and naturally understood the importance of the Qin family to Zhu Jinghong.
To put it bluntly, in Zhu Jinghong's heart, the girl from the Qin family might be just a little bit worse than her.
Such people, whether Xue Pan or Jia Zhen, if they are smart, should not mess with them.
"Master Ten...Thirteenth?" Xue Pan remained silent. He really didn't know this.
"Mom, you always know that there was a big accident between the Qin family and the Jia family before. Brother Zhen from the Ningguo Mansion... almost died!"
Xue Pan was not in the capital at that time, but Aunt Xue lived in Rongguo Mansion, so she naturally knew how difficult it was for the Jia family at that time.
Without answering, Aunt Xue looked at her son and asked angrily: "Pan'er, what happened to you again?"
"Mom, I..."
The Qin family was in trouble and had no way to appeal. After Jia Zhen found out about this, she invited Qin Zhong to the house on the pretext of helping, and at the same time discussed the matter of re-marriage between the two houses.
Of course, now that the Qin family has suffered such a thing, it is naturally impossible for Jia Zhen to marry her, but he thinks it is okay to use this name to play with Ke Qing.
Now that Yuanchun has been granted the title of Crown Princess, Jia Zhen's courage is obviously much greater.
The reason why Xue Pan was involved in this matter was because he was present when Jia Zhen discussed with Qin Zhong, and Qin Zhong's appearance attracted Xue Pan's attention.
It was also because Yuanchun had made the crown princess that Xue Pan no longer dared to provoke Jia Baoyu, so he targeted Qin Zhong.
But Xue Pan didn't have the nerve to speak out about these nonsense. He hesitated and said, "Sister, the Qin family has been convicted of a serious crime. The Thirteenth Master may not still look after them!"
At this time, Baochai corrected him: "The Thirteenth Master is looking after the girl of the Qin family!"
If this is the case, Xue Pan really can't argue anymore, so he added: "This matter is all handled by Brother Zhen, and I should not be involved!"
"Now that Sister Yuanchun has been granted the title of Crown Princess, I think the Thirteenth Master will also give the Jia family face. Even if Brother Zhen takes care of the matter, I think there will be no problem!"
After seeing this step, his eldest brother was still lucky, and Baochai really felt that he was hopeless.
Seeing that her own mother also looked in agreement, Baochai felt that she needed to correct their perceptions.
"You all get out and close the door!"
After she spoke, several girls waiting in the room came out one after another. After closing the door, there were only three people from the Xue family in the large room.
"Mom, brother... Sister Yuanchun is the successor, her status is not as high as you think, and there are other reasons why she can be named the crown princess!"
"Don't talk about her, even the crown prince's position is not that stable now, and he still needs the support of the Thirteenth Master!"
To be honest, these words are taboo, and if spread, they will definitely attract serious crimes.
But in order to make her family sober, she had to speak out.
"Is this...really true?" Aunt Xue still couldn't believe it.
It's not surprising that she has such thoughts, because the vast majority of people in this world are ordinary people, and they are limited by their vision and cannot see the essence of things clearly.
People like Baochai who are extremely intelligent and live with the royal family are rare.
"Mom, you must know a little about the pomp and ceremony that a crowned princess should have...but do you think these Yuanchun sisters have it?"
After hearing this, Aunt Xue thought about it carefully and felt that it was indeed quite shabby to be granted the title of Yuanchun.
Perhaps as Baochai said, that girl Yuanchun is not valued by the royal family, so the Jia family is naturally not that powerful.
"Mom, brother...what I said today will be rotten in your stomachs. You must not say it outside!"
"These words violate a royal taboo. If spread, our family will undoubtedly die!"
There was no need to remind Aunt Xue how serious this matter was. Both mother and son nodded solemnly at this moment.
"Brother, please don't get involved in the Qin family's affairs anymore, otherwise no one can save you!"
"I know!" Xue Pan lost his energy and was still worried and scared at this moment.
"Baochai, Thirteenth Master really doesn't even give the Crown Princess face?"
Baochai smiled, sat back on the chair and said, "You guys... you underestimate the Thirteenth Master too much!"
A prince who is good at conquering and fighting, a prince who is deeply valued by the emperor, and a prince who can preside over major military affairs should not be looked down upon.
"Brother, Thirteenth Master has sent you an errand now. What do you think he will think if you are dedicated to tearing him down?"
"Brother, have you forgotten the feeling of the knife falling on your neck that day?"
How could Xue Pan forget that feeling? Even thinking about it now, he felt a chill on his back and the urge to urinate.
"Baochai, I... I'll be fine!" Xue Pan swallowed.
Seeing that her brother was really scared, Baochai planned to strike while the iron was hot and put a tight spell on him.
"Brother, it's time for you to calm down. Now that you are valued by the Thirteenth Master, you should do more serious things, and you must not go astray again!"
Having said this, Baochai looked at her mother again and said, "Mom, my eldest brother is quite a grown-up now. You should find me a sister-in-law and take good care of him!"
It seems strange that my sister is planning to marry her brother, but Aunt Xue also agrees with it at the moment.
"Yes, this matter should be put on the agenda!"
Hearing this, Xue Pan was speechless. After all, he had indeed caused a lot of trouble.
"Mom, I will go back to the palace early tomorrow morning. I have to explain this matter to the Thirteenth Master, otherwise my brother's fortune will be unpredictable!"
She originally wanted her daughter to go back later, but she had no choice but to follow the situation, so Aunt Xue didn't give any more advice and just warned Baochai to handle the matter in a thorough manner.
The three of them talked for a while, and then they dispersed to rest when the night got dark.
The night was uneventful, and the next day soon came.
The family of three had breakfast, and Aunt Xue ordered Xue Pan to send Baochai back to the palace. Before leaving, she gave another careful warning.
On the road, Xue Pan was no longer as proud as he was yesterday, and he looked worried.
"Brother, don't worry too much, I will take care of this matter!"
"It's just that after this, you have to focus on business. Before my father died, he wanted you to shine on the family tree. You can't let him down!"
"I know!" Xue Pan responded.
The brother and sister were silent all the way, and soon arrived at the palace gate.
Xue Pan personally helped Baochai get off the sedan, and said with great expectation: "Sister, I leave this matter to you!"
Seeing her brother's haggard appearance, Baochai knew that he had not slept well last night, presumably because he was worried about good fortune or misfortune.
"Brother, don't worry...but you must remember what I say and never commit any crime again. Although our family is kind to Master Thirteen, the favor will always be used up!"
Hearing this, Xue Pan solemnly replied: "Don't worry, sister, I will behave myself in the future!"
