Zhao Heng looked at Jia Huan and smiled, threw him a sign and said, "Go ahead. With this sign, you can pick up the Xue family. But don't forget to bring the money."
After taking the sign, Jia Huan said, "Okay, master, I won't forget to bring the silver."
Jia Huan went directly to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Currently, Jia Huan's monthly profit from the perfume business alone is more than 100,000 silver.
He always carries tens of thousands of taels of silver in banknotes with him, so he doesn't need to go home to pick up a mere 10,000 taels of silver.
Not long after, Jia Huan came to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, handed over the sign given by Zhao Heng, and after handing over 10,000 taels of silver, he was put into the prison.
Not long after, Jia Huan was brought to Xue Pan's cell.
At this time, Xue Pan was lying on the bed, his clothes in tatters, with bloodstains all over his body, moaning and screaming.
When he noticed someone coming, he couldn't help but look up. Then he saw Jia Huan at a glance.
Xue Pan couldn't help but screamed and got up from the bed, and then gasped in pain.
He staggered to the door of the cell and burst into tears.
He couldn't help but ask: "Brother Huan, I got into a lawsuit and was arrested, and you were the first and only one who came to see me! All my other friends are bullshit—"
Just as he said this, he saw Wei Ruolan walking in carrying a food box.
Xue Pan quickly changed his words: "Only Brother Huan and Brother Wei are my real brothers. When I am in trouble, you are the only ones who come to see me."
Wei Ruolan said helplessly: "Xue Pan, you have fallen into the hands of Mr. Zhao. The old man has a bad temper and is hard-tempered. If he refuses to take the soft and hard, there is nothing I can do."
"I can only bring you some delicious food and take care of the jailer so that you won't suffer in there."
Hearing this, Xue Pan was greatly moved.
He hurriedly said: "Brother Wei is willing to try his best to help me. I, Xue Pan, have not trusted you as my brother in vain. I will have my own reasons after I get out."
"Brother Huan, I want to ask you something."
Jia Huan was a little curious, so he didn't immediately tell the truth that he could be released from prison.
Instead, he asked: "Brother Xue, tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"
Xue Pan sniffed and said: "Brother Huan, I am a young bastard who is ignorant and caused a life-threatening lawsuit. Now I have been found out. I admit it."
"But after I left, only my mother and sister made me worry. Now I can only ask Brother Huan to take care of me."
"If I leave, there will be no male in the Xue family's first house. How can we support it? Either it will be eaten by the second house, or it will be eaten by the Xifu - in short, the women will not be able to keep it if they are left behind. .”
"Therefore, I beg Brother Huan to marry my sister, that's fine——"
Having said this, Xue Pan looked at Jia Huan's face and then said: "Even if you are a concubine, it's okay. I just ask you to protect these ladies and keep them safe throughout their lives."
Jia Huan couldn't help but have black lines on his face, and was speechless for a while.
The more this guy talks about, the more unreliable he becomes.
Jia Huan couldn't help but said: "Brother Xue, I'm sorry I can't agree to your request."
Xue Pan asked in shock: "Brother Huan, why? Isn't it okay for my sister to be a concubine? She can't be a serving maid, right? This won't work, at least she needs to be a concubine..."
Jia Huan said helplessly: "Brother Xue, you should go home and respect your aunt and take good care of Sister Bao. I am here to take you back."
"Ah? What? Brother Huan, you didn't lie to me, did you? Can I go back now?"
Jia Huan smiled and said: "Of course I didn't lie to you. Don't ask about other things. Let's talk about it when we get back."
After listening to Jia Huan's words, Xue Pan's eyes were moist, and after a while, he suddenly burst into tears.
Jia Huan was also speechless for a while, and together with Wei Ruolan, he helped Xue Pan out of the cell.
Next, the two put Xue Pan on Jia Huan's carriage, and then drove together to Xue's house - Lixiangyuan of Jia Jiarong's mansion.
On the carriage, Xue Pan finally calmed down.
He glared with a pair of bull's eyes and asked: "Brother Huan, have you seen my sister too? Asking her to be your concubine is not an insult to you. Why don't you think about it again?"
Jia Huan said speechlessly: "Brother Xue, what are you talking about? Based on your Xue family's family background, how can Sister Bao be a concubine? Is this something you can do as an elder brother?"
Xue Pan chuckled and said: "Being a concubine for others is definitely not possible, just be a concubine for Brother Huan. Brother Huan is a good man who is hard to find even with a lantern in the world. If my sister can follow you, It’s her blessing.”
Jia Huan couldn't help but ask: "Brother Xue, you were pretending to be crazy and stupid when you were in prison just now, right? You probably knew you wouldn't die, right?"
Was it exposed?
Xue Pan was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled and said, "Brother Huan, when the old man interrogated me today, I followed the words you taught me in advance, and every word was correct."
"The old man almost beat me to death, but I gritted my teeth and didn't let go. Although he didn't pronounce the sentence in court, I guessed that it must have nothing to do with life."
Master Zhao did not pronounce the sentence in court, fearing that he was deliberately leaving a favor for himself. In this way, the favor of saving Xue Pan falls entirely on himself.
Although this guy is stupid, he is not really stupid.
But it is inevitable that there will be some serious illness in the brain.
If there was no serious disease in the brain, how could he do such a thing as wanting to recognize someone else as his father? How could he do such a stupid thing as wanting to give his sister as a concubine?
Not long after, the carriage entered Lixiangyuan from the back door.
Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai rushed out to welcome the news.
Seeing Jia Huan, Aunt Xue asked hurriedly: "Brother Huan, how is Pan'er? Is there a way..."
Before he finished speaking, Xue Pan started shouting in the carriage.
"Mom, I'm fine. Thanks to Brother Huan for being kind and rescuing me."
"Pan'er?"
Hearing Xue Pan's voice, Aunt Xue staggered. Fortunately, she was helped by Xue Baochai who was beside her, so she didn't fall down.
The next moment, Aunt Xue climbed onto the carriage, hugged Xue Pan and cried loudly.
"My son, why are you beaten like this? My son, if you die, who do you want your mother to count on? My son, you love your mother so much..."
Xue Pan gasped and said, "Mom, it hurts, it hurts!"
Aunt Xue quickly let go of her hand.
Next, there was another panic, and Aunt Xue ordered someone to carefully carry Xue Pan into the yard.
Wei Ruolan sat down for a while, then left.
Jia Huan left if things didn't go well, so he could only stay temporarily.
Not long after, the imperial doctor was invited, and he carefully bandaged Xue Pan and left another prescription.
According to the imperial doctor, Xue Pan's injury had damaged his muscles and bones, and he needed to stay in bed for two to three months.
However, as long as it is well cared for, it will not leave any root causes of disease.
Aunt Xue was naturally distressed, but when she heard that there would be no root cause of the disease, she felt relieved.
After sending the imperial doctor away, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai, mother and daughter, remembered that they had neglected Jia Huan.
