Chapter 278 I Want Fame
"When your brother Bao wakes up, he will naturally know how good you are."
"He was simply blinded by the evildoer."
"This time you go to the Bodhisattva and pray sincerely, it will help the Bodhisattva see your goodness." Mrs. Wang said this with sincerity.
Xue Baochai tightly grasped the silk handkerchief in her hand, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, and she responded in a low voice:
"Aunt, to be honest, I do have this intention, but my mother has been worried about my brother these days."
"I guess he's not in the mood to take us there."
She lowered her head slightly, her voice full of helplessness, "I have to accompany my mother tomorrow, I'm afraid..."
When Mrs. Wang heard this, her face changed slightly. She almost forgot about this matter. While other families were celebrating the New Year, her sister Aunt Xue was equivalent to going through a tribulation.
There was no news from my son at home, and no one was in the mood to go out.
"Don't panic, I'll have someone call your mother over in a minute."
"She needs to get out of the haze and go to the temple to pray. The Buddha's blessing may bring good news to your brother."
Xue Baochai nodded. She knew in her heart that her mother was complaining about her. She thought it was she who instigated her brother to talk about the human trafficker Feng Yuan.
Why doesn't she think about the fact that he is not her own son, but she fell in love with someone else and caused a lot of trouble.
When something goes wrong, you will only blame others.
Now that we know Qingwen is still alive, it is obvious that the maid who was favored is undoubtedly Qingwen.
Thinking of this, she said to Mrs. Wang, "Aunt, I heard that it was the Lin family who kidnapped Qingwen."
"Brother Zhen once said that he was hurt by Qingwen."
"Tell me, is my eldest brother also hidden by the Lin family?"
“Is this so-called human trafficker Feng Yuan just an excuse for the Lin family?”
Mrs. Wang sighed, "My son, this is obvious, so please don't worry about your mother."
"It's good to break off the relationship with the Lin family today. I won't be restricted in dealing with the Lin family in the future."
"Now that the Lin family has fallen, the whereabouts of your eldest brother will surely be revealed."
Xue Baochai felt depressed. How long would she have to wait?
……
Mrs. Wang asked someone to call Aunt Xue over, only to find that Aunt Xue looked haggard and her eyes were dull.
She had lost her appetite and couldn't sleep in the past few days. Every time she closed her eyes, she had nightmares of her son suffering far away.
As she picked up the bowl of rice, she felt sad, thinking that her son might be hungry and had nowhere to find food.
"Human traffickers don't kill people, do they?" She asked herself this question every day to seek peace of mind, but she didn't know that such self-comfort had exhausted her and her face was haggard.
When Mrs. Wang saw Aunt Xue like this, she was also shocked. We sisters are all in a difficult situation. Her younger sister is younger than me, about the same age as Jia Min, but now they look like two generations apart.
Aunt Xue walked unsteadily to Lady Wang and asked softly, "Sister, why did you call me here?"
"Sister, don't stay at home and take the children out for a walk tomorrow!"
Aunt Xue's face turned pale and she shook her head, "Sister, forget it. I have a lot of things to do at home and I can't leave."
Mrs. Wang advised, "There is a Tianqi Temple in the capital, which is very effective. You can go and pray to the gods, and maybe you will get a clue about your nephew's matter."
Aunt Xue's eyes flashed with hope: "Are you serious, sister?"
Madam Wang turned the Buddhist beads in her hand slightly and nodded, "Of course I take it seriously. If I hadn't been busy tomorrow, I would have gone with you."
"If you go, you will be considered to be doing me a favor."
"My child, Baoyu is also lying in bed, unconscious."
"We are connected by the same fate, and I am no better than you."
At this point, Mrs. Wang's eyes also became wet, and Xue Baochai, who was standing by, handed her a handkerchief at the right time.
Mrs. Wang took it, wiped it gently a few times, and put it on the table.
Aunt Xue looked at Madam Wang and burst into tears. She looked at Madam Wang with a choked voice.
"Sister, I only have this one son! If anything happens to him, what's the point of me living?"
Mrs. Wang sighed, reached out and held Aunt Xue's hand.
"Sister, don't think like that. Just listen to me. Your son will be fine."
"If it was done by the Lin family, he wouldn't dare let anything happen to his nephew. You know, the Lin family only has that one descendant."
Although Aunt Xue felt somewhat relieved, she still felt daunted at the thought of leading the team alone. She asked Mrs. Wang,
"Sister, who's going?"
Mrs. Wang's face was gloomy, "You still have Bao Yatou, so let San Yatou go!"
Aunt Xue looked at Xue Baochai who was standing beside her and shook her head, "Sister, this is not appropriate."
"The three girls are all in the Grand View Garden. In terms of closeness, I take care of the third girl. Yingchun and Xichun must also be taken care of."
"To bring these people, you need to report to the old lady."
Aunt Xue was terrified. A grown man could be kidnapped by human traffickers in broad daylight, and she was left to take care of so many girls on her own.
Even more dare not.
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she thought it made sense.
But tomorrow? There really is no one there!
……
"Did you suggest this to your aunt?" Aunt Xue questioned Xue Baochai on the way back from Mrs. Wang's place.
"Don't you think it's wrong?"
"How can our Xue family take the girl from the Jia family out?"
"What if something goes wrong?"
Xue Baochai gently rubbed the silk handkerchief in her hand and replied:
"Mother, it was me, but you didn't even ask me why I said that, and you criticized me without any reason."
"Of course I know it's inappropriate, but I have to say that my aunt and the old lady will go to the queen tomorrow, and my aunt may mention my suggestion to the queen."
"It's enough for you to know my heart, madam."
"I am a girl, and what I want is fame. Do you think I am just playing around?"
After saying this, she shed tears feeling a little aggrieved.
At this time, Ying'er, who was following beside her, saw this and whispered, "Madam, the young lady is worried about you every day."
"Miss, you are suggesting this for the sake of my wife!"
"Doesn't the young master need the Buddha's blessing even more?"
As soon as Ying'er finished speaking, Aunt Xue felt regretful. She had indeed lost her mind recently and had wronged her daughter.
He had no place to vent his anger, so he blamed his daughter.
Thinking of this, Aunt Xue reached out and took Xue Baochai's hand, "My son, don't blame me, I wronged you."
Xue Baochai leaned closer to her mother and said, "Mom, I know you are sad."
"Because of the sadness, we have to work harder to move forward."
……
On the first day of the New Year, after the Lin family had their reunion dinner, Lin Daiyu, Yong'an, and Yongyi all wanted to chat with Jia Min, hoping to let her relax.
Jia Min was really in no mood. She felt a little annoyed watching the children spinning around.
"You guys go out and play!"
"Don't watch over me. I'm fine. I just need some peace and quiet."
Lin Ruhai was also at home today. He said to Lin Daiyu and Yongan, "Yes, go out and take a walk!"
"I'll just stay with your mother."
Jia Min glared at him, and now for some unknown reason she disliked everyone.
Lin Ruhai ignored her and just spread out the paper and started writing.
……
There are more people on the streets of Beijing on the first day of the New Year. Some are visiting to pay New Year's greetings, while others take the opportunity to hang out and invite friends and relatives to have a drink or two.
Everyone wears new clothes and hats, and greets each other on the New Year when they meet.
There were also groups of three or four gathering together, talking a lot, and after dispersing, they would look around in corners.
