Seeing and asking, Xue Pan had no choice but to vomit bitterness to Baoyu. Baoyu didn't have the time to listen to him. He only heard that Xiangling had been wronged and wanted to marry and meet once, so he said to Xue Pan, "I haven't seen my mother-in-law for a few days. I think it’s time to pay a visit.” Xue Pan nodded and said, “It’s okay, my mother has spent a lot of time and energy over that wicked woman these days, so she will be happy if you go. Baoyu nodded, packed up the scrolls, and Xue Pan led them all the way to Lixiangyuan.

Here Jia Lian is coming back from Java, so he went to Mrs. Wang first.Jia Lian went to Mrs. Wang's side and told them one by one.The next day, I went to the Ministry to make arrangements, and when I came back, I went to Mrs. Wang's side to inform about the arrangements for the Ministry of Officials.Mrs. Wang then said: "Are you sure about it? Sure enough, the master is willing, and the whole family is also at ease. How can anyone do that! If you don't come back like that, I'm afraid those bastards will kill the master's life." It's gone!" Jia Lian said, "Where does Madam know?" Mrs. Wang said, "Since your second uncle let go of his foreign job, he hasn't got any money back. He has gone to the house for a long time. Look at those who go with the master." He's a man, when his man is outside for a long time, those little old women will dress up in gold and silver. Aren't they trying to get money out of the master? Your uncle will let them make trouble, if something happens , not only can't be my own official, I'm afraid even the ancestor's official will be erased." Jia Lian said: "Auntie is very right. I heard about Shen just now, and I was so frightened. I didn't feel relieved until I found out. I also hope that the master can be a Beijing official and work comfortably for a few years before he can keep his reputation for a lifetime. Even if the old lady knows, she can rest assured, as long as the wife speaks more leniently." Mrs. Wang said: "I I know. Go and find out after all." Jia Lian heard this, said yes, and walked away.

Besides, Baoyu and Xue Pan were coming in a hurry. Xue Pan didn't understand why Baoyu was in such a hurry, so he shouted from behind, "Baoyu, Baoyu, I said Baoyu, why are you walking in such a hurry?" Baoyu didn't have time to explain , I had an intuition that something would happen today, and without needing to explain, I just said: "Brother Xue, let's go quickly, I always feel that something will happen today."

Sure enough, before Baoyu and Xue Pan arrived, they could only hear the sound of crying inside.Xue Pan listened carefully and said hurriedly, "This is my mother's voice. Why is she crying?" He hurriedly rushed in, followed by Baoyu.

But I saw a person lying upright on the ground. She vomited blood from the corner of her mouth, her face was pale, and her lips were black.Xue Pan rushed forward, shaking and crying.Without any explanation, she pulled Xiangling over and questioned: "Tell me, did you do it?" Xiangling had already cried into tears, shaking her head and said: "Master, how dare I do this, I am wronged!" Ling shouted and kowtowed injustice, how could that idiot Xue Pan think so much, he already believed in his heart that it was Xiang Ling's good deed, and a wave of his hand was a slap.

Baoyu hurriedly stopped him and said, "Brother Xue, why did you beat him up before you figured it out!" Xue Pan was questioned by Baoyu, stayed for a while and cried again.

Baoyu came over and said, "Do you have a man named Baochan here?" Xiangling hurriedly said, "This sister is Baochan."Baoyu went over and asked, "You should know the truth, right?" Baochan was startled, and hurriedly said, "I don't know, I don't know anything." If you know something, say it quickly, or don't blame me for doing it!" Baochan thought that Xue Pan would turn to her, but he didn't expect Xue Pan to curse at her, so he had to tell the truth.

Baochan said: "I made the soup. I brought it here and I have something to go. I don't know what Xiangling put in it to kill him." Regardless of Xiangling Baochan, someone will buy it for him. When he comes back, the Ministry of Punishment will have to ask about it, so he won’t let it go. Now put the rights of the daughter-in-law in an upright manner, so that the officials can come and test her.” All the wives came up to lift her up.Baochai said: "It's all men who come in. Check and check the things women use." There was a crumpled paper bag under the bed.Jingui's mother picked it up when she saw it, and when she opened it, there was nothing there, so she pushed it away.Baochan saw it and said: "It's not that I have evidence. I recognize this paper bag. The rats made a fuss a few days ago. Grandma went to my uncle's house to ask for it. I took it back and put it in the jewelry box. Xiangling must have seen it." I bought medicine to kill grandma. If you don’t believe me, check to see if there is any in the jewelry box.”

Aunt Xue followed Baochan's instructions and took out the box. There were only a few silver hairpins.Aunt Xue said, "Why are so many jewelries gone?" Baochai asked someone to open the cabinets, but they were all empty, and said, "Sister-in-law, who took these things? You have to ask Baochan." After seeing Aunt Xue inquiring about Baochan, she said, "Where did the girl's things go? How would I know?" Baochan said, "I know that Miss Xiangling follows Grandma every day, so she must have taken it!" "This treasure toad sees that he is asking too many questions, so he doesn't want to be careless."

Baoyu said at this time: "Whoever took it, you can find out if you search it, and you don't need to deny it." Baochan seemed confident when he heard it, and said, "What the second master said is right, just search it." Aunt Xue I also thought it had to be like this, Xue Pan was impatient and didn't wait for them to search, so he snatched those boxes and checked them one by one. There were only a few embroidered shirts and a few handkerchiefs.In Xiangling's closet, there were several books. Xue Pan didn't want to search them any more, but Baochan said, "Master, there is still one box that hasn't been checked." Xue Pan said, "It's all books, so don't worry , It must be your hoof that has falsely accused a good person." Xue Pan stared at Baochan fiercely, and Baochan said with an aggrieved face: "If you don't believe me, just open the box and you will find out." This sentence fell into the ears of others It was okay, but it fell into Baoyu's ears, which made Baoyu suspicious.Baoyu thought: "Why does this girl keep instigating Xue Pan to open that box, as if she already knew what's in that box, this girl is very suspicious."

Xue Pan was so entangled that he had no choice but to open the box.As soon as he opened the box, Xue Pan was also shocked. It was full of jewelry and some silver taels.Xue Pan walked by a few steps, and slapped Xiangling's fair cheek with a slap.Xiangling shook her head with tears in her eyes and said: "No, Lord, I didn't steal that, I never did such a thing." Baoyu also thought so, Xiangling was a person and Baoyu naturally knew that she would not do such a thing .Baoyu waited for a gap where no one else was paying attention, and took a look at the girl, only to see a few traces of cunning flashing across her face, as if she was a successful fox, Baoyu was about to speak, but Baochai spoke first.
