"How is Xue's cousin recently?" Xue Chen asked with a smile.

Xue Baochai's face froze, and her eyelids drooped. She didn't believe it. With Xue Chen's current ability, he didn't know what happened to Xue Pan.

Seeing Xue Baochai ignore him, Xue Chen still had a smile on his face, without any embarrassment on his face.

"Last time I was seriously injured by someone, and it was thanks to my cousin Xue who spent a lot of money to save my life. I think it took half a year, but I never had the time to thank my cousin face to face." Xue Chen emphasized the word "thank you".

Hearing this, Xue Baochai's expression became even stiffer. Although it has been half a year since Xue Chen's incident, Xue Baochai still remembers it vividly. The last time those people made a big fuss in front of Xue's mansion, it made Aunt Xue and herself angry. unclear.

It took a lot of money to save Xue Chen's life.

Now that Xue Chen is thanking Xue Baochai, even if the words are true, it is extremely ironic in her ears.Xue Baochai looked out the window, frowned slightly, and looked a little anxious. This awkward atmosphere made her unable to stay for a moment.

"I happen to be free tomorrow. I don't know if my cousin is at the house. I will prepare a generous gift to thank you." Xue Chen continued to speak regardless of Xue Baochai's stiff face.

When he said this, he had a smile on his face.

The more Xue Chen said this, the more shame Xue Baochai felt. A smart man pretended to be confused and said good things, but every sentence was slapping people in the face.

Xue Baochai smiled wryly, "Brother Chen, what happened last time was my elder brother's fault, but now that the Xue family is like this, why do you need to make trouble." Xue Baochai said pitifully, helplessly.

Xue Chen narrowed his eyes, but the smile on his face remained undiminished, "Did you make trouble? Heh, Xue Baochai seems to have forgotten that it was Xue Pan who wanted his life first. Even if he is making trouble now, it is the Xue family who owes me !"

"Why did you get into trouble, Cousin Xue, why can't I understand what you are talking about?" Xue Chen said, listening to the voice, as if he really didn't know anything.

Xue Baochai raised her head, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth, as expected, everyone pushed her against the wall, and she was ridiculed like that at the Lin family in the morning, and now she met Xue Chen again, why should she bear the responsibility of her brother's sins!

Her eyes slowly dimmed, and her voice was not as gentle as before, "Cousin Chen, don't you know that my brother was framed by others and is now in the prison of the government office?"

Since Xue Chen wanted to see a joke, Xue Baochai didn't hide it anymore, and just said it directly, he could laugh as much as he wanted.

"Is there such a thing?" Xue Chen frowned slightly, looking a little surprised, as if he didn't know there was such a thing.

Xue Baochai looked at Xue Chen coldly, she didn't believe that this person would not know about this matter.

"Who was it framed by?" Xue Chen continued to ask, his tone very caring.

"It's those white-eyed wolves who are not familiar with it." Xue Baochai said in a cold voice. At this time, she has forgotten what it means to be generous.

Xue Chen was not angry at all when he heard Xue Baochai say this.

"I have some contacts here, enough to help." Xue Chen said unhurriedly.

"They were all sentenced to death, so what else can we do to reverse the case." If Lin Ruhai said this, Xue Baochai would still believe it, but when it came from Xue Chen, Xue Baochai would just think that he was talking big. Even if a businessman has great ability, can he still involve in court affairs?

Xue Chen laughed out loud, "Cousin, don't you believe I have this ability?"

Xue Baochai glanced at Xue Chen and didn't speak, but this attitude was already tacit.

"In the past six months, I have seen a lot of officials. If my cousin hurts the son of some important person, there is no problem in saving my life." Xue Chen said, as if he was talking about a trivial matter, his tone was very confident .

Hearing this, Xue Baochai's expression became serious, and she looked Xue Chen up and down, "Cousin Chen, is what you said true?"

Seeing Xue Chen's confident appearance, Xue Baochai was a little shaken. Perhaps, he really has a way.

Xue Baochai looked at this cousin from afar again. In just half a year, he has gone from such a down-and-out appearance to his current position. He must not be able to do it on his own. big shot.

Thinking of this, Xue Baochai began to look at Xue Chen squarely, "What can Cousin Chen do?" Xue Baochai asked.

Xue Chen smiled, "There are many ways, but the price..." He looked at Xue Baochai, but didn't say the following words.

"How much money is needed, as long as the Xue family can get it..."

Before Xue Baochai could speak, Xue Chen sneered, "Cousin thinks that cousin Xue's life can be bought back with money alone?"

"What does Cousin Chen want?" Xue Baochai's voice became cold, and she watched Xue Chen remain motionless.

"Of course it will be exchanged with the most precious things of the Xue family." Xue Chen looked at Xue Baochai and said word by word.

"Imperial Merchant." Xue Baochai said, and then his eyes turned cold.

"It's said that cousin Xue is smart, she really deserves her reputation." Xue Chen clapped his hands and said, but Xue Baochai next to him didn't have a smile on his face.

"Except for this, everything else is fine." Xue Baochai flatly refused. Without the identity of the imperial merchant, the Xue family would really be worthless.

"This won't work." Xue Chen shook his head regretfully, "What about two-thirds of the Xue family's property?"

Hearing this, Xue Baochai stood up with a gloomy expression, "Cousin Chen is playing tricks on me!"

"Cousin, why did you say that? Isn't the life of cousin Xue's family worth these silver taels?" Xue Chen responded with a smile on his face.

Not worth it, of course not worth it!Xue Baochai subconsciously thought this way, but she didn't show it on the surface.If she had other brothers, she wished that Xue Pan would die early. Apart from causing trouble, he can be said to be useless, and his existence would only be a stain on her.

"Choose one, I will protect Xue Pan's life." Xue Chen said, and he also stood up, "Cousin Xue, you don't have much time left."

"I don't count the matter of the imperial merchants." Xue Baochai tried to be sloppy.

Xue Chen smiled, and he nodded, "Did the cousin choose the second option?"

Xue Baochai frowned, "Ten shops," she said.

Xue Chen laughed, rubbed his ears, and looked like I had misheard, "Cousin Xue's life is worth such a little money?"

"This..." Xue Baochai seemed a little hesitant. In fact, Xue Pan's life was in her heart, and even the money was not worth it. If Xue Pan disappeared, all Xue Baochai could rely on was money and dowry.

So Xue Baochai had to think carefully about money matters.

"It's getting late, the carriage must have arrived, and it's time for Xue's cousin to go back." Xue Chen suddenly put away the smile on his face, and made a gesture of invitation to the door.

"Fifteen shops." Xue Baochai continued to increase the price, but Xue Chen had no intention of haggling with her.

He shook his head, walked to the door, and opened it, "Xue has something else to do, so he left first."

Before Xue Baochai could react, Xue Chen went downstairs, and when he turned around, there was a mocking smile on his face.

Xue Pan, Xue Pan, even your biological sister has abandoned you, so what is the point of your life.

The encounter between Xue Chen and Xue Baochai this time was not a coincidence, it was specially arranged by Lin Daiyu.

She looked at Xue Baochai's idiot brother who was so nervous about her, and suddenly she wanted to know how deep her brother-sister bond was.If Xue Baochai can really give up everything in the Xue family for Xue Pan, Lin Daiyu can consider letting Xue Pan go.

But this result is really sad and ridiculous. At first, Lin Daiyu thought that Xue Pan was worth a half of the Xue family's property in Xue Baochai's heart, but she never thought that she really overestimated Xue Pan in Xue Baochai's heart. position in the heart.

A mere ten shops are really cheap, this brother-sister relationship is really cheap.

However, Xue Baochai really thinks that if Xue Pan goes, she alone can keep the Xue family's wealth?It's so innocent and cute.

The Xue family went through various channels and spent a lot of money, but in the end it didn't change the fact that Xue Pan was executed.

The Xue family wailed, but this was just the beginning.

The so-called wall is falling and everyone is pushing it, this is true.

The members of the Xue family saw that the head of Xue's house was no longer in charge, and they all bullied him, and everyone's goal was set on the position of the imperial merchant.

Xue Baochai thought simply at first, she thought that even without Xue Pan, she could still keep the imperial merchant with her ability.

But those old foxes in the Xue family are not as simple as she thought. They spent most of their lives fighting and eating more salt than Xue Baochai. With Xue Baochai as an orphan and widow, it is impossible to fight them of.

Everyone is robbing. After all, the Xue family still has some strength. After resisting for a while, both sides have suffered a lot. Today you go to my shop to make trouble, and tomorrow I will go to your shop to make trouble.

In the end, what people didn't expect was that they also put their minds on this year's royal procurement. One of them was confused and replaced the purchased items with defective products. He wanted to use this to threaten Xue Baochai, but he didn't expect it Yes, this batch of goods was actually shipped out.

Now everyone panicked, this made the matter worse, the internal strife within the family was nothing to worry about, if it was because of this strife, losing the job of the Imperial Businessman would be a risk of death.

Everyone has lost their minds, and it is too late to get the things back now, but once they enter the palace, it is a capital offense to deceive the emperor. Shang is still in the house of Xue's parents, and has nothing to do with them.

Xue Baochai also panicked, not knowing what to do. Now she really regrets it. If she knew this was the result, she might as well have complied with Xue Chen's request, and would not have ended up in such a situation. It's over. ...Everything is over, this is a capital offense.
