The turmoil over the imperial concubine's marriage visit has not completely dissipated, but there has been quite a commotion in the Xue family.
When Jia Baoyu heard the news and rushed over, many people were already here.
Sisters like Yingchun, Tanchun, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, and Sister Feng have all arrived early.
They, the grandmothers in charge, were all in the backyard and received the news much earlier than Baoyu. Baoyu was in the front yard, next to Jia Zheng's study, and the distance was further away.
“How is the situation??”
Seeing that his mother was also there, Jia Baoyu went to say hello first, and then began to ask about the specific situation.
"My son, why are you here? Have you finished the homework assigned by your father??"
Mrs. Wang knew that during this period, Jia Zheng was very strict with Jia Baoyu, and Mr. Xu was even more strict. If Jia Baoyu delayed her homework because of laziness, the two of them would not show mercy.
Jia Baoyu nodded.
"It's already done. Besides, even if it's not done, my father won't be embarrassed by my coming to visit. Things have priorities, and studying is not something that can be done in a day. You can't hear the news. But if you don't come to visit, it's disrespectful.
Got it!"
Mrs. Wang was very pleased to hear Jia Baoyu's words. During this period, Jia Baoyu had indeed made great progress compared with before.
"By the way, mother, how is brother Xue Pan?"
Jia Baoyu asked again.
Mrs. Wang sighed.
"I don't know the specific situation yet. I just asked the imperial doctor, and your brother Pan had already passed out when he was sent back. He still hasn't woken up yet."
Aunt Xue on the side burst into tears, shouting, "My son, my son, why did he become like this in just a short time?"
Now he didn't know why, and Jia Baoyu couldn't be comforted, but since his mother and Mrs. Xing were with him, he didn't say much.
He nodded to the sisters in the room and walked towards the inner room.
The imperial doctor in the house was still checking his pulse and checking his injuries.
After confirming that he had just passed out, he breathed a sigh of relief.
As the old doctor of Tai Hospital, he doesn't like to deal with powerful people. If he can be cured, that's fine. If he can't be cured, not only will he lose face, but he will even offend the master's family. This is a thankless task.
At this time, Jia Baoyu walked in.
"Imperial physician, how is Xue Pan?"
He didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point.
Seeing that the person who came was a young master, the imperial doctor was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to have guessed something, and he cupped his hands and replied: "This Mr. Xue is not seriously ill, he just passed out, and the injuries on his body are just flesh wounds.
"
Hearing this answer, Jia Baoyu also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sir, do you have a magic trick for rejuvenation? There is just something I want to ask Xue Pan!"
Jia Baoyu was about to turn around and leave, but the next moment, he remembered something. During this period, Xue Pan was very honest and didn't go out much. Even when he went out, it was always close by. How could he offend others? He would do it again.
He was beaten unconscious.
"this......"
The old doctor was a little hesitant. If he could wake up Xue Pan, he did have many methods. However, he was not sure about Jia Baoyu's identity yet, so he just rashly woke up Xue Pan. If something went wrong, there would be no one there at that time.
Beg for mercy for him.
“May I ask who the master is??”
Although the imperial doctor was hesitant, he still asked just to be on the safe side.
Jia Baoyu glanced at the old doctor. He had no impression of this person. He was probably not the doctor Wang who was invited to consult Jia Mu and him. Jia Baoyu could understand the other party's concerns, so he did not embarrass him.
.
"My surname is Jia, Lord Jia Zheng of Rongguo Palace is my father."
When the old doctor heard this, he secretly thought that this was indeed the case.
With this demeanor, he guessed that he must be the imperial concubine's biological brother.
"I've met Mr. Jia."
"The imperial doctor does not need to be polite. My mother and the grandmothers in the house are waiting outside. After all, Xue Pan is a foreigner and it is not convenient for him to come in, so he asked me to ask questions. Just feel free to do it."
Jia Baoyu thought of an explanation and tried to prevaricate.
The imperial doctor did not doubt him in his heart. This statement was reasonable and well-founded, and he felt that there was no problem.
"Master Jia, please wait a moment. I will give Mr. Xue two injections."
It didn't take long for Xue Pan to wake up under the imperial doctor's silver needle.
Seeing the scene in the room, Xue Pan was about to yell, but was held down by Jia Baoyu, who had quick eyes and quick hands.
"Wenlong, I am Baoyu."
By the way, Jia Baoyu waved his hand and asked the imperial doctor to go down first.
"Tell the grandmas that I will talk to Xue Pan and let them not worry."
After the imperial doctor left, Jia Baoyu slowly let go of his hand.
At this time, Xue Pan was not mentally stable yet, so Jia Baoyu did not ask questions immediately, but sat down by the bed.
After a while, Xue Pan gradually recovered.
“Wenlong, what’s going on??”
When Jia Baoyu saw that Xue Pan had recovered, he asked about the situation.
Xue Pan smiled bitterly.
“Brother Yu, it’s hard to say it all, it’s hard to say it all!!”
Seeing Xue Pan's words, Jia Baoyu knew that things might not be that simple, and his heart sank.
Things in the family have been going up and down recently. Although his sister is supporting him, he has a feeling that a storm is coming.
"Then let's make a long story short."
Seeing Baoyu being so serious, Xue Pan felt a lot calmer. He had only seen this kind of calmness in those gentlemen. He didn't expect that Jia Baoyu, whom he hadn't seen for just a few months, would have such a demeanor.
"To be honest, I don't know who that person is, and I couldn't hold it in anymore. I wanted to go out to have some fun, and I didn't go far, which is the nearby Yichun House."
"But after I entered, I found that there was no girl here. Later, I asked the old madam, and then I found out that I was called over by a man named Yuan Qi. I couldn't be more angry. He was just one person. Why did he order so many people?
I went to find him and planned to argue with him, but the other party turned out to be unreasonable at all and sent someone to knock him out."
"As for who the real owner is, I haven't even met him in person, so I can't be sure. Also, the name Yuan Qi is probably a pseudonym. Anyway, this is the first time I heard it in the capital."
Jia Baoyu frowned.
"Just because of this??"
This is not a big deal. There are many jokes among the dandies in the capital when they hang out in the Flower House and are jealous of each other, including the one involving Xue Pan. However, it would be unjustifiable to directly knock someone out because of jealousy.
No one is sure who is responsible for the attack. If the attack is serious and someone is killed, the big families behind it are not easy to deal with.
Hearing Baoyu's question, Xue Pan seemed to have come to his senses.
Yes, I didn't deliberately stir up trouble. The other party shouldn't be so cruel.
