save the bachelors

Chapter 4760 [Hedong Lion]

In June, Xue Pan's wife Xia Jingui showed her true colors as a Hedong Lion and began to control Xue Pan and Aunt Xue.

It turns out that the reason why the Xia family married into the Xue family was actually to gain the upper hand.

Firstly, the ancestor of the Xue family was a servant of Ziwei, and the descendants were merchants in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so they should have a lot of connections in the court. In addition, the Xue family has relatives with the Wang family and the Jia family, and the Xue family even lives in the Jia family.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Xia family, the Xue family has a close relationship with the Jia family and the Wang family. In this case, after the marriage between Xia and Xue, the Xia family can rely on the connections and power of the Xue family to expand and strengthen their own business.

But after Xia Jingui got married, she found out that Xue Pan was very embarrassed in the Wang and Jia families.

Wang Ziteng and Jia Zheng didn't care about their nephew at all. They regarded Xue Pan as a waste and let him wander around all day, eat, drink and have fun without any restraint or discipline. Not to mention using their power to help the Xue family gain benefits.

Therefore, it was difficult for the Xue family to take advantage of the Jia and Wang families, and it was even more impossible for the Xia family to take advantage of them.

Secondly, the Xia family originally thought that although the Xue family was on the decline, there should still be 3,000 nails in the rotten ship, and the total family assets should still be around 100,000, 200,000 or 300,000.

But after she got married, she found out that 90% of Xue's businesses had gone bankrupt, and only a few of them were still profitable.

Therefore, although the Xue family was still wealthy in name, they were actually weak inside and did not live up to their reputation. They probably could not even raise 10,000 or 20,000 taels of silver.

Therefore, Xia Jingui originally wanted to secretly transfer Xue's money to Xia's family after becoming the housekeeper. However, she did not expect that not only did Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai not give up their power, but also the Xue family was obviously broke.

In this case, Xia Jingui's marriage to Xue Pan was equivalent to marrying in vain. Not only did she not get any benefit, but she also had to lose her dowry.

So naturally she refused to do it and just started making a scene.

……

Xia Jingui first complained that Xue Pan was a bad person and forced her to have sex with him while he was drunk, which not only injured her but also caused her blood circulation to become blocked and she had to drink tea for many days.

Aunt Xue was so angry that she scolded Xue Pan for his nonsense, "Now that you are married and have a son in front of you, you are still so foolish! She is like a phoenix, and it is not easy to raise a daughter, who is more delicate than a flower. I originally saw that you are a person of character, so I let you marry me.

You don't say you have calmed down, kept to yourself, and lived in harmony, but you are still making trouble, drinking yellow soup, and torturing others. It's a waste of money to buy medicine now."

Xue Pan was at least somewhat filial, and after being scolded by his mother, his spirit immediately diminished, and he never dared to make Xia Jingui angry again.

Less than two months later, Xue Pan got tired of Xia Jingui and set his sights on her maid Baochan. Xia Jingui had intended to pull Xue Pan's pigtails, but she pretended not to know, so Xue Pan got what he wanted.

Afterwards, Xia Jingui made a big fuss at home, saying that Xue Pan had taken possession of her maid.

Aunt Xue never expected her son to be so shameless. He had just been married for less than two months, but he already took possession of the maidservant.

You have to know that although the maidservant is a candidate for the concubine, whether she can be taken depends on the young mistress's opinion. If the young mistress does not allow it, then it is not allowed. It can only be done with the young mistress's consent.

Because the maidservant who came with the dowry was the young mistress's slave and her private property. Just like Ping'er was Wang Xifeng's maidservant who came with the dowry, Jia Lian had to obtain Wang Xifeng's consent if he wanted to touch her, and he couldn't just use force.

Therefore, Aunt Xue scolded Xue Pan again. Xue Pan naturally knew that it was not right for Baochan to tell the truth, so he became more and more afraid of Xia Jingui. Then Xia Jingui found the paper figurine used to ward off evil under her bed and said that it was Baochan who wanted to harm her. Baochan naturally denied it, and Xue Pan did not think it was Baochan who did it.

So Xia Jingui said that Xue Pan and Baochan were in love and wanted to kill her so that they could take over her dowry.

Baochan was also a hot-tempered person. When she saw Xia Jingui falsely accusing her, she also tried to kill herself, drawing her knife and gun, and the two of them started a fight.

Xue Pan was suddenly overwhelmed. Both of them were his women, and now they were quarreling, and he could neither persuade nor beat them, so he could only hide away.

Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai also realized that Xia Jingui was deliberately making trouble. However, it was difficult for the parents-in-law to control the affairs of the bedroom, let alone Xue Baochai, a girl.

Besides, in the final analysis, it was Xue Pan who was wrong first. He had married Xia Jingui for only two months when he forcibly took over the maid who came with her as a dowry. This caused a lot of trouble at home, and the two of them had no way to control it.

In this way, Xia Jingui was very pleased.

When they are happy, they gather together to play cards and dice. When they are angry, they curse and say, "Other bastards are having fun, why shouldn't I be happy?"

Good news doesn’t travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. Soon, the Xue family’s affairs spread throughout the Ning and Rong mansions, and even the powerful circles in the capital knew about it.

Naturally, people looked down on Xue Pan even more from then on. A man of integrity, nicknamed the Dumb King, but he couldn't even control the women in the house. He was truly incompetent.

Even Wang Ziteng and Jia Zheng became increasingly distant from Xue Pan.

Xue Pan couldn't stay at home, so he had to go out with his family to do business again. As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind.

It’s just a pity for Xue Baochai and Aunt Xue, who have to take care of this female demon every day and cannot live in peace.

……

By August, Jia Lian wanted to marry his sister-in-law, You Sanjie, to Liu Xianglian.

It turned out that Jia Zhen and Jia Lian were both the kind of people who were always greedy for more. Now that they had You Erjie, they were already longing for You Sanjie.

But Third Sister You is strong-willed, like a rose with thorns, unlike her elder sister Second Sister You who is weak and submissive.

He angrily rebuked Jia Zhen and Jia Lian to their faces, saying, "You don't have to talk nonsense with me! Let's cook some noodles in clear water, and you eat it and I'll watch. If you bring a shadow puppet onto the stage, at least don't break this layer of paper."

Don't be so foolish as to think that we don't know what's going on in your house! You two brothers spent a few bucks and used us two sisters as prostitutes for fun. You made a wrong calculation!

I also know that your wife is too difficult to deal with. Now that my sister has been kidnapped, whether she is legitimate or not, "stolen gongs and drums cannot be played". I also want to meet this Feng Nairen, to see how many heads and hands she has!

If we can all make peace, that's fine; but if there's something that makes people uncomfortable, I have the guts to take out your two cow gall and dog treasures first, and then fight that bitch to the death!"

As a result, this action frightened Jia Zhen and Jia Lian, who were afraid that she would really break the window paper and tell Wang Xifeng about this matter. That would be like the birthday star eating arsenic - courting death.

Therefore, they discussed marrying off Third Sister Yu.

But Third Sister You had already taken a fancy to Liu Xianglian and was willing to marry him, so Jia Lian went to act as a matchmaker for Liu Xianglian.
