Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 229 Leng Erlang

After hearing this, Jia Rui and Xue Baochai quickly took people out to greet him.

As soon as he reached the second door, he saw Aunt Xue and Cheng Ying hurried in.

As soon as Aunt Xue saw Xue Baochai, she hurried forward, grabbed Xue Baochai's hand, and asked anxiously:

"How is your brother?"

Before Xue Baochai could answer, she continued anxiously: "The person you sent didn't explain clearly. He only said that he was injured and nothing else."

Xue Baochai saw her mother in a hurry and quickly comforted her:
"Mom, please relax, my brother's injury has been stabilized. As long as he rests at home, he will be fine."

Saying that, Xue Baochai helped her mother and walked inside.

As for Cheng Ying, Xue Baochai didn't even look at it.

Jia Rui stared carefully at the woman who finally joined the Xue family, smiled slightly, nodded gently, and then followed Xue Baochai inside.

Cheng Ying seemed to be used to this kind of neglect and didn't care at all. She moved lightly and followed Aunt Xue and others to Xue Baochai's yard.

As soon as I entered the yard, I heard Xue Pan yelling and cursing in the house.

"Okay, Liu Xianglian, just wait until I'm done, and I'll see how I deal with you."

"Don't be so proud, kid. One day I will let you lie down in front of me."

In addition to these, there are also some obscenities.

Xue Baochai and Aunt Xue, who were standing outside, frowned after hearing this.

Cheng Ying, who was following behind, suddenly shouted, "It's not embarrassing, I still have the nerve to shout out."

Following this sentence, Xue Pan's yelling and cursing immediately stopped.

Jia Rui, who was standing nearby, was speechless when he saw this scene.

Xue Pan was considered a lawless person, but when he met this little girl, he was taught to be a docile dog.

At this point, Jia Rui completely believed his previous suspicions. This little girl only regarded Xue Pan as a long-term meal ticket.

Otherwise, with this little girl's intelligence and hotness, Xue Pan would never be able to get close to her.

Aunt Xue turned around and gave Cheng Ying a sharp look, and then said:

"He's already suffered so much. What's wrong with letting him scream twice and vent his anger? You have to take care of this?"

Cheng Ying was very respectful to Aunt Xue, lowering her head and listening to her instructions like a little daughter-in-law.

Jia Rui saw that something was wrong with the atmosphere and hurried over to smooth things over.

"Okay, okay, why are you angry with me? Go in and see Xue Pan."

Jia Rui's identity was unusual. When he spoke, others said nothing. After that, Xue Baochai took Aunt Xue and Cheng Ying into the guest room.

When I came in, I smelled a strong smell of medicine, and then I saw Xue Pan lying on the bed with a bruised nose and swollen face.

When Aunt Xue saw this scene, tears flowed from her eyes. Then she threw Xue Baochai away and rushed towards him.

Ying'er, who was waiting for Xue Pan in front of the bed, saw this scene and quickly stopped her.

"Madam, my uncle's ribs are broken, please be careful."

When Aunt Xue heard this, she calmed down, carefully sat in front of the bed, opened the quilt and took a look.

Aunt Xue frowned when she saw that Xue Pan's chest had been tightly wrapped. Fortunately, no blood leaked out, but the strong smell of medicine was strong.

"Son, does it still hurt?"

Xue Pan lay on the bed and said impatiently: "It's not great anymore."

As he spoke, Xue Pan rolled his eyes and looked at Cheng Ying behind Aunt Xue, with a smile on his face.

Cheng Ying also walked to the bed in small steps, lowered her body, and took Xue Pan's hand.

"I see you won't be able to go out and mess around in the future. If you meet someone powerful in the future, your life will be taken."

Looking at Cheng Ying's little face, Xue Pan's eyes were full of smiles, "I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore, I will live by your side from now on."

"You have said too many sweet words. If you ask me, you should just stay at home."

Cheng Ying, who had always been strong when she said these words, also shed tears in her eyes.

Jia Rui stood behind, watching the scene and rubbing his temples.

It seemed that Cheng Ying had really caught Xue Pan, and Xue Pan was extremely docile in front of Cheng Ying.

How will your plan proceed next?

It turns out that Jia Rui has never forgotten Cheng Ying's refutation of his face, and has been looking for opportunities to prepare for revenge. However, seeing how sweet the couple is now, Jia Rui doesn't know if he should take action.

Xue Baochai spoke at this time, "Brother is seriously injured and cannot move around. Why don't you stay with me during this period and go back to your home when you feel better?"

As Xue Baochai spoke, he looked at Aunt Xue who was sitting on the bedside, meaning to let her make up her mind.

But Aunt Xue opened her mouth and did not speak. Instead, she gently pulled Cheng Ying aside with her hand.

Xue Baochai knew at a glance that the whole family was doomed and had been captured by Cheng Ying.

Cheng Ying nodded slightly, then took Xue Pan's hand and said, "The uncle's injury is not serious. He cannot move casually. That will trouble my sister."

Xue Baochai did not reply to Cheng Ying's words, but nodded slightly.

After that, Jia Rui and Xue Baochai withdrew, leaving the house to Xue Pan's family.

When they came outside, Xue Baochai asked: "Who is so brave and dares to hit my brother?"

Jia Rui had no choice but to tell Xue Baochai about Liu Xianglian.

Xue Baochai's face turned red after hearing this, and without saying a word, he hurried away with Brother Ying.Jia Rui shook his head, then stood in the yard and thought for a while, then went to the study outside.

"Prosperity."

With Jia Rui's call, Wangcai appeared in front of Jia Rui like lightning.

"Master, what are your orders?"

"Take a few servants and find this Liu Xianglian for me."

Wangcai agreed and wanted to go out, but was stopped by Jia Rui again.

"If you don't know where Liu Xianglian lives, go to Jia Rong and ask. If not, let him show you the way."

"Yes, little one understands."

After Wangcai exited the outer study, he came to the square in front, and immediately recruited seven or eight servants, who followed him out of Dingxihou Mansion and headed straight to Ningguo Mansion not far away.

Wangcai's current status is extraordinary. As soon as he calls the door from outside, Jia Rong comes out to greet him personally.

"It turns out to be the steward of Wangcai, please come in and invite me."

Jia Rong doesn't dare to treat Wangcai as a servant. This guy has a lot of face now. Under normal circumstances, Shuntian Mansion and Jiumen Admiral Mansion have to sell his face.

Wangcai shook his hand, and then said: "Uncle Xiao Rong, I have something to do and cannot enter the house. I am looking for Uncle Xiao Rong to ask you something."

"Don't dare, steward Wangcai, please tell me if you have something to say."

"It's not a big deal. I just want to ask where the person named Liu Xianglian lives."

After hearing this, Jia Rong was shocked at first, and then looked at the seven or eight servants behind Wangcai, and knew that he was going to settle the score with Liu Xianglian.

But what does this have to do with him?
Therefore, Jia Rong told the truth about Liu Xianglian's residence.

Wangcai was satisfied after getting the specific information, and then hurriedly led people to find Liu Xianglian.

Let’s talk about it again: Liu Xianglian is indeed brave.

There is a section in Dream of Red Mansions called "Leng Langjun fled to a foreign country to avoid trouble."

It seems that Liu Xianglian was afraid of Xue Pan's revenge, so she left her hometown and went to other places.

In fact, this is not how it is described in the real book at all.

The book just says that Aunt Xue lied to Xue Pan and said: Liu Xianglian was drunk and acted wildly for a while, but now she was sober, regretful and ran away out of fear of guilt.

From this passage, we can know that Liu Xianglian did not leave at all, and was not afraid of Xue Pan's revenge at all, which shows Liu Xianglian's courage.

But it was precisely because of this arrogance that he got into trouble.

Liu Xianglian didn't take Xue Pan seriously. After beating him, she went home and lay on the bed and fell asleep.

While he was sleeping, suddenly there was a loud noise and then the door of his house was kicked open.

Although Liu Xianglian's family has declined, it still has a few servants and some fields. Otherwise, he would not follow Jia Baoyu and other dandies to travel around, eat, drink and have fun every day.

Therefore, as soon as the door was kicked open, an old Cangtou of his house immediately stopped him.

"What do you do? Do you have any laws? Breaking into people's houses in broad daylight?"

The leader, Wang Cai, ignored the old man. With a wave of his hand, a strong man from behind stepped forward and lifted the old man aside.

Although there were one or two maids and servants who came to stop him, how could they stop him when faced with seven or eight strong men?
Just when the commotion was happening, Liu Xianglian's door opened and he walked out.

"What's the fuss about?"

When Wangcai heard this tone, he knew that the rightful owner had arrived.

"Haha, are you Liu Xianglian?"

Liu Xianglian glanced at Wangcai and saw that he was so angry that she knew he was the one causing trouble for her.

"What kind of person are you from?"

"You kid, you just beat someone up and you forgot about it so quickly."

Liu Xianglian understood immediately, "It turns out they are people sent by the Xue family!"

"Haha, now that you know who we are, come with us."

"Why, you call it a private court?"

Wangcai glanced at Liu Xianglian, and then said with his nostrils raised: "To tell you the truth, the court in Shuntian Mansion is the same as ours. Do we need to set up a private court?"

Liu Xianglian was also surprised when she heard this. This tone was too loud.

But he soon realized that the people in front of him were not from the Xue family, but from the Jia Rui family.

Among the Jia family, only Dingxihou Mansion has such a strong tone.

However, Liu Xianglian was not prepared to just surrender.

"You are not on official business. If you want to take me, you have to show some skills."

After saying this, Liu Xianglian threw her coat aside, then went back to the house, picked up a sheathed sword and came out.

"Why do you dare to use weapons? Do you know that this is the emperor's feet?"

"Haha, you forced your way into a house and you didn't allow me to defend myself?"

Wangcai blinked uncertainly, and with a final wave of his hand, the four or five servants behind him rushed forward.

To say that Liu Xianglian's kung fu is indeed good, although it has no internal strength, it is quite capable of breaking through the muscles and bones.

Therefore, although four or five strong men surrounded him, they could only see Liu Xianglian moving around in a flash, with the sword in her hand not unsheathed. She treated it as a stick and beat these servants crying for father and mother with just a few blows.
