Spoilers for The Red Mansion, Daiyu’s mentality is broken

Jia Huanman was worried that Lin Daiyu would be jealous.

And for this kind of thing, the woman should not be blamed for being jealous.

Unexpectedly, there was no look of concern on Lin Daiyu's face. Instead, she asked, "I know that your husband may have something big to do, so he won't stay at home for long."

"What's more, now that my husband is so popular, it would be better to have more concubines and be more sensual. This is the way to protect yourself."

"I wonder how many concubines my husband will have besides Sister Qin?"

"Is there no Sister Bao? Are there no other sisters?"

Jia Huan hurriedly said: "Sister Lin, there is only sister Qin."

"This is also because of the Haitian Island side. It was discussed with Uncle Xue in advance."

After hearing this, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but said: "If that's the case, then it would be better to accept it earlier and bring Sister Qin over earlier."

Next, the Ningguo Mansion sent Lin Zhixiao to the Xue family to propose marriage.

Lin Zhixiao wore a formal dress and came to Xue's house. After questioning, he went directly in to meet Xue Baoqin's brother Xue Biao.

Lin Zhixiao gave 10,000 taels of silver as a betrothal gift. We agreed to pick him up three days later.

Even when getting married, one only needs to be carried on a blue-clothed sedan chair and enter the house through the side door or the corner door.

Husband and wife do not worship heaven and earth, nor do they worship high halls.

The concubine entered the house and kowtowed to the lady and served tea, thus completing the ceremony.

After Lin Zhixiao proposed marriage in Xue Mansion, he returned to Ningguo Mansion for business.

Besides, no one in the Xue Mansion, except for the second roommate, knew the news.

On the other side of the house, they didn’t know anything at first.

When Dafang learned about this, he couldn't help but be shocked.

Especially Xue Baochai.

She fully thought that after Brother Huan married Lin Daiyu, she would marry him as his concubine soon.

Her brother Xue Pan has taken care of this matter, and there will be no more surprises.

Unexpectedly, Bao Qin intercepted her in the middle, and something like this happened.

Although the Xue family is not a family of poetry, books and hairpins, it is still one of the four major families in Jinling, and they also need face.

It is already very shameful for their second wife's legitimate daughter to marry as a concubine.

There is absolutely no reason why the daughter-in-law of the second wife should be a concubine, and the daughter-in-law of the first wife should be a concubine with the same person again.

If this is the case, the Xue family will really become the laughing stock of others.

Therefore, since Baoqin will marry into Ningguo Mansion as a concubine in three days, there is no reason for her to remarry.

Thinking of this, Xue Baochai couldn't help but despair.

When Xue Pan learned about this, he was almost furious.

He was furious and said: "How can the second wife do such a thing without an asshole? Wait until I go find Xue Biao and see if I don't beat his shit out, he will be clean!"

After saying that, Xue Pan stood up and left.

Aunt Xue hurriedly shouted: "Where are you going? Why don't you stop for me?"

Xue Pan stopped, turned his head and rubbed his neck and said: "Mom, this matter is just what the second room did wrong, please leave it alone!"

At this time, Fu Qiufang couldn't help but said: "Ms. sir, please listen to what mom has to say before you make any calculations."

After hearing Fu Qiufang's words, Xue Pan immediately turned around and listened to Aunt Xue's words honestly.

Aunt Xue couldn't help but said: "Pan'er, I said you were crazy and careless about the future, but you are still not convinced."

"I just want to ask you, how did you ask Zhu'er when you met him? Although you have been saying all day long that you want your sister to be a concubine with Brother Huan, have you ever said this to Zhu'er?"

"No one knows about this. If you go to see Zhu'er, how can you accuse him?"

When Aunt Xue asked this question, Xue Pan was immediately speechless.

After a long while, he said: "Didn't he tell my eldest brother about such a big matter? Does he still care about my eldest brother?"

Aunt Xue couldn't help but said: "This is not a glorious thing. Aren't we not prepared to tell the second bedroom? How can we blame the second bedroom?"

Xue Pan was speechless when asked again. After a while, he asked: "Mom, what should I do now?"

Aunt Xue sighed: "What else can we do? Our Xue family wants to have some face at least, and having a legitimate daughter as a concubine is already making people laugh."

"There is absolutely no reason for the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law to be concubines with the same person at the same time. If this is the case, my Xue family will lose all face. We will have no shame to go out to meet people in the future."

Next to him, Xue Baochai's face became even more bleak after hearing this.

Xue Pan couldn't help but said: "Mom, how old is my sister now? If she doesn't become Brother Huan's concubine? Can she still find a good family?"

Aunt Xue sighed: "How could I have expected that something like this would happen? This is fate, and you can't control it at all!"

Xue Pan said impatiently: "Fate! Fate! I don't believe that this is all fate. It's obviously all your fault!"

"If you hadn't been determined to betroth my sister to some handsome boy, and you had followed my advice, I would have become Brother Huan's wife long ago."

"Even if you listened to me for the second time, my sister would have already married Brother Huan as my concubine!"

"Do you still remember what I said last time? If you don't listen to me, your sister will never be a concubine in the future! But now I am saying it?"

Aunt Xue was so angry and anxious by what Xue Pan said that she couldn't help wiping away her tears and said, "You evildoer, what the hell are you saying?"

"I am your mother, can I still harm you? Don't I want to make you better?"

Xue Pan glared and said, "Mom, you are so old! From now on, I can no longer listen to you on anything in this family. If you listen to you, sooner or later something bad will happen!"

"I can't listen to you anymore about my sister. I'm going to find Brother Huan right now. If I want to take my sister in, I have to take her in as well."

"If Brother Huan doesn't agree, I won't leave at his house!"

Hearing this, Aunt Xue couldn't help but said angrily: "What the hell are you talking about, you bastard?"

"In our Xue family, how can it be that both of our legitimate daughters should become concubines? How can we, from a family like ours, not give up any face at all?"

Xue Pan frowned and said loudly: "Face! Face! Everyone lives their own lives behind closed doors. Who cares about his face?"

"Whoever dares to talk nonsense in front of me will see if I don't spit shit in his face!"

"Mom, you are so oblivious! If you continue to manage the house, our family will be separated and our family will be destroyed! From now on -"

Before Xue Pan could finish speaking, Aunt Xue got up angrily and chased after Xue Pan.

Xue Pan circled around the room.

Fu Qiufang couldn't help but hurriedly stopped the two of them.

Aunt Xue wiped away her tears and took Fu Qiufang's hand and said, "Qiufang, do you listen to what he said in human language? He listens to you the most. Please help mom talk to him."

Fu Qiufang took Aunt Xue's hand, asked her to sit down, and then said calmly: "Mother-in-law, I think what my husband said is quite reasonable."

"No one can stand on the top of the bridge for a lifetime. Among our four major families, does the Wang family still have its former glory? The Shi family has also declined."

"Only the Jia family seems to be more prosperous than before. And my Xue family also relied on Brother Huan to make a fortune again." "In fact, the status in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not as good as before. After the next generation, So what? Can you still be among the four major families?"

"When the sun is shining, it will be empty, and when the vessel is full, it will collapse. Since my Xue family is no longer what it used to be, why should we cling to the glory of the past?"

"Is face really more important than my sister's lifelong events?"

After Fu Qiufang finished speaking, Aunt Xue couldn't help but think deeply.

The fact that the Xue family ranks among the four major families is because the ancestors of the Xue family devoted their entire family efforts to support the Supreme Emperor and obtained a Ziweishe talent.

But now, the Xue family has lost the official position of Ziwei Sheren.

Even his position in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not as good as before.

Among the four major families in Jinling in the past, the Wang family has completely declined, and the Shi family has also gradually declined.

The Xue family is richer than before. But if you don't have enough strength, you will definitely not be able to keep such a huge family business.

Not marrying Bao Yatou to Huan Ge'er as a concubine would save the Xue family's face.

But is the Xue family’s face really that important?

And marrying Bao Yatou to Brother Huan as a concubine would actually be beneficial to the Xue family.

If Bao Yatou doesn't marry Brother Huan, it will actually be difficult to find a suitable in-law.

Aunt Xue thought of this and was about to speak when she heard Xue Pan take the lead and said: "Mom, I just said that you are always oblivious. You still don't believe me?"

"Listen, my wife said the same thing, right? From now on..."

Fu Qiufang quickly said: "Ms. sir, let's listen to what my mother-in-law has to say first!"

Aunt Xue glared at Xue Pan, and then said: "I'm old, and I don't think about things as carefully as you do. I'll just listen to you on this matter!"

Hearing what Aunt Xue said, Xue Pan suddenly became proud.

Just as he was about to speak, Fu Qiufang suddenly stretched out her hand and patted his palm twice.

Xue Pan immediately closed his mouth and stopped talking.

Next to him, Xue Baochai was stunned at first, but soon he heard them discussing about himself.

In the end, Aunt Xue was persuaded by her sister-in-law and agreed to marry Jia Huan as her concubine.

Xue Baochai couldn't help but feel so ashamed that she couldn't help but get up and leave.

After getting out of the house, Xue Baochai thought of his sister-in-law Fu Qiufang.

It was she who persuaded her mother to agree to the marriage just now.

If she hadn't persuaded her, her mother would never have agreed.

And now her brother really obeys her words.

With this sister-in-law at home, she can rest assured even if she gets married.

And after getting Aunt Xue's permission, Xue Pan became more and more confident and went straight out to Ningguo Mansion to talk to Brother Huan.

Aunt Xue chased after her and shouted: "Pan'er, when you go to Haosheng to talk, don't say you're screwed."

Fu Qiufang smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, it's okay. My husband and brother Huan are as good as brothers, and nothing will go wrong."

After hearing what Fu Qiufang said, Aunt Xue thought for a while and realized that this was indeed the case.

Brother Huan is such a dazzling person, but he happened to meet the devil in his family, and they were like brothers.

The two of them would indeed not have any conflicts over such matters.

Thinking of this, Aunt Xue stopped paying attention to Xue Pan and took Fu Qiufang's hand into the room to talk.

Let us say that Xue Pan drove straight to Ningguo Mansion. When he arrived at Ningguo Mansion, Xue Pan swaggered to Ninglu Hall.

This time he did not rush in directly, but waited at the door and let the maid go in to report.

The reason is because Brother Huan is already married.

Xue Pan is just a fool, not stupid.

Although he looked carefree in front of everyone, he was also the same in front of Jia Huan.

But in the past two years, he has actually been careful with Jia Huan.

Soon, Jia Huan came out.

As he held Xue Pan's hand and walked in, he smiled and said, "Brother Xue is separated from me now? Are you willing to come in before I come out to pick you up?"

Xue Pan chuckled and said, "Isn't this Brother Huan, are you getting married? I am a rough man, and it would be bad if I bump into my younger siblings."

Jia Huan smiled and said: "This is absolutely unheard of. Brother Xue won't have to do this in the future."

Hearing these words, Xue Panke became energetic.

He couldn't help but raise his eyes and asked: "Brother Huan, what you did in this matter is not authentic. Do you have to give me an explanation today?"

Jia Huan asked curiously: "I wonder what Brother Xue is talking about? If I am really careless and do something wrong, I will definitely give Brother Xue an explanation."

Xue Pan immediately said: "Come on, Brother Huan, I heard that in three days, you will pick up Sister Qin to come over?"

Taking someone's uncle's sister as a concubine is somewhat embarrassing.

Jia Huan said: "That's what happened. I was just planning to tell you that I would like you to come over for a drink one day, but I didn't expect that you knew about it in advance."

Xue Pan immediately said: "Brother Huan, what you did is not authentic."

"We clearly agreed that you would take my sister as your concubine? How can you take my sister Qin as your concubine now? I don't care, you have to give me an explanation for this matter."

After hearing what Xue Pan said, Jia Huan said helplessly: "Brother Xue, you don't want to say this carelessly."

"When did I agree to this? Besides, even though you mentioned this once or twice in front of me, you always said it as a joke."

"Sister Bao is the legitimate daughter of your Xue family. How can you be my concubine? You must never say this again in the future."

Xue Pan couldn't help but said: "Brother Huan, you can't cross the river and demolish the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey, start the chaos and end up abandoning it!"

"You yourself admit that I mentioned this matter in front of you. Besides, although you didn't agree, you didn't object either, right?"

"I have already made an agreement with my mother and sister at home, and my sister has also decided that I will not marry you unless I am."

"Now you suddenly regret it, what should I do with my sister? If you don't agree to take my sister as your concubine, I will stay in your house and never leave!"

Jia Huan said helplessly: "Brother Xue, how can you, the Xue family, have two legitimate daughters marry me as my concubine?"

"Besides, Sister Qin has already agreed, and there is absolutely no reason to go back on it. Therefore, I really can't explain this matter to you."

Xue Pan couldn't help but said: "Brother Huan, apart from the name of one of the four major families, what else does my Xue family have? Where can I put on any airs?"

"Besides, my mother has also agreed. Today you just have to say a word, are you willing to take my sister as your concubine?"

"If you say no, I will turn away and leave. I will never bother you again."

Hearing what Xue Pan said, Jia Huan felt a little embarrassed.

Jia Huan knew that this guy didn't speak well, and he wasn't sure whether Aunt Xue really agreed to this. (End of chapter)
