Red Mansion: Defying The Heavens And Changing Fate, Concubine Wang Xifeng

Even Wang Fengjie stared at Jia Rui in a daze. This man is really shameless to the extreme! Jia Rui changed the subject. "Second Master, Second Madam, our Jia Clan Ancestral Hall has become very dilapidated! This is really a shame to our ancestors! As the patriarch of the clan, I feel very sad! I want to ask the second master and the second madam for money, but it is difficult for them! I want to honor the old lady, the second master, and the second madam, but I am short of money!" While complaining, Jia Rui took out eight silver notes with a face value of one hundred from his arms and stuffed them into Wang Fengjie's sleeves without any fireworks. Wang Fengjie naturally understood what Jia Rui meant. She placed the eight silver notes lightly on the coffee table in front of Jia Zheng and his wife. Seeing the eight hundred taels of silver in front of them, Jia Zheng and his wife's eyes were instantly dull. In the past, eight hundred taels of silver were not worth mentioning for the Rongguo Mansion, which was rich and powerful! However, the construction of the Grand View Garden consumed all the savings and caused many famines!

For the current Rongguo Mansion, eight hundred taels of silver is almost a huge sum of money!

It must be said that Jia Rui's "hush money" is still very useful-

Seeing the eight hundred taels of silver in front of him, Jia Zheng tactfully changed the subject.

When Jia Rui stood up to say goodbye, everyone in the audience was happy.

…

The Xue family is already in a state of chaos.

Although Xue Pan is useless, with him, the Xue family has a backbone.

Now, with Xue Pan in prison, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai just cry, and the Xue family suddenly falls into a situation of being leaderless!

After being persuaded by the servants, Aunt Xue finally cheered up and said to Xue Baochai - "Child, accept your fate!" Xue Baochai cried, "My brother has misled me!" Aunt Xue understood what Xue Baochai said, "My brother has misled me" - Originally, when she first entered the capital, Xue Baochai was going to be selected as a concubine! Once she was selected as a concubine, with Xue Baochai's beauty, she would most likely be favored by the emperor and become the emperor's favorite concubine! However, Xue Baochai was rejected! Later, it was discovered that the reason for being rejected was that Xue Pan was responsible for a murder - When in Jinling, in order to compete for Xiangling, Xue Pan had Feng Yuan beaten to death and left. Although Xue Pan did not bear "criminal responsibility" after Jia Yucun's "misjudgment of the gourd case", he was also recorded in the "file"! It is very likely that it was because of Xue Pan's old account that Xue Baochai failed the "political review" and missed the opportunity to be a concubine! Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai then "settled for the next best thing" and spread the word of "golden and jade marriage", hoping that Xue Baochai would become the "Second Wife of Bao" in Rongguo Mansion!

But now it seems that Xue Baochai is doomed to miss the chance to become the "Second Wife of Bao", and can only condescend to be Jia Rui's concubine!

Aunt Xue held Xue Baochai's hand and cried--

"Child, I know that if your brother hadn't been deceived by Mr. Zhang, you wouldn't have been forced to be Jia Rui's concubine!"

Xue Baochai didn't say anything. She deliberately deepened her mother's guilt and made her mother feel that she owed her a daughter!

In fact, Xue Baochai was very clear--

This time, instead of saying that it was her brother Xue Pan who got her in trouble, it was her who got Xue Pan in trouble!

In Xue Baochai's opinion, if she didn't have the beauty and beauty, she wouldn't be coveted by Jia Rui!

Jia Rui wouldn't know how to play the game and let Xue Pan take the bait!

…

It's already the second day, and Jia Rui has already spoken——

If within three days, if the Xue family could not put Xue Baochai and a thousand taels of silver on his bed, he would "throw out the vote" and let Xue Pan do the ghost!

Because for the crime Xue Pan committed, killing him ten times was enough!

Although Xue Baochai could bathe and change clothes at any time, Aunt Xue was still anxious——

Not long ago, Jia Rui had just extorted five thousand taels of silver. Now in a hurry, where can he get one thousand taels of silver?

After rummaging through the boxes and cabinets, I only found more than two hundred taels of silver!

So, Aunt Xue anxiously took a sedan chair and came to Rongguo Mansion, hoping to borrow 800 taels of silver from Mrs. Wang, the sister of the same mother, to meet her urgent need!

Before Aunt Xue could speak, Mrs. Wang grabbed Aunt Xue and said -

"Bao Yatou is a good child! Whether it is temperament, appearance, or behavior, I have taken a liking to her and want her to marry Baoyu! Even if she can't pass the test of being an old lady, I will at least let her marry Brother Huan! "

Jia Huan was not born to Mrs. Wang. Like Jia Tanchun, she was born to Aunt Zhao.

However, as Jia Huan's aunt, Mrs. Wang is nominally Jia Huan's mother.

If Xue Baochai marries Jia Huan, she will also be Mrs. Wang's "daughter-in-law"!

After Mrs. Wang finished speaking, she shed tears——

"I didn't expect that in the end, Bao Yatou would be destined to be a concubine! There was nothing I could do about it! Jia Rui is now powerful and the head of the Jia family. I just told him not to let Bao Yatou become a concubine. Concubine, he doesn’t listen either!”

Aunt Xue endured the pain in her heart and said——

"As the saying goes: 'It's better to be a rich man's concubine than a poor man's wife'! Jia Rui is in the limelight right now, so it's not a bad thing for Bao Yatou to be his concubine!"

Aunt Xue's words were like a handful of tofu dregs stuffed into Mrs. Wang's mouth, making Mrs. Wang feel choked up!

Mrs. Wang glanced at Aunt Xue and thought to herself——

"Does she mean to say that being a wife for Baoyu or Huan'er is not as good as being a concubine for Jia Rui? Is this her angry words, or is it her true intention?"

Aunt Xue sighed and said——

"Jia Rui not only asked Bao Yatou to be his concubine, but also asked for a thousand taels of silver! The Xue family had just been extorted from five thousand taels by him, how could he get a thousand taels of silver? After spending most of the day, he also collected I’ve got two hundred taels, but I’m still short of eight hundred taels! So, please lend me eight hundred taels of silver to save your nephew’s life!”

Mrs. Wang couldn’t help being surprised!

You know, Mrs. Wang has eight hundred taels of silver readily available, which is Jia Rui's "hush money."

However, if it is lent to the Xue family, given the current financial situation of the Xue family, will the money be repaid in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse?
