Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 177 Xue Pan apologizes
Thinking of this, Xue Baochai pursed her lips and smiled, and then said: "It's time for my brother to put on a halter. Although this woman is from a lowly background, since she can control her brother, it's okay to marry her back."

Aunt Xue said unhappily: "What kind of family are we? How can we marry such a woman? If our relatives find out, we won't laugh out loud."

Xue Baochai sighed, then shook his mother's hand, "Mom, don't worry about this matter. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, just let him go."

Aunt Xue glanced at Xue Baochai in surprise. You must know that in the past, Xue Baochai was the most disciplined person. This time, Xue Pan actually wanted to marry a prostitute. Xue Baochai should have strongly opposed it, so why did she try to persuade her instead?

As a widow, Aunt Xue was able to barely keep her family property without being wiped out by her clan members, so she was not a fool either.

She took a deep look at Xue Baochai, lowered her head and thought for a moment, and then breathed her last breath, "You are right. The child is older than the mother, and I can't control it anymore. Since he likes it, marry him back, but don't complain in the future. I."

Xue Baochai comforted her mother for a while. When she was about to go home after lunch, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps outside.

Then the door curtain was raised, and Xue Pan walked in drunkenly.

Xue Pan was already a little drunk, and when he saw Xue Baochai was there, he immediately started to get drunk.

"Is your good sister here too? You are happily married to a powerful man, but your brother is marrying a prostitute."

Aunt Xue's expression changed after hearing this. She stood up from the imperial concubine's couch, pointed at Xue Pan and said:

"Isn't this why you begged me to go to the prostitute? Isn't it strange that you are looking for your sister?"

Xue Pan was already a little confused at this time. He shook his hand violently and said loudly: "You think I want to marry her. Wasn't it forced by that boy Jia Rui?"

Xue Baochai felt sad when she heard that her brother dared to be disrespectful to her husband.

"Brother is drunk and confused. You can still blame others for the things you did yourself. If my uncle hadn't taken care of you, you would be in Shuntian Mansion Prison now."

These words made Aunt Xue sense that something was wrong. She glared at Xue Pan fiercely, and then asked the maids to drag the bastard out.

Xue Pan was drunk and was pulled out by the maid, but he was still unwilling to yell and curse.

"You yourself married a beautiful woman, and you asked me to marry a filthy man. How can you feel at ease?"

"Pull this evil obstacle out of me quickly."

Following Aunt Xue's shouting, several maids quickly pulled Xue Pan out. After a while, the yelling and cursing outside subsided.

At this time, Xue Baochai was sitting on the bed, with tears streaming down her face, feeling very angry and aggrieved.

For the sake of her mother's family, she hid how many times she wiped Xue Pan's butt from her uncle. Unexpectedly, her brother not only did not care about her, but actually complained about her.

Aunt Xue cried when she saw her daughter was so wronged, and she couldn't bear it anymore. She quickly took Xue Baochai's hand and took her into her arms.

"Good girl, I know you have been wronged. Just wait until your brother wakes up and see how I punish him."

After listening to her mother's words, Xue Baochai finally felt a little more psychologically comforted.

She wiped her tears and said sheepishly: "My daughter has made her mother worry."

Aunt Xue stretched out her hand and arranged the scattered hair on Xue Baochai's forehead, "My daughter is wronged."

After finishing speaking, he sighed repeatedly.

After a while, Aunt Xue asked: "What is going on?"

Xue Baochai opened his mouth, and then said nonchalantly: "It's no big deal, everything has been solved."

Aunt Xue saw that Xue Baochai didn't want to tell the truth, so she was smart enough not to continue asking.

After all, since the major issue has been resolved, there is no need for him to get involved. It is only right to spend his old age well.

Xue Baochai talked to her mother for a while, then said goodbye and left.

In the evening, Xue Pan finally woke up. He rubbed his painful forehead and looked around, and found that he was already lying on his bed at home.

"Xiang Ling, bring me some tea."

There was a crisp response from outside, and soon a bright woman came in dragging a tea tray.

She carefully came to Xue Pan's side, placed the tray on the small table next to her, and personally took the tea bowl and handed it to Xue Pan's eyes.

Xue Pan took the tea bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

"When did I come back?"

"Uncle, you came back after lunch."

Xue Pan rubbed his forehead and then got up from the bed. Xiang Ling quickly took out clean clothes from the cabinet next to him and put them on for Xue Pan.

"Is everything okay there, mother?"

Xue Pan is a domineering person outside, but to be honest, he loves and cares for his mother and sister very much at home.

Xiangling opened her mouth, but stopped talking.

Xue Pan immediately became angry and said, "You bastard, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Seeing this, Xiangling could only tell the story of how Xue Pan got angry with Xue Baochai when she just came back.Xue Pan was a little upset after hearing this. It was all because of drinking. Unexpectedly, he made a mistake while drunk and became angry with his sister.

Xue Pan hurried out of the house and hurried to his mother's side.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Aunt Xue, eating with several maids serving her.

When Aunt Xue saw Xue Pan come in, her face immediately darkened.

"You drank some cat urine somewhere and got angry at your sister when you came back. Are you really capable?"

Xue Pan laughed along with her, and sat down next to her mother with a playful smile.

"Mother, my son is drunk and talking nonsense. Mother forgives this."

As he spoke, Xue Pan quickly poured a cup of tea and carefully handed it to his mother's hand.

Aunt Xue looked at her son's earnest apology, sighed, and then said: "You are now a grown-up, so you should know the truth. It's not like you don't know how much your sister has worked for our family. Our family is now You can stand up because of your sister and brother-in-law. How can you be rude to your sister? Isn't this ungrateful? "

Xue Pan seemed to know that he was wrong. He lowered his head and said with regret, "I know I was wrong. I will go and apologize to my sister tomorrow."

Aunt Xue was finally satisfied when she saw Xue Pan sincerely admitting her mistake, "Then you have to say more nice things to your sister to calm her down."

"Okay, okay." Xue Pan agreed.

The next day, Xue Pan prepared the gifts early, then asked the servant to carry them out of the alley, then turned around and came to the side door of Dingxihou Mansion.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Jia Rui coming out on a horse, apparently going to the Yamen.

Jia Rui also saw Xue Pan.

"What brought you here today?" Jia Rui greeted with a smile.

Seeing that Jia Rui's face didn't look angry, Xue Pan breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Yesterday, my sister came to the house. I was drunk and didn't say hello, so I came to see her today."

"Baochai is inside, go in quickly!" After Jia Rui finished speaking, he left in a mighty manner under the protection of the servants and soldiers.

The reason why Jia Rui can still be kind to Xue Pan is because Baochai did not tell Jia Rui about her parents' troubles after returning home yesterday.

Otherwise, with Jia Rui's protective character, he would have dismounted and whipped Xue Pan.

Xue Pan entered the Dingxi Hou Mansion, and then led by the maid to Xue Baochai's yard.

When they entered the main room, they saw Xue Baochai sitting there with an expressionless face, and beside her stood two personal maids, Ying'er and Ying Ge.

Xue Pan also knew what was going on, and quickly came to Xue Baochai's eyes with a smile on his face, and then bowed deeply.

"Are Grandma Rui still angry with me? For the sake of my apology, just treat me like a fart."

After hearing these vulgar words and seeing her brother's playful smile, Xue Baochai finally lost her anger. She waved the handkerchief in the air in disgust, as if there was a real fart.

"Good sister, look what I brought you."

As he spoke, Xue Pan asked the maid who was following behind to hand over a wooden box.

Xue Pan carefully took the box and opened it gently, only to see a longevity lock carved from white jade inside.

This piece of beautiful jade is crystal clear, with a hint of golden lines in it. It looks like a unicorn.

Xue Baochai couldn't move his eyes away when he saw it. He reached out and took it and played with it gently.

What Xue Baochai cares about most now, besides Jia Rui, is his precious son.

This thing was obviously a gift for his son, which made Xue Baochai's unhappiness disappear.

Xue Baochai played with it for a while, then glanced sideways at Xue Pan, "Sit down, aren't you tired of standing?"

Xue Pan breathed a long sigh of relief, and then sat on the chair next to him.

"Has the betrothal gift been delivered?" Xue Baochai asked while playing with the longevity lock.

Xue Pan grinned, and then said dullly: "Send it over."

"When are you going to do something? How many relatives will you invite?"

Xue Pan's face was a little gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said: "There will be a good day in a month. After that, I will pamper her properly."

Xue Baochai looked at Xue Pan and knew that this woman would not have a good life if she married Xue Pan for nothing.

However, Xue Baochai was not prepared to ask. In fact, she was also a little disgusted with this promiscuous woman.

"Don't make a big deal out of it. My uncle will have to deal with it for you when the time comes."

"I know." Xue Pan replied dully.
