Red Mansion: After being expelled from the family, I was granted the title of Marquis of Mobei

Chapter 116: The Compromising Xue Baochai, the Wonders of Caishikou
In fact, from the perspective of family development, Xue Baochai knew very well that if the Marquis of Guanjun could take a fancy to her, the Xue family would instantly gain a golden thigh.

Not only will Xue Pan's problem be solved, but the Xue family will also achieve substantial development.

After all, compared to the declining Rongguo Mansion, joining the Guanjun Marquis Mansion is obviously a better choice.

But Xue Baochai is a smart person. She naturally knows the importance of being well-matched, and she also understands the meaning of "it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of an ox."

If Xue Baochai finds someone with a family background comparable to her own, she will naturally be the first wife.

But if she really entered the Marquis of Guanjun's mansion, she would only be a concubine.

This made Xue Baochai feel a little difficult to accept, but she couldn't tell her mother about it.

Because she knew very well that even if she told her mother, after weighing the pros and cons, her mother would definitely persuade her to accept Wang Xifeng's method.

Of course, Mrs. Xue Wang loves Xue Baochai, but it depends on who she is compared with. If compared with Xue Pan, Xue Baochai can naturally be sacrificed.

It is precisely because she sees too clearly that Xue Baochai feels despair in her heart.

After considering it for a few days, Xue Baochai had basically made up her mind.

But before that, she still wanted to see her mother's attitude.

After Xue Baochai forced herself to sit up, she asked the maid to call her mother over.

After Xue Wang came into the room, she sat down beside the bed and asked with concern.

"Baochai, what's wrong? What's going on?"

After calming down, Xue Baochai told her mother, Xue Wangshi, about her meeting and conversation with Wang Xifeng.

"Mother, this is the situation. My cousin said this is the only solution she could think of."

After hearing this, Mrs. Xue Wang hesitated for a moment, but quickly made up her mind.

She looked at Xue Baochai and said with an embarrassed look.

"Baochai, you and your elder brother are both flesh and blood of our mother."

"Mother knows that your cousin's method really wronged you."

"If you were to become a concubine in the Marquis's mansion, you would have no choice but to be humble and subservient to the two Marquis' wives and the other concubines of the Champion Marquis."

"Mother is absolutely reluctant to let you go."

Xue Baochai was moved when she heard this. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Xue Wangshi continue.

"But you know the situation in our family."

"Your father died young, leaving us orphans and widows. Although you are smart and capable, you are a girl after all, and you can't support the family."

"No matter how much of a scoundrel your eldest brother is, as long as he's around, our eldest family's lineage will never be cut off."

"If anything happens to him, my mother and I will be in a difficult situation."

"You know your aunt's side well. She's totally taking advantage of us."

"Our only hope now is you."

"For the sake of our family, Baochai, I have no choice but to put you in this difficult position."

After hearing what Mrs. Xue Wang said, Xue Baochai felt a little disappointed. Although she had expected this, she did not expect that her mother was too lazy to even pretend and agreed directly.

People are like this. Although things have to be done in the end, it is one thing for me to be willing to do it, and it is another thing for you to want me to do it.

Xue Baochai inevitably felt a little disappointed, but since things had come to this point, she did not show it.

She knew very well that she had no way to change this matter. Except for agreeing to Wang Xifeng and exchanging herself for her elder brother, there was no solution to this matter.

Even if he struggled and resisted now, his mother would definitely find ways to force him to submit after she had grasped the life-saving straw of rescuing his elder brother.

At this moment, Xue Baochai felt emotional and couldn't help but think of her father who had passed away many years ago.

When Xue Baochai's father was alive, he didn't bother to pay attention to his stupid and dissolute son Xue Pan, but was very fond of the smart and clever Xue Baochai. Whether it was reading and calligraphy or dealing with people, Xue Baochai's father taught by words and deeds and cultivated Xue Baochai carefully.

Thinking of her father, Xue Baochai sighed in her heart.

Dad, today I have preserved the Xue family's incense with my own life event, which can be regarded as living up to your expectations of me.

From now on, my daughter will live her own life.

After making up her mind, Xue Baochai nodded and said.

"Don't worry, mother. I understand. I will go see my cousin again and rescue my brother."

In the evening, in the Guanjun Marquis's mansion, Wang Xifeng came to Jia Jue's study.

When Wang Xifeng came closer, she bowed with a smile.

"Husband, congratulations."

Jia Jue said with a calm smile.

"Feng'er, where does your happiness come from?"

Wang Xifeng said with a chuckle.

"Just now, the Xue family sent a message saying that my cousin wants to meet her husband."

Hearing this, Jia Jue was not surprised. He nodded slightly and said.

"Let her come, it's worth congratulating her."

Wang Xifeng gave Jia Jue a charming look, and then told him what she had discussed with Xue Baochai.

After hearing this, Jia Jue was stunned for a moment.

Wow, Wang Xifeng really does great things quietly.

Jia Jue pulled Wang Xifeng to his side and patted her plump and round breasts, which made Wang Xifeng grumble.

"Oh, my husband, please be gentle, it hurts. What did I do wrong? Why are you hitting me?"

Jia Jue clapped his hands again and said.

"When did I say I wanted Xue Baochai to be my concubine before I let Xue Pan go?"

"You're ruining my reputation! If this gets out, what will others say about me?"

Wang Xifeng covered her lips lightly and said with a smile.

"My husband, you are joking. You have no reputation in the capital."

"Honestly, this cousin of mine is truly a beauty, talented and beautiful."

"Don't you think my husband really doesn't want to see her?"

After hearing this, Jia Jue couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Well, his reputation in the capital was indeed not very good, but Jia Jue did not dwell on it. Instead, he looked at Wang Xifeng meaningfully and said.

"Okay, it seems I've been a little too pampering with you lately. You've been so disrespectful to me."

"Just wait, if your cousin isn't as good as you say, I'll show you how I'll deal with you."

Wang Xifeng had been with Jia Jue for quite some time, so she naturally knew that Jia Jue was not angry, but was just going with the flow. She then smiled and said.

"If that's the case, I'll leave it to my husband to do whatever he wants."

Seeing this, Jia Jue grabbed Wang Xifeng's hand and then hugged her in his arms.

"You seem quite confident. Well, I want to see the true face of this girl from the Xue family and see if she is as beautiful as you said."

Wang Xifeng said this very confidently.

"Don't worry, my husband. If we talk about looks, I'm still inferior to my cousin." "My husband, don't forget the old one when you have a new one. If that happens, I'll just have to stay alone in the empty room."

Jia Jue said after giving Wang Xifeng a light kiss.

"Looking at you like this, you want to be beaten with sticks again, right?"

Wang Xifeng smiled, her face full of charm, and she looked like she was capable of defeating me.

Jia Jue did not tolerate Wang Xifeng either, and he immediately punished her in the study. Soon, Wang Xifeng was beaten so hard that she cried out.

Just as Jia Jue and Wang Xifeng were going to Wushan together, chaos broke out in Rongguo Mansion late at night.

During this period, because Prince Zhongshun came to look for Qi Guan, in order to avoid complications, Mrs. Wang asked Jia Baoyu to stay in the mansion and not go out.

However, just this afternoon, Jia Baoyu sneaked out and has not returned until now, which is almost midnight.

The servants of Rongguo Mansion looked for all the friends that Jia Baoyu often visited and the places he liked to go, but there was still no sign of Jia Baoyu.

Mrs. Wang looked at the maid Xiren beside her anxiously and said.

"Think about it carefully, where does Baoyu like to go normally?"

Xiren said helplessly.

"Madam, this is all I know."

"Master Bao never takes his servants with him when he goes out."

Mrs. Wang said in annoyance after hearing this.

"What are you all doing? Didn't I tell you that Baoyu is not allowed to go out during this period? Why don't you stop him?"

Upon hearing this, the maids in the room felt very aggrieved. They were all maids, so how could they possibly stop Jia Baoyu?

But Mrs. Wang was very angry, so no one dared to say anything and could only swallow their anger.

After scolding the maids and servants, Mrs. Wang was too lazy to waste time and immediately ordered the housekeeper Zhou Rui to send someone to look for Jia Baoyu again.

The Rongguo Mansion was in chaos for most of the night, but there was no sign of Jia Baoyu. Mrs. Wang could not sleep all night and was extremely worried.

The next morning, in Rongxi Hall, Mrs. Wang had been up all night and could not bear it any longer, so she leaned back in her chair and dozed off.

At this moment, Zhou Ruijia hurried into the main hall, came to Mrs. Wang and gently pulled her arm.

"Madam, wake up, wake up."

Mrs. Wang opened her eyes drowsily and spoke vaguely.

"What's wrong, I, why did I fall asleep?"

Mrs. Zhou Rui didn't care about anything else and quickly looked at Mrs. Wang and said.

"Madam, there's news about Master Bao. Someone said he was seen at Caishikou."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang lost all sleepiness and hurriedly gave instructions.

"Quick, prepare the car, go to Caishikou."

"The slaves obey."

Afterwards, Mrs. Wang and Old Lady Jia informed each other, and the two of them hurried to Caishikou in a carriage.

When they rushed to the vegetable market, they saw an extremely shocking scene.

I saw Jia Baoyu and a few servants fighting against the landlord. Jia Baoyu was on the defensive side, and his lower body was incomplete and exposed to everyone.

Several people seemed to have lost their minds, their faces were red, their eyes were dull, and they were only acting on instinct.

It was morning at this time, and Caishikou was the main east-west traffic artery in the south city. The whole street was almost a market. In addition to the vegetable market, there were also mule and horse markets, pig markets, garlic markets, cable pole markets, brush markets, onion markets, rope markets, etc.

In the morning, the market was open and people were coming and going. The merchants and common people who came and went regarded the little games played by Jia Baoyu and his friends as a foreign spectacle.

The scene was packed with people, at least several thousand people.

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Jia felt their hearts were broken at this moment.

Old Lady Jia's veins popped out and she angrily cursed the servant beside her.

"You are all dead, why don't you take the young master away quickly."

Mrs. Wang and Old Lady Jia were both experts in playing dirty tricks. Seeing the state of Jia Baoyu and the servant, it went without saying that they must have been given aphrodisiacs and hallucinogenic drugs, which was why they were so selfless in public.

After this incident, the reputation of Rongguo Mansion in the capital was completely destroyed.

Neither Mrs. Jia nor Mrs. Wang dared to imagine how this matter would spread in the capital of gods.

Master Bao, the legitimate son of the Rongguo Mansion, was seen having sex at Caishikou in front of thousands of people. Moreover, the news that Jia Baoyu was a disabled person would spread and could no longer be concealed.

When she thought of this, Mrs. Jia's blood pressure rose like she was on a highway, and she felt a little dizzy.

Mrs. Wang and the maids hurriedly supported Old Lady Jia and helped her into the carriage.

After the servants of Rongguo Mansion sent Jia Baoyu and his party onto the carriage, everyone in Rongguo Mansion hurriedly left.

Standing here for one more second would make the people in Rongguo Mansion feel socially dead.

On the way back to Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Jia said angrily.

"This is too much, too much! Who did this? Let me find out. I want him dead. How dare he humiliate the Rongguo Mansion like this?"

Mrs. Wang, who was standing by, was struggling over whether she should speak or not.

Old Mrs. Jia was an experienced woman and she quickly noticed that something was wrong with Mrs. Wang and asked immediately.

"What's wrong with you? Do you know something?"

Mrs. Wang said after hesitating for a moment.

"Mother, we in the Rongguo Mansion are kind to others and never easily cause trouble. There are only three people who have the motive to do this."

"The first is Lin Ruhai, the second is Marquis Guanjun, and the third is Prince Zhongshun."

Old Mrs. Jia said in confusion.

"Wait, Lin Ruhai and Marquis Guanjun are fine, but what about Prince Zhongshun?"

"Baoyu just has some contact with a little actor in the palace."

"Just for this matter, Prince Zhongshun would resort to such cruel means."

"Besides, didn't the second brother teach Baoyu a lesson? Why is the palace so endless?"

Mrs. Wang lowered her head and told the story of Jia Baoyu and Qi Guan in a weak voice.

"Mother, this is what happened. I think we have dealt with everything from beginning to end. The palace has not seen Qi Guan alive or dead. Even if they have some suspicions, they should not make such a big fuss over an actor."

"But now it seems that Prince Zhongshun is also a strong suspect."

After hearing this, Mrs. Jia was so angry that she slapped Mrs. Wang in the face and then pointed at her and cursed.

"Asshole, you actually dared to hide such a big thing from me and act on your own. You are really rebelling against the heavens."

"Who is Prince Zhongshun? He is second only to the emperor and above everyone else. You are dreaming if you want him to suffer in silence."

"Now that Baoyu has encountered such a thing, our Rongguo Mansion has completely lost face."

"The Rongguo Mansion will definitely become the laughing stock of the entire Divine Capital in the future. This is what you did."
