The mental state is beautiful

Yuchuan opened his eyes and found himself in the Qing Dynasty again. Looking at the surroundings, it seemed to be a young lady's boudoir.

After receiving the memories and wishes of the person who prayed, Yuchuan discovered that the original owner was actually Xia Jingui, the wife of Xue Pan in Dream of Red Mansions.

Xia Jingui was the only daughter of the imperial merchant "Osmanthus Xia Family" and was born into a family of the Ministry of Revenue.

Xia Jingui was quite pretty and could read and write quite a few words. She was named Jingui because her family had "dozens of hectares of land planted with osmanthus."

Her family was also known as the "Osmanthus Xia Family" and was very wealthy. Not to mention the other fields, just Chang'an's "Osmanthus Bureau inside and outside the city all belonged to her family, and even all the bonsai exhibits in the palace were provided by her family."

Therefore, the Xia family is the royal merchant registered with the Ministry of Revenue and is one of the largest families in the Ministry of Revenue.

Xia Jingui lost her father when she was young. Her mother doted on her very much and she could be said to have grown up in a spoiled state.

When she grew up, Xia Jingui's marriage was put on the agenda.

Because she is the only daughter in the family, Xia's mother naturally hopes that her future son-in-law can be of equal status, take good care of Xia Jingui, and support the Xia family.

After all, the Xia family is not only a wealthy family with a fortune of millions, but also has no male heir, so the heir is naturally the grandson.

In the future, all of the Xia family's wealth will be taken to her son-in-law's home by their daughter Xia Jingui as a dowry and passed on to their grandchildren.

It can be said that whoever marries Xia Jingui is equivalent to getting the Xia family's millions of wealth and prominent family business for free.

With such a family background, Xia Jingui must marry into a family of higher status.

The Xia family is already one of the richest and most powerful families in the Ministry of Households. In addition, Xia Jingui's personal conditions are indeed outstanding, so the one who can marry Xia Jingui must be an extremely powerful and prominent aristocratic family.

So when Xue Pan, the only son of the imperial merchant Xue family, came to propose marriage, Xia's mother and Xia Jingui were both very satisfied.

First of all, the Xia family and the Xue family are both wealthy families with assets of millions, but the Xue family is not only one of the top imperial merchants, but also a family of scholars and famous officials.

The Xue family's ancestors were once Ziwei Sheren, and two generations of them were high-ranking officials. The remaining prestige of the ancestors can still protect their descendants today.

In addition, Xue's mother had close relations with the Wang family and the Jia family of Rongguo Mansion, so the Xue family's status was higher than that of the Xia family.

Scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans. Merchants are wealthy but of low status, but the Xue family is different. This is one of the reasons why Xia's mother is optimistic about Xue Pan.

Secondly, the Xia family and the Xue family are old relatives. Xia Jingui’s mother is Xue Pan’s aunt, so Xia Jingui and Xue Pan are cousins.

Xue Pan and Xia Jingui had hung out together when they were young, and since they were cousins, there was no suspicion on their part.

Xia's mother had no son and usually stayed at home, so she had no chance to meet other men. So when she saw Xue Pan, she was extremely enthusiastic. After all, he was her brother's child.

When Xue Pan came to visit, he seemed honest and reliable, spoke in an elegant manner, and was even able to compose a few poems.

Besides, the Xue family only has one male, Xue Pan. Logically, Xia Jingui would be the mistress of the household if she married him. With the help of the Xue family, she might be able to save the Xia family's business and property.

Besides, the Xue family is also an imperial merchant family with a large fortune. They will not be as short-sighted as other families and would not covet Xia Jingui's dowry and the Xia family's property.

Unfortunately, both Xia's mother and Xia Jingui were wrong.

Not long after Xia Jingui married into the Xue family, Xue Pan's true colors were revealed.

Xia Jingui discovered that Xue Pan was actually very vulgar, and the poems he wrote when he came to her house to propose marriage were also written by someone else. In fact, he had no talent at all.

Moreover, Xue Pan already had a beautiful concubine, Xiangling, which was not a big deal. However, this concubine actually recited poems with the young ladies in the Rongguo Mansion.

As the mistress of the Xue family, Xia Jingui is both talented and beautiful. Is she not as good as a concubine?

Xue Baochai brought Xiangling, a concubine, into the Grand View Garden. Are these the rules and regulations?

Moreover, Xia Jingui is now the legitimate mistress of the Xue family and should be in power.

However, Aunt Xue, the widowed mother, and Xue Baochai, the unmarried sister-in-law, actually held on to the power of the Xue family firmly and were reluctant to let go!

Xia Jingui had a hunch that there must be something fishy going on, so she investigated carefully and discovered that the Xue family was now just an empty shell.

Xue Pan, as the only male in the Xue family, had no special abilities. The shop owners of the Xue family's shops were even more arrogant and their income was not enough to cover their expenses.

Moreover, in order to allow her younger sister-in-law Xue Baochai to marry into the Rongguo Mansion, Aunt Xue had already emptied the family fortune and gave it to her elder sister, Lady Wang, saying that it was to be invested in building the Grand View Garden and that it would all be Baochai's dowry.

It can be seen that the relationship between the Xue family and the Jia family and the Wang family is not as solid as Xia Jingui originally thought.

After using her dowry, can you still not marry her?

Why not?

Mrs. Wang was reluctant to give a definite answer and kept evading the question. As a result, the Xue family had long since lost their money turnover business.

Xue Pan has no ability to manage the Xue family's business at all.

The Xue family married Xia Jingui, just like the Rongguo Mansion used Jia Baoyu's marriage to hang Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai. The dowries of the two girls were all used to build the Grand View Garden.

The Xue family's plan is to wipe out the Xia family.

What’s even more terrible is that Xue Pan is not only an uneducated playboy, but also has a murder case on his hands.

It turned out that at the beginning, no girl from a good family was willing to marry a man like Xue Pan, and even his younger sister Baochai was not interested in anyone.

After losing her husband, Xia's mother rarely left the house. She had no idea about the Xue family's situation, nor did she have the opportunity to meet and get to know more men. She had no idea about Xue Pan's murder case.

She thought that Xue Pan was her nephew, and after all, he was her family. Entrusting her daughter to him would ensure that she would have someone to rely on for life, and he would also provide for her in her old age.

Xia Jingui saw through the true face of the Xue family and was worried that she would be killed silently by the Xue family. She decided to make a big deal out of it to save her life at least.

So Xia Jingui shouted and exposed the shortcomings of the Xue family every day. The Xue family lived only across a wall from the Jia family, and the Xue family could not afford to lose face, so they had to pretend that everything was as it was.

Xia Jingui knew that Xiangling was more familiar with Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai, so she deliberately made things difficult for her.

Moreover, Xia Jingui was taught since childhood that servants must avoid the names of their masters. Xia Jingui thought Xiangling's name was offensive to her, so she forced her to change her name to Qiu Ling.

When she learned that Xiangling's name was originally given by Xue Baochai, she hated this sister-in-law even more for not only controlling her natal family but also shamelessly managing the Grand View Garden of the Jia family before she even married into the Jia family.

When Xia Jingui married into the Xue family, she thought she had become the grandmother in charge of the family. She was no longer as shy and gentle as when she was a daughter, so she had to show off her authority in order to suppress others.

Sure enough, when Xia Jingui saw that even though she was so powerful, the mother and daughter of the Xue family still refused to give up power, she became even more convinced that in this mansion, either the east wind prevailed over the west wind, or the west wind prevailed over the east wind.

Xue Pan has a tough temperament, arrogant manners, and is a man without his own opinion. Xia Jingui wants to take advantage of the good relationship between the newlyweds to control him in one fell swoop so that she will not be at a disadvantage in the future.

How could she allow others to sleep soundly beside her bed? In order to get rid of Xiangling, Xue Pan's concubine who was both talented and beautiful, Xia Jingui simply let Xue Pan marry Baochan, her maid who came with the dowry.

Xia Jingui instigated Xue Pan to punish Xiangling, but Xue Pan turned out to be stupid and did not treat Xiangling as a human being.

Aunt Xue actually came in person to persuade her. Xia Jingui could not tolerate Xue's mother taking so much trouble for a bought concubine.

She would shout and quarrel through the window, causing no peace for the Xue family.

The more Xia Jingui learned about the Xue family's situation, the more she realized that she had married the wrong person.

Xia Jingui has been spoiled since she was young, how could she bear any grievance? If she is not happy, then the entire Xue family will not have an easy life!

In the end, Xue Pan was forced to leave his home by her.

The Xue family knew that they had let down the Xia family first, and they even lived next to their relative the Jia family, so they could only tolerate it again and again.

Later, Xia Jingui saw Xue Ke who was coming to Beijing with his sister. Compared with Xue Pan, Xue Ke was more handsome and had real talent. Xia Jingui liked him very much.

However, Xia Jingui had already married Xue Pan, so she could only bury these thoughts in her heart and continue to live in the Xue family.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Xue Pan, such a coward, could not even live a peaceful and law-abiding life.

Xia Jingui still had some hope in her life, at least she could live a normal life without worries about food and clothing.

However, Xue Pan, who was always fond of making trouble, caused another murder case. Even though the Xue family and the Jia family took action and spent a lot of money in various government offices, they only managed to get a case of manslaughter.

Afterwards, the Xue family planned to sell the shop and raise money to atone for their sins.

However, the Ministry of Justice overturned the case. No matter how much money was spent on others, it was of no use. They still sentenced him to death and put him in custody awaiting the trial in the autumn.

Xia Jingui’s life was now completely hopeless. Not to mention taking care of her mother’s family, she had even lost the last support for her own life.

Xue Pan is about to die, and Xia Jingui will be a widow as she has no children. She has a confused mother-in-law above her and a stubborn sister-in-law Xue Baochai below her. She also has a helpless widowed mother behind her with the Xia family's millions of wealth. How can she keep it all together?

It is very likely that the Xia family’s wealth was eventually inherited by Xia Jingui and brought to the Xue family.

But the confused mother Xue, who had lost her son, wanted to rely on her daughter and son-in-law, and then give the Xia family's money to Xue Baochai to bring into the Jia Mansion to seek refuge.

But will the Jia family really protect the Xue family?

Can the Jia family really protect the Xue family?

Xia Jingui didn't believe it.

In desperation, Xia Jingui finally set her sights on Xue Ke, who was the husband Xia Jingui wanted.

If she could marry Xue Ke, Xia Jingui would still have hope for the rest of her life.

Therefore, from then on, whenever Xue Ke was at home, Xia Jingui would put on powder and rouge, draw her eyebrows and hair, and dress up in a strange and fancy way.

From time to time, she passed by Xue Ke's door, either coughing deliberately, or asking who was in the room even though she knew Xue Ke was in the room.

When meeting Xue Ke, Xia Jingui acted coquettishly and tenderly, asking about his health, and was happy and angry at the same time.

Xia Jingui didn't care at all about her inappropriate words and deeds, she was only focused on getting Xue Ke's attention.

Xue Ke is a serious man, how could he look down on someone like Xia Jingui? Besides, he is already engaged to Xing Xiuyan, so he has no other intentions.

As for Xia Jingui, Xue Ke naturally always avoided her. Sometimes when he had to meet her, he did not dare to interact too much with her for fear that she would act like a spoiled child.

Xia Jingui was sad about marrying Xue Pan by mistake, and angry about Xue Ke's rejection, so she took her anger out on Xiangling and wanted to poison her to death.

Unexpectedly, Xia Jingui drank poison and died.

At this time, Xia Jingui didn't even know whether her death was painful or a relief?

It's just a pity for her mother who loved and loved her daughter. She had to send her daughter away at an old age and spend the rest of her life blaming herself for not choosing a suitable husband for her daughter, causing her to marry the wrong man, a murderer.

Xia Jingui was not convinced. Xue Pan had three wives and four concubines and enjoyed the happiness of having many women on his left and right. Why couldn't she, Xia Jingui, like the talented and handsome Xue Ke?

The Xue family is still a relative of the Xia family after all, but they concealed the true situation of their widowed mother Xue Pan. How could Xia Jingui not hate them for harming their relatives like this?

The wish of the petitioner Xia Jingui is as follows:

First, to take revenge on the Xue family and take away all the money that the Xue family had when they were still relatively powerful;

Second, she no longer married, but directly invited a live-in son-in-law and kept a bunch of male concubines;

Third, destroy Xue Ke. No one else can get what she can't get. If the Xue family has wronged her, then the Xue family can't have a useful male heir.

Fourth, the other three families that were in cahoots with the Xue family but whose relationship was not reliable would also be plundered.

My goodness, Yuchuan summed it up, in short it was to take revenge on the Xue family, make money and keep a male lover.

This mission was simply a vacation benefit. Yuchuan was very happy and quickly got into the task-doing state.
