The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

In order to win her daughter's favor in the future, Xue's mother ordered people to invite masters of music and painting to help Xue Baochai make up for the skills of music, chess, calligraphy and painting that she had missed out on in her early years.

Now, seeing Xue Baochai burning incense and tuning the zither so contentedly, with the aura of a young lady from a scholarly family, Xue's mother was also very pleased.

I heard Xue's mother's footsteps,

Xue Baochai paused slightly, and the melodious piano music came to an abrupt end.

She looked up at Xue's mother and a smile appeared on her pretty face.

"Mom, why are you here?"

Xue's mother walked into the room with a smile.

"Nothing, just came to see you."

As he spoke, his eyes swept over the two maids serving behind Xue Baochai.

Seeing this, the two maids hurriedly bowed to Xue's mother and Xue Baochai and retreated respectfully.

When only the mother and daughter were left in the room,

Xue Baochai looked at her mother with concern and asked,

"Mom, what happened?"

Mother Xue sighed softly, looked at Xue Baochai and said,

"Oh, I knew I couldn't hide it from your eyes."

"Just now, your uncle Wang Ziteng sent an invitation to your brother to come to his house."

"Ah? Brother was asked to leave?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Baochai stood up nervously and looked at her mother anxiously.

"Do you know why?"

Although Xue's mother was also worried about Xue Pan, she still smiled and shook her head.

"We don't know yet, but you don't need to worry."

"Brother Chong has already sent someone to investigate."

"However, just in case, he also informed us to be prepared to evacuate Jinling to Yangzhou at any time."

Xue Baochai frowned slightly when she heard this, and then asked,

"What should I do if that happens, brother?"

Mother Xue smiled and shook her head when she heard this.

"Don't worry, your brother is his nephew after all. Even if something happens, it won't be a problem for him to save his life."

As he spoke, he walked straight to the piano table where Xue Baochai had played before, reached out and plucked the strings, making a clear and pleasant sound.

Then he turned around and looked at Xue Baochai solemnly.

"Baochai, I have already sent people to investigate. Now, from Haizhou to Suzhou and Hangzhou, all are under the command of Qingfeng Village."

"Right now, the imperial court and Yangzhou are in a standoff in Xuzhou Prefecture. The future of my Xue family depends on the outcome of the battle in Xuzhou Prefecture!"

"Now your brother has already joined Qingfeng Village. This cannot be changed."

Xue Baochai knew what her mother wanted to say, so she nodded helplessly.

"Mom, don't worry, your daughter understands everything!"

Xue's mother nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay! Just understand!"

"Then you pack up first. If things really don't work out, we'll leave Jinling and go to Yangzhou!"

Xue Baochai pursed her red lips before nodding and saying,

"Okay! I'll get ready right away."

After Xue's mother left, Xue Baochai slowly walked back to the piano table and sat down, looking at the strings with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

To be honest, when her brother and mother mentioned to her that they wanted her to marry the bandit leader of Qingfeng Village, she was still a little resistant in her heart.

Although she comes from a merchant family, she has her own character. How could she give herself to a bandit?

But for the sake of the Xue family and for his brother to be able to make a career, he nodded and agreed.

But after that, she no longer cared about the affairs of the Xue family. After marrying the mountain king, she stayed in the deep mountains and forests, and lived a carefree life from then on.

However, with the rapid rise of Qingfeng Village and its successive defeats of the imperial army, Xue Baochai's dormant mind began to become active.

If only her husband, whom she had never met, could overcome the difficulties and restore the glory of the Great Qian Emperor.

Then both he and the Xue family will soar to success.

Moreover, Qingfeng Village has many talented people under its command. Just the Linghu Chong she knows is capable of turning the Xue family's Feng brand, which had been in the red for more than ten years, into a big profit. He will definitely be able to accomplish something big!

Thinking of this, Xue Baochai was filled with endless curiosity and imagination about the mysterious leader of the stronghold.

She then called in the maid and started helping her pack her belongings.

In one hour,

Xue Baochai was anxiously waiting for news from outside.

Suddenly, a maidservant from Xue's mother arrived.
