[La la la, I went to Linxian County to take the exam subject 2 and passed it smoothly~]

Hearing Xue Pan's words, Aunt Xue was also trembling with anger. She held her heart and said angrily: "No matter how ignorant he is, he should not say such words! Where does this put your sister?

!”

"Who says it isn't?"

Xue Pan was even more furious, rolling up his arms and sleeves and saying: "It's hard to find a character and appearance like my sister even with a lantern, but he still dares to eat from the bowl and look at the pot - I think it's obvious that he owes

Clean it up and let me punch him a few times to teach him to behave!"

With that said, he turned around to leave.

"you come back!"

Aunt Xue rushed over and grabbed his sleeve, saying anxiously: "I haven't asked you clearly about this yet, so why are you knocking on the door? Wait until tomorrow morning, I will ask your aunt in person!"

Xue Pan curled his lips and said, "Does Zhao'er still dare to lie to me?"

"this……"

Aunt Xue couldn't figure out Zhao'er's purpose for making up such a lie. After thinking about it, she asked: "What about Zhao'er? You go and call him, and I'll ask him again."

"They should still be in the restaurant, right?"

Xue Pan touched his head and said hesitantly: "My last two kicks were so strong that the boy was lying on the ground and couldn't even cry out in pain."

"You kid!"

Aunt Xue slapped him on the back angrily and said angrily: "Have you forgotten the previous lesson? If something happens again, it may not be able to be covered up!"

"Aren't I angry?"

Xue Pan replied angrily, and then without waiting for Aunt Xue to speak, she added: "Wait, mother, I will go and bring that slave dog back!"

Then he left without looking back.

"You must never do anything again!"

Aunt Xue chased her out of the house to explain something, but when she saw that Xue Pan turned a deaf ear, she had to call two more maids and ordered them to catch up and supervise Xue Pan's every move.

When she returned to the house and saw Xue Baochai still sitting there dignifiedly doing embroidery, she realized that the mother and son had been busy patronizing her just now and had actually thrown the real owner aside.

She hurriedly came closer, observed her daughter's expression, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, I can't tell whether this is true or not."

"It's probably true."

Xue Baochai smiled indifferently, took advantage of the situation and changed the embroidery needle, licked the silk thread with the red lilac tongue, and while trying to thread the needle, he said: "Brother Bao can say those words."

"this……"

Seeing her daughter's attitude, Aunt Xue didn't know what to say.

After a long while, he finally managed to say: "That's nothing. He, he said it himself and it doesn't count! When I see your aunt tomorrow, I'll..."

"Mom, why do you have to force yourself?"

Xue Baochai continued to thread the needle, while shaking his head slightly and saying: "Since the old lady has spoken, what can I do if my aunt is willing to turn to us?"

As she spoke, she breathed a long sigh of relief, put the needle and thread that could not be threaded back into the dustpan as if nothing had happened, and smiled relievedly at Aunt Xue: "Sister Lin was born in a lonely life, and she was childhood sweethearts with brother Bao since she was a child. Because of this, I

The Holy Father's marriage ruined her marriage, and she often felt guilty and regretful secretly. Now..."

She paused, bit her lip hard, and then continued: "Now if we can make up for it, it might not be a bad thing."

"cocoa……"

Seeing that her daughter was so generous, Aunt Xue didn't know what to say. She felt distressed and aggrieved and walked back and forth for a few steps. She suddenly said firmly: "Even if I feel guilty, I can think of other ways to compensate Lin Yatou."

——Don’t worry, I will definitely be able to think of a way!”

Hearing this, Xue Baochai couldn't help but look at her mother in surprise. In her memory, her mother had always been innocent and unassertive, but now she looked extremely determined, as if she was really sure of solving this matter.

Yes~

She must want to ask ‘that person’ for advice!

After Baochai suddenly realized, she didn't want any 'outsiders' to be involved in this matter, so she reminded her tactfully: "Although I am happy to see this matter come to an end, my mother really should go see her aunt and let her restrain the family's subordinates."

Man - after all, the marriage between the two families is a royal gift. If the talk of being equal is spread, I'm afraid..."

"What if it gets spread out?!"

At this time, Xue Pan's loud voice suddenly came from outside the door, and then he was seen walking in quickly, panting, and it looked like he had obviously run all the way back.

Aunt Xue's heart skipped a beat when she saw that he was alone. She quickly pulled Xue Pan and asked, "What about Zhao'er? Could it be, could it be..."

"Mom thinks too much!"

Xue Pan snorted unhappily: "After my son left, the owner of the restaurant sent someone to take him back to Rongguo Mansion because he was afraid that the dog slave might have an accident in his store!"

Aunt Xue breathed a sigh of relief, and then she heard Xue Pan shouting angrily: "If you ask me, this matter should be publicized. It's best for the emperor to listen to it - this imperial edict cannot be better than mother's.

Isn’t the waste paper used yet?!”

"Brother, don't mess around!"

At this time, Xue Baochai finally stood up with support on the table and said with a serious face: "The Wang family's affairs are not over yet. If there is another rebellion in the Rongguo Mansion, there is no guarantee that it will not be another catastrophe! Could it be that you are

I want to see my aunt’s family be raped and beheaded, so why am I not willing to be a weakling?"

"This this……"

Seeing that his sister spoke so harshly, Xue Pan's momentum suddenly weakened a lot, but he was unwilling to give up, so he complained dullly: "Then, according to my sister, can't we just let it go? Now you haven't come through the door yet.

, they dare to think about being on equal terms, and wait until later..."

"What about later?"

Xue Baochai interrupted him and said coldly: "The marriage between the two families is a gift from the emperor. No matter what happens, Sister Lin will never get ahead of me!"

As he said that, he took a deep breath, looked back at Aunt Xue and said, "Mom, please keep an eye on my brother these days and don't let him go out and do mischief - since this is the path I chose, I will keep walking.

"

As he spoke, he smiled slightly and said, "It's getting late, so it's time for mom to take a rest early. My daughter will leave first."

Watching her go out, Aunt Xue subconsciously chased her a few steps, then slowly stepped back, and finally sat down on the Arhat bed slumped - even if she wanted to ask Jiao Shun for help, her daughter would have to be willing to fight.

Xue Pan gritted his teeth and slapped him hard, raised his hand and slapped his forehead five or six times until his forehead turned red. Then he said: "Okay, okay, I don't care, I

No matter what, it’s done, right?!”

With that said, he turned around and walked away.

When he passed by the door, he kicked it hard twice.

Not to mention how depressed Aunt Xue and Xue Pan were.

But when Xue Baochai returned to the small courtyard where he lived, Wen Xing and Xi Guan rushed to greet him and reported: "Girl, the hot water has been boiled. You see, now..."

"There's no rush."

Baochai replied dully, then waved his hand and said: "You go inside and wait, I still have an account to settle."

With that said, he entered the study room in the west wing alone.

After entering, she locked the door. She put her hands on the door bolt and was silent for a long time. Then she slowly walked to the desk and tremblingly turned out the husband's manual that had been revised three times.

First I opened it and read it line by line, then suddenly I burst into tears, tore and balled the manual, and finally threw it into the wastebasket!

After throwing it away, she slumped on the chair as if she had collapsed, and then slowly leaned on the eucalyptus head, burying the eucalyptus head deeply between her arms. Her shoulders shrugged slightly, but she didn't make the slightest movement.

When Baochai heard Jia Mu and Jia Baoyu say such words and do such things, how could Baochai not feel angry or hate them?

But she has always been the most sober person in the Xue family. She clearly knows that when the Wang family has completely collapsed and the Shi family's influence is almost entirely overseas, Rongguo Mansion is the Xue family's largest and only support!

Although Rongguo Mansion is not as prosperous as before, and has even been implicated by Wang Ziteng - the virtuous concubines in the palace are still there, and they are even allowed to participate in political affairs. It is not an exaggeration to say that the foundation has not been damaged.

At this juncture, if the Rongguo Mansion gets into trouble because of Lin Daiyu's matter, once the news leaks out, even if the Rongguo Mansion survives the disaster in the end, it will most likely turn against the Xue family.

Then how can the Xue family, which has lost all its patrons in the court, continue to maintain its family business?

That's why Xue Baochai resolutely stopped her brother, preferring to be wronged herself rather than making things worse.

After a long, long time.

Xue Baochai finally raised his head, first wiped the tears from his face with a handkerchief, then stood up and walked to the wastebasket, picked up the shredded and crumpled husband's manual, and put it back together on the desk.

Then, she prepared pen and paper with ease, and with red and swollen eyes but firm eyes, she began to write the fourth edition of the Husband Manual.

Many of the words she just said to her mother and brother were against her will, but one sentence came from the bottom of her heart: Since she has chosen this path, she will definitely go to the end!

Not to mention whether Lin Daiyu would agree to be Baoyu's equal wife because of her pride. Even if she did agree, what would happen? If you win her once, you can win a second time!

…………

"Ah sneeze~"

Before dawn the next day, Xueyan heard the sound of sneezing coming from the bed. She hurriedly got up, trotted over and asked, "Girl, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Daiyu has suffered from serious and minor illnesses since she was a child. Although she has gotten better in the past year or two, Xueyan's experience gained over the years is not in vain.

"Hmm~"
