Quick Transmigration: Start killing from The Legend of Zhen Huan!

Chapter 928: Dream of the Red Chamber, Lin Daiyu (91)

Although the women from the second wife's family looked happy, they weren't really that happy.

In particular, Jia Zheng, an assistant minister in the Ministry of Works, held a fifth-rank position for over twenty years.

It's fair to say that he was just a figurehead in the Ministry of Works.

As his nephew's rank rose higher and higher, he seemed increasingly useless, so how could he possibly be happy?

In this strange atmosphere.

Xue Baochai's coming-of-age ceremony is fast approaching.

Lixiangyuan.

Xue Baochai sat there lost in thought, seemingly with a lot on her mind that she had nowhere to confide in.

As soon as Aunt Xue entered the door, she saw her daughter looking preoccupied.

She couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Baochai, why didn't you go play with Baoyu?"

Aunt Xue sat down next to her. "Did Baoyu go out to see a play again?"

"do not know."

Xue Baochai gently shook her head, "There's no point in going to him. It's better to review the account books a few more times than to waste time with a bunch of maids making a ruckus."

“Baoyu, he…”

Aunt Xue wanted to speak well of him, but she didn't know how to praise him.

A dissolute young master who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun, and who only knows how to play with his maids, is the object of his daughter's and other women's rivalry.

The thought made her feel uneasy.

"Don't talk about him anymore."

Xue Baochai looked at her mother, "What brings you here, Mother?"

"Baochai, have you forgotten?"

Aunt Xue looked at her with affection, "In another half month, it will be your coming-of-age ceremony."

I don't know what you want to do?

I'll talk to your aunt about it later.

We have to make it a big, lively event.

"Coming of age?"

Xue Baochai was stunned, but quickly realized that her birthday was indeed in this month.

She lowered her eyelids and said, "Mother, we are staying in someone else's house. Why hold a coming-of-age ceremony? People will probably laugh at us."

"What joke or not."

Aunt Xue disagreed, saying, "Not holding a coming-of-age ceremony would only make us a laughingstock."

Anyway, now that we've entered this mansion, you'll never be able to leave again.

There's no need to take some things too seriously.

Unless you're willing to give it up.

"I……"

Xue Baochai's expression was somewhat complicated.

Giving up is naturally something I'm unwilling to do.

If you don't give up, Jia Baoyu will have a whole host of flaws.

He had affairs with maids even before he was married, and not just one.

Although he treats himself very well.

Xue Baochai knew very well that Baoyu's heart belonged to his cousin from the Lin family.

The most important point is...

Both Grandmother Jia and her own concubines wanted to choose a daughter from a prominent family as Baoyu's wife.

What about yourself?

What should I do?

She doesn't know it herself.

Having lived in the Rongguo Mansion for more than three years, she had long since grown accustomed to it all.

If we really leave Rongguo Mansion.

Is it really possible for me to find the son of an official?

Unless I become a concubine...

妾！

Something suddenly occurred to me.

Xue Baochai's expression changed drastically, becoming extremely unpleasant.

"Baochai, what's wrong with you?"

Aunt Xue noticed her daughter's fluctuating expressions and couldn't help but worry, "Has something happened?"

"Mother, I'm about to come of age."

Xue Baochai looked at her mother and asked earnestly, "Do you really think Auntie will agree to my marriage with Baoyu?"

"This……"

Aunt Xue met her daughter's gaze and felt a sudden pang of unease. "He should. Everyone knows the bond between you and Baoyu."

They didn't seem to stop them or anything.

"Yes, they didn't stop them."

Xue Baochai's expression was a half-smile, "But they didn't hide it from us; they're looking for a wife for Baoyu."

"This……"

Aunt Xue was dumbfounded.

I finally understand why my daughter had that expression.

She asked somewhat excitedly, "Baochai, you mean them, they want to..."

She trembled and couldn't utter the rest of her words.

"Take her as a concubine!"

Xue Baochai spoke up for her mother, saying, "We never realized this."

I thought it was…

He paused here.

She added, "Perhaps this is how they told us."

If I want to enter Baoyu's inner quarters, I can only be granted the status of a concubine.

"No, no."

Aunt Xue could not accept this fact.

He stood up and started pacing back and forth, saying, "I absolutely will not allow it."

Even marrying Baoyu was a disservice to you.

How could she be a concubine?

I won’t agree to that. I absolutely won’t agree to that.”

"..."

Xue Baochai looked at her mother, who was visibly agitated.

Instead of feeling warm inside, I felt an indescribable sadness.

“Baochai, you have been exceptionally intelligent since you were a child.”

Aunt Xue didn't notice her daughter's expression and continued talking as she walked, "Your father said that if you were a boy, you would be more suitable for the position of head of the family than your eldest brother."

You are very talented, and you can do anything given the opportunity.

We focus our attention on the Rongguo Mansion and on Baoyu.

It was all for the sake of strengthening family ties, so that you could control Baoyu and become the true mistress of the Rongguo Mansion.

Instead of becoming their stepping stones.

Baochai, they want you to be their concubine, we absolutely cannot agree to that.

Do you remember it? "

"Mother, please sit down first."

Xue Baoyu suppressed his inappropriate emotions.

I gently comforted my mother, "We don't need to rush for now."

They haven't revealed this yet.

Let's just pretend we don't know.

"Baochai, what do you mean?"

Aunt Xue knew that her daughter was always intelligent and that she was the one who made the decisions about things at home.

She also wanted to know what her daughter's plans were.

"Mother, don't worry."

Xue Baochai poured her mother a cup of tea, "However, my aunt won't bring up any plans for the time being."

Unless Baoyu's marriage is confirmed.

Or perhaps Baoyu got married.

That's why your aunt mentioned this to you, Mother.

"She's dreaming."

Aunt Xue snorted coldly, "Do you think we, mother and daughter, will obediently agree to whatever she says?"

Instead of making her a concubine for her good-for-nothing son, she would be better off finding another high-ranking official or nobleman.

At least they have real power and can get things done.

What can Baoyu do?

She only knows how to eat the rouge off the maid's lips.

The more he talked, the more disgusted she looked.

The son-in-law who used to be a good son-in-law in her eyes is now a piece of trash.

Xue Baochai was stunned when she heard her mother's words.

If it really was a concubine.

Marrying any powerful or wealthy man would be much better than marrying Baoyu.

At least the others had power, while Baoyu had nothing.

If you're going to choose, you should definitely choose the best one, the one that's most advantageous to you.

"Baochai, what are you thinking about?"

Finding her daughter lost in thought, Aunt Xue looked puzzled. "You haven't fallen in love with Baoyu and now you can't bear to part with him, have you?"

"Mother, do you mean I want to break up with him?"

"What, you're not happy?"

"No."

Xue Baochai gently shook her head, "I just think it's best to think it over carefully first."

It's best not to change anything for now.

"What do you mean?"

Aunt Xue frowned. "Let's keep it from them for now and make plans later, right?"

"Yes."

Xue Baochai replied, "Mother, we only have this plan now."
