Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Chapter 425 Returning to the South for Funeral

Wang Xuanhe's marriage was decided by the Supreme Lord, and her future was in the hands of Emperor Chongzhao.

——As long as these two don't want Wang Xuanhe to die, her marriage and future will be unexpectedly good and not shockingly bad.

Speaking of which, among the Wang family, probably only the younger generations and Mrs. Xue Wang didn't know Wang Xuanhe's identity.

"Do you still want to use your aunt in the future?" Yuan was planning to suggest to her daughter that she should burn the bridge after crossing it.

But Wang Xifeng shook her head and said, "My aunt just loves her son so much that she doesn't know Xuan He's identity and thinks she is just an orphan raised by you.

“So in her mind, it was a show of affection towards me.

“She wasn’t wrong in this matter.

"Invite her to dinner tomorrow and quietly tell her Xuan He's identity. Also warn her not to tell her children, who are always causing trouble."

Yuan was very unhappy.

She didn't like dealing with clingy and stupid people, and this Xue Wangshi was just such a person. Unfortunately, this person was quite nice to her daughter, so she had to be perfunctory.

Now that her daughter has clearly stated that she wants to continue to use the Xue family, what else can she do except endure it?

"Mother, have you seen this outside?" Wang Xifeng showed the palace flowers beside only to Yuan.

Yuan felt that her daughter's way of changing the subject was too blunt, and she couldn't help but sneer before looking over lazily:

"Let me see... this looks familiar...

"Oh, now I remember. It was made by your aunt and sent to our shop a few days ago, but I thought it was not good to sell, so I confiscated it.

"Is this sent in for the palace maids to use?"

Yuan picked up one, twisted it in her hand, and threw it back casually.

Wang Xifeng took a deep breath and smiled: "The Xue family's craftsmanship has declined a lot. This material is rare and looks new, but it doesn't look presentable at all, it's vulgar."

Yuan nodded: "That's exactly what you said. It's so vulgar. The material is expensive and it's imported. I can't even decide on a price. It's definitely not going to sell."

Therefore, the price must be very high, and it is specifically used to cheat the emperor of his money.

Then the queen gave the palace flower to herself and specifically asked He Ke to wear it.

Wang Xifeng's eyes were deep, and she smiled coldly. She waved her hand and asked Yuan to take the flower home:

"Just pretend you have forgotten it, take it back and give it to Xue Baochai as a gift."

Yuan blinked and said, "Do you want to see your aunt's attitude?"

"I want to see if Baojie from the Xue family is really a smart person." Wang Xifeng said lightly.

After thinking about it, Yuan also talked about the time when Xue Wangshi brought Xue Baochai home:

"Originally, your aunt had already taken her daughter back to the Xue family's old house in Beijing. But when your second uncle left, he entrusted the Wang family to your aunt.

"Didn't the second master of the Xue family just pass away? The Xue family also has to hold a funeral, so your aunt has to go back.

"She came to ask me that day if I could move back to the Wang family and take care of the old house while looking after her daughter..."

Wang Xifeng was surprised: "She doesn't plan to let Baojie go back for her second uncle's funeral?!"

"That's what I asked as well." Yuan fanned herself leisurely, "She blushed at the time and sighed, saying, 'Bao Jie'er has grown up beautifully.

"But there is no one in the south to support her now. If she takes her daughter back, she is afraid that someone in the Xue family will covet her."

Wang Xifeng said nothing.

If that's the case, then it's not nonsense.

After Wang Ziteng returned to the capital during his mourning period, he said several times that he wanted to bring back Wang Yi, Wang Li and Xue Pan, but Wang Zifu suggested that it would be better to wait until all the children who took the autumn examination were in Jinling to see the outcome.

After all, it is their own hometown, so it can operate more quietly than in the capital.

So Wang Ziteng let it go.

Although there are several people in Jinling now, they are all juniors. What's more, Wang Ren is a fool, and Wang Yi is loyal and easy to be influenced by.

Therefore, no matter how scheming Wang Li was, he would not get involved in the Xue family's affairs when he had to fight alone, let alone the matter of a mere girl.

——If this man takes advantage of the situation again and forces Mrs. Xue and Wang to choose between her relatives in the Xue family and himself, it is possible that Xue Baochai will fall into his hands.

In the end, all of the Xue family's immense wealth will really belong to the Wang family.

"What happened to the mother?"

"I asked her if she had discussed it with Bao Jie'er." Yuan was fanning herself leisurely, with a sneer on her face, "Of course she didn't dare to say she had discussed it.

"So I called Baojie over and asked her if she wanted to accompany her mother back.

"She hesitated.

"I sighed and said that the autumn examination was approaching, and after what happened to Master Xue, even if Pan insisted on taking the exam, he would be very upset and might not get good results.

"She immediately changed her tune and said that she had never been separated from her mother since she was born. Moreover, since it was her uncle's funeral, she would definitely go back to help."

Wang Xifeng sneered.

"You still want to see if she's smart? What's there to see in such a utilitarian little girl?

"I heard that the second son of their family is well-mannered and willing to study, and he is a good child.

"It's a pity that his father made a mistake in promising his sister's marriage to the Mei family. The Mei family wanted to cancel the marriage earlier, but now they want to keep the marriage. I don't know how to fight this lawsuit!"

Yuan chatted with her daughter, drank another bowl of drink, and leaned back on the couch, mumbling,

"If I could live like this in the palace, I wouldn't be afraid to come here often!"

Wang Xifeng couldn't help laughing: "Tomorrow when the situation is more stable, I will take you and your sister to live in the palace for a while."

After thinking for a while, he said, "I still need the Xue family. Mother, please tell my aunt when you go back:

"Let her take Bao Jie'er back without worry. If anyone makes a fuss, tell her that I have already arranged a marriage for Pan Ge'er and Bao Jie'er.

“Any elders in the tribe, tell them to come and talk to me if they are dissatisfied.

"Give my aunt some peace of mind."

Yuan was unhappy from the bottom of her heart. She snorted and pointed at the palace flower: "What about this one? Are you still going to bring it?"

"Bring them along." Wang Xifeng smiled slightly. "Return a favor. If the Xue family doesn't give me an explanation now, I will be the one to decide on the marriages for my cousins ​​in the future. They should think about this themselves."

Only then was Yuan satisfied and nodded.

Seeing that Wang Xuanhe had not returned yet, Yuan moved closer to her daughter and asked in a low voice, "I heard rumors outside that the emperor is about to hold a beauty contest.

"My dear daughter, have you and the Emperor not consummated your marriage yet?"

When Wang Xifeng was asked such embarrassing questions by her own mother, she immediately jumped away and asked loudly, "I'm hungry. How was lunch?"

An'er, who had left early and was standing guard outside, hurriedly opened the bamboo curtain and came in: "I have already sent someone to tell them!

"His Majesty heard that the Madam and the Second Miss had entered the palace, and he specially gave them a feast!"
