Since Xue Hong became a marquis, although he has left the clan, he still has close contacts with the Xue family and treats the Xue family very well.
Therefore, Xue Pan, a Ziweishe family member, could barely afford a living in the capital, and the Xue family's business was booming by relying on their status as an imperial merchant.
With Xue Hong's teachings, although Xue Pan did not have the ability to learn to worship a prime minister, he still had the ability to distinguish right from wrong, seek good fortune and avoid evil, and know how to make good use of people.
Therefore, the Xue family's money was pouring in again, which made the Rongguo Mansion very jealous.
Although Mrs. Wang was declined by Mrs. Xue, she did not give up.
In her opinion, a good girl like Baochai, who also has the status of a county prince and is a relative, is the perfect match for her blessed Baoyu.
Moreover, the Xue Mansion is said to be as rich in pearls as earth and gold, so the dowry must start at a million.
Moreover, Xue Hong is now in the royal family, and he is capable and powerful. If he can marry Baochai, he may not be able to join Xue Hong's line, and even help a bunch of Yuanchun in the palace.
But Mrs. Wang also knew that there were many girls in the family, and Xue Baochai was now better than most of the girls in the capital based on her background.
Although my treasure may have great potential in the future, after all, it is still small and lacks competitiveness.
Mrs. Wang came up with a good idea, which was to deal with Baochai the way Jia Mu dealt with Lin Daiyu, and find a way to ruin Baochai's reputation so that Baochai could only marry Jia Baoyu!
But it is a pity that before Xue Hong left the house, he told Baochai not to leave the house unless necessary.
Mrs. Wang sent someone to invite Baochai over to play, but she happened to encounter Baochai who "caught an occasional cold" and the plan went bankrupt.
In desperation, Mrs. Wang happened to meet Ma Daopo who came into Rongguo Mansion.
Ma Daopo was also very observant. Seeing Mrs. Wang's frown, she said, "Excuse me, madam, why are you frowning?"
Mrs. Wang held her handkerchief and said casually: "It's nothing, it's just that I fell in love with a girl for my son, but that girl's status, temperament and appearance are all top-notch. I'm worried..."
Ma Daopo asked: "Madam, what's going on? What's the difficulty? As Baoyu's godmother, I naturally want to help Baoyu fight for this good marriage... But, Baoyu has a noble destiny, and I have a good reputation.
If it’s not enough, if you rush..."
Mrs. Wang instantly understood what Ma Daopo meant and said with a smile: "I understand your difficulty, but it is related to Baoyu's future. You are Baoyu's godmother, and you are compassionate and capable, so naturally I want to ask you for help. Here
If things go well, I will give you five thousand taels of fragrant oil money afterwards."
Hearing this, Ma Daopo looked embarrassed and gritted her teeth at the end: "Well, for Baoyu's sake, I will make an exception. It's just that the woman's birth date and objects contaminated with breath are needed to cast the spell."
Mrs. Wang: "This matter is easy to handle..."
…
One night, Ying'er brought basins of hot water to Baochai's room.
Baochai took off her skirt, revealing the white and tender body of Xiao He, whose flawless white body entered the water and caused a ripple.
Pink petals are floating on the clear water, and the two colors are intertwined.
As a snow-white body submerged into the water, a few naughty petals clung to the hills half exposed on the water.
Xiangling was holding a towel, and Hua Petals was waiting on her side.
Suddenly, Xiangling's eyes stopped on the jade pendant on Baochai's chest: "Huh? Miss, why do you still wear this jade pendant when taking a bath? Isn't it very inconvenient?"
Baochai held up the jade pendant on her chest with both hands and said with a smile: "Brother Hong told me before he left that the jade pendant should not be left behind. Naturally, I have to wear it close to my body and never leave it."
Suddenly, Baochai felt cold all over her body, and she shrank underwater: "Xiang Ling, go and ask Ying'er to bring some hot water."
"Yes, miss."
Xiangling put down the towel in the copper basin, turned around and walked out of the room.
Just after Xiangling left, a wisp of gray gas silently penetrated into the room and quietly leaned towards Baochai.
Baochai didn't realize it, and gently teased a few strands of water with her jade hands, playing around. The girl's naughty innocence was fully displayed.
Little did they know, the gray gas was getting closer and closer, almost touching Baochai's flawless white back.
Suddenly, the jade pendant on Baochai's chest shot out a golden light, and a cold shout came out: "Rat! How dare you!"
I saw a phantom of Yuan Shen emerging, his sleeves and robes waved lightly, and all the strangeness in the room disappeared.
Xue Hong's projection: "The cause of the reversal of all effects! The cause! Trace it back! Go!"
A golden thunder flashed away.
Baochai: "Brother Hong?"
Xue Hongjiujiu turned around when he heard the words: "Sister, remember, don't want a jade pendant..."
The air suddenly became quiet.
Baochai's face instantly turned red. He hid his body in the water and said softly: "Brother Hong..."
The sound was like a mosquito, but it sounded like thunder in Xue Hong's ears.
Xue Hong reacted from the brain failure and turned into a golden light and disappeared into the jade pendant again.
"Baochai, I'm sorry..."
Baochai held up the jade pendant with both hands and looked at it. Finally, she closed her eyes shyly, pressed the jade pendant to her heart, and murmured: "Brother Hong, I am very pleased with it..."
…
Xue Hong, who was leading his troops straight to the shogunate on horseback, didn't know why, but he suddenly accidentally fell off his horse.
Zhu Hui and Chen Chen quickly ordered the army to stop and check Xue Hong's situation.
At this moment, Xue Hong's neck and face were all red, and there was some guilt and shyness in his eyes.
Zhu Hui: "Junchen, what happened to you just now? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Chen Chen: "If you feel uncomfortable, don't hold on. You are our backbone. It doesn't matter if we attack the shogunate later.
If we feel uncomfortable, we will return to the DPRK immediately!"
Zhu Hui: "As a prince, I give an order to the entire army..."
Xue Hong: "Your Highness, wait! I'm fine. I just... thought of something unintentionally."
"The whole army is temporarily resting, and we will continue to advance later! I will take back the three artifacts from Japan and give them to Your Majesty to use to suppress the Land of Grain Reincarnation in the Imperial Palace!
By the way, take the Emperor back to dance for His Majesty!"
…
Last night, a golden light suddenly flashed at Ma Daopo's residence, followed by the sound of thunder.
Early the next morning, someone went to see Ma Daopo for errands and found that Ma Daopo was dead, with a black mark on her forehead, and she was suspected of being struck by lightning.
Ma Daopo was a well-known goddess near the capital. She walked in and out of the Duke's mansion as if she were on the ground, so the news that she was struck to death by lightning caused quite a stir.
Everyone talked one after another, saying that Ma Daopo had done something immoral and was taken away by God.
But there are always some smart people who think differently from ordinary people.
Mrs. Wang sat on the couch, closing her eyes and thinking:
Ma Daopo said that my son has a noble destiny, but her cultivation is not enough. If she rashly affects my son's future, it will be dangerous.
Now that Ma Daopo was killed by the golden thunder, doesn't it mean that my son is extraordinary?
This actually strengthened Mrs. Wang's determination to plan for Baoyu's future.
