Spoilers for The Red Mansion, Daiyu’s mentality is broken

Chapter 98: Most justice starts from slaughtering dogs

Xue Pan pulled Jia Huan into the carriage and went straight to Taifeng Tower.

Tai Feng Building is a famous building in Beijing and one of the eight buildings. The dishes there are delicious and of course very expensive.

Not long after, the two arrived at Tai Feng Tower.

Xue Pan directly asked for a private room, ordered a large table of dishes, and ordered a jar of fine wine.

The two serving maids poured wine for the two of them. Xue Pan picked up the wine glass and said: "Brother Huan, this time it's all my aunt's fault. If it weren't for relatives, I wouldn't be able to say anything good. This time I called Brother Huan came out just to accompany you."

"Brother Huan has left Jia's house, and I'm afraid he won't be rich. You can use these 3000 taels of silver first. If you are short of anything in the future, just come to me. As long as I can help, brother, I will never decline."

After saying that, Xue Pan directly placed the 3000 taels of silver notes in front of Jia Huan, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Huh?What kind of trick is this, idiot Xue?He actually apologized for Mrs. Wang?And gave me 3000 taels of silver?
Could it be that he is hiding an adulterer in his heart?But this idiot Xue didn’t wait for the city government.

Jia Huan did not take the money, but asked curiously: "Brother Xue gave me help in times of need. I am just asking for it. There is no deep affection between you and me. Mrs. Wang is your closest relative. Is there any reason for you to apologize on her behalf?"

Hearing this, Xue Pan's face turned red, he was so angry that he almost burst into anger.

He said angrily: "Brother Huan, you actually doubt me? If I weren't sincere, I would be the bastard in that pool. If I hold a stone tablet on my head, I will never be able to lift my head up again in this life."

"What Brother Huan doesn't know is that I have benefited a lot from Brother Huan. Since I came to the capital, I have discovered that I only have a few stinky money in my hands, and I am actually a country bumpkin."

"Let's just talk about the serious children of the Jia family. They are all trying to coax me. How many of them really think highly of me? In the capital, I am rich, but I can't get in touch with those respectable sisters. They are serious people. Ignore me."

"Since Brother Huan's poems became famous far and wide, I have been able to use my identity as Brother Huan's cousin to my advantage in every possible way. Those sisters, all of them serve me well, and they only hope to get Brother Huan's favor. A poem or a word as a gift?"

Hearing this, Jia Huan couldn't help but be stunned.

Good guy, I thought this Xue Pan was stupid, but it turned out that he understood a little bit.

But it’s a bit too much for you to use my name to visit brothels all the time!

Xue Pan added: "Not to mention the last time in Cuiyun Tower, when Zhou Tong beat him and forced him to kneel down. What kind of good bird is Baoyu? He's not as good as me!"

"Later, the guy said that I was the one who knelt down first and let the damn dog fart. It was clearly him who knelt down first and it was me who was blamed. Look, is this something done by a human being? His Baoyu is the one who knelt down first. The Emperor, do I deserve to take the blame for him?"

"If Brother Huan hadn't been there that time, I don't know how much suffering I would have suffered! That time, when I went back, I told my mother that I wanted to invite Brother Huan to be a host at home to thank you for your rescue."

"In the end, my mother pushed her away in every possible way, and I couldn't say much. I have always kept Brother Huan's kindness in my heart. I can't say much about this incident."

"These 3000 taels of silver are just my thoughts. If Brother Huan likes me, don't talk nonsense and just take it away. If you don't like me, I won't dare to bother you again in the future."

After saying that, Xue Pan stared at Jia Huan with a pair of bull's eyes.

Although Xue Pan's words were somewhat irrelevant, Jia Huan probably understood them.

First of all, a bunch of dudes in the Jia family looked down upon Xue Pan, but Xue Pan also looked down upon them. Xue Pan and even Jia Baoyu looked down upon them.

Secondly, after he rescued Xue Pan last time, Xue Pan originally wanted to treat him to a meal, but Aunt Xue rejected it.It must be because of Jia Baoyu and Mrs. Wang.

In the end, Xue Pan saw that he was in trouble and came to help him sincerely, without hiding any evil intentions.Well, only Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai, mother and daughter, can do this kind of thing. Rough people like Xue Pan can't do this at all.

Among the Red Mansions book friends, there must be many who like Xue Baochai.

Even for Aunt Xue, she probably feels that she is much better than Mrs. Wang.

Neither mother nor daughter is hiding an adulterer.However, great traitors appear to be loyal, and true traitors always appear to be good.

A person like Wang Xifeng who shows off his talents cannot be a real traitor.

There may be many book clubs who disagree with my point of view.

However, inferring from the consequential theory, in The Book of Red Mansions, Xue Baochai finally married Jia Baoyu, and Aunt Xue finally achieved her wish.

And what about Lin Daiyu?The fragrance disappears and the jade dies, and the life is gone.

During the Grand View Garden period, how kind were Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai to Lin Daiyu?
Lin Daiyu was moved by Xue Baochai's sincerity and truly regarded Xue Baochai as her sister.

Lin Daiyu also recognized Aunt Xue as her godmother. Did she really recognize them as mother and daughter?

However, did Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai really regard Lin Daiyu as their closest relatives?

Of course, the Xue family needs to marry with the Jia family to preserve the Xue family's property.

But Lin Daiyu will only die if she doesn't marry into the Jia family.

When their interests conflicted, Aunt Xue abandoned Lin Daiyu without hesitation.

In other words, she was just playing tricks on Lin Daiyu from the beginning.

Isn't this kind of behavior a traitor?

Of course, everyone has their own standpoint, and Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai also have their own difficulties.

If Xue Pan wasn't so unmotivated, why should they be like this?
In short, they were doing it for the entire Xue family, and they had no way out.

Jia Huan's conclusion is that the mother and daughter are traitors, but it is difficult to say that they are bad people.

But this Xue Pan is different, he is a true man of temperament.

Xue Pan's behavior greatly touched Jia Huan.

In the entire world of Red Mansions, there were very few people who were kind to him.

Even if there were only a few people in Jia's family who were really nice to him, it would be hard to imagine that idiot Xue would be so nice to him.

Although Xue Pan was a person whom Jia Huan completely despised, his impression of him was greatly changed at this time.

Under Xue Pan's gaze, Jia Huan put away 3000 taels of silver notes.

Seeing this, Xue Pan was overjoyed, holding the wine glass, and drank three glasses in a row.

Jia Huan couldn't help but said: "I have remembered Brother Xue's love, and I will not thank Brother Xue either."

Hearing this, Xue Pan danced with joy.

"That's right. This is a good brother! Brother Huan, if you have anything to do in the future, just come to me. If I have any excuses! It's the bastard in the river."

Jia Huan shook his head, and then asked: "Brother Xue, have you never thought about doing a career that would surprise your aunt and make you proud?"
