Xia Jingui and her cousin had an affair and had her cousin's child in her belly.
Xia Jingui wanted to use this child to take control of the Xue family's property, but was also afraid that Xue Pan would find out that the child did not look like him and was not his child.
Xia Jingui then decided to kill Xue Pan first, and then find an opportunity to make Aunt Xue "sad and die of a serious illness because the white-haired man sent the black-haired man."
When she was making plans with her adulterer, Bao Chan overheard her.
Although Bao Chan was Xia Jingui's confidant before, he had his own thoughts after becoming Xue Pan's woman.
Xue Pan was alive, and Bao Chan was her concubine, half-master, able to wear gold and silver, be popular and drink spicy food.
But Xue Pan died, and she fell completely into Xia Jingui's hands. She was no longer a half-master, but a slave.
And Xia Jingui’s temperament...
Bao Chan made a choice instantly.
But unfortunately she was so unlucky that she was discovered by Xia Jingui and her adulterer, and they killed Bao Chan to silence her.
Only two of them didn't realize that Bao Chan was just faking his death and was still breathing.
The adulterer transported Baochan's body out of the city and threw it away, but Liu Xianglian saw it.
Liu Xianglian recognized Baochan and found that Baochan was still breathing, so he took him back to the city and found a doctor for treatment, saving Baochan's life.
Bao Chan told Xia Jingui’s plan.
Liu Xianglian was shocked and immediately ran to Xue's house.
Xue Pan just took the poisoned soup bowl from Xia Jingui.
Liu Xianglian overturned the soup bowl and told Xia Jingui about killing people for money and committing adultery with others.
Xue Pan and Aunt Xue were shocked, frightened and furious.
Aunt Xue still cared about the Xue family’s face, but Xue Pan didn’t care. He was almost dead, so how could he care about face? She even asked her servants to report the case to the government and bring Xia Jingui and her adulterer to justice. Caught.
There were witnesses and physical evidence, the case was clear, and the government concluded the case quickly.
Xia Jingui and her adulterer were both sentenced to death.
Xia Jingui’s dowry was awarded to the Xue family as compensation.
Lao Xia is the only one left in the Xia family.
After her daughter died, she had no support for the rest of her life. She was kicked out of the Xia family by the Xia clan and became a beggar.
She chose to end her life by diving.
Aunt Xue and Xue Pan were grateful to Liu Xianglian for their timely rescue and treated Liu Xianglian better.
Aunt Xue regarded Liu Xianglian as her own son and took great pains to find a good wife for Liu Xianglian.
But Liu Xianglian was not interested in any of the girls introduced by Aunt Xue.
As a result, Liu Xianglian became the consort.
After Xue Baochai heard about the Xue family, she was worried about her mother and brother and went back to visit them.
The third princess had a very good relationship with Xue Baochai. After Xue Baochai got married, the third princess often went to the palace to look for Xue Baochai.
For this reason, even though Xue Baochai was only a side concubine, her treatment in the prince's palace was comparable to that of a principal concubine.
When Xue Baochai heard the news about the Xue family, the third princess happened to come to see Xue Baochai, so she accompanied Xue Baochai back to the Xue family.
At the Xue family, the third princess met Liu Xianglian and fell in love with him at first sight.
Other noble girls will look at the man’s family background and marry into a family that is similar to their own or even better than their own.
But the princess herself comes from the most noble family in the world, so she doesn't pay much attention to her family background when she gets married.
The third princess fell in love with Liu Xianglian and must marry Liu Xianglian.
She went to see the emperor.
The emperor originally did not want to find a consort with a good family background for the third princess, so as not to increase the bargaining chip for the fifth prince. He originally wanted to marry the third princess at a low age.
But marrying the third princess at a low price made the emperor feel guilty and wanted to find a good man for the third princess. It was rare that the third princess took a fancy to a man with no family background and asked him to propose marriage.
How could the emperor refuse?
When the imperial edict was handed down to the Liu family, Liu Xianglian was stunned.
He is actually going to marry the princess?
Aunt Xue and Xue Pan were happy for Liu Xianglian, and together with Liu Xianglian's old servant, they prepared for Liu Xianglian's marriage.
Liu Xianglian's aunt also personally returned to the Liu family to help her nephew.
She previously thought that her nephew could marry a girl from a good family and live a happy life, and she would be satisfied.
Unexpectedly, my nephew could marry a princess.
Now her back is straightened up in her husband's family. Her mother-in-law no longer says that she only focuses on helping her family, and her sisters-in-law all come to fawn over her.
Aunt Liu's family has never been as prosperous as she is now.
After Liu Xianglian married the princess, she was thrown into the imperial guard by the emperor.
Liu Xianglian has a career, a wife, and is happy in life.
He is very satisfied with his wife.
The third princess is also a beauty, and her beauty is on par with Sister Bao.
After all, a virtuous concubine is also a beauty. If she were not beautiful, she would not be favored by the emperor.
The third princess looks very much like her mother.
Although Rongguo Mansion was raided, it had little impact on Liu Hiong’s embroidery business.
The most important suppliers of goods have left Rongguo Mansion, such as Qingwen, Caixia, Zhui'er and the others.
When these maids saw the Rongguo Mansion vanishing into thin air in the blink of an eye, they all sighed and were glad that they had left the Rongguo Mansion earlier, otherwise they would have been dragged out and sold by the government like other maids.
It would be fine if the person who buys them is an ordinary family, but if the person who buys them is the madam of a brothel, her life will be ruined.
The maids knew each other, so Liu Tong also heard a lot of news about the maids in Rongguo Mansion from his suppliers.
Xi Ren was redeemed by the Hua family.
She never forgot about Jia Baoyu, and soon after returning to Hua's house, she wanted to find Jia Baoyu, but Jia Baoyu had already returned to Jinling with Lin Daiyu.
Xi Ren could not find Jia Baoyu, so he could only marry an ordinary man according to the arrangements of the Hua family.
The conditions of the man’s family are far inferior to those of Jiang Yuhan.
Xiren had endless housework to do every day, and it didn't take long for Xiren to become what Jia Baoyu said was the eyeball of a fish.
Ping'er and Yuanyang were bought back by Wang Xifeng. Ping'er continued to serve Wang Xifeng, while Yuanyang chose to comb his own hair and guard Jia Mu's tomb for the rest of his life.
Yuchuaner was bought back by Caixia.
Yuchuaner is also Liu Higger's supplier. Previously, Yuchuaner embroidered a relatively large screen, and Liu Higger priced it at ten taels of silver.
The money was still in Caixia's hands, and before she could give it to Yuchuaner, the Rongguo Mansion was ransacked.
Caixia and the silver redeemed Yuchuan'er's life. After Yuchuan'er regained her freedom, she used the remaining silver to buy back her nephew and niece.
She borrowed some money from Caixia, rented a place to live, and brought up her nieces and nephews by providing embroidery for Liu Heng.
Although she is not married, her nieces and nephews are all filial and conscientious, and they provide for Yuchuan'er in her old age.
The maids around Baoyu were all betrayed.
Zicuckoo is Lin Daiyu's maid, and Lin Daiyu is just a guest lady in Rongguo Mansion, so her house is not included in the raid.
Lin Daiyu's private property and maids were retained. Zijuan served Lin Daiyu all the time, and later Jia Baoyu followed the couple to Jinling.
Shi Shu also redeemed himself by earning money from writing and selling embroidery.
As for Si Qi, she has long been married to her cousin Pan Youan, not counting someone from Rongguo Mansion.
