Chapter 4727 4730 [Xiang Ling]
First, officials are different from ordinary families, and their status is there. The daughters of such families will not be concubines. Otherwise, if it is spread out, the Xue family forced a good woman to be a concubine, and the scholars and officials will not forgive them.
Second, the death of the rabbit makes the fox mourn, and the animals feel sad for their own kind. She is also a person with a daughter, so she naturally knows how sad a mother would be if she lost her daughter.
Therefore, Aunt Xue then ordered someone to call Xiangling.
"You want to take Xiangling away? No, Xiangling is mine." Xue Pan heard Xiang Nan say this, but he stopped him loudly.
Although Xiangling is still young, she looks very outstanding and has the character of the young lady of the East Palace (Qin Keqing). Qin Keqing's courtesy name is Jianmei, and she is as bright and charming as Baochai, and as elegant and graceful as Daiyu.
Although Xue Pan is stupid, he has a good eye for women. He fell in love with Xiangling at first sight, so he forcibly snatched her away, even at the cost of causing a murder lawsuit.
Now seeing Xiang Nan was going to take her away, she was naturally unwilling.
"Brother, don't be silly. You can't keep this girl." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "She is the daughter of a local official, and her mother is still alive. Once it gets out, do you know how serious the consequences will be?"
Zhen Shiyin was a local official who resigned from office and retired. His wife Feng was a concubine, so he was at least a seventh-rank county magistrate. Although the county magistrate was small, he was also a hundred-mile marquis.
Xiangling was Zhen Shiyin's legitimate daughter, and her status was not ordinary and noble, even higher than Xue Baochai. After all, Xue Baochai's father was just an imperial merchant, without a rank.
Xue Pan, the son of a merchant, wanted to take the daughter of a county magistrate as a concubine. Once this matter got out, the officialdom of the literati would be in chaos. Zhen Shiyin's classmates, peers, and fellow soldiers would not let him go.
"Yes, my son, just give up Xiangling, and find you a good one another day." Aunt Xue also hurriedly advised.
"No, I want Xiangling, I want Xiangling." Xue Pan was still twisting his head and acting like a spoiled child.
At this moment, he suddenly had a headache again, "Oh, my headache, it's a severe headache, what's wrong?"
"Brother, don't get angry, otherwise you will get a headache." Xiang Nan reminded him when he saw this.
"So it's you who hurt me again." Xue Pan glared at Xiang Nan.
"Yes." Xiang Nan admitted generously, "Brother, if you don't learn well, you will be restricted by it every day. Don't drink too much, don't cause trouble, don't get angry, don't go to whores and gamble, don't bully others..."
"If you dare to hurt me like this, I will kill you!" Xue Pan was furious after hearing this, and rushed forward to strangle Xiang Nan's neck, scaring Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai to rush forward.
"Damn evil creature, if you want to kill your brother, you might as well kill me first." Aunt Xue shouted anxiously.
"Brother, don't be silly, don't make trouble!" Xue Baochai also said hurriedly.
Xue Pan was angry, and he was determined to kill Xiang Nan, so he pinched Xiang Nan very hard.
But despite this, Xiang Nan did not move at all, but Xue Pan had a severe headache, and his eyes were full of stars and his eyes were full of blood.
"Ah!!!!" He screamed and fell to the ground.
"My son, what's wrong with you?" Aunt Xue was frightened and leaned over to check.
"I'm sorry, brother Bao, my brother is angry again." Xue Baochai apologized to Xiang Nan, "Don't be angry with him."
"Don't worry, he just fainted because he was stubborn and angry, and he is not seriously injured. He will be fine after a rest." Xiang Nan explained.
"Is it really okay?" Aunt Xue asked hurriedly.
"Don't worry, aunt, nothing will happen. Even if something really happens, I can bring the dead back to life, what are you afraid of." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "But big brother really needs to be disciplined. Fortunately, it was me who pinched him today. I have an immortal body, so he can do whatever he wants. If it was someone else, wouldn't it be troublesome?"
"My son, you are right. Alas, this evil creature!" Aunt Xue felt a little ashamed when she heard him say that. Her son was really a bastard. He actually made a mistake with Xiang Nan.
Doesn't he know that Xiang Nan is now a god? Not to mention scolding him, beating him, even taking his life is a piece of cake.
...
"Okay, aunt, I will slowly discipline big brother in the future." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Please bring Xiangling here first."
Aunt Xue nodded and told Tongxi to bring Xiangling.
Xiang Nan waved his hand and asked Xue Pan to sit on the chair.
"Madam, are you looking for me?" A moment later, a little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old was brought over.
"Well, this is my nephew Jia Baoyu, he wants to take you back to see your mother." Aunt Xue pointed at Xiang Nan and said.
Xiangling was stunned.
"Do you still know what your original surname was and what your name was?" Xiang Nan walked up and asked.
"I don't remember." Xiangling shook her head.
"Your original surname was Zhen, and your name was Zhen Yinglian. You are the daughter of Zhen Shiyin, a member of Renqing Lane, Shili Street, Changmen, Suzhou." Xiang Nan told her.
Hearing Xiang Nan say this, Xiangling was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes turned red, and she remembered her name.
She was kidnapped for ten years. In the past ten years, she didn't know how many beatings and scoldings she had suffered, so she didn't dare to remember her name, hometown, and parents.
Now hearing Xiang Nan say this, she suddenly remembered it. The memories of the past vaguely echoed in her mind, making her cry.
"Don't cry, let's go, I'll take you to see your mother." Xiang Nan said again, then looked at Aunt Xue, "Aunt, Xiangling's indenture contract."
"Oh~" Aunt Xue quickly found Xiangling's indenture contract and handed it to Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan returned the indenture to Xiang Ling, "This is your indenture. From now on, you are free."
Xiang Ling was naturally very excited when she took the indenture.
After getting the indenture back, she would be free in the future, no longer afraid or timid.
"Let's go." Xiang Nan took Xiang Ling's arm, then waved his hand, and they disappeared in an instant.
"..." Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai were very surprised to see this.
At this time, Xue Pan also woke up slowly, "Why am I sitting here? What happened just now?"
"You are still talking, you were foolish just now and almost strangled Baoyu to death." Aunt Xue scolded him.
"Oh, by the way, he wants to take Xiangling away, I will never agree." Xue Pan immediately remembered it, and immediately said excitedly, and then covered his head again, "Oh, my head hurts, it hurts so bad."
"Brother, if you don't change in the future, you will always have a headache." Xue Baochai advised, "From now on, you should change."
"It's all that Baoyu who harmed me, I'll kill him." Xue Pan covered his head and said hatefully.
"Damn evil creature, who do you want to kill?" Aunt Xue saw him scolding Xiang Nan and said angrily, "Your brother is a god, even the emperor is afraid of him, how dare you kill him? You are crazy!"
"Yes, brother, he can punch a stone through, killing you is easier than killing a chicken, can you afford to offend him? It's better to change." Xue Baochai advised Xue Pan.
Xue Pan had no choice but to agree.
