The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

It was nothing more than the official media praising Jia Cong and then giving Xue Baochai a good compliment.

In fact, the praise that the official media gave Jia Cong was all taught to her by Jia Huan, and it was all an undeniable fact.

Jia Huan's main selling point is 'honesty', which gradually leads Xue Baochai and Aunt Xue to discover that the official media's praise was true. Their surprise and joy are unimaginable.

The main hall of the Xue family was filled with a joyous atmosphere, but Jia Huan keenly noticed that Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai seemed a little absent-minded.

What the hell are you two trying to do?

Although Jia Huan wore a smile on his face, he was quite dissatisfied in his heart.

After the official media had completed their task and received their twenty taels of silver in a red envelope, they left happily.

Jia Huan's face immediately turned extremely ugly, and he said in a deep voice, "Don't be so ungrateful!"

Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai were both stunned!

"Huan-ge'er, what do you mean by this?"

Aunt Xue exclaimed in shock and anger, "This is the Xue family home, you cannot be so presumptuous here!"

What could I possibly mean?

Jia Huan coldly said, "If you don't want to get married, just say so. Are you really giving me face?"

He suddenly stood up and said disdainfully, "You're only giving your daughter a chance because of Xue Pan!"

"Still dreaming of entering the Rong Mansion? Unless Consort Yuan and the old lady in the palace all die, it's just a pipe dream!"

"Even at this point, you still look so distracted. Who are you trying to impress?"

"I don't know where you get your confidence. This is the capital. Even in Nanjing, your Xue family is nothing special!"

"Get a good look at Xue Pan and find out what the situation is like outside!"

"Don't think you're so great just because you're in the Rong family and have the madam pampering you. You're just after the money from the Xue family!"

"The three Chun sisters can marry into noble families so easily, can Miss Xue do that?"

"There are some things I don't even bother to say. Do you really think the Rong family looks up to you?"

After saying that, he turned and walked out, ignoring the unpleasant expressions on Aunt Xue's and Xue Baochai's faces.

As they were leaving, they ran into Xue Pan, who looked hesitant; he had obviously heard the commotion as well.

"Brother Xue, have a good talk with your mother and sister, and help them calm down!"

Jia Huan said leisurely, "This marriage will be postponed for now!"

"Brother Huan, aren't you going a bit too far?"

Xue Pan was a little scared, but he still mustered up his courage and said, "My mother and sister definitely wouldn't have any other ideas!"

If it were anyone else, and they dared to act like that in front of his mother and sister, he would have already drawn his knife.

Unfortunately, it was Jia Huan who turned on them. Although I hadn't seen him personally take action much, I couldn't help but feel terrified. I had a terrifying feeling that if I dared to make a move, I would die without a burial place.

In addition, he was also very dissatisfied with his mother and sister's behavior. They were still hesitating at this point, weren't they just slapping him in the face?

Whether it passes or not, we'll have to ask your mother and sister!

Jia Huan said calmly, "Their attitude shows they look down on Cong-ge'er!"

"I miscalculated. Let's wait until the martial arts examination in October is over before discussing anything else!"

"But by then, your sister probably won't be so confident!"

After saying that, he patted his behind and left without lingering at all.

Xue Pan stood at the entrance of the main hall for a long time before finally entering dejectedly.

The atmosphere in the main hall was very cold and solemn, with both Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai wearing unpleasant expressions.

After all, they were his mother and sister, so he couldn't say much. He could only helplessly say, "Alright, alright, let's put the marriage on hold for now and just take a good look at them!"

He knew that as long as Jia Huan objected, Cong-ge'er would not proceed with the marriage.

In the end, it will be the Xue family that loses face, so there's really no need to make a fuss.

"Pan'er, Huan-ge'er has really gone too far this time!"

Aunt Xue said angrily, "From now on, stay away from him!"

Xue Pan said helplessly, "Mother, I don't really care. At worst, we can just stop cooperating with Brother Huan. With the power of our Xue family, we can still barely maintain our position!"

"But in this way, my younger sister will almost certainly have no chance in the future!"

"what chance?"

Aunt Xue sneered, "Anyone who didn't know better would think the Xue family would be finished without him!"

Xue Pan remained silent, but he understood that without the help of Huan brothers, the Xue family would not experience any major turmoil, and they could only focus on maintaining the status quo.

As long as the alliance of the four major families of Jinling remains intact, the Xue family will continue to be wealthy and powerful for many more years.

However, if you want to ride on the coattails of Huan Brothers and Cong Brother's meteoric rise, you're just dreaming.

Anyone who isn't a fool and has spent some time with Jia Huan and Jia Cong would understand that these two brothers are destined for greatness; their current limitations are simply due to their age.

Of course, Xue Pan's years of wandering around haven't been for nothing.

At least they're still thinking clearly. Even if they can't become in-laws, they can still be friends.

"Brother, you seem somewhat afraid of Huan-ge'er?"

Xue Baochai calmed down earlier. She also noticed that Jia Huan and Xue Pan seemed to have said something at the door, but it was strange that Xue Pan did not fly into a rage and start a fight.

Knowing Xue Pan as she did, she knew he would have gone berserk long ago if anyone had treated her and her so rudely.

"Anyone who spends some time with him would be afraid."

Faced with his sister's question and his mother's probing gaze, Xue Pan said frankly, "If we offend the Rong family, at most we won't be relatives anymore. But if we offend Huan-ge'er, we won't be able to stay in the capital anymore!"

"So exaggerated?"

Xue Baochai was taken aback and asked in confusion, "How come I can't tell?"

"They just don't want to cause trouble in the Rong Mansion!"

Xue Pan said with a wry smile, "He's very powerful outside, but not many forces are willing to fight him head-on!"

"Hmph, he's just a street thug!"

Aunt Xue scoffed, "Even if the Xue family doesn't rely on the Rong family, they still have your uncle, don't they?"

"Mother, it's fine to say these things in front of my sister and me, but please don't say them outside!"

Xue Pan was startled and said helplessly, "Brother Huan told me about my uncle's situation, and he wasn't very optimistic about it!"

He raised his hand to stop him, saying, "Let me finish. He said my uncle is the makings of an official!"

"In peaceful times, with my uncle's ability to scheme and maneuver, he might even have a chance to enter the cabinet!"

"Unfortunately, the current environment isn't very friendly to my uncle!"

Seeing that his mother and sister were listening attentively, he continued, "I now intend to make a name for myself in martial arts!"

"Recently, tensions have escalated on the border. It's hard to say when a full-blown war might break out!"

“My uncle is currently inspecting the Nine Border Regions. If the emperor were to suddenly appoint him to oversee the border defenses, or even give him command of a border army, we would be doomed!”

“Uncle has no practical experience in leading troops. Once he personally leads troops, he will encounter fierce border battles. Brother Huan is not optimistic about Uncle’s command ability!”

"Ha, that sounds nice!"

Aunt Xue remained unmoved and sneered, "What does a illegitimate son who split off from the Rong family know about leading troops into battle? What a joke!"

Xue Pan didn't offer any further explanation, and changed the subject, saying, "Then let's put this matter aside for now, little sister!"

"That's how it should be!"

Aunt Xue was still furious and said with dissatisfaction, "I'll see what he can do to look down on the Xue family!"

Xue Baochai remained silent, but subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

To put it bluntly, I'm still unwilling to accept it; my ambition to rise to the top has come to an end just like that.

Jia Huan's undisguised disdain and indifference deeply stung her heart.

To everyone's surprise, in Jia Huan's heart, the Xue family was nothing at all!

It's unclear where he, a son of a concubine who left the manor, got the confidence to be so arrogant.

Little did Jia Huan know that in his eyes, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai were the arrogant ones!

He led his men directly to the martial arts school, where Jia Cong greeted them and asked immediately, "Brother Huan, how did it go?"

"not so good!"

Jia Huan said, "Let's put the marriage alliance with the Xue family on hold for now!"

"Let's talk about it after the martial arts examination in October. Then who will dare to look down on us brothers!"

A cold glint flashed in Jia Cong's eyes, and he nodded solemnly, saying, "I'll listen to you!"
