Chapter 182 Go and break his other leg too.
Lan Su knew that Mr. Yuan wasn't joking; she really meant to have Lan Cong discipline her.
Hmph, he has one face when he's with other girls, but a completely different face when he's with her. That's so unfair!
She had just opened her mouth when Xiangtao and Wenshuang walked in.
"Granny Yuan, Lan Su is here too. I was just about to come find you to come together."
Having just heard what Lan Su said, and now seeing Xiang Tao and Wen Shuang coming together, Yuan Hongqu had a vague suspicion that today's events were also related to the two of them.
"Hmm, you two went to Pear Blossom Courtyard to deliver a thank-you gift today, did something happen?"
Xiangtao was fine upon hearing this, but Wenshuang's expression changed, filled with indignation.
It turns out that Wen Shuang came back to the Lin family today to collect a thank-you gift, and then went to the Rongguo Mansion. After showing it to Yuan Hongqu, she and Xiang Tao went to Lixiang Courtyard to deliver the gift.
Ever since Xiangtao caused such a scene at Pear Fragrance Courtyard and took Xiangling away, everyone there had a very strong impression of her. When Aunt Xue and her daughter heard from the maid that Xiangtao had also come, they were reluctant to see her.
So the two of them asked their maid to tell them that they were taking a nap and that they could just leave their things there.
Since that was the case, the two of them didn't plan to stay any longer anyway. They simply left the gift list and gift box and headed out.
They felt it was unnecessary to wait for the Xue mother and daughter to get up, exchange pleasantries, and listen to their insincere words.
Xiangtao and Wenshuang had just reached the door when they bumped into Xue Pan, who had just entered the courtyard through the back door.
Xue Pan's bruises had barely faded when he rushed out to find his cronies. However, because of his recent trouble, these men had all received warnings from the Jia family and were hesitant to take Xue Pan out to play anytime soon.
Xue Pan wandered around but couldn't find anything fun. Feeling restless and annoyed, he went home again.
As soon as he entered, he saw two pretty girls leaving his house.
He recognized one of them as Xiangling's older sister, but he had never seen the other before, though she looked just as beautiful as Xiangling.
Moreover, this girl doesn't have the same unfortunate appearance as Xiangling. This girl has big, round eyes, fleshy cheeks, red lips without lipstick, and green eyebrows without makeup.
The fortune teller had said that Xiangling, with her thin face, was the one who would bring him bad luck. So, wouldn't this woman be a blessed woman, bringing him the most good fortune?
Xue Pan had an idea, and seeing that the two of them didn't even glance at him before they were about to leave, he quickly stepped forward to block them, saying with a grin,
"Isn't this Xiangling's older sister, Miss Xiangtao? How come you don't even know how to greet a man? How is my Xiangling doing these days?"
Xiangtao gave him a cold look, and Xue Pan felt a chill run down his spine: This young lady is not to be trifled with. The scene she caused when she came to take Xiangling before the New Year still haunts him.
Xue Pan shrank back, looking somewhat embarrassed, but then his gaze inadvertently fell on Wen Shuang's smile, and he felt as if his soul was about to leave his body.
Wen Shuang thought that they would have to use a lot of persuasion to leave because this person was blocking their way, but unexpectedly, Xiang Tao gave her a look and the person shrank back. Wen Shuang did not expect that this person was so afraid of Xiang Tao, and she smiled unconsciously, but Xue Pan misunderstood her.
Xue Pan thought Wen Shuang was smiling at him, and suddenly, out of nowhere, he mustered up some courage and stopped the two of them again, but he didn't say anything.
Xiangtao frowned. "Young Master Xue, what is the meaning of this?"
"Miss Xiangtao took my Xiangling away, shouldn't she compensate me with someone else?" Xue Pan said, his eyes constantly glancing at Wen Shuang's face and body, feeling more and more that Wen Shuang was his destined one.
When Wen Shuang saw Xue Pan scrutinizing her like that, she panicked and quickly stepped back.
"Young Master Xue, my sister is now a widow. Feng Yuan was killed by you for her sake." Xiang Tao stared at Xue Pan and said, enunciating each word clearly:
“Now my sister has to observe three years of mourning for Feng Yuan. Let’s settle this score first, and then we can talk about compensating him.”
Xue Pan listened to these words without taking them seriously.
"Pah, you little slut, pretending to be a virtuous widow!" he cursed, but then he saw Wen Shuang's big eyes staring at him, her long eyebrows slightly furrowed. Why was the beauty looking at him? Could it be that she also had feelings for him?
Xue Pan's heart fluttered with pride, and he stepped forward directly to Wen Shuang.
"What is your name, sister? Where do you live? I will have my mother go to your house to propose marriage."
Wen Shuang had never seen such a despicable person before. Shocked, she didn't know how to rebuke him, and her face was full of shame and indignation.
"Young Master Xue, if you've had too much to drink, why don't you go and sober up first!" Xiangtao pulled Wen Shuang behind her.
Xue Pan didn't pay any attention to Xiang Tao's words. When he saw the beauty hiding, he thought Wen Shuang was just shy.
So he wanted to bypass Xiangtao and go directly to pull Wenshuang.
Xiangtao was not about to let this fool Xue get his hands on her, so she reached out to stop him.
The three of them fought like eagles catching chicks, each trying to catch the other.
Although Xue Pan was a man, he had long since been weakened by wine and women, so his strength was actually inferior to that of the two women, Xiang Tao and Wen Shuang.
However, Xue Pan was a spoiled brat who knew nothing of propriety, righteousness, or shame. As he gradually lost his strength, he simply stopped blocking and kicked out. Fortunately, Xiang Tao was quick and managed to dodge. He then kicked out again, and Xiang Tao and Wen Shuang could only dodge but could not retaliate.
Even if Xue Pan was living under someone else's roof, he was still the master, and they were servants. Although they were not servants of the Xue family, it was still wrong of them to fight back and hit Xue Pan.
"Mrs. Xue, Miss Xue, is your young master trying to kill us to silence us? Aren't you afraid that my Mr. Yuan will come knocking on our door later? If you're not afraid, then don't come out!" Xiangtao shouted as she dodged.
Aunt Xue originally intended for Xue Pan to teach Xiang Tao a lesson, which would be good for her to vent her anger, so she hid and didn't come out.
Hearing Xiangtao shouting in the courtyard, he knew that if he didn't come out soon, things might not end well, so he came out and scolded Xue Pan.
Unexpectedly, although Xue Pan moved aside, he was still lustful and kept staring at Wen Shuang, asking her if she was a maid from the Lin family, saying that he had asked the Lin family for her.
Wen Shuang was both ashamed and angry, and ran out. Xiang Tao saw this and hurriedly chased after her.
Aunt Xue wanted to say a few words to coax the two girls, but before she could say anything, they ran off.
She was a little worried that Yuan Hongqu would come looking for an explanation, but then she thought, they're just two girls. Pan'er seems to like the one with the round face quite a bit. If Yuan Hongqu comes looking for her, she could take the opportunity to marry that girl.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Hongqu never came looking for him, and by evening, Xue Pan's leg was broken.
Aunt Xue had considered the possibility that it was the Lin family who did it, but considering who came today, she doubted that anyone could lift Pan'er up and place him on the artificial hill with one hand. Therefore, she assumed that Xue Pan had offended some powerful figure outside, and that person had followed him in to seek revenge.
"That was too lenient. Lan Su, go and break his other leg tonight too. I won't be satisfied until he's bedridden for a year or two!"
