Chapter 238: Doesn’t Indulge in Self-Admiration

At first, Sun Shaozong thought that Wei Ruolan would hesitate for a few days until he pretended to take the bait.

However, he obviously underestimated Young Master Wei's eagerness to get revenge and the confidence he had accumulated over the years.

Before leaving the office in the afternoon, Lin Delu came to report that Wei Ruolan had decided to replace Sun Shaozong and straighten out the discipline of the Criminal Department, but he didn't mean to immediately publish the regulations and said that he should reconsider.

Sun Shaozong couldn't help but laugh after hearing the word "reconsider." The key to this bait was the word "discipline." Now that the tone has been set, what effect could Wei Ruolan have even if he reconsidered?

Now that the fish has been hooked, Sun Shaozong naturally has no worries. Seeing that the time was almost up, he left the government and rushed back home.

After returning home, he called Zhao Zhongji and asked him to send someone to send a message to Xue Mansion on Zijin Street. He said that he would be visiting in half an hour and to tell Xue Pan not to go out at that time.

This time leaving the Capital for business, he was sure that he couldnt catch up with Xue Pan's wedding on the ninth day of March. Anyway, he should tell him in advance. In addition, he has to prepare a gift.

After the matter was handed over, Sun Shaozong asked about the whereabouts of his Big Brother. Knowing that he had not returned yet and was likely to spend the night in the barracks, he went back to the backyard.

In fact, he asked for the whereabouts of Sun Shaozu not only to tell him that he would leave the Capital for business soon but also to entrust him with the ability to freely summon Han Anbang. It was better to make him feel annoyed and backpedaled to see if he would dare to make a promise easily in the future.

While there was still some time, Sun Shaozong called Xiangling and Ruan Rong together and told them he needed to go to Jinmen to participate in the listing ceremony of the Governor's Mansion. He briefly said that Xiangling was pregnant now, and Ruan Rong had just given birth, so they just had a few days of harmony with him. Naturally, they were reluctant to part.

However, since they were family members of an official, it was inevitable that they couldnt complain; they just had to accept it.

After that, the three people sat and chatted.

Because one was a new mother and the other was pregnant, most of them were talking about children. Fortunately, Sun Shaozong was also a new father, and it was not boring to listen to them.

After about half an hour, Sun Shaozong took all the gifts and set off to Xue Mansion on Zijin Street.

"Madam has seen him before."

The woman smiled quickly and said, "It is Young Master Sun who is the ruler of the Central Judicial Office. Our Young Master Xue is most convinced by Lord Sun in the family. He finally came to the house, so he naturally wants to have a few drinks with him."

It's him!

Although the number of times she met Sun Shaozong was far lower than that of Feng Ziying and the others, the two different experiences made Aunt Xue remember Sun Shaozong more deeply than others.

Now he heard that this "playboy" had come to visit her home again. Aunt Xue felt like grass growing in her heart and had a lot of eager thoughts.

Since last winter, when she lost her face in the Zijin Temple, she has made great efforts to maintain her beauty. Even her sister, Second Madam Wang, praised her for getting younger. Her skin and flesh were tight and smooth, almost catching up with Baochai.

Now the "frivolous and dissolute" came here alone, without the scruples of his wife and concubine. If she showed her true face in front of him, she should be able to show her beauty and not make him show his indecent face, just like when they first met, right?

With this in mind, Aunt Xue was not in a hurry to remove her makeup. After she sent the woman away, she went to the dresser to touch up, but she was still dissatisfied.

So she changed into a light green lace skirt and saw that the beautiful woman in the mirror was dignified against the imitation of the Tang-style gauze skirt. The outfit showed three points of charm, so she left the dressing table with satisfaction.

Although she was full of expectations, she didnt know exactly how to act so that she could have the opportunity to meet with the "playboy," to induce him and bring shame on himself.

After all, Aunt Xue was just a kind of naive woman. She was not a smart girl. Otherwise, the Xue family wouldnt need to marry a dissolute woman to inherit the title handed down by her ancestors.

Just like that, she didnt know how long she lingered in the room and was still helpless.

She was hesitating to put out her absurd mind, then she suddenly heard the servant girl's report in a panic outside, "Madam, Madam, Young Master Xue drank too much wine in the living room and is making a big fuss. He still kept saying bad things about the Young Madam. What should we do?"

"Why is this evil man making trouble again?!"

Aunt Xue was very angry at first, but then she couldn't help seeing the light in front of her eyes. She quickly shouted and said, "Call up Nanny Zhang and Li Erzhu's family, and come with me to bring him back to the backyard!"
