Also known as Xue Chong, he is a third-rank vice minister and the father of both Xue Wanyi and Xue Mingfei. He is the supreme authority within the Xue household. While he shows some concern for Xue Wanyi, his primary motivation is protecting the family's political interests and ensuring the imperial decree is fulfilled. He punished Concubine Qiu by halving her allowance and placing her under house arrest to avoid offending the Emperor.
