Because Xie Wan had already made it clear that she was not afraid of being implicated by Xiao Baoxin’s reputation, this matter was different from the past. Firstly, it involved the government, and secondly, it was a mess in the residence. It was not suitable for guests, so Xiao Baoxin personally wrote a letter to explain.
Xie Wan was not a petty person. No matter who had such a situation, she would not be in the mood to invite the guests for a small gathering. Hence, she wrote back enthusiastically. Chu Lingzi was unwilling to be lonely and also replied to a letter. Therefore, although the few young ladies did not gather together, they became much closer because of the letters they exchanged.
Wang Qiang was older, and both her personality and letters were steady and graceful. Chu Lingzi likes to write in line, free and unrestrained; Among them, Xie Wan had the best handwriting. She had learned a small regular script with a hairpin flower and was delicate and lively.
At this moment, Xiao Baoxin was glad that Madam Xie had forced her to practice her calligraphy when she was young. This was why her calligraphy skills were not so weak now.
Even so, she did not show her timidity. Compared to the three noble ladies from the aristocratic families, her handwriting was inferior and could barely match up to Chu Lingzi. She was very casual and was praised by Xie Wan for her strength of character. She looked just like her, straightforward and magnanimous.
The days passed slowly as the four little ladies wrote letters to each other.
During this period of time, Xiao Jing ‘ai had shown new tricks and made friends with the royal family in various ways. She either accepted the invitation of the princess or the county lord. Whenever someone invited her, she rarely refused.
Now that the Second Lady of the Xiao family had been conferred the title of county head by the emperor, she was truly a relative of the royal family. Madam Xiao could not restrain her.
Moreover, Xiao Miaorong’s marriage had already been decided. Madam Xiao felt that there was no need to be too stiff with Xingping County Head. That person was a very thoughtful person. After being conferred the title of County Head, he was only more respectful to her, his mother, than before. He had done everything in order to maintain his face. If she used her identity as a legitimate mother to bully her again, let alone what others said, Second Brother Xiao would be the first to not do it.
He was jumping up and down, and it was obvious that he was holding back. During this period of time, other than communicating with Wang Xie and Chu, Xiao Baoxin had been paying attention to Xiao Jing ’ai’s movements.
Until one evening when Cai Wei came back sneakily, Xiao Baoxin knew that it was time to pull in the net.
“Hupo said that yesterday they weren’t invited, but Second Lady went to a winery with ease, saying that she wanted to buy some for Lord Zhongcheng to drink. However, she met the King of Xin ’an there. The King of Xin’ an praised Second Lady’s filial piety, but Second Lady was not very happy and left in a hurry. As a result, on the way back, he met another General Yang–was it the General Yang who proposed marriage to his wife?”
Towards Yang Shao, Cai Wei naturally knew him. Back then, it was all thanks to his help that the fire in Scholarflower Alley started.
Xiao Baoxin used Yang Shao to mock Xiao Jing ‘ai. Cai Wei had also watched a good show from the side. So when Hu Po mentioned the general surnamed Yang, he had a dignified appearance and instinctively thought that it was Yang Shao.
As expected, she wanted to snatch her husband from her wife!
“Second Niangzi said that Eldest Niangzi is very worried about the matter of Lu Liu. She often consoled…Pah, what a liar. When had she ever visited a woman in the main house? She would do anything for a man. Using his wife to fight for the title of county head, and now using his wife’s name to seduce men! Shameless!”
“Get to the point.” Xiao Baoxin was speechless.
“This servant feels injustice for Wifey.” Cai Wei explained in a low voice and then loudly replied,””Then, General Yang took on the responsibility of helping to find Lu Liu. Second Lady’s eyes were filled with tears, and she almost didn’t cry. The two of them chatted happily and seemed to have agreed to meet again tomorrow. Second Lady wanted to draw the appearance of the green willow for General Yang to see.”
Oh, she used her brain quite a bit to hook a man. Xiao Baoxin nodded.
In this way, even if Yang Shao had no intention, Xiao Jing ‘ai would probably find some meaning in it. At most, he would use some other means…
Although it was easy for Xiao Jing ‘ai to leave the residence, Yang Shao was on duty in the palace, so he did not have much time. To be able to break through the obstacles with limited resources, Xiao Jing’ ai took great pains.
Although Xiao Baoxin did not know what methods she had used, he sincerely admired her stubbornness. No one could stop her dream of being the mother of a country.
For this, he had put his reputation and marriage at risk.
However, how could she let Xiao Jing ‘ai get what she wanted? She had not even become the mother of a country, yet she was already thinking about how to kill her people. Just a little spark could burn the entire Xiao Manor. Even if it was to protect herself, she had to do her best to stop Xiao Jing ‘ai.
Not to mention, the current Xiao Jing ‘ai made her feel extremely disgusted.
If she didn’t offend him, he wouldn’t offend her. If she offended him, he would beat her until she didn’t have the ability to do it again!
Xiao Baoxin called Mu Jin over,”Do you still have the men’s clothes you used when you left the mansion a while ago?””
Hibiscus was speechless. Why, which girl do you want to catch again?
The truth was revealed by a freak combination of factors.
“I kept it.” She was afraid that the eldest lady would give her such a task again.
He went back to the penthouse and rummaged through the closet. He pressed it in the bottommost closet and beat it up in front of Xiao Baoxin. Xiao Baoxin frowned so much that he could almost pinch a mosquito to death.
She tried it on for the sake of the difficulty. Her chest was a little tight, but everything else was fine.
Hence, he had to find some bandages and wrap them around himself a few times to barely hide it.
“With Wifey’s face, even if you wear men’s clothes, you can see that she is a beauty. “Cai Wei smiled and said,”How can it be good to have a low?””
Xiao Baoxin liked to hear this.” It’s not to pretend to be a man. I’m just wearing it. Don’t be so ostentatious.””With that, she instructed Tangli to iron her clothes and wear them tomorrow.
The next day, as expected, Xiao Jing ‘ai left the residence early in the morning. Xiao Baoxin changed into men’s clothes and put on a spacious woman’s clothes. He took the ox cart out of the residence and changed out of the woman’s clothes as soon as he left the residence. He did not sit in the cart anymore because it was too recognizable.
The ox-cart was not known for its speed, so she could keep up with it with her long legs.
As expected, Xiao Baoxin was dressed in men’s clothing. Even without makeup, one could still tell that he was dressed as a beautiful young lady. He was tall and beautiful. Worried that they would be discovered, Xiao Baoxin, Mu Jin, and You Mei didn’t go forward and only followed from afar.
The more he walked, the more familiar he became. He actually went around the small Changgan and arrived at the Huai Hua Alley where he had caught Yuan Chen’s female prostitute last time!
They had an appointment at home!
Xiao Baoxin gasped in amazement.
It was all thanks to Yang Shao’s secret help at Scholarflower Alley last time, or else it would have been for naught. Xiao Baoxin didn’t want to have too much contact with him, so he asked Xiao Baoshu to thank Yang Shao. Xiao Jingai’s offensive stance was obvious, but he directly entered the room after meeting him. His methods were indeed impressive.
Xiao Jing ‘ai got off the car at the entrance of Huaihua Lane and drove away without stopping.
Xiao Jing ‘ai was wearing a long aqua blue high-waisted dress, and a black gauze veil hung down to her chest, covering her tightly. He walked into the depths of the alley with Jasper and Amber beside him.
Biyu knocked on the door, but Yang Shao came out to welcome her into the house.
Only then did Xiao Baoxin finally manage to get out of his body and swaggeringly walked inside.
Who knew that halfway through, the courtyard door where Yuan Chen was still holding something suddenly opened. Xiao Baoxin stared blankly at Yuan Chen as he came out from inside. He was even more surprised than she was, his eyes almost falling out of their sockets, and his voice was distorted.
“You’re still coming? Are you done?”
