Xiao Baoxin’s hand, which was gathering her hair, paused. This was all in her heart. It would happen sooner or later.
In the Xie family, other than the Grand Madame and her mother-in-law, no one else was happy to see Xie Xian marry her. Moreover, Grand madam had already said that she wanted her to take charge of the family, so it was only a matter of time before Madam Wang made a move.
Now that something had happened to the Xiao family, he had hit them when they were down.
If the third household did not make a move at this time, she would think that Madam Wang had no desire for power and was willing to give up the power of the family.
“Is there anything else?” she asked.
Wasn’t this serious enough?
Although Xiao Baoxin had only brought hibiscus back to the Xiao Manor yesterday, he couldn’t resist Cai Wei’s mouth which pried everything open. Moreover, they were all dowry maids of the Xiao family. If they were to die, they would die together. Before Madam could explain, Mu Jin told her everything.
Although Cai Wei didn’t go, the inside story was clear.
Putting aside whether she blamed her little auntie or not, this matter would definitely not be good if it fell into the hands of her in-laws. She was so worried that she could not even be said to be dragging her down. She was almost dragged into the ditch.
If she was narrow-minded, she would be trembling in fear and unable to raise her head in her in-laws ‘house.
It’s gone.”
Originally, there were still some, but Xin ‘an Prince had waited for Lord Lang for more than an hour in the rain. The entire residence knew that this young couple had gone out, so she no longer needed to report back.
With Cai Wei’s golden signboard, the information had to be updated in real time. She was so talkative that it made her sound like she was gossiping.
Xiao Baoxin looked into the bronze mirror and was still as beautiful as ever.
He stood up and instructed,”We don’t care about gossiping behind your back, but if you bump into them, feel free to make a scene.””
“All?” Cai Wei trembled as she said:” Furen has just married into this family. If things get out of hand, I’m afraid it won’t be good for Furen, right?””
Was she really not afraid that her in-laws would return her?
She had misjudged her wife. She was a warrior. She was so tough no matter where she went. She should have been sent to the battlefield to kill. Her style was too unyielding. At home, she only treated it as her wife’s own territory. She could just fight and cause trouble, but her in-laws… This was not easy to handle.
” It’s just that we’ve just married into the family. They don’t think highly of us,” Xiao Baoxin said.”lf we keep on enduring, let’s get down, people all ride to our heads, our situation will only be more awkward, more despised by people.””
“If you don’t kick the first three times, it’ll be difficult in the future.”
“So, if there are any troublemakers, just beat them back. 1’11 take responsibility for the rest.”
Xiao Baoxin had never eaten pork before, but he had seen pigs walk before. He had heard a lot about the twists and turns of the aristocratic families from his female teacher. In the past, it was just a story, but now, it was just a living reality, all the experiences and lessons of history were summed up for her.
“Don’t embarrass me.” Xiao Baoxin said meaningfully.
With a glance, Cai Wei understood and straightened her back,””Understood!”
He rolled up his arms and sleeves. He wished that someone blind would stand in front of him and display his skills so that Madam would not look down on him.
“Nonsense.” Xiao Baoxin laughed and scolded,” Be careful with your hands.”
“Go and instruct the kitchen to prepare breakfast. I want to eat something light today. I’ll bring it up after I’m done practicing my fists and feet.”Xiao Baoxin instructed as he walked out, looking at Cai Wei with a sneaky smile.
“Master Lang has already ordered for the dishes to be served when Furen is hungry.”
Xiao Baoxin’s heart bloomed with joy, and he was even vigorous when practicing his fist.
She withdrew the last move and turned around to see Xie Xian standing in the distance, smiling at her. He was dressed in a long white robe and a brocade crown. He looked like an elegant gentleman with a smile like the spring breeze.
Xiao Baoxin’s heart skipped a beat. It was even more intense than when he was practicing martial arts.
People said that the deer were ramming, but she was hit by dozens of adult male deer with horns on their heads. She was dizzy and even held her breath.
There was no cure for her bad looks. The more she hung out with him, the more ill she became.
” Why didn’t you tell me that you were coming over?” Xiao Baoxin took the handkerchief that Cai Wei handed over and wiped his face, pretending to be calm as he walked forward. “You’ve been busy with government affairs these past two days, so 1 didn’t chase after you since you promised to practice martial arts with me. When you have free time in two days, you have to practice with me.”
Xie Xian thought,”When did he agree? Why doesn’t he remember?”
“Alright.”
The two of them happily reached an agreement on practicing martial arts and went to have breakfast together hand in hand. It was as if honey was mixed with oil, causing Cai Wei to feel sick of it. Was this still their stubborn Lil ‘Miss who did not lose to men? As long as their eyes met in the air, they would exchange glances. After a few rounds of swinging, they were not afraid that their eyes would turn green. It was really sweet.
After eating, he saw that it was almost time, so he went to Yi An Hall to pay his respects to the Grand Madame.
The Grand Mistress had just finished her breakfast and was strolling around the courtyard, fiddling with her flowers and plants. The Old Mistress’s face was filled with joy. Seeing that Xiao Baoxin had come, he even pulled her to look at the flowers for a while before returning to the house.
By right, when the Xin ‘an Prince came in the rain yesterday, it was Mother Xie who sent someone to call Third Master Xie over to receive him. He should have known that they had gone out of the residence. He did not even ask a question or say a harsh word. They chatted for a while and asked if Xiao Baoxin was used to the food and how the people serving him were.
Xiao Baoxin felt awkward in his heart. She really did not want such a good grandmother to become estranged because of gossip in the future, so she made up her mind to talk about this matter herself.
“Grandmother, something happened to my paternal family yesterday, so… So I begged Ah Lang to go back to my maiden home with me.”
Mother Xie smiled and nodded.” Today is the day you return home. It’s getting late now. If there’s anything, wait for you to come back and tell Grandmother. There’s no hurry. Don’t delay the time.””
Xiao Baoxin was touched by her words. The Grand Madam was too understanding and considerate.
“Yes, then wait for granddaughter-in-law to come back and tell grandmother in detail.”
Sikong Xiao’s parents had died early, and Madam Xie’s maternal family only had one maternal grandfather. He had also died when Xiao Baoxin was two years old. She had never stayed in front of her ancestors and had never felt the love of the great madam, which made people involuntarily want to get close to her.
“Yo, what does Bao Xin want to tell Grand Furen in detail? Look, you know how to act coquettishly. No wonder the great madam likes you. When 1 heard that, my heart felt warm and I wished I could take it to heart and dote on you.”
Halfway through her sentence, Madam Wang walked in with a smile. Madam Yuan came in with her. The two of them happened to meet outside Yi An Hall, so they came in together.
“I’ve already gotten someone to prepare Baoxin’s return gift. It’s already loaded into a car and is waiting in the backyard. When Ah Lang and Bao Xin were leaving, they would follow after informing them.”
As she spoke, she took the gift list from the hand of the maid and handed it to Mother Xie with both hands.
Actually, it should have been directly handed over to Xie Xian’s hands, but to show respect, Madam Wang still handed it over to Mother Xie first..
