This guy was completely possessed.
If it wasn’t for the fact that she was going to Imperial Censor Xiao’s house later and it wouldn’t look good to leave a palm print on her face, Xiao Baoxin would have slapped her.
Did she think that she valued the honor of being the mother of a country and others thought that it was a hot cake?
She seduced Yang Shao behind his back and wanted Xie Xian to replace him. She thought that the Emperor was a pie with a thin skin and a juicy filling that fell to the ground. Who wanted to pick it up by bending over?
With this brain, why did the heavens want you to be reborn?
Was it because he didn’t cheat enough in his previous life, so he cheated a lot in this life?
Xiao Baoxin was too lazy to say anything else to Xiao Jing ‘ai. This guy was clearly stuck in a dead end.
She was worried, but there was someone more worried than her.
“I have nothing to be unwilling about. I can’t compare to you.” Her heart is higher than the sky.” Xiao Baoxin lowered his eyes slightly and happened to see her eyebrows. She was already in a daze, but she was still dressed meticulously when she went out.
“.. Life is thinner than paper.”
She opened her red lips and spat out the last few words casually.
Xiao Jing ‘ai was already used to Xiao Baoxin’s inability to speak human words, so she didn’t believe her at all.
She did not believe that Xiao Baoxin would be willing to be a wife of a wealthy family after enjoying such a luxurious and supreme life in his previous life.
The Xie family was a century-old aristocratic family, leading the way. It could not be compared to the real royal family. She had not personally enjoyed it, but she had seen it with her own eyes. Yang Shao wished that he could give all the good things to Xiao Baoxin. Even if the two of them quarreled, he always respected her as the queen of the country. She was the one who said everything in the harem. It was best to always hold her in front of him with both hands.
To be honest, she still didn’t understand Xiao Baoxin’s choice.
It could be said that Yang Shao had given Xiao Baoxin everything in the world, except for the one and only-but how could there be one and only in this world?
“It really existed in the previous life, right?”She was sure again.
Xiao Baoxin smiled and shook his head.
“Maybe it doesn’t exist. You’ve been saying it.”
“You’re obviously also-”
” Look.” Xiao Baoxin pointed his chin outward.” Is there anything that’s the same as your previous life?” The Crown Prince was dead, the new Emperor had ascended to the throne, the Xiao family had not fallen, and Xie Xian had not been imprisoned. You also married Yang Shao as you wished.”
“This life is so perfect.”
Xiao Baoxin smiled wantonly and brightly, which contrasted with Xiao Jing ‘ai’s confusion and fear.
Xie Xian rushed back to Rong An Hall not long after. He was different from Xiao Ning, so he didn’t have much to say. He was just passing the message on behalf of Emperor Yong Ping.
Xie Xian and Xiao Baoxin got into the Xie family’s folding calf cart and left.
“What is she doing here?” Xie Xian frowned. He didn’t like Xiao Jing ‘ai. He couldn’t help it. He couldn’t stand being an idiot. His intelligence wasn’t on the same line, so he couldn’t communicate.
Moreover, she was an ignorant person. To describe her as an idiot was an insult to the former Crown Prince.
Xiao Baoxin sneered,”
“Maybe he’s stupid. Everything was different from his previous life. He felt that he was dumbfounded. He even dreamed of becoming the mother of a country…! finally know why I didn’t kill her in my previous life. With her intelligence, she could have killed herself. If I kill her, not only will I dirty my hands, but I will also give her a quick death.”
It was obvious that with this IQ, he was not favored and was not liked in the palace. What kind of bad behavior could he live?
Xie Xian thought even more.
“A madman’s thoughts are always crazier. If this path didn’t work, they would take another path.”
She was only confused by this little bit of reason, so she really did not need to come to his residence, especially when she knew that Xiao Baoxin did not like her. Even if there was something to say, today was Xiao Jing ‘ai’s father’s birthday. They would definitely go over and meet sooner or later.
However, she had to come to the Xie residence to befriend Xiao Ning. It was not impossible for her to use Xiao Ning to plot something else.
After all, she had a criminal record. In her previous life, she used Xiao Baoxin to hook up with Yang Shao. It was possible that she wanted to take the old path after wearing new shoes.
Xiao Baoxin raised his eyebrows.” If Xiao Jing ‘ai still has such thoughts, I really…”
He was speechless.
Was it because he was used to the unorthodox path and didn’t know how to take the orthodox path?
This was the only trick he knew in his two lifetimes. Old wine in an old bottle, could there still be something new?
Xie Xian laughed, and Xiao Baoxin’s face was almost twitching together. He was so disgusted that he couldn’t help it. That little expression was simply too cute, and he immediately had the thought of teasing her.
“Why don’t we make a bet?”
Xiao Baoxin rolled his eyes.”Obviously, he didn’t trust Xiao Jing ‘ai’s character.
###
Xiao Jing ‘ai watched helplessly as Xie Xian supported Xiao Baoxin and walked in front. The two of them acted as if she was not there. Even the servants of the Xie residence could see that something was wrong. They were sisters from the same family, so which one of them wasn’t close and chatting and laughing? However, these two seemed to have nothing to do with each other on the street, and the way they looked at her changed.
The two maids beside Xiao Jing ‘ai were so embarrassed that they couldn’t put their faces down.
She was the only one who walked out of the Xie residence with a heart full of worries. She looked up at the hot and humid sky, the blue sky and white clouds, and the clear sky.
These days, she had been thinking about one thing…She wondered if she had made the wrong choice.
She had taken it for granted.
She had been reborn and knew the direction of the future, but Xiao Baoxin had been reborn like her.
The current result was clearly the result of Xiao Baoxin’s intervention. She had chosen Xie Xian, and the situation had changed.
In her previous life, she had heard Yang Shao mention Xie Xian more than once and had always praised him. She had even regretted that Xie Xian had died early. Otherwise, he would have been a capable minister who could govern the country.
In the past, she only thought of Xie Xian as a symbolic figure. She never expected that he alone would have such a huge impact.
Yang Shao didn’t talk to her about the affairs of the court, and she didn’t know what kind of role Xie Xian played in it, but he was still the new Emperor’s favorite minister. After all, everyone knew about Xie Xian and Sikong Xiao’s contributions to the Dragon. Without them, there would be no new emperor.
She was indeed wrong. She did not include Xie Xian as a variable.
He remembered that Imperial Concubine Liu had taken a liking to Xiao Baoxin and revealed some intentions. At that time, the new Emperor, who was still the Xin ‘an King, was frightened. The new Emperor even had a much better impression of her than Xiao Baoxin.
After all, she had lived for 40 to 50 years. It was impossible for her to not see the meaning in Langjun’s eyes.
Unfortunately, she was afraid that if the Crown Prince ascended the throne, the new Emperor would not have many days to live, so she did not do anything to him.
If she had known earlier, wouldn’t she be the empress today?
Xiao Jing ‘ai couldn’t tell if he was regretful or resentful. He didn’t say anything along the way. He was so gloomy that even the maid beside him felt that something was wrong. He had returned to his mother’s house with a drooping face. Those who knew that he was going to congratulate his father on his birthday, those who didn’t know better would think that he was going to attend a funeral.
Usually, Xiao Jing ‘ai was easy to talk to, but the maids would also look at him. When the master was unhappy, they really did not have the courage to persuade him.
After all, none of them had been served by Xiao Jingai since they were young. Madam Xiao had changed the maids inside and outside many times..
