Chapter 498: Blind for Nothing

Madam Xiao rolled her eyes. Was her daughter so lucky that she was worth crying over?
If it wasn’t for the fact that he was sick and insisted on arguing with him, who would be disgusted if she cried after saying that?
Xiao Baoxin could see that Censor Xiao’s words were piercing Madam Xiao’s heart.””Yes, Third Aunt is blessed. Second Uncle, don’t worry. Third Aunt’s blessing is still behind.”
This was to give Xiao Miaorong face.
Madam Xiao finally calmed down a little. Eldest Lady and Second Lady were not on good terms and were pinching each other like a crow eyed chicken, but she had nothing to say to Third Lady.
“If you want to talk about blessing, it has to be the eldest lady. I just hope that Sanniang is like you, safe and healthy.”
It was not appropriate to say such words in front of his son-in-law, but he thought so in his heart.
In short, all of them were more fortunate than Xiao Jing ‘ai.
Third Master Xi was silent. Was his mother-in-law stabbing a knife into his father-in-law’s heart?
However, he did not want to get involved in the Xiao family’s matters. It was not his place to get involved in the Xie family’s matters. He should just hug his wife tightly and live his own life.
It could be said that Third Master Xi was like a fish in the water in the imperial court as a bastard son, and was more prominent than many Di sons of the Xi family. Although Xie Xian’s recommendation was one aspect, it was also not true that he did not have some schemes. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was full of schemes.
In the past, she wanted to borrow the Yue family’s power, but if she really married into the family, she would really fall for her.
It could also be said that he had already taken a fancy to her after only a few interactions. He liked her undisguised, flamboyant, and heartless way of doing things. Although there were some things that he couldn’t tell her, afraid that she would reveal it when she turned around, he really cared about her. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked for leave to accompany his wife the moment he heard that something had happened to the Yue family.
Although he wasn’t as favored as Xie Xian, who couldn’t be separated from the Emperor for even a moment, he was still considered a new noble in the court. It was rare for him to have this kind of heart.
However, Xiao Miaorong couldn’t understand and thought that it should be like this.
However, Xiao Baoxin could clearly see that no matter how bad she was at scheming, she was still more cunning than Xiao Miaorong. After leaving the main house with Xiao Miaorong, she handed her over to Xiao Miaorong.
There were some things that she did not understand, and as her sister, she could not just watch her do something stupid.
Moreover, she was someone who wanted to take in concubines for her husband before they even married and let others have eight to ten children.
After hearing Xiao Baoxin’s words, Xiao Miaorong opened her mouth wide. Her face was already red, and her eyes were also red from crying. She looked like a cute little rabbit.
“You have to know in your heart and cherish your blessings. Don’t do what Second Mother did, understand?”Xiao Baoxin reminded him,” Xi Sanlang is a shrewd person. Don’t hide anything from him. You can discuss it with him. He won’t harm you.””
“He’s still young and has a bright future ahead of him. Be careful and don’t cause trouble.”
After getting married, Xiao Miaorong finally understood what the word ’cause trouble’ meant. Her face turned even redder,”No, no, I used to be a fool.”Now, she would not allow her husband to be with another woman.
The two chatted for a while before Xiao Miaorong said,
“Just now I also went to the Yang family. The funeral was not shabby, but Second Lady looked quite miserable.”
When a person died, they would all remember her kindness.
However, after thinking about it for a long time, other than Xiao Jing’s love for her when she was young and his selfishness when he grew up, there was really nothing worth remembering.
“Do you think Yang Shao killed him?”Xiao Miaorong asked.
However, she was thinking that if he really killed her, it would be quite scary. Xi Sanlang was good at being weak, not as heroic as Yang Shao.
I thought, Is my aunt a fool?
Mother?
In his previous life, he had dealt with Third Aunt quite a lot, but he didn’t realize that she was such a fool. Although he was careless, he was generous. Now… He couldn’t bear to see it.
Even if Xiao Baoxin did it for Xiao Miaorong’s physical and mental health, he couldn’t say that it was Yang Shao. Moreover, Yang Shao had the heart to do it himself.
If he didn’t hint anything to Lan Ying, Lan Ying wouldn’t be able to stand Xiao Jing’s hobby.
“Naturally, it won’t be General Yang.””
Xiao Miaorong nodded, afraid that her father was too sad and confused.
Yang Shao’s future was limitless and he was valued by the Emperor. There was really no need to kill his wife at this time…These words were naturally said by Xi Sanlang.
Madam Xie didn’t stay for long. Censor Xiao saw that the acupuncture was effective, so he just needed to rest every day. It was rare for Third Aunt and son-in-law to come back together. It was the time when they gathered together to discuss plans. It was not suitable for her to stay.
After informing Censor Xiao, he left with Xiao Baoxin.
Madam Xiao and Xiao Miaorong saw him out of the residence.”Sister-in-law…” I can’t bear to let her go, but I can’t bear to let her go.
“I’ll come back tomorrow. You should have a good chat with Third Aunt and niece-in-law.”Mrs. Xie patted Mrs. Xiao’s hand. The two sisters-in-law were really close, except for the time when they had quarreled because of Xiao Jing ‘ai.
After speaking, Madam Xie returned to the Xiao Manor with Xiao Baoxin.
On the way, Madam Xie only instructed,”Since Third Prince Xi has taken over the Xiao and Yang Families ‘affairs, you shouldn’t interfere.” After all, it was the second branch’s own business behind closed doors. If everything was done by son-in-law Xie, it would seem that the Xie family was bullying others.”
“I think your second uncle has a lot of things to do. It’s fine if he does it well, but if he doesn’t do it well, he might even complain.”
“I know.” “I don’t care about Second Lady’s business.” Xiao Baoxin said.”
“You’re right. Isn’t she the one who caused this today?”After Madam Xie finished speaking, she chanted Amitabha. “Watch your mouth. She’s already dead, so let’s not talk about her anymore…However, your second uncle is really…What a waste.”
Although she was just a woman and child in the back house, she knew that there would be no other way out.
No matter how capable Sikong Xiao was in the court, there would always be someone to take over the position of censor. It was not good to wait for Second Lord Xiao to recover. When he recovered, it wouldn’t be good to ask the succeeding censor to make room for him, right? At that time, wouldn’t he just be idle and settle one down first?
That would depend purely on luck.
Although the censor was a dirty official, he still had real power in his hands. To the Xiao family, who was from a humble family, he could only accept it happily. He was not as picky as the aristocratic families. It was very beautiful.
With Xiao Jing ‘ai’s death, Yang Shao would lose his father’s official position.
Not to mention how disgusted Madam Xiao was, Madam Xie couldn’t help but feel sorry for her.”In the future, I will have to let your father plan. Your second uncle is only in his forties.”
Xiao Baoxin only nodded in response.
It was better for her not to get involved in the matters of the elders.
“Second Uncle is just angry and anxious. He will definitely recover after a few days of careful recuperation.”
“Fortunately, my children are hardworking!” Madam Xie’s words were indeed true. However, when she said this, she couldn’t help but think of the matter of the Xie family’s daughter throwing Madam Zhou out of the Xie family. She changed the topic and said,
“But you can change your bad temper. Madam Zhou, who are you? You’re a bad egg with sores on your head and pus on your feet. Let Cai Mei find a quiet place and put a sack over her head to beat her up.. As for you making such a big fuss at your mother-in-law’s birthday banquet?”
