Xiao Baoshu cried out in pain.
“I know, I know. Sister, please spare me!”
Why hasn’t my sister’s fiery temper changed even after she got married?’
‘What kind of life is brother-in-law living?’
Brother-in-law is truly in love with my sister.’
If it were him, he would probably rather stay at the border permanently and swear not to return to the capital.
Now, his nephew was still young and could not feel his mother’s surging maternal love and love. What about when he grew up…She was worried about her little nephew’s future.
Xiao Baoshu was worried. He had angered Xiao Baoxin. He was being beaten up, yet he still had the heart to worry about this and sympathize with that. It seemed that his methods were not up to the mark. As expected, after giving birth, she inevitably became soft-hearted.
“Mind your own business!” Xiao Baoxin said hatefully.
Xiao Baoshu agreed unconditionally.” Okay, okay, okay. I’ll listen to Sister. Let go of me now, okay?””
He was also very helpless, alright?
Was he stupid?
Of course, he wouldn’t be stupid. If he could win every battle in the chaos of the world, of course, he would occasionally lose a little. A small defeat was nothing. People had to grow from setbacks.
Now that the Xiao Family had made contributions from the dragon, the bricks that belonged to the pillar needed to be moved wherever they went. When a person became irreplaceable, his status would naturally be unmatched by others. Xiao Baoshan was the provincial governor, not just in name, but in actual fact, he was in charge of the army. His daughter married into the noble Xie family…Brother-in-lawXie Xian was also under one person, and his power was overwhelming.
Not to mention him, Xiao Baoshu. He went to the battlefield to kill enemies at the age of fourteen and made outstanding military achievements. After marrying the Eldest Princess, his family background was immediately different. He wished that he could fart and be the center of attention.
The situation in Daliang was different from before, and even from a year ago.
The world was in chaos, and many royal families and aristocratic families were involved. Countless people fell, some died on their own, and some were taken down by Xie Xian. The aristocratic families were no longer the same as before, and the imperial court even placed more importance on the common people than it did when Emperor Yu Heng was still in power.
The saying from more than ten years ago,” If you don’t fall off the car, you will be a writer. If you fall off the car, you will be a secretary.”
Even though many important positions in the court were still held by aristocratic families and nobles, most of them were figureheads. What they usually did was to sign a document. When it was truly implemented, the real power was below.
All these factors added up to cause the Xie and Xiao Families to forcefully enter the people’s field of vision, as if they were placed on fire.
.. Did he need to be popular?
That was definitely not necessary.
If he didn’t destroy 30 – 40% of the glorious history of Sikong Manor, wouldn’t he become the target of public criticism?
But how could he tell his sister about this?
Was it intentional?
Most of the time, he heard that the Emperor was dissatisfied with a family and wanted to teach them a lesson or beat them up. He would attack them and kill the rabbit while he was at it. He would get rid of that kind of person and maintain his character.
Would his sister believe him? She might be lying to him.
Of course, it was also a very satisfying thing to let go of one’s nature, and it was especially easy for him to do it.
“Sister, there are some things that you don’t understand.”Xiao Baoshu was finally released. He rubbed his almost broken arm and said earnestly, “Since you’re married, you should focus on taking care of your husband and raising your children. Don’t worry about me anymore. I’ve grown up. The results are there. You have to learn to trust your brother, right?”
Xiao Baoxin did not expect Xiao Baoshu to have such thoughts and opinions in his heart.
It could be said that she was more sensitive to politics than her father and herself. Her thoughts were also similar to Xie Xian’s.
However…They were both humans, so why did his words sound so unpleasant? “What do you mean by I don’t understand? What do you mean by taking care of your husband and raising your children in peace? Xiao Baoshu, I think you ‘re just getting beaten up lightly! “Although Xiao Baoxin was still scolding her verbally, she already had a plan in her heart. Xiao Baoshu was not playing around with her little contribution and Sikong Xiao’s prestige. She was relieved.
As long as Xiao Baoshu had a ruler in his heart, he would not be afraid of him rebelling.
Not light! Sister, look at my face. Do you know how much courage I had to muster to come out on the boat? If you hit me again, I’ll be crippled. “Xiao Baoshu was not convinced. He had never been beaten up like this on the battlefield!
He then looked at Xie Xian sympathetically, clearly expressing his concern.
Xie Xian was about to burst out laughing. His brother-in-law was meticulous despite his boorish appearance. His heart was even more meticulous than Xiao Baoxin’s. He was also more cunning than Sikong Xiao.
His brother-in-law was so slippery that no one was more at ease than him.
From his attitude towards the Prince of Huaiyang, it could be seen that he was not soft when he should be soft, but he was not hard when he should not be hard. He definitely did not kowtow when he should.
Otherwise, why would they say that this little rascal was smart? He was indeed more scheming than Xiao Baoshan, who was a scrupulous person.
“What’s with that look in your eyes!” Xiao Baoxin slapped him again.” You’re so angry.” Let me tellyou-I know you have limits, but you can’t go overboard. Don’t always think about what our family wants and risk your reputation. It’s enough. If you really offend the public and don’t show it now, what if someone holds you back on the battlefield in the future?
What are you going to do if you play tricks in the dark?”
Xiao Baoshu was stunned. He did not expect his sister to think so deeply.
Thinking about it again, it was actually reasonable. It was fine if he didn’t understand. With his brother-in-law around, he was the ancestor of scheming people. What was there that he couldn’t understand?
“I’m not worried about that. Brother-in-law is in court.”
He spoke with full confidence, as if his brother-in-law had everything under control.
“The King of Hell is easy to see, but the little devil is hard to stop.” I can stop her for a while, but I can’t stop her forever. I think Baoshu can listen to your sister’s opinion appropriately and not offend her too much.”
It was also because he could see Xiao Baoshu’s ability to cause trouble. Although there were certain external factors to consider, how much of it was his instinctive action?
It was so natural that it made people suspicious.
” Alright, since Brother-in-law said so,” Xiao Baoshu replied with a smile.
“Hurry up and get off the car and go home so that Mother won’t miss you. Remember to go to Huaiyang King’s Mansion tomorrow and apologize. Don’t offend him too much. “Xiao Baoxin knew very well that this Prince of Huaiyang wasn’t a good person who was willing to go along with the flow, nor was he a fence-sitter. Every step he took had a deeper meaning to it. Although he was defeated by Yang Shao in his previous life, he was still someone who had killed the emperor and made his own name. He was ruthless.
She was also afraid that she would force him into a corner and use underhanded tactics.
Xie Xian nodded.”
How could Xiao Baoshu withstand the joint guidance of his sister and brother- in-law? He could not help but nod his head like pounding garlic. “I understand. Actually, I just couldn’t stand Yuan Chen. What kind of person is he? How dare he say bad things about my sister in private? However, he did not rely on selling his body or relying on the King of Huaiyang.”
