Chapter 239 - 239: Suspected
Xie Xian had never treated Xiao Baoxin as an ignorant Lil ‘Miss. Regardless of whether it was the current situation or his plans, he liked to talk to her. She had heard what he was thinking, so she naturally knew what he meant.
He was worried that if she was the only one left in the future, she would not be raised into a flower in a greenhouse and would not be able to withstand a single blow.
“It’s late. Let’s rest.” Xie Xian rubbed Xiao Baoxin’s head and smiled.
“Old Master Wei’s medical skills are amazing. If he says that she’s fine, she’ll definitely be fine.”He knew that she could not let go of Xiao Baoshu, so he promised her gently.
Xiao Baoxin immediately thought of him.
“.. Then, do you usually invite Old Master Wei to watch? What did he say?”
Although he appeared to be gentle and happy on the surface, only she knew that he had always cared about his body. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so embarrassed that she would drag his weak body into everything she said.
Back then, he clearly had feelings for her, but he rejected her repeatedly. This was also the root of the problem.
His careful manner immediately made Xie Xian laugh. Was his Lady Wu afraid of hurting his fragile little heart when she looked at him like this?
“It’s nothing serious.” Xie Xian smiled, hugged her, and planted a kiss on her forehead.
Then, he pulled her to lie down on the couch.” Maybe it’s because he was born with a weak body. My father, grandfather, and even great-grandfather were all like this…Especially me. When mother was pregnant with me, she almost failed to protect me a few times, so my body was weaker than others since I was young, but it was just like this.”
“I need to recuperate for a long time. However, if my foundation is weak, it will be easy for me to attract other illnesses…”
“Old Mr. Wei is a good doctor, but I’m neither dead nor injured, so he can’t do anything about it. That’s why he doesn’t accept my consultation now.”
He chuckled softly in her ear,”Maybe he’s afraid that I’ll die too. He can’t bear to do that.”
Before he could finish speaking, he felt Xiao Baoxin’s struggling little hand come up and pinch his waist fiercely.
“Roar!”
Xie Xian was not a martyr. He was in so much pain that tears were about to fall from his eyes. She was being ruthless. One could tell how much she did not like to hear his words.
“Madam! Master Lang, did something happen?” The one who was on night duty tonight was Mei. She was the only one who was simple-minded. She was afraid that Xie Xian, who was married to her wife, would not be able to keep his body from being ruined and that something would happen to him.
The door made her slam it loudly. If no one responded, she would probably kick the door open and enter.
Xiao Baoxin glared at Xie Xian and raised his voice,”It’s nothing. Our Lord Lang saw a cockroach and was so scared that he screamed.”
Only then did Youmei stop, but she couldn’t help but curse in her heart that such a big Langjun was actually so scared by a cockroach. It was no less than the thunder outside just now. How scared was he?
“Qing Qing wants to completely destroy your husband’s image. Aren’t you afraid that the girls will laugh at you for finding a weak shrimp?”Xie Xian rubbed his waist. It was still very painful.
Xiao Baoxin rolled his eyes at him.” Who told you to spout nonsense? There will be more severe punishment next time.””She gestured with her fists.
Xie Xian raised his eyebrows. With this punch, he probably wouldn’t be able to last until his father’s age.
With Youmei’s ruckus, Xiao Baoxin’s anger also subsided. She knew that she shouldn’t have said that. Youmei was her servant girl, and she had a mouth to keep it shut. She wouldn’t go so far as to say such things. However, if it was any other matter, if it were to spread out, it would be said that it was a joke between the husband and wife. If it was not, then there would be a lot to say. It would indeed damage Xie Xian’s image.
Lying on the bed, she turned her body to block him behind her, but unexpectedly, Xie Xian followed her and immediately stuck to her.
“.. Did Sixth Lady Xu really commit suicide?”Xiao Baoxin asked the question that he had been suppressing in his heart.
She had experienced too many things today. Xiao Baoshu was almost beaten to death by Sikong Xiao, so she didn’t have time to think about it. However, when she was alone and calmed down to think about it, she couldn’t help but feel suspicious.
The death of Xu Liu Niangzi caused the alliance between Xiao Xu and Xin ‘an King to deteriorate rapidly. It could be seen that this was another great benefit for the Wang family.
They thought that it was cruel enough for Xu Liu Niangzi to be forced to marry into the Xiao family, but the matter was not that simple. When you thought that you were at the end of your rope, you thought that it was the worst outcome. No, at this time, the boat even leaked.
Xu Liu Niangzi’s death was likely to bring the relationship between the Xiao and Xu families to a freezing point.
They even joined forces to assist King Xin ‘an. It was already good enough that they did not drag him down.
“The Xin ‘an King also asked me this question before he left.”
“What do you think?” Xiao Baoxin slowly turned around and faced him.
“It doesn’t matter what I say. What matters is what the Xu family says.”Xie Xian said frankly,”Why did Sixth Lady Xu secretly run to the back of the mountain without alerting anyone? We have no way of obtaining it.” Only the heavens and the earth knew what methods the Wang family had used in the process.
However, the person involved was dead…Everything was ‘suspicious’, and there would be no final verdict.”
” It’s not realistic for the Xu family to admit something that’s ‘suspicious’. They can’t even cover up the fact that someone in their family died. Some people may be sad, but the living people have to bear the eyes and comments of the world. The safest thing for them is to shut up and not talk about it, instead of making it a public case.”
“Therefore, the Xu family’s most likely reaction is to ‘sink. Sixth Lady Xu can only commit suicide.”
“Regardless of the Xu family’s reaction to this matter, the Wang family and the Crown Prince will be the ones to benefit. If it was blown up, it would be more beneficial to their interests.”
“The only one who can use such a series of moves moves to kill two birds with one stone is the Five Soldier Minister Wang Lang.”
He was also the current head of the Wang family, the brother of Empress Wang.
Daliang’s Minister of Five Arms was not in charge of military power, but he was in charge of administration. However, he was in charge of military affairs, and Wang Lang was one of them.
“Of course, Xu Liu Niangzi’s life is gone just like that, 1 can’t comment on it. It could only be said that if she died, the Wang family would benefit more.”
No one could rule out the possibility that the Wang Clan had done something in the dark, but what was even more impossible to rule out was that Xu Liu Niangzi was so fierce that she would rather die than live in shame.
Xiao Baoxin was silent for a long time when he heard this. Indeed.
The dead were dead, but the living still had thousands of tribulations waiting in front of them.
“Go to sleep. We’ll go back tomorrow morning.” Xie Xian hugged Xiao Baoxin and comforted him softly.
Both of them were tired from the day and fell asleep in a short while.
When Xiao Baoxin woke up, it was already the morning of the next day. The sky was already bright, and Xie Xian’s figure was no longer on the bed. He called Cai Wei over to ask and found out that he had woken up very early and had gone to the study.
Cai Wei helped Xiao Baoxin to wash up, during which she kept looking at his expression, wanting to say something but hesitating.
“Madam…”
“If you have something to say, just say it.” Xiao Baoxin rubbed his forehead. He hadn’t had a good night’s rest, and his head was aching.
“This servant heard the news from the Third household that our Little Lang snatched the future princess of Xin ‘an King, Xu Liuniang, causing Xu Liuniang to commit suicide in grief and indignation…It was very unpleasant to hear the rumors in the residence..”
