Chapter 242 - 242: Chess Piece
Madam Xie was stunned for a moment before she sighed.
“You’re awake.”
Xiao Baoxin almost choked to death. Did these words and this expression match? After her father broke her brother’s thigh, did her mother also want to kill her own daughter?
“Then why do you have this expression?”She could not help but ask.
Madam Xie sighed again. If it wasn’t for her daughter returning home today, she wouldn’t have been in the mood to tidy herself up. She even put on makeup and didn’t even want to wash her face.
“1 woke up in the middle of the night yesterday, but after I woke up, I chased the waiters out of the house and stayed alone. No one was allowed to enter. I went in to take a look, but he didn’t say anything either. His eyes were fixed in front of him…Could it be that he was possessed? 1 heard that there is a Taoist priest who is very spiritual. Do you want to invite him to take a look?”
He did not go to Guanwa Temple anymore, but Liu Guifei died there. Xu Liuniangzi died when she returned home. Although her son didn’t die there, it wasn’t a good thing. That place was evil, so it was better not to go there.
Madam Xie felt disgusted.
“I’ll go and take a look at Boshu.”
” Hurry up and go. He might still listen to you…” Madam Xie belatedly looked at Xie Xian. Sikong Xiao had yet to return from the court session. She wondered if the Emperor had kept the memorial of apology after he handed it in. Wasn’t this just leaving him here alive?
“Good son-in-law, how about you accompany me to drink tea?”
How was he accompanying Madam Xie to drink? It was clearly Madam Xie accompanying him, afraid that he would be neglected.
“I’ll listen to mother-in-law.” Xie Xian smiled.
Only then did Madam Xie smile a little. This kiss was a match. Her son-in-law had always placed his daughter first. From the moment he entered the door, his gaze had never left his daughter. It was not that she was blind and could not tell.
What he was worried about now was to bring out the homecoming gift. It was not enough to just have the strength. He had to use some finesse.
Without waiting for Madam Xie to speak, Xie Xian knew what was going on with a glance. He smiled and said,”This was all installed by Youmei and the guards. Just let them take it off.”
Only then did Madam Xie heave a sigh of relief. Her son-in-law was really thoughtful. How could she forget about Youmei?
“Unload the things in the car.”Xie Xian gave an order and ordered four or five people to carry out their duties. Madam Xie didn’t even see clearly how the people unloaded the goods. The goods in the cart were completely unloaded.
This was a cart full of goods?
It was piled up like a small mountain. If it was properly loaded, it could even fit two cars and turn them around.
Madam Xie grinned. No matter what, it was better for her son-in-law to have such a heart than not.
At this moment, Madam Xiao walked in slowly. Xiao Baoxin returned to the door and was about to come over to meet up. It was just that the Xiao family was not prosperous. If the family business was big, many people would come to join in the fun.
Behind her were Xiao Jing ‘ai and Xiao Miaorong, one in pink and one in blue. The pink was sweet and the blue was delicate.
” Greetings, Auntie. Hello, Brother-in-law.” The two beauties quickly bowed.
Xiao Jing ‘ai glanced at the pile of things on the ground, and a trace of disdain flashed across her eyes. It was fine to accept gifts. Which bride would not return home after marriage and pile them on the ground for who to see?
“All, this is a homecoming gift from my niece-in-law.”Mrs. Xiao was envious, but she was thinking that it would be great if her Miaorong was valued by her in-laws after she got married.
“Nephew son-in-law, you’re so thoughtful.”
Just by looking at this car gift, the couple’s relationship was very good.
Xie Xian bowed.” This is what 1 should do.””
Taking advantage of this time, Madam Xie hurriedly ordered the servants to move all the things into the warehouse. She handed the gift list to her personal maid and the group went to the hall.
“Auntie, why isn’t Sis here?”Xiao Miaorong couldn’t help but ask after not seeing Xiao Miaorong for so long.
Madam Xie smiled.” She went to see Xiao Lang.””
“Why didn’t you ask Little Lang to come out? We haven’t seen him for a long time.””Are they in Little Lang’s courtyard?” Xiao Miaorong asked. I’ll go too-” “What are you blindly trying to do? The lady lady might have something important to tell Xiao Lang, so don’t add to the mess!”Madam Xiao glared at Xiao Miaorong.
The matter of Xu Liu Niangzi and Xiao Baoshu had spread like wildfire outside the residence in just two days, but the little ladies who were not familiar with foreign affairs in the residence were still ignorant.
Madam Xiao had also heard about it from Xiao Zhongcheng last night. That night, she came to see Baoshu. At that time, he was still unconscious.
In the past, he had been restless and restless, but at that time, he lay motionless on the bed. Why did he look so miserable?
This morning, she didn’t have the time to tell Xiao Miaorong about it. As expected, this was a big club. There was no one in the world who didn’t go on a trip. He said that his legs were short in front of the dwarf, and if the dwarf didn’t want to mention anything, he would definitely nag at him.
Xiao Miaorong was an idiot who only knew how to indulge in painting and calligraphy. However, Xiao Jing ‘ai was someone who had lived once, so she immediately felt that something was wrong.
Madam Xie and Madam Xiao’s expressions did not look right. Xiao Baoshu must have caused some trouble. Otherwise, Madam Xiao’s protective personality would not have scolded her daughter harshly. Those were her eyeballs.
However, in his previous life, Xiao Baoshu was always playing with cats and dogs, causing trouble, but he really did not cause any big trouble…
What was it?
###
When Xiao Baoxin saw Xiao Baoshu, he almost burst into tears on the spot. There was no one else in the room, so he chased them out.
She lay alone on the bed, her eyes red and swollen. She looked at the curtain above her head out of focus, and her small face was terrifyingly pale.
Xiao Bao’s confidence tightened.” Baoshu.”
“Sister…” After a long while, Xiao Baoshu finally reacted. He turned his head to look at her, and before he could even take a breath, his tears had already gushed out. “Sister, 1 killed someone!”
“Because of me, that little lady of the Xu family died! I’m stupid!”
She was crying her eyes out, snot flying everywhere.
Seeing him cry, Xiao Baoxin’s heart inexplicably relaxed. It was better than him holding it in and getting sick.
“Boshu, did you hear what I said in your ear?”Xiao Baoxin wiped his tears and sniffled. He couldn’t bear to see his little brother cry so bitterly.
She had beaten him many times in the past, but he had never been bruised or even shed tears.
How much pain was in his heart now?
Xiao Baoshu sobbed, with snot and tears running down his face.”I heard you.” However, he had been muddled by the fever at that time and had heard most of it.
“But 1 think…It’s still my fault.”
“Baoshu, it is right for you to think this way. After all, your carelessness caused Xu Liuniang to commit suicide. It is good for you to feel guilty. “Xiao Baoxin wiped his tears.
“To put it bluntly, this is a political struggle. Whether it’s the Xiao family or the Xu family, it’s all a move by others.”
“It’s just that 1 need the two of you as chess pieces…lt seemed that they had been planning for a long time and finally caught the time to capture him. Not to mention you, an inexperienced young man. Even if it was someone else, 1 wouldn’t dare to say that 1 would be able to avoid it.”
“You have a heart. The real murderers are them, not you. You have to remember.”
Xiao Baoshu looked at Xiao Baoxin pitifully. Sister was just comforting him. If it was her, she would have beaten the other party up so badly that even Mother wouldn’t recognize her. She wouldn’t dare to lie to her even if she was tricked.
He could crush the other party’s liar with pure martial strength..
