Chapter 303 - 303: Crazy
After beating them up, the whole family was elated. Did they still remember that Si Kong’s official position had been stripped away?
“There are rumors that the emperor is biased…”
Before long, Sikong Xiao sent someone over to urge them. Sikong Xiao led the men back to the hall. The banquet had been prepared and the banquet began.
Madam Xie also came out from the back of the house with her women. Although they were a family, there was still a great barrier between men and women. Moreover, there was still Xiao Miaorong and Xi Sanlang, who were both unmarried. They sat on the east and west sides of the hall, with a partition in the middle. Although the conversation between the two sides could be clearly seen, the faces could not be seen. In fact, they were not even very clear. No one was so shameless as to stretch their necks and look carefully.
The men placed the dishes on the table and began to drink. Only Xie Xian was not good at drinking. Sikong Xiao protected him and no one dared to pull him to drink. He drank alone.
“Eldest Brother is indeed a precious son-in-law.”
Sikong Xiao smiled.” Look at my son-in-law. He has good character, looks, and talent. Why wouldn’t I treasure him?””
Yang Shao, Xi San: It hurts.
The men’s conversation was in full swing, and they all tacitly did not talk about Sikong Xiao’s dismissal. On the women’s side, Xiao Baoxin was more miserable. Everything was fine when she was not at the table to eat, but when the food was served, she could not take it anymore just by smelling it. She barely ate a few mouthfuls and directly vomited.
In order not to disturb the mood of others, she simply returned to her original courtyard to rest. Madam Xie had been sending people to clean up the courtyard. The furniture and furnishings were not moved at all. It was almost exactly the same as before she got married.
Madam Xie was afraid that her daughter would be hungry, so she called for tea and snacks and fruits.
Coincidentally, there was a small plate of freshly plucked green plums among the fruits that were delivered. Xiao Baoxin ate them all in no time. When Madam Xie heard that her daughter liked them, she ordered someone to pluck a basket and send it over.
After eating the green plum, Xiao Baoxin fell asleep on the bed.
After an unknown period of time, the chirping of birds outside woke her up. She opened her mouth to call for Tangli to come in and serve her. In the end, Tangli walked in and pouted at the outer room.
“Second Lady is sitting outside.” She lowered her voice.
Did he come all the way here to find her?
“Where’s Third Lady?” Xiao Baoxin asked.
At this moment, Xiao Jing ‘ai walked in from outside with a half-smile on her face.””Elder Sister still feels sorry for Third Aunt.”
“Who asked Miaorong to be loved.” Xiao Baoxin laughed. As expected, there was nothing good to say when he opened his mouth. “Second Mother is already so old. She should be able to take good care of herself.”
On the surface, Xiao Baoxin said that she was old, and others only treated her as an elder daughter. However, in Xiao Jingai’s ears, he clearly heard the true meaning. He was making fun of her for living two lifetimes. She was already old, but he was still arguing with her.
She sneered. Who didn’t live for two lifetimes?
“Sister is not young anymore.”
Xiao Baoxin smiled as he watched her dress up. He combed his hair and walked to the bronze mirror to take a look. He could still see her, so he stopped messing around and tied his hair up again.
“How long have 1 slept? she asked.
“Furen has slept for almost an hour, and it’s already late.””Just now, Third Lady also came over to sit for a while. Seeing that Furen was sleeping soundly, she went to the front.””
“Then let’s go over too.” It wasn’t easy to return to her mother’s house, but it wasn’t the same for her to stay in the back house.
The master and servant started chatting as if Xiao Jing ‘ai did not exist, which made her so angry that she gritted her teeth. “Sister, I’m still here. Are you being rude to your guests?”
Xiao Baoxin glanced at her.” You’re not surnamed Xiao, so how are you considered a guest?”
“If you are a guest, why did you barge into someone else’s room without permission?”
This sentence made Xiao Jing ‘ai choke.
“Take a rest. I can’t be bothered to argue with you now.”
Xiao Baoxin took a few steps out of the room. He felt that it was a waste of time to talk to Xiao Jing ‘ai. She was curious. Didn’t Xiao Jing ‘ai feel suffocated when she looked at herself in the mirror every day?
Xiao Baoxin walked in front, followed by Mei and Tang Li, the two guardians. Xiao Jing ‘ai followed behind slowly, followed by two maids.
“Sister, it’s rare for brother-in-law to have an heir. You have to take it easy. You’re walking so fast. If you lose your balance and trip over something, it’ll be Sister’s fault.”
These words were ear-piercing, but Xiao Baoxin suddenly became alert. That’s right, she was pregnant, so it was better to slow down.
Of course, Xiao Jing ‘ai didn’t have any good intentions. She was sarcastic.
“Thank you for your reminder, Second Mother.” Although Xiao Baoxin slowed down his pace, he did not suppress the fire in his heart. Was it interesting to chase after someone? “If there’s nothing good between the two of us, we won’t get together. Why do you have to find trouble for yourself?”
“Am 1 unhappy?” Xiao Jing ‘ai sneered.
Yes, she was unhappy, but she didn’t want Xiao Baoxin to be happy!
Why?
” I’m not as proud as my sister. I married into the Xie family and immediately got pregnant with my sick husband. 1 was pampered by the whole family.”
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Baoxin slapped him with a backhand, his eyes sharp.
“Watch your mouth.” What sick ghost? She hated hearing this the most!
Xiao Jing ‘ai never dreamed that Xiao Baoxin would directly beat someone up in front of the servants, and it was even when he was congratulating Sikong Xiao on his birthday. Was Xiao Baoxin so lawless now?
“You dare to hit me?” Xiao Jing ‘ai covered her burning face in disbelief.
Xiao Baoxin’s pretty face was as cold as ice.””If you dare to talk nonsense again, do you believe that I won’t tear your mouth?”
“Back then, you were the one who took a fancy to Yang Shao and did everything you could to marry him, saying that your heart was as you wished. Now that you’re unhappy, you’re blaming heaven and earth and causing trouble for others? These are all your own choices. You can bear the results yourself. No one deserves to be chased by you!”
“Furen, you are pregnant so don’t stretch yourself. If you need it, let this servant do it.”Youmei was loyal and remembered her husband’s instructions before he left. Be careful of the madam’s body, be safe and slow.
It was better to let her do the rough work of beating people up.
Xiao Jing ‘ai was furious when she heard that. The three of them were using their kung fu to bully others. What was going on? They were even threatening him!
“What, you’re putting on a show and protecting Xie Xian in front of outsiders?!”
“Could it be that you didn’t judge the situation and deliberately used Xie Xian to protect the Xiao Family, which was why you abandoned Yang Shao and chose Xie Xian?”Xiao Jing ‘ai was flustered and exasperated. They were all thousand-year-old foxes. Why were they pretending to be gods and ghosts here? Who was more noble than who?
“If you didn’t know that Xie Xian was able to influence the current situation, would you have chosen a sick ghost who didn’t have many years left to live? Now you’re pretending to be loyal in front of me-”
“Xiao Jing ‘ai! Shut up!” A man rushed out from the corner of the pagoda tree and pulled Xiao Jing ‘ai back.. “I think you’re crazy!”
