Chapter 395 - 395: Common Enemy
Madam Xie’s eyes were half closed, but she couldn’t see through Princess Anji. As a woman, she had lived a promiscuous life. Back then, during the Eldest Princess ‘birthday, she had used the name of Princess Xuancheng to deceive Xiao Baoxin and tried to ruin his reputation.
Even her own brother-in-law had gone all out. If not for Xiao Baoxin’s bold skills and martial arts, Princess Anji would have succeeded.
He wanted to trap her to death.
He had been thrown out of the city by the previous emperor, but who would have thought that this fellow would take advantage of the chaos to come back and court death.
.. I think she must have offended our family. Otherwise, why didn’t she hit anyone but your car the moment she came back?”Madam Xie’s mouth was dry from talking. Only after confirming that Xiao Baoxin was safe and sound did she have the time to raise a cup of tea and drink it in one gulp.
“This time, what do you mean it can’t be good? Your father and brother are both fighting outside and working hard for the court. Your son-in-law is also working for the emperor and is doing his best. If the emperor doesn’t punish Princess Anji properly, it won’t do.”
“I told your second aunt that we can’t be afraid of this.”
Xiao Baoxin quickly comforted her,”Mother, calm down. No one said that you should be afraid.” Xuan Hui also said that he wanted Princess Anji to pay the price.”
That s for sure.” Madam Xie was completely assured of Xie Xian.” Your son-in-law dotes on you. He will definitely not let you suffer.” I can rest assured that he will do his job. In the future, don’t go out randomly. Just stay in the Xie residence. In the future, when you miss your mother, ask the maid to pass a message to you that your mother will come to see you.”
Your current body is different from before, so you must be careful.”
After chatting with Xiao Baoxin for a while, he didn’t wait for Madam Yuan to come to the door this time. He went with Xiao Baoxin to pay his respects to Mother Xie. After a few attempts of rejection, he couldn’t refuse, so he asked Mother Xie to stay for dinner.
During the national mourning period, we are not allowed to drink and have fun, but there is no saying that we can’t entertain the in-law’s wife. It’s rare to get together in one place, let’s sit together and chat.”
As Mother Xie spoke, she turned to Xiao Baoxin.
” No wonder in-law rushed over in such a hurry. Last night, I heard Ah Xiao’s side shouting that his stomach was hurting and that he was hit by a carriage. My head buzzed and I almost fainted.”
“Yes, it took Grand madam a long time to get up. It’s better to send this servant over to scout the path.”Zhilan interrupted.
Lady Yuan was still traumatized,”Zhilan is so considerate. At this time, you still know how to find a maid to go to my temple to inform me.” Even my heart is beating fast. Fortunately, our Xiao is lucky, otherwise.,.1 really don’t dare to imagine.”
She was too embarrassed to say that she had been so scared last night that she did not dare to sleep.
It wasn’t easy for her son to have an heir, but Princess Anji had knocked him down just like that. She even wanted to strangle Princess Anji to death.
Madam Xie brought up the old topic again.” We must ask the Emperor to punish Princess Anji for her crimes. At this time, she is still rampaging on the streets.” This was a servant girl who knew kung fu by the Treasure Master’s side. If it was someone else, they might not have such good luck.”
Everyone naturally shared a common hatred for Princess Angie, and they were so angry that their teeth itched.
It was difficult for Princess Anji to gain the favor of others.
The two families sat together and made it clear that no one wanted to settle the matter peacefully.
Not to mention that the new emperor had yet to gain a firm foothold, he was relying on the Xiao and Xie Families. Even when the previous emperor was still around, if he dared to hurt the Xie Family, the Xie Family would never give in. Especially now, it was Princess Angie who had all the indiscretions.
Mrs. Yuan had always been tough, and Mother Xie was kind to others, but she was actually the most tough one.
The old lady wanted her face the most. She wanted the face of the Xie family. It was almost evening when Madam Xie came out of the Xie residence. She didn’t return to the Xiao manor, but went straight to Censor Xiao’s house.
Second Master Xiao was at home, so Madam Xie told her directly,” Second Uncle has to make decisions for me and Baoxin. Your brother and nephew are fighting outside, so they can’t stand up for Baoxin.”
Madam Xiao also advised,” We can’t let it go. Princess Anji is too much. Luckily, the maid beside Bao Xin knows Kung Fu. Otherwise, what would happen if she ’ bumped into Bao Xin?\'”‘
Second Old Master Xiao,”What did I say? Why did two women frame me?” “Sister-in-law, don’t worry. This isn’t just a matter of the Xie family. Brother isn’t around, but I’m still here. I can’t let my niece suffer such an undeserved disaster! “Second Master Xiao immediately expressed his stance, afraid that he would be despised by the two women if he said it too late.
Madam Xie nodded heavily. Other than being confused about Xiao Jing ais matter, she was really dedicated to the Xiao family.
“.. Just now at the government office, I heard that Jiang Xia King had captured someone and brought them to the Xu Manor. Princess Angie must have gone to the Great Chang to seek protection.”
Madam Xie exploded when she heard that.
“Isn’t the Eldest Princess sick? She had been recuperating in the Guan residence. Why did she suddenly appear when something happened to Princess Anji?”
“It was also her last time…”
Madam Xie was not willing. Only the Song family was human, but the Xiao family was not?
The Eldest Princess of Kuaiji was the most revered person among the noble ladies of Jiankang. She had been there since the founding of Daliang, like a pillar of support. No matter what happened at the top, the Eldest Princess was upright and strong. No matter which emperor she was, she would always be respected and would never go back on her word.
When the Eldest Princess was old, she no longer cared about the affairs of the court and began to be passionate about all kinds of gatherings. The noble ladies were also proud to attend the gatherings organized by the Eldest Princess.
It could be said that Xie Furen used to revere the Eldest Princess, but now she felt disgusted.
The last time Princess Anji had plotted against Xiao Baoxin, it was the Eldest Princess who had protected her.
This time, it happened again.
The aunt and niece were not compatible with her daughter, but they were the ones who caused trouble.
If Eldest Princess is still protecting Princess Anji, I will go to the Xu Manor
and have a good talk with Eldest Princess.”
Second Master Xiao could tell that Madam Xie was going all out for her daughter.
This matter is not related to the Eldest Princess. If you go, even if the Eldest Princess sees Aisao, she will at most gossip.”Second Master Xiao stroked his beard.” Don’t think too much. I’m here for you.””
Madam Xie didn’t say anything for a long time. She had nowhere to vent her anger. She knew that Second Master Xiao was right, so she nodded and agreed.
###
Emperor Yong Ping’s position was clear. He wanted to punish Princess Anji severely. It was not that Prince Jiang Xia could not see it. The problem was that the Eldest Princess had suddenly appeared and stood in his way. This matter was tricky.
It was still unclear what the new Emperor’s attitude towards the Eldest Princess was. At least in the past, Noble Consort Liu and the Eldest Princess were quite unhappy because of Princess Xuancheng’s matter.
However, no one could ignore the Eldest Princess’s status in Jiankang..
