Chapter 566 - 566: Unrelenting
The only thing Cai cared about was not to let her mother-in-law implicate her because of Cai Yuanshi’s stupidity.
It was rare for her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to have a harmonious relationship. She did not want to make herself uncomfortable because of her family.
■Tm relieved to hear that the eldest lady is fine. Otherwise…Although she’s not my biological mother, I’m still surnamed Cai after all. How can I have the face to meet my eldest wife?”
“Don’t overthink it. You’re you, and she’s her.”
Madam Xie was a little impatient as she spoke. She was so anxious from waiting.
“Your father said that he will be questioning the secretary supervisor at the morning court today. Uh, it’s your biological father’s book. She wondered how he was doing now. Why was he still not back at noon? It’s really making me anxious.”
“Don’t worry, Mother. Father has made great military achievements and has taken the lead to protect Daliang. The Emperor knows about this. Besides, we are not to blame for this. It is only natural that Father loves his daughter.”
Madam Cai smiled bitterly.
Because Xiao Baoshan had a concubine outside, his second brother and Xiao Baoshan fought. The Xiao and Cai families were in an uproar. Everyone knew that in-laws were like enemies.
Now, Xiao Baoxin married into the Xie family and did not escape this calamity.
He was actually recruited by the Cai family.
Speaking of the Xie family, in the past hundred years, other than the Wang family of Langya, no one else could compare to them. No matter what, the mistress of the Cai family was the biological sister of the Xie family’s eldest son, Madam Yuan. They did not even protect each other, but they had actually caused such a scene.
Her mother’s humanity was quite good. She had smashed the Xie family. Did she think that the Xie family was some small family that could be bullied by others?
Even for the face of the Xie family, he would fight to the death with you, not to mention that the head of the Xie family was famous for spoiling his wife and fearing her like a tiger…
Of course, she was afraid of her wife like a tiger. In any case, she could not tell that she doted on her wife first class.
If she could be treated like this by Xiao Baoshan, she would have no regrets even if she died.
Mrs. Cai could not help but feel lonely. In the past, Xiao Baoshan had always been worried about her illness in his letters. When would she be able to return to Jiang Zhou and reunite with her husband?
But now that she was clearly in good health, his letters were getting longer and shorter. He didn’t even mention bringing her back to Jiang Zhou.
She was only thinking that her body was hers, and her children were hers. She had to raise herself well and kill him again. Her body was her capital, so she
had to save it up.
After this period of time, he would have to make other plans.
Men were like kites. If they flew too far, they would easily fly away and never return.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had their own thoughts. They sat together and ate tea, but their souls were flying away.
Madam Cai was planning to bring her children back to Jiangzhou in the future, but Madam Xie’s heart had long flown to the imperial court. She wanted to see how her Sikong was holding up for her daughter and was afraid that something would happen.

Actually, it couldn’t be called a change.
It was a shocking change.
The Imperial Capital of Yongping did not expect that Cai Qi, the secretary supervisor with good grades, would be consulted by others before he could receive the imperial edict of promotion.
The problem was that it wasn’t just one or two people who were trying to kill him.
The first to bear the brunt was Xie Xian.
It was this Xie Pushe, who feared his wife like a tiger, who had just applied for ■sick leave’ yesterday to accompany his wife in childbirth. Today, he was wearing official robes and attending court with a solemn expression. If he had not been the first to speak, the Imperial Capital of Eternal Peace would have thought that he had relied too heavily on Xie Xian, resulting in an illusion.
In the end, a loud shout came from the top of his head.
Emperor Yong Ping had never seen Xie Aiqing so stern before. No matter what, she was always calm and collected. Even if the sky collapsed, there was Gao Er to block it. Even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of her, she would not change her expression.
When Xie Xian brought him to force the coup, there was also no such thing. This was a hurdle that Emperor Yong Ping couldn’t overcome. Sometimes, he would even dream of that time. When he woke up, his body would still be covered in cold sweat. At that time, the slightest mistake would mean eternal damnation.
After hearing Xie Xian’s report, the Imperial Capital of Yong Ping couldn’t help but smack his lips.
He thought to himself, No wonder Xie Aiqing was so eager to attend the morning court session. It turned out that the secretary’s wife had bumped into Xiao Baoxin and caused him to give birth prematurely. This was not surprising. If killing someone wasn’t against the law, then Aiqing Xie would probably have hacked him with an 8o-meter-long machete.
The premise was that Xie Aiqing could move.
The capital of Yongping did not interrupt, Sikong Xiao followed suit and accused Cai Qi. He was still not strict in managing the family and allowed the slaves to commit crimes.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Imperial Censor, Xiao Yu, who had returned to court half a month ago, also read Cai Qi’s book.
It was said that if the father and son went into battle and really offended Xiao Baoxin, his in-laws and family would attack together. It was no wonder that they relied on their numbers and no one could find fault with them.
I don’t go to the other side, I’m a stranger, I’m a stranger, I’m a stranger, I’m a stranger.
You brought a servant to someone else’s house and barged into their house, and you even knocked into a pregnant woman and turned her into a pregnant woman. Anyone with some guts would not be able to tolerate it, let alone Xie Xian, who doted on his wife excessively.
Amongst these people, Xie Xian was the most ruthless, and the beatings recorded in the memorial were also the most unforgiving. They confronted each other on the spot, not giving any face at all.
Cai Qi flew into a rage out of humiliation, his square face turning purple-red.
The position of the chief justice was about to fly away.
Even if it was him, he had long known the Emperor’s intentions, but he had no choice but to be wary of Xie Xian. If Xie Xian was really determined to stop him and did not give in, the Emperor would not go so far as to go against Xie Xian on this matter on account of his meritorious service in following the dragon. Simply put, who asked him to not have the skill to follow the dragon? It was better to send charcoal in the snow and save the emperor in times of emergency. To put it bluntly, he had saved the emperor’s life.
There must be a misunderstanding, Your Majesty.”Cai Qi knelt on the ground with a thud.” My wife is Xie Pushe’s aunt. She is his biological sister and has always been close to him. How could I have the heart to hurt him?”” Sikong Xiao said coldly,” That’s exactly what I wanted to ask. After all, the two families are relatives. Even if there’s any discord, my daughter is already ten months pregnant and is about to give birth. Why can’t we talk about it properly? Why must you let your servant commit murder and barge into the Xie Manor?””
“This is because your two families have relatives. If it was someone else s family, even if they wanted to offend you, they would have to be able to enter the residence!”
Censor Xiao followed closely behind.” Two days ago, Cai Erlang used a dog to commit murder, causing Xie Jiulang’s concubine to give birth prematurely and die from massive bleeding. The wife of the Xi family’s twelfth son had a miscarriage, so the three families made a fuss at the Jiankang order’s yamen office. Cai Erlang roared in the court and resented the Jiankang order a lot. He was beaten more than ten times. The next day, Cai Erlang’s mother and Cai Jianjun’s wife went to the Xie Mansion to make trouble. The cause and effect of this was obvious to all.”
“Supervisor Cai, may I ask if you know about this or not?!
“Supervisor Cai first connived at his son and then his wife. How can he have the face to cry out in the court that he was wronged and misunderstood?”
“It’s the father’s fault if he doesn’t educate his wife. It’s the husband’s fault if his wife isn’t virtuous!”
“This minister, Secretary and Supervisor, Cai Qi, is arrogant and despotic. He allowed his wife and servants to commit crimes and did not cultivate virtue.. Please punish him severely as a warning to others!”
