Chapter 869: 869-No Benefits, No Morning
Watching his own family being schemed against?
How many aristocratic families that could span several dynasties and last for a hundred years were useless?
In the imperial court, they were all people who killed without bloodshed.
Provincial Governor Xiao was a reckless person, but he had put in a lot of effort to raise his daughter. She had the attitude of a mistress of the house, and it might not be a problem for her to manage a mansion.
However, when she was placed in the palace, it was another scene.
It was obvious that after Empress Xiao’s repeated miscarriages and loss of children, her mentality had collapsed. He began to act without restraint.
Xiao Baoxin naturally wouldn’t think that Xie Xian still cared about the little bit of kinship he had with Lan Ling’s Xiao clan. Even Mother Xie was quite dissatisfied with Empress Xiao’s actions and didn’t even mention anything about Xie Xian’s help. She also didn’t ask about Empress Xiao. Her attitude couldn’t be more obvious.
Xie Xian was not that familiar with his family. He and Xie Wan had taken after Mrs. Yuan. They could do whatever they liked, but they were very cold to others.
Since he had given Empress Xiao a hand and helped her out, he must have had his own plans.
To put it bluntly, her man would not wake up early without benefits.
Xiao Baoxin tilted his head and looked at Xie Xian, smiling with starry eyes. These words were full of pejoration to others, but when used to describe her man, it was naturally different.
My man is smart, my man is good at scheming, my man is scheming, and he doesn’t lose out.
Xie Xian held back his laughter and patted her head. Her actions had already betrayed her heart, and he had seen through her.
“Hu!”
He was stuffed with dog food.
Just then, the time for an incense stick to burn was up.
” Ah Yan.” Xie Xian raised his chin slightly.” Go and copy the Buddhist scriptures that Father has copied for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.””
Xie Yan had two eight year old manservants by his side. Usually, when Xie Yan practiced martial arts, he would follow him and when he wrote, he would hone himself at the side. Even they could not take this high-intensity training. Looking at their two-and-a-half-year-old son, they felt that not everyone could be a young master of an aristocratic family. He was already so tense at such a young age.
It made them nervous.
They were personally selected by Xie Xian and there were a total of eight manservants. These two were considered the oldest and had already made it clear to them that they would be Little Lang’s trusted manservants in the future. Whatever Little Lang learned, they would learn as well. The requirement was that they could be eloquent in literature and capable in martial arts. They would be trained according to their talents in both literature and martial arts.
It was an honor. Of course, it was an honor.
His skin was tight, and that was really tight.
They were only two and a half years old. When they were two and a half years old, they were still peeing and muddy. Their snot was still floating on their mouths.
“Yes, Abba.” Xie Yan respectfully accepted the order.
She didn’t pretend with Xie Xian anymore.
He could tell that his biological father must have noticed something. Otherwise, he would not treat him like an adult. He did not hide anything when he spoke and was worried that the child would not understand what he said.
The lessons he taught were not what a two-year-old child should be learning.
Moreover, he did not just start now. He had been fully developed since he was one and a half years old. Usually, he would talk to him about conspiracies and conspiracies. He was not bragging. No matter how intelligent a child was, he could not compare to him who had an old soul. Even if his father dared to teach him, there had to be someone who could understand.
No matter how smart he was, he was still a little brat. Everything was done step by step. It was impossible to tell him everything.
However, the two of them knew what they were doing, so they didn’t expose that layer of window paper.
It was all about heartbeats and telepathy.
Not only him and his father, the three of them probably also had this consensus. It was all vaguely revealed, but no one said anything.
He really couldn’t say such words.
It was awkward.
Xie Yan had just walked into the house when Xie Qi, who had just woken up from her afternoon nap, came out with her small hands. She went straight to him and even shouted,”Brother, brother!”
She didn’t even take two steps before she fell to the ground and started crying.
She cried so sadly that it could be said that she was crying heaven and earth.
Xiao Baoxin gasped when he saw it. He couldn’t bear to watch it. He didn’t fall down. He just could cry. Nanny was so scared that her face turned green. He quickly helped her up and coaxed her.
However, the more anxious she was, the more she couldn’t coax him. Xie Qi had this ability, and she raised her voice higher and higher.
“Good,”
Xiao Baoxin didn’t want to spoil Xie Qi’s coquettishness. Just as he was about to step forward, Xie Yan had already walked up to him.”Brother, can I take you to eat some snacks? I’ve already asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite cake.”
Hearing that there was food, Xie Qi immediately shut up. She wiped her tears and snot all over Xie Yan’s body, then pulled Xie Yan’s hand and left.
“Ah Yan is very much like an elder brother.” Xie Xian nodded and smiled.
That was true.
Xiao Baoxin thought that based on his son’s age, his grandson might be older than Xie Qi.
It could be seen that Xie Yan really doted on Xie Qi. He didn’t seem to be putting on an act at all. It was just that he doted on her so much that he doted on her. This gave her a headache.
Xie Qi also knew that his elder brother doted on him, so he could bear Xie Yan and let him do whatever he wanted.
“We can’t let him spoil Ah Qi too much.” Xiao Baoxin said. This kid had been spoiling people since he was young. No matter how much he spoiled him, wouldn’t he become another Xiao Baoshu?
She was a little afraid of her own genes.
Back then, when their mother took the lead, didn’t she spoil Xiao Baoshu like this?
“Ah Qi is still so young. You don’t have to whip her so quickly.”Xie Xian’s comforting tone was obvious.” He’s just like Ah Yan. He’s trained in martial arts at the age of two and a half. If you don’t agree, you can punish him. He knows all the rules.””
“Isn’t two and a half years old young?” Xiao Baoxin hesitated.”
His older son was different. Although his body was two and a half years old, his soul was older than the two of them combined.
“Three years old then.” Xie Xian’s position was that he had no position on Xiao Baoxin.
The two of them chatted about their children and temporarily threw the dirty things in the palace to the back of their minds.
During the days when he returned to Jiankang, Xie Xian was taken care of by Mother Xie and Xiao Baoxin at home, and he started practicing his fist technique again. His days had been meritorious, and he had finally recovered the meat on his body. His complexion had improved a lot.
The chief branch of the Xie family was in the mourning period. Usually, they cut off banquets and drinking, and closed the door to live a small life. It was quite isolated from the world.
Xie Wan was getting older and older. Because she was a married daughter, she did not have to be in mourning at the Zhuge residence. Xiao Qi was born in the third generation of the Xi family, so Chu Lingzi and Xiao Miaorong could go out and socialize. They had frequent interactions with the Xie Wan family.
Yang Shao was sent out by Emperor Yong Ping to monitor the King of Jiang Xia. Emperor Yong Ping was prepared to put Zhuge Shu in an important position in Jiankang City, so he gave him the rank of a third rank casual rider. Xie Qing was given the rank of assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
The Jing state was bustling with fighting, and Emperor Yong Ping was promoting talents in the court.
