Chapter 259: Provoke
Translator: 549690339
Xiao Miaorong was like a nerd, obsessed with painting and calligraphy. Nothing else could move her. She didn’t have many close friends, so no one could chat with her. She only liked to hang out with Xiao Baoxin, and mainly painted her.
Recently, she had some problems that she couldn’t make a decision about. She didn’t know which dowry girls she should bring when she married into the Xi family.
She wanted to pick a few beautiful ones so that she could share her burden when she carried a concubine in the future. She was frightened by the situation when Cai Shi gave birth, so she did not dare to have children.
Madam Xiao knew what she was thinking and scolded her harshly. Then, she arranged four dowry maids for her, each one uglier than the last.
“I really can’t stand it anymore. They’ve poisoned my aesthetic sense.”Xiao Miaorong wailed.
Xiao Baoxin laughed until he was swaying back and forth. This was a living treasure. She still didn’t know the taste of love. She was afraid that she would have to wait until she married someone before she could experience it.
Xiao Baoxin didn’t even dare to think about giving a few maids to Xie Xian to carry concubines. If Xie Xian took a few more glances, she would be very jealous. Xiao Miaorong was still young.
“Second Shen did the right thing. You will be grateful to Second Shen in the future.”
“Also, if you were me, at least for the next two years of marriage, don’t bring concubines for your husband and arrange for others to serve you.”
“Two years?” Xiao Miaorong gritted her teeth. So long?
Why was it so difficult for her to pursue freedom and an unfettered life?
“Yes, listen to me and Second Shen.”Two years. If he really had feelings for her, he should have cultivated them by now, right?
If he didn’t manage to get out after two years, even without Xiao Miaorong’s help, Xi family’s San Lang would have found him himself.
After all, she was a relative and a sister, and she had been married for more than ten years. Xiao Miaorong silently acknowledged her. Speaking of her fiance, Xiao Miaorong thought of something.
“I heard from my father that Xi San Lang became the assistant minister of the Yellow Sect. This was all thanks to Xie’s brother-in-law’s recommendation. Brother-in-law was like the sun in the sky now…Is he treating you well?”
After saying that, he carefully examined Xiao Baoxin’s face.
“Her eyes are like stars, her lips are like red paint, and she has pink cheeks. She looks very good.”
He finished answering his own questions.
“I knew that with my sister’s personality, she wouldn’t be bullied anywhere. Sister, you can only make others angry.”
Puff!
Cai Wei couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“This servant has sinned.” she said in a muffled voice.
Xiao Baoxin rolled his eyes at her, then heard Xiao Miaorong mention Xi Sanlang,””Mother told me to thank sister after seeing her. Brother-in-law must have given face to his sister, so he’s not avoiding relatives.’”
Xi Sanlang was the son of a concubine of the Xi family, and the assistant minister of the Yellow Family had always been close to the emperor. Even if he liked the Xi family and wanted to promote them, it was not up to him. Xiao Miaorong did not understand the twists and turns of officialdom, but her parents did.
“Brother-in-law is thinking about Sister so much. He must be very good to her.”
“You are so pure and innocent, so the Third Prince of the Xi family will definitely treat you well.”Xiao Baoxin patted her head, but the premise was that Xi Sanlang wasn’t a heartless person.
The two sisters chatted for a while before Xiao Baoxin went to the front to look for Madam Xie and returned to the Xiao manor. The mother and daughter were in the car, and Xiao Baoxin comforted them for a while before sending Madam Xie back to the Xiao manor. Only then did she return to the Xie manor.
These days, Xie Xian was busy with official matters. As a new official, it was inevitable that he would be busy with work. She only saw him every night when it was dark and went to the morning court before dawn. Therefore, when she said that she wanted him to practice martial arts with her, it was only a matter of words.
When Xiao Baoxin returned to the manor, he happened to catch up with Xie Shan, who was out meeting her friends. He saw Xie Shan gorgeously dressed and holding her head high. When he saw her, he could clearly see that she was raising her chin up again. Her small chest was sticking out, and her head was bent at the back of her waist.
Xiao Baoxin walked up to Xie Shan with a domineering attitude. He did not even show any sign of reaction. He rolled his eyes and wanted to continue walking. Behind him, the two maids kept their eyes on Xie Shan’s toes. They followed Xie Shan’s lead. The master pretended not to see, so they did not see either.
Xiao Baoxin sneered. Just as he was feeling uncomfortable, Erhuo was already running into him.
What did Miao Rong say about her? He was not a person who would be bullied. He always wanted to make her angry. Was he deliberately provoking her!
Isn’t it?
“Second Lady is going out?”
She couldn’t help but curse in her heart. Why did her in-laws ‘family have such an annoying Second Lady!
Xie Shan really wanted to pretend that she had heard nothing and walk over, but she was also holding back her anger. Why should she swallow it silently?
“Yes, why did you go out again and only return now? “She sneered. “You’re lucky to have married into our Xie family. The elders are generous, so don’t take yourself too seriously. You’ve been married for less than half a month, but you always run out whenever you see the sky. Since you’re married, you should abide by the rules of being a wife.”
Xiao Baoxin smiled. She liked to rampage like this. She didn’t feel guilty when she argued, and she felt satisfied.
“Aunt is right. I am indeed lucky to have married into the Xie family. The elders are generous and considerate, which allows me to live freely. However, this fate was really fate. Others might not have such a fate. Her aunt should take advantage of the moment to enjoy herself at home. Who knows what would happen if she married into her maternal family.”
The topic changed, and their eyes became sharp.
“However, no matter how free you are in your maiden family, you still have to have the etiquette you should have, so as not to be laughed at by others outside. Who am I to you? Why are you shouting about me?”
“You didn’t even greet him when you met him, let alone greet him. Our Xie Clan is a great clan, a clan of great importance, and we have always followed the rules. Aunt, you are also a young lady who is about to get married. You have to be more careful and polite. Otherwise, if she married into her in-laws ‘family, wouldn’t they say that our Xie family didn’t understand the rules?”
Xie Shan’s face turned red with anger.
” Don’t think that just because you’ve married into the Xie family, you’re arrogant-”
“I’ve always been this arrogant.” Xiao Baoxin raised his eyebrows.” Did you recognize me on the first day? Aunt, you don’t have to be angry. I won’t complain to the elders this time, but if there’s a second time, don’t blame me. The family is doing this for your own good.”
“Are you threatening me?” Xie Shan’s eyes were burning with anger. She had just lifted her leg and had yet to step over when Cai Wei, who was beside Xiao Baoxin, began to roll up her arms and sleeves. She looked a little disrespectful. Without needing Xiao Baoxin to make a move, the two girls beside her rushed over first.
Silently, she took a step back.
After being kicked into the pool by Xiao Baoxin, she had a steelyard in her heart. She knew when she couldn’t afford to offend this person.
“In terms of rules, how can I compare to the Xiao family? Sixth Lady Xu is the future princess consort, and your brother dared to covet her. In the end, he was forced to death by you. You guys are so capable that you won’t even let a dead person off. Aren’t you just trying to get close to the Xu family?”
“It’s the Xie family and the Xu family. I don’t think there’s anyone like the Xiao family in the entire Jiankang City. In order to climb up, you don’t even care about your face..”
