Chapter 262: Pointing Hands

Translator: 549690339

Xiao Baoxin was shocked.” When have I ever hit you, Aunt?”

Xie Shan felt an inexplicable fear in her heart when she heard her call her aunt. Just because of this address, what kind of treatment was she receiving?

“You’re being rude, Shan ’er.” Madam Wang frowned. “Mother has told you that no matter what happens or who you meet, you must not lose your manners. Why didn’t you greet sister-in-law?”

Xie Shan glanced at Madam Wang and then at Xiao Baoxin.

“Sister-in-law.” He stood up and bowed.

Xiao Baoxin stood up and returned the greeting.” Aunt, that’s right.” Aunt doesn’t like me. Actually, 1 don’t think I like her either. But we’re already family. I’m just tolerant. There might be some truths that might not sound good, but Younger Aunt…One should at least be honest. Lying was not a good habit.”

Xiao Baoxin did not sit down again. Instead, he took a step forward and faced Xie Shan directly.

If it weren’t for the fact that the entire room was filled with people from the third household, Xie Shan would have been afraid that this good-for-nothing would come up and beat her up.

“When have I ever hit you? When have I ever laid a finger on you? 1 did order people to beat up your maids, but that was because they were servants who did not care about etiquette and disregarded their status. They taught the servants a lesson on behalf of Aunt.”

“Xiao

— “You

dare say you didn’t hit me? There are so many pairs of eyes staring at me, and you still pushed me to the ground!”

Xiao Baoxin laughed.

“Is it Aunt’s bad memory, or is she deliberately framing me? How many people have I called to testify? 1 dare to confront you in front of the fair and impartial Third Aunt. It was my aunt who ran after scolding you. I was clearly afraid that my aunt would fall and wanted to pull you back so that we could have a good chat. In the end, you pushed and shouted for me to let go of you. Wasn’t the process like this?”

The two maidservants whose faces were swollen like pig heads from Cai Wei’s slaps did not wait for Madam Wang’s instructions and continued to kneel there. This was also a punishment for them not protecting their master properly, and also a warning to Xiao Baoxin.

Who knew that when Xiao Baoxin came in, it was as if he didn’t see anything. Now that Xie Shan was making a scene, she thought of these two and took a good look at them.

“Come, you all follow Second Niangzi and tell Third Shen if what I said is true.” The two maids were frightened by her beating. Xiao Baoxin’s question was like the King of Hell’s urging. He nodded his head quickly, afraid that he would be beaten up again if he returned late. It was purely a subconscious action.

“You guys!” Xie Shan angrily pointed at the two maids. The two maids only reacted at this moment and hurriedly shook their heads.

Xiao Baoxin sneered.

“Third Shen saw the reaction of these two maids, it should be able to resolve Third Shen’s doubts…”

“They’re clearly afraid of you! I was scared.” Xie Shan was not convinced. She glared at the two maids in disappointment. They were her confidants, yet they were paralyzed with fear after a slap.

“If Third Shen thinks that these two Second Niangzi’s personal maids are not enough to prove it, there were other people present at that time. You can call those people over and tell Third Shen what happened.”

Having said that, how could Madam Wang not understand that her daughter was definitely at a disadvantage, but it was impossible to have evidence.

Whether or not he had beaten her up was another matter. Xiao Baoxin was indeed arrogant. After marrying into the Xie family, he still dared to be so arrogant. After all, she was now in charge of the central treasury. Xiao Baoxin had repeatedly provoked the people in the third household. It was also very troublesome.

This matter was not only her daughter’s mistake, but her judgment was also wrong. She called the person over without any evidence, but she could not use her identity as an elder to lord it over. After all, she wasn’t his daughter-in-law, so he couldn’t do whatever he wanted.

Madam Yuan had become much calmer in the past few years. However, ever since he married his daughter-in-law, he seemed to have been stimulated and awakened. For the sake of her unreasonable daughter, she did not want to offend the hornet’s nest of the eldest branch.

“Shan ‘er, you heard your sister-in-law’s explanation. She didn’t want to hit you. Maybe you misunderstood her. Don’t be so rash in the future. You’re a proper wife of the Xie family. Don’t be petty and be generous.”Madam Wang frowned slightly.

“Also, since your sister-in-law has sternly pointed out that you don’t know etiquette, you should face this problem squarely. If you really didn’t see it, explain it properly. If you clearly saw it but pretended to ignore it, then it’s your fault. Don’t say that your sister-in-law didn’t hit you. Even if she hit you, you’d better take it. The daughter of the Wang family is not so rude.”

Xie Shan was indignant, but she had always been in awe of Madam Wang. Hearing her mother say this, she only lowered her head and did not dare to argue.

“I’m not…I really didn’t see it…”

Xiao Baoxin smiled and returned to his seat. Did she think she was stupid and dared to hit her sister-in-law for no reason?

If she didn’t have some diamonds, would she dare to take on this job?

She just didn’t expect Madam Wang to be so impatient and anxious to stand up for her daughter. She didn’t even ask her about the matter and brought her over. Did she really think that she could come and go as she pleased?

“Little Aunt, Third Aunt is right. You are a proper lady of the Xie family, and walking out of this door represents the Xie family. Even when he was walking in the manor, there were countless servants watching him. Walking and sleeping were all knowledge. He could not be willful and break his etiquette. You’re the one who’s embarrassed like that. It’s the Xie family. Don’t do it again in the future.”

Madam Wang endured it again and again. This anger was really hard to swallow.

She had been in charge of the Central Intelligence Department for a few years. When had she not had smooth sailing and been praised by everyone?

However, Xiao Baoxin had been looking for trouble with the Third household several times after marrying into the Xie family.

She had her own daughter to discipline, so why would Xiao Baoxin order her around? Where did he place her, and where did he place himself?

“Baoxin, speaking of this matter, Shan ‘er’s fault is even greater. She doesn’t have manners. Third Aunt will punish her…”

“Mother!”

Madam gritted her teeth.” Shut up!”

After accumulating strength for a long time, he was just about to scold Xiao Baoxin when Xie Shan stopped him in the middle. His aura was instantly reduced by more than half.

Xiao Baoxin could not help but laugh.” Third Aunt, what are you talking about? We are all family. How can I not hope for Second Lady?” The Second Lady knew that it was fine if she was wrong, but there was no need to call her niece over to make the Second Lady apologize.”

Madam Wang choked on her tea. She picked up the teacup and gulped it down.

After being reprimanded by her, Xie Shan became obedient this time and did not dare to interrupt.

“.. I’m not just talking about her.” The smile on Madam Wang’s face froze. She couldn’t stand the fact that she had a daughter who was a hindrance. How could her bloodline be so terrifying? She was just as stupid as her father.

There were some things that had to be said even if they had to be honest.

“You’re also in the wrong. If Second Lady does anything wrong again, you shouldn’t do it. You should know that you have martial arts on you. A pull and pull is something that ordinary people can’t withstand, let alone when you suddenly let go. Whether you did it on purpose or not, let’s not talk about it for the time being. Let’s talk about it based on the facts. It would be disrespectful to argue in front of so many servants.”

“I don’t know how the Xiao family taught you, but in the Xie family, this is a mistake.”

“Don’t blame Third Shen for speaking bluntly. We are all doing this for the good of this family. Just like how you are doing this for Second Niangzi, Third Shen is also doing this for you..”
