Chapter 511: Finalized

Translator: 549690339 |

Censor Xiao and Madam Xiao left Sikong Manor and went straight home. On the contrary, Xiao Miaorong and Xiao Baoxin sat in a car and walked for half an hour.

Xiao Baoxin was mainly worried about Xiao Miaorong’s situation, afraid that she would be ostracized in the Xi family.

Who knew that she was overthinking it, Xiao Miaorong didn’t feel that way at

all.

… They all treat me very well. Especially San Lang…” After that, she praised Xi Shao in all sorts of ways. He was well-educated, gentle, considerate, meticulous, and reliable. In short, there were thousands of compliments in the world that were meant for her San Lang.

Xiao Baoxin: I was wrong. I shouldn’t have asked.

However, Xiao Baoxin was still very pleased that the couple could establish their relationship so quickly and immediately stick to each other.

Perhaps the Xi family had a good family style and was extremely strict with the law, or perhaps Xiao Miaorong was too careless and didn’t feel like she was being targeted. Either way, it was a good thing.

“San Lang said that although I just got married and can’t always go back to my mother’s house, afraid of people gossiping, he will often come over. San Lang also said that he would treat me well no matter what…”

Every word was ‘San Lang said.’

The corners of Xiao Baoxin’s mouth twitched, and he could not interrupt.

Zhen: Did San Lang say anything? Let auntie say less?

-Second Lady Xiao’s case is considered to be over, and Father-in-law has no intention of investigating further. It was just that the Emperor seemed to have the intention to choose one of the princesses. Every six months, he would arrange a marriage and let Yang Jingyun marry the princess.”

On the other ox-cart, Xi Shao and Xie Xian were mostly talking about matters of the imperial court.

Because Xi Shao was now the assistant minister of the Yellow Family, other than the eunuchs, the assistant minister of the Yellow Family had the most contact with the Emperor and received the news the fastest.

Xie Xian nodded. He could tell.

“Princess Lujiang?”

Xi Shao nodded.” Only Princess Xuancheng and Princess Lujiang are at the age of marriage. Then, there’s Princess Xunyang, who’s one year younger than them. It’s just that Princess Xunyang’s appearance is ordinary and her temper is strange. Princess Xuancheng, the emperor, also has the intention to marry Baoshu, so…”

Xie Xian smiled.” The Emperor has already grasped the essence of the previous Emperor at such a young age. He has learned how to rope in and balance.” It was a pity that Emperor Yu Heng knew how to plan and balance things, but in the end, he was still wrong and underestimated Empress Wang, who was strong as a mother. As a result, he was poisoned to death.

It could be seen that only scheming was not invincible.

A single force could subdue ten, and he was still helpless against those who did not care about their lives.

Xi Shao nodded in agreement and then said,””The emperor has repeatedly asked me to stay, but my ancestor has no intention to stay and has already made up his mind to leave. Presumably, the memorial for retirement will soon be approved.”

After a while, he said,

“The emperor still wants me to be the governor of Linhai.”

Xie Xian raised his eyebrows.” What do you mean?

“.. I want to go.” Xi Shao said solemnly.

Now that peace had appeared, and after the war, the people were displaced, it was a good time to make contributions.

As the son of a concubine, Xi Shao’s achievements were limited. Whether it was the family’s resources or the rule that only the legitimate son was allowed in the court, they were all extremely limited. However, Daliang was in dire straits now. He wanted to seize this opportunity to make a difference.

However, Chief Justice Xi and Minister Xi had their own considerations. Naturally, it was easier for him to do things by the emperor’s side, but he had the idea of serving the entire Xi family.

Xi Shao didn’t want to be someone else’s stepping stone for the rest of his life. Moreover, once Censor Xiao retired, he would not be able to do anything in the court. It could be imagined that his status in the Xi family would plummet. Needless to say, he was not valued as a son of a concubine. If Madam’s family could not support him, it would definitely be different from the Xiao family.

It wasn’t that the Xi family was snobbish, but this was human nature, and no one could avoid making a choice.

” Alright.” Xie Xian didn’t ask further.” I will mention it to the Emperor.””

The two of them chatted and finalized the matter.

They alighted from the cars in Changgan Lane and returned to their respective residences.

Xie Baoxin was obviously badly poisoned. His mind was filled with the words ‘San Lang’. When he saw Xie Xian, he let out a long sigh of relief and plunged into his arms for comfort. How come she never knew that Third Lady would become so…

Gentle as water?

It was hard to describe the feeling. It was hard to imagine that the person who was previously full of thoughts of giving birth to a child for her husband’s concubine would suddenly be a husband. It was as if…

‘I don’t want to eat this thing for the rest of my life. Then, I took a bite…’ It was so fragrant, the feeling of carrying away a plate.

At this point, she wanted to eat the sour grapes at home again.

..Eh?

“Third Prince Xi is going to Linhai to be the prefect?”Xiao Baoxin asked in surprise.

She seemed to have heard Xie Xian mention it before.

“Third Master Xi still wants to make a name for himself. He’s afraid that he’ll be stuck in Jiankang City and be squeezed dry by Minister Xi to serve the Xi family for the rest of his life.”Xie Xian said,

“And it’s a matter of course.”

“When?” Xiao Baoxin was a little hesitant,” Second Uncle is sick. If he leaves like this, will Third Lady feel at ease?”

“I won’t rush it. After all, it hasn’t been implemented yet.”Xie Xian said conservatively.

It wouldn’t be earlier than a month, but it shouldn’t be more than two months. When the prefect of Linhai was appointed, Emperor Yong Ping wanted Xi Shao to take over, but Xi Shao rejected him on the grounds that he was in poor health and could die at any time. He wanted his grandson to be by his side. Later on, the war broke out, and Linhai’s prefect did not change. Logically speaking, it was time to move. After all, the current Linhai prefect had been in office for more than five years. It was considered a relatively long time, and it was time to move and be promoted.

“Don’t tell father-in-law and mother-in-law yet. It’s not too late for them to talk about it themselves after the matter is settled.”he instructed.

Xiao Baoxin nodded and leaned on Xie Xian’s shoulder, his expression tired. After waiting for an entire afternoon at the Xiao family’s house, Sikong Xiao came back and ate dinner for nearly two hours. After sitting for a long time, she couldn’t take it anymore.

He didn’t know how he noticed her discomfort, but Xie Xian gently stroked her lower back. It was so comfortable that Xiao Baoxin groaned.

“Don’t make any noise.” Xie Xian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

He was able to hold on and not be tempted. However, he was afraid that people outside who did not know would overhear him. Speaking of which, his wife’s small voice was also crisp and numb, which was very pleasant to hear.

[I, Abba, make sense. Isn’t it easy for people to think wrongly?] His little heart was thumping, and he had nowhere to hide.

Xiao Baoxin was speechless and could only snort coldly in response. He was too embarrassed to say anything else.

“Father is back. I wonder when Baoshu will come back.

Sikong Xiao told him a lot about what happened to Xiao Baoshu on the battlefield. Xiao Baoxin was extremely proud and satisfied, but he still couldn’t help but think of his brother who deserved a beating.

He was used to beating her up in the past, but now he couldn’t even see her face. It was really worrying..
