Xiao Jing ‘ai pretended not to see it.

If Madam Xiao did not like her, she would not like her even if she said something about it.

“Yeah, that’s why I said that my sister’s life is good.”

“It’s hard to say about fate, but Second Mother doesn’t need to be anxious. You’ve only been married for less than a month, so you will have it sooner or later.”Xiao Baoxin knew what Xiao Jing ‘ai didn’t like to hear, so he picked the things that he didn’t like to hear.

Did he think that her body would affect her fighting strength?

Was he looking for trouble with his strength? He was deliberately making people unhappy and insinuating.

Madam Xiao said to Xiao Jing ‘ai seriously,””You took a fancy to that person yourself and even begged the emperor. Now that everyone knows about it, your face will be completely swept away. In the end, it also counts as your heart. You should live a better life. Don’t quarrel every two or three days, causing the house to be restless, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to lose harmony.”

Xiao Jing ‘ai’s face turned red, and tears welled up in her eyes. Her stepmother had slapped her in the face. She had embarrassed her in front of everyone and exposed her background.

At this moment, the housekeeper came to report that Xi family’s San Lang had come to congratulate Sikong Xiao on his birthday.

This was how thoughtful he was.

Xie Xian and Yang Shao were both current sons-in-law and had already married the two young ladies of the Xiao family. Xi San was still his fiance. It was his duty to congratulate his future father-in-law on his birthday, but he could only say that he was quite good at it.

“Please come in.” Madam Xie raised her voice and turned to Madam Xiao.”This future son-in-law of yours is a thoughtful person. He won’t be wrong in the future.”

Madam Xiao’s face lit up, but she said modestly,””It’s all thanks to Xuan Hui’s good words in front of the emperor. Otherwise, such a good job wouldn’t even be his.”

One slap after another. Compared to Xi Sanlang’s care for the Xiao family, Yang Shao was not enough. Every time she did not take care of him, he would not take the initiative to come to the door. Even if he went to the door, he would not smile and welcome others.

In terms of social connections, Xiao Baoxin had social connections with the Xie family and Xiao Miaorong with the Xi family.

She married Yang Shao as a lowly wife, but the treatment she received was much worse than Xiao Baoxin’s. Even in terms of face, Xi Sanlang was much better than Yang Shao. If it wasn’t for Xiao Baoxin, who had been reborn like her, she would have suspected that she had a dream. She was suspicious of the change of dynasties in her previous life. How did Yang Shao become the emperor in his previous life?

Xiao Jing ‘ai was furious. He didn’t want to think about how the two of them got married. He had offended everyone in the Xiao family that he could offend, so someone had to be willing to talk to him, right?

Xi San first went to pay his respects to Madam Xie, but he didn’t even dare to glance at Xiao Miaorong. Instead, he went to the pile of men in the study.

“This San Lang is a man of talent, polite and restrained, not bad.”Madam Xie couldn’t help but praise him. He couldn’t be compared to her son-in-law, but he was definitely more accurate than Yang Shao.

It hurt his heart.

Xiao Jing ‘ai had been listening to this since she came back from the toilet. It had nothing to do with her, but when she heard it, it was as if she was mocking Yang Shao.

She sneered in her heart. The so-called unpresentable was just because he was not her son-in-law.

In her previous life, he was her son-in-law, but she had never said anything bad about Yang Shao.

The grapes were sour.

“Auntie, 1 haven’t had the chance to ask yet. 1 heard… Eldest Uncle beat up two assistant ministers in the palace and was punished by the Emperor.””ls Uncle alright?” Xiao Jing ‘ai asked with concern.”

Madam Xiao rolled her eyes.

Who didn’t know about this?

The entire Jiankang City had spread the news, but who would mention it in front of the wife of the person in charge? Her heart was filled with grass. Did she ask?

Was there any basic respect? It was a happy day, and it was a good day to rub salt into people’s wounds! n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Unexpectedly, Madam Xie was dumbfounded. She didn’t know about this!

Xiao Baoxin looked at his mother’s face. What else did he not understand? His mother did not know!

She even thought that her mother could handle it and see through it, so she didn’t take this official too seriously. In the end, she actually didn’t know anything. She was just short of carving the words ‘1 don’t know’ on her face. Her shocked expression couldn’t be too deep.

“What nonsense are you spouting?”Madam Xiao could also tell that her sister-in-law was kept in the dark because she didn’t ask about it out of consideration for both of their faces.

“It’s okay, Second Aunt.” “Xuanhui already told me, it’s just a matter of face.” Xiao Baoxin said with a smile. Father originally didn’t take it to heart, so he didn’t mention it to Mother…”

“That’s Sikong!” Madam Xie gritted her teeth, her face red with anger. “Third Duke, did he think it was easy for him to climb to this position? Why did he beat up two assistant ministers? He was full and had nothing better to do. Why did he hit the assistant minister?”

“There must be a reason.” Madam Xiao persuaded, and everyone nodded.

If he hit someone without a reason, he would be crazy.

Xiao Baoxin looked at Xiao Jing ‘ai, but she put on an apologetic expression that said it was an unintentional mistake and it was too late to regret. Of course, it was not directed at him. She also knew that it was no longer effective on him.

This fellow was deliberately making things difficult for others.

“Xuanhui said that Abba heard someone talking bad about him behind his back, so he couldn’t help but attack.”

Those words were indeed said by Xie Xian. Putting a green hat on his head like that, she couldn’t say anything about her chastity to her own wife. Being completely honest was not honesty, but stupidity.

However, he didn’t know his wife’s talent and ability. As long as he let her touch it, there wouldn’t be any secrets.

The secret that he had painstakingly kept was actually already known by Xiao Baoxin. However, in front of his mother and a group of people, he really could not say this. This was something that could only be said but not said. Moreover, Xiao Jing ‘ai, who was holding back her bad intentions, was still beside her. She couldn’t even say anything good about it. If she heard this, wouldn’t she be known as a bully?

“These people just can’t stand to see others doing well!”Madam Xie gritted her teeth in anger.

She had heard a lot of bad things about Xie Xian. Of course, they were all rumors from third parties. Moreover, the two families had not gotten married at that time, so she only listened to the commotion. After that, when the news of the two families getting married spread, no one spread any bad words about Xie Xian within a mile radius of her.

To be able to make her Sikong so angry that he would hit her, one could imagine that it must be extremely unpleasant.

“How did you beat him up? If the beating was light, it was not worth being dismissed.”In other words, if he wanted to beat her up, he had to make it worth the price of the ticket. Otherwise, he would suffer a loss.

Xiao Baoxin laughed so hard that his intestines were about to break. His mother had always been protective of her children.

” You’re right.” Madam Xiao finally didn’t hide anything this time and told him everything she heard.’They said that the Wang Clan had invited a royal physician. Although it was nothing serious, his back molars were kicked out and his face was swollen like a small drum. The other had her face disfigured and drugged. Half of her face was covered, and she looked extremely scary.”

Madam Xie sneered.” Serves you right. You deserve to be beaten up for gossiping.””

“That’s not all. Those two people were also dismissed from their official positions.”

Madam Xie felt that Sikong Xiao’s beating was worth it. Let’s see who would dare to talk about her son-in-law again in the future!

Her son-in-law even had a child, so he didn’t have any shortcomings!
