Chapter 308 - 308: 308 Caught with the Stolen Goods

Translator: 549690339

What Xie Xian really cared about was not the ‘sick ghost’ mentioned by Xiao Second Lady, who abandoned Yang Shao for him in order to gain power–although the term ‘sick ghost’ was indeed harsh and hateful.

What he cared about was what Second Lady Xiao said about ‘protecting the Xiao family’.

The Xiao family was at the height of their power. Even if they were involved in the battle for the crown prince, they would not be safe. Moreover, the Xiao family was on the same side. Even if they were defeated, the two families would end up the same.

The marriage between the Xiao and Xie families was clearly before the death of Noble Consort Liu. At least the Emperor did not reveal any intention of changing the heir.

He often accompanied the Emperor, so the Emperor would not hide this from him. He would definitely try everything possible to rope him in to carry the sedan chair for Xin ‘an King. There was no way he could directly talk to Sikong Xiao.

However, Second Lady Xiao’s words clearly revealed the possibility of the Xie family’s downfall.

Who gave her such a feeling?

Or perhaps someone had given the Xiao family such a feeling. At least when Second Lady Xiao said these words hysterically, Xiao Baoxin’s reaction was more like he was angry that Second Lady Xiao had made these words out in public, rather than crazily talking about the direction of the Xiao family.

Although Xiao Baoxin wanted to be honest with him, she did not explain the Xiao family’s intentions. She wanted to explain her own feelings to him, to show that she did not have any schemes against him.

That was all.

She did not intend to be honest with him.

.. Damn, is this even human?

Xiao Baoxin heard Xie Xian’s intentions and broke out in a cold sweat. Just a sentence from Xiao Jing ‘ai was enough for him to find out all this. She was sincerely convinced. It was almost the same as his talent.

The main reason was that he didn’t even need to use his hands. He just used his brain to push it out.

Did it have to be so terrifying?

He had come to such a conclusion with just two sentences. If he let Xiao Jing ‘ai blabber on, it was likely that a chaotic world was coming. They did not even need to explain in detail about the love and hate in their previous lives. They had seen through everything in just a few sentences.

What she thought he cared about, he didn’t care at all. Instead, he was paying attention to the core of the problem.

However, even though she had let Xie Xie see it, she couldn’t continue the topic. She couldn’t say this. If she said it clearly, she would have to bring up the matter of her previous life, including her innate skill.

In addition to the love and hatred with Yang Shao, just thinking about it made his head hurt.

.. Of course, in the end, they had only been married for more than a month. She did not want to reveal all her trump cards to him.

It wasn’t that she didn’t trust him, it was just that she wasn’t as honest as he was when he stripped her naked.

If she hadn’t found out about the fall of the Xiao family from Xiao Jing ‘ai, she probably wouldn’t have mentioned this skill to anyone in her life.

The two of them laughed for a while before suddenly falling silent.

“Nora, are you really angry?” Xie Xian took the initiative to express his goodwill.

Xiao Baoxin humphed and said,”There is no such thing.””

Xie Xian smiled.” Qingqing, you used the word ‘and’ well. The beginning, the ending, the turning, and the ending are all in this word. Aiyoyo, be gentle. It hurts.””

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Baoxin had already reached out his hand, causing Xie Xian to cry out in pain.

“I’ll let you sour me again! 1 know that Minister Xie is well-educated, erudite and talented, so you’re using your talent to pick on your wife, right?”

Xie Xian begged for mercy,”! ‘didn’t.””

“You still dare to say that!” Xiao Baoxin exploded with anger. He even copied her words. He was clearly teasing her.

‘A pregnant lady is indeed not to be trifled with.’

“All, I’m so angry.” Xiao Baoxin lunged forward and bit Xie Xian on the shoulder. Xie Xian let out a scream. Before he could beg for mercy, he heard footsteps in the outer room. In the blink of an eye, two or three maids pushed open the door and entered. They all had panicked faces.

Usually, without the summons of the Lang Lord’s wife, they were not allowed to enter privately. However, things were different now. Xiao Baoxin had just gotten pregnant, so they were afraid that something would happen.

In the end, what did they see?!

“What happened? 1 heard-”

Zhilan squeezed in from behind the maids and saw Lord Lang and his wife rolling together on the couch. His wife was on top and Lord Lang was on the bottom. His hair was messy and his face was flushed. The bedding on the couch was in a mess.

Zhilan’s face instantly turned red. She raised her hand to cover her eyes and walked out.

“Grand Furen was afraid that Furen would not have an appetite, so she asked the small kitchen to make some refreshing dishes and sent this servant over…” She had come at the wrong time.

Xiao Baoxin even had the thought of dying, but Xie Xian shouted in his heart that he was saved, jumping for joy. If someone didn’t come to disrupt the situation, she would have pinched off the flesh on his waist.

He didn’t even blink when she wanted his life. However, if he wanted his meat, then it was still Empress Rong…Let’s discuss it again.

Xie Xian, who had a glib tongue, could no longer come up with a pure and appropriate excuse to explain the scene in front of him in front of all the maids. No matter how hard he tried, he could not clear his name.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Everyone, get down.” Xie Xian stood up and straightened his clothes. He was calm and composed, his expression unchanged and his heart not beating.

Xiao Baoxin was so ashamed that he wanted to die. His face was flushed red, like the sunset in the sky.

Although the situation was awkward, Xie Xian saw Xiao Baoxin’s little girl’s attitude and couldn’t help but laugh.

“You’re still laughing!” Xiao Baoxin flew into a rage out of humiliation and glared at him. If he had not deliberately angered her, she would not have lost her mind and bitten him, causing her to lose her manners in front of the maids.

The main reason was that in front of Zhilan, who was the most shameless person in front of Yi Antang’s Great Madam, the reputation that he had painstakingly built up in the Xie residence might very well be destroyed because of today’s scene.

After calling Cai Wei in to tidy up, Xiao Baoxin went to the hall next door to meet Zhilan.

She had no choice. She was too ashamed to call him into the house.

“.. Grand Madam said that even if Madam couldn’t eat, she couldn’t really not eat anything. Otherwise, not only would the adults not be able to take it, but the child’s nutrition wouldn’t be able to keep up. Even if Madam vomited after eating, she would still eat a little.”

“Grand Madam asked the kitchen to make fish porridge, refreshing radishes, stir-fried cabbage, snow cabbage, and shrimp rolls for Madam.”

When they met again, Zhilan was as usual, smiling as if she did not see the scene just now. It was not her who blushed.

“Grandmother is so thoughtful. 1 will definitely eat well.”Xiao Baoxin felt a little guilty and gave Cai Wei a look. Cai Wei stepped forward and stuffed a purse into Zhilan’s hands. The scattered silver inside was even more than the reward she received on the day of her wedding.

He was deliberately trying to shut her up.

Zhilan smiled and accepted it. If she didn’t accept it, she was afraid that others wouldn’t be at ease.”Furen, don’t worry. This servant is a child of the Xie family and has served the Xie family for several generations. I know the rules and know what I should and shouldn’t say.”

Even if she didn’t accept this silver, she wouldn’t say that she wasn’t this talkative.

“I know that you know when to retreat and when to retreat. Otherwise, Grandmother wouldn’t have valued you so much. I’m just sorry for making you come all the way here.”Xiao Baoxin was still talking to Zhilan when Madam Yuan sent someone over to deliver half a basket of green plums.

When Cai Wei sent him off, she also gave him a purse. Although the reward was not as much as Zhilan’s, it was still quite a lot.

Xiao Baoxin let out a sigh of relief after sending off the two maids. However, thinking about the scene just now still made his head burn. In the future, she had to be more vigilant. She definitely could not mess around with Xie Xian in broad daylight. If she accidentally let others see her, she would spread the news that she was ruining her reputation.

“Wifey, what delicious food did Grandmother send?”Seeing that everyone had left, Xie Xian came over. “Why aren’t you eating?”

Xiao Baoxin glared at him, but before he could say the word ‘not hungry’, he heard his stomach growling..
