She said that she was going to bring Madam Xie over, but Madam Cai had also returned with her child. How could a mother-in-law go to her son-in-lawâs house and leave her daughter-in-law and grandchildren at home? The entire family moved into the Xie family.
However, Mrs. Caiâs illness had a relapse, and there were two pregnant women in the Xie residence. It was not good for her to show up. She had been staying in the Yi An Hallâs side room for the past few days and had not gone out. The two children were all taken care of by Madam Xie.
Staying at the in-laws âhouse was not as comfortable as staying at home. When Madam Xie heard that the Central Army had won, she said goodbye to Mother Xie and brought her family back to the Xiao Manor.
It was like a bird that had flown out of its cage. Its expression was simply too jubilant.
Sister-in-lawâs illness still hasnât recovered? Do you want me to get a doctor to take a look?â Xie Xian asked.
Xiao Baoxin sighed. She couldnât say for sure.
âIâve also looked for the imperial physician. Hearing Ah Niangâs words, she suspected that Ah Sao was frightened and wanted to find a monk in the temple to take a look and recite scriptures to dispel her doubts. However, it had been chaotic recently. When he sent people to look for them, more than half of the monks in the temple had run away.âShe felt helpless.â Thatâs why weâre dragging it out like this. Fortunately, we won now. It will be better in the future, right?â
This was an emergency.
âThen Iâll think of a way to see if I can find an accomplished monk to show to sister-in-law in the next few days.ââ
The two of them talked as they ate. It didnât take long for the food to be finished.
These few days, with the army at the gates, the Emperor did not have the leisure to watch Xie Xian eat. If it wasnât for the fact that the imperial kitchen did not dare to neglect, the officials who stayed over daily would probably not even be able to eat.
Emperor Yong Pingâs mouth had sores, and the pieces were about to form a large patch. He was in no mood to eat, so he naturally did not pay attention to these ministers.
Xie Xianâs nourishing soup was already an old almanac.
Xiao Baoxin talked about the children in the residence who had eaten bad stomachs.âYouâre still young. Youâre much better today. However, Twelfth Auntâs Ah Huanâs body had not yet recovered. It took a few days for the temperature to drop.â
What she didnât say was that Lady Twelve was crying so much that she was so thin that she looked disfigured.
âImperial Physician Liu is better at treating my sonâs illness. Tomorrow, I will ask Qingfeng to bring Ah Huan over to take a look.â
After chatting about family matters for a while, Xie Xian finished his meal. He was so tired that he didnât even want to get up.
âYou must be exhausted these past few days, right?â Xiao Baoxin kneeled behind him and pinched his shoulder. Before he could do it a second time, Xie Xian suddenly turned around.
âAncestor, donât you know that youâre pregnant? What are you kneeling for? Get up quickly!â
Xiao Baoxin was shocked.
Before she could react, Xie Xian had already grabbed her arm and pushed her down, causing her to sit on the ground.
She was completely stunned. She had never thought that Xie Xian would be so agile. His speed was almost as fast as lightning, refreshing her knowledge.
She was still thinking that if it wasnât for me, she would be like Lady Twelve. Her motherly love would definitely be overflowing, and her heart would be so soft that she would be muddle-headed.
However, when she thought of this âZhenâ, who was in her forties, her motherly love was like a bag that had been stabbed and could not be let out. No matter how he thought about it, it was awkward.
It was indeed her son. They were fated to be together for two lifetimes. Ordinary people did not have such a big karma.
However, she couldnât help but feel awkward. At this moment, Xie Xian pounced on her.
âIâm fine.â Xiao Baoxin was stunned. She was still digesting the shock that Xie Xian had given her. âArenât you tired?â
âIâm tired, but I donât need youâ
Xie Xian frowned as he watched Xiao Baoxin retreat from his embrace. He had a strange feeling in his heart. Ever since he returned to the residence, she seemed to have been trying to avoid his intimacy.

Xiao Baoxin was convinced. In such a short period of time, he could tell that there would be good days in the future?
âIf you donât use me, who do you plan to use?â She raised her eyebrows, and there was a hint of embarrassment and anger in her eyes. âWhich maid do you want to find? Iâll let them stand in front of you and let you choose? Let you choose?â
Xie Xian was stunned.
âAre you full?â
Can you hold on?
âWith you, I dare to use a maid? You can probably chop me up with a maid.âHe smiled.
It was all his misconception. His Bao Xin was such a clingy little vixen. She was considerate to him and took care of him in all aspectsâ¦As expected, scheming against others had become a habit, and he had also started to weigh her up.
Thatâs right, her stomach was even bigger now, and he couldnât hug her from the front.
â But,â he said,â I really donât need you. Iâll be fine with a rest. I havenât slept well in the palace these days.ââ
He didnât need to say anything. Just by looking at his eyes, Xiao Baoxin could tell that his heart ached.âAre you still busy these few days?â
âI donât have to stay in the palace like I did a few days ago, but there are many trivial matters, and I still have to reward them according to their merits.ââThe key to victory this time is Yang Shaoâ¦â Xie Xian muttered to himself for a long while before saying.
In reality, this was his plan and he handed it over to Yang Shao to execute.
Yang Shao completed it well, just as he had expected.
Emperor Yong Ping was overjoyed. Before he even issued the decree, he had already personally promised to be conferred an official title and immediately conferred the title of Marquis of Xiyang County. Although he was discussing with Xie Xian behind his back, he had the intention to let Yang Shao lead the Stone Garrison.
Obviously, he did not want to trap Yang Shao in the palace. He should be in the wider Stone Cityâ¦Not only the emperor, but the entire dynasty.
Stone City was the gatehouse of Jiankang, the most important barrier. Yang Shao of the Central Guard Army was the most suitable candidate.
If nothing unexpected happened, the imperial edict would be issued tomorrow.
Even if others didnât say it, Xie Xian felt that Xiao Baoxin at least wanted to know about this news. She had always been very wary of Yang Shao.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Baoxinâs beautiful face frowned.
As a husband, this man was a scumbag, but he had to admit that he did have some real skills. Otherwise, Xiao Jing âai would not have been able to work so hard. He still had such achievements today. How tenacious his vitality was and how self-improving he was.
âIâm fine.â
Xie Xian patted Xiao Baoxinâs hand, knowing what she was worried about.ââThings are different now compared to my previous life.â
He had the ability to support him up, so he naturally had the means to get him down.
However, he didnât say it explicitly.
Xiao Baoxin should have understood. His hands were clasped together.
The present is different from the past, the present is troubled by internal and external troubles, not the time to suppress dissidents. They should help each other and stabilize the situation in Daliang. Yang Shao naturally understands this.â
âIâm not afraid that he doesnât understand. Iâm just afraid that he understands too much.â
He knew how to lie low and wait for an opportunity to move.
It was difficult for her to believe that someone who knew that he would change dynasties and become the ruler of a country would be able to settle down and be an assistant minister for the rest of his life.
Especially for an ambitious man who wanted to make a name for himself, it was no different from castration, right?
