Hiss!
It was Xie Xian. If it were Er Er, Xiao Baoxin would slap him. That mouth rushed straight at her, causing her teeth to hurt. Then, he felt a sweet fishy smell in his mouth. It was obvious that he had knocked on it and was bleeding.
“Damn, I think 1 used too much force!”
Xie Xian’s small hand, which had nowhere to rest, moved away from her body and slowly retreated. His handsome face retreated awkwardly and he subconsciously pursed his lips. He was in pain too.
“That… I’m sorry for my rudeness.” He didn’t know how to explain the fact that he would speak up at the slightest disagreement.
The pain made one sober up, but after waking up, it made one feel ashamed.
He was blinded by lust. To think that he had always been conceited and had extraordinary self-control. In fact, he hadn’t met Lady Xiao, his wife Qingqing.
Not only Xie Xian, but Xiao Baoxin and the other four maids who had followed him in were also dumbfounded. They had never heard of such an anxious groom. He should at least let them enter the room and close the door first. Mu Jin had one foot in the room and one foot outside the room, making her feel really awkward. She didn’t know whether she should advance or retreat, and whether she could still keep her foot.
Xiao Baoxin touched his lips and looked at his fingers, which were indeed stained with blood. This wasn’t just abrupt. It was a surprise attack. Did he want to kiss her to death?
“So, Nora also has such a time when she’s in such a hurry.”
Xie Xian’s face turned red from her words. When he looked at the bright red drop of blood on her soft hands, he felt guilty and heartache. As she thought about it, her hand went up again and touched her lips. Her heart was about to tremble.
Hibiscus quickly closed the door. If word got out, he couldn’t afford to lose face.
Xie Xian suddenly came back to his senses and immediately pulled his hand back.” Cough cough.” The banquet is still going on outside. I’ll go and greet them first. I’ll be back soon.””
Halfway through, she turned back to him.” If you’re hungry, there’s some snacks on the table. Eat some first.”
Although he didn’t think he would be delayed for so long, he couldn’t help but remind him.
“.. Also, I don’t need any maidservants. These are all chosen by Mother for you to command. If you feel that any of them are not suitable, just go to Mother.”
Xiao Baoxin nodded, indicating that he understood.
“Chang Shi is showing his loyalty to Niangzi.”Cai Wei walked forward happily, holding the account book in her arms. “This is the dowry list and personnel list that Madam gave us. Youmei and I have already matched them one by one and put them all in the warehouse in the north.”
“You have to address Madam. Wifey is already married. If you continue to address her as you like, I’m afraid that the Xie family has too many rules and will make the elders unhappy. “Tangli reminded him softly. She, Youmei, and Caiwei had been sent to the Xie family with their dowry in the afternoon. They had only been here for two hours, but these maids and old women were all well-mannered, unlike the servants of ordinary families.
They were the maids of the Xiao family, and they didn’t want to be looked down upon.
“Yes, Madam.”
Cai Wei’s heart was not set on this, so her words changed quickly.
Youmei, that blockhead, was eagerly helping Xiao Baoxin to sit down on the couch. Caiwei went to the side and squatted down to massage Xiao Baoxin’s legs, making Xiao Baoxin feel overwhelmed. How could these servant girls serve him so well after marrying into the Xie family for a day?
“This servant has heard that our constant attendant really doesn’t have a maid by her side.”
This was not the main point. Moreover, he had never had a woman before. We don’t even have concubines.” Cai Wei whispered.
Xiao Baoxin nodded.” Your skills have increased. How long have you been here? You’ve already found out.””
“Reward.”
“Thank you, Madam!” Cai Wei started to beat her legs even more vigorously,” This is just a small matter, it doesn’t matter much. Our family will only be happy to hear it, why not?””
Moreover, although the Xie family valued rules, since they had all come here, it was obvious that the new wife was extremely beautiful after marrying her. At the very least, the new wife would have the final say in this courtyard in the future. It was too late for her to surrender. It was not like she was scheming and standing on the side. Some people would not do such a thing that could be fawned on with a small mouth, but some would be willing to do it.
Especially those who had come with the dowry. These were the trusted aides of the new Madam. If Cai Wei asked, wouldn’t that give them a chance to answer first?
“The Third Mistress of the family is the Wang family of Langya. Ever since the death of Father Xie, the doctor’s heart and mind were exhausted, so he handed the management rights to Madam Wang. However, there was still the old madam at home. Sometimes, the old madam would interfere if she didn’t like it, but it was very rare.”
“Third Master Xie is Old Furen’s Di son, and Second Master Xie is a Shu son. He has always been an invisible person in the family and doesn’t like to get involved in big and small matters. The Second Mistress was the concubine of the Cai family in Jiyang and had always followed the Third Mistress.”
Xiao Baoxin nodded his head repeatedly. It would be a waste of Cai Wei’s talent if she didn’t do intelligence work. She had only been here for a short time, but she already knew everything.
“Second Master and Third Master did not agree to the marriage with our Xiao residence. It seems that they had caused quite a lot of trouble when Chang Shi rebuilt this courtyard. However, they were suppressed by Old Furen in the end…”
“Alright.” Xiao Baoxin indicated for Cai Wei to stop,” You can tell me in detail tomorrow when you are free…” Remember, you can do whatever you want in this courtyard, but you must not reach out to other houses.”
She had just married into the family, but she did not want people to catch her and think that she had big plans.
“Don’t worry, Furen. Cai Wei knows what she’s doing.”
Xiao Baoxin laughed. He was only letting her go because he knew that she knew what she was doing. Otherwise, if he didn’t have something to say in his heart, he would have to smash her mouth if he couldn’t achieve anything.
With a glance, Aomei and the others also said,”Madam, don’t worry.”
“I can’t be more at ease with all of you, but the only thing I want to warn you is that unless it’s absolutely necessary, don’t fight with the servants in the residence. All of you have martial arts, and your martial arts aren’t weak either.”
The corners of the four maids ‘mouths twitched. Did they think they were her? Didn’t they know who they were? How dare they fight in an away game?
“Pfft! Hahahahaha!” Suddenly, someone outside the window burst into laughter, startling Xiao Baoxin. He almost fell off the couch.
The four maids looked at each other. Who was so careless? They hadn’t even entered the bridal chamber yet and they were already eavesdropping on the conversation?
Wasn’t there only eavesdropping when the bride and groom were together?
“In the end, it’s Lady Xiao-no, it’s Madam Xiao now. Her thoughts are different from the other women! The wind under the forest, this is the wind under the forest, right, Xuan Hui?”
How could Xiao Baoxin not recognize Pan Shuo?
Even if she couldn’t recognize his voice, only he could say it in such a ridiculous tone.
The question was, why was Xie Xian involved here?
Why did he join in the fun and listen to his wife’s gossip? What kind of evil wind was he smoking?
Xiao Baoxin quickly walked out of the inner room and went to the main door. When she opened the door, she saw Pan Shuo and Xie Xian standing side by side. Xie Xian’s arms were bulging with something, and his handsome face was red as if it was dyed with paint. His eyes were fleeting like spring water, floating around with her as the center. She looked at him so much that she had completely forgotten that she had come out to settle scores with him.
She was so shaken that she felt as if she was holding a little rabbit in her arms..
