Sikong Xiao was relieved and chased them back.
“Listen to your mother, we’re at home. It’ll be fine as long as the fever subsides. Hurry up and go back. Don’t let others pick on you.”
Xiao Baoxin touched Xiao Baoshu’s head. Sure enough, his fever had subsided, and he didn’t talk so much nonsense in his heart.
After all, she was now a daughter-in-law of the Xie family. It was already unruly enough for her to run to her maternal family on the second day of marriage and let outsiders see her. If she stayed at her maternal family’s house, where would the Xie family be?
He returned to the Xie residence with Xie Xian. Before he left, he instructed Madam Xie,”If anything happens, you must inform me immediately.”
“There won’t be a relapse. Don’t worry.”Madam Xie walked out, but Xie Xian stopped her. She did not insist and went back to the house to see her son.
Xie Xian turned around and bid farewell to Sikong Xiao,”I’ll come over with Xiao tomorrow.””
Seeing his hesitation, Sikong Xiao sighed,””! was reckless today. It’s all thanks to my son-in-law. We’re all family. There’s no harm in talking.”
“Please forgive your words, father-in-law.” Xie Xian lowered his voice.”Father-in-law, why don’t you send a memorial to the palace asking for forgiveness?”
Sikong Xiao was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
“You should apologize. 1’11 write it immediately. I’m too busy today.”
Although Xie Xian saw that Sikong Xiao didn’t understand his true intentions, since he had listened to his suggestion, he didn’t make his words so clear. Sikong Xiao was honest and sincere. He truly felt that his family had made a mistake, so there was no need to explain it clearly. It would insult Sikong Xiao’s sincerity.
Actually, the number of mistakes the Xiao family had made was not the main point. The Emperor would not really pursue the matter because of this.
The important thing was to express the Xiao family’s attitude, give Emperor Yu Heng a way out, and also give the Xu family face.
However, the already passive situation was now even worse. They had never thought that Xu Liu Niangzi would be so fierce that the alliance between Xiao Xu and the royal family would become a variable. The situation could be said to be changing rapidly.
Xiao Baoxin and Xie Xian were on their way back to the residence when a storm started to fall from the dark sky. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled outside the carriage.
The two of them held each other’s hands and neither of them spoke.
The main reason was that Xiao Baoxin didn’t say anything.
Actually, it didn’t matter whether Xie Xian said it or not. It was all in his heart.
Along the way, Xiao Baoxin had participated in the planning and scheming of how the Xu family and Xiao family, including the Emperor, would react and how they should respond, including his advice to Sikong Xiao to submit a memorial to plead for forgiveness.
Xie Xian appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil.
The 182 ways to deal with the Wang family revolved in his mind. If he hadn’t been home, she would have listened more carefully.
In fact, politics was just that dirty.
Xie Xian wasn’t as carefree as he looked. He had many schemes in his heart. However, this was life. They were in a whirlpool. If they did not win this battle for the throne, they might not even have a hair left.
“Watch your step.” Xie Xian got out of the car and reached out to help Xiao Baoxin.
Ming Yue parked the car in front of the door and didn’t turn into the back alley. It was already late, and they already knew what they should know. None of them expected to come back so late. They probably couldn’t hide it. Moreover, Xie Xian’s body was weak, and there was no need to change cars and get drenched in the rain.
Xie Xian and Xiao Baoxin were both half-drenched in the rain. Just as they entered the house, a manservant came forward.
“His Highness Xin ‘an Prince has been waiting in Rong An Hall for a long time.”
The Xin ‘an Prince had instructed them not to disturb the elders in the family, but the servants did not dare to make their own decisions. They went to report to Mother Xie, who then sent someone to the third household to invite Third Master Xie out.
Well, sneaking out of the residence had caused a ruckus in the end.
“How long have you been here?” Xie Xian asked.
“An hour.”
Xie Xian waved his hand and did not delay any further. He changed his clothes and went to the hall.
After Imperial Concubine Liu died, King Xin ‘an’s entire person sank down. He was handsome and calm, and he was able to freely exchange blows with Chancellor Xie.
“There was an urgent matter at home that made the sixth king wait.”Xie Xian came in to apologize first.
The King of Xin ‘an stood up and welcomed him with a smile. When Xiao Wang learned that Chang Shi was newly married, he should have come to ask for a cup of wedding wine. However, Aunt Little Wang had just passed away, so it was inconvenient for her to come. Today was a free day, so she came to ask for a cup of wine.”
Chancellor Xie:” Since Xuanhui has returned and is accompanying me, 1 will take my leave first and not disturb the gathering of the Six Great Kings and Xuanhui.””
Who was lying? He even congratulated them on their marriage. Who would come over to ask for wine and food in the heavy rain? She just didn’t want him around. Did she really think that he was willing to get involved in those trivial matters?
When Chancellor Xie returned to the third household, he couldn’t help but complain to Madam Wang,”
“All Lang is getting more and more unreliable. He actually brought his wife out on the second day of his wedding. What would it look like if word got out? He was born in a poor family and didn’t understand the rules. He didn’t know how to be lawless? She’s so lustful that she’s really embarrassing the Xie family.”
Madam Wang sneered.” Ah Lang can’t be blamed for this. The Xiao family has such a big incident. If they don’t go back, they will be said to be cold.” In the end, the Xiao family could not do it.”
“What’s wrong with the Xiao family?” When Chancellor Xie heard that there were melons, he hurriedly sat down.
Among the maids in the room, Madam Wang said without any fear,””Yesterday, the Xiao family’s young master and Xu Liu Niangzi were discovered in a private meeting at Waguan Temple. When they returned to the Xu residence, Xu Liu Niangzi hanged herself in the middle of the night.”
Chancellor Xie was bewildered,” The Sixth Lady of the Xu Family-wasn’t she betrothed to Xin ‘an King?”
He was now connected to the sudden arrival of Xin ‘an King.
How could Xin An Prince come to congratulate Xie Xian on his marriage? He probably had other intentions.
It’s not Xie Xian’s fault to settle accounts after the autumn.
“Your Wang Clan has made a move?” Chancellor Xie wasn’t stupid, whoever benefited would be the suspect. “This is a little insulting. A ten-year-old lady…”
Madam Wang wished she could kill him with a single glance. Who else would say that? Who would put sh * t plates on their own heads?
“Don’t talk nonsense about our Wang family. Sixth Lady Xu and Xiao Lang were both descendants of high-ranking officials, and the Xu family was also an aristocratic family. Did you think that our Wang family could cover the sky with one hand and allow anyone to meet in private? He could kill whoever he wanted. Is there anyone else who said it like you?”
Chancellor Xie also reacted. He was on the crown prince’s side.
However, the Wang Clan was truly ruthless. The moment they made their move, they went all out and broke the alliance that the Emperor had painstakingly formed.
However, he had thought it through. Second Xie would stand on the Crown Prince’s side, and Xie Xian would stand on the Xin An Prince’s side. No matter which side won, he would be in an invincible position, and no one would treat him badly.
“Let me tell you…” Chancellor Xie belatedly chased out all the maids in the room.
” You’re married to me, and we’re a family.” Don’t get too involved in this matter. It has nothing to do with us. This is a fight between immortals. It won’t affect us. Stay far away from everything and don’t get close.”
Madam Wang nodded in agreement. It was rare for him to be so clear-headed. She was afraid that he would blindly interfere and get her involved..
