“This world will never lack people who judge people with the most malicious intentions. This isn’t scary. What’s scary is that he treats this world and this person with the most malicious intentions.”
“This kind of people isn’t the vast majority, but there are quite a few.”
“As long as your heart is right and you don’t use tricks to harm others, then all the tricks and tricks you use are legitimate and feasible. Qing Qing, because I know what kind of person you are, 1 allow you to use any means.”
Xiao Baoxin was speechless for a long time.
The annoying thing about this guy was that he could laugh and joke one moment, and the next moment, he could say something that would move you. Was there such an indecent person?
“Annoying…”
Xie Xian said,”Mother, this low voice is so soft that it makes me feel numb.”‘
Xiao Baoxin snorted and snuggled in his arms, ignoring him. With his words in front of her, she felt much more confident.
Perhaps the most correct thing she had done in her life was to marry him.
“I wonder how the Xu family is doing.”Xiao Baoxin softly said. Xie Xian’s scheme could be said to have taken into account the interests of all parties, and the balance was quite good. However, there was a major prerequisite for this, which was that the Xu Clan, whose people had died, was willing to accept the goodwill of the Xiao Clan. One had to know that people often lost their rationality when they were sad and angry.
Xie Xian hugged her tightly.” Don’t worry. Minister Xu is not a muddle-headed person. There’s no reason for him to not accept it.”
###
Just as Xie Xian had expected, when Sikong Xiao carried Xiao Baoshu, who had half his leg broken, to the Xu family’s residence, Minister Xu’s anger had already subsided by half.
After all, to become a minister, not only did he rely on the Xu family and the Eldest Princess ‘face, he himself was not an idiot.
If the Xiao Family’s young master had made a mistake, their own family had made a bigger mistake. After all, the Xiao Family’s young master had also been tricked. He had not really seduced their daughter. However, the one who died was his own daughter, so he could not help but feel sad and disappointed.
It was a good move, but it was ruined.
As soon as Sikong Xiao proposed marriage, Minister Xu almost jumped up from his chair. This was not in-laws, this was a benefactor.
Although Minister Xu did not dote on his daughter and put his interests first, she was still his daughter. She died so miserably and could not even enter the ancestral grave. The Xiao family’s proposal was undoubtedly to arrange a backup plan for her daughter. Even the benefits of the previous dynasty were included.
Minister Xu immediately slapped the board and informed Mrs. Zhong to quickly find a matchmaker and officially take the marriage.
Mrs. Zhong hated the heavens and the earth and the air. Xiao Baoshu was even more resentful. Even though Minister Xu tried to persuade her repeatedly, she still could not untie the knot. Sixth Lady Xu was her most beloved daughter. She was obedient, sensible, and understanding. All the beautiful words in the world could not be used to describe her daughter. However, she died in such a disgraceful way…
Today, when she heard that Xiao Baoshu wanted to marry her, she started to cry.
She felt wronged and sad, but deep down, she could not help but heave a sigh of relief. At least her daughter had a place to go after her death and would not become a lonely ghost. How could she slack off at all? His head didn’t hurt anymore, his legs weren’t sore, and he wasn’t hungry even if he didn’t eat. He sent his trusted aide to do it. In less than two hours, the matchmaker was invited.
In the past, there was only one type of matchmaker who went through the path of in-laws. However, Daliang had never advocated in-laws, so the matchmaker was gradually added to the mix. This matchmaker was proficient in all aspects of in-laws. In less than an hour, she had written the in-laws document and listed all the preparations. The two families then went back to prepare.
It was the same as a living person’s marriage. Both the man and the woman also exchanged their birth characters, accepted the recruitment, asked about their luck, and a series of pre-marital preparations.
On the day of the actual wedding, the man would carry the coffin into the ground.
Because Sikong Xiao was born in Jingling, although there were only his father’s generation, there was no ancestral grave other than the war bones buried in the wasteland every year during the chaos of the world. Jingling could also be considered as the ancestral grave of the Xiao family. These few years Sikong Xiao had gained power, and he had also repaired his father’s grave on a considerable scale.
The news of the marriage spread throughout Jiankang City, causing an uproar.
They didn’t expect things to turn around like this.
To be honest, it was a good thing that Xu Liu Niangzi’s fragrant soul had a place to go. Those who had intentions would inevitably look at it from the perspective of the interests of the court. That was the alliance of these two families. They did not want to break this alliance even if they died. They said that Sikong Xiao had even sold his son for benefits. It was vanity. Hence, she brought up her background. A poor family was not presentable. In order to climb up the ladder, her daughter stretched her neck and used her face to climb up the Xie family. Her son was sold to the Xu family, who was also an aristocratic family and was related to the emperor…
He had no place to listen to those words and was extremely embarrassed.
On the other hand, when Emperor Yu Heng heard about it the next day, the grievance in his throat that he could not swallow or spit out slowly eased.
Immediately, he called Xie Xian into the palace. What marriage or not? He gave him four days of fake beauty. He really thought that he was in a comfortable nest and was unwilling to come out.
“This was my beloved minister’s idea.” Emperor Epsilon was smiling. Wei Desheng had never seen him smile like this since the death of Noble Consort Liu.
As expected, one could not see the rainbow without seeing the wind and rain. Previously, Emperor Yu Heng had been too smooth and did not feel aggrieved.
This time, there were many grievances. Occasionally, there was a good thing that made him happy!
“You are truly my think tank. You finally saved a city for me. Otherwise, it would really make me feel aggrieved and angry.”He raised his cup and drank a cup of cold tea. “Awesome!”
“The Wang family has completely defeated Zhen. They want to completely fall out with Zhen.”
The problem was that if the other party didn’t tear it, you would tear it too. It was better to make the first move.
Xie Xian said indifferently,”This is not all my credit. If it wasn’t for the Xiao Family’s Young Master…”
“Your brother-in-law?”
” Yes.” Xie Xianxian sighed.” I think the Emperor knows that Sikong Xiao broke my legs in anger.” Xiao Lang was also extremely guilty. He had a fever and almost died.”
“Yes, you even asked Imperial Physician Wei’s family’s treasure to help.”Emperor Yu Heng’s words were filled with jealousy. That old man didn’t even give face to the royal family. Unless he was critically ill, he would always say that he was ill.
Back then, when he heard this rumor, he was jealous.
“It’s all thanks to Old Mr. Wei that I’m still running a high fever. When he woke up later, he felt deeply guilty and wished that he could do something for the Sixth Lady of the Xu Family. It was a sudden idea, and Xiao Lang agreed immediately, which was very righteous.”
“I knew it. Xiao Xiaolang is always playing with cats. He’s just a child.” Emperor Yu Heng sighed. The younger the mischievous child, the easier it was for him to become successful and the more loyal he was. She had the heart of a pure child and did not have so many bad intentions.”
Ever since Xiao Xiaolang solved the emperor’s problem, even his problems had become advantages, and his shortcomings had become advantages.
“No matter what, I still have to rely on your glib tongue, dear minister.”
These words were so sweet that even Wei Desheng’s mouth turned sour.
Xie Xian was as if he had no taste at all. His expression did not change and his heart did not beat.”This is my duty..”
