Didn’t he know how he had risen to the top?
Don’t you know how much power is in the hands of the Emperor?
Just the two princes in Jiankang City, the Prince of Huaiyang and the Prince of Jiangxia, could not be dealt with by the Imperial Capital of Yong Ping. They still needed to borrow their strength. They were thinking too much to restrain this and balance that.
However, Xie Xian felt that as an official, he should have the self-awareness of an official. It was better to keep his mouth shut.
He would let the little Emperor do whatever he wanted. He wouldn’t be able to
get out of his hands, right?
The news of Yang Shao marrying the princess was directly skipped by Xiao
Baoxin.
Although it was a matter of her previous life, she knew in her heart that Xie Xian still minded. His inner thoughts could not lie to people, so she did not have to find a sense of existence for Yang Shao. Xiao Jing ai was also dead, and the Xiao Family’s only connection with Yang Shao was also broken. Yang Shao could be with whoever he wanted. It had nothing to do with her.
Although Xie Xian didn’t say it to her, his words were full of meaning. He had quite a good control over the news in the Palace. She didn’t believe that he wouldn’t know something that even the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng knew.
After being tormented in Yi An Hall for so long, Xiao Baoxin was already so hungry that his entire body was emptied.
Because the entire Xie family was busy with Xie Yan’s one-month-old birthday, they did not expect that their own family would be hungry. Rong Antang did not prepare any food at all. After that, Cai Wei went to the small kitchen and took a small plate of snacks left over from the banquet. Xiao
Baoxin wolfed it down.
She was the only one who had given her son such a miserable one-month
celebration.
“Eat slowly, don’t swallow.” Xie Xian had just picked up a handkerchief to wipe Xiao Baoxin’s mouth when he stood up and poured a glass of water before pushing it in front of her.
As for the four maids, they had already left. With Master Lang around, they were like trash and could not even fight for the slot.
Fortunately, Master Lang had a big family and business. There were too many things for him to worry about. He could not always stand in front of Madam. Otherwise, they would be forced to lose their jobs.
Finally, there was some food in his stomach. Xiao Baoxin felt an indescribable sense of happiness. As expected, people needed to eat and wear warm clothes to feel happy and have a sense of existence.
“.. I think Grandmother wants to take care of the third son.”
After filling his stomach, Xiao Baoxin suddenly mentioned Xie Ning.
At that time, Mother Xie had asked her to do this, and it was obvious that she had compromised. At least that was what she thought. She would not have misheard.
“Grandmother is old.”
Xie Xian said indifferently.
“When people get old, it’s inevitable that their hearts will soften.
Xiao Baoxin shrugged his shoulders and was very unconcerned.
Regarding Xie Ning, she did not have any opinions, and it seemed that no one had asked for her opinion.
“We were the ones who handled this matter back then.”Xie Xian raised his eyebrows slightly.” The Cheng family came to me, and then you came forward to persuade her to leave and go far away. If she died in a foreign land, Third Uncle would still blame us. Who knows if Xie Ning would think so?”
“How did the Cheng family die? What did they experience when they arrived at Nieyang? I heard all this from those two young men…”
“If they have malicious intentions, they are undoubtedly inviting a wolf into their home.””I have a wife, a son, a mother, and a grandmother,” he said. Since he was the family head, he would naturally consider the greatest benefits for his family. If those two lads were more obedient, money would not be a problem.”
“I never cared about money. The Xie family has plenty of it.
Back then, Xiao Baoxin had dealt with the Cheng Group, so he was afraid that the two young men would vent their anger and push the Cheng Group’s death on him and his wife.
Everyone was safe from afar. It was said that one would be a thief for a thousand days, but who would guard against a thief for a thousand days? Once they had ill intentions and seized the opportunity, his intestines would turn green with regret.
She was merely the mistress of her third uncle after his absurdity. She did not have the same importance as Xiao Baoxin.
Therefore, Xie Xian denied it so firmly in Antang because he wanted to tell everyone that there was no room for negotiation.
Regardless of whether Mother Xie and Madam Yuan understood his intentions or were used to listening to his arrangements, the result was like this.
“I know that you have martial arts and can hear other people’s thoughts, but even if there’s a one in ten thousand chance of it happening, I won’t allow it to exist.”
Xiao Baoxin was delighted and felt that the desserts were a little too sweet.
“I’ll listen to you.”
The only feeling he had for the two sons of the Cheng family was that Jiang Qian was very scheming and shrewd. As for Xie Ning, she couldn’t hide her dislike for her.
She wasn’t interested in knowing whether he had ill intentions or not.
She couldn’t say that the death of the Cheng family was wrong for them to blame her. After all, it was her and Xie Xian who had joined hands to invite them to Nieyang. They had naturally given them enough money, but the world was ever-changing. No one expected the war to suddenly rise and the Cheng family to die outside.
However, she was really not so sain-like as to take Cheng shi’s death on herself.
In short, if she didn’t kill Boren, Boren would die because of her…
If she was to pay with her life, she would not admit that she was a murderer.
“Third Uncle?” Xiao Baoxin asked tentatively.
“Let him be. At most, he won’t be the Guanglu Minister.”Xie Xian chuckled. Third Uncle is a lover. For the sake of the Cheng family, he gave up being a good Chancellor. This time, perhaps he can do it for his son.”
Little Poison Mouth, who had not been heard of for a long time, came out again.
He really didn’t look down on Third Master Xie.
Alright, I just look down on the members of the
It was not that he was brainless, but that he did not use it properly. He ate and stuffed himself with food every day, and no one was more shrewd than him. However, the moment he placed the right place on the neck, the thing seemed to be useless.
“Bao Xin, the imperial physician checked your pulse yesterday and said that you’re recovering well. If you’ve decided to send Ah Yan to Mother’s place to take care of him, it’s time for you to take over. He could not let the third branch continue to cause trouble.”
Xie Xian was well aware of the various drawbacks of Madam Wang s management of the central provisions.
First of all, Rong Antang was outside of the entire Xie family. It was like a residence within a residence. It was not controlled by Madam Wang at all. Although it was nominally in charge of the Xie family, it was only the second and third branch.
The reason why such a situation had formed was entirely due to Mother Xie’s love for her grandson.
When Xie Shi was alive, Mrs. Yuan was in charge of the food, and the interests of husband and wife were consistent. However, with the death of Attendant Xie, Lady Yuan’s hopes were shattered. Fortunately, she was still half-dead and was unwilling and did not have the energy to take charge of the food. In order to prevent Lady Wang from being too greedy, Mother Xie isolated Rong An Hall and handed it over to Xie Xian. It was also her who led Xie Xian to stay in Rong An Hall and not be expelled.
In the past, this was of course beneficial to the chief branch. At least, no one had interfered in their fundamental interests. However, now that Xie Xian had risen to prominence, the chief branch was independent, and Madam Wang was in charge of the central supply. In the long run, it was inevitable that the conflict of interests would intensify, and the power that should have been twisted into a rope would be divided.
When Xiao Baoxin entered, Xie Xian already had such a plan.
However, the speed at which Xiao Baoxin was pregnant had broken her plan, and she had no choice but to change her mind at the last minute.
Now that the confinement period was over, it was obviously time..
