They were all sharp eaters who heard their conversation clearly.
It’s good that Xie Lang doesn’t reject this marriage–
Was the truth that Xie Xian was forced to submit?
Yang Shao had a faint feeling that Lady Xiao was rushing him. He felt sour in his heart. This was the Empress of his previous life. After rebirth, she had cleanly kicked him away. She even rushed to marry into a noble family. Xie Xian, who was like a jade, suppressed him a few times.
.. Why Xie Xian?
Why did Xiao Baoxin, who had been reborn, choose none of them in this life, but Xie Xian?
What was so special about him, or what was Xiao Baoxin’s goal?
Letting Xie Xian replace him, change dynasties, and become the Emperor?
“Brother Yang.” Xie Xian greeted first. His handsome face had already returned to normal, no longer as red as before.
Yang Shao quickly returned the greeting,” Brother Xie, are you feeling better? Previously, he wanted to pay a visit to the Xie residence, but he was afraid that he would disturb Brother Xie’s rest…Was he leaving just like that? I was thinking that if 1 met Brother Xie today, I would go to the elegant house to have a drink with him. Why don’t you stay a little longer?”
The butler thought,”Do you want to leave immediately and deal with things at the right time?”
After Yang Shao finished speaking, he remembered that he hadn’t greeted Xiao Baoxin. He cupped his hands and bowed,”” Congratulations to the great lady for the new year.”
He took a deep look at her and wanted to poke his own eyes.
Such a beautiful person, how could he make her wish to stay far away from him after her rebirth and hide in the sky? In her previous life, she must have been so blinded by victory that she didn’t know how to be smug and let Xiao Jing ‘ai seduce her.
Now, if he was asked about the country and the beauty, he would rather have the beauty.
And he only wanted her.
His eyes were filled with a deep love, a longing, and a regret that he did not realize…However, Xie Xian, who had the vinegar bucket attribute, saw all of this and immediately felt uncomfortable in his heart.
At the beginning, he had the intention to fulfill his wish, but Yang Shao himself was disappointing. He looked at the bowl and stared at the pot. Before the marriage was settled, he had already gotten involved with the Xiao family’s Second Lady…
Why was she giving him a look now?
In the past, she didn’t know that he was a sentimental person.
“No, Yuan Zheng still wants to go home and spend time with his family.”The smile on his face disappeared as he said to Xiao Bao Xin,”Eldest Lady, please go back too. It’s cold outside.”
Xiao Baoxin didn’t want to stand with Yang Shao for too long. The thought of Xiao Jing ‘ai made him feel awkward.
Yang Shao and Xiao Jing ‘ai had already set a wedding date, so marriage was inevitable. With Xiao Jing ‘ai’s brain, how could he lead Yang Shao into a good ditch?
He had clearly heard what Xiao Jing ‘ai had said, but he still personally came to propose marriage. One could imagine what kind of person he was.
“Then thank… Take care, Chang Shi.”
Xie Xian was not very comfortable directly changing from a servant to a constant attendant.
Yang Shao could tell that Xie Xian was unhappy, but he didn’t know how to explain. Before he could organize his words, Xie Xian strode forward and left him there.
Looking at Xiao Baoxin again, he didn’t even lift his eyelids. He bowed as a return gift and turned around to walk back. The snow was getting heavier, but his heart was cold. It was much colder than the winter in Jiankang City.
“General Yang, please?” Butler Jia Yong couldn’t bear to see him standing there foolishly, letting the servants see him. What was the meaning of him staring blankly at his Eldest Lady?
If word got out, it wouldn’t sound good.
He swept his sharp gaze across the servants and swept them away.
Yang Shao nodded awkwardly and braced himself to greet Sikong Xiao.
Xiao Baoxin didn’t return to the main house at all and went straight to the backyard. Xiao Zhongcheng had not returned for a long time. Xi Sanlang and Yang Shao had no intention of staying any longer. They greeted Madam Xiao and got up to leave.
Xiao Baoshu and Xi Sanlang had no friendship, but he and Yang Shao had almost become master and disciple. Although they had a falling out because of Xiao Jing ‘ai, Xiao Baoxin had found Xie Xian. It was obvious that the marriage was more satisfactory than before. Xiao Baoshu also forgave Yang Shao from the bottom of his heart. When he saw Yang Shao come today, he was very enthusiastic and insisted on letting him stay for a meal before leaving.
“My mother is alone at home. Let’s meet another day.”Yang Shao declined. He really had no face to stay here. What could he say to Sikong Xiao and the two madams?
It was all Xiao Jing ‘ai’s doing.
Sikong Xiao glanced at Yang Shao. If it wasn’t for the fact that Second Brother Xiao wasn’t around and there were only two women in the house, he wouldn’t be sitting here and receiving Yang Shao’s courtesy. What kind of thing dared to play with his Jia Xin? He had already proposed to her, but now he turned around and got together with the second child’s servant girl.
He couldn’t accept it. How bad was his daughter in his previous life? How could he let that wretched girl from his second son’s family steal her away?
Do you have eyes?
This fellow had even become an emperor in his previous life…
Where could he reason with her?
“I heard that General Yang’s martial arts are extremely high. 1 hope that in the future…” He wanted to say a few good words, but why couldn’t he pick one out? “Be a good person and do your job well. Future…Yes, there are.”
Mrs. Xie almost burst into tears when she heard that. She was probably the only one who could tell that her Sikong was just being polite. Those who didn’t know better would think that he was trying to beat people up.
Yang Shao, who didn’t know, broke out in a cold sweat. Everyone in the court knew that Sikong Xiao had made great contributions, was the ever-victorious general on the battlefield, and was the favorite of Emperor Yuheng.
With his help, she was like a fish in water. If he saw her as a thorn in her side, would she still have a way out?
But what could he say? Did his Second Lady throw herself into his arms, threaten and bribe him?
Even he himself felt that it was too shameful to say it out loud. He said that it was Second Lady Xiao’s fault, but in the end, he couldn’t afford to lose. He was afraid that that guy’s brain would be broken. If he leaked it and sold him, his life would be lost.
As for Xiao Baoxin, he was indeed the one at fault.
It was no wonder that his father refused and did not directly chase him out of the residence. He was already pregnant. He was the one who did things sloppily, and Xiao Jing ‘ai had spared no effort to drag him down.
However, apologizing in person was not the right thing to do. The two branches of the Xiao family were watching, so it would not be good.
He almost died from suffocation.
“I will follow Sikong’s teachings.”
Sikong Xiao didn’t even know what he was teaching.
Madam Xiao didn’t like Xiao Jing ‘ai in the first place. Moreover, Yang Shao didn’t do it properly. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have blown Xiao Si’s lungs up and dragged them out of the Xiao residence. It was really strange.
Therefore, he only watched and had no intention of mediating.
What were you doing earlier? Wasn’t it normal to be criticized for doing such a thing?
She was quite surprised that Sikong Xiao’s temper didn’t hit him.
The air fell into a strange silence. As an outsider, Xi Sanlang was so embarrassed that he was about to sweat. His future brother-in-law was unpopular, so it was better to have less contact with him in the future.
No one stayed in the Xiao Family. Yuan Zheng was originally at his own home for the New Year. Those who were close to him went to congratulate him. After a while, they went home. There was no reason for him to stay.
Yang Shao finally let out a long breath when he walked out of the courtyard.
Sikong Xiao had martial arts skills, so he was afraid that he would be angry if he heard this. However, before he could catch his breath, he saw Xiao Jing ‘ai suddenly walk out from an unknown corner to welcome him. She was dressed in a pink dress and her eyes were as clear as autumn water.
Yang Shao’s breath almost choked him to death, and he couldn’t help but cough.
What did he mean by haunting? This was it!
