As expected, knowing kung fu was different. Even falling was so unique, it was shocking.
Was this a fall or a dance?
Xie Xian:” Qingqing, good figure-no, 1 mean good skills.”She accidentally exposed her true thoughts and blushed. Fortunately, the pond was far away and there were no lanterns.
The problem was that Cai Wei was the head maid and was waiting in the room. She knew Xie Xian’s temperament, but the other maids did not. Seeing Xiao Baoxin slip for a moment, someone with good eyesight panicked. He was afraid that no one would serve him and complain. It was also a good time to show his face, so he diligently took down a lantern and hurriedly went forward to light it up.
“Furen be careful, the water is slippery, this servant will shine some light in front of you.’The little girl’s cleverness was obvious, and she looked very likable.
Xie Xian is so annoying. Do I need you?
The two of them were groping around in the dark and were in a romantic mood. They were talking about intimate things. Would there still be that atmosphere if they mixed in an outsider?
It just so happened that he was also tired, and his legs were trembling. He was born in a great clan, and he had a special car to go in and out. Even if he followed the emperor, the palace was not as grand as the previous dynasty. It was not so vast that it was endless. It was all within his tolerance. However, this was the first time in his life that he had walked for an hour straight. It was all thanks to his strong willpower.
“Alright, let’s go back.” Xie Xian’s expression was waning. “In the future, when Furen and 1 call you, you don’t have to wait for us.”After saying that, she turned around and walked back.
The little maid was in fear and trepidation. She never dreamed that flattery would hit the horse’s leg.
Xiao Baoxin grinned. How could she not know Xie Xian’s little thoughts? “It’s alright, you can go do your own things.””
Then, she followed Xie Xian back to the inner room.
At this moment, the chicken soup was served. Xie Xian braced himself and drank it. Fortunately, he had digested a lot of food during the hour of walking. Otherwise, he really wouldn’t have been able to drink it.
“Master Lang, the hot water is ready. Do you want to take a bath?”The servant asked.
“Wait for me to rest.” Xie Xian waved his hand.
Xiao Baoxin was silent. Wasn’t it a little harsh to walk so much on the first day?
She quietly stepped forward and placed her hand on his leg. He was the only one who indulged her without any reluctance. “I’ll give you a massage,” she said fawningly.
Xie Xian spent a lot of effort to not scream when he exerted force. Suiyun had just walked out of the door. He couldn’t let out such a loud howl and let others see him as a joke!
“Be gentle, Nora! Be gentle!” What a strong force.
Xie Xian might have felt that he was too impatient, and it did not look good on Xiao Baoxin’s face. He said softly,”Nora, 1 just need to rest for a while. There’s no need…Come, sit with me for a while.”
“I’ll be gentle.” Xiao Baoxin was persistent, and she was not going to give up halfway. Moreover, if he left after saying a few words, it would make it seem like she was not sincere in wanting to give him a massage.
Hence, she got up lightly and felt comfortable.
It was just that she had a good foundation in kung fu, and a little attention was enough to hold her hands tightly, and Xie Xian was so angry that Xiao Baoxin was able to count the signal to let go of his hands.
The two of them pressed down like this for a while. When the other side bared her teeth, she would restrain her strength a little. This was considered a beautiful torture for Xie Xian.
Firstly, it was Xiao Baoxin’s intention, and secondly, it was really comfortable.
He didn’t like the handmaidens ‘close service, so he had never received such treatment. As for the manservants, he didn’t have such a hobby either. Who knew that such a massage would really be so comfortable? He squinted his eyes and enjoyed it.
“Nora…”
“Hmm?” Xiao Baoxin was all smiles, knowing that this fellow was extremely beautiful.
“I’m afraid the third branch will turn the world upside down.” Xie Xian pondered for a while. He still had to inform Xiao Baoxin about this matter. “Stay away from the third household for the time being.”
“However, you did a good job today. You can’t tolerate bullying me.”
“Endurance is like a knife in the heart. We should endure what we should endure, and we can’t spoil what we shouldn’t.”
Xiao Baoxin nodded. She was in the right in this matter. No matter what happened, she believed that Xie Xian would stand on her side. She was just curious about why the Third household was about to turn over.
“What’s wrong with the third branch?”
Xie Xian sighed.” Third Uncle has a mistress outside.”
In Daliang, the management of officials taking in concubines was very strict. Officials above the scholar-bureaucrat level only had one wife and two concubines. Any more and they would be impeached by the censor. Therefore, it was not impossible for them to lose their official positions.
However, there were policies and countermeasures. If he couldn’t carry a concubine, then he wouldn’t. If he didn’t accept it, he wouldn’t accept it. It was the same if he played outside.
Therefore, there were many officials in Daliang who had concubines. However, if they didn’t cause any trouble, everyone would turn a blind eye to it.
However, he couldn’t turn a blind eye to Third Master Xie’s mistress.
She had given birth to a son for Third Master Xie. He was already seven or eight years old and was one or two years older than the youngest daughter of Madam Wang.
She was originally a flirtatious widow who lost her husband in her early twenties. She raised her two sons alone and made a living by selling tofu. She had a small business and was a woman. It was inevitable for her to show off her looks.
That Third Master Xie was also a flirtatious person. After a while, the two of them hooked up. After being together for less than half a year, the widow became pregnant. No one expected that she would actually get a man in one fell swoop.
Third Master Xie wanted fame and fortune. His family could survive for several lifetimes. The only thing missing was a son. How could he not be happy?
He spent money and effort to buy a house and land, making proper arrangements for the widow.
Who knew that the widow was also a self-reliant person. She was not willing to be raised like a canary, so she pestered Third Master Xie to pay for him to build a restaurant. It was not very luxurious, and it did not take up much space.
No one had expected that the widow would have such ability. She had actually made a name for herself in the restaurant, and it could be considered a famous restaurant in Jiankang City.
Third Master Xie was even proud of it, and often booked a room in her restaurant.
It was this mistress who had an accident the day before yesterday. She drank herself to death in the restaurant and caused a ruckus in the government. That was how the matter of Third Master Xie keeping a mistress was exposed. Everyone in the court knew about it, and it could be considered a new scandal, not to mention that it involved human lives.
If it weren’t for the Xie family’s foundation, and the widow’s insistence that the restaurant was hers and had nothing to do with Third Master Xie, he might have even captured Third Master Xie for questioning.
Madam Wang looked generous on the outside, but she actually had many tricks up her sleeves. All these years, she had cleaned up the peace in the back of the third household. Her hands were stained with more than one or two people’s blood. She had killed and crippled them in the open and in the dark because she had climbed into bed.
She was also alone. In the past ten years, none of the concubines in the third room had a son or a daughter. It was only when she grew older that Third Master Xie did not even have a son. It was shameful to say that, so he relaxed his methods. Only one concubine gave birth to a bastard son. He was only two years old, but that concubine was already more than thirty years old. She could be considered an old clam that had given birth to a pearl. Her son was listless, and his health was not good either.
If Madam Wang were to find out that Third Master Xie had an eight-year-old son outside, one could imagine what kind of blow it would be to her..
