Chapter 411: Sarcasm
Translator: 549690339
After more than two months, almost three months, they finally heard some good news. The entire Jiankang City was about to boil.
Because of the national mourning, everyone had been holding back for too long. There was no overwhelming victory. The good news of a few battles was enough to make everyone excited. Countless people had already begun to prepare for the end of the national mourning period.
The first to bear the brunt was naturally the Xie residence.
It had been decided that Xiao Ning would leave the Xie Mansion on the day of her wedding. Then, she would enter Taiji Palace through the palace gate to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth. Then, she would hold a grand ceremony and receive the worship of all officials.
The wedding day had already entered the countdown. The nanny who taught the rules in the palace had been officially sent to the Xie residence by the Empress Dowager. She was determined to train Xiao Ning into a qualified harem master in a short time.
Although Xiao Ning lived in the Xie Mansion, she was already fully occupied every day. She basically put an end to all daily contacts and devoted herself to learning the rules. She had even been exempted from visiting Mother Xie.
If it wasn’t for Xiao Ning’s intention to pay her respects every day, no one in the mansion would have seen her at all.
This included Xiao Baoxin, who was also a friend.
By the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiao Baoxin’s belly was already five months old. His belly was spectacular, and it was much bigger than the previous month. He was already a little weightless when he walked. She had been practicing martial arts for many years and had an excellent sense of balance. However, it was still difficult for her to adapt to her suddenly protruding belly.
Sometimes, when they were walking and suddenly saw their big belly, they would unconsciously sigh.
Ever since she was almost bumped into by Princess An Ji on the street, who later became the county head of Yiyang, Xie Xian had already strictly ordered her not to leave the residence. No matter if it was an invitation letter sent to the Xie residence, even returning to her mother’s house was forbidden. Occasionally, Madam Xie would come to visit for a day, and the mother and daughter would chat about the things of the family.
Xiao Baoxin had heard the news of Xiao Jing ‘ai and Yang Shao’s divorce from Madam Xie.
Xiao Jing ‘ai complained to Second Master Xiao that Yang Shao wanted to kill her, locked her up in the Yang Mansion, and cut off all her social activities. The reason she could return to the Xiao Mansion that time was because the maid beside her passed the word on her behalf. Censor Xiao ordered Yang Shao to bring Xiao Jing’ ai back to the Xiao family.
In the end, such a dramatic scene happened.
One could imagine the absurdity of the scene at that time.
Imperial Censor Xiao naturally did not want to see Xiao Jing ‘ai go crazy, but Xiao Jing’ ai cried bitterly and recounted all the things that Yang Shao had done to her…In fact, it was nothing. At least Madam Xie did not hear that Yang Shao had the intention to kill Xiao Jing ‘ai. It was just that he had a troublemaker wife. He was afraid that she would go out and cause trouble, so he trapped her at home.
No matter what she said, Yang Shao had already been forced to swear that if he killed her, he would be destroyed by the heavens and earth. However, Xiao Jing ‘ai still had no thoughts of changing her mind.
If she didn’t divorce Imperial Censor Xiao, she would rather die in the Xiao Manor.
Xiao Baoxin was truly convinced by Xiao Jing ‘ai’s feisty nature, which did not stop at all. This was finally seeing the situation clearly. Yang Shao no longer had the destiny to change dynasties. He was willing to abandon the future emperor seedling that he had painstakingly obtained?
If she was willing to die, even a pig would climb a tree. She was still daydreaming every day that she wanted to be the mother of a country.
Xiao Baoxin thought that Censor Xiao had been forced to submit. After all, this person had a criminal record. Didn’t he support Xiao Jing ‘ai’s actions?
Otherwise, how could a young lady cause such a big scene?
Unexpectedly, Imperial Censor Xiao also made Xiao Jing ‘ai lose his temper. This time, he simply ignored her and ordered the housekeeper in the residence to directly chase Yang Shao and Xiao Jing’ ai out.
Xiao Baoxin was shocked.
Using Xie madam’s words, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father and daughter, father Xiao Baoxin’s days were flourishing and he had boundless glory. Then, he saw his own daughter chasing Yang Shao away like a baby. In the end, his days were in chaos and he didn’t look like a human. If he let his daughter divorce him, he could forget about his old face. I can’t afford it.
Then, things were still turning.
“.. Just yesterday, he heard the news from the Yang family that Second Lady was pregnant.”
The mother and son were speechless.
Xiao Baoxin hugged his stomach and thought to himself, I don’t know how many things have been delayed for me, but 1 actually didn’t get to eat such a big melon.
Xiao Jing ‘ai’s life seemed to be more turbulent than hers.
Oh, wonderful.
However, Xiao Baoxin was not interested in participating in this personally. Xiao Jing ‘ai was a lunatic. He was a person who would go crazy if he let his imagination run wild. If she could, she would never want to get involved with that person for the rest of her life.
Lunatics were scary, but brainless lunatics were even scarier. Their destructive power was equivalent to an entire army.
Yang Shao had made her suffer enough. Originally, even if Xiao Baoxin did not agree to Yang Shao’s proposal, with Yang Shao’s ability, he could still find a good marriage. Emperor Yuheng’s thousand-li horse was ready to go, and it had caused Xiao Jing ‘ai to lose all her good future prospects.
Now, seeing that he was useless and could not become a king, he wanted to dump him again.
To Xiao Baoxin, Xiao Jing ‘ai’s existence was like a textbook. Even though she knew that she was pregnant with a boy, she still talked to him from time to time and told him about the pros and cons of success and failure. She must not daydream and be sad.
“Why did you mention Second Lady Xiao again?”Xie Xian walked into the house and saw Xiao Baoxin lecturing his son. The main idea was not to learn from Xiao Jingai.
He was unhappy. No matter how brainless his son was, he could not learn from Second Lady Xiao.
What kind of trash were they?
A person who had lived for a lifetime could still live such a rotten life. Indeed, it was a hard injury to be brainless. It was the same even after living for a few generations. A good-for-nothing is a good-for-nothing.
It was just a pity that Yang Shao’s bright future had made Xiao Jing ‘ai’s face change beyond recognition.
Xiao Baoxin sat on the bed and did not move. Ever since her body became heavier, she no longer had her usual attentiveness. Xie Xian naturally knew and didn’t want her to hurt her stomach due to her fiery temper. However, he couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed, as if he wasn’t that important anymore.
“How are you today?” He sat down in front of her.
Xiao Baoxin nodded and told Xie Xian about the news he had obtained from Madam Xie. In the end, he said with emotion,
“Just like that, she got pregnant and cried for two whole days.”
If it was in her previous life and she was pregnant with Yang Shao’s child, Xiao Jing ‘ai would probably not even be able to laugh for two days. In this life, she desperately wanted to escape, but she was bound again. To be honest, how ironic was that?
“Don’t mention the Second Lady to my son in the future. I’m afraid he’ll be disgusted by it.’”‘
Before Xiao Baoxin’s smile could completely relax, he continued,””The King of Guiyang has rebelled.”
Rebel again?
Xiao Baoxin’s ears were getting calluses from listening. What were these people doing? They were constantly rebelling. You won’t stop until you’ve destroyed the great rivers and mountains of Daliang, right?
She finally understood that with or without a tyrannical crown prince ascending the throne, the world would be in chaos.
These Song and Liang royal families were jealous of the throne. They wanted to take advantage of any loopholes. They all wanted to make a big deal out of it, but they didn’t want to achieve great things. There were many ambitious people in the world, and only a few could achieve great things..
