Chapter 56: Fight It Out

Xiao Baoxin returned to the manor and changed his clothes. After taking a nap, Madam Xie returned.
When Xiao Baoxin left the Xie residence, he only sent Tangli to greet Madam Xie. Madam Xie did not know what he had done outside. She only thought that her daughter was uncomfortable from being bullied by those young ladies in the back residence and returned to the residence. Only after listening to Xiao Baoxin’s tirelessly did she know that such an immoral thing had actually happened.
Naturally, she didn’t say that she was the one who set the fire. She only said that someone had stuffed a letter into her hand when she was on the street, which led to today’s trip.
“Preposterous! Break off the engagement!”
Madam Xie was so angry that she didn’t even remove the hairpin that she had been removing halfway. She grabbed it and threw it on the dressing table, giving the maid who was combing her hair a fright.
“No need. You can go down. I’m not in the mood to remove my makeup now.”Madam Xie waved the maid away and hugged Xiao Baoxin in her arms.” Don’t worry, my daughter. Even if the emperor comes, it won’t work. Mother Tian will personally go to you to cancel this marriage.””
” The damned Yuan family actually gave birth to such a scourge and even wanted him to harm my daughter!’
” How is my daughter not prettier than men? Yuan Chen looks like a dog, but he’s still playing with men! It’s fine if you’re playing, but you’re actually acting like you’re deeply in love with my daughter. It’s really disgusting!’
“Rotten person!”
“Scum!”
“She deserves to be harmed by men!”
Xiao Baoxin listened to Madam Xie scolding the Yuan family in front of him, and at the same time, he heard her scolding the Yuan family in her heart. The scolding in her heart was more vulgar than the scolding in her mouth. Perhaps she was considering that she was still unmarried and should not speak out.
“That damned Yuan Chen. He even lied to me the last time. His eyes were sparkling and he looked at you so sincerely…How can people be so sinister?”
As she cursed, Madam Xie suddenly wiped her tears, which fell in pairs.
“It’s all Mother’s fault for being useless. You actually have to step up for this kind of thing. This should be something that mother should handle. If something goes wrong in the middle and affects your reputation, what should we do?”
In the end, it was all because her daughter did not trust her. Otherwise, even if she received the letter, she would have passed it to her and let her stand up for her.
However, her daughter had dealt with everything except for her. As a mother, she felt guilty.
“Mother, don’t say that. “I have martial arts. Ordinary people can’t get close to me, and it’s also convenient for me to move around.” Actually, it was convenient for her to secretly command Hibiscus to set fire to the house, but she couldn’t say it explicitly.
Xiao Baoxin was comforting Madam Xie when suddenly, Mrs. Zhang ran into the room in a panic.”Furen, Wifey! The Yuan family came knocking on their door and wanted to capture their wife!”
“There were more than ten people, and the door of our residence was kicked open!”
“The butler is blocking the way with the guards.”
Madam Xie had four phoenix hairpins stuck into half of her head. She was so angry that the hairpins were trembling. She was blind to think that the aristocratic families were cultured and respected the rules of the sect. What kind of people were these? They were clearly the ones who had made a mistake first, yet they still dared to come knocking on their door. Was there any justice left?!
“What are you blocking? If you kill or injure him, it’s on me!”
When Mrs. Zhang heard Madam’s words, she ran out.
In less than half a cup of tea’s time, they returned with smiles on their faces. They had all been beaten out. Although they were not killed or crippled, they were all wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves. One look and one could tell that the guards at home had been ruthless.
“You’re spoiled by the living. Do you think our Xiao Residence is easy to bully?”Madam Xie rose to her feet.” Take out the engagement gift list from the Yuan family and throw all those things into the car. We’ll go to the Yuan family tomorrow to cancel the engagement.””
Mrs. Zhang was stunned. These words sounded familiar.
They were familiar with what they did next, and they had also installed the car before.
However, he knew that it was definitely true this time. The Yuan family had come knocking on his door.
“Hey!” Mrs. Zhang was about to leave, but just as she turned around, she was called back by Madam Xie. She almost broke her waist.
“This matter is not urgent. First, go to the home of Minister Qi of the Temple Department to see their mistress, Madam Xie, and tell her about this. Then, ask her to come with me tomorrow to cancel the engagement with the Yuan family.”
After Madam Xie finished speaking, she waved her hand to chase him away. Then, she pulled Xiao Baoxin and explained,
“We didn’t understand before either. Later on, I asked around. Didn’t our two families write a list before the engagement? When they wanted to cancel the engagement, they had to invite the matchmaker to the scene and then destroy the contract between the two families. Only then would it be considered a serious matter. As long as one family refused to do it, they might go to the government to settle it.”
However, those who had a little face would not cause such a scene. They could not afford to lose that person.
“.. Daughter, don’t worry. Even if this matter is brought to the authorities, Mother will cancel the marriage for you.”
“Even if I make a fuss in front of the emperor, mother won’t agree! Yuan Chen scum, Yuan family scum, a family of scum! No matter what, our family can’t marry such a family.”
Because she had let down her daughter’s trust last time, Madam Xie was on steroids this time. What she meant was that even if Xiao Baoxin regretted it this time, no one could stop him from wanting to break off the engagement.
Xiao Baoxin expressed that he was very comforted. This was the aura he wanted.
“Mother knows that you have your heart set on breaking off the engagement. These few days, she has sent someone to follow Yuan Chen and see if she can get hold of him to break off the engagement. Who would have thought that someone would actually give you Yuan Chen’s evidence after you’ve worn out your shoes? This shouldn’t be your marriage.”
Get someone to follow Yuan Chen?
Xiao Baoxin’s eyelids twitched. When did her mother become so alert?
If the people her mother sent didn’t slack off, did that mean that the fire she set today couldn’t be hidden?
She also didn’t expect herself to be so well-prepared. She thought that her plan was thorough. First, Yang Shao jumped out to be an accomplice. Then, her mother sent someone to monitor the entire process. She didn’t hide anything that should be exposed. She was so frank that it made people blush.
“.. Who did Mother send out? Although they weren’t the ones who exposed this matter, they had worked hard even if they didn’t have any credit. They couldn’t let them come for nothing. No matter what, he had to be rewarded.”
Madam Xie was unconcerned.” I asked the butler to do it. I don’t know who he’s looking for. I’ll call him over later to ask.” Breaking off the engagement was a good thing and deserved to be rewarded! Your maids should also be rewarded. In the past, Mother always thought that you would have a few more meticulous ones around you who could serve people. But now it seems that having martial arts is still beneficial. At least they can protect you in close proximity.”
“The one who broke Yuan Chen’s arm, reward her with ten taels of silver to replenish her strength!”
You Mei wished she had broken Yuan Chen’s arm to repay her kindness.
.. It didn’t end. Xiao Baoxin didn’t say it out loud. Her mother was in a fit of anger, so she could vent her anger however she wanted.
The mother and son talked for a while in the room. In fact, it was mainly because of Madam Xie’s deep self-reflection. Fortunately, Yuan Chen’s character was exposed before marriage, so they still had a choice. If they found out that he was a good man who played with men and was played by men after marriage, they were afraid that they would suffer and swallow their words.
Did she swallow it after marriage? That did not exist. She, Xiao Baoxin, would never suffer such a loss in silence.
However, Xiao Baoxin did not want to waste her breath on Madam Xie. Now that she was so pleased with herself and had gotten what she wanted, she comforted Madam Xie before leaving. Once she was out of the main courtyard, she immediately brought Tangli to invite the housekeeper, Jia Yong..
