Even the head of the Cai family had made Xie Xian lose his official position. If their master was implicated by Xie Xian’s unhappiness, then it would be her fault.
Just like what Lady Cai had said, ever since the Wang family fell, Lady Cai had been more cautious and cautious.
However, she had always been from a side family and had never seen much of the world since she was young. She had lost her sense of propriety after being praised by Cai Yuanshi. At the same time, he was also thinking that if their family really reconciled, the Cai family head would not forget them. At that time, his son would also be promoted.
Begging Xie Xian, he had never even thought about it. Their own Second Master Xie was still idle at home, but he had a sinecure.
The Xie family’s Jiulang was appointed as the assistant minister of the Yellow Family, but he got this position through the Emperor’s connections and befriended the Emperor’s close ministers.
Xie Xian had made it clear that his brother had been idle at home for three to five months, but he didn’t make any arrangements.
Asking him to arrange a position for his brother-in-law, wasn’t he thinking too highly of his son, and… Daughter-in-law?
As expected, he actually got rejected when he ran to make peace.
Mrs. Cai felt that she had miscalculated, but she couldn’t blame her daughter-in-law. This daughter-in-law was good in every aspect, good in appearance, good in family background, and she was obedient enough to listen to her. She would do whatever she said, without the slightest intention of bossing her around.
She couldn’t blame her for this.
“Your brother doesn’t blame you, right?” Mrs. Cai asked with concern.
Xie Chan was not stupid enough to be on a pile of dung. She said cleverly,”No, I haven’t. It was just that… I’m a little nosy, but nothing else. My sister-in-law is straightforward and magnanimous. She has always treated me very well, but…”
She bit her lip and pretended to be embarrassed.”He told me not to worry about this in the future.”
“It’s good that I didn’t blame you.” Since your brother and sister-in-law have said so, we have done what we should do. We won’t care about it in the future.”
“Then…It’s over at First Aunt’s side.”
“Don’t worry about your aunt.”Her daughter-in-law was good in every way, but she was not very smart. Was she stupid? Now, the Xie family was suppressing the Cai family by a few heads. Of course, they were taking care of the Xie family.
The Great Aunt Xie Chan was referring to was Cai Yuanshi. She had been punished by the Emperor to shut herself in for three months to reflect on her mistakes. Once the days were over, she started to come out and play.
However, because of the discord with the Xie Clan, even if the Xie Clan did not say anything, most aristocratic families would invite Xie Xian to their banquets and bypass Cai Qi. After a few times like this, Cai Qi was naturally pushed out of the circle.
Cai Qi’s life became more and more difficult. If not for Emperor Yong Ping’s words, he would have gone crazy.
His relationship with Cai Yuanshi was no longer the same as before.
In the past, Cai Yuanshi was domineering and mean, but Cai Qi was willing to spoil her. Now, no matter who was deliberately targeted, they couldn’t stand it. The couple had only blushed a few times in most of their lives. This time, they had made up for the first half of their lives. They had a big quarrel every five days and a small quarrel every three days, making Cai Yuanshi’s temper even more irritable.
Cai Yuanshi couldn’t take it anymore. Yuan San ‘er was still pretending to be obedient after getting an advantage. Don’t blame her elder sister for being ruthless!”
“Wet Nurse Chen, how’s the matter I asked you to do?”
Wet Nurse Chen was Cai Yuan’s dowry wet nurse, and she was also the one who caused Xiao Baoxin to give birth early. However, even with such an identity, she could not help but mutter in her heart, His wife had never had any sisterly feelings, so this was too natural.
When she was in the Yuan family, she was serving Aunt Yuan. She was the eldest daughter of her aunt. After five or six years of marriage, she had sought medical advice and asked Buddha to give birth to such a daughter. She was treated as a precious treasure. The first one was different from the later ones. It developed Aunt Yuan’s domineering personality. After she got married, she hit it off with Cai Qi. She was doted on by her parents at home and her husband after she got married. It also developed her domineering personality.
The few siblings of the Yuan family were not close. It could be said that this big lady did not want to be on good terms with them at all. An elder sister was like a mother. If she had to shoulder the responsibility of her parents ‘death, the siblings of the Yuan family would not have fallen apart.
After the Xie family was pranked on the spot, Aunt Yuan immediately drew a clear line between the two.
The other younger brothers and sisters followed suit. From then on, it was common for the sisters to be estranged and not get along.
With these words in Granny Chen’s stomach, she naturally wouldn’t go and find trouble with the main madam. Moreover, the reason why he could stay was because of Aunt Yuan’s words. Otherwise, he might have been beaten and chased out of the residence.
It could be said that Aunt Yuan’s kinship was weak, but to her own children, she must be a legitimate son, and the servants around her were first-class, and she could not find any fault.
Because of this, Granny Chen was willing to go through fire and water for Auntie Yuan.
It was like a righteous master meeting a loyal servant.
“It’s done. Furen can rest assured. If he threw down a hundred taels of silver, that Guangde Nunnery’s Yuan Hui could even sell her own mother…He’s just a good gambler.” After saying that, the corners of his mouth curled up into a malicious smile, and his eyes seemed to be filled with poison.

Xiao Baoshu returned in early April. He was travel-worn and braved the heavy rain all the way back to Sikong Manor.
At that time, it was still evening, and it was not as dark as night. Lightning and thunder were mixed together, and he was drenched like a drenched chicken.
This was one and a half days earlier than the day he submitted the memorial. Sikong Xiao saw his son shouting and screaming like a water ghost all the way into the manor. He clenched his fists and loosened them, loosened them and clenched them again.
Or do you want to beat this son up?
” You’re a meritorious minister. The Emperor has already decided to go out of the city to welcome you and give you face. Why did you-”
“Do you know that this is the crime of deceiving the emperor?!”She gritted her teeth so hard that they were about to break. Her son was too worrisome. Why was he so pretentious?
Xiao Baoshu froze on the spot. The few aides knelt down in front of Sikong Xiao as if they had been fished out of the water. If it weren’t for the crying in their voices, they wouldn’t have been able to tell. Their faces were covered with rainwater and they didn’t even have time to wipe it off.
“Sikong! I’m guilty. I didn’t stop the general!”
Mrs. Xie,”Should I continue with my half-finished smile or take it back?”
Surprise, it was a real surprise. Especially when he heard that it was the crime of deceiving the sovereign-was this considered deceiving the sovereign?
Jun was too easy to bully.
“I miss home, I miss mother and father.”
Xiao Baoshu wiped his face. Sikong Xiao’s expression was too serious and stiff. He also realized that he…It seemed that he was too anxious and lost the good show?
The Emperor was personally welcoming them. Just hearing it made them feel awe-inspiring and unstoppable.
What a great honor this was! He owed it!
Why did he come back in the rain like he owed Deng ‘er?!
