Perhaps he had listened to her advice, Cai Wei thought to herself that this was a good thing.
However, Xiao Baoxin was very obedient. The second wife whom she had specially instructed to take care of was not so obedient. Cai Wei immediately replied to Xiao Baoxin when she received the news.
After Xiao Baoxin heard this, he almost choked to death. Xiao Jing ‘ai was using her as a stepping stone to climb up the ranks. Just like Yuan Chen, he liked to use others as stepping stones.
No matter if you were there or not, they would step on you!
This Xiao Jing ‘ai actually fought with the mistress of the He family in front of the He family, and the engagement was broken off on the spot.
Because the He family’s wife often slandered Xiao Baoxin, although Xiao Jing ‘ai’s engagement was broken off, she was known as a close sister.
They were both breaking off the engagement, so why was there such a huge difference in treatment?
Xiao Baoxin was speechless. Others might not know, but how could she not know what Xiao Jing ‘ai was up to?
She had long set her eyes on the Yang Shao. If she wanted to live or die, she had to snatch men and opportunities to become the mother of a country. The engagement on her was the biggest obstacle. She had long wanted to break it off.
In the end, Xiao Baoxin was not in the martial world, but the martial world was full of her legends. And this legend had obviously helped Xiao Jing ‘ai achieve her goals, bringing her one step closer to her goal.
In her previous life, Yang Shao was not promoted to a general, but married her directly and left Jiankang City.
All of this had changed. However, even though it had changed, Yang Shao was able to leap from a poor boy to the founding monarch of a country. He must be really capable. Xiao Baoxin was not sure if Yang Shao would still become the emperor in this life, but it was set that she would not marry. Xiao Jing ‘ai could not marry either.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to see her happy, but Xiao Jing ‘ai had already planned how to deal with her when she became the mother of the world. If Xiao Jing’ ai allowed her to do as she wished, she would be digging a hole for herself and thinking that she would die slowly.
“Hurry up and let them report in time if they have any news. Wifey, I have a great reward!”Xiao Baoxin’s face darkened. He was thinking about how to suppress Xiao Jing ‘ai, but she was in the second house. She couldn’t reach out too far.
At most, she would counter every move she made. If she really wanted to remove the firewood from under the cauldron, she really did not have such a strong method to extract the firewood from the second branch.
At the very least, he couldn’t let her have her way in marriage.
“Wifey, Second Wifey has also sent people to inquire about the movements on our side.”Cai Wei mysteriously lowered her voice.
In the past, although they weren’t as close as one person, they were still close sisters. Suddenly, they started to monitor each other. No one knew what this meant.
Xiao Baoxin expected this.” Keep a tight watch on the courtyard. Say what you should say and don’t say what you shouldn’t say.””
“Yes, my wife.””
” Cai Wei, find me the person they were asking about in our courtyard in the past.”
“I know my wife, it’s Tian Xing and Mu Zhi.”Cai Wei’s intelligence gathering was in place. She wasn’t bragging, but no one in the Xiao residence knew better than her that everything was in her eyes.
“Two third-class maids, who are here to sprinkle water and sweep the courtyard.”Xiao Baoxin did not know the names of the maids, but Tangli knew them all.”Usually, I can’t even enter Niangzi’s house.”
Xiao Baoxin had an idea in his heart.
“Then let them continue to work in the courtyard. It’s fine if they pay more attention to it on weekdays. Your maidservants in the room, shut your mouths tightly. Don’t tell anyone.”
Tangli and the others thought of Xie Xian immediately. This matter really couldn’t be spread.
Wifey’s reputation outside was not good to begin with. If it were to spread that she had taken a fancy to someone, it might even be spread that she was the world’s biggest child.
“Wifey, don’t worry, I won’t let what shouldn’t be spread out.”All the maids expressed their opinions.
Xiao Baoxin was still at ease with these people handling things.
However, good fortune never came in pairs, and misfortune never came alone. The hits came one after another, and there was no time for you to catch your breath. In just two short days, the imperial edict was passed down from the palace, and Xiao Jing ‘ai was conferred the title of Xingping County Lord.
This time, the second branch became lively.
Previously, Xiao Jing ‘ai’s engagement was broken off. Although there were rumors outside, the engagement was still broken off. Madam Xiao felt embarrassed and was afraid that it would affect her daughter’s marriage. She went back to the residence and complained to Second Master Xiao.
Who knew that in the blink of an eye, he would be conferred the title of county head.
Second Old Master Xiao was elated. He had completely forgotten how he had complained to Madam Xiao about his eldest daughter in bed. He turned around and happily gave Xiao Jing ‘ai a hundred taels of silver and asked her to be the host to celebrate with his close friends.
It was said to be a celebration, but in fact, it was just showing off.
Even if her mother was a princess, it was not natural for her children to be conferred the title of county lord. That depended on the title of the legitimate father. His father did not have a title, and his children could not inherit it. As for those who were conferred the title of county head, all of them were close to the emperor. Xiao Jing ‘ai’s mother had a good relationship with the former deposed emperor, so Emperor Yu Heng treated them as if they were nothing.
The eldest daughter of the First household did not have a good reputation. Second Master Xiao was really afraid that his daughter’s marriage would be ruined because of Xiao Baoxin’s reputation. Otherwise, Xiao Jing ‘ai’s engagement wouldn’t have been broken off. His first reaction was to curse.
If one or two of the engagement was withdrawn, would the Xiao family still be good?
No matter how hard the two brothers fought in the court, they couldn’t compete with the speed at which these girls in the backyard were corrupted. Decades of prestige, even water couldn’t flow so quickly. It was gone with a splash.
Now that Xiao Jing ‘ai had been conferred the title of county head, it would be impossible for them to look down on the Xiao family.
Xiao Jing ‘ai relied on Second Master Xiao’s money to spread many invitations. The invitation to Xiao Baoxin was naturally given to her personally. Even if the two of them were against each other now, she had to do this for the sake of face.
Xiao Jing ‘ai had fallen out with the He family in order to protect Xiao Baoxin’s reputation. If they invited all the ladies and Xiao Baoxin was the only one missing, then if word got out, not only would Xiao Jing’ ai lose face, but Xiao Baoxin would also be gossiped about.
At the very least, it would not make sense on the Emperor’s side.
Therefore, Xiao Baoxin had to attend even if it was repulsive.
However, Xiao Baoxin was not someone who was afraid of being disgusted. Who asked her to be disgusted? She could make people feel even more disgusted.
“Sister, you must attend. Otherwise, I won’t let you go.”
Compared to the last time they met, Xiao Jing ‘ai’s make-up was more beautiful, and the material of her clothes had been changed to the cloud silk gifted by the palace. Her loose robe had wide sleeves, and her long dress dragged on the ground. She looked luxurious and elegant, and it was not the same as before.
Xiao Jing ‘ai was sitting at the bottom of the table. She looked at Xiao Baoxin with a faint smile. Those who didn’t know better would think that these two sisters were very close.
Xiao Baoxin’s lips curled up, and his eyes sparkled. A hint of jealousy flashed across Xiao Jingai’s eyes.
“I haven’t had the chance to congratulate Second Mother yet.”Xiao Baoxin laughed, wishing he could chew her up in his heart. Stepping on her and breaking off the engagement, then using the name of sisterhood to coax the palace to understand, and then showing off in front of her. This combination of punches was really good..
