Chapter 893: If You Know How to Talk, Say More
Hibiscus thought,[That’s true, but is it appropriate to say that in front of my mother?]
Looking at Youmei, she nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice. She simply couldn’t agree more. As for the so-called ” everything is good “, she still did not know. At most, she would agree that he was ” not good-looking “, right?
There was an inexplicable sense of joy.
Xiao Baoxin glanced at Cai Wei,”If you can talk, then say more.””
Cai Wei beamed,”Alright, please listen to me one by one.””
Ancestral Dragon Wang had defected from Northern Wu, which had set the tone for Daliang’s victory.
She could only find out about his behavior and style in less than a month after he arrived in Jiankang. Moreover, he was still pestering Youmei for half the time, wanting to propose marriage.
The mansion in the eastern suburbs that the Emperor had rewarded was once occupied by an unfavored prince. He had only lived in the mansion for a year and a half before he was sent to the edge of the town and died outside.
The house was not small.
The servants and butlers who moved in were all people introduced by Mrs. Xie, and they were all done in one go. Although Ancestral Dragon Wang looked rude, he was generous to his servants. There was no news of him beating up servants.
In addition, he basically did not have any entertainment activities in private, nor did he go to the Qin Lou Chu Hall to drink wine with others. When he was free, it was said that he would practice on the martial arts field for a day.
There were no romantic rumors.
The only thing she could do was to pester the emperor to be a matchmaker and marry Youmei.
Three to five sentences were enough.
“Alright, Youmei knows what to do. This matter is settled.”Xiao Baoxin had already chased them out. If there was anything else, the maids could talk to each other in private. They would definitely be more open than in front of her.
Originally, she had planned to hug the twins and play with them for a while before going to look for Xie Xian. At this time, he should be copying scriptures.
In the end, Xie Xian came over before the twins woke up.
Have you heard of the ‘New Age’ in the World? Xiao Baoxin went straight to the point. Otherwise, Xie Xian wouldn’t have been so different from his usual schedule.
That was something that could not be broken. Nothing unexpected would make him break the rules.
Xie Xian nodded and sat beside Xiao Baoxin. He grabbed her small hand and held it.
Xiao Baoxin waited for him to speak in surprise, but he didn’t say anything for a long time.
“Ancestral Dragon Wang is my man.”
What?
Xiao Baoxin’s eyes were so wide that they almost fell to the ground, and his mouth was wide open.
What did this mean? Was it a declaration of ownership?
What did he mean?
“What?”
“You said it.”
“What do you mean?” Xiao Baoxin was stunned.
‘He’s a spy I sent to North Wu, a loyalist of the Xie family.’
Xie Xian raised his eyebrows. If not, why did you choose to surrender and betray Liang? It was hard to say who was stronger between North Wu and Daliang. He was still in his prime and had once been put in an important position by the King of West Wu. Why would he sell himself to Daliang before the outcome was decided?
Was treason so casual?
This was because he had no relatives or friends in Northern Wu. Otherwise, it would be a great crime to kill all his relatives and friends. Any relatives and friends who were even close to Northern Wu would be uprooted.
At that time, he had only nailed the nail in the head. He did not expect that there were a few people in this group who were really lucky and capable to reach their current heights.
Ancestral Dragon Wang was the most promising one among them.
Originally, if the battle between Liang Wu had not reached such a stalemate, Ancestral Dragon Wang could have continued to hide and use it in the future. However, this time, the King of Dong Wu had swept through the Wu territory and went straight for Daliang. He was aggressive and unwilling to retreat. It was foreseeable that he had a big goal. He had to stop him here, or else there would be endless trouble.
That was why he sent a message over there. Fortunately, Zulong Wang received it in time.
That would take almost a month.
Xiao Baoxin was completely dumbfounded after hearing this.
She thought that she had married a foreign general, but in the end, she was still one of them.
“Is this what you want to see?” Xiao Baoxin pondered for a moment and felt that something was wrong.” Then was it your idea that he kept pestering Youmei and wanted to marry her? Did you want to control him for a lifetime, or was it his own idea?””
Using her maid as a bargaining chip and a spy was not acceptable.
Moreover, Cai Wei might have the brains to do so. If it were You Mei, she would lose if she didn’t sell herself to someone else and gave him the change instead.
Xie Xian shook his head.” I don’t want to control someone for a lifetime. At his current position, you can’t control someone for a lifetime either. There’s only mutual benefit.””
“No one will be willing to be controlled by the other for a lifetime, when he has enough power to resist.”
“So?” Xiao Baoxin asked,” Tell me openly.”
She was afraid that he would entangle her.
Xie Xian smiled. His wife was still very protective of her children.
“It was Ancestral Dragon Wang’s own idea.”
“He wants to use this method to make a scene and let everyone know. Everyone will be able to witness his feelings. He had privately sent someone to mention this matter, but Qing Qing didn’t like it, so I rejected it.”
” As for whether he defected or really took a fancy to Youmei,” Xie Xian said,””I’m more inclined to the latter.”
” He is now a traitor of Northern Wu who has made great contributions to Daliang. Even if he is just putting on an act for others, the Emperor will not treat him unfairly in the future. He and the Xie family…”
” Actually, it can be cut off very clearly and draw a clear line. You know me, I won’t use his past background to threaten him. It’s either good for him or I give him a future like a stranger. I won’t do anything that involves a life and death struggle.’
Xiao Baoxin nodded. He had always maximized his benefits.
He had never done anything that harmed others without benefiting himself.
“Then why are you telling me this?”Xiao Baoxin found it strange. Since there was no harm in marrying Mei, and there was no conspiracy in the middle, why did he tell her all this?
Xie Xian raised his hand and gently pinched her pretty nose.
“I just thought that I should tell you about this kind of thing. I know that you treat your maids very well.”
It was a little too much to say that they were like biological sisters, but outsiders definitely could not compare. They were both servants and friends, and they were very, very caring friends. It was obvious from the fact that she had chosen a family for the maids. There were more than ten people who could not keep up with the conditions she had brushed off.
She didn’t marry out as a servant and was very serious and responsible. The dowry she gave wasn’t the standard of a servant.
Speaking of dowry, the one with Mei was worth discussing.
After all, he was marrying a provincial governor, so his dowry could not be too shabby. However, there was no fixed amount. If Xiao Baoxin gave too much, it would make the other maids look bad. It would be too biased.
Xiao Baoxin told Xie Xian about his worries, but who knew that Xie Xian didn’t take it to heart at all.
“How much silver do you think Ancestral Dragon Wang still has after all this trouble?”Xie Xian couldn’t help but laugh. He had spent no less than two to three hundred silver just to enter the palace to pass a message to the Emperor.”
“He has no property in Jiankang and no foundation. All he wears and uses are nothing more than those rewarded by the Emperor. Even if he took out everything, to be honest, it might not be as much as the dowry you gave to your maids.”
