Chapter 49 - 49: Talk to My Fist
The news that Xie Xianguan was appointed as a third-grade casual rider’s constant attendant spread throughout the backyard in less than a cup of tea’s time. The ladies gathered in twos and threes, and all of them were amazed by this twenty-year-old casual rider’s constant attendant.
A casual rider’s attendant was something that even aristocratic families dreamed of. It was a relatively prominent official position among clean officials. It had a real position and a good reputation.
Some of the fathers of noble ladies had never reached this height in their entire lives.
For a time, the frequency of the name ‘Xie Xian’ in the backyard soared. However, there were naturally those who praised him and those who criticized him.
What was the use of a higher official position? Even the emperor knew that his body was not good, but he still fell sick every two or three days even if he gave him tonics.”
“My mother said that Xie Xian is the most obsequious and despicable person. He doesn’t have the slightest bit of the strength of an aristocratic family. He relics on the Emperor and does all kinds of bad things.”
“Didn’t you see that there are so few guests this year? When the Wang family’s old madam celebrated her birthday before the new year, that was the time to welcome guests. We had to sit in a car for half an hour before we could enter, unlike the Xie family…”
“How did the Xie family produce such a person?”
“If you continue to spout nonsense, please leave the Xie residence. Our Xie family does not welcome people like you who spout nonsense!”A young girl around the age of twelve or thirteen walked out from behind the flower garden. She had a slim waist and a thin back. Her hair was combed into a bun, and her beautiful eyes were almost spewing fire.
Xiao Baoxin recognized that this Lil ‘Miss was Xie Xian’s younger sister, her name was Xie Wan.
In the past, when Servant Xie was still around, the Xie family’s mistress would often bring her children to banquets. She had seen them in the Eldest Princess’s residence. Her appearance was basically the same as when she was young. She was still as fair as jade and was actually 50 – 60% similar to Xie Xian.
“Seventh Madame, why are you shouting? Is this how you treat your guests?”Xie Shan of the third branch was fourteen years old and was already engaged. She was the Nanyang Fan family, one of the few people who had spoken ill of her. The head of the family was the governor of Xiangzhou. He only had a concubine with him, and the entire family was still living in Jiankang.
Xie Wan sneered,”The guests are reasonable and polite. I’m waiting for them. However, my Xie family doesn’t welcome people who come to my house and gossip like this!””
“Seventh Madame!” “You’re still young, so don’t speak rudely,” Xie Shan chided.”He turned to Lady Fan and bowed slightly.”Please don’t take offense, Seventh Lady. Why don’t we go to the pavilion to drink tea?”
Lady Fan was the fourth in the family. She was the legitimate daughter of Xie Shan’s first wife, her proper aunt. In the past, when the Xie family was in the limelight, several people revolved around Xie Shan. Later, when Xie Shizhong died, Xie Xian made things difficult for the aristocratic families. The relationship between the two families became subtle. Xie Shan did not dare to put on airs in front of Lady Fan and occasionally flattered her.
“Yeah, our Seventh Madame has always been spoiled, don’t worry about it.”The two wives of the second branch echoed Xie Shan.
Every family has its own difficulties, Xiao Baoxin sighed.
The aristocratic families were deeply intertwined and had too many problems.
Even a noble family like the Xie family could not avoid the competition between the various branches. Moreover, the eldest branch was already gone, leaving behind Xie Xian and the other orphans and widows. As the uncles were not convinced, the sons and daughters below were not stupid. They understood the meaning of the eyes and naturally would not bow down to the eldest branch.
If Shi Zhong Xie was still here, how could the other families dare to shout and shout at the eldest daughter of the eldest family? Even the sisters in Shu Shu’s family dared to shout and make her look bad in front of outsiders?
“Second Sister, I know you’re married to the Fan family in Nanyang, but you can’t throw away the Xie family’s face.” Now that they arc gossiping in the Xie family, even if you marry over, you won’t be valued!”
“Seventh Madame, is this how you treat your elder sister?” Xie Shan flew into a rage.”
“Seventh Madame, quickly apologize to Second Sister. Second Sister was worried that you would lose your manners in front of the guests, so she kindly reminded you. Why are you so ungrateful?”Xie Chan complained.
Xiao Baoxin couldn’t take it anymore.”
“You bullies, can you grow some brains and come up with an excuse that can convince others? Do you think everyone else is a fool? Can’t you tell if it’s a kind reminder or an opportunity to suppress them?”
“Not to mention others, you can even swallow your anger after being slandered in your own residence. You, Second Lady, and…”
After a pause, he really couldn’t remember who it was, so he skipped it.”He is indeed broad-minded, but unfortunately, he has lost his character and character, making him a laughing stock.”
“Xiao Baoxin, this is the Xie Estate’s family matter. It’s not for you to point fingers.”
Xiao Baoxin had successfully drawn the flames of war over. Xie Shan gritted her teeth as if she wanted to swallow her alive.
The two of them had an old grudge. Back then, when Xiao Baoxin came to Jiankang City with a local accent, the one who laughed the most was Xie Shan. Therefore, Xiao Baoxin kicked Xie Shan into the lake.
The Xie family’s third branch jumped three feet high, and the Xiao family’s stance of not ending until one side died was finally suppressed by Shi Zhong Xie.
At that time, Servant Xie was the absolute ruler of the Xie family. No matter how much Third Brother Xie cared about his daughter, he had no choice but to suppress his anger. However, Xie Shan was not only ill for half a month, but she also could not afford to lose face. She only left the residence for a walk after half a year. After that, Xie Shan and Xiao Baoxin became enemies, and they treated each other as invisible people.
Why didn’t Xie Shan get angry when the invisible person said something today?
“If the road is not smooth, someone will step on it.”Xiao Baoxin smiled and faced Xie Shan.”What you did wasn’t right. You bullied your own sisters with outsiders. Why didn’t you let others say something when they couldn’t stand it?”
“You don’t have the strength of character, but you don’t allow your sister to speak up for your family. What kind of logic is this?”
“Seventh Madame, don’t listen to Xiao Baoxin sowing discord. She’s from a poor family and has no upbringing. How can she comment on the Xie family’s matters?”Xie Shan’s Third Madam, Xie Juan, also joined in.
They were used to relying on the third branch and only followed Xie Shan’s lead.
Xie Wan found it funny.” The Xie family doesn’t allow Lady Xiao to criticize, but they allow the Fan family to criticize. Who made this rule?\'”‘
“I didn’t hear what others said, but what Xiao Baoxin said, we heard it with so many pairs of cars!”Xie Shan glared at Xiao Baoxin hatefully.
“Also, Xiao Baoxin, I hope that your Xiao family won’t rely on the fact that your matriarch’s surname is Xie to stick to our Chen County’s Xie family. If they were not on the same path, they should not force themselves together. Their standards were different.”
“Yeah, she’s from a humble family and can’t be seen in public. Why would she pretend to be the descendant of a famous family?”Fan Si Niangzi couldn’t help but ask.
Xiao Baoxin was about to get calluses from hearing these words.
She walked over to Xiao Jing ‘ai, who was quietly enjoying the wine and watching the show.\'”‘Second Mother, lend me your wine cup.”
Xiao Jing ‘ai didn’t even have a chance to retort. Then, Xiao Baoxin poured the remaining fruit wine on the ground and casually threw the wine cup up. Immediately after, he punched the moment it fell. A few popping sounds were heard in the air, and the white porcelain wine cup shattered on the ground.
The corners of Xiao Baoxin’s mouth curled up into a smile, as beautiful as a peach and plum.
“I can’t be bothered to argue with you guys anymore. It’s quite boring. If you want to talk nonsense again, talk to my fist!”
