Chapter 97 - 97-Preparing for a Plan
Xiao Baoxin laughed in anger. She never knew that Xiao Baoshu was so in love with Yang Shao. How was he here to ask her? He was clearly making a choice for her.
“Why? Do I have to find someone who is also from a humble family to prove that I’m not vain? Do I only think highly of my father, Yang Shao, and the entire class of the humble family?”
“Who says that what must be done can be done?”
“I’ve taken a fancy to Xie Xian, who cares if he’s from a poor or noble family. Whoever I fancy has nothing to do with you. If you like Yang Shao, you can marry him if you want to.”
As he said that, he stood up and grabbed Xiao Baoshu’s collar, exuding a domineering aura,”
“Got it?”
” D * mn, I forgot that Sis is unreasonable!’
“Will I suffer?”
“Is it too late to change your mind now?”
“Xie Xian is indeed quite good.”
Xiao Baoshu was full of regret. He had never been beaten up before, so he was a little arrogant. He actually started to meddle in his sister’s affairs.
How could he interfere in his sister’s matters?
I can’t beat him up!
“Sister, why are you being so serious? 1 was just saying it. If you don’t want to hear it, then don’t. I’ll shut my mouth.”Xiao Baoshu’s hard air was quite hard air, to say soft, no more soft than him.
That lackey’s appearance made even Xiao Baoxin, who originally didn’t want to make a move, want to make a move.
“Actually, Xie Xian is also quite good-”
“You don’t have to tell me whether he’s good or not!” “Have you been to the Academy these days?” Xiao Baoxin asked unhappily. He played with cats and dogs all day long and hung out everywhere. I’ll send someone to ask your master another day. If he doesn’t go, be prepared to die!”
Xiao Baoshu swallowed his saliva.” I’m going, Sis! By the way, I remember that I still haven’t done the homework that Master left behind. Then I’ll leave first and not disturb sister…”
As she spoke, she retreated and ran away.
Xiao Baoxin didn’t waste any time and went to the main courtyard to look for Madam Xie. Even Xiao Baoshu had heard the news. Thinking of Princess Anji’s actions today, the scope of the rumors this time would not be too small. Instead of dealing with the situation, it was better for her to prepare for the rainy day and control her mother first. Whether it was Xie Xian, Yang Shao, or anyone else, she could not control them. At least, she could not let her own backyard start a fire first.
When Xiao Baoxin arrived, Madam Xie was leisurely sipping tea. When she saw her daughter coming over, she hurriedly said,
“Quickly sit beside me. How was it in the palace today? Did the Imperial Consort make things difficult for you? Did the Emperor say anything else?”
The rest was fine, but the main problem was the last one.
Who in Daliang did not know about the reputation of their emperor?
It didn’t matter whether she made things difficult for him or not. Madam Xie was afraid that her daughter, who was as beautiful as a flower and jade, would be fancied by an old emperor. She was already thirty-four or thirty-five years old, and it was enough for her to be his daughter’s father.
However, she really couldn’t bring herself to ask.
” Noble Consort Liu is a simple person. She doesn’t have many twists and turns-”
“Yeah, that’s an idiot.” Madam Xie did not have any scruples in her own home. “She only has the emperor in her eyes. As long as a mother swayed a little in front of the emperor, she would be able to fly into the sky. But look at what she did, it didn’t stop the Emperor from spoiling this and that, and the number of concubines he doted on was as many as dogs.”
“Mother…”
“I’m telling you, don’t go to the palace in the future.”Madam Xie lowered her voice.” If Princess Xuancheng comes to you again, just say that you’re sick. She’ll understand after a few excuses. Everyone in the palace is smart.”” Including Noble Consort Liu?
Xiao Baoxin wanted to ask.
“Noble Consort Liu seems to have the intention of marrying into our residence-”
“Who is it? You? No! I was wondering why she didn’t make things difficult for you. It turns out that she likes you as her daughter-in-law.”After saying that, Madam Xie said,”Isn’t her son Xin ‘an Prince only a little over ten years old? Why is he in such a hurry?”
Xiao Baoxin quickly comforted Madam Xie. Her mother had not agreed to the proposal even though she knew that someone was proposing marriage. Her mother’s mental fortitude was still quite good.
“It’s just that Noble Consort Liu has this intention, but Xin ‘an Prince has no intention of me, so Mother doesn’t have to worry about this. I’m just afraid that someone might cause trouble and involve our residence.”
Madam Xie nodded.” Don’t worry, the palace’s mother will never agree to you going. Even the royal family can’t force you to go, right?”
After a pause, he said indignantly,” What does that Xin ‘an Prince know? He hasn’t taken a fancy to my daughter yet. I don’t like him.””
“It’s good that he didn’t take a fancy to it. Otherwise, we’ll have offended him.”Xiao Baoxin was open-minded. She was as beautiful as a flower and as jade-like as a flower. She was capable of literature and martial arts. Even if she had all the advantages, she had a bad temper.
Moreover, she wasn’t silver, so she couldn’t be liked by everyone.
“Mother, did Boshu say anything to you?”Xiao Baoxin asked.
Madam Xie shook her head and said resentfully,””He hasn’t been home every day. It’s hard for me to find him. How could I have the time to talk? Why? Did he cause trouble again?”
It was probably because he was too impatient to say it before, but he didn’t dare to say it after being threatened by her.
It was good that he didn’t say anything.
“It’s okay, I’m just asking.” “Mother,” Xiao Baoxin said,”did you reject the marriage proposal of the Pan family’s madam?”
“No, why are you in such a hurry?” Madam Xie glared at her.” They already said that it wouldn’t be too late to wait for your father to come back. If I were to rush to their door and tell them that I can’t, wouldn’t that be slapping them in the face?”
“I don’t have the final say in this matter. Let your father decide when he comes back. I can’t interfere in your matters.”
These days, she had also asked around a lot of people, but she did not hear anything bad about this person. Compared to her daughter, she could only say that his reputation was too simple and clean.
Madam Xie suddenly heard Xiao Baoxin mention Xiao Baoshu. She thought to herself that her son was very close to Yang Shao. Perhaps her son and daughter had said something that made her daughter so resistant. She had to call her son over to ask.
Speaking of her daughter’s reputation, the aristocratic families could not count on it. The royal family was begging them, and they did not want to go to a place. This Yang Shao was currently the best choice. She respected her daughter’s choice, but she also had to know why she didn’t choose him. If the reason was pure nonsense, she would not let it go. Did she really think that it was so easy to find a good family? She was young and did not know what it was like to be sad. She always thought that everything had to go according to her wishes.
If you don’t stay in the palace, you will become enemies with each other.
If she really did not get married when she was seventeen or eighteen years old, she would blame her for not grasping the general direction and finding a good in-law.
Children were all debts. The more she thought about it, the more vexed she became. Madam Xie fiercely glared at Xiao Baoxin.
Xiao Baoxin stared at her with his fur all over his face.” What’s wrong with you, mother? Did I offend you?””
“What do you mean by annoying me? You and your brother are enough to annoy me, boss—Sigh, forget it, boss has been quite quiet recently, only you two siblings are annoying!”
