BXBX NOVEL Chapter 138 - 138: The Malicious Woman
Although Xie Shan had been reprimanded by Madam Wang, she seemed to have taken a pill of reassurance.
“I told them that they would never marry Lady Xiao. What kind of family background did she have? What kind of reputation did she have? Brother could find anyone who was better than her?”
“I think their family is crazy. They want to climb higher even in their dreams. Seeing that the Yuan family couldn’t do it, they switched to our family.”
Madam Wang was less than forty years old. She had an ordinary appearance, but she had a scholarly air about her. She came from the Wang family of Langya.
“Watch your mouth. Don’t go around talking nonsense.”Madam Wang whispered.
Xie Shan responded in a muffled voice.
“Ah…” Another maid of the Xu Manor screamed in shock. The water from the teacup spilled all over the ground, and the porcelain pieces shattered everywhere.
“It’s this servant’s fault, please forgive my wife.”The maid fell to her knees with a thud, her expression changing.
Xiao Baoxin was calm and composed as he walked forward with a faint
smile.”It’s good that you’re fine. Don’t hurt yourself.”
He didn’t even look at who she was. When he saw her, he pounced on her. He wouldn’t stop if he didn’t splash her clothes with water. His perseverance was commendable. However, she was not interested in playing with them. She did not practice her eyes and ears for Princess Anji’s little tricks.
“What’s wrong with you guys? Can’t you even do such a small thing well? What are you still doing on the ground? Hurry up and get down. You’re embarrassing yourself!”
The one who spoke was the little lady of the Xu residence’s second branch, Liu Niang. She was the daughter of Minister Xu and had always been the most doted on. The Eldest Princess treated her like an eyeball. She had bright eyes and two dimples at the corner of her mouth when she smiled. She was delicate and exquisite.
The other wives of the Xu family were already married and sat in the front row. Only Xu Liu’s wife sat in the back row.
Originally, she could not stand Xiao Baoxin and did not want to step forward. However, after making mistakes once or twice, it showed that their Xu Manor was not of high enough class. The servants did not even know how to serve people.
The maid knew that it would not be good to stay with Sixth Lady, so she quickly retreated.
“The Xu Manor’s hospitality is not good enough, 1 hope Eldest Lady can forgive me.”No matter how much Liu Niangzi disliked Xiao Baoxin, it concerned the face of the Xu family, so she had no choice but to apologize. Speaking of which, this was her maid’s fault.
Xiao Baoxin replied,”There are no mistakes.””He no longer pursued the matter.
Xu Liu Niangzi nodded slightly and turned around to greet the little lady she was on good terms with.
Xie Wan waited for Xiao Baoxin to sit down at the side before saying,”.. There’s something strange here.”
Perhaps others did not think so. She sat next to Xiao Baoxin, and one or two maids came up to her and splashed water on Lady Xiao. Once was an accident, twice…It must be because of someone.
The Eldest Princess of the Xu Manor was the most respected. She had always followed the high standards of the palace rules and strictly demanded the service of servants. Moreover, the Eldest Princess hosted banquets every two or three days. Even the stupidest maid would have to practice. Judging by their age, they were definitely not new to the manor and did not know the rules.
“Who did Eldest Lady offend?”
Xiao Baoxin gave her a knowing look. Xie Wan came to a sudden realization. The root was with her brother?
The femme fatale.
“I apologize to you on behalf of my brother.” Xie Wan sighed.
Lady Xiao was her best friend and had a similar temperament. Princess Anji was a widow who had remarried and could not be pushed away. When the two of them competed, it was obvious who was better. Of course, she preferred her good friend to be her sister-in-law.
“However, my brother doesn’t like this Princess Anji at all. She’s really thick-skinned. In the past, she even tried to get close to my mother, but was chased away by a few soft nails from my mother.”
He was afraid of scaring her away. Xiao Baoxin laughed.
She, Xiao Baoxin, was beaten up by others, not frightened.
“We’ll deal with whatever comes our way.”
Perhaps it was because they had suffered two consecutive defeats and had yet to succeed, Princess Anji did not make any more trouble until the Eldest Princess returned and everyone entered the house to start the banquet.
Princess Xuancheng only appeared at this moment. She was wearing a long red dress, which made her skin as white as snow. She had grown taller in a few days, and she was in high spirits.
Perhaps he was full of ambition after beating up the Crown Prince.
After all, the Eldest Princess ‘residence was not a palace, and there was no palace that could accommodate so many guests, so the men and women were separated, and the Furen and Niangzi were separated.
Although Princess Xuancheng was young, her status was the most honorable among this group of young ladies.
She was so stunned that she didn’t even see Xu Liuniang standing up to welcome her. She directly sat beside Xiao Baoxin, squeezing Xiao Miaorong, who had finally found an opportunity to squeeze to Xiao Baoxin’s side, to the side.
Xu Liu Niangzi,”Arrogant…” She didn’t believe that the princess of Xuancheng would ignore her just because she didn’t want to talk to her.
[Xiao Miaorong: Domineering…] If she didn’t move away, Princess Xuancheng would send her sitting on the ground.
All the little girls thought,”What a good match for a close friend. This is the true congenial temperament, and they are mirrors of each other.” He was equally arrogant and despotic.
“I was beaten up by the Crown Prince just now!” Princess Xuancheng sat down and started showing off.” 1 caught him off guard and kicked him to the ground. He fell flat on his face.”
“You taught me well. 1 feel very strong now, and my entire body is filled with vitality!”
Xiao Baoxin:” Please don’t praise me. How did this become her fault?”
“You didn’t hurt your face, right? Otherwise, it would be hard to explain to the Emperor.”
“No, 1 know.” Princess Xuancheng snorted coldly.” Who asked him to scold my brother behind his back? He even spoke ill of my brother to others!” I’m not only going to beat him up, I’m going to go back to the palace to find my father and report him!”
Xie Wan smiled. What a wild princess of Xuancheng. She had brazenly shouted out the black plan. It would be embarrassing not to say that she was straightforward and straightforward.
” Princess.” Xu Liu Niangzi was extremely unwilling and had no choice but to come forward to entertain her. She was a delicate guest in the palace and could not afford to throw a tantrum.
“Why are you sitting here? Please take a seat with Sixth Mother.”
Princess Xuancheng looked around and saw that she was not far from the main seat. “I want to sit with Lady Xiao.”
He wanted to send Xu Liuniang away with just two sentences.
However, Xu Liuniangzi was not willing to admit defeat. She looked at Lady Xiao and did not touch the food on the table.
“Why? The food in the Xu residence doesn’t suit Lady Xiao’s taste? Or are you used to eating delicacies and looking down on our Xu family’s porridge and side dishes?”
Calling it plain porridge and side dishes was really too modest. The Eldest Princess ‘banquet had always been filled with everything from flying in the sky to walking on the ground to swimming in the water. Even the chefs in the residence were picked out from the imperial kitchen, and the salary was given by the Emperor in the Palace.
“If you don’t eat, it’s definitely not to your liking, or your appetite isn’t good. Your residence only cares about choosing the best food to entertain guests. You even have to control whether the guests eat or not and how much they eat.”
Before Lady Xiao could speak, Princess Xuancheng’s temper exploded.
She hated this Xu Niangang who spoke with a pinched voice and was used to acting coquettishly to please her elders. She was shameless!
This kind of dislike increased exponentially after Xu Liuniang became one of the strong candidates for the Xin ‘an Princess Consort.. Even without wind, waves would still rise!
