Chapter 236 - 236: Malicious Intent
This was the first time Xiao Baoxin had faced such a strong emotion. Her entire person seemed to be tightly wrapped in this fear and invaded.
It was as if she was Xiao Baoshu and she could feel everything he felt.
She was scared to death.
She didn’t know how she became a murderer.
It was because of her carelessness and gullibility that she had fallen into someone else’s trap.
For a moment, she complained about Xu Liuniang, who was also schemed against. Why did a good little girl not stay with her mother obediently and run to the back mountain alone? Because of this incident, the Fuma, who he could eat and wait for death every day, was gone.
It was just that moment…
However, at this moment, after learning that Xu Liuniang had hanged herself, it turned into a surging self-blame and fear that almost drowned her.
“Bao Xin! Daughter!” Madam Xie saw Xiao Baoxin’s face suddenly turn pale with tears in her eyes, and cold sweat trickled down his forehead. She was so frightened that she wiped away her tears and pushed her hard. Perhaps she was too nervous and used too much force, pushing her hand away from Xiao Baoshu’s.
Xiao Baoxin only came back to his senses at this moment.
She felt some lingering fear and her heart ached for Xiao Baoshu.
Although his high fever and coma were caused by his leg injury, his fear was probably also an important reason for this outcome.
“.. Are you alright? Why do you look so pale?”Madam Xie touched her head from head to face, afraid that something would happen to her. “Didn’t Xie Xian go out to invite a doctor? The Xie family had deep roots and wide connections. They would definitely be able to invite him…
Our Boshu is blessed with great fortune. Nothing will happen to him, nothing will happen to him.”
Rather than saying that she was persuading Xiao Baoxin, it would be better to say that she was persuading herself.
Xiao Baoxin nodded and chased the servants out. Then, she half-knelt beside Xiao Baoshu’s bed and whispered softly into his ear,””Baoshu, don’t be afraid. With my sister here, I won’t let anyone hurt you.”
“There are a lot of things you don’t understand about this matter. It’s actually nothing more than the battle for the crown prince. Our family is married to the princess of Xuancheng, and the Xu family is married to the King of Xin ‘an. The princes don’t want the King of Xin’ an to succeed, so they attacked the Xiao and Xu families.”
“You and Xu Liu Niangzi are both innocent.”
“You’re not the murderer-it’s the one who set you up.”
“Boshu, wake up…Let’s go to the Xu family’s house together and burn incense for Sixth Lady Xu… She is also a pitiful person. Just like you, you are both good children. It’s because this world is full of malice…”
Xiao Baoxin didn’t know if he could hear her, so he just whispered in his ear over and over again. In the end, Mrs. Xie’s cries had completely drowned out her voice.
“My son, mother cannot live without you.”
With that, she hugged Xiao Baoxin again. The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly. Sikong Xiao, who was squatting outside the door, also had red eyes.
He was ruthless. It was all his fault.
Why did he try so hard to overthrow the Crown Prince? Wasn’t it to protect the Xiao family and his children and grandchildren? In the end, if Xiao Baoshu was killed by him, what was the point of him struggling?

Xie Xian had been gone for two hours, but he had brought back the Wei Clan’s Old Master, who was already in his seventies.
He was a skinny and small old man, but he was hale and hearty. He had a long beard that reached his chest, and he had a sage-like aura.
Sikong Xiao quickly came forward to welcome him. Old Mr. Wei had once saved his life and was his benefactor. However, he had resigned many years ago and was idle at home.
Normally, he would close his doors and refuse guests, but it was not something that ordinary people could invite. However, he did not expect Xie Xian to actually invite him over. His heart immediately calmed down a lot.
The Wei family had been practicing medicine for generations and had hundreds of years of family history. In the previous dynasty, he had served in the imperial court. The Wei family of Daliang was also full of talents and had the heart to save the world. They even produced two wandering doctors to treat the people everywhere. There were also two people in the Imperial Physician Department. One family had three generations of imperial doctors and had an extraordinary status.
The relationship between the Xie family and Old Master Wei began when Old Master Wei treated Xie Xian’s great-grandfather, then his grandfather, then Xie Shizhong, and then Xie Xian when he was old…
As a result, Old Mr. Wei had a phobia of the Xie family. He had to change his doctor.
If it wasn’t for the fact that more people had been saved, he would have doubted his medical skills.
He had been treating patients for a lifetime, but he couldn’t help but ask Xie Shizhong to change doctors. He was afraid that he would be at odds with the Xie family. If one of them died in his hands, one would die. Otherwise, there was something wrong with the Xie family’s Feng Shui.
Xie Xian didn’t force others to do anything. He agreed to his grandmother’s request to let Old Master Wei treat him every year. That was their fate for many years. However, he also agreed to Old Master Wei’s request in private and asked other doctors to treat him.
Xie Xian had already used up this year’s quota. He had already checked it systematically before he got married.
Therefore, when Xie Xian went over today, Old Master Wei thought that he was looking for him to discuss the scriptures and Dao. This was what they loved to do the most when they were friends. Who knew that something big had happened to the Xiao family when he asked. He then rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find the medicine box and rushed over.
After checking Xiao Baoshu’s pulse, he said,”It’s fine.” Then, he wrote a prescription and handed it to the child beside him.
“Take it once in the morning and once in the evening. It’s just that this bone injury isn’t my specialty. I think the previous bone doctor is not bad. I can continue to look for him.”
When Madam Xie heard this, she almost called him her savior. Naturally, she thanked him profusely.
After Old Master Wei finished looking at the patient, he wanted to leave. Sikong Xiao tried to persuade him to stay but failed, so he personally sent the old master out.
“Si Kong’s hand is too heavy…” With that, he cupped his hands and left.
How did Xie Xian invite Old Master Wei over and send him back?
The old man saw that his father-in-law had something to do, so he didn’t keep him. He only instructed him to take care of his health.” Don’t indulge in sex.””Almost after he was engaged, he would say this every time he saw Old Master Wei. No matter how thick-skinned Xie Xian was, he could not withstand such ridicule and finally fled.
Xie Xian went back and forth like this. When he returned to the Xiao Manor, it was already close to evening. The sky was gloomy as if a storm was coming.
Xiao Baoshu let Sikong Xiao hold his chin and gulp down the bowl. It was strange that he couldn’t gulp it down at noon, but this time, he actually gulped down half a bowl smoothly. By the time Xie Xian returned, the fever had gradually subsided. However, he was still unconscious and showed no signs of waking up.
Seeing that Old Master Wei had instructed her to do so, Madam Xie was relieved.
The whole family had not eaten for the entire day, so Madam Xie had the kitchen make some simple pancakes and instructed Xiao Baoxin and Xie Xian to take a bite before rushing back to the Xie family.
“It’s not that this mother doesn’t want to entertain you, but it’s only the second day of your marriage and you still have to return home tomorrow. If there’s anything, we can talk about it tomorrow. He would fill his stomach first and eat some proper meals when he returned to the Xie family.”
“You said that this matter… It’s only the second day after you got married…”
Madam Xie saw that Xie Xianzai didn’t say these words out loud, afraid that he would really take it to heart and give his daughter face.
“It’s all thanks to you today. If it wasn’t for you…” Madam Xie wiped her tears again. “Mother, thank you.”
Xie Xian:” What are you talking about? We are a family. This is what I should do.””
His words warmed Madam Xie’s heart..
