Chapter 264 - 264: The Price of Eyesight
Shiliu could see through it. If she could choose, she would rather marry Second Lady.
“Furen is soft on the outside but hard on the inside. Compared to Second Niangzi who is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, she is much harder to please. How can we know if it’s a blessing in disguise?”
###
That day, Haitang took the second class maid from the third household to Second Lady’s courtyard. The two first class maids who had been serving Second Lady were sold.
At noon, the Madam of Rong An Hall punished the two of them in front of everyone. In the afternoon, she went to the third household’s courtyard and sold them.
Madam Wang had punished the useless maid for the Second Lady, but the tone of her words changed as they spread. Everyone thought that Xiao Baoxin was ruthless and not only did he beat her up, but he also completely kicked her out of the house.
What was the reason for this? Wasn’t it because he was disrespectful to Madam Xiao?
Almost a gust of wind blew through the entire Xie family mansion. Everyone knew that Xiao Baoxin, this master, would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. He was not a kind person, but he could not be easily provoked.
Madam Wang never thought that her thunderous methods would actually have the opposite effect. Instead, she had established her prestige for Xiao Baoxin. Her intestines were almost green with regret.
After Xiao Baoxin heard this, his intestines almost broke from laughing. What did it mean to shoot oneself in the foot? This was it. What did he mean by a kind person bullying the heavens!
Cai Wei: You are the wife, you have the final say.
However, the phrase ‘bullying’ meant that you were at most a wife. Who would dare to bully you?
It’s already a blessing that you don’t bully others.
“As I said, when we went to Grandmother’s place this evening, everyone was very polite. Even the two wives of the second branch knew etiquette and even knew how to greet each other.”
There was an oil lamp in the room. After Xiao Baoxin washed up, he put his hair down to dry. He sat in the bronze mirror and rubbed his face with perfume. After wiping his face, he began to wipe his hands. Thinking of how polite and adorable Xie Chan and Xie Juan were, she couldn’t help but laugh.
Why didn’t she just be so obedient earlier? She only cried out in pain when her fists hit her body.
“What good thing has happened to make my Furen so happy?”
Xie Xian draped his cloak over his shoulders and entered the house. He walked towards Xiao Baoxin with a faint smile. His words were subtle, but it was not a happy smile. He was like a rat that had stolen half a catty of sesame oil. He was as thieving as he could be.
“You came back so late today.” Xiao Baoxin couldn’t help but complain. He stood up and took off Xie Xian’s skin, handing it over to Cai Wei.
Cai Wei hugged her cloak and gave You Mei a look before retreating. She had every reason to suspect that Master Lang came back every day to take off his cloak because he wanted Madam to personally take it off, and that he was deliberately warm and soft.
Ming Yue still had a resentful face as if Furen had snatched his job. It was clearly Master Lang who had the intention to give this job to Furen, alright?
She was clearly an independent person outside, but she didn’t understand why this fellow insisted on taking off people’s cloaks. This wasn’t how one should love one’s job.
There were only two people left in the room. Xie Xian hugged Xiao Baoxin in his arms.
“Why? Do you miss your husband?” He whispered into her ear. No matter how busy he was every day, as long as he returned to the residence and saw her every day, all his worries would be gone. The swords and swords outside were nothing to him.
How could this person be so deceitful and become more and more glib?
Xiao Baoxin snorted and let him hug him. His words were not as exaggerated as those in his heart. His heart was simply like a critical hit. Don’t be too sour, too greasy, and too thirsty.
Xie Xianquan took her snort as an affirmative answer.
“Have you eaten? I’ll ask the kitchen to bring you the food that’s simmering on the fire.”Xiao Baoxin pushed him away and called Cai Wei in to explain.
After Cai Wei left, You Mei asked,”Why are we going through all this trouble? We can just wait for Furen’s orders in the room.””
Cai Wei rolled her eyes,” My eyes hurt.”
“This kind of thing, you have to be more observant. Master Lang is not as easy to talk to as Madam. If you continue to be so tactless, be careful that Master Lang will transfer you to the kitchen to cook.”she warned.
Lord Lang hoped that when he was around, there would not be any breathing creatures around his wife that would be an eyesore.
How was she supposed to say such shameful words to the stupid Youmei?
Master Lang could do it, but she couldn’t say it.
Fortunately, no matter how stupid Youmei was, her ears were still soft and she could listen to advice. In the future, she would not be there where Xie Xian was, and she would not be there where Xie Xian was. Although she would occasionally glance at him from the corner of his eyes, Xie Xian still admired this extremely tactful Youmei and rewarded her many times. This was for later, not to mention for now.
The so-called accompanying the ruler was like accompanying a tiger. If the tiger was not hungry, the officials could only endure it no matter how hungry they were.
Fortunately, Xie Xian’s appetite had always been very small, and he could still endure hunger.
When dinner was served, he could only eat one pancake and could not eat anymore. Xiao Baoxin almost put a knife to his neck and barely ate half a pancake.
This was really sweet torture. Xie Xian rubbed his stomach. It hadn’t been long, but his appetite had clearly increased.
“Today, the emperor said that I seem to have gained weight.”Xie Xian said.
Xiao Baoxin didn’t know that the Emperor was so close to the people that he would actually talk about such idle things with his officials.
“You only eat so little cat food, even less than me. How can 1 tell that you’re fat? 1 think you look better.”Xiao Baoxin served the dishes while he ate. After he finished eating, she asked the maid to take the food away.
“In an hour, bring two bowls of chicken soup.”
The corner of Xie Xian’s mouth twitched. Did he want to drink?
” Qingqing.” He reached out and grabbed Xiao Baoxin’s hand.” I’m very full, really.” Touch me.” Then, he pulled her hand toward his stomach.” If you continue eating like this, my stomach will bulge.””
For example, the Minister of Official Personnel Affairs, who had been pampered, was not considered fat. His four limbs were also thin, but he had a rotten stomach that looked like a small pot.
Before meeting Xiao Baoxin, he did not pay attention to his appearance. After meeting him, he always paid attention to his appearance.
After getting married, he was even more careful to maintain it. At least, he couldn’t stand in a place that didn’t match, right?
Xiao Baoxin thought for a moment.” Do you spend more time standing or sitting with the king’s entourage every day?””
“Naturally, I spend more time sitting.”
“That’s good. Come with me for a walk.”Xiao Baoxin pulled him out. Other than rejecting him in his heart, Xie Xian didn’t even have the slightest intention of not wanting to go out.
“Okay, Nora.”
” Nora wants the horse to be well, but she also wants the horse not to graze. No, she wants the horse to be well, but she also wants the horse to graze hard.’
‘She’s afraid that I’ll become a big fatty and not be beautiful anymore…’
‘Or do you think I’m weak and want to train me here?’
‘Anyway… You still have a lot of regrets, right?
‘If I marry someone strong, I won’t have to worry so much.’
‘No matter what, I have to get rid of the protruding belly first. My body is already weak, and 1 can’t make it look bad.. Practicality and aesthetics, shouldn’t they be the same?’
