Chapter 356 - 356: Hurt Each Other
The Wang family did not only have Twelfth Madam Wang’s nephews left. There were also other young ones who had been exiled. Madam Wang’s own nephews and nieces were already adults. Those who were executed were executed, and those who could be exiled were her nephews and grandchildren.
Madam Wang’s meaning was to use this money to split the Wang family s roots. She could only care about this.
■■ in the future, we won’t have a paternal family anymore. At least you should leave some silver with you. Don’t give it all to others. That man of yours is not reliable. Such a big thing has happened in the imperial court, but he hasn’t come back yet. He might not be reliable in the future. That son of yours is a descendant of the Xie family. The Xie family will not mistreat him. You still have to take care of yourself.”
Madam Wang’s words were heartfelt. Third Brother Xie had let her see too many things clearly.
However, Mother Xie’s actions also made her see the Xie family’s style of doing things even more clearly. Xie Laosan was an anomaly. He was the same kind of guy as Lady Twelve, so he couldn’t be mentioned.
After saying that, she asked the maid to pay out 500 taels of silver from the dowry and hand it over to Wang Shierniang.
“This is for you. Don’t be so stupid as to give it to others/She reminded him
again and again.
Twelfth Aunt Wang wiped her tears.” Aunt loves me, I know.
After thanking him again and again, he returned to the second branch and kept the five hundred taels for his own use. In the next few days, he distributed the silver to the remaining sons and nephews of the Wang family.
It was impossible to buy too many servants for them to bring. She had brought her trusted nanny to her nephew, but if she wanted to bring servants for them all, she would have to buy them from outside. They would all be brought from the Xie family. Firstly, the Emperor would know that it was not nice to talk about it. If it was said that the Xie family was closely related to the Wang family, not only would the radish be pulled out with mud, but it would also pull out a pit.
Moreover, those who survived and were exiled were all young and inexperienced. If they bought servants from outside to follow them, they might be bullied by them and the gains would not make up for the losses.
Twelfth Madam Wang had done her best and this was all she could do.
If she did anything more and implicated the Xie family, she would not only be a sinner of the Wang family, but also of the Xie family.
Even for these, the Wang Family’s Xiao Lang and Xiao Niang were deeply grateful.

After handing over the Wang family’s affairs to Twelfth Madam Wang, Madam Wang then put in all her effort to prepare for Xiao Ning’s coming-of-age ceremony.
It was inconvenient to make a big fuss during the national mourning period, but Xiao Ning was the future Empress after all, so this matter could not be careless. At least in the Xie residence, it had to be passable.
Especially after the Wang Clan was destroyed, Madam Wang became even more cautious.
On the 23rd day of the sixth lunar month, Xiao Ning had just reached the age of adulthood. The Xie family had to deal with all the people, be it the admirers, officials, or guests.
The Xie family did not publicize it, but on that day, they still could not resist the congratulatory gifts sent by the various families.
To Xiao Baoxin’s surprise, Xiao Jing ‘ai actually came to congratulate him personally.
in fact, today was also Censor Xiao’s birthday. Xiao Baoxin wanted to attend Xiao Ning’s funeral in the morning and then go back to his parents ‘house at noon to meet up with his parents.
She had already greeted Xiao Ning. The two of them were now a pair of gluttonous companions.
To be honest, Xiao Baoxin never dreamed that his close friendship with Xiao
Ning started from eating.
Xiao Baoxin wasn’t a big-mouthed person, and he wouldn’t go around telling others that he didn’t get along with his sisters. As a result, Xiao Ning became closer to Xiao Jing ‘ai for the sake of her little friend, and because she knew that Yang Shao was Emperor Yong Ping’s confidant, the two of them called each other’s names in less than an hour.
in fact, as long as Xiao Jing ‘ai did not go crazy and deliberately wanted to please others, she was very likable.
First of all, her appearance that made one feel pity for her gave her extra points Her appearance was beautiful and gentle, unlike Xiao Baoxin’s beauty that was flamboyant and sharp. Especially her almond-shaped eyes that were like autumn water. Even a wife could not help but like them.
Otherwise, Xiao Baoxin wouldn’t have been deceived by him in her previous life. The man didn’t even know that she had tricked him into bed.
Xiao Baoxin felt disgusted when he thought of this.
She didn’t think much of Yang Shao, but Xiao Jing loved to do disgusting things.
just as he wanted to interrupt, Xiao Jing ‘ai stopped and said goodbye to Xiao Ning ‘”‘In the past, my father’s birthday was not extravagant. Just like Eldest Uncle, it was a small gathering of the family. I just got married this year and left my parents. I can’t be late.”
“It’S just that Eldest Niangzi and Older Sister have always been close, so I had
to come.”
“.. I like Eldest Lady’s amiable and straightforward personality the most, and she is quite similar to my elder sister. It’s strange that the two of you can get along so well.”Xiao Jing ‘ai smiled.
Xiao Ning had just arrived, and before she could integrate into the circle of noble women in Jiankang, she had already decided on the Xin ‘an King. Then, the palace coup suddenly occurred, and she suddenly became the future queen. She had never dealt with noble women, so she did not know what their temperaments were.
However, she did not know, but Xie Wan knew. It was not news in Jiankang City that the two sisters of the Xiao family were quarreling.
It was just that he couldn’t expose his shortcomings in front of Xiao Baoxin. Xiao Baoxin smiled mockingly. She did not take the initiative to mention it, but it did not mean that she had the obligation to cooperate with Xiao Jing ‘ai’s acting.’You’re so thoughtful. It’s Second Uncle’s birthday. Let’s go quickly.” “You’re so filial. You definitely won’t want Second Uncle to wait.
Xie Shan and the other sisters were watching from the side. They all knew that Xiao Ning was going to be the Empress, so they didn’t dare to be arrogant in front of her.
Because of their restraint, Xiao Baoxin calmed down quite a bit.
Xiao Jing ‘ai listened to Xiao Baoxin’s insinuations as if she didn’t understand. She smiled coquettishly as she held Xiao Baoxin’s arm and walked out.
If Xiao Baoxin wasn’t afraid of the child in his stomach, he would have thrown her away on the spot.
He didn’t have to listen to the unpleasant curses in Xiao Jingai’s heart.
“Why, Second Lady has given up on her ambition to be the mother of a country and is finally willing to be a minister’s wife, helping her husband and raising her children?”Xiao Baoxin said in a low voice as he walked. It was impossible for him to deliberately disgust her.
At least she had to return it.
As expected, it hit Xiao Jing ‘ai’s sore spot, and her expression changed. Come on, hurt each other.”.. Xie Xian didn’t go to jail, but you know his health. It hasn’t been a few years…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Xiao Baoxin had already grabbed her arm and pulled it back.”Ah, what are you doing? Do you want to hit me in front of the Xie family?”
“Aren’t you afraid that others will laugh at the Xiao family?”
The two sisters walked along the veranda of the Xie Manor. Occasionally, there would be two or three maids coming and going. The reason why Xiao Jing ‘ai dared to say such words was because she knew it in her heart. This was the Xie family, Xiao Baoxin’s in-laws’ family. No matter how arrogant Xiao Baoxin was, he would not fall out with her on the spot and let his in-laws see him as a joke.
He didn’t expect Xiao Baoxin to be so reckless that he dared to make a move in his in-laws ‘house.
Was her brain kicked by a donkey?
Or was her IQ. negative because she was pregnant?!
