Chapter 507 - 507: Fate Law
Tangli would probably never understand Cai Wei’s passion for gossip.
Similar to the endless love for his career?
Ever since Furen had officially given Cai Wei the task of scouting for information, it was obvious that Cai Wei had already gone mad, eating and sleeping every day, gossiping about other people.
If this continued, he would probably have to gossip in his sleep…
Tangli was deeply worried.
However, Cai Wei was still unaware of it as she continued,’1” Second Lady hates to get married, and she is being pestered by an ugly general. I heard that although that ugly general was not invited to attend this time, he still sent a congratulatory gift…”
Cai Wei’s face was twisted from her passion, and it made her pretty face look even more sinister.
“I heard that when Guanglu Qing heard it, his face turned green and he had people throw the gift out. It was still our Master Lang who stopped him. Later on, when it reached Second Niangzi’s ears, the handkerchief on her hand was almost torn…”
“This time, if we can get along with the Chu family, it will be a relief for Second Lady. Madam Wang and Guanglu Qing would definitely be satisfied.”
He didn’t know what kind of person Xiao Baoxin, the seventh son of the Chu family, was, but it was true that Second Lady and Madam Wang hated to marry. First of all, their family background was passable. As for their achievements, it seemed that aristocratic families were not too important. It was good to enjoy the shade under a big tree. What people valued was family background.
Whether Madam Wang agreed or not was not within Xiao Baoxin’s concern. As long as she knew that the storm yesterday had passed and that it had nothing to do with her, it was enough.
Anyway, she had had enough of showing off and had taught her the lesson she needed to. She did not care about the fate between the third branch and the Chu family at all.
Thinking that they were finally done with their work and could rest, Xie Wan, Xiao Ning, Twelfth Madam Wang, and Wang Qiang came over again and gathered in Rong An Hall.
So it was because of Wang Qiang.
She thought about it, she actually knew about Second Lady Xiao’s death, so she couldn’t pretend not to know. No matter what, she had to tell her good friends. Otherwise, she would be blamed in the future, especially Xie Wan. She was Xiao Baoxin’s proper aunt, so she should have something to say.
Wang Qiang lived in the same courtyard as Xie Wan. When she returned from Rong An Hall, she did not directly return to her room. Instead, she went to look for Xie Wan and explained the whole story to her.
Although they were not in a relationship with Xiao Jing ‘ai, they were kindred spirits with Xiao Baoxin, so they had to express their feelings to her.
The two of them discussed. They couldn’t leave Xiao Ning behind. It was her business whether she came or not, but they had to tell her. Also because Wang Qiang and Wang Shier Niang were close friends, he called her along.
Xiao Baoxin naturally knew that these people were here for her. She simply instructed the kitchen to make a few dishes and had dinner at Rong An Hall that night.
The few of them only dispersed when the sky gradually darkened in the evening.
The money was left to Xiao Baoxin and handed over to the butler, waiting to be delivered to the Yang family tomorrow.
It wasn’t until everyone had left that Xiao Baoxin learned from Mu Jin that Xie Xian had already returned to the residence and was now in the study.
Xiao Baoxin went over and saw Xie Xian holding the small picture album that Pan Shuo had given him and reading it with great interest. He even licked his lips when he saw the content.
Xiao Baoxin:
Now that Daliang was at peace, was the weather so good?
It seemed that the court was doing well. Otherwise, even if he had such interests and hobbies, he would not have the time. Even if he squeezed for time, the Emperor would not let him go.
For a moment, he did not know whether to rejoice or..,Lucky?
“Nora…”
When Xie Xian heard Xiao Baoxin’s voice, he subconsciously grabbed a Tao Te Ching from the table and covered it with it. The picture book was wider than the Tao Te Ching, revealing a small part of her indescribable back.
Seeing that it was useless, he smiled.
He tried his best to be calm, but he was not very successful. The corner of his mouth was a little stiff.
“Are you done? I heard that you were having dinner, so I didn’t go in to disturb you. The Yang Family? After that, he went to the Xiao family.”
Apparently, they had heard the news that Imperial Censor Xiao was sick.
Jiankang City could still cause waves without wind, let alone the Xiao family, who was in the limelight. The main reason was that the Xiao family’s main branch had been full of good news for the past year. It seemed that the old appearance had changed, while the second branch had been in frequent situations.
From the moment Second Lady Xiao got married, it didn’t end with her death. Instead, it went up a level.
“Second Uncle had a stroke. When I went, my mouth was crooked and my eyes were slanted. After hiring a doctor, he felt better after a few needles, but he heard Second Uncle’s intention to retire.”
Xiao Baoxin pretended not to see Xie Xian’s flustered formation and slowly walked forward.
Taking advantage of this time, Xie Xian placed the two books to the side.
Then, he found a few other books and pressed them on top of it.
In the end, he said in a serious manner,”Have you seen the light?” It was necessary to submit a memorial, but not to the extent of retirement.”
He continued,”Let’s see how Second Uncle recovers. The main thing is to recover as soon as possible.””
“Second Uncle thinks that Yang Shao did it and has already reported it to Jiankang Ling.”Xiao Baoxin sighed.
This time, Xie Xian didn’t say anything. He lowered his eyes and smiled.
This smile was so cold.
“Did you have dinner?” This time, Xiao Baoxin finally stepped forward and sat beside him. Her stomach was a little in the way, so her few movements made her seem so clumsy.
Xie Xian quickly reached out to support her.
“I’ll ask the kitchen to make it for you.”
“I ate some snacks just now, so I’m not hungry yet.’Xie Xian paused for a moment before saying,”Second Uncle’s action is not very wise.”
The Emperor’s wedding was imminent. If Censor Xiao kept biting on Yang Shao’s murder, it would cause an uproar, but he would lose the heart of the Emperor.
Of course, the main reason was that he didn’t think Xiao Jing ‘ai deserved such treatment.
He had already arranged for spies to enter the Yang family. Xiao Jing ‘ai’s actions before he died, the words he cursed, the hatred he had for the Xiao family, and Xiao Baoxin were simply heart-wrenching.
This kind of person would die ten thousand times.
How could Xiao Baoxin not know that Imperial Censor Xiao was purely acting? However, she was a junior and it was not appropriate for her to comment.
“..He loved Second Lady. I didn’t realize it in the past, but it was Second Niangzi who wanted to marry Yang Shao, and after her reputation was ruined…” She said,” Maybe it’s guilt? Did he think that Second Lady was like this because she didn’t have a mother to teach her?”
Actually, she didn’t know the exact reason and didn’t want to know.
“Everyone has their own fate.” she said.
“You are my fate.””
His fate, his law.
[Xiao Baoxin: Are you obsessed with the picture album?] Why was she talking so sticky…
Xie Xian was embarrassed. Xiao Baoxin was too straightforward, and his gaze fell directly on the thick stack of books. One could imagine that this person had sharp eyes and saw everything.
“I’m just… You have to study it well.” He twisted his body and felt uncomfortable. “In the future, we should always spar more.”
I’m still young.. I can’t hear, I don’t understand, and I don’t want to understand!
