Chapter 569 - 569:1 Smile When I See You
Xie Xian didn’t go with Sikong Xiao and his brother, and returned to the Xie residence.
At this time, it was the end of Si Shi, and the sky was somewhat overcast. Halfway through, small snowflakes began to fall. Xie Xian returned to the residence and first took off his cloak. He then warmed up in the outer room for about a quarter of an hour, and only went into the inner room when there was no more cold air on his body.
There was a charcoal fire in the house, and the doors and windows were tightly shut. As soon as he entered, he was greeted by a wave of warm air.
Tangli and Cai Wei were serving tea and pouring water at the side, bragging about Xie Yan’s beautiful face.
Even Xie Xian couldn’t help but laugh when he heard this. He then looked at Xiao Baoxin, who was lying on the bed with his mouth twitching. His eyes were almost rolling over his head. Clearly, he couldn’t stand this flattery.
Her complexion was very good. She didn’t know if it was because of the heat, but her cheeks were slightly red. There was finally some color in them.
Seeing Xie Xian enter, the two maids, Tangli and Caiwei, immediately shut their mouths and left the room. There was already a night pearl in the main house that shone day and night. They did not need to illuminate the entire world anymore.
“How is your body?’’ Xie Xian stepped forward gently. Ever since he came in, his eyes had not left Xiao Baoxin, as if they were glued to her face. “Have you eaten?”
Xiao Baoxin originally wanted to sit up and chat with him, but before he could sit up, he had just propped up his arm when Xie Xian immediately pressed him back onto the couch.
Xiao Baoxin:
“I want to sit up. I’ve been lying down for the whole morning. I’m quite tired.”
Only then did Xie Xian realize that he had done something bad out of kindness. He smiled and said,”The Imperial Physician and Doctor Xue said that you must take good care of yourself and not tire yourself out.”
Xiao Baoxin thought to himself, Isn’t this what every pregnant woman says?
“I’m just tired from lying down.”
“Tve already eaten lunch. What about you? You definitely haven’t eaten, right?” I’ll ask Cai Wei to go to the kitchen and get them to prepare some dishes for you.”
“You don’t have to worry about me. I’m an adult. How can I starve to death?”Xie Xian didn’t care at all. He only cared about Xiao Baoxin. When he suddenly found out that she had been knocked into premature labor yesterday, he was scared out of his wits.
Looking at Xiao Baoxin now, his mind was still a little dazed, and even his eyes were a little floating.
Xiao Baoxin naturally noticed his abnormality.”Are you tired from yesterday?
Why don’t you lie down and rest for a while?”The two of them chatted casually.
.. I heard from Cai Wei that Butler Xie was replaced by you?”she asked. As far as she knew, Butler Xie had served three generations of the Xie family and had always had a high status in the Xie family.
Xie Xian replied softly.
“If you are careless, you will be punished. Otherwise, the people below would always think that he was a fish that had slipped through the net and would be negligent in doing things.”
“Seeing that he is already old, I did not make things difficult for him. I only asked him to retire.”
If it were anyone else, without the decades of master-servant friendship, it would be light for them to kick the Xie family out.
It could be said that if it wasn’t for Butler Xie’s unprepared judgment of the situation and allowing Cai Yuanshi to enter the residence, Xiao Baoxin’s unexpected disaster wouldn’t have happened yesterday.
“I haven’t heard anything. Is Ah Yan still sleeping?”She asked about her son.
Obviously, he was unwilling to talk about it.
If it was in the past, he would definitely bring up Xiao Baoxin to talk about the disputes in the imperial court. However, the doctor had instructed him, and he had read about it in medical books, to think less during the confinement period and maintain a happy mood.
Of course, there were also many other concerns such as not eating cold food and not using cold water.
Before Xiao Baoxin gave birth, Xie Xian had already trained a batch of the people around her under his command. They were already familiar with the things to pay attention to during the confinement period.
Speaking of Xie Yan, Xiao Baoxin had an instant of uneasiness.
She did not communicate with her old son at all. There were people around her Firstly, it was inconvenient to talk. Secondly…She had suffered quite a bit of stimulation and still needed time to recover. She had also heard some of the things that a pregnant woman needed to pay attention to. She still understood, so she should try her best to be more open-minded.
“Ah Yan doesn’t like to cry and make a fuss. I wonder if he’s asleep. I’ll get Cai Wei to go over and ask.”
After calling out to Cai Wei, it didn’t take long for Nanny to come over with Xie Yan in her arms. The child’s eyes were wide open, and he looked like a quiet little handsome man.
If Xiao Baoxin could touch him at this moment, he would definitely be able to hear the voice of the Tao Te Ching in his heart.
This was something he had learned from Father Xie. It was used to calm his mind and ease his nervous emotions.
It was his first time facing his biological father in this life, and he, Xie Yan, was nervous.
Xie Xian’s name had been like thunder in her previous life. Although she had heard Xie Xian say many nasty things in her mother’s womb, she had also heard many things about the imperial court and scheming against people’s hearts.
He knew that Xie Xian was not easy to fool. He was afraid that he would accidentally give himself away and get skinned.
At that time, the son of his love rival in his previous life would become his in
this life, and he would be over forty years old…
If it were him, he wouldn’t know how to face it.
When Xie Xian’s smiling face appeared in front of ‘zhen,’ he subconsciously gave Xie Xian an awkward but polite smile.
“Ah, Young Master smiled at Lord Lang. This is really fate given by the heavens.”Nanny said in surprise,”I’ve never seen it before. It must be the karma of my previous life and the fate of this life.””
It was purely an awkward bragging.
However, Xiao Baoxin felt guilty and gritted his teeth silently.
This old son of hers was indeed worthy of being an emperor in his previous life. He knew who was the boss in this family and was actually smiling when he was flattering his father. Why didn’t he just call him Abba?
I’ll throw you into the temple to get rid of the evil!
“As the saying goes, no father and son without enmity, and no husband and
wife without resentment.”
Nanny Nanny shut up,’Is that what she meant?
Smiling at you the moment I see you. It’s clearly a good karma. However, she had also lost her mind to say the words of the mistress of the house.
Xie Xian did not think too much about it. Seeing his son laugh, he laughed as well. He trembled as he took Xie Yan from the nanny’s hands, afraid that he would accidentally break his son’s neck.
“Is that so…Is there a problem?”
Carefully hugging him in his embrace, Xie Xian looked at Xie Yan who had obviously calmed down, his pair of black and bright eyes however became moist, his heart surging with emotions.
Last night, the entire manor was in chaos, and Xie Xian was completely focused on Xiao Baoxin.
Finally, after confirming that Xiao Baoxin was safe, Xie Yan was already surrounded by Mother Xie and Lady Yuan. Xie Xian only glanced at him from afar and did not hug him. At that time, he still had many matters to deal with, including the memorials to the Holy Emperor in the residence and the palace.
It was to the extent that he only managed to see his son properly now. Xie Xian could no longer remain calm when faced with the son he had been waiting for for nine months.
Xiao Baoxin saw this.
“Mother came this morning and said that our son looks like you.”
She felt a little guilty when she said that. She couldn’t do anything about the core inside. Fortunately, she still looked like Xie Xian, especially those slender eyebrows. The shape was extremely beautiful.
“He’s my son. How can he not be like me?”Xie Xian smiled, revealing his pearly whites.
I glanced at Xiao Baoxin.. Why do I feel like I’ve done something wrong?
