Chapter 665: 665-Instigating Fire
If Madam Xie had not seen that her son-in-law was here and that she was still a mother-in-law, she would have smashed the bowl on the spot.
However, no matter how hard he tried to suppress the fire, he still felt that his throat was burning.
“Daughter, you have to teach Boshu a lesson!”
In the past, he was afraid that your father would walk around. When your father glared at him, he was so scared that he could even walk smoothly, let alone beat him up. Now look! Ever since he made a contribution on the battlefield and got the emperor to confer him the title of Anbei General, he didn’t take your father seriously anymore.”
“Let him reflect at home, and he’s strutting out-not even sneaking, he’s strutting!”
What, after becoming a general and marrying a princess, your father and I can’t control him anymore?! Was it okay if he didn’t beat him up? Wouldn’t it be heaven?”
This fire was really strong.
Xiao Baoxin saw that Sikong Xiao’s face had turned green. His mother said that she wanted her to beat him up, but she was afraid that Sikong Xiao would be too heavy on him. If he were to hit him, he might break it.
However, he was clearly complaining to her, which made Sikong Xiao so angry that he stabbed his lungs with knives.
She was afraid that if she continued, her father would be able to break Xiao Baoshu into three pieces even before it was her turn to make a move.
“Mother-”
Look, before she could finish her sentence, Sikong Xiao slammed the table first. Obviously, Madam Xie had done a good job of raising the fire. The veins on her forehead were popping out of anger.
Men!” Sikong Xiao said angrily,” Go and capture Xiao Lang!””
At this moment, Sikong Xiao’s military background was revealed. He wasn’t a servant or butler, but those soldiers who used to be under him and were now guards of the Xiao Manor.
They had all been soldiers before, so they were not that good at figuring out the emperor’s intentions.
However, the matter of ‘capturing’ the young man had always been their job. There was no need for Sikong Xiao to point out his name and shout at the top of his lungs to know that he was calling them.
“Yes, sir!” There would be a loud response from outside the courtyard, followed by the people quickly scattering to carry out the order.
Xie Xian thought, “How efficient.”
Sikong Xiao was furious, but he knew that he couldn’t just leave such a good son-in-law hanging on the spot because of his unfilial son. However, he was a martial artist after all, so he didn’t hide his emotions. His face stiffened for a long time before he returned to normal.
I ve let my good son-in-law see this. It’s rare for you to come back. The day after tomorrow, I’ll be ready to go to Xu Prefecture. It can be considered as fulfilling my wish. We can’t let that unfilial son affect us…Your mother is right, that unfilial son should be beaten up.”
He had to be beaten up ruthlessly, the kind that would last for half a year. Otherwise, if he went to Xuzhou, what would happen if no one in the family could take care of Xiao Baoshu?
Her daughter was already married, so it was not good to cause trouble at her in-laws ‘house. It was not something glorious.
Sikong Xiao gritted his teeth so hard that it made a loud creaking sound. It was too embarrassing!
“Let Bao Xin hit him! They’re close sisters, so there’s no enmity between them.”
If this beating did not land on Xiao Baoshu, Madam Xie would not be able to rest in peace.
“Bao Xin is pregnant, what if he stretches out again?”Sikong Xiao looked at his wife as if she was a monster. It turned out that it was Madam Xie who told him this. When she was pregnant with her first child, she was worried that her daughter would hurt her stomach because she was in a hurry. It was as if she was not her daughter.
Madam Xie was embarrassed. Oh no, she had forgotten that her daughter was pregnant.
When she looked up, she saw Xiao Baoxin looking at her calmly. That pair of big black and white eyes blinked, causing Madam Xie to blush.
“Look at you. I was just saying that, but it really made Bao Xin make a move! “Madam Xie glared at Sikong Xiao guiltily.
What could Xiao Baoxin say? Having a second child wasn’t worth anything. His mother had completely ignored him.
Why didn’t she let her big belly go to the battlefield to kill the enemies on behalf of her father?
“Mother believes in my skills and knows that I know my limits. It’s not a problem for me to beat someone up.”She had no choice, mother. If she didn’t give her a way out, who would?
That s right. It wasn’t like Baoxin hadn’t been pregnant before. He knew his limits.”Madam Xie said happily. It was good that her precious daughter was not angry with her. “However, it’s better for your father to beat people up himself. If he doesn’t teach his son, who else can?”
With one sentence, he pushed away the blame and stripped himself clean. SikongXiao,”She said everything…”
“Boshu is sincere and magnanimous. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have caught the emperor’s eye. My son-in-law believes that to have raised such an outstanding daughter like Baoxin, Baoshu would definitely not be wrong.”
It was obviously a compliment, but when Madam Xie heard it, her face turned red and she felt guilty.
Daughter…
Alright, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
However, if she and Sikong Xiao were to say that they had raised such outstanding children, wouldn’t that be a mockery?
It was as if the Xiao family was not the one who was mocked by the crowd.
“Mother, to be honest, the emperor values Baoshu because he definitely saw the brilliance in him. As the saying goes, flaws cannot obscure the jade. There is no need to be too harsh on Baoshu.”
There was nothing more beautiful than a mother. There were some things that Xie Xian could not say too clearly, but when Xie Furen heard it, it was inevitable that there would be a misunderstanding.
Who asked Xiao Baoshu to be so famous? It was normal for Madam Xie to be so confident that she was not praised.
It was not the time to fight. Now, Xiao Baoshu was fighting the children of aristocratic families and officials. They were not class enemies.
Compared to Madam Xie, Sikong Xiao thought a little deeper. Of course, there was a limit to how deep he thought. He was not a deep person.
For a good son-in-law to say such words, he must have seen through the Emperor’s intentions.
“Then, I’ll leave Baoshu to you, good son-in-law.”
Sikong Xiao was a martial artist, so he didn’t have that many twists and turns. Even if he was really asked to, he wouldn’t be able to do it. He didn’t have that brain. On the other hand, Xie Xian, who had a head and was obviously more crooked than others, did not stand on ceremony with his son-in-law.
They had been married for more than a year, almost two years. Sikong Xiao could also see Xie Xian’s attitude towards his daughter. He was someone worthy of being entrusted.
Although he was more scheming than a sieve, he treated his daughter well and did not hide anything.
Whether it was the imperial court or the royal family, there was still his son- in-law who he could not understand.
Sikong Xiao was able to achieve this honor today because he was very open- minded. He didn’t have so many schemes. He would treat any good plans and constructions seriously.
He could even trust his subordinates wholeheartedly, let alone his son-in-law.
To put it bluntly, regardless of seniority, he absolutely followed Xie Xian’s lead, and he would follow wherever Xie Xian pointed. Ever since the new Emperor ascended the throne, the Xiao and Xie Families had made great contributions to the dragon. They were definitely tied to the same warship. He did not have any political sensitivity, but he could still understand this point.
