Chapter 459: Flattery For Nothing
Translator: 549690339
After Xie Shan broke off the engagement with the Fan family, even Madam Wang brought her along. She was a little reluctant to marry. Otherwise, Madam Wang could not bring her everywhere she went, even to the Xu manor to pay respects. She just wanted to see more people. What if someone wanted to take her home?
No one would have thought that they would attract such an ignorant person.
No wonder Xie Shan was invited to Xiao Ning’s Graceful Cloud Pavilion. No one would be in the mood for it.
It was rumored that the Third household was now in a state of panic. Two of the old women who had no eyes and were still hiding from idle women were punished by Madam Wang. Each of them was given ten slaps.
The rules in the aristocratic families were very strict. Generally, they would not slap people’s faces and leave them some face.
Madam Wang was also furious and was venting her evil flames.
Xiao Baoxin restrained the maid in Rong An HalL’Don’t spread nonsense. This is related to the reputation of the little miss. If you really offend the third branch, don’t blame me for not protecting you.”
“That’s right, although this servant likes to inquire, her mouth is still tight/’Cai
Wei was all smiles as she proudly patted her chest.

Cai Wei and Xiao Baoxin exchanged glances.
■■This servant really wasn’t chewing outsideC’Cai Wei’s expression changed, thinking that Madam Wang had chased her to Rong An Tang to settle the score.
She looked at Xiao Bao Xin with tears in her eyes,””Madam, save me.”
Was this considered a self-initiated strike?
Xiao Baoxin rolled his eyes. She was the one who had a guilty conscience.
“Don’t be anxious. It could be something else.
It wasn’t that Xiao Baoxin was conceited, but the popularity of the Xie and Xiao Families was right here. Anyone with eyes could see it. Although Madam Wang was arrogant, she knew how to look at the situation. Didn’t she see that everyone had been living in harmony recently?
He really wouldn’t go so far as to find trouble with her just because of a maid. “Hurry up and serve some tea.” Xiao Baoxin gave Cai Wei a look and sent her out. He was also afraid that Madam Wang would be angered by her children’s marriage. Just in case.
As she spoke, Madam Wang came over. Xiao Baoxin hurriedly went forward to greet her.
However, he saw Madam Wang, dressed in a dark black dress and with a head full of pearls and jade, actually walk in happily, stunning Xiao Baoxin. What was she playing at?
Usually, Madam Wang rarely came to Rong An Hall. Xiao Baoxin admitted that he did not get along with the third branch, so he did not go forward. The two branches did not interfere with each other.
Therefore, Madam Wang’s arrival today could be considered abrupt.
“I just heard from the second branch that your sister-in-law hasn’t recovered from her illness. When I came here a while ago, I looked fine. Why hasn’t it improved for so long?”
Madam Wang said with concern,” You know your second aunt. She’s a loner and doesn’t like to interact with others. However, she still cares about her niece. She’s been talking to me about it for the past few days, so I thought I’d ask you when I had the time.” Your third uncle knows a few friends of the imperial physician. Do you want to find the imperial physician to take a look.” “Third Shen is so thoughtful. I thank Third Shen on behalf of Aisin.” “However, the family has never stopped hiring doctors. We have also invited a few imperial physicians. Yesterday, Xuanhui said that he would personally go and invite Old Master Wei to take a look.”
Madam Wang nodded with a face full of kindness.
Xiao Baoxin’s back was about to break out in a cold sweat. He was not afraid of Madam Wang’s needlepoint, but he was afraid that she would be trying to curry favor for no reason. She must have some ulterior motive.
“Xuan Hui is a good person, he misses the Yue family.””You’re a blessed one,” said Madam Wang. As he spoke, he grabbed Xiao Baoxin’s hand.
“In the past, I only thought that the crown was good. You see, as expected, she was pregnant with a boy when she entered the house. Xuan Hui also rose with the tide, gaining a high position at such a young age.
Xiao Baoxin made her shiver. He was trying to push the entire Xie family’s prosperity to her.
He was trying so hard to praise her for a big reason!
“Third Shen is too kind.” Xiao Baoxin said humbly.
Naturally, it was a false compliment. She praised him so much that she didn’t even hear it. If she said it was Xiao Baoxin, Xiao Baoxin would really dare to believe it.
Madam Wang knew that the relationship between the eldest and third branch was awkward. Xie Xian was now the soul of the Xie family, and he had suppressed his two uncles into a background wall. In addition to Xie Shan’s previous actions, she had quarreled with Xiao Baoxin more than once and was even beaten up.
If the Wang family hadn’t fallen, she wouldn’t have been afraid of the chief branch and wouldn’t have put them in her eyes.
However, the imagination was very rich, and reality was very skinny. She never dreamed that the Di daughter of the Langya Wang family would be reduced to such a day. The daughter she was so proud of had to worry about marriage. According to her original thoughts, wouldn’t there be countless people stepping over the threshold to beg?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn the end, he had to laugh with a junior.
Xiao Baoxin had a bad premonition.
However, even though she heard Madam Wang’s thoughts, she couldn’t change the topic. Madam Wang had a glib tongue and did not give her any space to interrupt.
From the moment she was blessed, they started talking about the Cai family. “Tell me, your brother has a very good official career now. He’s only twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, but he’s already a provincial governor. In the future, he and Xuanhui will complement each other internally and externally.” ‘■Sikong Xiao and his wife have taught their children well. Even your brother, who is about fourteen or fifteen years old this year, has already been granted the title of general. He even led troops to fight on the battlefield and serve the country. Who in Jiankang, Daliang, and other places has not heard of our Xiao Baoshu?”
Xiao Baoxin knew Madam Wang’s purpose for coming, and his heart was set. Was this because he had been thwarted by that ugly general who had come to propose marriage, and now he found out that there was a backup like the Xiao family?
“He’s still a loyal and affectionate person…” Halfway through his sentence, he remembered that the memorial tablet of Sixth Lady Xu that Xiao Baoxin married was secretly set up by the Wang family. He immediately changed his tone.
“People say that you have a family and a career. Baoshu has already established his career, so he has to think about starting a family.”
■■Logically speaking, I should be asking Madam Xie about this matter. Don’t I want to tell you first…”
“Third Shen is thoughtful, still thinking about Baoshu’s marriage.’Xiao Baoxin didn’t wait for Madam Wang to finish her sentence and interrupted,”However, Xuanhui told me about his marriage. The emperor also saw that Baoshu was affectionate and righteous, and the princess of Xuancheng was generous and bright, so he decided on their marriage.”
■■After the emperor’s wedding, we will report to the Ministry of Rites.” Madam Wang couldn’t hold back her smile. Although she didn’t say her daughter’s name, her meaning was obvious.
His face was slapped back.
This was something she had never dreamed of.
She even thought that her daughter was marrying down and had mentally prepared herself.
Although the Xiao family was not considered an aristocratic family now, each of them had a bright future. As long as they maintained this momentum, it was not impossible for a new noble family to rise..
