Chapter 331: Shameless
Translator: 549690339
Sun Sheng’s case was considered to have ended hastily. On the surface, the Crown Prince did not seem to have suffered any injuries, but only he knew how terrified he was every day. He was afraid that one morning, the Emperor would issue an imperial edict and the Crown Prince’s position would be gone. What should he do? He should tuck his tail between his legs and behave.
At least in the eyes of outsiders, the Crown Prince was keeping a low profile.
The main thing was that he had to keep a low profile. He was ordered by the Emperor to reflect on his mistakes in the Eastern Palace.
Those who could avoid the Crown Prince also avoided him and did not go up. In the limelight, even the Wang Clan did not dare to go up.
Only the Xie family dared to run to the Eastern Palace at this time because they had to run. After all, they had injured the Secondary Consort and even caused the Crown Princess Consort to have injuries on her face.
Madam Yuan did not ask Xiao Baoxin to step forward. Her son had offended the Crown Prince so much that it was equivalent to having someone remove his arm. She did not have the heart to let her pregnant daughter-in-law get close to him. Who knew when the Crown Prince would go crazy? If he hurt the child again, the gains would not make up for the losses.
However, they couldn’t just not express anything. If others said that they didn’t know how to deal with people, they wouldn’t show any expression when they hurt someone.
Thus, she specially asked for two bottles of ointment from the old Imperial Physician Wei. It had the effect of removing scars and beauty. The Crown Princess did not care whether she used it or not, but she did. In addition, he put two lingzhi mushrooms in a sandalwood box and handed them to Madam Wang.
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

After Madam Yuan said this, the corners of Madam Wang’s mouth almost twitched to the corner of her eyes.
There was really no need for her to praise him like this. If her eldest son caused trouble and asked her to take responsibility, why didn’t she say that the Xin ‘an King, who they were on good terms with, had something good for her to do?
However, he really couldn’t reject it.
Who asked the great madam to speak up? The eldest branch was their daughter-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter-in-law. The three branches should be their slaves. He could not think of anything good, but he could think of her when he was cleaning up someone’s mess. All these years, she had not been depressed. It was all thanks to her generosity!
On the same day, he went straight to the Eastern Palace with the things that Madam Yuan had prepared.
It wasn’t until he paid his respects to Mother Xie the next day that Xiao Baoxin finally saw Madam Wang, who had obviously been holding back her anger and had yet to digest it all after a night.
Just by looking at Madam Wang’s green face, Xiao Baoxin knew how wise his mother-in-law was and how wise it was to pluck it for him.
Madam Wang didn’t want to expose herself like this either. The more she thought about it the whole night, the more aggrieved she felt. Although she was the daughter-in-law of the Xie family, she was born into the Wang family. Madam Yuan had asked her to come forward for this reason. The Crown Prince hated the Xie family, but he should at least think about the Wang family. After all, the Wang family was the Crown Prince’s external family, and they were the ones at his beck and call.
The Crown Princess still cared about her reputation outside, the Emperor’s opinion, and the Wang Family’s face, so she politely invited him in.
Who knew that the Crown Prince had heard about it somewhere and actually openly came out to mock and ridicule her. The Crown Prince had returned everything that the Crown Princess had accepted. If she had not left quickly, he would probably have personally called a eunuch out to chase her away.
Although Madam Wang was not Empress Wang’s biological sister, they were still separated by a room. They were both direct descendants of the Wang family, so how could they be related to the Crown Prince?
In the past, relying on the fact that her maternal family was the Wang family and her in-laws were the Xie family, the two great aristocratic families had formed a strong alliance. Madam Wang was successful wherever she went in the circle of noble ladies in Jiankang City. Everyone looked up to her, and even Empress Wang was proud of her. She was a proper cousin.
Who knew that the Crown Prince would be so generous and disowned, causing Madam Wang’s face to be so hot that it did not go down until the second half of the night.
In front of Mother Xie, the whole family, including Xiao Ning, began to complain.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Madam Wang was also present when Secondary Consort Sun scalded her, she wouldn’t have let Xiao Baoxin off. If it wasn’t for the instigator, she wouldn’t have lost her face. However, even if she wanted to deny it, she had to have a reason. This matter really couldn’t be blamed on Xiao Baoxin. He wasn’t beating up Secondary Consort Sun.
But if she didn’t say anything, she would die of frustration.
Mrs. Wang was two years older than Xie Laosan. She had maintained herself well, but in the past six months, she had aged.
This year’s New Year had not been smooth sailing. First, Xie Laosan had gone overboard and had an eight or nine-year-old son. He even wanted to bring Widow Cheng into the manor. Then, he had offended the Crown Prince and caused her to lose face.
“.. It was I who made Third Shen worry. If it wasn’t for me, Third Shen wouldn’t have to suffer this.”Xiao Baoxin still knew how to speak. He licked his lips and went forward to comfort Madam Wang.
If she went, they might fight.
It wasn’t that she wanted to fight, but the Crown Prince couldn’t let her go.
Madam Wang felt a little better. It was better to have these words than not.
“It has nothing to do with you. If you want to blame someone, blame the one who threw the teacup down. If we don’t fight back, do we just wait to be smashed?”She sighed,”I’m already in my forties, but I can’t keep my old face.”” Mother Xie smiled.

It’s all because of me. “But it’s not appropriate for me, a mother-in-law, to make you proud. Quick, Baoxin, pour a cup of tea for your third aunt. We can’t let your third aunt make a trip for us in vain and embarrass herself.”
Mother Xie’s voice hadn’t fallen when Zhilan had already filled the cup with tea and brought it to Xiao Baoxin.
Xiao Baoxin strode over to Madam Wang with a cup of tea in his hands and handed it over with a smile.”! have troubled Third Shen and made Third Shen suffer for me.”
Not only did she serve tea, but she also wanted to learn from the maid and wait for her to rub her shoulders. Who knew that when she touched it, Madam Wang’s tea almost did not spit out. Mother, did she complain that she was too talkative?
With this strength, he felt like his head was about to be taken off his neck by her.
“No need, no need. You’re pregnant and have the precious great-grandson of the Xie family. 1 don’t dare to trouble you.”Madam Wang hurriedly waved her hand, not daring to accept her solicitous attitude.
Other people’s solicitous attitude would at most be accompanied by a smiling face. Xiao Baoxin’s solicitous attitude could be fatal. Even if she did not care about her life, she was afraid that her neck would not be able to withstand it.
Who was Xiao Baoxin? Others might not know what Madam Wang meant, but she did. She had heard everything.
She knew that Madam Wang was not being polite, so she left as she wished.
She had good intentions, so she didn’t want to be scared sick.
“Maybe my hand was too heavy, but I’m really sorry to Third Aunt. Who would have thought that the Crown Prince would be so crazy?”
Xiao Baoxin’s words were definitely not shirking responsibility. Anyone would think so too.
Having Xie Xian scheme so miserably, the Emperor treated him as a thorn in his side, and it was only a matter of time before he lost his power. Who wouldn’t want to do that to an ordinary person? To put it nicely, it was called keeping a low profile. To put it bluntly, it was called tucking one’s tail between one’s legs.
However, the Crown Prince was not an ordinary person, and he did not live as he should in the eyes of others..
