Chapter 130: Chapter 130-Don’t You Want Face?
Translator: 549690339
Madam Xiao’s face turned red. She thought so too, but Second Brother Xiao had already decided. What could she say as a stepmother?
“Why? Are you going to let Yang Shao choose the wife of our Xiao family? Sister-in-law, is Second Uncle bullying us because your brother isn’t around and slapping our eldest branch in the face to embarrass us?”Madam Xie didn’t even drink the tea in her hand and threw it on the table.
He was so angry that his head hurt and his face twitched.
“Do you still want to be relatives?” Madam Xie had risen to prominence. She dared to mention this matter openly behind Boss Xiao’s back. She must have been furious.
Madam Xiao listened and let Madam Xie continue. The second branch was about to bury themselves in the ground and apologize.
“Aisin, Second Brother didn’t mean it like that. He was afraid that Second Mother would act up and trample on our Xiao family’s face.”
Madam Xiao quickly repeated the private words that Second Master Xiao had said to her with emphasis.
“If Second Brother and 1 could do whatever we wanted, we would never agree to Second Mother’s request. She’s so young and so full of tricks. In order to marry someone, she’s unscrupulous. However, even if she could not stand it, she could not let her throw the Xiao family’s reputation on the ground and let others trample on it.”
“To be honest, I think that the Yang family has already ruined their entire family.”
“.. Second Brother had offended many people these years. He was afraid that Second Mother would cause trouble again and become the subject of gossip, bringing trouble to the Xiao family. All these years, the two brothers were brothers. In order to glorify the Xiao family, they were even willing to put their lives on the line and fight on the battlefield. How difficult it was to accumulate this family business. Who would have thought that their children would not be able to do it and end up with Second Mother…”
“Sister-in-law, 1 won’t hide it from you. I’m worried to death, and I’m on tenterhooks. I’m afraid that she’ll do something evil and ruin Miao Rong’s marriage.”
As she spoke, tears began to fall from Madam Xiao’s eyes. It was difficult to be a stepmother. She and Madam Xie were both stepwives.
Madam Xie was different from her. When Madam Xie entered the house, Xiao Baoshan was already an eight or nine-year-old boy. He had never raised a child before. However, Xiao Jing ‘ai was different. As a woman, she had spent a lot of time in the backyard. She had taken care of her personally when she was young, but the more she grew up, the more distant she became. Ever since she found out that she was not her biological mother, she had been awkward in everyway. When she was awkward, Mrs. Xiao also felt that mutton could not stick to dog meat, and her heart to take care of her had faded. This was the end of it.
Who knew that although she looked like a dog on the outside, she had unknowingly gone astray and abandoned her family and career for a man. She did not care about anything and did not care about anything.
What face, what reputation, they were all greater than a man, and he even threw his face in front of the emperor.
If the Emperor accepted it, then it would be fine. If others wanted to gossip, with the Emperor in front of them, they would not be able to say anything too unpleasant.
However, the emperor did not even bother with this. This was awkward. As an unmarried young lady, she actually took the initiative to ask for a wife. If one were to say that the child was willful, if one were to say that she was older, she would say that she had been promiscuous since she was young.
Madam Xie sneered.” You know how hard it is for you. Do you even care about how hard it is for us?” I’m not saying this out of anger. If I marry Yang Shao, how will my relatives move around in the future? It’s not that you haven’t seen Second Mother’s face, it’s just short of slapping me, Bao Xin’s face.”
“It sounds nice, but they have a deep sisterly relationship. For our Baoxin, she offended the future mother-in-law of the He family. 1 don’t think that was the case back then. She probably took a fancy to Yang Shao long ago and used Baoxin to build a raft, taking the opportunity to break off the engagement. She knew how to step on others to become the county head.”
It was a rare truth for Madam Xie.
Madam Xiao actually thought the same.
“That’s right. At such a young age, she has used all her scheming on crooked ways. I was also thinking that I should quickly send her out to marry someone so as not to lose the face of our Xiao residence.”
It would have been better if he hadn’t said this, but after saying it, Madam Xie became even angrier.
“What do you mean? You want to get married before our Baoxin? Don’t you even care about seniority?”
“Alright, 1 get it. You guys can do whatever you want. When my master comes back, we’ll split up immediately!”
Madam Xiao was instantly scared silly.” Sister-in-law, 1 didn’t mean it that way. 1 was just thinking about it. I really didn’t want to go past Auntie.”
Daliang was particular about the order of seniority. All marriages were conducted from the oldest to the youngest. Unless there was a hidden illness or they could not marry, if they married past the sisters in front of them, not only would the person who married be criticized, but even the sisters who were passed over would also be criticized.
Mrs. Xiao really wanted to marry that scourge Xiao Jing ‘ai off, so she was too quick with her words and ignored Xiao Baoxin. It was her fault.
“Sister-in-law, don’t lower yourself to my level. I’ve really been tormented by Second Mother until my head is dizzy. Second Brother Xiao has been arguing with me because I didn’t educate him well. I also lost my composure for a moment…”
Madam Xie was too lazy to continue listening. She was angry and resentful. Xiao Jing ‘ai was young and frivolous, so she was disgusted. The second son and his wife did not do things properly. They clearly did not put their first wife in their eyes. They were talking about the future of the Xiao family, so they had to admit defeat.
She would suffer any loss except for her children!
Madam Xie asked someone to send Madam Xiao away.
Madam Xiao had been married to the Xiao family for many years. Her relationship with Second Brother Xiao was average, but she had always been harmonious with the eldest sister-in-law of the eldest branch. She had never even blushed. He immediately got someone to carry him out.
She felt aggrieved and went back to the second branch to quarrel with Second Master Xiao. She blamed Second Master Xiao for giving birth to a daughter without proper upbringing, and Second Master Xiao blamed her for not being able to speak clearly and making her anxious. The couple quarreled for half the night, and in the end, they unanimously scolded Xiao Jing ‘ai. This was all her doing!

Madam Xie was filled with anger. After chasing Madam Xiao out of the door, she came straight to Xiao Baoxin. Xiao Baoxin had just finished practicing his boxing and was feeling refreshed. Madam Xie’s ridicule successfully swept away her good mood.
Actually, this kind of situation was long within Xiao Baoxin’s expectations.
What else could he do? Second Uncle wouldn’t really send Xiao Jing ‘ai to the temple to be his sister-in-law.
He wouldn’t be reluctant to part with her, but he couldn’t say the reason. Unless he made a huge mistake, which little girl would be sent to be a nun for no reason?
“This is really hard on Second Shen.”Xiao Baoxin sighed.” Mother, you don’t have to be so angry. Second Uncle’s reaction is within my expectations…”
Madam Xie snorted coldly.” I didn’t mean to cause trouble for her, but what the second branch did was really disrespectful to our eldest branch.” If we agree to it, we will be looked down upon.”
“In my opinion, it’s better for this family to be separated. In the future, when the Second household really married Yang Shao, the relatives would have to move around. How awkward would that be? Moreover, only the heavens and earth know what the Second Mother did. Can’t this matter be spread? If this gets out, Yang Shao and Second Mother will get what they want. The one who will be laughed at will definitely be our eldest branch, your Eldest Lady Xiao!” “You can let it go, but I can’t let it go. Why are you the one who makes people laugh when they do shameless things?”
“We definitely can’t back down on this matter.. Your second uncle is shameless, but are we shameless?”
