Sikong Xiao was focused on hitting his son. Madam Xie could not stop him and followed behind Sikong Xiao anxiously. The servants in the courtyard looked at each other in dismay and were frightened. In the entire house, only Xiao Baoshu noticed Xiao Baoxin and ran straight towards her. A gust of smelly wind blew at her.
“Sister, you’re back! You’re finally back! Save me! Father wants to kill me!”
Sikong Xiao’s eyes finally didn’t turn red. The broom stopped a foot above Xiao Baoxin’s head, and as expected, the grass and dust on it shook off her head and face.
Then, the entire world fell silent.
Even Madam Xie’s footsteps that ran over were silent. Then, Xiao Baoxin’s mother could not suppress her laughter.
“Hmph, I’ll let you off for now on account of your sister’s face. You just wait and see. The damned child was becoming more and more unbecoming.”Sikong Xiao threw the broom aside and walked out of the courtyard with his hands behind his back as if nothing had happened.
“Oh right, you don’t have to enter the palace again after you come back, right?”Halfway through, he suddenly realized that something was wrong and quickly confirmed it.
“Have a good rest. In the afternoon, we’ll have a chat in the front yard.”
“.. Yes.” Xiao Baoxin silently took out a handkerchief and wiped his face. Xiao Baoxin had already run away. Only Madam Xie could not close her mouth from smiling. She went up to wipe her face and ordered the servants to fetch water.
After busying herself for half an hour, Tangli and Cai Wei came over with a light pink dress for her to change into after she had washed up and dressed up.
It was only when Xiao Baoxin heard Madam Xie recount the whole story that he knew that Xiao Baoshu’s beating was not unjust.
This fellow befriended all sorts of people, so he learned about the customs of the north by word of mouth. In the morning, he would beat a dung pile with a stick so that he could get what he wanted.
The so-called wish was actually a myth. A merchant asked for a maidservant from the Lake God. With the help of the maidservant, all his wishes were fulfilled. However, on the first day of the first lunar month, if she got up late as she wished, she would be beaten by the merchants. She could not bear it anymore and ran to the dung pile to jump into it, disappearing without a trace. The merchant called out as he swept the dung with a broom. Later, it spread throughout the north and became a custom of praying for everything to go well.
Xiao Baoshu followed suit and also learned from others to hit the dung pile, but did he not think that the winter in the north was the same as the winter in the south?
In the north, it was hard, but in the south, it was completely different.
No matter what, Xiao Baoshu was the young master of the Sikong Clan. His status was noble, so how could he let him see such things in the residence? So, he asked people one by one. Night Fragrance had long been gone. Where was he going to fight?
So he staggered out of the door, carrying a broken stick and knocking around. In the end, it was also a coincidence that some unethical person had pooped on the side of the road and let him knock twice. Not only did it splash on his clothes, but it also splashed on Li Sanlang, who was passing by.
Li Sanlang and Xiao Baoshu were about the same age, but their temperaments were poles apart. He was a very simple and stubborn young man.
The Xiao and Li families were not far apart. They lived at the end of an alley. They had been neighbors for at least six or seven years. However, Li Sanlang and Xiao Baoshu had always been at odds. When they were young, they had fought a lot. Therefore, Li Sanlang had buried himself in martial arts and could be considered to have made some achievements. Then…The two of them stopped playing together. According to Xiao Baoshu’s thinking, if he could not fight, he could still hide.
Although Sikong Guan Xiao did big things, he didn’t bully the weak and use his status to interfere in the affairs of the young men.
Although the Xiao family didn’t care, it didn’t mean that the Li family didn’t care. No matter what, he was an old leader who had fought under Sikong Xiao and was promoted. Therefore, he scolded Li Sanlang a lot.
In the end, the two of them fought. No matter who won or lost, they would still be beaten up when they went home.
Li Sanlang was already angry enough that he was splashed with feces, but Xiao Baoshu said,
“Everything goes well.”
It was originally a blessing, but she wanted to explain why she was so free that she came out to hit the dung pile and splashed it on him.
Li Sanlang was so angry that he couldn’t care less about his family’s repeated discipline. He rushed forward and punched Xiao Baoshu.
Xiao Baoshu could not do anything else, but he was the best when it came to getting beaten up. He had learned it from his father and sister. Although it was painful, he was not beaten down. He raised the stick that was stained with feces and fought back.
The beating didn’t hurt, but Li Sanlang was beaten until he was covered in shit.
Fortunately, it was almost noon, and there were many people coming and going. They were all familiar faces, each with their own side. No one took advantage of it and dispersed.
Xiao Baoshu was smelly, but he didn’t show off anymore. He went home after the war.
In the end, good news did not go out, but bad news spread far and wide. Qingxi Alley was in an uproar, and the first to spread was the servants of each family. When the Xiao family’s butler heard this, he did not dare to hide it and reported to Madam Xie.
Who knew that Sikong Xiao had just returned to the courtyard and heard the news. He rushed out of the residence in a rage and bumped into Xiao Baoshu who had returned to the residence.
Especially Xiao Baoshu’s stinky feces, it was like adding oil to the fire, exploding at the slightest touch.
Then, it was the scene that Xiao Baoxin saw.
After hearing that, Xiao Baoxin was speechless. Had he been beaten up too much since he was young and become so tough that he didn’t even take it seriously anymore?
“Daughter, can you enter the palace to see Princess Xuancheng? Be nice to others, be nice to your mother, be nice to your child, be nice to your child, be nice to your child, be nice to your child, be nice to your child, be nice to your child. Just based on Boshu, you should also look up to Princess.”
Madam Xie pulled Xiao Baoxin’s hand and sighed. “With Baoshu like this, why don’t he climb up and find someone he can’t afford to offend? I’m worried that he’ll cause trouble outside all day and get beaten to death.”
‘The princess is the benefactor of the Xiao family.’
‘If she isn’t a princess, who would be willing to marry their daughter to such a random person?’
Madam Xie was worried sick.
However, it was undeniable that Madam Xie’s thoughts did make sense. Xiao Baoshu’s lack of focus made Madam Xie worry, and Xiao Baoxin sometimes couldn’t sleep at night.
She was already fourteen years old, but she was always so heartless and lived so self-centered. She was truly convinced.
She stayed in the main courtyard and told Madam Xie about Princess Xuancheng’s situation in the palace, which made Madam Xie worry again. She had not even married into the family yet and she was already her daughter-in-law–to be precise, her benefactor was so doting.
“What a pitiful child. He lost his mother at such a young age.”If it weren’t for the palace walls separating them, Madam Xie would probably want to bring him back to the residence to take good care of him and cultivate a relationship with her son.
After chatting for a while, they started talking about Xiao Baoxin’s wedding. Then, Madam Xie had told the Guan residence to prepare for the marriage.
The corner of Xiao Baoxin’s mouth twitched. He clearly heard Madam Xie’s inner thoughts.
She had stayed at home for the past few months purely because she was afraid that she would go out and cause trouble again. She was afraid that the Xie family would go back on their word and she would be an old lady who had broken off her engagement three times in this lifetime.
“Although you are careless, you are going to get married soon. Even if you pretend, you should learn needlework for me for a few days, lest your in-laws laugh at you.”
‘As long as I live these few months peacefully and peacefully, people are forgetful. After a while, my reputation will improve. Who cared if she was still embroidering ducks or weeds, it was true that she did not go out and cause trouble.’
” This daughter and son are all debt collectors.. What golden boy and jade girl? They’re clearly a pair of male and female demons!’
