I’m not just raising a mistress, I’m giving birth to a son, I’m not just a son, I’m still the eldest son
If this matter was blown up and brought back to the residence, not to mention her face, she was afraid that Madam Wang would not be happy to see it happen just by splitting the property.
However, this matter could not be hidden. Madam Wang would find out sooner or later.
After Xiao Baoxin heard Xie Xian’s words, he opened his mouth wide and didn’t come back to his senses for a long time. He didn’t expect that the Xie family still had such a big melon–planted in someone else’s land and was dug out.
“.. Does Grandmother know?” she asked.
Madam Wang would definitely not be happy. Although the problem was that he was a son raised outside, a son was still a son. Mother Xie would probably pity the descendants of the Xie family and not let them wander outside.
“I’m afraid Third Uncle hasn’t had the time yet. He’s looking for connections everywhere to bail out the Cheng family.””
Madam Cheng was that flirtatious widow.
Although he had not known Madam Wang for long, Xiao Baoxin could tell that she was not a kind person based on his intuition. Even her own daughter was in the wrong, but she could still stand up and want to get back at her. This was not a kind person.
Moreover, it was such a big matter.
The Strange Dao had told her not to come close these few days and not to rush to become cannon fodder. Women who lost their rationality were the most terrifying, especially the vicious type like Madam Wang.
“Do you think that the sudden exposure of such a matter is related to the Crown Prince or the Wang Clan?”Xiao Baoxin suddenly asked.
Xie Xian was stunned. He did not expect Xiao Baoxin to be so sensitive to politics.
“I can’t say for sure. We can only take it one step at a time. If they were behind this, they would definitely have other tricks up their sleeves. After all, if such a scandal was exposed, it would at most be considered a private matter. It was the third branch’s matter. The Xie family wasn’t under the control of the third branch, so they weren’t involved in the big picture.”
He had also thought of it, but everything was still unknown. He could only wait and see.
From the looks of it, the censor had indeed submitted a memorial to impeach Third Master Xie. The greatest loss of the Xie family was just a loss of a noble chancellor.
The position of Chancellor was extremely lofty, and it was a recognition of one’s family background and personal cultivation and knowledge. However, this was a icing on the cake, so even if he lost it, it wouldn’t affect the overall situation.
If it was done by the princelings, then there would definitely be other moves. The sword had a point and would not do useless things.
Speaking of the princelings, Xie Xian seemed to inadvertently mention the marriage of Xin ‘an King. After a lot of twists and turns, Emperor Yu Heng thought of the Xiao family far away in Shu.
The Xiao family of Lanling was a top aristocratic family of the previous dynasty. They were of noble birth and the current head of the family was the governor of Ningyi Prefecture.
He didn’t choose the Xiao family previously, but the Xu family was the best choice. Secondly, the current head of the Xiao family, Xiao Huang, had a strange and serious personality, and he did not like Emperor Yu Heng.
Now that the sixth lady of the Xu family was gone, the young ladies of Jiankang City were either engaged or did not have a prominent family background. There were very few who could match the age of Xin ‘an Prince.
Emperor Yu Heng also looked far ahead and immediately thought of Xiao Huang.
Although he didn’t really love this person, it was fortunate that his family background was sufficient. He was an aunt and nephew of the Xie family’s old lady. Xie Qing addressed him as uncle, which could be considered a roundabout way to tie him up with the Xie family. It could be considered another alliance that Emperor Yu Heng had thought of.
“Uncle’s youngest daughter’s name is Ning, and she’s fourteen years old. She’s half a year older than Xin ‘an Prince, but she’s still a year older. The emperor’s meaning was that they should hurry, afraid that someone would take advantage of the loophole.”
“The Emperor has issued an imperial edict, ordering Biao Uncle to bring his family to the capital, and the person he specifically wants to bring is this Biao Younger Sister. They will probably arrive in about half a month at the latest. The Xiao family doesn’t have a house in Jiankang, so they will have to rest at our house first.”
Xiao Baoxin nodded and suddenly thought,”
“Biao Younger Sister Ning is already fourteen and still hasn’t gotten married?”
“Cousin’s mother passed away a few years ago. Although Cousin Aunt had chosen a few families for her when she was sick, before she could decide on them, she was gone. Three years had passed in a flash, and those who should have married had already been married. Cousin Uncle was also a man and was not good at these things, so it had been delayed.”
“Well, I’m getting old and I’m getting anxious. Last month, I wrote a letter to Grandmother to see if Jiankang has a suitable candidate. 1 don’t know how the Emperor heard about it.”
However, this matter was not handled properly. He only said that his daughter looked decent and did not even send a portrait. He did not even have an accurate estimate of her height, fat, or thin. How could he let people know?
Grandmother was in a dilemma. She had never seen it before, so how could she choose?
What if the man was a beauty lover, but his niece didn’t have a choice? After all, if he took after his father, there was a limit to how good-looking he was.
However, since the Emperor had taken a fancy to it, the Xie family could not interfere first. Everything could wait until Xiao Huang brought his daughter to the capital.
If she really met him, even if it was not satisfactory and she did not have a relationship with Xin ‘an King, it was still not too late to find someone for her.
“.. The Emperor really took great pains for Xin ‘an King.”Xiao Baoxin shook his head repeatedly. He was going all out for his son.
‘Why did he suddenly stop and press the button? 1 just tasted the sweetness.
Xie Xian thought so in his heart, but he didn’t say anything. He acted as if nothing had happened and said to Xiao Bao Xin,”Not only for the Xin ‘an Prince, but also to compete with the Wang Clan.”
“What’s the point of being the emperor? Isn’t it to be below one person and above ten thousand people? The royal family was being held back everywhere. It was already hard enough for them to endure all these years. Emperor Yu Heng was a proud person. His favorite concubine had just been killed, and then he was led by the nose by someone to even mess up the marriage arrangements for his son. Even ordinary men could not stand this anger, let alone the Emperor who had just lost his beloved. He was about to lose his rationality.”
“The emperor has been thinking about using the aristocratic families for many years. How many years have he been doing it…”
“This time, we are merely betting on the emperor’s face…”
The two of them chatted for a while, and Xie Xian felt a little tired. He ordered the Cloud Servant to take a bath while not forgetting to tell Xiao Baoxin to wait for him to come back and continue chatting.
After he took a bath, Xiao Baoxin queued up again, and this went on until the third watch.
Xie Xian was also drowsy, but when he saw the beauty coming out of the bath, all his sleepiness disappeared.
He slapped the bed heroically and called Xiao Baoxin,”The lights are blown out, the two of us are deep in the chat.”
Xiao Baoxin:

Xiao Baoxin still wanted to ask Xiao Ning about her temperament. He told her all this because he wanted the two of them to be on good terms. At least, he wanted her to entertain him when he stayed in the Xie family.
In the end, there was no gossip throughout the night. When she woke up the next morning, Xie Xian had already gone to court.
“Can your body handle this?”Xiao Baoxin sighed. She was originally worried that he would leave early and return late, and his body would not be able to take it. However, Tangli, who was on night duty, heard it clearly. He had indeed been tormented at night and even asked for water again.
She was also an unmarried woman. When she heard Xiao Baoxin’s words, she was stunned and thought wrongly. She immediately blushed..
