Back then, Xiao Jing ‘ai had met Emperor Yong Ping on the street and had a private conversation with him.

However, at that time, her heart and eyes were filled with Yang Shao, and she did not put him in her eyes at all. He was very enthusiastic and forced the topic. Xiao Jing ’ai looked back at the past and felt that one wrong step led to more mistakes.

With this kind of feeling, he went all the way to Imperial Censor Xiao’s residence. As she expected, Xiao Baoxin and his wife did not wait for her at all and entered the manor without asking.

When Xiao Jing ‘ai arrived, Yang Shao had already arrived.

Today was his day off and he was supposed to go out with Xiao Jing ‘ai. Who knew that she would leave on her own after a few words in the morning?

He thought that she had gone back to her mother’s house alone, so he rushed over after calming down. It was true that he looked down on her and usually did things perfunctorily, but he still did not dare to neglect the Xiao family. After all, it was his Yue Family, and he had Sikong Xiao, this great Buddha pestle.

Who knew that when they arrived at the Xiao family, Xiao Jing ‘ai was not there at all. Immediately, the fire in her heart rose again. Coincidentally, Sikong Xiao’s family came, so he treated the guests as his son-in-law and greeted them.

Imperial Censor Xiao originally disliked Yang Shao no matter how he looked at him, but recently, Yang Shao and Xiao Jing ‘ai had been a happy couple. His official position had also skyrocketed and he was never liked by the previous Emperor. He had suddenly become the new Emperor’s favorite minister. He still had some skills.

Seeing that, regardless of whether he was favored or not, he still treated the Xiao family the same. He was not warm, but he was definitely not perfunctory. This was how this person did things. Gradually, he opened his heart and really treated him as his proud son-in-law.

Other people didn’t know the inside story, but Sikong Xiao knew it clearly. He pinched his eyes and looked down on Yang Shao.

In his previous life, he had let his daughter down, and in this life, he might not be sincere towards Second Lady.

Wasn’t the so-called merit of following the dragon given to him by his good son-in-law? At that time, it was also an urgent matter. Otherwise, how could such a big pie fail on his head?

The whole family sat together and chatted, but they all had their own plans in their hearts.

When Xiao Jing ‘ai came, no one greeted her. Yang Shao felt ashamed for her.

No one else in his family could make her like this.

She was clearly Xiao Miaorong’s half-sister, but she was closer to her than Xiao Baoxin, who lived next door.

But when Xiao Miaorong saw Xiao Baoxin, she was like a dog looking at a bone. No, it was just that they were so close that they could not stand it anymore.

They surrounded Xie Xian and squeezed him to the side. They were talking and laughing, making people envious.

Madam Xiao, on the other hand, did not embarrass Xiao Jing ’ai because of her identity as his stepmother. However, she could tell that she was not very friendly with him. After a few words, she turned to Madam Xie and talked about Xiao Baoshu, who was far away in Jingling.

Once this topic was brought up, Madam Xie could not stop.

The child is thousands of miles away, the mother is worried and hateful. She can only dream at home. She doesn’t eat well and doesn’t sleep well every day. As a result, Xiao Baoshu only wrote a letter to her family when she learned that Xiao Baoxin was pregnant. After that, there was no news. If it wasn’t for Sikong Xiao’s trusted aide, she wouldn’t even know if he was alive or dead.

Bao Shan was a thoughtful person and had sent someone to send a congratulatory gift back to the capital to congratulate his second uncle.” In the half a year that Xiao Baoshan had been gone, Madam Cai had been in frequent contact with her family. Madam Xie also missed Andu and sent some Jiankang gadgets to Jingling from time to time. The children’s inner and outer clothes were made by the best tailors in the city. From inside to outside, from top to bottom, there was no shortage of items or silver.

“Bao Shan and his wife have spent a lot of money.”

“How did you come here with Second Lady?”When Xiao Miaorong heard the maid say that, she was so shocked that her eyeballs almost fell out.

If these two sisters didn’t stick together, they wouldn’t be able to get along. “He went to the Xie residence to celebrate with Biao Younger Sister Xiao.” After Xiao Baoxin greeted the elders, he and Xiao Miaorong sat at the side and whispered.

“The weasel is definitely up to no good when it wishes the chicken a happy new year.’Xiao Miaorong coldly snorted.

She had grown a little longer and was almost as tall as Xiao Baoxin. Her appearance was more and more beautiful, but her aesthetic taste was very consistent. As usual, she was dressed to the extent of being dignified and old-fashioned. She was clearly only fourteen, but she looked like a person who was twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.

She didn’t like her hairpin and jewelry either. In Madam Xiao’s words, she didn’t know who she inherited it from. She cried and begged her to dress up every day, but in the end, it was only this result. He had clearly given her a good set of matching items, but in her hands, she could dismantle and combine them into something that you wouldn’t recognize.

“Sister, you’re already three months old, right? You seem to have gained weight.You’ve put on a lot of weight, and your face has become round…”

She was also as straightforward as usual.

Xiao Baoxin admitted that he was indeed injured.

” Your height.” Xiao Baozhen glanced at Xiao Miaorong’s body from her neck to her waist. “It also developed.”

As he spoke, he brought up Xiao Miaorong’s marriage. Originally, the two families had agreed to marry after a year, after Xiao Miaorong turned fifteen. However, the plan couldn’t keep up with the changes. Chief Justice Xi’s health had been deteriorating recently. Minister Xi wanted to hurry up and get married as soon as the three-month mourning period was over.

This disrupted the Xiao family’s rhythm.

Since the marriage had been arranged and there were no scandals about the groom’s family, Imperial Censor Xiao naturally agreed. It was hard to say what happened to the elders in the family. If something happened to Chief Justice Xi, Minister Xi would have to retire and stay away from the political center for at least three years.

Although Xi Sanlang was a grandson, he couldn’t get married for at least a year.

If he delayed, who knew what kind of accident would happen.

Therefore, the two families discussed and set the wedding date for September.

Xiao Miaorong was now the bride-to-be.

At this point, Madam Xiao was full of bitterness.”.. This child had not yet been enlightened. She only taught her how to be a housekeeper and she wanted to give up everything. Fortunately, San Lang was the son of a concubine, so she had no right to be the housekeeper. But why did you say that a small family closed its doors? You had to stand up, right?”

“I’m so angry that I want to strangle her. It’s also my fault. I always thought that it was still too early and indulged her, teaching her to be lawless.” ‘Second Shen will bring two more reliable stewards over to Third Niang so that there will be someone to take care of her.”Xiao Baoxin smiled,”Third Aunt is intelligent, but she’s used to being free and unrestrained.””

“She can’t be unfettered. Although she’s from an aristocratic family, she’s still a bastard son. It won’t be easy to get along with her if she marries over.”At this point, Madam Xiao’s face was full of envy.

“How many people like Xuan Hui, who have a high position in the court, are so concerned about you? Others couldn’t even be envious.”

“Our big lady is still blessed.”As he spoke, he stared at Xiao Baoxin’s stomach..
