The corner of Xiao Baoxin’s mouth twitched. She really didn’t do it on purpose. She rubbed her stomach with one hand and hugged Xie Xian’s slender waist with the other.
She was really not interested in listening to ‘Zhen’s’ complaints. At the very least, the small intimacy between husband and wife… There were clearly two people, but now there was one more out of nowhere. Moreover, it had the soul of an adult.
It was as if he had eaten a fly.
“What’s wrong?” Xie Xian smiled and caressed her back. Her body was a little stiff. She was always shy when being intimate in front of everyone, unlike her decisive personality.
“They all went out. Did you miss me these past few days?”
Xiao Baoxin decisively moved his hand away from his belly and cut off the communication with ‘Zhen’.
However, she didn’t move closer to Xie Xian. When the two of them got together, they would inevitably say some dirty words. She really didn’t have the mood to let a third person see it, and her heart felt very awkward.
As long as this ‘zhen’ was not born, would she have to live a day of being ‘spied on’?
Recently, Xie Xian had been in the Palace, and ‘Zhen’ had only surfaced for a few days. The two of them had not been together, so Xiao Baoxin had not thought it through. Now, he had thought of it…
But no matter how she thought about it, she felt awkward.
“I don’t want to.” Xiao Baoxin raised her jaw and smiled like a little mouse who had stolen two catties of sesame oil. If Xie Xian couldn’t tell that she was being sarcastic, his eyes would have been dug out.
Xie Xian’s heart could not help but waver when she looked at him with her small eyes.
In order to prevent Xie Xian from saying something inappropriate, Xiao Baoxin hurriedly said,
“It’s not just me, but my grandmother at home. Why don’t I miss you?” They’re all thinking about your body. I can tell that you haven’t rested weIl.”He changed the topic and brought up his elders, cutting off his thoughts.
T am in her stomach, so I can’t be charming.
“Yesterday, the chef at home wasn’t careful and cooked the rotten meat. As a result, everyone in the house vomited and had diarrhea. Grandmother was unfortunately poisoned, but fortunately, she didn’t eat much. She drank the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician and recovered today. I was afraid that you would be distracted in the palace, so I didn’t tell you.” Xie Xian nodded, not noticing that Xiao Baoxin was changing the topic. “Then I’ll go see Grandmother first and talk to you when I come back.’As he spoke, he walked out. Coincidentally, he had not changed his clothes and his cloak was still untied.
Xiao Baoxin walked him out.
“Should I get someone to prepare dinner?”
“Alright.” Xie Xian left after saying that.
Xiao Baoxin let out a long breath and then gritted his teeth. This scourge in her stomach had delayed her many things.
However, this kind of situation could not be ignored. If there was anyone who
was more unwilling to let this happen, it would definitely be him.
That was an even more awkward existence than her.
Xiao Baoxin couldn’t imagine what it would be like for an adult to be reborn as a fetus. A fetus like Xiao Erniang had the freedom to come and go. He couldn’t walk or talk in his stomach. If it weren’t for her, he probably wouldn’t know what was going on even after he was born.
Xiao Baoxin called Cai Wei in and asked the kitchen to prepare dinner.
“.. They were all stored in the kitchen a while ago. They only needed to pick a few fresh dishes to cook. You told them to be careful with the ingredients and throw away the bad and unfresh ones. Unlike two days ago, the whole city was nervous, afraid that they would run out of food. Therefore, once I find out that they have served the unfresh food on the table, I will not be more lenient than Third Shen in Rong An Hall. I will deduct half a year’s salary and that’s it. But in my place, I will directly chase them out of the Xie residence and no longer need to serve the Xie family in the future.”
It had to be said that Xiao Baoxin was more concerned about Xie Xian’s food than his own.
She always felt that although her skin was rough and her flesh was thick, she was definitely much stronger than Xie Xian who could be blown away by a gust of wind. All those years of training were not in vain.
” Furen can rest assured, now everyone in the residence knows that Furen is ruthless and merciless–No, this servant is saying–” Cai Wei could not find the appropriate words to describe it, but she knew that what she had just said was not a good word. Fearing that she would be annoyed, she hurriedly said as she retreated:
“They definitely won’t dare to be negligent. This servant will personally go and watch them!”
“This servant will go now.”
After that night when the Xie family was attacked by thieves, it was even more effective than when Xiao Baoxin beat up the maid, taught Xie Shan a lesson, and intended to establish his authority. Now, who in the entire family did not give Xiao Baoxin a thumbs up?
However, after giving her a thumbs up, she had to follow up with, He could not be provoked.
In the current Xie residence, Xiao Baoxin’s words were more useful than Madam Wang or even Mother Xie.
Madam Wang and Mother Xie were magnanimous and knew that it was not difficult for them to be servants. Xiao Baoxin, from the moment he entered the door to killing the enemy at midnight, was vicious and merciless.
Cai Wei’s words were already said in an embrace, why would she need to look at her?
However, he still had to take the blame for his quick mouth. In order to show that he was meticulous, he watched until the food was put into the pot.
The chef felt his hair stand on end as he stared at Xiao Baoxin. He treated it as
Xiao Baoxin’s order and did not dare to neglect it at all.
The vegetables in the manor were all stored five or six days ago. It was really difficult to find fresh ones. Fortunately, they were smart and put the vegetables in the ice room. They were placed not far from the ice room. Although they were not as fresh as those that had just been picked, they were not rotten.
He picked out a handful of vegetables from the basket in the time it took for an incense stick to burn. Then, he took out the frozen fish slices and made porridge.
The eight dishes, along with the soup, took more than an hour to prepare. They were sent into the main house one after another under the watchful eyes of the Wei picking eagle.
At this moment, Xie Xian had already returned. The dishes on the table were steaming.
Xiao Baoxin stepped forward and took off Xie Xian’s cloak. Seeing that Xie Xian’s expression wasn’t very good.
“What’s wrong? What did Grandmother say?”Xiao Baoxin asked softly.
However, Xie Xian slowly shook his head. He was obviously worried about his health.
His grandmother was worried about him, but how could he not be worried about his grandmother?
Grandmother still doesn’t look well. Should we continue using the medicine?” Yes, Imperial Physician Wei said to continue for three days. These few days, you just have to eat gruel and not touch any other oily smell.”Xiao Baoxin put his cloak aside and pulled him to sit in front of the table.
“You don’t look too good either. You haven’t been eating well these days, have you? He could nourish himself when he got home. It’s just that you came back in a hurry and the kitchen didn’t prepare it in time. I asked them to make ginseng chicken soup again tonight. You can have another bowl later.”
“Grandmother, you don’t have to worry. Her mental state is quite good.”
Xie Xian sighed. He glanced at her and suddenly asked,”Is mother-in-law used to living here?”
After a pause, he continued,
“I just remembered to greet mother-in-law when I came back, but I don’t know where mother-in-law lives.”
It was already very rare for him to have this kind of heart. After all, his mind had been busy dealing with military affairs these days, and he had to take care of all aspects when he returned home.
Mother will leave at noon. You can eat in peace..”
