Chapter 615: Not Taking the Ordinary Path
Translator: 549690339
Acting and acting.
She was just the wife of a foreign official. There was really no need to be so polite with her. Just do what you should do. Everyone was relaxed and happy. Dealing with Empress Xiao was already tiring enough. She really didn’t want to be distracted by dealing with Emperor Yong Ping.
They were not tired, but she was tired of watching the show.
After leaving the palace, she returned to the Xie residence as if she was escaping. She didn’t care if it was raining heavily or not. Even if a knife was used, it wouldn’t stop her from wanting to go home. If she continued to stay in the harem, she would suffocate to death.
Empress Xiao had changed. She had too many schemes in her heart.
But Xiao Baoxin also had no right to blame her. After all, no one could truly empathize with the pain of Empress Xiao losing her son. Even if she had that innate skill, she could at most feel Empress Xiao’s emotional fluctuations. She would never know the pain until it hit her body.
If anyone dared to lay a hand on her son, even if it was an old son she was not close to, she would never let that person off.
What compassion? What letting go? It was her kindness not to give him a taste of his own medicine. She had a bottom line when doing things and did not lay her hands on children.
However, the mother who did it was not merciful to her. She sent that person to the afterlife with a knife.
Therefore, although Xiao Baoxin was like a mirror, she still did not have any ill feelings towards Empress Xiao. That was the heart of a mother.
He was conflicted like this until he heard the news that Xiao Baoshu had returned to Jiankang. Xiao Baoxin was overjoyed.
She had not seen Xiao Baoshu for more than a year and had not beaten him up.
She missed him so much.
This child was too big-hearted. She could not write many letters in a year. The only one she received a few days ago was another arrogant one that cost 258,000 yuan. She hated him so much that she gritted her teeth.
Unfortunately, he was not by her side and she could not beat him up.
The next day, he didn’t care that it was still drizzling. He sat on the folding calf cart and went straight to Sikong Manor.
Xiao Baoshu was brought to Taiji Palace by Sikong Xiao. He was prepared to meet the Emperor after the morning court session and explain why he had returned to Jiankang two days earlier.
The Xiao family was now a noble family and had made contributions to the dragon. Sikong Xiao was only more cautious than before.
Who knew that Xiao Baoxin waited for half a day, and even after noon, there was still no sign of him returning to the manor.
Madam Xie pulled Xiao Baoxin along to chat about their daily life. Previously, her saliva was flying everywhere as she was afraid that Xiao Baoshu would return too early and delay their gossip. In the end, there was nothing to gossip about and Xiao Baoshu did not return.
Madam Xie was furious. Did she think she was a gossipy woman? There really wasn’t so much to gossip about!
“Your father is also unreliable. Why don’t you send someone back to tell us what’s going on and let us wait in vain?””It’U be fine, right?
“What’s going on?”
“Your father said that Baoshu’s early return was a crime of deceiving the sovereign.”There was no one left to serve her in the room. Madam Xie still looked around cautiously and lowered her voice, as if she was a spy.
He listened and said half of the story. He skipped the part where Xiao Baoshu said he was going to head back and leave Jiankang City and pretended to be back on the day.
Xiao Baoxin was confused.”
“Maybe Abba is scaring Boshu. Mother also knew Boshu’s personality, he was too lawless.”
She was afraid that after marrying the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng and becoming the live-in son-in-law of the royal family, Xiao Baoshu would use his power to run amok and do whatever he wanted.
What Xie Xian meant was that Emperor Yong Ping felt sorry for his sister and did not want the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng to go far away. After they got married, he wanted to keep Xiao Baoshu in Jiankang. However, she also knew that her father still wanted Xiao Baoshu to guard the place. He was afraid that if he offended too many people, even the Emperor would not be able to protect him. If that happened, Daliang would be in great trouble.
“This child is just being scared.” Madam Xie said,” But I don’t think Baoshu was scared. Instead, he scared me to death. Even in my dreams, Baoshu committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. His family was raided and exterminated. Before he was beheaded, he even made a scene at the execution ground. I was so scared that I was covered in sweat.”
She was so frightened that she kicked the ground and woke up, kicking Sikong Xiao until his face turned pale. This was husband and wife gossip, but Madam
Xie didn’t say anything.
Xiao Baoxin couldn’t help but laugh.” Mother, you don’t have to be so scared. The Xiao family has followed the dragon. As long as they don’t commit the crime of conspiracy and rebellion, they won’t be exterminated.””
Mrs. Xie hesitated.
She wanted to say that she should never underestimate Xiao Baoshu’s destructive power. However, she thought about it again and said that her son was not good. It would seem like a mother was unkind and unfilial.
Truth cannot be said in the light of the truth
In short, he was not in Jiankang City. When she came back, she was on tenterhooks and annoyed.
In the past, Xiao Baoshu was just a young man, a little silkpants. There was a limit to his acting, and it was all within the scope of Sikong Xiao’s protection. Now, he was the Anbei General himself, an upright third-grade military officer with real power. He had power in his hands and soldiers under him. The trouble he caused had to be promoted according to his rank.
At that time, he was afraid that the disaster would also advance with the times, and Sikong Xiao would not be able to cover up even if he wanted to.
He wanted to keep the treasure tree under his eyes, but he was afraid that his eyes were too shallow and could not accommodate a great Buddha like him. He trembled and said to Xiao Baoxin,”What do you think we should do? I can’t bear to do that either.”
“I heard from Xuanhui that the emperor wants to keep Baoshu in Jiankang. Ah Niang also knew that the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng was the Emperor’s younger sister. The siblings had different feelings since they were young, so they naturally could not bear to let Xuancheng marry far away.” Madam Xie:” Since the Emperor wants to stay, then so be it. When the Emperor can’t hold it anymore, we’ll talk about it again…
These words were too honest. Xiao Baoxin could not refute.
Xiao Baoshu had the ability to make you love and hate him. It was like this in the past, but now that he had grown up, it was unknown if he had changed. However, if Emperor Yong Ping could really give it to him, it might not be a bad thing to stay in Jiankang. Such a ‘good thing’ could only wait for Emperor Yong Ping to worry. At least in the short term, their Xiao family would be reunited.
Anyway, the wedding was in October, and a conservative estimate was that he could stay in Jiankang for a year and a half.
Madam Xie hesitated again.
Thinking about the dagger that Xiao Baoshu had prepared for his nephew, which was stained with countless people’s blood, she still felt that her son’s brain was strange and different from ordinary people. Even if he had grown up, the path of his growth would be different from others. His growth would also be more distorted.
She just could not understand. A daughter who was rebellious, arrogant, and domineering. Of course, this was before marriage. After marriage…What was more, he had people say that Xie Xian had been subdued and was afraid of his wife like a tiger. However, seeing that her daughter and son-in-law were in a lovey-dovey relationship, she let them off for the time being. His son had been playing with cats and dogs since he was young.
The two of them didn’t talk about each other. They were both walking on unusual paths.
But looking at Xiao Baoshan, although his surname was also Xiao, he didn’t crawl out of her stomach. Instead, he was quite obedient.
Thinking about it carefully, was it his fault?
It was her. She was actually the culprit who gave birth to these two extraordinary goods?
Madam Xie couldn’t accept such a huge blow.
She didn’t think that she would overthink things now that her children were here. No matter how big-hearted she was, she was still a little hurt..
