“Your sister and I have already agreed on a date to meet again.” Xiao Baoxin laughed heartily. Thank you for your thoughtfulness.”

Xie Xian nodded his head slowly when he heard that. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes were like clear springs. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Xiao Baoshu’s shrill cry. He finally noticed her and ran over with a blank expression. As he ran, he shouted,

“Sister, Sister! I’m here-”

“Eh, thank you, thank you…” After thanking him for a long time, he didn’t know how to address Xie Xian. He was familiar with Yang Shao and Pan Shuo, so he could be rude to them. However, when Xie Xian stood to the side, his anger was reduced by two sections, so he didn’t dare to call him that casually. In the past, when Pan Shuo was beside him, the atmosphere would naturally be heated. Now that he was alone, he didn’t know how to talk to Xie Xian.

Xie Xian didn’t take it to heart.” You’re Aunt’s son, so you should call me cousin.”

“What? Is this okay?” Xiao Baoshu scratched his head. How did his mother become Xie Xian’s aunt? He still didn’t understand, but this didn’t stop him from calling out,”Cousin.”

Good or bad, you called out quickly.

Xiao Baoxin silently rolled his eyes.

She didn’t know what this Xie Xian was planning. He cared about their family, was gentle and humble, and had a graceful bearing. He was just like a good nephew to her mother and a good brother to her brother.

It was clearly filled with heaven and earth, but it was hard to see through.

Xiao Baoshu had obviously turned his attention back to his sister.”Sister, are you okay? Just now, I saw Madam Yin pull a long face and look green. It’s so late at night. You didn’t suffer, did you?”

“Shut up.” Xiao Baoxin gritted his teeth. Was this something that could be widely publicized outside?

Outside the palace gate, you are already talking about the imperial court’s imperial concubine. Do you believe that the palace guards will come out to arrest you and sue you for the crime of false discussion?

“The sky is already dark, Lady Xiao must be very tired, why not return to the residence first.”Xie Xian suggested.

“No, I was worried about Elder Sister. Mother and I couldn’t stay in the residence any longer, so we rushed here to wait for you. Mother said that if Madam Yin bullies others, she will also go and complain to the Emperor! Mother is also waiting for your news!”

Before Xiao Baoshu could finish his sentence, Youmei lifted the curtain of the carriage. Madam Xie had already gotten out of the carriage and was about to walk over to her.

Although his mother was silly and his brother was a hothead, it felt good to have his family backing him up.

Xiao Baoxin silently withdrew his hand and took a few steps forward to welcome him.

“Daughter, you’re finally out. I was so worried…” Madam Xie hugged Xiao Baoxin and was about to wipe away her teary eyes. Seeing that Xie Xian was still beside her, she forcefully held back her tears.

“Hello, Aunt.”

I don’t know what our Jia Bao Xin did this year. It’s not a good year. If my daughter isn’t good, how can I be good?”Madam Xie’s face was full of worry, and her eyes were green.

Xiao Baoxin looked up at the sky and thought,”The other party was just casually paying his respects. How could he not complain so seriously?”

“Mother, everything is fine now. Let’s talk when we return to the residence.”Xiao Baoxin stopped Madam Xie and led her to the car. It was already dark and the drums were beating. If they continued chatting, would they want to stay up all night?

If this continued, the palace guards would come out to chase them away.

“Everything is fine. The emperor knows that Eldest Lady Xiao was wronged and the person who poisoned her has been found. The net of justice is long and unrevealing. Aunt, please feel at ease.”Xie Xian followed behind Madam Xie and calmed her down easily.

“Cousin, you asked me to call you cousin, but why are you calling my sister Lady Xiao?”Xiao Baoshu shouted, as if he was discriminating against his sister and he felt indignant.

Xie Xian lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. Then, he turned to Xiao Baoxin and called out softly,”Cousin.”

.. How was she a cousin?

Were the great clans so casual about recognizing relatives nowadays?

But what did he mean by looking at her with such a rippling gaze?

“Virtuous nephew, this matter still needs you to put in a good word in front of the emperor. Your cousin’s reputation can be considered to have been dragged down by the Yuan family. At that time, I was possessed and thought that the Yuan family was a good one. Who knew that they were so shameless?”

As Madam Xie spoke, she let Xiao Baoxin help her into the car.

He was instantly dumbfounded,[Where am I?] What did I do? Why am I in the car?

“.. Mother, the moon is dark and the wind is strong. We can’t keep chatting outside the palace, right? If outsiders were to spread the news, it would not be pleasant to hear.”Xiao Baoxin smiled apologetically at Xie Xian. Her mother had a natural desire to pour out her heart, and Xie Xian had somehow caught her mother’s eye. She would pour out all her heartfelt words in front of him.

She had no choice. Her mother’s world was all about looks.

Xie Xian’s temperament was warm and gentle, making people feel like they were bathed in the spring breeze. He did not feel threatened at all, so her mother treated him as half a confidant.

Madam Xie raised the curtain.”You see, I’m only worried about Bao Xin. Virtuous nephew, your body is weak, and after a busy night, you still have to enter the palace to share the emperor’s worries. Quickly go back to the residence to rest, don’t tire yourself out.”

Xie Xian smiled,”Thank you for your concern, Aunt…” Don’t worry, the Emperor is wise and won’t allow the Yuan Family to slander your daughter’s reputation. Biao Younger Sister is upright and not afraid of the shadow.”

After saying that, he smiled at Xiao Baoxin.

Xiao Baoxin’s heart skipped a beat as he thought that he was in high spirits after a joyous occasion, and the smile on his face never stopped. He finally understood her concept of justice. He felt that everything she said was right and good. Even if he said the same thing as others, she felt that what he said was more pleasant to the ear.

Tonight, there were no stars or moons, and it was all the stars ‘fault. It made Xie Xian look gentle and tired, and his beauty was a little intoxicating.

“Yeah, I said the same thing! Sis, don’t worry. I’ll beat up whoever dares to spread rumors about you again!”Xiao Baoshu jumped onto the front of the car and sat down, interrupting the instant that Xiao Baoxin and Xie Xian looked at each other.

“Then we’ll return to the prefecture.” Xiao Baoxin bowed slightly and immediately got into the car.

“Goodbye, Aunt.”

Even when the ox-cart was gradually moving further and further away, Xie Xian was still standing at the same spot and looking into the distance.

Qingfeng and Mingyue silently looked at each other and stepped forward to put the cloak on Xie Xian.

“Lord Lang, it’s too late.”

Xie Xian’s gaze was retracted after a long time. He lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly.

“Lord Lang, Eldest Lady Xiao’s engagement must be canceled now.”Qing Feng couldn’t help but say. If he couldn’t see that his master was interested in Lady Xiao, then he would have wasted his ten years of waiting by his master’s side.

His master looked gentle and refined, but he was extremely conceited. When had he ever been so eager?

Just as he was about to continue speaking, Xie Xian suddenly shot him a cold gaze. Qing Feng shuddered and hurriedly shut his mouth. He has overstepped the boundaries of the country

The Yuan family boasted that they were an aristocratic family. Their methods were really despicable. It was Lady Xiao’s blessing to break off the engagement with such a family!”

There were good eyes, but Ming Yue was obviously not. He said excitedly,”It’s a pity that Lady Xiao is beautiful. The world is unfair to women. I’m afraid that even the engagement will affect Lady Xiao’s reputation. I don’t know if she will marry into a good family in the future.”

“Mingyue, sit quietly and think about your own mistakes.””Do you think you can joke about a girl’s reputation?” Xie Xian said coldly. After returning to the residence, he went to Uncle Zhong to receive his punishment.”

Uncle Zhong was in charge of the rules in the mansion. He punished women for their crimes, from the maids and servants to the housekeepers and stewards. Anyone who made a mistake had to be punished by him. He was extremely ruthless.

“Yes, Master.” Ming Yue’s face turned pale..”
