Translator: 549690339

Lady Yin didn’t understand. Other than her face, what else was there about Lady Xiao that people would take a fancy to?

The Yuan family needed the Xiao family’s help, and the Xie family had always been a top-notch family, so why would they join in the fun?

Lady Xiao would have died if not for the Xie family. If not for the Xie family, the Xiao family would never be able to marry into an aristocratic family again. However, what could she say? Although it was said that they would not be able to get along with each other in the future, they did not get along much now.

Xie Xian had eyes on the top of his head and had never put others in his eyes. This was the same as his damn mother. Besides, she obviously didn’t care about Lady Xiao’s reputation.

On the birthday of the Eldest Princess of the Xu residence, she had felt that something was wrong when she saw her younger aunt and Xie Furen huddling together. However, she had not expected her younger aunt to be so muddle-headed. The son of a dignified aristocratic family, who was deeply favored by the Emperor, could put down her status and marry into the Xiao family.

Who would have thought that she would take things so hard?

“Are you going to let the Xie family do as they please? Did Old Madam Xie know? Chancellor Xie also agrees?” “Aunt, let me give you a piece of advice. You shouldn’t be so stubborn.” Madam Yin smiled maliciously. As women, we need to have someone to rely on. No matter what, we can’t abandon our family. Otherwise, if you offend your in-laws, your in-laws won’t tolerate you. At least you have your family to back you up, right?”

“Don’t let me have no place to cry when the time comes.”

Madam Yuan’s face fell immediately.”In the past, 1 didn’t have a place to cry. Didn’t 1 come over like this? You don’t have to worry about me in the future!”

“Sister-in-law, take care.”

Lady Yin considered herself to be from an aristocratic family and had many relatives. Even if they were unhappy, they would still maintain some courtesy. Her aunt was different from the others. She had never been warm to anyone since she was young. She was like a rock that couldn’t be warmed. Now that she was almost forty years old, she was becoming more and more disrespectful.

Only the good-natured Aunt Rong was like this. If she were the mother-in-law, having such a daughter-in-law would not torture her to death!

Since Lady Yuan had already chased her away like this, even if Lady Yin wanted to fight another few hundred rounds of verbal battle, she had no face to stay here. She was so angry that she turned ashen and left with a flick of her sleeves.

Qing Shuang, the maid who was serving beside him, sighed and advised,””Why must Furen be so angry? At this juncture, we might need the help of Furen’s family…”

Perhaps Lady Yuan cultivated Buddhism, and the maids around her were all kind-hearted and kind.

Madam Yuan waved her hand and sighed.

“You guys haven’t been with me for long, so you don’t know my background. What family do you have to look at? Just my family…! don’t think so.”

Back then, when Xie Shi Zhong was still Emperor Xian De, he had already shown his talents and became the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel at a young age, his fame was unparalleled.

Prince Fu Yingchuan Yu Degong and Xie Shi Zhong have always had an old grudge, each other do not see eye to eye, from different banquet.

Later, the prince killed the king and became emperor himself. Yu Degong followed the dragon and made meritorious service. He was granted the title of servant, middle guard army and tutor. His power was overwhelming in the government and the people.

Yu Degong’s ascension meant that Xie Shi Zhong was going to settle accounts. In one night, more than ten Xie clansmen were dismissed from office. Attendant Xie was also not spared.

If it wasn’t for the fact that the princes of various vassal states had risen to revolt and the flames of war had been raging, and the deposed emperor had focused all his attention on fighting to maintain his throne, the Xie family might have been tortured to an unknown extent, and it was hard to say whether Xie Shizhong would have been able to stay alive.

At that time, the Xie family was also in the most difficult time for her. She was like a frightened bird and did not know when she would lose her life.

She could understand why the various aristocratic families avoided danger and did not interact with the Xie family. It was human instinct to seek good fortune and avoid evil. Moreover, each aristocratic family had a large business and was responsible for the success or failure of the entire family.

However, she could not forgive the Yuan Family, her maternal family, for cutting off all relations.

At that time, she was pregnant, but it was a troubled time for the country, so she thought too much and her pregnancy was not good.

From her pregnancy to the birth of her daughter, the Yuan family did not even dare to show their faces, afraid that they would be implicated. When she was about to give birth and was afraid of a difficult labor, Servant Xie begged the Yuan family to come forward and ask the imperial doctor to sit in the house. It was just to calm her heart. In fact, the midwife and nanny had already prepared everything.

The Yuan family rejected him immediately. Not only did they not agree to Xie Shi Zhong’s request, but they did not even see Xie Wan after she was born.

It was only after Emperor Yuheng killed his way to Jiankang and ascended the throne that he promoted Xie Shizhong. The Xie family’s reputation was restored, and the Xie family’s past glory was restored.

Once again, her maternal family, the Yuan Family, took action after hearing the news and once again used their status as in-laws to move around frequently.

Shi Zhong Xie had given her face and restored contact with the Yuan family. However, she knew that the knot in Xie Shizhong’s heart was about to rot. It was just that he did not want to hurt her heart, so he never mentioned it.

Xie Xian had experienced all of this at a young age, so he had always been aloof and cold.

However, she did not know if it was because he had followed her, or because he had experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships when he was young, that caused his current personality to be that of not being close to anyone and keeping a distance from everyone.

Now, it was the same Yuan Family. They were shameless and used their bloodline to order her around. Who gave them the courage and face?

Thinking about it, sharing the same surname as them made her feel embarrassed.

“In the future, if Madam Yin comes to visit again, tell them that I am in seclusion to worship Buddha and will not meet any outsiders.”

Madam Yuan sat for a while more before she returned to the small temple hall and began to copy the Buddhist scriptures without any distracting thoughts.

.. By the time his son returned to Jiankang, everything should have settled.

The Xiao family had no way of knowing that the Xie family was in a mess. The Xiao family was already very busy on their side. Second Master Xiao of the second branch was busy moving, and the eldest branch was busy with Xiao Baoshan’s appointment in Jingling.

If he hadn’t heard from Xiao Baoxin about the impending chaos, Sikong Xiao might not have paid so much attention to Xiao Baoshan’s appointment in Jingling. But now that he knew, he couldn’t help but have thoughts.

The prefect was a local high official and could appoint and dismiss his own assistant history. Sikong Xiao then allocated one-third of the strategists and soldiers to him to take up the post. It was just a side task to protect his son. The main reason was to plan for the future and leave a backup plan.

Sikong Xiao didn’t have the ambition to usurp the throne, but he didn’t have the heart to wait for death. He still had to make the necessary preparations.

He gave one-third of his family’s wealth to Xiao Yu, and one-third to Xiao Baoshan. Although the person in charge of the accounts was still Zhang Ting, Xiao Baoshan had never thought that he would see so much silver.

It was given to him by his father!

Xiao Baoshan was about to cry. It had been many years since he had experienced his father’s deep fatherly love. He hugged Sikong Xiao’s thigh and cried.

All these years, other than Xiao Baoxin, there was only Xiao Baoshu. He thought that he had lost his favor. His father did not scold him, but he did not feel that he was particularly important. Instead, he was not as good as Xiao Baoshu. He was either beaten up or scolded. He was disappointed because there was hope and beat him up because he loved him.

His heart had been twisted until today when the buckle finally undid itself..
