Chapter 973: Don’t Reveal When Scolding Someone
It was true that Xiao Baoshan was their elder brother, but at the very most, they had only been harmonious for a few years. They did not have any feelings for each other to begin with, so they could not afford to be so calculative.
“Actually, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you. That so-called Jiang Corporation was bribed by the Zhou family and sent to your brother. There are many women and servants like this. We really don’t dare to bet. If we really tell the truth, we’re afraid that everything will be exposed.”
“Moreover, there are some things that we both know about.”
Cai Mingzhu was rather embarrassed. It was also because Xiao Baoshan had a black history that the entire family believed it.”As he spoke, he could not help but sigh.
“I truly feel bad for causing you all to worry. However, we were really in a difficult situation at that time…”
One had to admit that the Xiao siblings were really loyal.
It was also because she did not have any deep feelings for Xiao Baoshan and his brother, so she was really helping her vent her anger.
Although she had schemed against Xiao Baoshan, Cai Mingzhu knew about it. She was both ashamed and happy that her brother-in-law was so protective of her. The entire family was on her side. Where could she find another in-law?
Of course, although he was touched, he did not say anything to Xiao Baoshu.
It was also because Xiao Baoshu was really capable and cooperated seamlessly. He punched Nanshan and kicked the Yellow River. He beat up all the people who caused trouble and cleaned up the mess. When he returned to Jiankang City, he was unscathed. On the other hand, the Zhou family was also good. Those families were all killed in front of Emperor Yong Ping. In a few years, they were all dismissed.
Naturally, Xie Xian was involved in this.
From the looks of it now, it seemed like he had cooperated with Xiao Baoshan from afar, and the three of them worked together seamlessly.
However, at that time, Xiao Baoshu and the Eldest Princess were indeed quite heavy-handed and offended many people. Others offended people by the number of people, but he offended them by the number of people.
Xiao Baoshan was secretly on tenterhooks. He was also afraid that the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng would fan the fire too much and they would not be able to hold it.
However, the Eldest Princess was the Eldest Princess. She was really favored by Emperor Yong Ping. She almost pierced a hole in the sky and retreated unscathed.
The matter had passed just like that. No one wanted to mention the matter of scheming against their own brothers.
However, they couldn’t stop Xie Xian from striving for the upper echelons all these years and always being at the center of power. Yet, he was also a meticulous person who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. Xiao Baoshan and his wife felt a twinge in their hearts, and they couldn’t tell whether Xie Xian had seen through it.
He planned to do as he saw fit and take it one step at a time. If he could hide it, he would, of course, hide it. Who was willing to expose his own background? What if Xie Xian did not pay attention to their Jiang Zhou? What kind of glorious thing was it for him to scheme against his own brother, and he even solved the case himself?
Cai Mingzhu silently wiped her sweat. She had made the right bet.
Seeing Xiao Baoxin’s expression today, she felt that something was wrong. Fortunately, she was quite close to her sister-in-law in Jiankang and knew her well.
Xiao Baoxin: ” At that time, I was so angry. Before Baoshu left, he even asked me to instruct him to beat him up first.””
Cai Mingzhu heard this and sighed,” Mother, you treat me so well.””It would be a lie to say too much, but her life was all thanks to Madam Xie and her daughter. She was truly grateful for it for the rest of her life.
She had entered the capital yesterday, and this morning, she had received invitations from the Cai clan before she had even left the house. Some of them wanted to pay their respects, while others invited them over to be guests. They were so enthusiastic that she had once thought that the Cai clan’s previous indifference and disdain towards her were all her imagination.
In this world, there was no lack of icing on the cake, but sending charcoal in the snow was the most rare.
” Last month, I received a letter from my mother asking how Xiao Baoshan had treated me all these years,” Cai Mingzhu recalled, and her eyes narrowed into a smile.”Ah Niang also said that if he was still a dog that couldn’t change eating shit and had other thoughts, she would let me make a big fuss. At most, I would make a big fuss and demote him.”
Xiao Baoxin was silent. His mother was really ruthless. She knew what her brother cared about the most.
“All these years, when my family wrote letters to Jiang Prefecture, Abba had always admonished Xiao Baoshan to cherish his good fortune and live a good life. To be honest, to be able to marry into your Xiao family, I have accumulated eight lifetimes of fortune. My father is just, and my mother is protective.”
“You just married into the Xiao family, that’s not what you say. Wow, that bossy attitude, my mother was so angry that her nose was crooked, and sister-in-law gave us a lot of anger.”Xiao Baoxin teased.
“Scolding people without exposing their shortcomings, hitting people without hitting their faces. How many years has it been?”
Cai Mingzhu rolled her eyes at Xiao Baoxin.” If you say something else, I’ll believe you. You’ve been bullied. I’ve never seen anyone you can’t stand in my life. Which one of them hasn’t been beaten up by you?”
When the two sisters-in-law talked about that year, they could not help but laugh.
Looking back on the past, he was indeed quite laughable back then.
Fortunately, so many years had passed, and people’s hearts had changed. They got along better and better. There was no lack of friction, but their feelings were real.
In the blink of an eye, the children had all grown up. Cai Mingzhu was especially touched. In the past two years, Jiang Zhou’s internal affairs had been pretty much settled. She was also like a fish in water among the women in the back house. Now, she was worried about Mother Jing and An Du’s marriage.
There were quite a few great clans in the Jiang Prefecture, but Xiao Baoshan had offended all that he could, and he had dealt with most of those that he could. As a result, Lady Jing’s marriage was delayed.
Therefore, the first thing he did when he returned to Jiankang was to find a good marriage for Lady Jing. She was thirteen and couldn’t afford to delay it.
Even if they were not transferred back to Jiankang this year, Cai Mingzhu planned to write letters to Xuzhou and Jiankang, asking them to find a good family to marry into.
“.. You have to pay attention to your niece’s marriage. I’ve been away from Jiankang these years, so I don’t know what the situation is like now. I’ll leave Jing Niang’s marriage to you. I don’t want a big family, but a clean and harmonious family. I have a good temperament.”
Cai Mingzhu added,
“You have to hurry up. It’s best if you decide before the new year.”
Xiao Baoxin’s mouth twitched so much that he almost couldn’t go back. He didn’t know what had happened this year, but everyone was looking for her to be their matchmaker.
Didn’t he know that she had a bad temper?
He was really not afraid that she would cause trouble and offend a good family.
“Good!” Gritting her teeth, she agreed. She could not reject the marriage of her niece.
Xiao Baoshan and his wife only left when it was dark. Xiao Baoxin resentfully relayed Cai Mingzhu’s meaning to Xie Xian.
“Am I getting on in years and looking more and more like a matchmaker?”Why was everyone looking for her to pull strings?
Xie Xian smiled. His body reeked of alcohol, but he didn’t drink much. His eyes were clear and black.
“That’s because you have a good marriage. Your husband treats you like a pearl and treasures you. His in-laws are also harmonious and treat you as the most important.”
“Take a good omen, a good omen, a good omen.”
Xiao Baoxin raised his eyebrows. He could tell that he was trying to praise himself.
However, what he said was true.
” Let me show you the way.” Xie Xian hugged Xiao Baoxin from behind and smelled the faint fragrance on her body.”Why don’t you find an excuse to hold a banquet? Be it a young lady or a young man, please bring all the ladies. Then, invite Sister-in-law as a distinguished guest and introduce her to each and every one of them. From the family to the person, introduce them in all aspects and let Sister-in-law decide on her own.”
