Xie Wan could not help but laugh. This was Lady Xiao’s answer. She really did not hide anything.

“Why would my brother let me pass a message to you? He keeps everything to himself. However, my brother said that you are in a difficult time now and wanted me to comfort you and see if you were bullied.”

Just this sentence alone was enough to answer a thousand words. Xiao Baoxin was satisfied.

For that stuffy gourd to ask Xie Wan to come to the Xiao residence, he must be very anxious, right?

Although they had only spoken a few words, she felt that she knew him very well, as if she had known him for a long time.

With such a wonderful feeling, if you say that you don’t take him down, will you be able to face yourself?

Xie Wan observed Xiao Baoxin’s expression and saw that he did not care at all. She guessed that nothing embarrassing had happened, so she muttered,”Big lady, did you suffer any losses?”

Xiao Baoxin knew that she wanted to ask about the follow-up, so he did not hide anything and told Xie Wan everything that happened after the two of them separated. Of course, she did not mention anything about what would happen to Princess Xuancheng.

Firstly, she wasn’t sure to what extent Princess Xuancheng would react. Secondly, he didn’t want to give others the feeling that he was scheming to protect himself.

Xie Wan nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Although she was two or three years younger than Xiao Baoxin, in a prestigious family like the Xie family, it was inevitable that she would know the pros and cons of success and failure. Now that she had heard Xiao Baoxin’s tirade, she also knew that such an ending was actually already the best.

Strange that even Mother didn’t have the restriction of matching family status, and decided on Lady Xiao at a glance, she was really brave and fierce.

This innocent child naturally didn’t know that her mother didn’t see through Lady Xiao. She clearly saw through her brother and knew that her brother liked Lady Xiao. Her mother was completely devoted to her son.

“I didn’t expect Princess Anji to do such a despicable move. She’s called a royal princess, and she’s even worse than a shrew in the market.”Xie Wan spat.”She even likes my brother. It really makes her feel unlucky.””

“It’s good that I know you’re fine. 1 have to hurry back to the residence.”

Without saying a few more words, Xie Wan stood up and left.

Xiao Baoxin didn’t have a stuffy personality like Xie Xian. He smiled and said,”Help me thank your brother for thinking about me.”

Xie Wan pursed her lips and smiled. It was not like the small steps she took when she came. She left slowly.

Xiao Baoxin sent her out of the back door the same way. After Xie Wan got into the car, she turned around and returned to the residence.

Xie Wan did not dare to delay. It was rare for her brother-in-law to be interested in a wife. She did not dare to neglect him. When she returned to the residence, she went to Xie Xian’s courtyard and reported what she had seen and heard in the Xiao family.

When she mentioned the reply Xiao Baoxin had given Xie Xian, Xie Wan saw that her brother’s face instantly turned red.

“I don’t miss anything. It’s just… 1 don’t want to burden others because of me.”Xie Xian’s tone was stiff.

Of course, if his face wasn’t so red, it might have been more convincing.

Xie Wan played with the teacup in her hand and smiled.

“Brother and I don’t need to be so secretive. Although you’re a little lady, I think Big Lady Xiao is more open and frank.”

How was he being frank? He was clearly living wantonly and ostentatiously. He even had a backup plan when he had no choice but to compromise. There were thorns growing on his body.

Xie Wan was young after all and had limited knowledge of the world. However, Xie Xian had been by the Emperor’s side for a long time. Be it in the court, he was meticulous in all aspects. Moreover, he had already seen Xiao Baoxin’s actions a few times. This was a person who was not afraid of causing trouble. If he wanted to make her suffer in silence, she could jump up and make that person mute.

What an arrogant and domineering little lady.

When Xie Xian thought of Xiao Baoxin, he couldn’t help but think of the day when they were in the car. It was raining heavily outside, and her voice was gentle as she said to him,

One glance was enough for ten thousand years.

Xie Xian’s eyes were already filled with an indelible gentleness.

Xie Wan saw the changes in her brother.”After saying that, she left with a smile.

Xie Xian was left frowning for a long time. It was only after a long while that he realized the meaning behind Xie Wan’s words. His expression immediately changed. Could it be that his mother had revealed a few words that allowed his sister to have such an understanding and dare to tease his elder brother?

This was not what he was happy to see. He was surrounded by a quagmire, and he did not want to drag her into it.

Xie Xian stood there for a long time before he sighed and walked to the temple hall where Lady Yuan lived.

Lady Yuan had always been a devout Buddhist. After Xie Shizhong’s death, she spent most of her time in the temple hall, apart from going to the old lady’s place to meditate. It was said to be a temple hall, but it had already gradually expanded. Almost half of the courtyard was filled with all kinds of Buddha statues and countless Buddhist scriptures.

When Xie Xian came over, Madam Yuan was copying scriptures. After hearing his intention, Madam Yuan didn’t stop writing.

“You really don’t want to marry Lady Xiao?””

“Yes.” Xie Xian said,”I hope Mother…” Don’t interfere with my choice.”

“Alright, 1 got it.” Madam Yuan looked up at him and sighed.””Go and rest. Your eyes are green. No matter how big the matter is, it’s still worth your trip.”

He said it as if it was light and weightless without Xiao Baoxin.

Xie Xian’s heart felt stifled.

“You’re my son. How can I not let you do as you please? Don’t worry.” Madam Yuan put down her brush, her eyes filled with sorrow. “You’ve disturbed me so much that I don’t even have the mood to copy scriptures. You’re indeed my evil creature.”

“It’s my son’s fault.” Xie Xian smiled.

“.. Go and rest.” Madam Yuan chased Xie Xian away. Only when she heard the door close did she sigh faintly.

He was her son. How could she not see that her son liked Lady Xiao? When she heard that Lady Xiao was in trouble, her voice tightened. She quickly sent her little sister to the residence to inquire about the news. She could not sit still.

Yet, he always thought of others. He was so annoying that he did not mean what he said!

“Children are all debts.” Madam Yuan said in a resentful manner.

His son was born weak, but he was talented and aloof. Few people could enter his eyes. Now that he finally had such a woman that he liked and wanted her to be safe, how could she, as his mother, not follow his heart?

###

Xie Xian walked away for a while, thinking that he had dispelled Madam Yuan’s thoughts, so he didn’t take it to heart.

He still had things to do.

Princess Anji was protected by the Eldest Princess, so even such a vicious thing was covered up. Xiao Baoxin frequently mentioned Princess Anji during the banquet between the young ladies. Of course, he had left behind evidence, but he was afraid that something had really happened and there was no evidence. However, the nanny beside Princess Anji repeatedly mentioned that it was Princess Xuancheng. Now that something happened to Xiao Baoxin, it was inevitable that the blame would be placed on Princess Xuancheng.

If it was said that he had acted in a hurry and did not think it through, after Xie Wan went, the dust had already settled. Xiao Baoxin still did not move, so that was not the case.

He didn’t believe that a smart person like Xiao Baoxin would miss this point, so she placed her final bet on Princess Xuancheng.

This girl didn’t want to be arrogant, but she also didn’t plan to be so quiet. He might as well add fuel to the fire, so that Princess Anji could teach her a long lesson.. She didn’t want anyone she could covet, and she didn’t want anyone she could bully!
