Chapter 131: Breaking Up
Translator: 549690339
Madam Xie was hurt to the bone and did not plan to smooth things over. “Everyone’s face is their face, but ours, right? Don’t think about me going over when Second Mother is getting married. Let your Second Uncle know that we are not easy to fool. We have to swallow the loss in silence after putting on the label of protecting the Xiao family’s reputation. Since when did our Xiao Manor have a reputation to speak of?”
Xiao Baoxin:
The first sentence was fine, but what the hell was the last sentence?
There was no reputation to speak of. It was probably caused by the eldest brother and sister…
However, Mrs. Xie was angry, and Xiao Baoxin did not have the heart to speak up for Xiao Jing ‘ai. That was her mother, and it was all for her own good.
“Mother, don’t be angry. Anyway, father will be back soon. When father comes back, let father decide what we should do.”Xiao Baoxin comforted Madam Xie. First of all, it was useless for her mother to call him father no matter how happy she was about the matter of splitting the family.
Madam Xie is a woman of the inner house, and she is naturally happy to repay kindness and revenge. You have touched my reverse scale, and at most, I will not associate with you and break off our friendship. But let’s not talk about the bloodline here, breaking the bones and connecting the tendons. As a man, Abba was fighting in Sand City outside and was famous in the imperial court. His vision was broad, and his perspective on problems was very likely to be naturally different from theirs.
This was also the reason why Xiao Baoxin comforted Madam Xie. He didn’t want the second branch’s Xiao Jingai to do something evil and cause a storm in his parents ‘relationship.
Madam Xie nodded repeatedly upon hearing her daughter’s words.
“Daughter is right. 1 will wait for your father to come back and make decisions for us. If I don’t let your second uncle and the others see it, they will really think that we are easy to bully.”
Xiao Baoxin was speechless. That didn’t seem to be what she meant.
In fact, not only did Madam Xie not like it, but Xiao Baoshu also broke up with Yang Shao because of this matter.
He didn’t know that Xiao Baoxin and Xiao Jing ‘ai were like fire and water, but he simply felt that his Brother Yang was not doing the right thing. Why did he want to marry his elder sister after making thousands of promises and begging in front of him? It hadn’t even been two days, and it was now his second sister.
He thought that he was buying cabbages at the market.
Besides, what was so bad about her sister’s cabbage?
Why couldn’t she change to someone else’s cabbage and bear it on their Xiao family? Could they be picky?
What master? What brother? This person had evil intentions. Xiao Baoshu found Yang Shao and scolded him on the spot. Seeing that he still straightened his neck and waited to be beaten up after scolding him, he was really sad. He did not even care if he could beat him up.
Of course, Yang Shao couldn’t beat people up. He deserved to be scolded. He found it himself-in his previous life.
He had to deal with Xiao Jing ‘ai. He couldn’t throw her away or kick her. If he didn’t accept her, he was afraid that she would lose her head. If he accepted her, he would feel aggrieved. He was forcing her to be roasted on a fire rack.
How could he beat and scold Xiao Baoshu? He didn’t even look down on his own actions.
Moreover, he had sincerely befriended Xiao Baoshu back then. Although the reason for Xiao Baoxin was there, Xiao Baoshu was a person who was absurd but also loyal. He had the magnanimity of a Jianghu child who did not care about trifles.
From scolding him, it could be seen that regardless of whether he could win or not, Xiao Baoshu felt that he had done something wrong and hurt their brotherhood, so he would scold him.
“Baoshu…You’re still young…”
He couldn’t say anything more. Was he addicted to saying that?
In the eyes of others, what reason could he have to marry someone he did not want to marry? It was nothing more than fame and fortune, nothing more than relying on a big tree to enjoy the shade.
Xiao Baoshu was unmoved. If you don’t beat me up, I’ll leave. In the future, we’ll go our separate ways, and no one will recognize each other!”It was a good thing that he didn’t acknowledge her as his master back then. Otherwise, he didn’t know if there was another set of procedures for asking to leave the sect today!
The two of them broke up just like that, but Xiao Baoshu did not tell anyone in the family that the atmosphere in their family was not right recently. If father returned triumphantly, the residence would be filled with joy. Mother would decorate the residence in the first half of the month to ensure that it was spotless.
This time, there was no movement in the residence. Aunt came to the chief branch several times, but was blocked by Ah Niang. She simply said that she was ill and did not even see her.
Although he was young, he knew that it was because of the matter between Second Mother and Yang Shao that the two sisters-in-law did not get along.
When he saw Madam Xie complaining about illness and being depressed, even he stopped playing tricks. He went to the Academy to attend classes every day and had never been so obedient. He almost didn’t recognize himself.
But on Yang Shao’s side, the one who went to Xiao Manor to ask for marriage was Pan Shuo’s aunt, this time he couldn’t trouble her to come forward. Even if he had the face to say this, the other party would not agree.
The more particular the person was, the more important the marriage was. This was also the reason why Yang Shao had shamelessly begged Pan Shuo.
Pan Shuo was carefree, but he was extremely loyal. He would naturally go all out if he was in his eyes.
However, this time, it was the second wife of the second branch of the Xiao family. Yang Shao didn’t know someone who was on the same level as Pan Shuo. Even his new colleagues didn’t have such a relationship. He didn’t have the face to ask someone to be his matchmaker.
Later, Yang Shao had no choice but to pay a matchmaker to propose marriage.
This marriage was not something he was willing to do. He would do what he could, and he had no choice if he could not.
The Second Madam of the Xiao family was aggrieved and angry. She stiffly agreed to the marriage and directly exchanged her birth characters. This marriage was officially decided.
Whether it was the groom or the bride’s family, no one was happy. As for Xiao Jing ‘ai, she was happy. However, the reason why Second Master Xiao immediately told her the news was that he didn’t want her to do anything to embarrass the Xiao family. He had never looked at Xiao Jing’ ai coldly before.
“Wait until auntie marries someone, then you can marry again. Don’t be happy too early. I’ve fulfilled your wish, so just stay at home obediently and don’t cause any more trouble for me. Otherwise, don’t let your father be ruthless!”
With that, he flicked his sleeves and left.
Xiao Jing ‘ai, however, only felt proud and elated. These days, she had been locked up and had not been able to eat dinner for some days. Her face had lost a lot of weight, and her eyes looked bigger and more watery. She looked more delicate and charming. That smile was really pitiful.
The heavens had opened their eyes. Yang Shao had finally come to propose marriage. He believed her words.
From then on, no one would stand in front of her. She would one day hold her head high and let the Xiao family see how glorious Second Mother, who was mistreated and ridiculed by them, was.
It was just that she would wait for Xiao Baoxin to marry before marrying again…
With Xiao Baoxin’s current reputation, could he still find someone to marry?
She had taken a fancy to Xie Xian, but unfortunately, her heart was higher than the heavens and her life was thinner than paper. Not to mention what Xie Xian, that short-lived ghost, could help her with, he did not take a fancy to her at all.
In terms of wishful thinking, she, Xiao Baoxin, was not inferior to him!
Did she really think that her pretty face was invincible and that she could marry into a top aristocratic family of the Daliang Dynasty? He would even dream of things that others did not dare to dream of..
