Needless to say, Madam Yuan was in a hurry after knowing that her son was going to leave Jiankang to quell the rebellion. Just the daily food and clothing alone took her half a day to load two big ox carts. Even Xiao Baoxin could not help but be dumbfounded when he heard the news.

Was the imperial court so lacking in manpower?

Was there a need for Xie Xian for this matter?

Did the Emperor think that he was a huge stone slab that could be slapped wherever it was needed?

The matter in Kuaiji Prefecture had been quite big these days. She had heard Sikong Xiao mention it in the Inner Residence. The aristocratic families did not want to go. They did not want to offend that person for nothing. The benefits were almost divided. Not to mention that there was no benefit in going again. Perhaps the Emperor wanted to use this to punish the Qiao aristocratic families and was unwilling to be a bridge. The emperor did not want to use the common people of the poor family, afraid that they would be tripped up after the rebellion was quelled.

After listening to it, even Sikong Xiao felt that Xie Xian was the best candidate. The Emperor used him so easily that he wasn’t afraid of offending people.

Moreover, the casual attendants were originally ordered by the emperor to do all kinds of casual work, and they would do whatever they were ordered to.

“With such a son in the Xie Shi, I can die in peace.”Sikong Xiao sighed. Thinking about how his son was fired from his post and left home all day, he would not be able to rest in peace even if he died.

Mrs. Xie slapped her head. No wonder she felt like she had forgotten about something these days. She actually let Mrs. Yuan’s suggestion go just like that.

He hesitantly told Sikong Xiao about Lady Yuan’s proposal to his daughter.

Sikong Xiao was shocked. This prodigal woman could actually forget such a big thing? That was a top-notch aristocratic family! Xie Clan!

Young Master’s unparalleled Xie Xian!

Even though he knew from his daughter that the world was going to be chaotic and the country was going to fall, Sikong Xiao’s longing and respect for the aristocratic families didn’t subside at all.

Propose marriage?

Of course, he agreed immediately.

Cough, cough, cough.

“Yes.” Sikong Xiao sighed.” It’s a blessing in disguise. The ancients didn’t lie to me. The Yuan Family’s marriage was canceled, but no one knew that Yuan Chen, who looked good on the surface, was rotten to the core and wild to the bones.”

“Xie Xian is different. He is truly talented and pure. He is truly a promising young master. Even the emperor praises him when he mentions him.”

Madam Xie pursed her lips. A father and a mother were indeed different.

“I’m not thinking about it. His body is weak…”

“If you replace a general, wouldn’t you be afraid of him dying on the battlefield? Attendant Xie’s body was weak, and it was not like he had no air to breathe in or out. He did not have more than two or three days to live. The world was unpredictable. Who knew how long anyone could live?”

Sikong Xiao didn’t think much of it. His fondness for Xie Xian was beyond words.

“Xie Xian has looks, a family background, and talent. You can’t allow him to have any shortcomings? How can a perfect person exist?”

“Besides, when you married me, did you know that I would live a long life? I didn’t expect to live to this day.”

War was a matter of putting one’s head out of one’s belt, exchanging one’s life for glory and wealth.

Sikong Xiao realized that his daughter knew about the future.

” Wait a minute. Let’s ask our daughter what she thinks-”

Madam Xie vomited at the mention of her daughter. “Your daughter is quite satisfied.”

She shamelessly boasted that she had taken a fancy to Xie Xian, and she was embarrassed to tell him. As a mother, she was flustered.

Sikong Xiao slapped his thigh.” Then what are you still thinking about? If even your daughter likes him, then he must be the one. I agree!””

His daughter knew about the future and heard people’s hearts. Since she was able to take a fancy to Xie Xian, then she definitely knew something. Perhaps the key to the future was Xie Xian. What did he mean by his poor health? His deputy general was only twenty years old, and his body was extremely good. In the end, didn’t he die young and get stabbed to death by the enemy?

His old neighbor was sickly and didn’t look energetic all year round. He either caught a cold or was out of breath. He had been like that since he could remember. Until he was promoted and made a fortune, he moved away. He was still energetic at the age of 60. He had to rely on countless young and strong men.

No one could guarantee his life.

Upon hearing that Xiao Baoxin had taken a fancy to the person, Sikong Xiao successfully deviated to the future and thought that Xiao Baoxin was watching the overall situation and everything was under his control.

That Xie Xian might be the key to victory.

Sikong Xiao thought that his daughter didn’t mention it to him because she was embarrassed. The two of them had a tacit understanding.

Xiao Baoxin’s skill, be it Sikong Xiao or Xiao Baoxin, they didn’t tell Madam Xie and the Xiao brothers. Even if he told them, they wouldn’t be able to help. They might not be able to withstand the blow and might even ruin things.

Whatever happened, the two of them would be in the front line, and the others would just have to live their lives in peace.

Sikong Xiao didn’t want to admit that his two sons weren’t people who could bear the burden. However, not being willing to admit it did not mean that it was not the truth. It was tiring.

Therefore, when he heard that he was going to marry into the Xie family, Sikong Le’s snot almost popped out. Not to mention the Xie family, which was such a big family, just Xie Xian alone was worth it.

At that time, it was decided that if you didn’t agree, I would go to the door myself.

Madam Xie couldn’t afford to lose face, but she couldn’t argue with the two of them.’Tll only agree if they mention it again. Otherwise, if we are too proactive, it will seem like we are in a hurry to beg them.”

Sikong Xiao nodded. What he said made sense.

What Yang Shao, what Yuan Chen, they were nothing compared to Xie Xian.

He was originally from a small aristocratic family. In the eyes of the great aristocratic families, this was not just a humble family. Even in his dreams, he wanted to glorify the family. He could also promote the Xiao family to a great aristocratic family. However, that was through the efforts of several generations. It was not something that he could do alone.

That was why he married into the Yuan family and tried to improve his status through marriage.

He had never dreamed that the Xie family would take the initiative to propose marriage. If he had known that this day would come, he would not have married into the Yuan family. It would have lowered his value to be with such a family. There would not be any good goods.

Xiao Baoxin didn’t know that his father’s imagination had helped him fulfill his wish.

She was thinking about Xie Xian. With his body, she didn’t know if his body could take it if he led troops to quell the chaos.

At that time, he changed into men’s clothes and left the manor. He asked Mu Jin, who was dressed as a manservant, to make a trip to the Xie Manor while he booked a room in the elegant house. It was not until the evening that Xie Xian came back.

It wasn’t that Xie Xian was acting coy, but rather that he was about to set off, and there was a bunch of people waiting for him inside and outside the Palace. He only heard the message when he returned to the residence in the evening.

What about Yanyu sending him off alone in a room?

As long as there was a name in his mind, there was nothing he could not remember.

The so-called Yan Yu was Lady Xiao.

Xie Xian was both angry and amused at the same time. He arrived travel-worn and pushed open the door. As expected, he saw Xiao Baoxin. He was dressed in a man’s luxurious clothes, and his eyebrows were deliberately thick. He looked very heroic.

That wanton and bright smile almost blinded his dog eyes..
