Chapter 460: Attack, Retreat, Defend

Translator: 549690339 |

Madam Wang had thought it through. Xie Xian had married Xiao Baoxin, and the legitimate daughter of their third branch had married Xiao Baoshu. To put it nicely, this was an increase in kinship. Even if there were unkind words, Xie Xian would definitely be the first to speak.

A tall tree attracts the wind, and the ranking of aristocratic families was also given by Xie Xian, so it had little to do with their third branch.

Their daughter was from an aristocratic family. Wouldn’t it be more than enough to match up with the grassroots Xiao family?

In the end, the Emperor had already decided on it, and she was too late.

She was too embarrassed to say it. The royal family was also shameless now. They were willing to suck in whatever smelled good or bad. They were really not picky. As a princess, she was afraid that if she was too late, she would not be able to catch up to the hot food.

She claimed to be a proud daughter of heaven, but she was also not presentable.

Xiao Baoxin’s expression was not good at that time. Wasn’t it Madam Wang who rushed up and stuck to it?

Did she say anything?

She had originally come to ask for a marriage. Since she felt that her Xiao family was not worthy of that Second Lady Xie, why did she have to do this? There were so many inner scenes, making it seem as if the Xiao family was begging them to marry Xie Erniang, and how aggrieved they were?

Who gave them the right to think like that?

“Second Niangzi is also a good person. Although her temperament is sometimes inevitably impatient, she can be considered to be well-educated and well-mannered. She is also from a prestigious family. Second Shen does not need to be so anxious and slowly choose.”

He had wanted to save face for Madam Wang and avoid the topic before Xie Shan’s name was revealed. Since Madam Wang was criticizing the Xiao family in her heart, there was really no need for her to give both parties face.

It was her family’s ancestral duty to protect their children. No matter how they beat up their own people, it was reasonable. What right did outsiders have to come knocking on their doors and say that their family was wrong? Did he eat your food or climb your wall?

Sure enough, Xiao Baoxin made it clear. Madam Wang couldn’t maintain the smile on her face anymore. If she wasn’t afraid of leaving on the spot, Madam Wang really couldn’t be bothered to entertain Xiao Baoxin.

She didn’t even know how to say nice words and only poked at people’s hearts. What did he mean by not even fourteen? He had already passed his fourteenth birthday! Xusui was already fifteen this year!

“What are you saying? I’m not talking about marriage for Second Mother. Didn’t I just think of your brother as we chatted?””I’m thinking of helping you to look at each other,” said Madam Wang.”Picking a suitable person to marry over, wouldn’t that be a good match?” Who knew.Jn the end, heroes came from the young. He had been decided by the emperor long ago. He was really blessed.”

If he refused to admit it, he would be asking his daughter to marry him.

He couldn’t afford to lose face.

She gritted her teeth and forced herself to marry into the Xiao family. Her daughter hated marrying when she grew up. Now that there was war, the only choice left was Jiankang. If they married out, they would have to live there.

There were only a few aristocratic families in Jiankang City, and there were even fewer of them at the age of marriage.

Xiao Baoshu could not be considered a good match for Madam Wang. His background was too low.

He had a bad reputation in the past.

However, she could not allow Second Mother Xie to become an old lady. Madam Wang pulled and pulled, and only Xiao Bao Shu could barely move up. However, due to the circumstances, it was inevitable that her daughter would be wronged.

What was even more embarrassing was that she had taken the initiative to rush forward and was rejected without hesitation. She kept saying that she was the princess of Xuancheng and was using the royal family to suppress her. However, he did not think about it. Whether it was the imperial family or the Xiao family, they did not have any foundation. At most, they were just a combination of nouveau riche!

After saying that, Madam Wang pulled it out of Xiao Baoxin’s hand.

Xiao Baoxin could not hear Madam Wang’s inner thoughts and even heaved a sigh of relief. She had seen too many people like this who hid a knife behind their smiles. They were all acting one way on the surface but not on the inside. She was a little tired of them.

“Oh, just now I heard Third Shen say that she should have told my mother, but I thought it was Second Mother.”Xiao Baoxin gave a fake smile. “I was thinking that Second Mother was from a prestigious family and was usually proud. My little brother has always been unrestrained and fearless. His reputation in Jiankang City is not very good. It is a bit of a condescension to marry Second Lady. Fortunately, he is not.”

He was a little condescending, but he didn’t say who he condescended to.

Going along with the topic was naturally to say that he was condescending to Second Mother Xie, but no matter how Madam Wang listened, it was very awkward. She couldn’t resist the fact that there was a Xuancheng princess in front of her, so Xiao Baoxin’s words really couldn’t be considered humble.

Even if it was an innuendo, you wouldn’t be able to replace anything wrong with it.

In short, it was disgusting.

“What do you mean by that? What do you mean by condescend? Even if I really liked your Baoshu, I should have asked a guarantor to personally go to the Xiao family’s door to ask Madam Xie. Why would I look for you with such a straight face?”Madam Wang smiled.” You’re still young and don’t understand the rules of the family. There are rules for this.”

“Didn’t I hear your second aunt talking about her niece? I suddenly remembered that the Cai family still has a Di daughter who is currently at an inappropriate age to discuss marriage. The Xiao and Cai families are already close to each other, so now that they’re here, they can’t be closer. I wanted to be a matchmaker, but I didn’t expect you to misunderstand.”

Xiao Baoxin suddenly understood. So he was waiting for her here.

She had said that she could attack and retreat if she wanted to.

She would let her know first. If her family ‘didn’t know what was good for them’ and refused, Madam Wang would push the blame on others. Then, she would be warm-hearted again.

He had a good plan. It would be a waste of his talent if he did not become an accountant.

“Third Shen is very thoughtful. This matter of a kiss is definitely not possible. Even without the Xuancheng Princess, it would not be possible to marry the Cai family. After all, it was only last year, and Xiao Cai had already broken up. My sister-in-law had not recovered from her illness ever since she returned to Jiankang. She had also sent a letter to the Cai family, but not even half of them came to visit. Such a family…Forget it.”

Madam Wang sipped her tea awkwardly. Her excuse was a little crude.

After all, she had been scheming against her daughter previously. The Xiao family did not object to her decision. He was too sure that he would be slapped in the face.

“So that’s how it is?” Madam Wang pretended to exclaim,” This is the Cai family’s fault. Even a concubine’s daughter shouldn’t be ignored like this.”He didn’t mention the matter of Xiao Baoshan losing his official position because of the uproar between the Xiao and Cai families last year.

There was no point in saying more. Madam Wang wanted to end it with a few words.

The ‘opportunity’ was naturally Xiao Baoshu. Xiao Baoxin had sealed off the path in one go, so there was really no need to continue.

“Then take care of your body. I won’t disturb you anymore.”Madam Wang stood up. “You still have to go to your second aunt’s place to sit. She’s not like you. She’s young and can’t withstand the torment when she’s old.”

Xiao Baoxin stood up to send Madam Wang off, but Madam Wang refused to let him go.”You have to take good care of yourself. When your stomach is big, it will be difficult for you to move.”

It was only when Madam Wang left Rong An Hall that Cai Wei appeared out of nowhere. Her eyes were bright and filled with admiration..
