Chapter 532: Who Is It?

Translator: 549690339

In contrast to Xie Xian’s increasingly serious worries, Madam Yuan and Mother Xie also paid more attention to Xiao Baoxin’s child. She even said that she had listened to him. In order to avoid her son’s worries, Lady Yuan even sent a maid to check on Xiao Baoxin’s daily life and diet every day, such as waking up in the morning and evening, paying respects early and greeting late. Mother Xie was originally exempted, but Xiao Baoxin always liked to walk around when he had nothing to do. Now, she even reminded him not to come and pay his respects every time she saw him.

Xiao Baoxin was pushed to the top.

When Xiao Baoxin realized it, even Xie Wan jokingly called her ‘Brother’s little ancestor.’

[Xiao Baoxin: I don’t want to. I’m not. I don’t want to.]

However, they were all just jokes. Her overly serious rebuttal seemed to be lacking in grandeur.

She was so well-protected.

Xiao Jing ‘ai’s funeral was attended by Xiao Baoxin. Xiao Baoxin simply used his pregnancy as an excuse to not attend. Xiao Miaorong went instead and went to the Xie family to see her the next day.

After Xi Shao’s appointment, Xiao Miaorong would be staying in Jiankang for half a month. After that, she would be taking up her position with her husband.

No matter how unhappy the Xi family was, there was nothing they could do. Minister Xi had been putting on a long face for several days, so he had to accept reality.

However, he left in a hurry and did not prepare well. He only invited a few young ladies he was close to to to Xi Manor for a gathering. Who knew that something would happen before the gathering was completed.

An imperial censor had leaked the position arrangement to the Minister of Personnel. A few days before the imperial edict was issued, there were already rumors about Xi Shao being appointed as the prefect of Linhai.

The gathering was over, and even Xi Shao’s official position was ruined.

He directly pointed his sword at Xie Xian.

Xie Xian was a minister, but he was also half a minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

A small number of censors, including many ministers, came to a consensus regarding Xie Xian’s leak. The key was Xi Shao’s identity. He was Xie Xian’s brother-in-law and had married two ladies of the Xiao family. Xie Xian was also the Emperor’s trusted aide. Wasn’t it normal for him to reveal something?

The crowd was turbulent, and there was a great momentum to topple Xie Xian.

Xiao Miaorong was so scared that she was about to cry. She thought that she had ruined her husband’s plans and even implicated her elder sister and brother-in-law, so she confessed to Xi Shao.

When she met the Empress, she had mentioned this matter to Xiao Baoxin and the Zu family in the palace.

“.. It’s my fault. At that time, sister even told me not to say anything without an imperial edict…” Xiao Miaorong was crying so hard that her snot and tears were flowing down her face.”I was wrong, San Lang, scold me.”

Then, before Xi Shao could say anything, she started crying.

Although she could not bear to part with Jiankang City, her parents and sisters, and did not want to leave, it was not this kind of not leaving. No matter how stupid she was, she knew that she had to put her husband’s future on the line. She was the external prefect that her husband had always been thinking about.

“It’s all my fault…”

Before he could finish, he had already covered his mouth tightly.”Silence!”

Fortunately, Xiao Miaorong knew the severity of the matter and sent all the maids away, leaving only the young couple.

“Keep these words to yourself and never mention them again, understand?!””Don’t tell anyone,” Xi Shao whispered.”

Xiao Miaorong nodded timidly.

“I’m not blaming you, but…It might not have come from you. At least from your side, the eldest lady knows, and the Zu clan also heard. On my side, it’s too early to target the Xie and Xi families. Even if I wanted to catch them from the source, it wouldn’t be you.”

“I remember. This has nothing to do with you. You never said anything about it, okay?”

Xiao Miaorong sobbed, her nose turning red from rubbing.”! know. I won’t say anything else in the future!”

After making up his mind, Xi Shao had a gourd in his room, and no gossip spread.

“Just pretend that it didn’t happen. You didn’t say it, okay? Straighten your back. Even if someone were to pour dirty water on you in the future, you would have to bite it and not admit it.”

Xi Shao thought for a while and thought that if he didn’t say it out loud, she would probably get sick from holding it in, and that would give others an opportunity to take advantage of her.

“.. You can’t admit these words, or else we won’t be able to stand in the Xi family. You should also know my status…”

It wasn’t very harsh for a bastard son to survive in the Xi family. However, after you were more outstanding than the other Di sons and were put in an important position by the Emperor, there were too many obstacles in the open and in the dark.

This was also the fundamental reason why he wanted to work outside.

It was Xiao Miaorong’s fault that the news was leaked.

Even so, it had already happened. There was no need to pursue it. It would only make her blame herself. Therefore, he directly plucked Xiao Miaorong out. “Third Aunt, do you remember? You didn’t expose this matter, and you didn’t know either!”

Logically speaking, Xiao Miaorong should not have known.

It was because he had drunk too much and said too much to her.

As for the only outsider, the Zu family, they were already engaged to the Xi and Xie families. Everyone knew about it. What kind of brain did the Lu family have to squeeze to expose this matter?

He directly ruled it out.

However, he did not know that the same scene was happening in the other room of the fourth room.

“I really didn’t do it on purpose. It’s just… Our San San Lang has great potential, and I’m showing off to my sister-in-law.”Minister Xi’s stepwife, Lady Sun, was crying her eyes out as she reflected deeply on herself in Minister Xi’s arms.

Minister Xi said in a low voice,”

“You better swallow these words back into your stomach and don’t tell anyone. Just pretend that you don’t know about this.”

The father and son used the exact same method to deal with it.

If this matter were to be spread out, it would only cause resentment. It would not help, but it would cause the family to be estranged.

Madam Sun was much more obedient. She held back her tears and said obediently,”I’ll listen to Silang. ‘But who is so wicked? Does anyone want to be the prefect of Linhai too? Since I…’ You heard some gossip from the outside, and now you’re trying to sabotage us?”

“If I replace out, I’ll skin him alive!”In an instant, it turned into a face that was gritting its teeth.

“This is a matter of giving our fourth branch face. The prefect is such a big official!” What a pity.

Minister Xi could tell that it wasn’t his wife who had caused trouble. She felt that the bastard son had brought honor to her family and ancestors.

However, he couldn’t go into detail. There were many people who wanted to prevent San ‘er from becoming a prefect. Not only did they want this official position, but there were also people who disliked the Xie family and the Xi family. At least, there were many people in the Xi family who were unwilling to let such a good thing fall on San’ er’s head.

It was too difficult to replace the source.

No one expected that Emperor Yong Ping had already found out the eunuch who had leaked the personnel arrangement the next day. He also found out a series of spies that the Langya Wang family had planted in the harem. There were a total of eight people, three eunuchs and five palace maids.

They were all beaten to death..
