Chapter 404 - 404- Don’t Bear Hatred
The Zhou family became the talk of the entire Jiankang City.
It was inevitable that some busybodies would mention that Zhou Weiniang had left the city to poison Xiao Baoxin and was forced to do so by the Xiao family. A person’s mouth had two skins, and whatever they said was true. When a person died, they would be kind, pitiful, and innocent. Many natural saints and white lotuses would be involved with Xiao Baoxin. In their eyes, without Xiao Baoxin’s coercion, Zhou Weiniang wouldn’t have died so miserably.
Zhou Weiniang wanted to poison him, but she didn’t poison him.
Now that Zhou Weiniang had died, who knew how she had died? All kinds of conspiracy theories started to spread.
Xiao Baoxin found it strange when he heard that. Was it because Zhan Luan did not reach Jiankang? Were they too full?
Why did everyone become a warrior of justice?
It’s easy to say. The one who wants to kill you is not you. Your life is not threatened. You can say that to others as if it’s light as a feather. It’s as if what you want to drink is not heartbreak medicine, but sugar water.
Xie Xian was still worried that she would blame herself and get hurt. She already had the heart to tear those people apart, alright?
She wouldn’t put sh * t on someone’s head like this.
“The trees in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.” Cai Wei saw that Madam was in a bad mood and she didn’t know where she had learned this phrase from. If it wasn’t for the serious atmosphere, she would have clapped herself.
This phrase was well used!
“Madam has been outstanding since she was young. She’s beautiful and married well. If others aren’t jealous of Madam, who else would they be jealous
of?”
Hearing this, Xiao Baoxin felt more at ease.”That’s the truth.”
… I won’t say anything bad about others. I just want to know if the person who called me an executioner will be grateful and say that I’m beautiful and kind if I give her a bowl of poison and tum around to forgive me!
“Why didn’t you cross the river when you heard the toad’s cry?”There are plum blossoms, but the truth is not rough.
Xiao Baoxin could tell that she was complaining that she had nothing better to
do.
She rubbed her stomach to calm herself down.” Don’t tell me these things in the future. I’m angry after hearing it.””She was aggrieved that she had spoken to too many people. She couldn’t even beat someone up even if she wanted to.
She was pregnant.
“Tell me, how many things have you delayed me?”She spoke to her stomach.
Cai Wei thought,”Don’t tell me you’re possessed by anger?”
However, Xiao Baoxin’s anger came and went quickly. After thinking about it, those people were happy with their words. In fact, they could not hurt her. If she really angered herself, it would not be worth it. If she did not, she would hurt the child. The gains would not make up for the losses. Instead, it was what those people wanted. Perhaps they would say that she had a guilty conscience and that she was even more unworthy.
In the blink of an eye, it was put aside.
However, she could release it, but Xie Xian could not. He did not believe that Xiao Baoxin could be said to be so one-sided without any guidance from public opinion.
He sent Ming Yue out to scout for information and found out in less than two days.
It wasn’t that Ming Yue was an intelligence expert. It was just that the second son of the Zhou family, Zhou Dun, had no experience in teaching him a lesson. The last time, he was caught by Xie Xian speaking ill of Xiao Baoxin behind his back, and he had to teach him a lesson in secret. In the end, he had gathered together with Xi Jiulang to chat, so he had no memory.
The next day, Imperial Censor Xiao accused Zhou Dun and Xi Jiu. Emperor Yong Ping had to give face to the Xie family and the Xiao family even if he didn’t give face to anyone. Moreover, he was talking about the fierce tiger wife of Pushe. She was also lighting lanterns in the latrine and looking for sh * t.
Just give it to me.
However, these two fellows did not have official titles. The previous time they fought with Xiao Baoshu, the late Emperor dismissed them from their official positions. This time, Emperor Yong Ping simply locked them up in prison for a month.
It couldn’t be said that Zhou Dun was the one who had spread such words, but this wasn’t the purpose. Xie Xian had caught the bird that had taken the lead and killed it as an example to others.
As expected, after being arrested for gossiping, the others stopped. At least, they did not dare to gossip as blatantly as before. From Princess An Ji to Zhou Dun, Xie Xian had established his might step by step. The people of Jiankang had truly realized that this person was not to be trifled with and would seek revenge for the smallest grievance.
Minister Xi even went to the Xie family to explain the matter.
Although he was of the same generation as his son and was married to the two sisters of the Xiao family, he was also a minister. He had a high position and could not be neglected.
Xie Xian greeted him with the courtesy of a junior.
The Xi family didn’t want to offend Xie Xian, and Xie Xian didn’t want to offend the Xi family either. After all, they couldn’t go around making enemies. Moreover, he admired Tingwei Xi’s upright character. On the other hand, Minister Xi was much more tactful.
It would be fine if he threw Xi Jiu in jail. Since the Xi family didn’t hold a grudge, Xie Xian naturally wouldn’t. He had already taken revenge. Xiao Baoxin had heard that Xie Xian had helped her find a place to establish her prestige a few days later. Cai Wei had received her clear instructions, so she did not continue to obstruct her. Xie Xian, on the other hand, took these to buy them. He wanted to practice again.
Xiao Baoxin didn’t shirk this time. He smiled like a flower. It felt good to have such a person protecting him.
It was not inferior to her fist, but even more ruthless.
Let them go in and receive the education of the Imperial Court.
.. The husband and wife were like fish in water, both experienced veterans.

The next day, Xiao Miaorong came knocking. She was invited to stay at Chu Lingzi’s residence for a few days. It was rare for the two of them to be together. Unlike the past, where they interacted with a group of people, they got along even more harmoniously in private. The two of them were straightforward and did not hide anything. They were congenial and had similar personalities. However, Xiao Miaorong still felt that it was necessary to tell Xiao Baoxin about the incident in the chief branch.
After all, the matter involved the Xiao family and she knew about it. If she did not know, it would seem that the Xiao family was not magnanimous.
He immediately learned from Xiao Baoxin about the Zhou family causing a ruckus in Wang Qiang.
“.. I heard from Sixth Aunt that Madam Zhou hated Fifteenth Aunt because she knew that the Zhou family had a grudge with our Xiao family. When something happened to Elder Sister, she rushed over. She didn’t take her seriously and deliberately made fun of her. After several provocations, Aunt Fifteen ignored them. However, she did not expect the Zhou Consortium to become even more aggressive. Madam Wang was sick, and Madam Zhou took over the Zhou family, so she tried to deduct the things in Fifteen Niang’s room.”
“I don’t know what he said to his son. When he was playing in the courtyard, he pushed Chu ’an into the pool.”
“Ah?” Xiao Baoxin was flabbergasted and furious. “Is the child okay? This is too lawless!”
Xiao Miaorong sighed. Chu Lingzi did not tell her about the worse things. It was the maid she brought over who heard the gossip. Madam Zhou accused Xiao Baoxin of being a murderer. Not only did he harm her sister, but he also arrested her brother and put him in prison.
Xiao Baoxin’s face turned green with anger when she said this, but Xiao Miaorong didn’t say anything else.
The pregnant woman had a strong temper. When she came, her mother had instructed her again and again not to say anything that should not be said. When her true qi got sick, her relatives would be hurt and her enemies would be happy.
“The pool isn’t very deep, and there’s even a maid watching by the side.”Xiao Miaorong said,” We rushed over when we heard about this. Sixth Aunt aggressively wanted to stand up for Fifteenth Aunt. At that time, Fifteenth Aunt was already so angry that she had a big fight with Madam Zhou.” When he made a fuss in front of Madam Wang, Madam Wang was so angry that she fell sick..”
