Chapter 500 - 500-Edge
Chapter 500, so fast! Ahhhh!
When Madam Xie received the letter, she was in the main courtyard with Madam Cai, looking after the child and chatting idly.
However, Madam Xie was worried about leaving the two children at home, so she didn’t let Mrs. Cai follow them. Fortunately, Mrs. Cai thought that Mrs. Cai was sick, so no one picked on her.
Mrs. Cai was so enthusiastic that she looked energetic. Even her voice was like a rainbow.
“I’m relieved now that sister-in-law’s health is better.”Xiao Baoxin smiled. In the past, it was always the Xiao family who sent the words. She did not know if it was true or not. It might be to make her feel at ease.
She knew that Madam Cai’s body had recovered, otherwise, her mother would not have let her come over.
“It’s all thanks to Mother and you…And your Xuan Hui and Third Lady, without you I wouldn’t have recovered so quickly.”Mrs. Cai took Xiao Baoxin’s arm and led him into the house. She couldn’t even pretend to be intimate.
.. She was simply a completely different person from the cold and aloof Cai Mingzhu in the past.
“Actually, I wanted to go to the in-law’s wife’s birthday party, but I always wanted to talk about it after my body was completely recovered. I’m not afraid of anything else, but I’m afraid that I’ll attract you. Your belly is really big!”
Madam Cai looked carefully and was shocked.
It was much more obvious than when she was pregnant.
After all, she was a martial artist and had a good body.
In the past, she had looked down on martial artists and the Xiao family’s martial arts background. How noble was the aristocratic family and how good were their studies? Now, she saw that the Xiao family was good in every aspect. They were good in quality and martial arts. At least they were in good health.
Hence, she discussed with Madam Xie and asked her father-in-law to teach her when he returned.
How could Madam Xie not agree? Madam Cai was really treating her as her mother and daughter-in-law. She asked for her opinion on everything. This made Xiao Baoxin’s marriage, and Xiao Baoshu’s empty heart that had been left on the battlefield was filled. She was busy with her grandchildren every day and had a good relationship with the Cai family.
The three of them sat down and started talking about Imperial Censor Xiao’s illness. Madam Cai naturally shared a common enemy and gnashed her teeth in hatred.”It’s all Second Lady’s fault. She’s so pretentious. One moment, she snatched our Eldest Lady’s marriage, and the next moment, she doesn’t want to live with others. She wants to divorce with others. Fortunately, God has eyes. Our Eldest Lady is blessed to marry into her brother-in-law’s family and be held in the palm of her hand as a treasure. Otherwise, even lightning would strike Second Lady.”
These words were a little harsh, but Madam Xie expressed her deep agreement.
“I think your second uncle is also worried about his daughter. Yang Shao is unreliable, but how stupid would he be to kill Second Mother?”
Madam Cai was more scheming than Madam Xie. Having grown up in a big family, she had seen too many sinister people.
“Even if you want to kill him, you don’t have to do it yourself. Then Lan Ying…” She shook her head. She was also a woman, and after what had happened to Lu Liu, she clearly knew how jealous women were.
“I don’t think it has nothing to do with the Yang family.”
Xiao Baoxin didn’t nod or shake his head. To his mother, as long as she expressed her stance, it was basically confirmed.
She didn’t want to give her mother such an impression.
It didn’t matter if she was cold-blooded or not, she was already kind enough not to personally go against Xiao Jing ‘ai. No matter what, with Imperial Censor Xiao from the second branch standing up for her, she didn’t want to be the one who punished the real culprit for Xiao Jing’ ai.
That would let down every single member of the Xiao family that had been destroyed in his previous life!
Standing by and watching was the bottom line she could do.
“It might be Lan Ying.” Madam Xie agreed with Madam Cai’s guess.” I went to the Yang family yesterday and saw Lan Ying with my own eyes. She’s not a good person. Yang Shao is protecting him.”
Xiao Baoxin sneered. If he really protected Lan Ying, he wouldn’t have pushed her to such a high position and let everyone in Jiankang City know that the Yang family was run by a concubine.
After sitting for a while, a nanny came over to report that Ann had woken up.
Xiao Baoxin quickly got someone to carry him over. He was only a little over a year old, and he looked as fair as jade. The child was lively and was not afraid of strangers at all.
Although she had only seen Xiao Baoxin three or four times, An had already remembered him and knew to call her aunt. The moment she saw Xiao Baoxin, she stuck close to him. She liked pretty aunties the most.
“This child has always loved beauty since he was young. Beautiful aunt, beautiful sister, beautiful grandmother. He is happy just looking at them.”
Madam Xie smiled brightly, not because her wife had praised her, but because what she said was true.”There’s an ordinary-looking maid in the residence. He doesn’t like her and cries when he sees her…Sister-in-law Zhang is the same. He doesn’t like it either…”
The family sat together and chatted until Jing Niang woke up from her afternoon nap. Xiao Baoxin only got up and left after playing with her for a while.
“Yes, yes, go back quickly. Although it’s normal for you to come back because something happened to the second branch, it’s not good for you to stay at your mother’s house for long.’Madam Xie said after realizing what was going on.
Madam Cai was not willing to fall behind. She and Madam Xie each took a child and sent them out.
Only after Xiao Baoxin got into the car did he turn around and return to the manor.
” My aunt is blessed. My aunt looks at my aunt’s figure. She’s really not fat except for her stomach.” There was no one else who could become more beautiful after giving birth.”
His words made Madam Xie’s heart skip a beat.
She said that she had forgotten something. Her daughter was still so beautiful even though she was pregnant. How could her son-in-law control himself? He actually forgot to tell his daughter to avoid intercourse…What a pig’s brain.
However, because of this sentence, it was not good to chase after him and instruct him.
Maybe next time.

Xiao Baoxin went straight to Yi An Hall when she returned to the Xie Manor. She didn’t inform her family when she went out, but she had to inform them when she came back. After all, her sister had died. No matter how bad the relationship was, she couldn’t let outsiders find fault with her.
Mother Xie had already found out about it and wanted to comfort her granddaughter-in-law. However, when she saw Xiao Baoxin’s expression, there was not the slightest bit of sadness.
Obviously, she didn’t even want to hide it, so Mother Xie didn’t want to make things difficult for others. After all, it was not a secret that everyone in Jiankang knew that Xiao Baoxin and his sister were not on good terms.
I don’t know when the funeral will be held. Ask your second aunt to seal a letter of condolences.”
After thinking for a while, she finally said,”After all, we’re biological sisters. Don’t let outsiders see you as a joke.””The Xie family was also giving Xiao Baoxin face by paying this sum of money.
Xiao Baoxin nodded.
“Yesterday, my granddaughter-in-law was too impulsive. It’s just that when I heard the rumors back then, I really couldn’t help it.”
Mother Xie smiled.” Do you think Grandmother will be unhappy?”
His face was full of wrinkles. It would be a lie to say that he was unhappy.
“I know very well what kind of personality you have. As for Madam Zhou, I can’t say that you didn’t handle it well, but I can’t say how well you handled it. But you have this kind of temper, and you’re loyal.”
“There’s no need to change it. Our madam should have such boldness.”
Perhaps it was because she had lived for so many years and had experienced too much. Compared to strategizing and seizing the opportunity to strike a fatal blow, Mother Xie valued Xiao Baoxin’s frank handling of the matter more. The former was too thoughtful and could not be befriended, but the latter was transparent and upright.
At least, the Xie family didn’t need to be wronged now. They had to show their talents.
If you hide your strength and bide your time, others will think that you are secretly holding back evil.
He had to put it on the table and give a warning to those who wanted to scheme against the Xie family.
Xiao Baoxin was so touched that he was about to cry. His grandmother was too warm and powerful. From the moment she entered the Xie family, she had been supportive of her and had never said a word against her. “Grandmother… You really are my grandmother!”
Mother Xie was laughing so hard that she was about to suffocate. These words were so straightforward. If she was good to her, she was her biological grandmother.. If not, she was an outsider?
