Chapter 258 - 258: Bad Luck
Madam Xie didn’t know about the twists and turns between the father and daughter. Her heart ached for her son who had left home. Just the clothes and utensils he carried with him were packed into three big ox carts. She was afraid that he wouldn’t be used to the local food. In addition, she packed a cart full of cured meat, fish, all kinds of food, snacks, and pancakes. She swept through all the shops in Jiankang City.
Even after sending Xiao Baoshu away, he was still calculating what he would get someone to send over in two days. He wanted to pack himself up and leave with his son. How could he have the mood to put it elsewhere?
When he heard Xiao Baoxin’s words, he suddenly came back to his senses. Yes, the second wife of the Xiao family was getting married tomorrow. She was marrying Yang Shao, who he had snatched from his daughter.
Madam Xiao was dissatisfied with the Second Lady and even more dissatisfied with Yang Shao. She did not have the slightest bit of solicitousness to climb up to a high door, and was as cold as if she did not have this kind of relationship. She had finally managed to get married. The night before, when she sent Xiao Baoshu off, she had complained to her.
Not to look at Second Lady Xiao, but to look at Second Lady Xiao and her husband. Madam Xie reluctantly returned to the residence to wash up and change her clothes before going to Xiao Zhongcheng’s residence with Xiao Baoxin.
The two families were not far from each other. However, because they were sending Xiao Baoshu off, it was already close to noon when they arrived. The residence was deserted, and there was no liveliness like when Xiao Baoxin was putting on makeup.
Even the sound of a bird landing on the ground could be heard clearly.
After Xiao Jing ‘ai was conferred the title of Xingping County Lord, she had befriended many noble ladies. However, not to mention Yang Shao, who was later married to a commoner from a poor family, this marriage was something she had begged for. She had even begged the emperor, so her reputation was considered bad. As a result, none of the noble ladies she had befriended in the past had come. On the other hand, three to five close friends from the same humble family came, but they all sat and left.
When Xiao Baoxin walked into the room, Xiao Jing ‘ai was dressed up, but her face was colder than the atmosphere.
“Are you deliberately looking for trouble with me?”Even though Xiao Jing ‘ai had lived for 45 years, this difference still made her angry and unable to understand.
Xiao Baoshu and the Xu family had an in-laws marriage. This was something that had never happened in his previous life. It was simply a joke.
“You can choose any day, but you chose the day when 1 put on makeup. You’re deliberately trying to disgust me!”
She didn’t even notice the looks from her friends, and she laughed so hard that she almost died of laughter.
“What is Second Niangzi saying? My family’s Furen is here to help Second Niangzi put on makeup. She didn’t even say a polite word before scolding people.”Cai Wei didn’t want to do it anymore.
Xiao Baoxin didn’t stop him and said with a smile,”
“If I could choose, 1 might choose your wedding day. If two siblings were together, one marrying and the other marrying, wouldn’t that be double happiness?”
Xiao Jing ‘ai was so angry that her entire body was trembling.” Can you be any more shameless?””Was he speaking in the human language?
“Hey, watch what you say. You have a bad mouth, but my hands are still bad.”Xiao Baoxin’s face also dropped.” If you don’t want to be out of the court tomorrow and unable to meet anyone, then you can talk your way out of it.”
After he finished speaking, he instructed Cai Wei to put down the makeup gift and turned to leave, not even bothering to entertain him.
Cai Wei stuffed the sandalwood box into the hands of the maid closest to her. She humphed heavily and trotted out after Xiao Baoxin.
Xiao Jing ‘ai was so angry that she couldn’t speak. Was she here to add makeup to her?
He was clearly here to make things difficult for her!
They were both reborn. Why did Xiao Baoxin marry into the Xie family and have a smooth life, while her marriage could be counted with one palm?
In the past, she had always felt that Yang Shao would one day achieve great things and make these noble ladies of Jiankang City kneel at her feet.
However, the closer the marriage was to her, the more uneasy she felt. The message she received from the maid told her that the difference between the present and the previous life was too great. Yang Shao was still trapped in Jiankang and could not come out…
When would the world return to the right track!?
It must be because of Xiao Baoxin, who knew what happened in the future. Because of her influence, such a huge change happened!
Xiao Jing ‘ai’s eyes were dark. She walked to the maid and snatched the wooden box. She threw it on the ground. The wooden box broke into pieces, revealing a gold-inlaid bracelet with nine dragons playing with pearls. It was expensive, but it was not for her age. She was young and could not suppress it.
It was obvious that this gift was a show of face for outsiders.
“.. Wifey don’t be angry, tomorrow is wifey’s big day, you should be happy.”The maid beside her couldn’t stand it anymore. The eldest lady had gone too far and even came knocking on her door.
They were even cousins. They couldn’t even compare to outsiders. Just by looking at those few words, it was full of arrogance and didn’t take others seriously. Even if she married into a great clan, she wouldn’t have to be so arrogant and humiliate her sisters like this.
The maid felt injustice for her Second Lady. Her Second Lady had always been gentle and demure. She was very generous to the servants. When she saw the Eldest Lady, she made her Second Lady angry. She was going too far.
“Happy? What’s there to be happy about?”Xiao Jing ‘ai sneered and handed the gold bracelet to the maid who comforted her. “Take it. It’s a reward for you. You can keep it or sell it.”
The other maid’s eyes were filled with jealousy. If she had known that she could get such a big benefit just by saying a word, she would have jumped up and scolded the eldest lady.
“I also don’t know why the Eldest Lady is so arrogant. She married into an aristocratic family, but who doesn’t know that Xie Xian is a sickly person… Unlike our uncle, who is strong and a general. Other than his family background, what else is better than Xie Xian?”
” As the saying goes, heroes don’t ask where they come from-”
“Alright, all of you can leave. Let me be alone.”Xiao Jing ‘ai impatiently chased them out. “No matter who comes, 1 won’t see them.”
Hero, Yang Shao was indeed a hero in his previous life.
He was the great hero who saved Daliang from the chaotic world, but in this life, he would never be able to last!

Xiao Baoxin walked out of Xiao Jing ‘ai’s courtyard and arrived at Xiao Miaorong’s courtyard in a few steps. Xiao Miaorong had only gone through the motions and sent her makeup over early before returning to her residence to draw.
When the two sisters met, Xiao Miaorong couldn’t help but sigh,
“Elder sister married a woman, even Baoshu is married…” She was only older than Baoshu by less than half a year, but she had always regarded herself as an elder sister. This time, when Xiao Baoshu left Jiankang, she had secretly sent him a hundred taels of silver. She had saved up for half a year.
“It’ll be your turn next year.” Xiao Baoxin patted her head.
Xiao Miaorong was still not enlightened and only smiled,”We’re all grown up. Sister, shouldn’t you be having a baby next year? Yesterday, I was talking to Mother about you. You’re lucky and will definitely get a boy in one fell swoop.” Xiao Baoxin,”Can’t you two talk about something healthy? Why are you talking about having children?”
Speaking of which, Xie Xian’s hard work might not be wrong.
As she spoke, Xiao Baoxin was led astray by her..
