Chapter 704 - The Results of the Scheming

The Results of the Scheming

Translator: 549690339 |

Mother Xie usually did not participate in the Xie family’s decision-making. She spent all her time in the back of the house and gave Xie Xian full authority to do it.

Xie Xian was her biological grandson, and she had watched him grow up bit by bit.

She knew clearly that Xie Xian was a cold person.

The person in his heart was naturally sincere, but Xiao Ning had arrived in Jiankang halfway. The Xie and Xiao families had not interacted for many years. Not to mention Xiao Ning, they were not even close to Provincial Governor Xiao’s nephew and uncle.

In his eyes, she, Mrs. Yuan, Xie Wan, Xiao Baoxin, Xie Yan, and the others, including the uncles, brothers, and sisters of the second and third families, were all dispensable.

Xiao Ning was even more difficult to count. She had only seen her a few times.

Mother Xie probably didn’t say it clearly, so Xie Xian really didn’t take it to heart.”Doesn’t the palace still have the power of our Xie Clan? Do your best to protect the Empress’s child.”

“What is it? Provincial Governor Xiao is dead-the Empress’s father, our Great Furen’s nephew?!”

“What is it? The Empress is pregnant again?”

“Consort Qi De’s stomach is bleeding? Did you save it?” Madam Cai felt as if she had eaten a cart full of melons, and her facial features were about to change shape.

Although Madam Cai had scolded her own son and sent her daughter away, after calming down and thinking about it carefully, she felt that she had been too harsh.

After all, they had been together for three or four years. She knew Twelfth Madam Wang’s character. She would never speak ill of her in front of her son. Moreover, the couple were not that close.

Even if Wang Shier’s wife brought his illegitimate son into the residence, it did not stop the concubines in the back of his residence from competing with him.

Finally, Little Thirteen was coaxed to sleep. She called for Twelfth Madam Wang, but who knew that she didn’t come. She even heard that she had entered the palace with Xiao Baoxin.

She wouldn’t go to the palace to complain about this trivial matter. Lady Cai still had some brains.

Who knew that when she came back and asked, she would be so full after eating so many melons.

“.. Don’t look at how our Grand Madam looks like she’s calm and collected. In fact, she’s the most familiar with her family and treats people kindly. Knowing that Provincial Governor Xiao was dead, how could she be sad?” “It’s fine for others, but what about the Empress?” Madame Cai sighed. After his father died, all the brothers and sisters in the family had to observe filial piety.

Even if the Emperor wanted to praise her, he couldn’t. Wouldn’t the Empress be suppressed and beaten by the concubines of aristocratic families in the future?”

It was rare for Twelfth Madam Wang to get Lady Cai’s good face. Even if she had nothing to say, she had to force it out, let alone such a big melon.

“There’s also Uncle. Our Xie family and the Xiao family are also relatives.”

“Cai Yuanshi is your uncle’s aunt, and the Cai and Xie families have been on good terms for generations.”Madam Cai had a ‘I am a chestnut’ expression on her face.

Twelfth Madam Wang choked.

It was indeed the truth.

When her uncle went berserk, she was also convinced that he did not recognize anyone.

Although the Wang Clan was courting death by getting involved in the fight for the Crown Prince, in the end, it was said that Xie Xian was the one who wiped them out. No one would object. Although the killing order was given by Emperor Yong Ping, without Xie Xian and Sikong Xiao, Emperor Yong Ping was just a piece of meat on the chopping board. He did not even have the chance to turn the tables.

One was the Wang Clan, her maiden clan, and the other was the Cai Clan, her mother-in-law’s in-law clan. All of them had been destroyed by her eldest uncle…

Wang Shierniang trembled.

“Actually…As long as he doesn’t have any ill intentions and wants to hurt our Xie family, First Uncle won’t turn his back on us…Alright.”

“That’s true. Actually, I was only talking about Xie Xian. Don’t look at him as a pretty and kind person, but he’s actually very meticulous and ruthless.”

Just the matter of Xie Qing’s official career had allowed Second Master Xie to understand Xie Xian.

He schemed against people to the extreme, and he was also calm and confident to the extreme.

He even thought that Xiao Baoxin was the result of his calculations.

After all, heroes were judged by results. The Xie family was respected in literature, and the Xiao family was respected in martial arts. The marriage between Xie and Xiao, which no one thought highly of back then, had now maximized its benefits and controlled half of Daliang’s territory.

Xie Xian treated Xiao Baoxin like an eyeball, doting on him to the extreme, fearing his wife like a tiger, and also doting on his wife like a crazy demon.

Second Master Xie found it hard to believe that without Xie Xian’s connivance, this kind of news would have spread to every corner of the city. It would even spread to the surrounding Jiankang City.

He suspected that some of this was the result of Xie Xian’s calculations.

When Madam Cai heard Second Master Xie’s words, she felt a chill down her spine. Even now, she still felt a lingering fear when she thought about it.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were gossiping and eating idle melons when Twelfth Madam Wang suddenly changed the topic and admitted her mistake.

“Mother, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have agreed to Jiulang’s request without my mother’s permission…Back then, for my sake, mother even rejected all of Jiu Lang’s requests…”

Lady Cai sighed and said,”That’s enough. I know everything.” ”

“The two of us don’t have a family to rely on, so we can only rely on each other.”

This sentence made Wang Shier Niang cry like rain, and it was said to the crack in her heart.

“Mother…! was wrong…Let mother be sad and disappointed, sob sob sob…” She really didn’t expect that Xie Qing would bring her mistress into the house just as she nodded her head. She could at least ask her mother-in-law. Could it be that she would really let her grandson wander outside?

Didn’t she just fit inside?

“Alright, don’t cry anymore. I’ve also thought it through. It’s just that Jiulang is disappointing.”Madam Cai’s chubby face pulled into a long line. “He didn’t succeed at all. When he was young, he was still a prodigy. I even asked him to hide his skills. There was no need to hide. It was unnecessary. Compared to Dalang, he was simply buried in the ground.”

Twelfth Mother Wang thought,’How angry is mother-in-law to say such ruthless words?’ She still remembered that when Xie Qinglang was outside, his mother-in-law had always praised Xie Qing, so much so that there weren’t any good sons in the world.

“Mother is not poking into your heart. You don’t have a family to rely on now, so you have to stand up for yourself. How could he so casually agree to Jiulang bringing the child from outside into the fu—what did you promise him, and what did he promise you?”

Wang Shierniang shook her head.

“You, what should I say about you? You’re too orthodox. If you don’t control him now, when will you? Did you see the backyard calm down after he returned home? The two dead men outside the house had nothing to do with the girls in the backyard. You’re too honest.”

Lady Cai was disappointed.

Back then, she was the daughter-in-law that Mother Xie had taken a fancy to. She married into the Xie family. Although she was also a bastard son, she had been on tenterhooks for a long time, afraid of being rubbed against. However, over the years, although Mother Xie did not treat her very warmly, she had never mistreated her or the Second household.

As a result, when Lady Cai married her daughter-in-law, she treated Twelfth Madam Wang with the same kindness.

However, unlike Mother Xie, Twelfth Madam Wang was her son’s daughter-in- law. Moreover, her son was so unreliable. He had just married and was already wandering outside. If he didn’t catch his wife, it would be enough for the second branch to choke.

As time passed, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law developed a true relationship. No matter how they looked at their son, who had come back from fooling around, they were not pleasing to the eye.

Xie Qing’s hand awkwardly stopped at the door. Madam Cai had been looking for Twelfth Madam Wang for half a day, and her face was already green. He was afraid that his mother would catch him, and if Twelfth Madam Wang suffered a loss, she would be saved.

In the end, what did he hear?

A mother teaching her daughter-in-law how to control her own son online…

Was he going to leave, or go, or go?

If he didn’t leave, would he keep staring at the maid by the door?

Eh, this maid really had one big eye and one small eye!
