Chapter 909: 909-Ashamed
My Ferocious Tigress Wife
âGrandmother, donât worry. I have my own plans.âXie Xian comforted Mother Xie.
Old Mrs. Han had been so angry recently that there were blisters at the corner of her mouth.
âHow can you be at ease just because you say so? Me too. The older I get, the less experienced I am.âShe raised her eyes and glanced at Xie Xian.â
Xie Xian lightly shook his head.
âAt the beginning, I sent someone to investigate the owner of the casino. That person was not instructed by anyone. It was purely a coincidence that Third Uncle heard it.â
âI believe that it is very likely that someone took the opportunity to cause trouble after knowing about it, rather than doing it deliberately.â
âLooking at this personâs actions, heâs conservative and careful. He doesnât publicize it wantonly. Instead, he uses rumors to guide and reason things out, waiting for things to ferment.â
âHe is patient, shrewd, and overly cautiousâ¦â
âYou mean Jiang Xia Prince?â Mother Xie hesitated.â
Xie Xian smiled. It was obvious that Prince Jiang Xiaâs conservative and cautious personality had been deeply rooted in his heart. When this was mentioned, the first person Grandmother thought of was him.
âThereâs no evidence.â
Even though Yang Fengming was present at the Ruyi Pavilion, there was also a gathering of the young masters of the Cai and Xi families. There was no evidence, and it was even impossible to mention it on the table. After all, anyone could have heard it.
âWhat does King Jiang Xia mean?â
âCould it be that he really wants to walk the same path as the Prince of Huaiyang?âThe old lady could not understand why everyone was targeting her grandson.
No matter how capable his grandson was, he was still a subject. No matter what, he should have made a move on the emperor, right?
People said to capture the thief and capture the king, but why was it that when it came to his grandson, he had to shoot the horse first?
Pei, pei, pei, pei, his grandson was not a horse!
Xie Xian had a question mark on his face.â Did Grandmother eat too much salt?âWhy did he keep spitting?
âWhy donât you drink some tea?â
Mother Xie took the teacup from her grandson and took a sip. She felt a little thirsty after vomiting.
âWhat do you want to do about this?â
âLetâs wait and see.â Xie Xian said.
It was as if he had said nothing.
Mother Xie glanced at Xie Xian. Fine, she was old and young. If she didnât want her to get involved, she might as well not get involved.
âItâs not that I donât want to talk to Mother Xie, but nowâs not the time. The Emperor was suspicious and fickle now, and he had always been wary of Jiang Xia King. It was impossible to predict whether Jiang Xia Prince would be able to survive until He Jinâs grandson. There were too many variables.â
âItâs rare for the world to be at peace now. The imperial treasury has long been empty. There are droughts and floods everywhere.â
He was afraid that the slightest spark would ignite a raging fire and bury the already unstable Liang.
North Wu had suffered a great loss in Yongzhou, and they were waiting for revenge. Once North Wu recovered, the war between Liang and Wu would be inevitable. It would only depend on which side recovered faster.
Jiang Xia King was not a concern. What he was afraid of was that once Jiang Xia King was forced to rebel or killed by the Emperor, someone would use this opportunity to cause trouble.
Xie Xian did not want to take this risk.
âGrandson is thinking of the country and the people.â
In this area, he could tolerate any fight to the death.
However, if the internal strife consumed the rise and fall of the commoners, the price would be too high. At least, the current Daliang Empire could not afford it.
âTherefore, this incident can only be⦠There is no evidence. He could only say this to the emperor. As for who he suspected, he could suspect.â
Towards Emperor Yong Ping, this startled bird, Xie Xian was already speechless.
He looked at everyone as if they were his enemies, as if they were stabbing him in the back.
Mother Xie sighed.â Itâs good that you know what youâre doing. Bring more guards with you when you go out.â
Xie Xian nodded in agreement, and the conversation between the grandfather and grandson ended here.
Mother Xie also knew that her grandson had a plan in his heart. It was useless to say more, and it would make her seem like a naggy person. Xiao Baoxin did not have to worry so much. He held her little hand and made her worry about Xie Xianâs safety, telling her about Prince Jiang Xiaâs wild ambitions.
âI donât know why Iâm always targeting Ah Lang. I donât dare to say it, and I donât dare to ask. Itâs said that thereâs no such thing as a thief for a thousand days, but when it comes to me, I have to be on guard. You two have a good relationship, and youâre by his side every day. You must persuade him to be more careful and carefulâ¦â
âKing Jiang Xia has always been cautious. Otherwise, he wouldnât have lived until now. He served three emperors, but when a dog is desperate, it will even jump over a wall.â
Her words were rough, but her reasoning was not. However, Xiao Baoxin knew in his heart that she and Xie Xian had no secrets. Xie Xian could not hide it even if he wanted to.
âGrandmother, donât worry. Even if Ah Lang is in the residence, there are people protecting him in secret. There are many men of sacrifice in the residence, and he is extremely careful when he goes out. Jiang Xia King was cautious, but so was Ah Lang.â
Xie Xian was just short of surrounding himself with an upper iron cylinder. He had to pay attention to his own safety.
Mother Xie didnât believe Xie Xianâs words. She was afraid that he might be hiding something because he was worried about her. However, she trusted Xiao Baoxin completely.
It wasnât anything else. The happiness of the granddaughter-in-law was written all over her face.
Especially when it was related to Xie Xianâs life, she would definitely not lie to him.
Mother Xie finally calmed down.
If Jiang Xia King wanted to mess around, then so be it. It would depend on how he fought with Emperor Yong Ping.
As a woman, she didnât have any other desires except for the safety of her home and the peace of the world. However, the bigger ones were not within her control. What she was worried about was only enough for this one mu of land.
There was even less that he could do. Now, the court had Third Master Xie and Xie Qing, and the true pillar of the family was Xie Xian.
She should just live well and strive to live a long life. It was fine to make things difficult for his son, but his grandson was already worried at home because of Mrs. Yuanâs death. He could not let him take over. Three years after three years, he was done.
Now that she was still alive, no matter if it was Third Xie or Little Xie Jiu, they wouldnât dare to cause any trouble with her around. Everything was under her control.
If she really died, who knew what kind of wild ambitions she would have?
Mother Xie sometimes couldnât help but think about these stupid things while practicing. Fortunately, she only learned a little. Otherwise, if she was distracted, wouldnât she have gone crazy from practicing?
Xiao Baoxin silently withdrew his hand.
Other things aside, the old lady was the most self-aware.
She was clearly far away from going berserk. She was 1.4 billion times more than Third Master Xie. There was really no need to worry.
The handover between the grandfather and grandson ended here. Because of Mother Xieâs exhortations, Xiao Baoxin had to supervise the secret guards around Xie Xian again and again. Now, he had borrowed a good hand from Sikong Xiao who had killed enemies on the battlefield many times. The secret guards âreaction speed was still quite good, and they almost cut off Xie Xianâs headâ¦
The secret guard was completely stunned. No one would have thought that the person Xiao Baoxin had called into the manor would suddenly attack Master Lang, and he was so scared that he almost peed!
When he looked at his master again, his expression did not change even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him. He was actually so calm and composed that he still had the leisure to drink tea. He was ashamed of himself!
