Chapter 115: Big Lady, Respect Yourself

Translator: 549690339

When Xie Xian heard Madam Xie’s tone, he felt that something was wrong. Clearly, something had happened in between.

...

Yang Shao had personally asked Pan Shuo to invite the mistress of the Pan family to the Xiao family to propose marriage. According to Pan Shuo’s gossipy mouth, Madam Xie should be very satisfied. The two families had a good talk. If it wasn’t for the fact that General Xiao was fighting outside, they would probably have made a decision.

Regarding Yang Shao’s marriage, Pan Shuo had always been the one broadcasting the announcement, and he would listen to it regularly.

However, ever since the scandal between him and Xiao Baoxin was spread, Pan Shuo became a little more serious. Since then, he had kept his mouth shut and never talked about the progress of Yang Shao’s marriage.

However, to be able to make the worried Xie Furen sneer, Yang Shao must have touched the Xiao family’s reverse scale.

It was just that Xie Furen didn’t want to say it, so Xie Xian didn’t ask anymore.

“Eldest Lady is extraordinary and has the bearing of a country. There will definitely be people who have discerning eyes. Aunt, don’t worry.”Xie Xian said. “Eldest Lady is not worthy of an ordinary person.”

Extraordinariness meant that Bao Xin was different from other gentle and demure ladies.

Guo Guozi, did that mean that she would beat up whoever she liked?

Madam Xie quickly stopped her wild thoughts. She was already traumatized. Whenever anyone praised her daughter, she would subconsciously suspect that they were insinuating and scolding her.

“That’s right. Auntie is considerate, filial, intelligent, and open-minded. Instead of marrying a young man who has no taste, 1 might as well stay by my side and raise him.”

Madam Xie straightened her back. The straighter the back, the more empty the heart. She was sixteen now, and she was an old lady.

The topic of this meeting was very awkward. After Madam Xie finished asking, there was nothing else to talk about. It was obvious that Xie Xian had taken all the responsibility on himself, but he had no intention of proposing marriage. She did not know whether to thank him or scold him for not liking her daughter.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Madam Xie expressed her concern for Xie Xian’s health before Xie Xian stood up and left.

When they left the Xiao Manor, the rain was already heavy.

Qing Feng walked forward with the straw raincoat draped over his shoulders and held up the oil-paper umbrella. On the other side, Ming Yue had already put on the straw raincoat for Xie Xian.

In the evening, the sky was dark and the rain was heavy. Xie Xian took a few steps down the stairs and got into the car. Even so, his shoes were completely wet, and most of his clothes were wet from the rain.

Xie Xian got into the carriage. Under the curtain, Xie Xian sighed faintly.

“Big lady, you’re too much.”

Xiao Baoxin, who was dressed as a man, was sitting in the car. The moment the curtain was lifted, one could barely recognize Xiao Baoxin’s devastatingly beautiful face. After the curtain was pulled down, there was no light coming in. It was dark, and there was only the unique fragrance of a young girl.

” The rain wasn’t that heavy when I came in. What should 1 do?” Xiao Baoxin laughed.”We can’t leave now.”

The ox cart slowly moved. Xie Xian sighed and said,”What advice do you have, Eldest Lady?”

“Did my mother find you to denounce her?”

“.. Yes.”

“You rejected him?”

“Yes.”

” Oh,” Xiao Baoxin replied.” Why did you refuse?”

“I thought 1 made it clear last time that I didn’t want to.”Xie Xian softly said.

However, that’s not what your heart says.

Xiao Baoxin naturally could not say such words. She only said,”I’m willing.”

Xie Xian was speechless.

” Big lady, you’ve got a lot of respect.”

“I don’t want to.”

H H

Xie Xian couldn’t see her face clearly, but he could still hear her arrogance from her voice. Her expression was probably disapproving, and her chin was slightly raised, making her look very mischievous and cute.

The car wasn’t cramped and was more than enough to fit four people. However, for some reason, perhaps it was too dark inside the car, but the girl’s body fragrance filled the air, making Xie Xian feel as if he was sitting on pins and needles.

If it weren’t for the heavy rain outside, he would have jumped out of the car and left.

“I have a question for you.” Xiao Baoxin’s voice suddenly sounded.

Xie Xian:” 1 just don’t want to. It has nothing to do with Eldest Lady. Last time…” I’m sorry for the damage to the lady’s reputation. However, a forced melon was not sweet, and a big lady did not have to be like this.”

Xiao Baoxin:” I want to ask, when did you get to know General Yang Shao? What do you think of his character?”

Xie Xian was very embarrassed. Alright, he was overthinking things.

“.. I met General Yang through Assistant Minister Pan. Although we don’t have a deep relationship, 1 feel that this person has a cool personality, is unrestrained, and is very righteous. Although he is young, he is full of ambition.” He spoke his mind.

Pan Shuo introduced them?

“In other words, you only got to know Yang Shao after he was promoted to the position of General?”

What exactly did she want to ask?

Xie Xian’s heart was filled with question marks. It was obvious that Yang Shao was not in Madam Xie’s favor and did not want to mention the matter of marriage again. Why did Lady Xiao keep asking Yang Shao?

How could he know that Xiao Baoxin’s heart was now filled with the spoils of Xiao Jing ‘ai’s previous life? Yang Shao had encountered several crises in the court, but it was all thanks to Xie Xian’s protection in the court.

What Xie Xian was talking about now, they only got to know each other after Yang Shao was promoted to the General of the Direct Pavilion.

In his previous life, there was no Yang Shao who was promoted to a general.

After the Yuan family had withdrawn their engagement, they quickly got married and left Jiankang City. The turning point of their current life was when Xiao Jing ‘ai was reborn. They had fought for Xiao Baoshu. As a turning point, it was completely different from their previous life. And before that, everything had developed as it had in his previous life. Nothing had changed.

A young master from an aristocratic family, an important official of the court, and a lowly child from a poor family in Jiankang City. How did they get together?

Even someone as confident as Xiao Baoxin felt that he was a little too thick-skinned to think this way. That was only because of her!

Everything about Xie Xian had not changed because of Xiao Jing ‘ai’s rebirth. If he liked her, it could only mean that he liked her in his previous life.

And the reason why he repeatedly helped Yang Shao, could it be because of her?

Xiao Baoxin cupped his face, his face burning with embarrassment.

Isn’t it too beautiful to think like this?

This world wouldn’t be able to bear the beauty of her dreams, right?

The sharp Xie Xian naturally immediately sensed Xiao Baoxin’s absent-mindedness. Although the sky was dark and the rain was heavy, the people living in Qingxi Alley were either rich or noble. The main thing was that they were all officials of the imperial court. Once it was dark, all the houses hung lanterns. The light that seeped in from outside made him clearly see Xiao Baoxin’s shy action of holding his face. Immediately, he felt a wave of irritation in his heart.

“We’ll take a detour back to the Xiao Manor’s back alley.” Xie Xian knocked on the carriage.

However, because the rain was too loud, there was no reaction from outside. Xie Xian was just about to open the curtain when he was stopped by Xiao Baoxin.

“Please wait a moment, 1 haven’t finished speaking.”

Xie Xian took a deep breath.” Eldest Lady, you and I are alone in the car together. Do you still want your reputation when outsiders see you?” If you have any doubts, why don’t you wait for your father to come back and let him decide? Your father is knowledgeable and has his own way of judging people. It seems that he doesn’t know the relationship between him and General Yang, so he can’t give Eldest Lady more information.”

“Please have some self-respect…”
