Chapter 176: Chapter 176: Unforeseen Changes

Xiao Baoxin was shocked. This guy had suddenly become smarter.
‘The problem is, how would I know any insider information!’
Xiao Jing ‘ai gritted her teeth. She also hated herself for being stupid back then. After marrying into the He family, she followed the rules. In the beginning, she used all sorts of methods to compete with He Xiaolang’s cousins and concubines. How could she have the time to pay attention to the news outside? Especially when it came to the news in the court, He Xiaolang would not show his face for three to five days. Even as a lousy secretary, he would not be able to come into contact with any secrets.
By the time she felt that something was wrong, it was already the time when the Crown Prince ascended the throne and killed the descendants of the Imperial Family and the important officials in the court. Everyone was in danger. Only then did she realize that the world was about to change.
After that, the King of Huaiyang colluded with the palace guards to kill the Crown Prince who had just ascended the throne a few months ago. He ascended the throne himself and then killed a round of descendants of the Song family. All the places began to rebel.
In less than half a year, Yang Shao supported Emperor Yuheng’s ninth son, Song Yicheng, who was only thirteen years old and was the governor of Jiangzhou, and returned to Jiankang for the emperor.
In the meantime, Jiankang City was going to be in a mess. No one had the mood to hold banquets, socialize, or do favors. In this troubled autumn, they wished they could hide at home and avoid disaster. Especially for someone like her, her family had fallen, and she had no status in her in-laws ‘family. Even if it was rare for a family to hold a banquet, it was not her turn to participate.
“Do you know who killed Noble Consort Liu?”Xiao Baoxin suddenly asked.
“How would I know? And even if I knew, why would 1 tell you?”Xiao Jing ‘ai came back to her senses and stared at Xiao Baoxin without blinking. “Noble Consort Liu was killed? It was actually…Killed?”
‘It would be weird if I knew…In his previous life, could it be that he didn’t die of illness and was killed by someone?’
There was no need to listen to Xiao Jing ‘ai’s inner thoughts anymore. Other than matters related to himself, this fellow knew nothing about the court or the world.
Xiao Baoxin resentfully retracted his hand. She had been too reliant on Xiao Jing ’ai, this half-baked reincarnator. As expected, she was ignorant of the world and only cared about the small piece of land in front of her. She was a little lady with zero political sensitivity.
Just like that, he actually wanted to come back and take advantage of the situation. He saw that the other party was an emperor in his previous life, so he wanted to take advantage of the situation. He didn’t even think about what he had to do.
The heavens gave you an opportunity, and you treat yourself as someone’s biological daughter, tyrannizing and calling the shots?
Even if he had that kind of life, it depended on whether he had that kind of brain.
Judging from her inner thoughts, what else could she rely on other than knowing the trajectory of the future?
In fact, since she married Yang Shao, this life was no longer the same as her previous life. Unfortunately, Xiao Jing ‘ai could not understand.
Now that Noble Consort Liu was dead, she finally had a hint of realization. Only then did she realize that the present world was really different from her previous life. Xiao Baoxin didn’t even know whether to call her slow or optimistic.
There was no need to stay any longer. Xiao Baoxin had only come here to confirm one thing. No matter what happened in the future, he did not have to listen to Xiao Jing ‘ai’s inner thoughts. She did not know anything.
“What do you mean?” Seeing that Xiao Baoxin was about to turn around and leave, Xiao Jing ‘ai couldn’t stand it.” You can come and go as you please. What do you want?””
Xiao Baoxin turned around and asked in puzzlement,”
“Didn’t you say that you wouldn’t tell me anything? Then why am I still here? My time is also very precious.”
Xiao Jing ‘ai was speechless.” I can tell you, but you have to give me something in return. We both get what we need.””He said it righteously.
He actually raised the price on the spot. Xiao Baoxin secretly nodded. At least he was not stupid.
“What do you want in return?” Xiao Baoxin was interested and crossed his arms calmly.
Xiao Jing ‘ai pursed her lips, then got up and approached Xiao Baoxin. She stopped two steps away from her and looked at her with her almond-shaped eyes.”l want you to transfer Yang Shao to Jiang Prefecture as the prefect.” Xiao Baoxin smiled. So he was waiting for her here. “Who do you think I am?” “You’re no one, but big uncle is Si Kong. He will do it, I believe.”He believed that Sikong Xiao was the mastermind in his previous life.
He really couldn’t take compliments.
Everything had changed. Only Xiao Jing ‘ai, that silly fool, was still stubbornly living her life in her previous life. In her previous life, Yang Shao had started his career in Jiangzhou, so she thought that as long as Yang Shao went to Jiangzhou to be the prefect, Yang Shao would still be the emperor according to the track of her previous life.
Indeed, he was very silly and naive.
Xiao Baoxin looked at her with a calm gaze. After a while, he said,”Alright, 1’11 think of a way to let Abba try.”After saying that, he turned around and left.
Xiao Jingai was really dumbfounded. She grabbed Xiao Baoxin’s hand. She was still waiting for Xiao Baoxin to beg her for an answer. Why did he leave?
“You… Don’t you want to ask me anything?”
“I haven’t even gotten an official position for Yang Shao from my father. You wouldn’t tell me if I asked you.”Xiao Baoxin smiled and gently pulled his wrist out of her hand before walking out of the room.
Xiao Jing ‘ai blinked, feeling that something was wrong.
However, Xiao Baoxin was indeed telling the truth. She did not see any practical benefits. With just one sentence from Xiao Baoxin, she could not tell her everything from the bottom of her heart.
What made her feel uncomfortable was that Xiao Baoxin was still high and mighty. He did not have the attitude of begging others, and she did not feel the pleasure of being above Xiao Baoxin.
Her information was too limited. If Xiao Baoxin had not come here, she might not have received news of Liu Guifei’s death.
Xiao Jing ‘ai gritted her teeth. She didn’t have a capable maid by her side. Bi Yu was chased to the manor by Xiao Baoxin and her arm was broken!
She had to think carefully about what kind of information she would give to deceive Xiao Baoxin when he came to beg her in the future!
###
When Xie Xian learned that he and Xiao Baoxin had already set up a marriage agreement, it was the day before the Double Ninth Festival when Mother Xie’s letter arrived. Although Mother Xie’s heart was entirely on her eldest grandson’s side, her thoughts were different from Madam Yuan’s. She felt that this matter should not be hidden from Xie Xian. He should know, even if he was mentally prepared to overcome all difficulties. He should not only know about the marriage between the Xie and Xiao families from other people’s mouths.
Therefore, the matter of sending the betrothal gifts to the Xiao family was set in stone. Mother Xie sent someone to Kuaiji.
At that time, the matter of Yu Ming leading his private army to confront the Imperial Court had been resolved.
Although Yu Ming had the intention to resist, and even though Xie Xian personally led the Central Army to quell the chaos, he still had the intention to fight against the Central Army.
Xue Jing ‘er had made great contributions and killed many people in all directions. In just three days, he had broken through Yu Ming’s defenses and killed more than ten Yu clansmen. Xie Xian tried his best to dismiss the heavy discussion and beheaded Yu Ming and his confidants.
This action shocked the Wu Clan, and there were already people pressuring the court to impeach Xie Xian.
Xie Xian naturally didn’t take it to heart. In the evening, he drank a cup of tea and opened the letter that was sealed with the Xie Clan’s special seal. He read it ten lines at a glance. The tea in his mouth almost choked him to death. He coughed so hard that it shook the heavens and earth. Beside him, Qingfeng and Mingyue seemed to be facing a great enemy.
“Master Lang, did something happen at home?”
