Chapter 74 - 74: Evil Nature
Xiao Jing ‘ai was slightly stunned, thinking that Xiao Baoxin’s mouth was sour.
“Thanks to the love of the emperor and empress, 1 am extremely grateful and terrified.”
“No, I’m not saying that I’ll be conferred the title of county head.”Xiao Baoxin lazily leaned on the beauty couch, fiddling with the half-finished tea in his hands. “I’m talking about the marriage with the He family. Speaking of which, Second Mother still has to thank me. If she didn’t use me to build a raft, how could the He family break off the engagement so quickly?”
Xiao Jing ‘ai’s expression changed.
She swaggered in and Xiao Baoxin casually entertained her. The maids and old women in the room were all listening.
Xiao Jing ‘ai couldn’t make up her mind. Xiao Baoxin didn’t want to see her for no reason. He couldn’t even be bothered to hide it. There was no doubt about it.
However, if one were to say that Xiao Baoxin was also reborn, he did not look like it. After all, he had never seen Xiao Baoxin so…Arrogant. In the past, there were rumors of Xiao Baoxin being domineering, but they were only rumors. They were not as unrestrained as they were now.
What was Xiao Baoxin doing?
Originally, she was here to show off and regain her dignity. Regardless of whether Xiao Baoxin was reborn or not, she, Xiao Jing ‘ai, was not afraid. She was doing better than in her previous life. At least in her previous life, she did not have the title of county head until she died. She was not valued in Yang Shao’s harem.
Who knew that when she met Xiao Baoxin, she had never won. Xiao Baoxin was always able to embarrass her with a few simple words.
Did this guy take the wrong medicine? Why did he keep charging around?
If Xiao Baoxin was not reborn, how would she know that she wanted to break off the marriage with the He family?
The more Xiao Jing ‘ai thought about it, the more terrified she felt. She couldn’t figure out Xiao Baoxin, which was the scariest thing.
“Sister, what are you saying…” In the blink of an eye, Xiao Jing ‘ai’s eyes were filled with tears, and her aggrieved look was completely revealed.
If Xiao Baoxin didn’t know her background, he would have really pitied her. With this unique skill of changing his face in an instant, even if he was born in a chaotic world, he would not starve to death. He would definitely be able to perform in any opera troupe.
“I don’t know how I offended elder sister, how could she misunderstand me like this.”
“How did I misunderstand you?” Xiao Baoxin stood up with a smile and went to her side to pat her head. “Look at you. I was just teasing you. You’re crying like the dog you raised when you were young.”
Xiao Jing ‘ai’s face could not hold it in anymore. Was he praising her or scolding her?
You’re the dog! Your entire family is like dogs!
“Ouch.” Xiao Jing ‘ai only felt Xiao Baoxin’s hand tug at her hair. She was so scared that her scalp almost fell off. “Sister, why arc you pulling my hair?”
Xiao Baoxin,[Your whole family is being called dogs.]
She even thought that she had been too lenient.
“Look at my hand. I accidentally wrapped my hair around my hand. Your hair isn’t very smooth.”Xiao Baoxin clicked his tongue and looked at Xiao Jing ‘ai’s hair with disdain. Xiao Jing’ ai’s lungs almost exploded from anger.
“Then it’s still my fault? It fell because of Sister’s hand.”
“Look at you, you’re so petty. I teased you a little and you’re really angry. If outsiders saw this, they would have to think about it. Second Mother had fallen out with the He family because of me. In the end, when she returned home, she fell out with me. It didn’t look like she had a deep sisterly relationship.”Xiao Baoxin gently stroked Xiao Jing ‘ai’s head.
Her actions were very warm, but when Xiao Jing ‘ai thought of Xiao Baoxin comparing her to a dog, she felt disgusted. She always felt that Xiao Baoxin was touching her like a dog.
“Sister, you must be joking. How am I angry? You can tease me, but I can’t tease you.”Xiao Jing ‘ai’s mood quickly changed. Her almond-shaped eyes stared at Xiao Baoxin without blinking.
“I heard from First Aunt that General Yang has invited a matchmaker to propose marriage to Sister. I haven’t congratulated Sister yet.”
Before Xiao Jingai could finish her words, she saw Xiao Baoxin’s smiling face instantly sink. Her heart suddenly thumped, not knowing what Xiao Baoxin was up to again.
“Dear, I told you last time that a girl shouldn’t go around asking about other men. Especially this Yang Shao, you’ve asked me more than once or twice, what are you planning?”
Xiao Baoxin said seriously,
“Although the He family has broken off your engagement, you have been conferred the title of county head by the emperor. You have to take care of your face and not act recklessly in the future. Do you still want your reputation? Do you still want your face?”
Xiao Jingxi was so angry that he was going to throw the dirt at her. Was Xiao Baoxin not going to stop until he spilled the dirt on her?
Before she could retort, Xiao Baoxin had already fired at the maid beside Xiao Jing ’ai.”
“You are the people around Second Lady. If you are not doing this for nothing, if Second Lady does such disgraceful things again, you have to remind her! Otherwise, don’t blame me for finding you!”
Everyone in the room knelt down, and all the maids and old women beside Xiao Jing ‘ai knelt down to admit their mistakes.
It could be said that the First household’s wife could not control the Second household, but the Xiao family had always been managed by Madam Xie, and Xiao Baoxin had always accumulated a lot of power, so that no one was dissatisfied and no one dared to object.
Xiao Jing ‘ai’s heart was burning with anger. She was the county head of the imperial county, and Xiao Baoxin had really used it. One had to look at the master to beat a dog. He would not let the dog off even if he beat the master. He would sweep everything away.
However, she did not dare to fall out with Xiao Baoxin. She had already made it clear. If they broke up now, it would be embarrassing not only for her, Xiao Baoxin, but also for Xiao Jing ‘ai. She had used Xiao Baoxin’s name to break off the engagement. The entire Jiankang knew that they were sisters. She had gained benefits from the fake sisterhood, and it was not easy to tear them apart.
“Sister, you’re exaggerating. I heard from First Aunt and Second Madam that they’re concerned about you. If sister doesn’t want to say it, then forget it.” Xiao Baoxin thought to himself, Forget it then.
Not a single word was revealed.
Xiao Jing ‘ai had come with a spring breeze, but when she left, she had a stomach full of anger. She even had a smile on her face. She was so angry that her stomach and stomach were hurting.
Never in her dreams would she have thought that she would spend so much effort to mess up Xiao Yang’s marriage, but in the end, everything would still develop according to the trajectory of history.
Yang Shao still proposed marriage to the Xiao family…
She had received the news, but Madam Xie did not agree immediately. However, this was enough to make her anxious.
It was also because of this anxiety that she had to carry the engagement with the He family. She couldn’t wait a few more years to be a widow and then seduce Yang Shao to enter her backyard, right?
What was the difference between that and being a concubine in her previous life?
Why was she reborn?
Xiao Jing ‘ai thought about it a few times. No matter what, she couldn’t marry into the He family. She was only destined to be a widow. That was why she found the right opportunity to provoke the anger of the He family’s madam and break off the engagement.
However, it was a pure surprise that she was conferred the title of county head. She had never thought about it at all.
Xiao Baoxin was evil and willful, but she was right about one thing: It could be considered that Xiao Baoxin had helped her reputation. If the two of them had a fight on the table, it would be fine if she was pointed at and gossiped about. However, if it reached the ears of the royal family, they would have a bad impression of her. She did not have any power or status at home and was not liked.. Didn’t she rely on the face given by the royal family to do things?
