Chapter 297 - 297: A Thousand Miles of Familiarity
297
In Sikong Xiao’s residence, the couple was so excited that they couldn’t sleep for half a night. They didn’t expect Xiao Baoxin to be so capable. He had gotten a man in one fell swoop, and they had only been married for more than a month.
Madam Xie was so agitated that she was wiping her tears.”I only thought that with my son-in-law’s body, it would be difficult for me to have an heir. Who knew…I didn’t expect that this was too fast. It gave our Xiao family too much face. Bao Xin was blessed. Her position in the Xie family was considered stable.”
The Xie family was a noble family, and the Xiao family was a noble family. The two of them knew in their hearts.
No matter how good Xie Xian’s performance was, it was all in vain. The little lady was marrying her entire husband’s family. No matter how much she won her husband’s heart, if she couldn’t win the favor of her mother-in-law, then it was all in vain. In the back residence, if the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not good, then there would be no good.
Just from the attitude of the servant boy who sent the message today, it could be seen how important the Xie family was. They even sent someone over in the middle of the night. It was obvious that they were overjoyed.
“From now on, my son-in-law has no shortcomings!”
Madam Xie cried and laughed, making Sikong Xiao confused. He was so happy that he went crazy.
“All Xian and Bao Xin’s child must be so beautiful. If it’s a boy, that’s amazing. “Madam Xie was happy for a long time, but she was a little nervous. “You’re so young and you can already tell that it’s a boy. Is it accurate? 1 wonder who found it.”
” Do you know that Madam Xie of Minister Qi’s family, her sister-in-law’s daughter-in-law was found out to be a boy, and her in-laws treated her like a baby. In the end, she gave birth to a girl. Because of this, she was often mocked. During the confinement period, she cried secretly. 1 heard that her eyes fell ill and she cried in the wind…”
The more Madam Xie spoke, the more afraid she became. She pushed Sikong Xiao,
“You should respond, but what should we do?”
“.. What’s the use of me answering? Can 1 even create a man for the Xie family?”
“Bah! I’m serious with you…”
“Are you serious?” Sikong Xiao was speechless. If he was serious, he wouldn’t have to worry about his daughter and son-in-law’s affairs. Now that he had a child, he didn’t have to worry about it anymore. He was starting to worry about having children again.
“The children are all from the Xie family. With a son-in-law’s body, the whole world should be celebrating that he has an heir so soon.”
“It’s better if it’s a boy. He has such a big family business. Someone has to inherit it. If he wanted a girl, he could have any in the future. If this child was a boy, then it would definitely be a boy.”
“.. She had forgotten to ask who had taken her pulse. The doctor who had checked on Ms. Cai’s body was quite capable. There was no mistake in her touch. It should be her. Jiankang City was so famous, and the Xie family valued Xie Xian. They had to invite her.”
“What do you think would happen if it wasn’t for her?”
Sikong Xiao:” Shut up and go to sleep. 1 still have to attend court tomorrow-”
“Right, go to court and ask your son-in-law.”
Sikong Xiao turned around and went to sleep.
Well, it was supposed to be a good thing, but she had turned it into a worry. He had the right to suspect that she was addicted to worrying and would think about it whenever she encountered something. No worries? It didn’t matter. As long as he wanted to find it, he could find it.
Should she change her name to Xie Kechou?
###
The Xiao couple was happy and worried, but when they arrived at the Xie residence, they were both happy.
Xiao Baoxin felt like he didn’t even know how to walk after being praised by everyone. Every move he made was afraid of being hit by lightning, and even when he returned to Rong An Hall, he was helped back by Xie Xian.
Sending Xiao Ning to the Splendid Cloud Pavilion and befriending her, it was as if nothing had happened. Xiao Baoxin felt embarrassed that the limelight had been stolen by her.
” I’m really not that weak. 1 even did a boxing set this morning-”
Unable to bear it any longer, when Xie Xian was about to personally help her bathe and change her clothes, Xiao Baoxin exploded.
“Stop grinning. I’m looking at your little tongue.”
“Then you must have seen a lot of people’s tongues today.””
Xiao Baoxin was silent. Indeed, she had even seen the little tongue of Madam Yuan, who usually did not show her teeth when she smiled. She was almost looking at her stomach. They were so happy that all the maids and old women they met on the way welcomed them with smiles and congratulated them. Even the lanterns they picked when they were sent back were changed to red by Mother Xie.
In addition to Mother Xie’s reward of a month’s silver for the entire family residence, Xie Xian also rewarded each of the Rong An Hall servants with two months ‘silver, and Xiao Baoxin’s four maids each received fifty taels of silver.
Xie Xian didn’t have any silver coins on him, so the reward money he gave out was very generous. The silver coins in Ming Yue’s arms made Ming Yue so envious that her eyes turned red.
He knew that Master Lang was happy, but even if he was happy, he shouldn’t throw money like this. Even if he threw money like this, he should treat everyone equally. What about him?
What about him?
The dowry maids brought over by the madam worked hard to serve the madam, and he also worked hard to serve the master!
Of course, Xie Xian ignored him. His attention was not on him at all. It was all on Xiao Baoxin. He wished he could be Xiao Baoxin’s leg. He was afraid that if she walked too much, her leg would hurt, and he would walk on her behalf.
Unable to dissuade Xie Xian, Xiao Baoxin helplessly allowed Xie Xian to serve him like a corpse. However, he had never served anyone before. He was flustered. He either pulled off a few strands of her hair or splashed water into her eyes when he was splashing water on his body. After he finally got out of the bathtub to put on his clothes, he spent half a day putting them on. When he was supporting her, he did not notice the water on the ground and easily tripped her…
It was better for her to do it herself, but was he trying to knock her down or knock her down?
“Lord Lang, please let me go. Let me do it myself. “Xiao Baoxin had a headache. A master who was used to being served for twenty years wanted to serve others overnight. Wasn’t this making a fuss?
Xie Xian’s face turned green with fear. “Alright then.”
Although he finally compromised, he was almost exhausted. All Xiao Baoxin could do was walk back to his room and lie on the bed to rest.
After a long while, Xie Xian was silent. Then, he slowly got on the bed and moved to sit beside her. He looked at Xiao Baoxin’s lower abdomen as if he was looking at a rare object.
After a long while, he let out a long sigh.
“My child with Ah Xiao…”
Half of him, half of Xiao. What a miraculous existence.
He was still immersed in the joy of marrying Xiao Baoxin, and he was often afraid that he might not be able to accompany her forever. Everything he did was so that even if she lost him one day, she could live a good life. At this moment, a thunderclap suddenly sounded in the clear sky.
They had an heir!
This was really a pleasant surprise. He was both surprised and happy. He simply could not describe the complicated and happy emotions in his heart when he heard this news.
“You also think it’s amazing, right?” Xiao Baoxin seemed to have found a soulmate and sat up from the couch, scaring Xie Xian so much that he almost jumped up and shouted,
“Slow down, little ancestor. Don’t hurt my son.”
Xiao Baoxin was speechless. What was it? Had she leveled up so quickly just after she was pregnant?
She thought that she had found a soulmate, but in the end, it was a thousand miles away?
“It’s okay. I’m fine.” She spat out everything she had eaten, and she felt refreshed. Moreover, the half-basket of green plums that Mother Xie had asked Tang Li to bring back before she left had solved many problems.
“It’s just that 1 feel like I’m floating in the air right now. 1 feel like I’m covered in clouds and mist. It’s not real at all..”
