Xiao Baoxin’s move could be heard even if a pin dropped. Xiao Miaorong opened her mouth wide and couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement. She then looked at Xiao Baoxin, her eyes filled with admiration.
“Who arc you trying to scare?” Fan Fourth Lady’s face was flushed red, and her heart almost jumped out of her chest.!
The two sisters of the Xie family’s second branch retreated one after another.
What was going on?
In the past, it was inevitable for little girls to have friction. It was always a battle of words. Winning and losing were all in the midst of laughter. This was ability! Where did this Xiao Baoxin come from? She had never taken the ordinary path. Being born a martial artist was never glorious. The things that the common people did could only be achieved through military achievements. However, she did not feel ashamed but felt proud instead. She relied on her strength to show off in front of a group of women. Could she have any face?!
“A gentleman uses his mouth, a villain uses his hand!” Xie Shan flew into a rage out of humiliation. She was angered by the two sisters hiding behind her. This was what sisters were like. They were afraid that Xiao Baoxin would hit them, so they hid behind her and let her go up to hide from that punch?
“Xiao Baoxin, can you still improve? He only knows how to use violence to solve problems.”
Xie Wan said,”Yes, a gentleman uses his mouth, and a villain uses his hands. So you rely on your mouths to gossip behind others ‘backs and insinuate and scold others in front of others.””
“You’re only allowed to pay attention to others, but others are not allowed to retaliate, right?” In comparison, aren’t you self-proclaimed aristocrats…”
“Seventh Madame, how can you side with outsiders and speak on Xiao Baoxin’s side?!”Xie Chan criticized. She and Xie Juan pulled Xie Shan to the side in tacit understanding.
“Let’s go. We won’t talk to them!”
Seeing Xie Shan leave, Fan Si Niangzi did not continue to fight. She took her sisters and changed places. For a moment, the pond was in chaos, and the blooming lotus flowers were no longer seen.
Xie Wan slowly walked over and bowed slightly to Xiao Baoxin.
“Thank you for speaking out.”
“Don’t say that. Which family doesn’t have a few troublesome sisters?”Xiao Baoxin laughed indifferently. Upon closer inspection, Xie Qiniangzi looked even more like Xie Xian. Her eyes and nose were exactly the same. One look and one could tell that they were biological siblings.
Xiao Jing ‘ai was speechless. Why did he feel like he was being shot while lying down?
Xie Wan raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled. Everything was said without a word.
“I haven’t been in contact with the ladies for a long time in filial piety, but after the new year, it seems like everything has changed.”
Xiao Baoxin sighed. Times had changed. If Shi Zhong Xie was still around, perhaps Xie Wan would still see the harmonious scene in the past and the deep relationship between sisters.
“When you grow up, you will have more thoughts. If you think too much, you will also be too complicated.”
Xie Wan thought for a moment and clapped her hands.”
Xiao Jingxin was tired. Why did she always feel like she was the one being talked about?
Why did these two little girls insinuate so much? Why did it sound so ear-piercing, as if they were talking about a two-man show?
In his previous life, the Xie family had relied on Xie Xian for a period of time. Yang Shao had unknowingly gotten involved with this person. He was fighting outside, and there were many rumors in the court. Xie Xian had to deal with a few crises.
However, this person died early. The new emperor found an excuse to imprison Emperor Yu Heng and he died in prison.
Yang Shao had always boasted that Xie Xian was his confidant and had killed his way back to Jiankang City. After he had become a powerful figure in the Imperial Court, he had always taken care of the Xie Clan.
She remembered that Xie Wan had married a young general from a poor family. At that time, it had caused an uproar in Jiankang City.
Xie Xian had always been at odds with the aristocratic families, but no one had expected that he would actually make the decision to marry his sister into a Shu family and not choose to marry into an aristocratic family. At that time, it was simply inconceivable. Aristocratic families were particular about marriage.
Although this strict concept of family status was crumbling year by year, the Xie family was still a top-notch aristocratic family. His marriage with a lesser family broke the inherent concept of matching families. In the years that followed, the imperial power suppressed them again and again. The aristocratic families put down their noble airs one after another, and many chose to marry with lesser families.
Xie Wan’s life was smooth, but Xie Xian was dead, but he arranged for her to be well. Before Emperor Yuheng died, he arranged for the young general to be the governor of a county. Yang Shao attacked Jiankang, and this person helped him with all his strength. Later, Yang Shao ascended the throne and granted him the title of General of Chariots and Cavalry. Xie Wan’s wife was also granted the title of Second Grade Lady by virtue of her husband’s noble honor.
He was also someone worth befriending.
Usually, the noble daughters of the great clans had their own circles and never interacted with the common people. Xiao Jing ‘ai’s friends were mostly from poor families. They were in high positions but their family background was not prominent. Her good friends had never been invited to the Xie family, so she was alone.
It was rare for Xie Wan to personally greet her, so she changed her plan of being alone and followed Xiao Baoxin around.

“What an uneducated girl.” The Ning County Lord watched the entire scene from afar. Other than feeling regretful that the matter didn’t blow up, he also felt that the Xie sisters couldn’t fight at all. The other party’s punch had not even hit the wine cup, but they were already scared out of their wits.
“She actually dares to be so impudent in someone else’s residence. I wonder what the Yuan family sees in her?”
“That’s right, what a pity for Eighth Young Master Yuan.”
“You’re right, Young Master Yuan Ba is so talented, but his family actually arranged such a vulgar and wretched girl for him. She had clearly climbed up the social ladder, yet she still bullied his little sister. It was really unreasonable. She was too rude, like a shrew!”
“We have to teach her a lesson and tell her not to be so arrogant. Otherwise, she will think that we are easy to bully.”Seeing Xie Shan and the others walking towards the pavilion, Shi Ning County Magistrate waved at Xie Chan.
She couldn’t stand Xie Shan’s bossy attitude, so she turned a blind eye to it.
“.. Is there anything in your residence that can cause diarrhea? Find it and use it.”
Xie Chan was stunned for a moment. She followed the gaze of the Shi Ning County Head and saw Xiao Baoxin and the others leaving the pond. Her eyes lit up.
“There is croton powder. I heard the nanny in the room say that her stomach was not feeling well, so I took the little maid to buy it outside the manor these two days.”
The two groups of girls almost instantly reached an agreement to teach Xiao Baoxin a lesson.
The best thing was to make her make a fool of herself and teach her a profound lesson. In the future, she would control her mouth and not dare to leave the residence for a year and a half.
“But there are too many maids in the manor. I don’t recognize any of those who pass the dishes. I can’t order them around at all.”Xie Chan did not hide her position in the residence. The Second household was not favored in the first place. In Old Lady Xie’s eyes, there was only the eldest son and grandson of the First household. Even the Di sons of the Third household had to stand aside.
The person who could host Old Xie Furen’s birthday banquet was naturally the eldest wife, Xie Xian. The manpower was also arranged by him. Not to mention the little Di daughter of the second wife, even if her own father came, he might not be able to order her around. Moreover, this was a trick to secretly harm people. She also had no face to make a scene and let the whole family know..
