Chapter 136: Marriage

Translator: 549690339

Xiao Baoxin looked down at the maid from above. She was about sixteen or seventeen years old, fair and clean, and had a delicate appearance.

Her expression betrayed her. There was no panic on her face, only shock.

Why was he shocked?

The water didn’t splash on her as expected. Did it affect their next step?

This maid walked with a fierce aura, leaving a footprint with each step. Her lower body was so stable that she did not sprain her ankle without looking. She walked up to her and grabbed her upper body, holding a tray full of tea and wanting to splash it on her. Her goal was too clear.

“Are you alright?” Xiao Baoxin put the tray aside and helped the maid up with a smile.

As expected, the maid was complaining crazily in her heart.

‘Is she human? Did that kick send me flying?’

[How can he be so handsome?!]

‘.. What should he tell Princess Angie?’

‘Forget it. There are so many pairs of eyes watching anyway. It shouldn’t be my fault, right? To cause trouble on the Eldest Princess ‘birthday for no reason, to have nothing better to do, it’s making things difficult for us. At worst, he could just return the silver. The reputation of a bad person was originally a disgrace.’

” I’m afraid that not only would it damage my virtue, but I might even lose my life if I’m not careful. I won’t be able to take a flying kick in a minute.’

“No, no, no, it’s fine. This servant was careless. Thank you for your help,

Wifey.”The maid went down the donkey, and the servant picked up the tray and left.

Xiao Baoxin sat down resentfully. Alright, if she met someone who knew how to make things right, she wouldn’t make things difficult for her.

“Eldest Lady, you have such handsome skills!” Xie Wan did not know what was going on, but she was attracted by her figure and her eyes lit up.

It was only at this moment that the people around them came back to life. They all came back to their senses and talked about what happened just now. It was undeniable that Xiao Baoxin’s kick was really dazzling enough, immediately triggering a large-scale discussion.

Of course, there were also discordant voices.

“That’s why I said that the little girl learned martial arts. Her martial arts are good, but it has developed her arrogant and domineering character.”

“.. Fortunately, he didn’t kick the tea on us this time. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be enough to embarrass us.”

“A little lady should be gentle and dignified, demure and elegant. Look at her, she doesn’t look like a lady from a famous family at all. It’s not bad for her to look like the eldest lady of your residence. Her appearance is ordinary, but she’s so much gentler…That little girl…”

“..”Your Eldest Lady looks average, but your entire family looks average.

Xiao Baoxin was completely unaware that his actions had almost caused the two madams to fight.

Everyone was watching the show. Only Madam Xie’s heart was in her throat. The madams sat in the front few rows, and the little lady sat in the back row. It was also to prevent the little lady from being restrained by the madams.

When Madam Xie heard the maid’s scream, she turned around and happened to see her daughter’s beautiful skills…

Yes, she didn’t burn herself.

Well, he didn’t burn anyone.

It was considered good.

However, the buzzing sound in his ears did not stop. His voice was not loud, but it was between being able to hear and unable to hear clearly. He did not even seem to have the confidence to go forward.

“Your daughter is so handsome.”

Mrs. Yuan, who was sitting beside Mrs. Xie, said with a smile. Her cold appearance made her look reserved and distant even when she smiled.

According to the order, Madam Yuan should be sitting in the first row, but she took the initiative to squeeze out Madam Xiao and sit next to Madam Xie. Madam Xie was already surprised enough, but what was even more rare was that this person actually took the initiative to talk.

It wasn’t that Madam Xie hadn’t dealt with Chen Jun’s Xie family before. This Madam Yuan had always had a protective barrier around her. She was noble and reserved, and had a somewhat arrogant attitude.

How could she say it? She had rushed to the Xie residence but had not received such a warm reception from this Madam Yuan. Madam Xie felt a little terrified and had an ominous feeling.

“It’s been a long time since I last saw you.”

“Yes, I think so too.” Madam Xie agreed. She felt that there was nothing wrong with talking about her daughter like this, so she told the truth. However, he still praised her son as usual.

” But no one can compare to Xuan Hui. A 20-year-old casual rider’s constant attendant. Other than the emperor, no other young master can do it. She had a good personality and was talented. She was simply the child that every mother dreamed of having.”

Madam Xie added silently in her heart.

If you don’t have anything to do, you’ll be a thief if you’re not a woman.

Madam Xie raised her guard.

“Your daughter is already of age, right?”Madam Yuan smiled, and a few fine lines appeared at the corners of her eyes. “Are you married?”

This was already the prelude to a marriage proposal.

Madam Xie never dreamed that Madam Yuan would ask for her hand in marriage. After all, generations of aristocratic families were extremely revered. They disdained to marry into the lesser families. There was even a customary rule in the previous dynasty that scholars and commoners did not marry. What was important was that one’s family was of equal status. If one was not of the same level, one could not get married.

This was an equally important rule as not marrying anyone with the same surname or during funerals. One could imagine how strict the hierarchy was at that time.

Times had changed, and the aristocratic families of today could no longer be mentioned in the same breath as before, but they still held their heads high and disdained to associate with the commoners.

To be able to wait for a top-notch aristocratic family to inquire, this was undoubtedly a historic moment. Madam Xie was a little stunned.

She suddenly felt conflicted.

Actually, she didn’t want her daughter to marry Xie Xian. Although Xie Xian’s status was there, the family head of a top-notch family, she couldn’t be at ease with that body. He was too weak.

However, her daughter had clearly taken a fancy to Xie Xian. She was afraid that this time, Madam Yuan had taken the initiative to propose marriage and was rejected by her. If her daughter was determined to marry Xie Xian, she would be setting up an artificial obstacle for her daughter.

In the past, she had always wanted to turn her daughter back on the right path and learn from the noble daughter’s character, gentle, kind, respectful, thrifty, and giving in. Only these few things made her understand that her daughter had a fiery personality, a stubborn and smelly temper, and she would never stop until she reached her goal.

She just didn’t know if Xie Xian’s matter was also one-track minded to the end.

Madam Xie was in a dilemma, but she did not show it on her face. This scene had almost exhausted her acting skills of more than 20 years.

“We haven’t gotten married yet. To be honest with Furen, the Yuan Family’s Young Master’s matter caused a storm in the city a while ago. I haven’t had the time to tell my family’s adults, so I’m not in a hurry to see him.”

Madam Yuan nodded slightly. Was this a yes or no?

If it were anyone else, Madam Yuan might have thought that the other party was tactfully rejecting her, but Madam Xie…Although they had never interacted with each other, they had heard a lot about Madam Xie’s family. Minister Qi’s wife, Madam Xie, was the Di daughter of the Xie family’s side branch. She was very close to their family and had heard many things from Madam Xie.

Including Xiao Baoxin’s marriage, it was actually decided by the two heads of the Xiao family and the Yuan family. Madam Xie was just a puppet, and she could not make the decision in the Xiao family..
