Chapter 294: Got… What?

Translator: 549690339

Everything was handled by Xiao Baoxin. Xie Xian did not interfere at all. He did not even give any suggestions.

Only when Xiao Baoxin finished his treatment and showed the results to him did he nod in satisfaction. He had put in a lot of effort.

“I’ve always been at ease when Nora does things.”

###

After the fourth month, the provincial governors began to enter the capital one after another. A while ago, Emperor Yuheng had just issued a decree, and all the county heads, including the provincial governors, had changed their term of office to three years. When the term expired, they would have to enter the capital to take up their posts.

Most of the provincial governors had already served their term of office, and Jiankang City was bustling with activity.

Xiao Huang arrived on the evening of the 16th day of the fourth lunar month. Before entering Jiankang, he did not even send a manservant to inform him beforehand. He brought six or seven attendants with him and entered the city in two carriages.

When the Xie family received the news, Xiao Huang’s carriage was already parked outside the main gate.

They had never seen someone so unruly. The Xie residence was instantly overwhelmed with work. It was too late to prepare. Even if he went out directly, he had to dress up first. He couldn’t be too sloppy and appear not grand. However, if he wanted to be grand, he wouldn’t be so unprepared.

Even Mother Xie had scolded her for being ignorant of the ways of the world, so how could she be so bold as to come knocking on her door?

Mother Xie was an elder, so she naturally had no reason to come out to welcome the younger generation. Because of Xiao Huang, Second Master Xie and Third Master Xie led the entire family to welcome the Xiao father and daughter into the residence.

This was the first time Xiao Baoxin had seen Xiao Ning. She was dressed in light Hu clothes, with wide shoulders, thin waist, and long legs. She was about the same height as Xiao Ning, and her appearance was ordinary. She could barely be considered dignified, but her eyes were very bright.

When Mother Xie saw Xiao Ning, her heart skipped a beat. She finally understood why Xiao Huang didn’t send the portrait over. It was probably not because he didn’t know the ways of the world, but because his daughter’s appearance wasn’t her strong point.

Even the marriage with Xin An King was hard to say.

Even though Emperor Yu Heng’s heart had not been known to the public, Mother Xie knew about it. If Xie Xian had not revealed his intentions, she would have already arranged for a marriage candidate.

Prince Xin An was a famous handsome man, and was the best among the princes. He was not inferior even when standing beside Xie Xian.

Just based on looks, they were not compatible.

However, these were all in Mother Xie’s heart and she didn’t reveal any of it. She immediately gave the jade bracelet she had prepared as a greeting gift.

After all, she was the niece of her maternal family and was closer to her even after a generation.

With Mother Xie taking the lead, the few wives below also gave their greeting gifts, including Xiao Baoxin. The wives of the other families also came out to meet the guests and each gave the gifts they had prepared earlier.

Xiao Ning was also prepared. She brought the specialty of Shu Embroidery and Shu Brocade.

Shu Embroidery and Shu Brocade were usually sent to the palace as tributes, but today, Xiao Ning had generously presented them as gifts. They immediately attracted the attention of the young ladies. Even the usually reserved Wang Shier Niang couldn’t help but touch them.

Xiao Huang was in the living room of the cubicle. At this time, he exchanged a simple greeting with Second Master Xie, Third Master Xie, and Xie Xian before going to the inner room to pay his respects to Mother Xie.

Mother Xie led the juniors to greet Xiao Huang, and it took them an hour to get busy.

Seeing that the sky was about to turn dark, Mother Xie instructed Madam Wang to open the big kitchen so that the whole family could eat together. The men went to the front of the hall, while Mother Xie led a group of women inside.

Xiao Ning was being looked at by everyone. Even if the elders didn’t get involved, there were six or seven mouths that took turns to ask her questions.

She was rather magnanimous and unfazed in the face of change. It was as if she would not change her expression if Mount Tai collapsed in front of her. To put it simply, she was a little stoic. She had the same face for everything. A faint smile was already her more vivid expression. Most of the time, she had a static face and did not have many expressions.

He was indifferent to everyone and treated everyone equally.

Xie Wan was eating green plums at the side. She bit down on them and almost made her teeth ache.

However, when he looked at Xiao Baoxin beside him, he was eating with gusto. After eating one, he took another bite. Watching her eat, Xie Wan’s mouth was sour. Did she like this so much?

“You eat.” Xiao Baoxin handed it to Xiao Ning in a friendly manner. His hand went over, but his eyes followed suit. He was reluctant to part with her. He had not eaten enough.

Xiao Ning thanked him expressionlessly and took a bite. It took her a lot of effort to not spit it out. Finally, a crack appeared on her face.

“You are so naughty, why did you tease Ning?”Mother Xie couldn’t help but laugh.

Xiao Baoxin complained,”! really learned how to eat this, so I invited Sister Ning to eat. I didn’t mean to tease her at all.””Even if she wanted to tease her, she had to look at the person she was teasing. This cousin Xiao Ning was obviously not a soft girl. If she didn’t understand, she would be hated. She wasn’t that unreliable.

“Sister-in-law, don’t you feel jealous?”Xie Wan couldn’t help but say,” 1 think my wife ate it with relish, but I’m gluttonous. 1 think this green plum plum isn’t ripe yet. It’s so sour.””

Mother Xie’s eyes lit up as she looked at Madam Yuan. As expected, Madam Yuan’s eyes were brighter than hers. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other, but neither of them said anything. This was not a happy occasion. If they were happy wrongly, it would make Xiao Baoxin feel awkward.

“I’m sorry, you…Drink some water?” Xiao Baoxin did not notice the surging waves in the eyes of his mother-in-law and grandmother, and was focused on comforting the guests who had come from afar.

Xiao Ning took the water from the maid and drank it silently. It was obvious that she was really sour.

Not long after, the maids filed in and placed the dishes on the table. Mother Xie had specially instructed the small kitchen to make Xiao Baoxin’s favorite Hu cake. Although it was the big kitchen that served the dishes, the Hu cake was still served.

Who knew that Xiao Baoxin would feel a little nauseous after taking a bite. If he couldn’t eat it anymore, he would feel nauseous when he put it aside and smelled it.

Lady Yuan’s eyes were so bright that they almost lit up. The corners of her mouth curled up even more. She glanced at Mother Xie and found that she had the same expression. The two of them looked at each other and understood each other. They quickly asked the maid to remove the Hu biscuits.

Madam Wang looked left and right without saying anything.

On the other hand, Lady Cai had been getting more stable recently and had come out more often. She was pregnant herself and was sensitive to this matter. When she saw Xiao Baoxin’s behavior, she smiled and said,”Bao Xin, you have it, right?”

It was like a clap of thunder.

The blast missed. Xiao Baoxin didn’t understand what it meant at all.’T have it… What?”

Mrs. Yuan was a little unhappy. This was something that had never happened before. What was the point of calling it out in public?

Today was welcoming guests, and the main character wasn’t them, Baoxin. Wouldn’t stealing the limelight be causing trouble for others? He didn’t know if Cai shi did it on purpose.

Even Xiao Ning’s gaze was focused on Xiao Baoxin’s stomach.

Xiao Baoxin’s face turned red. I might have just eaten too much… My stomach hasn’t been feeling well for the past few days…”

“That’s it, that’s it.” Madam Cai was certain.” Call the doctor over and check her pulse.”

“What doctor? Who’s sick? She couldn’t just endure it and call the doctor over if she felt uncomfortable.”

There was only a screen in the middle of the two halls. Xie Xian heard it clearly and hurriedly called Qing Feng over to ask. In fact, he knew very well that it was Xiao Baoxin. However, his heart ached for his wife, so he couldn’t be so blatant..
