Chapter 381: Leave Me Some Face

Translator: 549690339

After leaving the Chu Manor, Xiao Miaorong and Xiao Baoxin parted ways. Before they left, Xiao Miaorong whispered,

“I went to see my sister-in-law yesterday. She’s so thin that she doesn’t look like a human anymore. She said that she was frightened on the road and now had nightmares every night. She couldn’t eat well, sleep well, and catch a cold.” The two of them did not have a chance to talk for a while, so they only took the opportunity to talk as they walked.

When Xiao Miaorong thought of Madam Cai, she felt quite pitiful. Madam Cai was still alright. She had finally returned alive. She would recuperate in the future. However, after hearing what she had seen and heard on the road, Xiao Miaorong realized that the area outside Jiankang City was in chaos.

Usually, they only stayed in the back residence and were in Jiankang. Even if they listened to their fathers and brothers talk every day, they only had a vague outline and knew that the situation was tense. However, he never expected that burning, killing, and looting had become a common occurrence in a place not far away.

“I also brought some supplements back a few days ago, but I didn’t see him.”Xiao Baoxin sighed.

“You’re not alone now, so you have to be careful. Sister-in-law also talked about you, but unfortunately, I didn’t see you. I was afraid that I would get sick.”Although she said that, she was thinking about how troublesome it was to be pregnant.

He couldn’t eat or sleep well, and he even became fat.

She didn’t understand why she could grow so fat while avoiding certain foods. Xiao Baoxin had always been a celestial figure in Xiao Miaorong’s eyes. Now that he had a big belly and his chin was protruding, he was no longer as beautiful as before.

Xiao Baoxin:

Please don’t touch me!

Before the wedding, Xiao Miaorong started to have absurd ideas.

In the past, Cai Shi had been frightened by her pregnancy and insisted on bringing a few dowries over. She really wanted them to accompany the bride and let them be Xi Sanlang’s concubines and take care of the children.

At least Xiao Baoxin stopped him, but he didn’t expect that this fellow wouldn’t give up and would revert to his old ways.

However, it wasn’t good to say anything now. He had to pick a time to tell Xiao Miaorong some things. If she did this, it would be difficult for the relationship between the young couple.

It was a good thing to be magnanimous, but this kind of thing was too merciful.

Thinking about it, if Xie Xian had such thoughts, she would have crushed the bones in her palm. She did not have such a broad mind.

“Alright, you go back first. I’ll go to your residence to play in a few days “Xiao Baoxin walked down the steps. Just as he was about to grab Youmei’s hand and get into the car, he was held by Xie Wan beside him.

Youmei was speechless.

What kind of hobby did the Xie siblings have? Did they all like to snatch the work of their servants so much?

Xiao Miaorong had the intention to let Xiao Baoxin rest well at home and not walk around randomly in case he bumped into something. Before she could finish her sentence, Xie Wan’s action interrupted her.

She had hands too, so why didn’t she have such good eyesight? Xiao Miaorong reflected on herself. She had been thinking about taking concubines for her future husband.

He had originally thought of accepting all four of them as dowry, but now that he thought about it, he could accept one…Was this considered an improvement?

“I’ll go with sister-in-law another day.”

After Xie Wan helped Xiao Baoxin into the car, she did not follow him. Instead, she turned around and smiled as she spoke to Xiao Miaorong. “Third Lady promised to draw my portrait before, but it was like throwing a stone into water. I only heard a sound, and I haven’t accepted it yet.”

“I drew it,” Xiao Miaorong said seriously.”

She wouldn’t take the blame. It would make it seem like the Xiao family had no integrity.

” But I saw Seventh Madame again halfway through the painting. Your eyebrows and eyes have grown a little longer, and your figure has also grown slender.”

“Really?” Xie Wan’s eyes lit up. She was too short and still wanted to grow taller.

“It looks like your waist has become thinner, but when we were walking just now, I held your waist and it was still the same as before. From this, it can be seen that your chest has also become bigger. Outsiders don’t know what it is, but it s as if your waist has become thinner again.”

Xie Wan’s face turned red. She knew about this change in size.

The Third Aunt of the Xiao family was usually straightforward and straightforward, but when it came to paintings, she became one-track minded and said everything without caring about anything.

“You painting maniac!” Xiao Baoxin lifted the curtain and glared at Xiao Miaorong.” You’re also an unmarried young lady. What are you saying in front of so many servants?” Go back to the residence quickly. Leave me some face.” Xiao Miaorong shrugged.

Before he left, he moved closer to Xie Wan.” I drew the one before too After you grew up, I drew another one. I’ll send it to you personally another day. You can take a look and compare it.””

Xie Wan,”I thank you…”

“Third Lady is very thoughtful.” She smiled.” I’m going to thank you.””

“Alright.” Xiao Miaorong didn’t stand on ceremony and turned around to return to her car.

Xie Wan’s face was still red after she got into the car, making Xiao Baoxin not know whether to laugh or cry.

“Third Lady’s temper, please bear with it.”

Xie Wan smiled like a little mouse who had stolen half a catty of sesame oil.

She felt that it was the Xiao family’s style or something. Xiao Baoxin and Xiao

Miaorong were different in their straightforward ways, but their temperaments were both good.

Well, Xiao Jing ‘ai wasn’t counted. She was an anomaly.

“I think Third Aunt is quite good.” Xie Wan smiled and leaned against the back cushion of the car. She let out a long sigh of relief.”She and Sixth Mother should be able to get along in the future. Both of them have a straightforward personality. It was just that… Fifteen Niang’s days would not be easy.”

“What did Sixth Aunt say to you?” Xiao Baoxin asked. On the surface she couldn’t tell.

Xie Wan shook her head and sighed. “That blockhead, how could she be so meticulous?”

“I heard it from Mother. In the past, I thought that although Fifteenth Mother was a widow, she had done her best for the Chu family and should have been treated well, not to mention that she was from the Wang family. Who knew that ever since Madam Wang’s son died, the Wang family fell, and she fell ill twice in a row, her personality became even more strange. She enjoyed torturing her daughter-in-law, and several daughters-in-law were called over to show her filial piety at night.”

“It’s said that her eldest daughter-in-law was scalded by fiery oil when she was waiting for the Marquis.”

“She did it on purpose?” Xiao Baoxin’s eyes widened. This was a little perverted right?

If it were her, she would have directly held a candle to the old lady’s face!

No!

She clenched her teeth tightly. She could not say this out loud.

After all, she was still the daughter-in-law. If she said it out loud, it would seem like she was talking to someone else. It would not sound good.

“I don’t know.” Xie Wan shook her head.” In any case, her family came to find her and parted on bad terms.”

The Chu family kept this matter a secret. Although the Liu family was angry they still had to continue living. They did not make a big fuss and let the Chu family know that their family would not let their daughter be bullied and not dare to say anything.

Mrs. Yuan had heard from Chu Lingzi’s mother that she had no other social events to attend to. She only knew about these private matters because she was closer to her sister.

“I have the intention to let mother bring Aunt Fifteen over to our house to stay for a while, to let Madam Wang know that Aunt Fifteen isn’t alone. Even if her aunt doesn’t dote on her, she still has our Xie family.”

“However, Mother said that Aunt Fifteen has just moved into the Chu family’s house, so we’ll bring her over immediately. The Chu family doesn’t look good SO they might not let her go. It wouldn’t be too late to wait for another six months or seven months..”
