“Sister, why did I hear that you were fighting with the aristocratic families? He even entered the yamen?”
Xiao Miaorong was shocked by Xiao Jing ‘ai’s sudden enthusiasm. She didn’t know how to respond, so she turned to Xiao Baoxin. This dignified and serious little face was only lively when discussing such gossip.
“Did the Yuan family make things difficult for you?”
“Did Auntie scold you?”
“I heard that the emperor praised you for being a tiger father, but a dog daughter.”
Although Xiao Miaorong and Xiao Jing ‘ai weren’t very close in the past, this was admittedly due to the subtle relationship between stepmother and stepsister, but they were both very close to Xiao Baoxin.
Xiao Miaorong was passionate about painting and loved all beautiful things. Among them, Xiao Baoxin was the most beautiful. Her beauty was not fake. Whenever Xiao Miaorong was depressed, as long as she looked at Xiao Baoxin for a day or half a day, she would definitely get better.
Xiao Baoxin was proud of his beauty and was never humble. If you come and see, I’ll let you see.
This was their relationship. It was superficial, but it was also very soul-piercing.
“That’s right. On the day I fell ill, I heard that the Yuan family came to apologize.”Without waiting for Xiao Baoxin’s reply, Xiao Jing ‘ai continued with a smile,””Sister is lucky to have met such a reasonable family like the Yuan family. She knows that sister and Xiao Lang have a deep relationship. If it was another family, who knew what would happen.”
Something was wrong. The Yuan family was the one who bowed down. She couldn’t understand it no matter how hard she thought.
However, there was no conflict with the previous life. Later, the Yuan family withdrew because Xiao Baoxin was known to be unfaithful.
In his previous life, this battle wasn’t so well-known that even the Emperor was alarmed. Presumably, it was because of the blessing of the saying ‘a tiger father, like a dog daughter’, that the Yuan family didn’t immediately break off the engagement?
With the emperor’s protection, listening to her words, she did not fall in love at first sight with Yang Shao. Did it mean that Yang Shao and Xiao Baoxin’s marriage was so muddle-headed that she ruined it?
Xiao Miaorong’s eyes widened when she heard that.” Really, Sis?”
“That’s good. My grandmother heard the rumors and was worried about your marriage.”
“Who asked me to have a good father?” Xiao Baoxin laughed.
She was mocking herself, but Xiao Jing ‘ai could hear the naked boasting in her ears.
As she endured her jealousy, she ingratiated herself.”That’s right, uncle has made outstanding military achievements and fought for the country on the battlefield. He is an important minister of the emperor.”
The sisters began to chat. Xiao Miaorong was not good with words, and Xiao Baoxin was not in high spirits. Only Xiao Jing ‘ai was able to make use of her to liven up the atmosphere and start a conversation.
After chatting for a while, Xiao Miaorong stood up and said goodbye. Such a passionate Xiao Jing ‘ai gave her goosebumps all over. She only told Xiao Jing’ ai to recuperate and she did not want to disturb him.
Seeing this, Xiao Baoxin also stood up.
“Sister…” Xiao Jing ‘ai didn’t want to let Xiao Baoxin go just like that. She was just talking about Yang Shao when Xiao Miaorong interrupted her. She was inexplicably accused of having an unclear relationship with Yang Shao. She couldn’t just swallow this silently.
Xiao Miaorong saw that Xiao Jing ‘ai obviously wanted to talk to Xiao Baoxin behind her back and was about to walk out when Xiao Baoxin grabbed her arm.
“I know what you want to say. Isn’t it the Central General Army of King Jiang Xia?”
Xiao Baoxin frowned slightly.” I’m just being kind. You’re a young lady and you have a marriage on your hands. Don’t keep asking people about it. It’s not good for others to know.”
Xiao Jing ‘ai felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She was sure that Xiao Baoxin had indeed said those words!
But now, she was twisting black and white. What was going on?!
Why did all the dirty water fall on her?
“Sister, you can’t say such things. You clearly said that Yang Shao mentioned me, so I asked.”
Xiao Baoxin looked at her coldly with his beautiful eyes for a long time, which made her hair stand on end. She only felt a small gust of cold wind roll up her neck from the back of her back.
“In short, don’t ask anyone about that person in the future. It won’t do you any good.”
After saying that, he didn’t give Xiao Jing ‘ai any chance to explain. He pulled Xiao Miaorong’s little hand and left, leaving Xiao Jing’ ai so angry that his nose was almost crooked.
What was going on?
This was definitely not the arrogant and domineering Xiao Baoxin in her memories who had always treated her like the same!
Her rebirth had indeed changed some things, but no matter what, it was impossible to change a person’s way of doing things in such a short period of time!
Then, there was only one possibility…
Xiao Jing ‘ai felt as if she had fallen into a cold lake, and a chill ran down her spine.
That was, Xiao Baoxin had also been reborn. Only this reason could explain why Xiao Baoxin’s attitude towards her had changed so drastically, and why he had dug a hole and set a trap to pour dirty water on her.

“Second Sister is acting weird.”
After leaving Xiao Jing ‘ai’s courtyard, Xiao Miaorong whispered,””Usually, when you see me, you are more distant than others. You always put on a posture. Today, you are acting so strangely. I don’t know what triggered you.”
Xiao Baoxin could not help but laugh. Xiao Ai had always thought that he was smart, and after his rebirth, he was full of schemes and plots, but he always liked to treat others as fools. In fact, there were a few idiots in this world. It was just that others didn’t like to care about it or didn’t care about it.
The reason why he was so intimate with Xiao Miaorong after his rebirth was because Xiao Jing ‘ai could make use of him.
“Maybe it’s because they suddenly realized that we’re all grown up. When we get married in the future, we can take care of each other.”Xiao Baoxin stopped there.
Oh.”
Xiao Miaorong accidentally lost her sight and walked forward while rubbing her eyes.”That’s quite sudden. It’s obvious.”After a pause, she continued,
“What did sister say about the Central Army? My mother is discussing marriage for me. Don’t let any scandals spread.”
Puff!
Xiao Baoxin almost choked on his own saliva. Her Third Lady was so honest and cute.
“Then let Aunt keep an eye on her. Don’t let her have a chance to spread scandals.”
Xiao Jing ‘ai was vicious. Not only did he want to steal her marriage for two lifetimes, but he had already thought of how to deal with her after he became the mother of a country.
She did not have the magnanimity to forgive someone who had the intention to hurt her, nor did she have to be stripped and offered to a sadist!
If you want to harm someone, you have to see if you have that brain!
“This is a way to get it done once and for all.”Xiao Miaorong clapped her hands in joy and rushed straight to the main courtyard of the Second household.
It was noon and the sun was high in the sky.
Xiao Baoxin stood under the peach tree. He had the face of a peach blossom, but he was more delicate than a flower.
Cai Wei:” Wifey, the sunlight is too poisonous. Don’t sunburn Wifey.””
“Cai Wei, are you on good terms with Ma Nao?” Xiao Baoxin asked. Coming out of Xiao Jing ‘ai’s courtyard, she saw Cai Wei and Ma Nao chatting and laughing softly. They were clearly very familiar with each other.
“Not bad, this servant rarely does not befriend.”These words were said in a high-end manner.”What instructions does Wifey have?”
“No matter if it’s Agate or any other, take out twenty taels of silver from your
account and spread it out. You must report Second Lady’s every move to me..”
