Chapter 128: Chapter 128-Besieged on All Sides

When Xiao Baoxin returned to the temple, the three madams had already finished using the temple and were discussing the abbot of Waguan Temple, Huineng.

“Speaking of Huineng, it’s not as good as Monk Huixian’s scripture. Unfortunately, he has just returned from his travels, so he will have to wait for another ten days or half a month to give a lecture. At that time, I would like to come over and listen.”

Lady Liu seemed to be a devout believer. Instead of talking about her children’s marriage, she pulled people over to listen to her scriptures.

“That’s naturally good. It’s just that my lord might come back by then. 1 don’t know if they will all gather together. We’ll meet again when we get closer.”

As the Yang family had arrived late in the north, they were not valued in Daliang. Hence, they had abandoned literature and turned to martial arts. Now, they had three generals, which could be considered a small achievement. It wasn’t that they hadn’t been in contact with this Lady Liu before, but they had only known each other by nodding their heads. They didn’t expect that they would find such a good match after chatting with her today. They were all worried about their children’s marriage, believed in Buddhism, and were willing to listen to Huixian’s lecture.

If it was anyone else, Madam Xie might have thought that she was perfunctory when she said that they would meet again when the time was near, but Madam Liu believed it and happily agreed.

Seeing Xiao Baoxin come in, Madam Xie raised her head and glanced at him. The moment the mother and daughter exchanged glances, they knew that there was a solution to the matter. Madam Xie’s heart relaxed. She was afraid that Xiao Jing would make a big fuss and make a big fuss. When that time came, the Xiao residence would be lively again.

Madam Xiao felt guilty and was very attentive to Madam Liu, afraid that others would see through her.

As a result, Madam Liu was quite satisfied with Madam Xiao’s in-laws. If it wasn’t for her face, she would have wanted to settle the marriage on the spot. His San Lang was young and heroic. The Xiao family’s Second Lady had such a mother and aunt. Even the Xiao Baoxin who served her was not as arrogant and domineering as the rumors said. She was very considerate and took care of others. Growing up in such a family atmosphere, Second Lady Xiao could not be wrong.

The little bit of unhappiness that she had earlier about Xiao Jing ‘ai not arriving had long disappeared. Perhaps the little lady had eaten something bad because of her carelessness.

The three madams were chatting happily. When the two madams of the Xiao family were sending Madam Liu out, they happened to meet the little general Yang, who was wearing sapphire blue satin, walking into the temple.

With thick eyebrows and big eyes, he was extraordinary and heroic. Madam Xiao could not help but shake her head in pity. Xiao Jing loved heaven and earth. She did not know what kind of youth she had lost. To be with her was really…What a pity.

“Come, come, quickly greet Madam Xie and Madam Xiao. This is my family’s San Lang, nicknamed Xing Zong. He loves to use knives and spears all day long. Don’t look down on his young age, he went to the battlefield with his father when he was only ten years old and killed countless enemies.”

“Mother.” Yang Xingzong shook his head helplessly. How could someone else praise him like his own mother?

“That’s right. He’s only sixteen and he’s already a general. I rely on my ability, but it’s different from those young masters from aristocratic families who are destined to be officials.”Madam Xie sincerely liked Yang Xingzong and secretly smacked her lips. This Madam Liu had no taste. Why didn’t she choose Xiao Baoxin? She had made the decision in minutes, and it was Xiao Jing ‘ai’s turn to complain. She was more than enough to match her!

Unfortunately, regardless of whether Xiao Jing ‘ai’s marriage was successful or not, it was not fated with Yang Xiaolang. It was a pity.

“Yes, I just don’t have a son. If 1 had a son, I would want someone like Xingzong.”

When a few middle-aged women came together, their compliments made people blush and their hearts race.

On the way back to the residence, Lady Liu sighed regretfully.””It’s a pity that I didn’t see Second Lady Xiao today. I heard that she’s gentle and demure, beautiful and dignified. She’s not as beautiful as Eldest Lady Xiao, but she’s not as flamboyant as Eldest Lady Xiao either.”

“The Xiao family has outstanding military achievements. It’s rare that they don’t have a condescending and arrogant attitude. 1 think this marriage should be about the same.”

Yang Xingzong, however, had the appearance of the Xiao family’s two beauties in his mind. He recalled the words he had heard in the forest. It was right not to judge a book by its cover.

“I’ll leave it to you, mother.” The sisters-in-law that mother chose for Eldest Brother and Second Brother are all very good.”

Lady Liu nodded and smiled in satisfaction.

After finally sending Madam Liu off, Madam Xie and the others did not stay any longer in the Waguan Temple. They directly got into the car and returned to the Xiao manor.

On the way back, Xiao Baoxin had already finished explaining Xiao Jing ‘ai’s request for an arranged marriage to Emperor Yuheng. Madam Xiao was so angry that her eyes were red. When she returned to the manor, she saw Xiao Jing’ ai, who was dressed as a maid, and she slapped her face.

Madam Xie waved her hand, and the maids and old women in the room filed out.

“Xiao Jing ‘ai, how come I never knew you were this cheap? It’s not enough to steal your sister’s marriage, you actually snatched it in front of the emperor, wanting the emperor to back you up. Are you sure that the people in our residence won’t expose you?”

“So, did the emperor have a big deal with you? If you don’t have the diamond, don’t take on the porcelain work. If you don’t want your face, we still want it!” Xiao Jing ‘ai covered her face and didn’t recover for a long time.

“You dare to hit me?”

“No matter what, I’m the county head conferred by the emperor and a relative of the royal family. You’re just a stepmother and you dare to attack me? If you’re afraid that your family’s dirty laundry will be exposed, why don’t you beat up those from the eldest branch? Which one of them hasn’t disgraced the Xiao family? Why, you don’t dare to, but when you come to me, you put on the airs of a legitimate mother!”

Madam Xiao’s face turned red from her words, and she was so angry that she couldn’t speak.

“Second Mother, you’re still talking about the county head.” Think about it, the emperor left without saying a word, and his heart was not on your side. You still used such a stupid move to force the emperor to fall. You should think about how long your title as the county head can last.”

Xiao Jing ‘ai scoffed. If it wasn’t for the convenience of doing things, she would have thought that she was the Xingping County Head, the last dynasty that would have a good time in a few years.

“You don’t have to argue with me. I can’t control you. Sister-in-law, I’ll let you deal with this unfilial daughter.”Madam Xiao flung her sleeves and left angrily.

Madam Xie and Xiao Baoxin were stunned. Alright, this was even more worry-free.

“In the future, if you have nothing to do, don’t go out of the courtyard. You can only eat after copying 3,000 words of scriptures every day.”Madam Xie said coldly.

Then, he punished Xing ‘er, who had been bribed by Xiao Jing’ ai, with twenty strokes of the cane and chased her out of the manor.

Xiao Jing ‘ai was besieged on all sides. It didn’t matter if she was being monitored while copying scriptures, as long as she knew that she still had Yang Shao in the future. But now, without Yang Shao, there was no one.

She had been looking forward to Yang Shao’s proposal every day, but the result was the same every day.

“I will not let this go. Yang Shao will definitely come and propose marriage…”

In fact, Yang Shao had indeed come to propose marriage, and he even directly begged Second Master Xiao. He had no choice but to come and beg. He was afraid that Xiao Jing ‘ai would go crazy from wanting to be the mother of a country. If she didn’t do as she wanted and said anything, he would lose his head..
