Chapter 878: Chapter 878-Overwhelming Will Is Not Enough

“But, is it really okay to tell the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng about the Xie family’s men of sacrifice in Jingzhou?”Xiao Baoxin was rather worried.

“Xuan Cheng is a man of his word, and my mother is not someone who can keep secrets. If it really reaches the emperor’s ears, will it bring you a bad influence?”

In fact, she was still hugging him as she said it. Her mother could not hide any secrets in her heart.

As long as she knew something, almost half of the people in Jiankang City would know.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Sikong Xiao, Xie Xian, and Mother Xie to know about her innate skill and hide it from her mother until now.

It wasn’t that he didn’t trust her mother, nor was it that he didn’t trust her heart. He just didn’t believe her mouth.

She was thinking for Madam Xie and was afraid that her mother would get sick from holding it in.

This was what Xie Xian had told her long ago. Otherwise, she would not have taken the risk to leak this out.

Although Xiao Baoxin had such a talent and ability to hear the thoughts of others, she was actually the one with the tight-lipped mouth. Of course, it was fortunate that she kept her mouth shut. Otherwise, all kinds of gossip would have spread all over the place.

“Naturally, it’s fine.”

Xie Xian expressed that he was not so eager to be fair and righteous that he would sell all his family property in order to appease the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng.

Only Xiao Baoxin could make him do this.

“This kind of thing is common. I’m worried about my brother-in-law because I sent someone to protect him when he went to Jingling. If the emperor was suspicious of this, then he could be suspicious.”

“It’s hard for him not to be suspicious.”

“I’ll have a chance to explain it to him in the future.” There is no such thing as a good or bad influence in this matter. Rather than letting others make up something out of nothing and pour dirty water on me, it is better to expose it myself and let the emperor know first.”

There was a precaution.

Xiao Baoxin nodded repeatedly. My husband is right.

What he said made sense.

Looking at his face, no matter what came out of his mouth, it was filled with the brilliance and wisdom of humanity.

###

Although he could tell from the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng’s heart that Madam Xie was not that angry, as a child, how could he not be worried? Xiao Baoxin returned to Sikong’s residence every two days.

It was true that she was in the mourning period, but was it not filial to her own mother?

Xiao Baoxin wasn’t afraid of people talking too much. Anyway, he was upright. If people wanted to splash dirty water on him, there was nothing he could do.

Wasn’t the amount of dirty water that had been splashed on her a lot?

She sat on the folding calf cart and went back to her mother’s house.

It was impossible for Madam Xie not to be angry. Her husband had been on the battlefield for many years and was used to it. It was different for her to be close to her son. She was already sick and tired of the rumors that had been spreading for more than ten years. If they were all true, her Sikong Shao would have died a hundred times over.

However, there were some things that were clear in his heart, but he could not help but mutter.

After a long time, it was the flesh that fell from his body. He hurriedly did not want to eat.

It would be an exaggeration to say that his mouth was on fire.

Xiao Baoxin looked at Madam Xie. No matter how tight-lipped she was, the news would definitely have leaked out long ago. He was all smiles, and his entire being was full of pride. That was completely different from the rumors on the market that Xiao Baoshu was injured. If she didn’t have any insider information, how much knowledge did this mother have?

“I heard the Eldest Princess say that mother was very anxious…”

“That’s not true. Your Abba has risked his life for the country for so many years. How can I be a burden for your Abba and cause trouble for the imperial court?”Madam Xie raised her voice and blinked at Xiao Baoxin.

Dayou, look at me, I understand. I didn’t say anything, but I don’t make people suspicious.

Xiao Baoxin was speechless.

On the other side, the eldest princess of Xuancheng also said,”Yes, after listening to the eldest lady’s words, I also deeply understand my own shortcomings.” Ah Lang went out to be loyal to the country and ensure the peace of Daliang. I can’t go into battle to kill the enemy and share his worries, nor can I let others fool me into not believing in my husband’s ability.”

“My husband is a hero. He can’t be injured!”

” Others might not know, but you don’t,” Madam Xie continued.” Why didn’t you bring the children here? Where’s my eldest grandson?”

She had already pulled Xiao Baoxin into the house before she remembered to look around at her own grandson.

The length of the reflex arc was obvious.

“I thought that bringing them out would be bringing their families along, so it would be very busy. At noon, Ah Qi would have to sleep for more than two hours without being struck by lightning. It was quite torturous, so I didn’t bring them over.”

When Xiao Baoxin saw that Madam Xie was in high spirits, her voice was even higher than hers, and her face was even redder than hers, he felt a huge weight lifted off his chest.

Although he knew that the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng’s words were inevitably exaggerated, she was still his own mother. If he did not see it with his own eyes, he would really be worried.

Although Madam Xie was scolding Xiao Baoshu, how could she not be worried when her son went to the battlefield?

Madam Xie chased the maids out as she spoke. She had heard the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng say it once, but she was still curious. If there was anything that the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng had missed out, Madam Xie could not help but ask the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng again.

From the battlefield situation to eating and drinking, it was as if Xiao Baoxin’s clairvoyance could see it in real time.

Xiao Baoxin didn’t know what to say.

These two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were like tigers. They thought she was very capable. If she did not say anything, they would definitely be afraid again. Anyway, if she dared to say it, it was fine as long as they dared to believe it.

At the very least, he had appeased them.

It was just past noon. Xiao Baoxin left in a hurry after lunch. He couldn’t stand their interrogation. If he asked her again, she really wouldn’t be able to make it up.

Their skills were still not enough. She believed that Xie Xian would definitely be able to make their three souls and seven spirits safe and sound with this trip.

Soon, Emperor Yong Ping received news.

He wasn’t asking on purpose, he was just worried about his sister. Although Xuan Cheng did not say anything good about Taiji Palace on the spot, he could not resist the fact that she was his biological sister. After his anger subsided, he understood that his sister’s soul was tied to Xiao Baoshu.

It would be difficult for Xuancheng if the rumors spread like wildfire.

In less than two days, Emperor Yong Ping called Xuan Cheng into the palace. Although he could not remotely command Prince Jiang Xia to support Sikong Xiao and unite the two sides, if there was really something going on, Prince Jiang Xia’s selfishness was involved.

When this war was over, he would have to settle accounts with King Jiang Xia.

Xie Xian said that he was a traitor to King Linchuan, and many of his trusted subordinates were betrayed and colluded with the outside world to be defeated. The situation in Yongzhou was complicated. If Jiang Xia King led his troops to meet Sikong Xiao, those old subordinates in Yongzhou would take the opportunity to rebel.

In the past, there was still Prince Linchuan. After all, he was the royal family of Song and Liang. He still cared about the inheritance of his ancestors. If he fell into the hands of others and directly colluded with North Wu, the situation between Liang and Wu would likely change subversively.
