My Ferocious Tigress Wife

Chapter 114: Unattainable

Translator: 549690339

When Xie Xian arrived at the Xie Manor, it was already the evening of the second day.

The matter of the Crown Prince buying a bird and naming it Little Six was reported to Emperor Yu Heng by an inner servant. Emperor Yu Heng was furious and reprimanded the Crown Prince in the palace for four whole hours. This was because Little Six was the most favored prince on Emperor Epsilon’s Heart Peak.

Xie Xian was pulled back by the enraged Emperor Yu Heng. He first scolded the Crown Prince for being cruel and mischievous, then recounted his disappointment in the Crown Prince over the years.

Xie Xian understood the meaning behind Emperor Yu Heng’s words. The Emperor wanted to change his heir.

However, Emperor Yu Heng was still very clear about the bloodlust of the Song family. They had the nature of killing each other in their bodies, and the hands of any emperor were stained with the blood of their hands and feet.

Emperor Yu Heng thought that after the Crown Prince ascended to the throne, he might spare the life of King Xin ‘an. However, if King Xin’ an were to change his position, he would definitely not spare the Crown Prince’s life. He was once the Crown Prince of the country, and he had more innate conditions to rebel than others.

Emperor Yu Heng might have wanted to probe, but Xie Xian ignored him.

Now was not the time to talk about this. Emperor Yu Heng himself was still at the stage where he would appear and appear one after another and let his imagination run wild. He did not have the time to offend others.

According to him, the Crown Prince or the Xin ‘an King, it was hard to say who was better.

Just as Emperor Yu Heng was repeatedly muttering about the Crown Prince’s bad behavior, Imperial Consort Liu had a fight with Empress Wang in the Jianghuai area. She was punished by the Empress to kneel down and cry before she went to the Emperor to complain. Only then was Xie Xian able to escape.

The butler of the Xiao Manor had personally gone to visit and invite him the day before, but Xie Xian saw that it was already too late, so he replied that he would go the next day. However, he did not expect the Emperor to drag it out until evening.

Fortunately, the sky was not dark yet. Under the drizzling autumn rain, Xie Xian arrived at the Xie residence on an ox cart.

When Xie Furen looked at Xie Xian, he was indeed very handsome. However, in the current weather, he was already wearing a heavy cloak, and his face was slightly pale.

She was still the same person, but her mood was different. She had mixed feelings. If she was in good health, she would wake up laughing in her dreams as her son-in-law.

Xie Xian drank the hot tea and his body finally warmed up.

“Actually, Xian should have come to visit Aunt a few days ago.”He went straight to the point.” Aunt called Xian over yesterday. She must have heard some rumors recently.”

When Madam Xie sent the butler to invite him over, he knew that the matter of the Green Stream Pavilion had finally reached Madam Xie’s ears.

Although he called her aunt and nephew, they were not close. It was impossible for Xiao Baoshu to ask for advice on academic matters. Even if they were not familiar with him, they knew that Xiao Baoshu did not study at all. Asking for advice on academic matters was just an excuse to prevent others from gossiping.

However, in his opinion, they were now embroiled in scandals. No matter how high-sounding the excuse was, it would be inevitable for others to say it.

However, he had no choice but to accept the invitation of an elder.

He had to make his stance clear on this matter.

“..”Madam Xie smacked her lips for a long time, but she couldn’t call him nephew anymore. “I invited you over this time to ask you about the Green Stream Pavilion during the Begging for Qiao Festival. What was going on between you and Bao Xin?”

Xie Xian put down his teacup and sat upright.

“It was my mistake. At that time, it was already dark when I returned from court. Seeing that Eldest Lady only brought a few guards and maids, I was worried about Eldest Lady’s safety on the road, so I followed behind.”

“Eldest Lady didn’t know, so she stopped me…I was worried that if someone saw it, it would drag down Eldest Lady’s reputation, so I brought Eldest Lady to the pavilion beside Qingxi Bridge to explain it personally. In the end, because my feet were unsteady, 1 almost fell. Eldest Lady subconsciously helped me up, so people on the boat saw it.”

” Actually, it’s all my fault for ruining the lady’s reputation,” he explained calmly and slowly. His voice was gentle, and it made people unconsciously calm down.

“The person who spread the rumors was the Ninth Prince of the Xi family. There was a conflict between me and him before, so he distorted the truth and fabricated criticism.”

“I’ve already clarified many times, but I’m still very sorry for the damage to Lady Wang’s reputation.”

As he said that, Xie Xian stood up, lifted his robe, and kneeled straight on the ground.’Tve done wrong. Please forgive me. It’s all my fault. Please don’t…Make things difficult for Eldest Lady.”

Madam Xie had mixed feelings. She couldn’t tell if she should be happy or angry.

His daughter had sworn that she had taken a fancy to him, but his words clearly did not mean the same thing as his daughter. He did not have the slightest intention of taking advantage of the situation to ask for his wife.

“You mean, you have no feelings for auntie?”

Xie Xian lowered his eyes and shook his head gently.

“Aunt, Eldest Niangzi is beautiful on the outside and intelligent on the inside. The criticism she received today is just a temporary misunderstanding. One day, the truth will be revealed and she will be treated with sincerity. And with such a body, how would he dare to drag others down?”

“In the ancestor examination, my father died young. It is obvious that he did not have any expectations for himself…He was only thinking about being filial to his grandmother and mother. He had no intention of getting married and having children…Xian, 1 don’t want to drag people down.”

Madam Xie’s heart was sour and cold. Why did these words sound so heartbreaking when they came out of Xie Xian’s mouth?

He was clearly a proud son of heaven, but it was a pity that his body was not strong enough.

“You can’t say that. Everyone’s life is destined by the heavens and not by themselves. Should you get married or should you get married? How do you know that your mother won’t feel sorry for you when you are like this? There are three ways to be unfilial. The biggest is to have no descendants. You can’t take it for granted. How do you know that your mother doesn’t want grandchildren?”

After saying that, Madam Xie felt that something was wrong. Why did it feel like she was going off track?

She had clearly called someone to denounce her, but she had inexplicably volunteered to stand on the enemy’s side. It was as if the Xiao family was in a hurry to beg her to marry their daughter.

” I’m not saying that you must marry our Baoxin.” Madam Xie was so agitated that she even called out her daughter’s maiden name. “Don’t misunderstand, I’m just… I’m also your mother, so I know your heart.”

“Get up quickly. The ground is cold. Don’t let the cold enter your body.”

Xie Xian’s eyes darkened as he slowly stood up.

“I didn’t ask you to come for any other reason. 1 just wanted to ask.”Madam Xie said. She couldn’t tell if she was relieved or worried again. “You don’t know how important reputation is to a woman. My aunt was scammed by the Yuan family. If not for them, my aunt wouldn’t be where she is today!”

“I heard that General Yang has already asked the Eldest Lady for a wife. General Yang is young and promising, and has a broad mind.”Xie Xian comforted her.

Who knew that it would be fine if Yang Shao wasn’t mentioned, but the moment he was mentioned, Madam Xie’s disdain couldn’t be concealed and shot straight to the sky. However, due to the reputation of the Xiao family, it was not good to wash the dirty linen in public. He only snorted coldly,

“Don’t talk about him. My Xiao Manor is not worthy of him..”
