Chapter 288
Actually, upon closer reflection, Fan Xiaoxiao realized she had actually made a profit.
Those are the male and female protagonists, people who embody the destiny of heaven and earth.
How bad could the child be?
Whether it's a son or a daughter, they will surely have a good support system in the future.
Now that Bai Chaoyan has agreed, their family has come out ahead.
Xiahou and Bai Chaoyan were naturally overjoyed.
But things are a bit more complicated with my own sister and brother-in-law.
The new wife doesn't seem to have the spoiled princess temperament that people imagine, but there's another person in the couple now, plus the fear and anxiety they've always had and many unspeakable grudges.
Fan Xiaoxiao also knew that her sister was happy on the surface, but was actually not happy inside.
So for the rest of the time she stayed with her sister at the governor's mansion.
Although she was a concubine, she was still a significant figure in Qingzhou.
The soldiers in the Mu family's household were something even more important.
Therefore, the Fan family was far inferior in terms of prestige and other aspects.
Even the "younger sister" who joined the family later was not required to serve tea to her, the original wife.
"Only the new bride smiles, but the old bride cries." Fan Xiaoxiao raised her hand and closed the half-open window.
It was only at this point that Fan's eyes turned slightly red.
She raised her handkerchief to wipe her eyes, shook her head and said, "It's common for men to have three wives and four concubines. Jealousy will only make things more difficult in the courtyard."
Fan Xiaoxiao disagreed with her sister's advice, but that's just how the times are.
She didn't argue with her sister, because that would only make her more upset.
But she brought this up not to reopen her sister's wounds, but for another purpose.
“Sister, what I mean is, you are in no way inferior to that Lady Mu.”
Upon hearing this, Madam Fan felt even more dejected, and she clenched her handkerchief tightly.
Fan Xiaoxiao didn't want to talk about this, but she didn't say it, that her sister would become one of the leader's wives and concubines in the future.
The humble origins of the ordinary woman from Wuxi Village meant that she would inevitably be compared to that of the Mu family.
Rather than letting others speak ill of my sister.
It would be better if she did it.
And address these psychological issues early on.
"Er Ya, don't try to comfort me."
As expected, Madam Fan sighed and shook her head.
Fan Xiaoxiao held her sister's cold fingers: "I mean it!"
"Ms. Mu is gentle and refined, and my elder sister is no less so."
“But she has the Mu family’s troops…” Madam Fan knew very well that she may have just wanted to live a good life before, but now that she was the wife of the governor and a mother, she was strong.
She had to confront things she hadn't had to, or was unwilling to, confront before.
Fan Xiaoxiao's gaze was firm, and she tightened her grip on her fingers: "Sister! She has a father! You have me!"
Fan was taken aback when she heard this, thinking that her sister was joking.
But Fan Xiaoxiao raised her hand and used her fingertips to wipe away the moisture from the corner of her eyes: "I'm not joking."
"For my sister's sake, I will make the business bigger and stronger in the future! So that our children can also become outstanding individuals."
"You have to believe me! Think about when I've ever lied to you. Or I can swear on it."
Seeing her earnest expression, Madam Fan couldn't help but smile through her tears.
He quickly grabbed her hand as she made her vow to the heavens.
"Alright, alright! I believe you. What other solemn oath do you want to swear?"
After Yu Xiaobao returned from playing around at the banquet outside, the two talked for a long time.
After the mother and son fell asleep, Fan Xiaoxiao took her leave.
...
...
In this marriage, Xiahou's was secondary.
Yu Cheng's is quite something.
First, it indicates that the righteous army led by the Mu family joined Qingzhou.
Secondly, it conveys that Governor Yu Cheng was not as seriously injured and dying as the rumors suggested.
This was a resounding slap in the face to those who spread rumors.
Soon, the situation in Qingzhou became clear again.
Fan Xiaoxiao was organizing the accounts at the silk reeling workshop when she suddenly heard someone come over to report something.
They said someone was looking for her.
I went outside to take a look.
They were actually from the Tianshan Sect.
The disciples all looked indignant.
The one leading them was none other than Sang Lan'er.
Fan Xiaoxiao's heart skipped a beat.
What are they trying to do?
Could it be that they're here to cause trouble? But that shouldn't be the case! She hasn't offended the Tianshan Sect, much less Sang Lan'er.
Even the things they brought along were brought by Fan Xiaoxiao!
Upon further reflection, could it be because of Sang Yu'er?
She frowned. That's possible.
Sang Yuer was imprisoned for a long time, and even after escaping, she was caught and brought back. It's no wonder she harbored resentment towards them!
Fan Xiaoxiao's mind raced, and in just two minutes, she had already experienced an internal storm.
But when he actually stood in front of everyone...
She, on the other hand, became even calmer.
"Madam Sang," Fan Xiaoxiao glanced around at everyone, smiling calmly, "what are you doing?"
She was truly calm now.
This Qingzhou is not Tianshan; her current identity is that of the highest leader's sister-in-law.
Especially since Xiahou is currently the second-in-command here.
So no matter how you look at it, these people won't do anything to her!
"Qingzhou is a city ruled by law! Don't act impulsively!"
Although Fan Xiaoxiao remained calm, she was known in the martial arts world for her stubbornness.
Little Black isn't with me right now, and neither is my husband.
Although there were members of the Ancient Moon Cult nearby, there were relatively few of them.
Before me stood a large group of Tianshan Sect disciples.
Sang Lan'er's expression changed, and she seemed a little irritated.
Just when Fan Xiaoxiao thought she was about to suddenly attack.
Sang Lan'er stepped forward, bowed deeply, and said through gritted teeth, "Madam Gu, please take us in!"
The others also bowed in unison: "Please!"
What's going on?
It wasn't until Fan Xiaoxiao called Sang Lan'er inside to talk that she understood.
It turned out that the Celestial Venerable's injuries had improved, and he had found a place in a nearby prefecture or county to continue recuperating.
However, the Tianshan Sect is no longer the dominant sect in the snowy mountains it once was.
The disciples also need to eat...
"That's how it is." Sang Lan'er sighed. "That's what both Senior Brother and Master think."
"We hope to participate in business and construction in Qingzhou."
"..."
Fan Xiaoxiao originally thought that a cold and aloof man like Xiahou would never say anything nice to a country girl like her who didn't know martial arts.
Unexpectedly, he praised her to the skies behind her back.
To be honest, she really enjoyed it.
After all, that's the male lead, and his future father-in-law!
Being appreciated and praised by him is an honor better than being praised by anyone else.
"So, could you perhaps arrange a job for me?"
“Sure,” Fan Xiaoxiao nodded.
The people of the Tianshan Sect are skilled in martial arts, strong, and most importantly, literate.
In the business world, they are top-tier talents that are hard to find.
If it weren't for the fact that running a private school was under Xiahou's jurisdiction, and she, as a businesswoman, couldn't get involved, she would have started literacy classes long ago.
He immediately and happily instructed the manager to take these people down and assign them suitable jobs.
Silk reeling workshops, which don't require high barriers to entry, certainly shouldn't waste resources.
Sang Lan'er took a few steps, then suddenly turned back: "Fan Xiaoxiao, thank you."
