My Ferocious Tigress Wife

The mother and daughter chatted for a while more before Xiao Baoxin asked to see Madam Cai. Before he could finish, Madam Xie blocked him.
âAlthough her illness has improved recently, it hasnât fully recovered yet. I know that your sister-in-law got along well in the past, but thereâs no hurry now. You donât have to be more careful now that you have a body.â
âI donât even allow Mother Jing and An Du to go near her. Iâm afraid that theyâll attract the children.â
Speaking of sisters-in-law, they got along better after the incident with Lu Liu. After Lady Cai followed Xiao Baoshan to Jingling and took office, they interacted with each other. They were far away and near, and they were much more harmonious than before.
Hearing what Madam Xie said, Xiao Baoxin frowned.
âDidnât you say youâre better? Why canât I see anyone?â
âItâs not that you canât see people.âMadam Xie glared at her.â Donât say that my mother-in-law is unreasonable. Your sister-in-law has personally instructed you to take care of your body now and take good care of it. It wonât be too late to see her again when sheâs fully recovered.ââ
âSheâs fine. Sheâs just scared and caught a cold. Sheâs getting better, so you donât have to worry. If she doesnât get better, how can I not look for the imperial physician to treat her?â
After saying that, he sighed.
âSheâs also in a difficult situation. Sheâs shocked and frightened, and she still misses your brotherâ¦The daughters of aristocratic families had never suffered like this.â
He talked about Jingling again.
Xiao Baoshu was in the limelight and was awe-inspiring. The imperial court would receive battle reports from time to time. At least as a mother, she could still hear sporadic news. It was much more difficult for Xiao Baoshan.
Although he was the prefect who had resigned, he had listened to Xie Xianâs advice and had not gone to his post. He had been staying in Jingling.
However, the prefect who took over his position was replaced too quickly. The power was handed over directly, and there was nothing for him to do, so he stayed in Jingling. It was obvious how awkward it was to stay in Jingling as the governor of Jiang Prefecture.
They were not like Xiao Baoshu who did not care about anything when he went crazy and dared to take the rebel armyâs retreat with dozens or hundreds of peopleâ¦Honest was still in Jingling. There was no news of him from the imperial court, and many of the courier stations between Jingling and Jiankang had been destroyed. It was not convenient to send letters.
Fortunately, the two brothers were in Jing State and could still take care of each other.
When Madam Cai heard that news of Xiao Baoshu had spread all over Jiankang, she could not help but worry about her husband.
The two of them had lived outside for more than half a year and experienced war. Their relationship had never been so close.
Since sister-in-law misses brother, Iâll ask Xuan Hui to ask brother when the Xie familyâs men of sacrifice send back news next timeâ¦â
âWhatâs the matter with staying in Jingling without knowing? Can you ask Xuanhui to think of a way to transfer Baoshan back to the capital?âMadam Xie knew Xie Xianâs current status in the court. He was someone who could shake the court with a single stomp.
âEven the Jiang Prefecture Governor has rebelled. Where can he take up his post?â
Now that the imperial court and the rebel army were at war, the former governor of Jiang Prefecture, King Jin âan, had proclaimed himself emperor. Xiao Baoshan had been given an edict and was unable to take up his post. The land under his jurisdiction was the rebel armyâs headquarters, so he had to be able to enter even if he wanted to.
Xiao Baoxin nodded.â I donât know much about the matters of the imperial court. Iâd better ask Xuan Hui what to do.ââ
Although she knew her place in Xie Xianâs heart, she still did not agree immediately. After all, no one knew if there were any twists and turns or if the imperial court had other arrangements.
If she didnât understand, she wouldnât interfere and make wishes blindly.
âAlright, thatâs fine. Iâll talk to your sister-in-law and let her relaxâ¦â
Xiao Baoxinâs head hurt. This was the reason why she didnât say anything to Madam Xie. Her mouth was too fast. âDonât mention it to sister-in-law if youâre not confident. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.â
âAs for Lady Jing and Andu, I brought many small toys for them.â
Xiao Baoxin was tired after sitting for a long time, so he got up to see his nephew and niece.
âYouâre an elder. How can you go and see them? Iâll get someone to call them for you.âMadam Xie stopped Xiao Baoxin and said that she wanted them to call him. She stood up and went out without waiting for him to open his mouth. Her happy face was obvious that she had grandchildren.
Xiao Baoxin walked around the courtyard twice.
Madam Cai was sick, so Madam Xie simply brought the children to her own courtyard. It was already past noon, long past the time for the afternoon break. The children were all awake. Madam Xie went to the room and directly brought them over to Mother Jing. Andu had just turned one year old and was still walking unsteadily, so Nanny carried him over.
The two children looked like they were carved out of jade. They had long since lost the ashen face they had when they first returned to the Xiao Manor. One look at Madam Xie and it was obvious that she had taken good care of them.
She fed them until they were chubby and pink. Even the usually slender Mother Jing had some flesh on her face.
Xiao Baoxin came out at this moment. An Du had become fatter after eating and looked like a tiger. He did not look like this when he was young, but now he looked 70 â 80% like Xiao Baoshu when he was young.
Was this the reason why Madam Xie was holding her heart so tightly?
Xiao Baoxin had visually estimated the figures of the two children last time. This time, he had brought back four or five sets of autumn clothes. They would be able to put them on in a few days. Then there were the toys that children liked and the two beaded flowers for Lady Jing.
Jingniang was five years old and had a slender and elegant appearance. She had thin eyebrows and long eyes. She looked a little like Cai Shi, but she was even more exquisite than Cai Shi. Her little mouth was also used to being able to talk. When she saw Xiao Baoxin, she was like an aunt before an aunt, and she was so sticky.
Children were young, but they were more sensitive to anyone who treated them well.
Moreover, Madam Cai had been nagging her to get closer to Xiao Baoxin.
In her eyes, her aunt was the best, the most beautiful, and the kindest.
Mother said that she was sick and it was inconvenient for her to see aunt.
She was afraid that she would pass out and give aunt. Ah Niang told me to tell auntie when I see auntie. Thank auntie for your concern. Ah Niang is fine.âHer voice was gentle and soft, and she spoke clearly and logically.
Xiao Baoxin laughed. The little girl was a little mischievous.
In the past, she had liked Lady Jing. She was different from the noisy her. Lady Jing had been obedient since she was young. However, she did not get along with the Cai family in the past and rarely interacted with them.
She was pregnant and could not carry the child, so she pulled Jing Niangâs small hand and touched An Duâs face.
Perhaps it was because after she got pregnant, she thought that every familyâs child was so cute, not to mention that this was really her own.
They stayed for the entire afternoon. Before they left, the sky was almost dark, but Mother Jing still reluctantly held Xiao Baoxinâs hand and asked when she would come again.
âWhen your motherâs body is better, I will come over.â
âMy mother will be fine tomorrow. Aunt, come back tomorrow.ââHe sold his mother out quickly.
Madam Xie stopped receiving them.â You should leave quickly. If you donât come home at this hour, your in-laws will miss you. You donât have to keep coming here and make people say bad things. Everything at home is fine.ââ
After sending Xiao Baoxin to the car, he did not forget to remind Youmei,
âTake out your ability to protect your master loyally last time. If anyone dares to come up and provoke your big lady, directly cut off their arms. I, your wife, will take care of everything-and Xie Xian!â
âThe world is in chaos now. You must be vigilant.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Youmei had wanted to laugh back then. Was there anyone so blind now? In the end, Xiao Baoxinâs hand and Madam Xieâs mouth were both so accurate..
