Chapter 403 - 403: Not a Kind Person
My Ferocious Tigress Wife
Translator: 549690339
The current situation was chaotic, and the Zhou family did not have much to do in Jiankang City. The Zhou family only had a provincial governor who was unwilling to go to Jiaozhou because of his emotions. He was dismissed by Emperor Yong Ping and was now idle at home.
The entire Zhou family had already been sidelined in Jiankang City.
If Xiao Baoxin had not mentioned it, Xie Xian would have already forgotten about the Zhou Clan.
It had to be said that with the death of Zhou Weiniang, the Zhou family had once again returned to Xie Xianâs line of sight.
Now that Xiao Baoxin was pregnant, there was no room for mistakes.
On the surface, the two of them did not continue to discuss this matter in depth. However, while they were lying on the bed and chatting about todayâs idle matters, they were both vigilant in their hearts.
It wasnât until the next night, when Ming Yue came back with some news, that Xie Xian found out that Zhou Weiniang really didnât die of illness like the rumors said. It was the nunnery she was in that was robbed. Not only did the robbers rob everything in the nunnery, but they also killed all the nuns.
The Zhou family did not receive the news immediately. It was only the pilgrims who used to burn incense in the nunnery who discovered that something was wrong. After reporting it to the authorities, Scarlet Yang Yin verified his identity before finding the Zhou family.
The Zhou family went out of the city and hastily bought a coffin to bury him.
Xie Xian was speechless for a long time.
Ming Yue then compiled the Zhou Clanâs relatives into a book and handed it to Xie Xian. After flipping through it once, he remembered it in his heart.
âIn the future, remember that if any of these families invite you, send the invitation directly to me. Donât let Furen go.âHe instructed,â Give these to Madamâs four maids as well.â
Ming Yue nodded. The matter of the Madamâs side was a big deal in front of Lord Lang, and he was used to it. Moreover, this was a death feud, so he had to be careful.
After all, the Zhou family had already been squeezed into a third-rate family. It was difficult to guarantee that there would be a few mental patients who would vent their anger on others.
Xie Xian thought for a moment. This matter could not be let go easily. With Xiao Baoxinâs carefree personality, he would probably feel awkward if he did not say it out loud. He immediately returned to his room and told Xiao Baoxin.
Xiao Baoxin only let out a long sigh.
âA pitiful person must have something hateful about him.âXie Xian was obviously afraid that Xiao Baoxin would soften his heart and blame him, so he tried to enlighten her. âIf she hadnât been so ruthless and wanted to poison you to death, how would you have ended up like this? This is retribution.â âRepaying evil with kindness, how can you repay justice?â
âDonât let others affect your mood.â
He was afraid that she was a big white lotus in the world. It was not enough for her to slap the left side of her face and stretch her right face over. She even had to care if her hand hurt.
â.. I didnât.â Xiao Baoxin reflected on it. Could it be that his sigh made him have such an unrealistic association?
She really wasnât a kind person.
Treat the world with a loving heartâ¦This wasnât her. This was Buddha and Bodhisattva.
Hit her left cheek, she would definitely hit it back!
Not only did he have to beat her back, but he also had to beat her back ruthlessly and give her interest. Otherwise, she would be letting down the hand she had extended. If there was no blood on the blade, how could it come out of its sheath?
She said,âI just wanted to⦠There must be something hateful about a pitiful person. Also, in this chaotic world, human lives were like grass. Zhou Weiniang was dead, and there were other nuns who were cultivating in the temple like her. It couldnât be karma that found them. There must be some innocent people.â
âIâd rather be a dog in a golden age than a man in a chaotic world.âShe sighed. âI really hope that this war will end soon.â
Xie Xian stepped forward and gently pulled her into his embrace.
In fact, since the founding of Daliang, or even dozens of years ago, wars had never been far away. It was just that the number of wars in Jiankang or after the founding of Daliang had decreased, and they were all far away from the border with North Wu. It was rare to see a situation like this, where wars were everywhere.
This should be the first time seeing someone at Xiao Baoxinâs age.
However, Xie Xian did not say much. He just quietly hugged her, and his heart seemed to have settled down.
When he lay on the bed at night, he had to remind Xiao Baoxin to stay away from the Zhou family.
âYour current situation is special. You must be careful.â
Xiao Baoxin was lying on his side. He was almost five months pregnant, and his stomach was round like a pot. It was so round that it was very easy to touch. She rubbed her belly and said,
âYou donât have to say it. Granny and my mother had already given me a restraining order that day. They didnât even want me to go back to my motherâs house.â
She gritted her teeth.â Wait until I give birth. Iâll let these people know. Donât think that Iâm easy to bully.ââ
âLittle lady, Iâve never been afraid of anyone!â
If it wasnât for the fact that she was pregnant with such a small thing, she wouldnât have brought it with her. It would have scared people so much that they didnât even dare to leave the residence.
If they dared to touch her, she would dare to smash their residence!
Xie Xian couldnât help but laugh. Just being with his wife, he felt happy no matter what.
Looking at her small face that was puffed up like a bun, she was simply too cute. She leaned over and hugged him before taking a bite.
âItâs been quite a long time. Why donât⦠Again?â He asked in a low voice, his eyes were full of naked fruits, he looked at them carefully, and his eyes were full of spring.
âPractice makes perfect.â
Xie Xian expressed that he had already read Pan Shuoâs book thoroughly, and he was only lacking practice.
Xiao Baoxin couldnât help but roll his eyes when he âheardâ Pan Shuoâs name. Because Xie Xian had a glib tongue, he chased after the Imperial Physician and asked Pan Shuo about it. This matter had already spread. Even his own mother had heard it, so most of the people in Jiankang City must have heard it as well. Did she still have any image left?
She would forget if she didnât say it, and once she said it, she was full of dissatisfaction. Seeing him approach her with a smile, she couldnât help but glare at him.
âYouâre really embarrassing me.â
Who was Xie Xian?
Of course, she understood. She pretended not to understand and kissed him.
There was an old saying that couples quarreled at the head of the bed and reconciled at the end of the bed. As long as they could get into this bed, would they have to worry about not getting along? It didnât hurt to scold or glare at him. What could he do?
The fusion of Yin and Yang was the right path!
[Xiao Baoxin: Go to your righteous pathâ¦] Oh, so fragrant. She thought so too.

No one had expected that the incident with Zhou Weiniang would suddenly escalate. An imperial censor surnamed Su had been involved with Yin Kongyi of Dan Yang and Zhang Yu of Jiankang. Recently, there had been many incidents of bandits in and outside the city. The Jingyue Temple outside the city was the most tragic. People had already died. After so long, Dan Yang Yin had done nothing. A single turn caused a thousand waves. Dan Yang Yin and Jiankang Ling were impeached and dismissed at the same time.
Zhou Weiniangâs death was completely exposed to the public and spread throughout Jiankang.
The person who took over the Jiankang order was Yan Dong, a scholar from a poor family. Danyang Yin fell to Chu Yan, the commander of the Chu familyâs horse. He was originally the Minister of Civil Affairs and later promoted to Danyang Yin.
Chu Yan was married to Emperor Yuhengâs Princess of South County and was also the oldest of the former emperorâs children. He usually lived in seclusion and did not interact much with others, but Chu Yan looked confident and calm, and he had a wide range of friends..
