My Ferocious Tigress Wife
Translator: 549690339
Madam Xie had her own concerns. It was not purely because she could not stand her daughterâs bossiness. She also felt that Madam Zhou needed a lesson, but the timing and occasion were not right.
âThatâs your mother-in-lawâs birthdayâ¦Youâre lucky that youâre pregnant now. At least she still cares about you. Otherwise, she wouldnât have flared up. If she pulled you over and scolded you, would you be able to take it with your temper?â
âYour mother-in-law is a person who doesnât rub sand in her eyes. Sheâs not as easy to fool as Ah Niang.â
[I agree. Grandmother said something fair.]
âListen to Ah Niangâs advice. In the future, you can change your temper. No matter what, the in-laws âfamily is not the maternal family. Youâre pregnant now, and your son-in-law is newlyweds. He treats you well and treats you well, but one day, the novelty will wear off. When that time comesâ¦With your straightforward personality, you might be seen as a good point by others.âMadam Xie tried her best to persuade her daughter, hoping that she would restrain herself.
âMother also came over from the time of the little wife. Donât think that Mother is a fool.â
âI didnât.â Xiao Baoxin grinned and held Madam Xieâs arm.âIn this world, besides mother, who else would treat me so well? Iâm not stupid.â
How smart do you think you are? Madam Xiao is worried.
However, she couldnât say this out loud. Her daughter seemed to think highly of herself. She always thought that she was smart, but she was stupid as a mother.
Xiao Baoxinâs black lines were seen through by Ah Niang.
âMother, Iâm notâ¦â It was not easy to explain, so Xiao Baoxin simply opened his mouth and said to Madam Xie,âItâs not just Aunt Fifteen, thereâs also Xuan Huiâ¦â
âWhat does it have to do with Xuan Hui?â Madam Xie was shocked, her eyes wide open.
â Madam Zhou not only said that there was something going on between Aunt Fifteen and the Chu familyâs eldest son, but she also framed her and Xuanhuiâ¦â â She and Xuan Hui?!â Madam Xie was furious. âThrowing them out is a light punishment. Why didnât you slap them before throwing them out?â After saying that, she also felt that she seemed to have been too intense.
Madam Xie had always been protective of her children, and she was actually not much different from Madam Yuan.
This was especially true for a son-in-law who was obedient to his daughter. She could tolerate her sonâs words, but she would definitely not allow her son-in-law to do so!
She wasnât praising him, but her son-in-law wouldnât be able to flirt with other women.
Not to mention how busy he was, he was the pillar of the pillar. The number of times a daughter saw her son-in-law was less than the number of times the emperor saw his son-in-law. Even with that body, her daughterâs martial arts would not allow her son-in-law to eat grass near his nest.
The birthday boy hanged himself, he didnât want to live long.
âDaughter, you canât take this to heart. Even if you take it to heart, you canât mention it to Xuan Hui. If you didnât mention it, he wouldnât have wanted to, but if you mentioned it, he would have wanted to.â
Xiao Baoxin:â Can she say it? Sheâs already said what she shouldnât have said.â
âYou already said so?â Needless to say, Madam Xie understood the awkward expression on her face.â Youâre so heartless!â
I, Grandmother, am mighty and dare to say anything.
âMother, listen to me. We have to tell Xuan Hui about this. I canât just stand up and take the blame. Itâs fine if others say that Iâm arrogant and despotic, but I canât let the Xie family say that.â
Xiao Baoxin held Madam Xieâs hand and told her everything in detail.
Especially the scheming between the Chu Yuan family and the Chu familyâs chief branch, and Lady Yuan was a protective mother. Of course, she didnât think about the Chu Yuan family when she lost her temper. It was only when Xie Xian made it clear to her that she found out.
However, his mother-in-law was a precious mother, so Xiao Baoxin was still certain.
Others wouldnât dare to say that mother-in-law would side with him, but this matter concerned Xie Xian. Mother-in-law cherished her feathers even more than Xie Xian himself, so she definitely wouldnât allow Madam Zhou to be slandered like this.
In front of Madam Xie, Xiao Baoxin naturally said things in a roundabout manner.
As expected, after listening to Xiao Baoxinâs analysis, Madam Xie calmed down and understood.âYou, Iâve said it before, youâre indeed more thoughtful than me.â
âMother might also be worried and confused. Anywayâ¦You have to be careful.â
âDonât think that you can be lawless just because sheâs good to you now.â
Xiao Baoxin did not find it annoying at all. In this world, only his biological mother could miss her so much. She thought more about everything than her, afraid that she would suffer a little in her in-laws âfamily.
âMother, I know what Iâm doing. Iâm not a proud person.â
â Itâs best if itâs true.â Madam Xie sighed. She felt that her daughterâs temper was too fiery, and it was not a good thing. Otherwise, she would not have tried so hard to restrain her in the past.
She didnât know if her daughter was like this or if she had made things worse.
The mother and daughter chatted on the way. They didnât talk too much about Xiao Jing âaiâs death. The main thing was that Madam Xie really didnât think that Yang Shao was the murderer. It was the same as Xi Sanlangâs statement. With Xiao Jingâ aiâs behavior, even if He Li was stuffed, he really wouldnât kill anyone. The reason why Imperial Censor Xiao was so persistent was because he didnât know how much pain his daughter was in. He couldnât take it anymore when she suddenly died.
Because Xie Xian had invited Old Master Wei and Xi Sanlang had invited Master Huihai, Madam Caiâs illness had gradually improved due to both pharmacology and psychology. However, she was still somewhat weak, so she stayed at home.
When Xiao Baoxin returned to the Xiao family, he went straight to the Cai familyâs courtyard. This time, Madam Xie did not stop him.
Because of this illness, Mrs. Cai had a strong sense of belonging to the Xiao family. She had come to a realization. In the past, she thought highly of her family background, but now, her feelings for the Xiao family were even stronger. No one could say anything bad about the Xiao familyâ¦Of course, she was only active in the Xiao residence. No one dared to say anything bad about their family head.
Even in the letter to Xiao Baoshan, he repeatedly emphasized that brothers should respect each other, that the Xiao family was a group, and that he must not have any bad blood with his stepmother, younger siblings.
This was something that the two of them had talked about when they were in Jingling. Otherwise, Xiao Baoshan would have really suspected that Madam Xie had some brainwashing method to turn the pearl of the Cai family into Madam Xieâs fan.
However, Xiao Baoshan still heaved a sigh of relief when he received the letter from the Cai family. He was finally relieved.
No matter how much they fought, they were still husband and wife. Especially after the incident with Lu Liu, their relationship was as good as one person. When he heard that Mrs. Caiâs health was not good, if it was not for the war outside, he would have rushed back to Jiankang.
Knowing that Mrs. Cai had recovered, she only felt grateful for her stepmother and sister.
How did Madam Xie and Xiao Baoxin treat the Cai family? They spent a lot of money and went around looking for patients to treat them. All kinds of rare medicinal herbs were like a bottomless pit. The Cai family would not be where they are today.
The Cai family didnât even send anyone to ask about her when she was sick. Compared to the Xiao family, they were so warm.
As a result, she cried when she saw Xiao Baoxin, feeling as if she had been reborn.
Xiao Baoxin:
âYour sister-in-law is very sentimental now.â Madam Xie whispered.
âMother, Big Lady.â Madam Cai hurriedly stood up to welcome him. The maids in the room watched as this person walked up with flying steps. Those who knew were welcoming guests, and those who didnât know were wrestling.
âI knew that the lady would come back today..â
