My Ferocious Tigress Wife

The rumors of Rouranâs ninth princess had been spreading for a month, but they couldnât stop Yang Shao. Only then did she stop. She really knew that he had no intention of her.
Unlike Zhuge Fuâs house, where she could still find her way to the Yang family, she couldnât even get close to the Yang familyâs door. If she got within a mile, she would be kicked out.
At the end of March, Yang Shao and Princess Lujiang got married. The Ninth Princess of Rouran watched the red palanquin being carried out of the palace from the bustling Imperial Street and completely gave up.
In April, Xiao Miaorong left Linhai with Xi Shao and returned to Jiankang City.
Madam Xiao also returned.
Although Xi Shao was in mourning, he still had to hand over all the matters at hand to the newly appointed Pan Zilu before he could leave his post. Just like this, two months had passed.
He then brought the child along with him. Along the way, he could not be too fast or too slow. Just minor illnesses kept coming, and he had to recuperate for half a month on the way.
It was Xi Shao who made the decision to invite the local pediatricist to his side and wait for him along the way. Only then could he rush back to Jiankang in early April. Otherwise, there would have been a delay.
After all, he was a bastard son, and he couldnât let anyone find fault with his filial piety. The string in his head was very tight.
Because of the Xi familyâs filial piety, all entertainment and banquets were exempted. Even if Xiao Baoxin and the others wanted to gather with Xiao Miaorong, they couldnât break the rules and ruin Xiao Miaorongâs reputation. Some of the people who were on good terms with him didnât come to his door and sent letters to him. Xiao Baoxin went to the Xi family to see Xiao Miaorong half a month later.
Because of Imperial Censor Xiao losing his position and suffering a stroke, Xiao Miaorongâs pregnancy was disturbed. After that, she was bedridden for two to three months.
Fortunately, the child was still healthy, but her body was a little weak.
If she hadnât started to recuperate after giving birth to the child, she would have collapsed on the way back to Jiankang.
Even so, when Xiao Baoxin saw Xiao Miaorong again, Xiao Miaorongâs face was still a little yellow. She had lost more than a little weight compared to the year before she left Jiankang, and her face was as thin as a line.
Xiao Baoxinâs eyes turned red as he looked at her:
âHow much have you suffered? Did Xi Sanlang not treat you well? Why are you
so skinny?â
Xiao Miaorong started crying when she saw Xiao Baoxin,
âNo, itâs just that my body is not good.âShe cried as she spoke, and she even burped.
Xiao Baoxin didnât even need to hold Xiao Miaorongâs hand to feel that she was extremely worried.
When he held her hand, Xiao Baoxinâs entire body felt dark.
Xiao Miaorong was either worried about her own health, worried about the child, or blamed herself for causing the fetus to fall sick so easily. In short, she blamed herself.
She was extremely depressed.
She was clearly a heartless and straightforward little lady. How did she become like this after giving birth to a baby?
Xiao Baoxinâs heart ached.â Donât cry. Let me see my niece.ââ
Xiao Miaorong quickly called for the nanny to bring the child over. Xiao Baoxin took a look at the little girl in his arms. She was fair and tender, and her features were delicate, similar to Xiao Miaorong s.
âThis child is six or seven months old, right?â
âSheâs really beautiful.â
âIâve been through a lot.â
Xiao Miaorong started crying again,âYou look better than when I was young.
Xiao Baoxin froze. What did she say wrong? She didnât like hearing that he was better looking than her mother?
Chu Lingzi would definitely like to hear this.
She looked at Nanny eagerly and quickly went over to persuade her.âMrs. Xiao, please donât cry. If Mrs. Xiao said that our little lady is good-looking, then she must be good-looking. The eldest lady was such a beautiful person, she would not lie.â
Xiao Baoxin,âListen, these words are so pleasant to the ear.
âAlso⦠Mrs. Chu envied Mrs. Chu so much. She said that our little lady was obedient, beautiful, and healthy.â
The maid also said with familiarity,â Madamâs body has just recovered. You canât cry. Itâll hurt your body.ââ
How often did he cry?
Xiao Baoxin could tell that this girl was sick.
âThird Aunt, did sister say something wrong?â she asked softly.
Xiao Miaorong shook her head and sobbed, wanting to cry.â! just wanted to⦠If his sister gave birth to him, he would definitely be prettier and healthier.â Xiao Baoxin had a strong urge to nod his head, but the girl was depressed. Now was not the time for her to be blindly confident. If she really gave people more pressure, she would be a sinner.
âHow is your Hezhi not beautiful and healthy? Donât let your imagination run wild. Look at these big, beautiful, and clear eyes. Look at how loud the crying is. Itâs obvious that sheâs healthy. Heâs as strong as a bull after our Xiao family.
Donâtaiways worry.â
Hezhi was the name that Elder Xi had given to him, which made Chu Lingzi envious. Hezhi should be her daughterâs name. Jiao Niang was the name of Xiao Miaorongâs beautiful daughter.
Xiao Baoxin consoled her. She should have known earlier that Xiao Miaorongâs letters to Jiankang had become fewer and fewer as the delivery approached.
At that time, he thought that Xiao Miaorong was worried about raising the child and then taking care of the child, so she didnât have time. Now, it seemed that she was depressed at that time.
âLook, listen, howhealthy.âXiao Baoxin smiled, and was so happy that he touched He Zhiâs little face. This little fellow cried much more readily than her mother, pulling her neck and howling.
âI think Iâm hungry.â The nanny quickly carried him out.
Before Xiao Baoxin could say anything else, Chu Lingzi came over. The Xi family had banned all entertainment and banquets. They were not allowed to go out of the mansion and had to observe filial piety. It was rare for an acquaintance to come to their door. Even if they knew that they were not tactful enough, they would still be thick-skinned to come to find her.
She had already checked the time. It had already been an hour, and she should have finished what she wanted to say. It was time for her to go up and join in the fun.
The moment he entered, he asked Xiao Baoxin,â
âDid you see Kazuki? Pretty, right? They were all from the Xi family, so how could she be so beautiful? Miao Rong was lucky to have found a handsome husband.â
One sentence made Xiao Miaorong laugh. She knew this too well.
Chu Lingzi despised Xi Silangâs face eight times a day and passed it all on to her daughter.
He did not despise his daughter. Even if her daughter did not have her, she was still a victim.
âYou still say that? Didnât Si Lang quarrel with you when he heard it last time? You still donât remember.â
Chu Lingzi shrunk her neck and felt a cold breeze on her back. A man with a small family had to be coaxed by her for half a month. Was it easy for her?
The truth was there, so he couldnât say it.
âWeâre family. If thereâs anything you canât say frankly, you have to listen to good words.âChu Lingzi complained.
She pulled Xiao Baoxinâs hand and did not let go.â You two sisters, don t find me annoying. Itâs rare for me to see someone. Iâm bored to death.â
Chu Lingzi was indeed a lively person. Now that the Xi family was in mourning, if you laughed too much, you would be scolded by the elders. Your every move would be watched, and if you made the slightest mistake, you would be criticized. Not to mention, Chu Lingzi was a very nervous person. She did not dare to let down her guard outside her courtyard, afraid that she would be picked on wrongly. Her mind was tense.
