My Ferocious Tigress Wife

Chapter 972: Chapter 972-Taking It for Yourself

Xie Xian had once told her that the Jiang family might just be a chess piece.

They would use Xiao Baoshu to help Xiao Baoshan gain support and suppress the powers of the various clans in Jiang Prefecture.

At that time, Xiao Baoshu was in the limelight. He married the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng and became the Prince Consort. He was also highly regarded by Emperor Yong Ping. To be able to turn Jiankang City upside down and retreat unscathed, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a vajra.

On the other hand, although Xiao Baoshan had Sikong Xiao’s support, he had a lukewarm personality. He did not have any strange plans or a resolute attitude. He might have made a lot of big and small traps in Jiang Prefecture.

He wanted to borrow Xiao Baoshu’s reckless strength to deal with the Jiang Prefecture’s aristocratic families, but who would have thought that the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng would also follow.

It was just that he did not know if this male and female duo’s drive had gone too far, or if Xiao Baoshan was putting on a show and had the potential to fly into a rage out of humiliation.

..

Xie Xian didn’t like to drink, and rarely had the occasion to make him drink. Xiao Baoshan returned from Jiangzhou, and he gave him enough face. His uncle drank a pot of wine for the entire afternoon, and he was also at ease.

The men were drinking in the hall while Xiao Baoxin and Cai Mingzhu stayed in the inner room.

Although Xie Yan was younger than Xiao An by two years, he had been reborn as an emperor in his previous life, and he had been personally taught by Xie Xian all these years. He had only been seven years old not long ago, but he was both civil and military, and his bearing was extraordinary. In just two or three moves, he had subdued Xiao An, and he actually followed his lead.

Lady Jing would be thirteen in two months. With Cai Mingzhu, her mother, who was born in a prestigious family, teaching her, she was still very graceful.

When she was young, she still looked 70% like her biological mother. The older she got, the closer she got to Xiao Baoshan’s face. She was not considered a 10% beauty. Based on her temperament, she was only 50% or 60%. Fortunately, she was gentle and demure, and her personality was very good.

Mama Jing was playing with the twins. Xiao Pingbei was only two years old. When he was tired, he would sleep in the next room with Nanny watching over him. Xiao Baoxin and Cai Mingzhu were free to drink tea and chat in the room.

“.. I saw that my brother and sister-in-law were very affectionate.”

Cai Mingzhu was no longer as arrogant as before. She was already over 30 years old, and no matter how well she took care of herself, there were still faint fine lines at the corners of her eyes. Usually, it was fine, but when she smiled, it was even more obvious.

The calm aura around him looked much gentler.

“I’m old and can’t afford to do anything.”She smiled. “It’s just that there’s no reason for you to say this when someone is talking about you. If you want to talk about a good relationship, who can be better than you and your brother-in-law?”

“Brother-in-law’s love for you is something that everyone in Liang knows.”

Xiao Baoxin touched his sideburns and could not help but smile.

That was true.

“Sister-in-law looks gentle and magnanimous, but her mouth is unforgiving.”

“It’s not that I’m unforgiving, it’s just that I’m envious.” “You don’t know how many people in the court envy you.” Cai Mingzhu sighed. Look, you’ve only been married for a few years, but you’ve almost given birth to all the children of many people.”

Xiao Baoxin thought,”I thought you were praising me, but in the end, you just stabbed me in the heart.”

“You think I’m willing?” Was she suffering?

“What are you saying?” Cai Mingzhu rolled her eyes at her.

Ever since Cai Mingzhu almost lost her life when she returned to Jiankang from Jingling, the Xiao family had done their best to protect her. Cai Mingzhu seemed to have changed into a different person and treated her wholeheartedly. The two sisters-in-law, on the other hand, did not lie. At this moment, they rolled their eyes at her rudely.

“Don’t tell anyone outside. It’ll make people jealous.”

After saying that, she couldn’t help but laugh and sigh.”It’s really a drought that kills people, and a flood that kills people.”

“My sister-in-law isn’t the best. I have two sons and one daughter.”

“You have two children.”Cai Mingzhu smiled.” You’re still making a detour.”

The new one was the one who turned the corner, right?

Xiao Baoxin sighed deeply. Everyone said that she was born beautiful and would lose weight after giving birth. Only she knew that it was harder to maintain each pregnancy. Did he think that she was a martial arts fanatic who practiced kung fu for four hours a day? Didn’t she not want to get fat? Just like that, her waist could not return to the time when she was a girl. It had grown by a full size.

“You, don’t say that.”Cai Mingzhu patted her hand.

However, he was really happy for his sister-in-law. Who would have thought that Xie Xian, that sickly person, who wished that there would be no tomorrow, would actually endure until he had many children. The more he lived, the more energetic he became. He had a high position and power, and his body was strong and strong.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he was afraid of harming his daughter, with his looks and background, wouldn’t he be throwing himself at her?

No matter what he planned, if he really fell into the hands of someone who was blind, his sister-in-law would not be here today.

This was the fate of marriage in his previous life. Others really could not compare to it.

Xiao Baoxin ‘listened’ without saying anything.

Cai Mingzhu continued to say,” I have to thank my brother-in-law for his efforts when I returned to Jiankang. It’s not that your brother and I are belittling ourselves, but there are many talents in Jiankang City. If we really talk about real talent and learning, I’m afraid that he might not be able to take the position of servant.””

” This is not the case with the ” Xiao Baoxin shook his head.” I heard from Xuanhui that Brother’s achievements in Jiang Prefecture these years are not bad.”

“Brother, you have been training in Jiang Prefecture all these years. How can you compare with the past?”

Cai Mingzhu pursed her lips and smiled.”

Xiao Baoxin raised his eyebrows and did not comment. If the two of them were to talk about pleasantries, they could talk for half a year.

It would be hypocritical to be overly modest.

The two sisters-in-law brought up Xiao Baoshu again and dragged their family to Jiangzhou. It could be considered that they had returned to their old place.

When the transfer order came down, it caused quite a commotion in Jiang Prefecture. However, Xie Xian had been famous for these years and had real power in his hands, so no one dared to object.

However, after four to five years in office, the next person to come down was a brother of the same clan and father. Was he trying to take Jiang Prefecture into the Xiao family’s pocket?

Xiao Baoshan was also worried that someone would make things difficult for his brother, so he stayed in Jiang Prefecture for more than half a month. He personally explained to Xiao Baoshu about the complicated relationships in Jiang Prefecture. In addition, Sikong Xiao had brought the Xie family subordinates to Jiang Prefecture, and Xiao Baoshan had also left most of them for Xiao Baoshu. These people had been with him in Jiang Prefecture for many years, so he knew them well. With them helping Xiao Baoshu, he could also be at ease as an elder brother.

“My brother is in Jiangzhou. He must have been tripped up by many people.”

“Of course.” Cai Mingzhu sighed.

“I told your brother that you can’t hide it from your brother-in-law by pulling a tiger’s skin and pulling a big flag.”

The two sisters-in-law looked at each other. Cai Mingzhu secretly heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. As expected, it was the right thing to say. From her expression, she knew that Xiao Baoxin was well aware of her mute Zen and was not surprised at all.

She knew her sister-in-law well. She was brash and domineering, but she did not mind. It was best to be straightforward with her.

Although Xiao Baoxin and Xiao Baoshu beat each other up when they met, they missed each other even when they didn’t see each other. They were the two people who recognized each other the most.

After scheming against Xiao Baoshu, the one who was most angry was probably his biological sister, Xiao Baoxin. This person was very protective of her child. Although she was merciless, she would not allow anyone to bully Xiao Baoshu. She would be the first to charge forward.
