My Ferocious Tigress Wife

Chapter 664: 664-Brave and Wise

“Then don’t let Baoshu go. It wasn’t easy for him to come back, so no matter how much trouble he causes, he’ll still be under my watch.”Madam Xie had entrusted Xiao Baoshu to Xie Xian.

It was her biological mother. She found it annoying and didn’t want anyone to owe her by her side. In fact, she was the one who wanted to keep people by her side the most.

Xiao Baoxin thought with a bit of a bad taste. He wondered how his mother would feel if she knew that Xiao Baoshu’s ‘act’ was partly Xie Xianzai’s idea. Would her flawless son-in-law suddenly have a flaw?

She didn’t know what was wrong with her today, but she couldn’t talk to her mother about anything.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he knew his mother’s silly and sweet nature, Xiao Baoxin would have suspected that Madam Xie was deliberately testing her intelligence.

“Don’t worry about that, Mother. I heard from Xie Xian that the Emperor hopes that Baoshu will stay in Jiankang. The main reason was that he didn’t want the Eldest Princess to be too far away. With the emperor taking care of him, he was more at ease.”

Madam Xie’s heart was finally at ease. At this moment, she could not help but mutter,

“That Rouran Prince was so stupid. For the sake of Princess Anji, the emperor demoted her to what was it again? His reputation was notorious, yet he still called him a prince. He looked like a dog, yet he made a scene every day because of such a woman. Who in Jiankang City wouldn’t laugh at him? With this brain of his, even if the Rouran King were to change people, it would be impossible to change him. If it were him, Rouran would be even worse off.”

“It’s only two months until October. I can’t even watch my son get married. My heart hurts.”

As he spoke, his heart ached for Sikong Xiao.

She was purely judging others by her own standards. If she did not see her son marry a wife, her intestines would turn green with regret and her tears would collapse the city walls of Jiankang!

Of course, seeing it was also annoying, but not seeing it…It was also frustrating.

###

When they arrived at the Xiao Mansion, Xie Xian and Sikong Xiao closed the door and explained their intentions. As he expected, as long as it was related to Yang Shao, Sikong Xiao was very clear about it.

Anyone could be the governor of Xu Prefecture, but he, Yang Shao, could not!

With Xiao Jing ‘ai, that guy, he wished he could go around the world and talk about his previous life. Yang Shao knew exactly what kind of role he was in his previous life. Sikong Xiao did not believe that he had been an emperor. At least, those who heard that he had been an emperor could still be at ease and be an ordinary official.

Now was not the right time. What if Yang Shao was lucky and stepped on that opportunity? Who could guarantee that Yang Shao did not have the ambition to sit on that seat?

On the surface, it was Lan Ying who killed Xiao Jing ‘ai, but everyone with brains knew that Yang Shao had played a part in this.

He listened to his son-in-law’s analysis, but Second Xiao didn’t believe it. He just saw that Yang Shao was a good person.

In the end, Yang Shao and Xiao Jing ‘ai had been tricked into opening their mouths and indulging in Buddhism all day long. Madam Xiao then went to Linhai to look after Xiao Miaorong. If it wasn’t for him stopping her, Second Xiao would have followed someone into an empty door.

It wasn’t that his heart was dead, but that the matter of Xiao Jing ‘ai possessing Zhong Wuniang’s body after her death had given him a heavy blow, as if he had been enlightened.

It turned out that dying was not as good as extinguishing a lamp. Humans had souls.

If there was a soul, then there would be immortals and Buddhas, right? Then he could cultivate, right?

Xiao Er had a higher goal, and he didn’t care about high officials and high salaries. He wanted to cultivate and attain the Way–he could also go to the Western Paradise. Anyway, he would go wherever he was accepted.

If Sikong Xiao didn’t see Second Master Xiao’s crooked mouth and how pitiful Xiao Jing ‘ai was, he would have torn his bones apart.

He was already in his forties and was addicted to the immortal path. He didn’t even want to go home. Did he think that he was still like Xiao Baoshu? How could he afford to be reckless? Old bones and old flesh, messing around blindly.

Recite the scriptures and worship Buddha. Donate some money and you can become an immortal or Buddha.

There would be no mortals in the world!

However, it was also because Xiao Er was in his forties and had a face and skin. Sikong Xiao could not control him too much. He tied him to a tree and beat him up to wake him up. As a result, his methods were too gentle, and Xiao Er did not take him seriously at all.

If he cared too much, he would be a stumbling block to Xiao Er’s higher pursuit. What could Sikong Xiao do? He vented all his anger on Yang Shao. This wasn’t a good person. He didn’t do a single thing! She married his daughter in her previous life, yet she still dared to fool around with his niece. This person deserved to be taught a lesson.

In her previous life, she had died early and couldn’t deal with him. Her daughter had been bullied.

Now that he was alive, he couldn’t let Yang Shao get what he wanted.

“Alright, my subordinates are all loyal and good at protecting the country. I’ll pick one out and write a memorial to recommend him to the emperor.”

“Father-in-law, please be careful. You can’t tell anyone about this. Once it falls into the ears of a third person, it will be detrimental to both the Xiao and Xie families if it spreads.”Xie Xian softly said.

“Also, this person is not loyal enough. He needs to be resourceful and intelligent.”

Sikong Xiao stroked his beard. He had to think about it carefully. There were many brave people under him. It was not that there were no schemers. Many of his aides had plans. However, he was the one who was both wise and brave.

“There’s no hurry, Father-in-law can slowly study it.”

The two of them were not talkative. After they finished talking about serious matters, they did not say anything else. They immediately changed the battlefield and ate with Xiao Baoxin and her daughter.

It had to be mentioned that Xiao Baoxin could feel the gap. There was no longer the treatment she received when she was pregnant with her first child. She was afraid of knocking on the ground and choking on the water. Now, her mother treated her much more casually. The initial ecstasy had passed. There was no longer the act of sending food and drinks to the Xie family when she was pregnant.

She said that the Xie residence did not lack anything, and even when she went to see her, most of the time, it was because she was hugging Xie Yan. Those few glances at her were considered a reward.

“You’ve been a mother before, so you should know…”

She should know something. She gave birth to the child in a daze and then threw her old son in Rong An Hall. She didn’t know anything!

Right now, Madam Xie’s heart was filled with Xiao Baoshu’s marriage. Every day, she was afraid that her son’s ability to cause trouble would provoke the Emperor and cause the engagement to be annulled.

Xiao Baoxin was too embarrassed to say it. When Madam Xie saw the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng and Xiao Baoshu together, the two of them were so shy that they were boasting about each other. Not to mention angering the Emperor, even if the Emperor used a 40-meter-long machete to destroy the marriage, he would not be able to separate the two of them. They were a match made in heaven.

Madam Xie was much more energetic than before. Xiao Baoshu had returned to Jiankang, and Sikong Xiao was still in the residence. It was better than when she had married someone and all the men of the Xiao family had gone to war.

Madam Xie was left alone to watch over Cai Mingzhu’s patient and worry about her.

Now, these were all sweet troubles. Otherwise, the corners of his mouth wouldn’t curl up as he spoke.

The few of them did not notice Xiao Baoshu. He was locked up in the house by Sikong Xiao to reflect on himself. It was only after lunch that he sent someone to invite him over, but he was gone. He swaggered out of the main door early in the morning.
