My Ferocious Tigress Wife

Chapter 923: Who Could It Be?

Xiao Baoxin didn’t want to get involved in the battle in their harem.

Empress Xiao and Imperial Consort Chu were not good recommendations and had no friendship with her. She could bite them if she wanted to.

She dared to criticize her husband. Even if they had ten lifetimes of friendship, she wouldn’t be able to do it!

Not to mention the Empress Xiao who had long had an old grudge, she could only say that she would quickly get lost.

She did not help Empress Xiao to clear her name, nor did she add insult to injury and side with Imperial Concubine Chu. She took out her hand and found an opportunity to pick up the teacup and sip the tea, not giving anyone the chance to hold it.

The Eldest Princess of Xuancheng could see that Xiao Baoxin’s expression was not good, but she did not know that it was the Empress ‘fault. She stood up and pulled Xiao Baoxin out of the hall:

“This room is too stuffy. Don’t suffocate yourself. Imperial Sister-in-law, I’m going out for a walk with the Eldest Lady. I’ll come back to play with you in a while.”

It was originally a New Year’s Eve banquet, and people came and went. Xiao Baoxin left, and soon someone took his place. The person who was pulled over by Empress Xiao was Twelfth Madam Wang. This person was generous and was praised by the Empress.

Chu Lingzi was a member of the Chu family and naturally did not like the Empress’s ways. Chu Lingzi could not stand Imperial Concubine Chu’s coquettish posture and intonation, so she followed the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng out of the hall.

Not long after, Zu Shi also walked out.

There was also Youmei, who was also a fourth-rank official’s wife. She was qualified to meet the Empress.

She got pregnant not long after she married into Ancestral Dragon Wang’s residence. Now, she was already seven months pregnant, and her stomach was as big as a small pot.

Although she was an official’s wife, when did she still address herself as a servant in front of Xiao Baoxin? It was not that she did not listen to Xiao Baoxin’s correction, but sometimes she just called out without thinking.

Usually, as long as Xiao Baoxin was around, she would definitely stand at the side with a big belly and act as if she was a servant. She was very arrogant, as if she would kill anyone who refused to obey her wife.

She was pregnant and had been taught a few lessons by the midwife and nanny that Xiao Baoxin had found for her. She knew to slow down. Otherwise, when Xiao Baoxin came out of the hall, she would have jumped out immediately.

In front of a group of madams, she was still the one standing there in a daze, but she did not have the slightest sense of arrogance.

“Sit down. You’re pregnant now. We’re already so familiar with each other.”Chu Lingzi couldn’t help but laugh.” You call yourself a proper official’s wife? Don’t act like we’re bullying you. You’re so aggrieved.””

“I don’t feel wronged.” Youmei was a simple-minded person. When someone asked her to sit, she would sit without reservation.

“She’ll be giving birth in two months, right?” Zu Shi smiled. Didn’t you ask that godly hand of the Xie family to touch it?”

“He said it was a boy.” Youmei didn’t hide it and told anyone who asked.

“Noble Consort…It seems to have one too.” Zu Shi asked Chu Lingzi softly.

That was why Imperial Consort Chu had accused Empress Xiao of being unhappy on the spot. It was true that Empress Xiao had been quite unhappy these days.

It wasn’t that she wasn’t favored. After the Celestial Empress reconciled, the Emperor had indeed changed and went to the Jiaofang Palace quite often, but she just couldn’t get pregnant. He had been scratching his heart and liver day and night until he was almost possessed. He had also eaten a lot of folk prescriptions, and the imperial doctor who had recuperated his body had also said that there was no problem.

She just couldn’t get pregnant!

At this time, Noble Consort Chu was pregnant again, so how could she let Empress Xiao sleep?

If Madam Chu gave birth to another son, would there still be a place for Empress Xiao to settle down in the harem?

Chu Lingzi was impatient to get involved with the palace, even if Noble Consort Chu was a member of the family. However, she was old and knew not to make things difficult for her own family in front of others.

“Yeah, I heard it’s more than three months.”

“It’s also a joyous occasion.” Zu Shi said.

Xiao Baoxin disagreed. Empress Xiao was clearly not going to let Imperial Concubine Chu’s family monopolize power. She kept coming up with one vicious plan after another. However, it had not been long since the Emperor and Empress had repaired their relationship, so she did not dare to act rashly and destroy the fragile harmonious relationship that could be broken at any moment.

The conversation stopped there. It was even more inappropriate to talk about this in the palace. After a few words, the topic was diverted.

The palace banquet ended in the evening.

Mother Xie had shut herself in a few years ago and did not attend any banquets. Xiao Baoxin, Madam Wang, and Twelfth Madam Wang took a carriage back to the Xie residence.

The Empress ‘banquet would end early, but it was hard to say if the men were in the previous dynasty. It wasn’t as if Emperor Yu Heng had never stayed up all night. However, Emperor Yong Ping was not good at drinking, and he was someone who could scare himself to death with the slightest movement of the wind. He usually would not be late.

Xiao Baoxin finished washing up and had just played the gong and drum for the first watch.

Although Xie Xian had told her not to wait and to go to bed first, she still asked the nanny to bring the twins over. She played with her daughter while waiting for Xie Xian.

The twins were going to be two years old in a month. They were so cute and cute, especially with Cheng Niang’s mouth. Although her pronunciation was not standard, no one could stop her from talking. She was a veritable chatterbox.

Because of Mother Jin’s innate skill, the words that came out from time to time made the people around her feel quite terrified.

Fortunately, with Xie Xianshan around, the people serving the twins were all loyal and loyal. No matter how strange it was, no one dared to say a word.

Mu Jin was someone who knew what was going on. She had been by Xiao Baoxin’s side and had never married. She was not married earlier than the other sisters. She had witnessed all kinds of miracles of Mother Jin with her own eyes. Thinking back to Xiao Baoxin over the years, she probably knew what was going on. However, she kept her mouth shut like a sawed gourd and did not mention anything.

Originally, Hibiscus had offended Mother Jin’s handwriting, so she should have changed her name. However, Xiao Baoxin was bent on finding a good family for Hibiscus to marry into. He thought that he wouldn’t be able to stay by her side for long anyway, so he didn’t let her change her name.

However, after picking for a long time, he still could not pick out the name, so the name was delayed.

The servants also sensibly called out to Sister Mu. She could bear the responsibility at her age. She was already twenty-two years old and was considered an old maid.

Today, Hibiscus took advantage of the past to bring up the matter again.”It’s not good for a servant girl to offend Little Master’s name. Why don’t Furen change it when you have time? This servant is already twenty-three years old. It seems that this servant has no marriage in this life. If Furen trusts this servant, then let this servant wait by Furen’s side.”

Xiao Baoxin pondered for a while.

“What do you think of General Jin?”

Hibiscus was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly,”

“I’m afraid that General Jin has someone in his heart…”

Xiao Baoxin was stunned. If he asked Mu Jin again, he would shut his mouth and not say another word.

“It’s not that this servant doesn’t want to tell Furen, but there is still a third person in this matter.”

One sentence had piqued Xiao Baoxin’s curiosity. Who could it be?

Other than following Xie Xian in and out, Jin Jin would spend most of his time in the Xie residence. Jin Jin would not stop even if Xie Xian wanted to rest. He would eat, drink, and enjoy himself in the Xie residence.

There was only one person, so which one did he like?

Just as he was pondering, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps coming from the veranda. Liu Yun panted as he called out from outside the door,””Madam!”
