My Ferocious Tigress Wife

Chapter 10

After applying the fragrant powder, Xiao Baoxin felt extremely happy.

Her skin was beautiful and she smelled good.

“Pass down the order, those in our courtyard should not go out often these days. If there’s nothing to do, just stay at home.” She said, “This matter with the Cai family isn’t over yet and there might be more to settle. My mother will definitely be in a bad mood, so all of you should stay away from her.”

There was nothing to criticize about her mother, except that she cared too much about other people’s opinions. She was a classic example of someone who cared too much about their face and suffered hardships. Once in a bad mood, she would start to implement and rectify rules in the Xiao Residence. She would pick on anything and modify everything that could be changed. In a year, the residence would have to be reorganized every three to five months.

Now that the Cai family made a huge commotion, it would definitely not end well.

Xiao Baoshan fought so hard for a divorce, and behaved in such a troublesome manner—from this, it could be seen that he indeed was related to Xiao Baoshu. His troublesome behavior did not lose out to Xiao Baoshu’s. In the past, he had been following the rules for more than twenty years, but at an unknown time, he started to create so much trouble.

She had already told him clearly that the matter would damage his official title, yet he still dared to make a ruckus in front of the Cai family. She didn’t know if it was better to say that he had backbone or that he didn’t have a brain. At the very least, he should take advantage of the situation and not let anyone find fault with him. nove(l)bi(n.)com

However, he was bent on sticking up for his son.

He did not even consider how Madam Cai was his officially married wife, who was currently pregnant. If the other party claimed that she had only accidentally touched the mistress and did not intentionally push her, what would he do then?

After pinning Madam Cai to the pillar of shame, he even wanted to accuse her of murder. Wouldn’t the entire Xiao family and Cai family become the laughing stock of Jiankang City?

Where was his brain?

Although her father called himself a boorish man, he was invincible in every battle. He was also a master of trickery on the battlefield. Why didn’t Xiao Baoshan learn anything from him?

Even if they had fallen out, they should not tear themselves apart!

“That Cai family has gone too far,” Cai Wei muttered in a low voice. Such a girl with a bit of martial arts skills was always so righteous. “I heard that they had beaten him up the moment they entered the house. They beat him up twice and even caused his head to swell into a pig’s head.”

Xiao Baoxin snorted. “These sons of aristocratic families have always looked down on others. If I were there, I would definitely beat him up until his mother doesn’t recognize him!”

The guards of the Xiao family were all experts that her father had picked out from the army. If they really attacked a descendant of an aristocratic family, others would inevitably say that they were insolent. But if it was her, she definitely had a good reason to do so—couldn’t she protect her elder brother?

“There’s no need for our Miss to do anything. This servant will take care of it on Miss’ behalf!” You Mei was a straightforward person and followed her Miss’ lead.

“All of you better stop causing trouble for Miss.”

At this time, Tang Li came out after making the bed. She could not help but feel a headache when she heard You Mei’s strong words. You Mei was extraordinarily strong, so she was really afraid that someone would die.

“Miss, Mu Jin is back.”

Knowing what her Miss was concerned about, Tang Li immediately reported it to Xiao Baoxin.

Sure enough, her Miss’ eyes lit up and looked as bright as the stars in the night sky.

“Quick, call her in.”

Before she could finish her sentence, Mu Jin entered the room through the curtain. Although she had changed back into a female outfit, she had not had time to wash up. She looked like she had aged a year even though she had only been gone for a day.

“Did you see or hear anything?” Xiao Baoxin hurriedly asked.

As soon as she asked, Mu Jin’s face turned black. “Miss, I’m not going anymore… It’s so embarrassing!”

The person in question was embarrassed, but the onlookers listened obediently and could sense some gossip.

“What’s wrong?” The three of them looked at Mu Jin.

Cai Wei couldn’t wait any longer. “Tell us, Mu Jin. Miss has been waiting for you for a day. Don’t keep us in suspense.”

Scram! How was she keeping them in suspense? She was just finding it hard to speak!

Mu Jin gritted her teeth. She knew the reputation of the Young Master of the Yuan family, and she had been mentally prepared when she followed him. However, she had never expected that something she could never have imagined would happen right before her eyes.

She had gone there to catch that woman—

However, not just men and women, or even men and men, but the problem was that men and women were mixed together. One moment they were running naked, the next they were laughing maniacally. She had even thought that she had seen ghosts, alright!

They were basically dancing wildly all together!

She still remembered Young Master Yuan’s words as he ran out of the alley in an open red robe. If it wasn’t for the fact that one of them was still sober and had grabbed him by the waist and carried him back, he might have run off somewhere and might even become well-known for that!

Mu Jin was overwhelmed with regret as she tried to recall what she saw.

However, the people watching the show felt differently. Cai Wei’s face was full of interest. She was clearly looking forward to a good show. It was only later that she realized that her expression might have been too bright. After all, he was her Miss’ future husband. She turned around and stole a glance at Xiao Baoxin. Indeed, she saw that beautiful face scrunched up into a ball, and had almost bit her teeth into pieces.

“Miss—”

“What a waste of such a good opportunity!” Xiao Baoxin lamented bitterly. If not for the hindrance caused by Madam Cai’s crying and Xiao Baoshu’s subsequent troublemaking antics, what a good opportunity it would be for her to catch him. By then, would she still have to worry about not being able to cancel the engagement?

Speaking of Yuan Chen, she was filled with anger.

It was only an engagement. Since the engagement three years ago, he had been sending some things to the Xiao Residence from time to time. Most of them were ointments, hairpins, and fans. They were all delivered openly through the Xiao Residence, making it difficult for her to return them even if she wanted to.

Especially after the wedding date was set this year, his actions became even worse. Not only did he give her a gift, he even secretly put a poem in the jewelry box.

What was disgusting was that when this poem landed in her hands, it basically spread throughout the entire Jiankang City.

Yuan Chen was self-indulgent and fluent. He excelled in literature, went on trips to write poems, and wrote a poem even when he stepped on dog shit. When he ate well, he wrote a poem. When he drank well, he also wrote a poem. In short, there was nothing he couldn’t write. There was nothing he couldn’t express.

He could write poems according to three meals a day, even the couplets sold on the streets were not as abundant as his poems…

As for the quality, it depended on one’s understanding.

This was the kind of person who was cultured and fluent, who also completely disregarded her repeated rejections and forcefully made himself look like a lovesick person. Even her mother thought that she was blessed and did not know how to appreciate it. Was there anything more disgusting than this?

… Well, there really was.

It was unknown where the emotions of some young ladies came from, but they were envious, jealous, and hated her. They all targeted her in all sorts of ways, believing that she loved being in the limelight and that she had used manipulative tricks to play such a handsome talented young man into her hands…

Did they have eyes? He was obviously the one who had played her like a fool!

He would do whatever he wanted, then pretend to be a great person. Even if he had ignored her and messed around outside, she would not have despised him so much!

“Mu Jin, can you find out when they’re going to meet again?!” Xiao Baoxin gritted her teeth. If she couldn’t get rid of his hypocritical skin, she would take his surname!
