My Ferocious Tigress Wife

Chapter 748: You Can’t Have Both Worlds in the World

Translator: 549690339 |

Chu Lingzi gave birth to a daughter safely on the third day of February.

It was supposed to be a joyous occasion, but the death of the old Chief Justice Xi and the mourning of the Xi family made the birth of this child a bit inappropriate. He didn’t even do anything and quietly went over.

When Xiao Baoxin went to pay his respects to Elder Xi, he went to the fourth room to visit Chu Lingzi, who was still in confinement.

Her complexion was ruddy and she was in good spirits. Although the Xi family was holding a funeral, they did not neglect Chu Lingzi, who was in confinement. She had everything she needed. Even the baby’s food was not red, but plain.

“I’m relieved to see you.” Xiao Baoxin sat on the edge of the bed and let out a long sigh.

“Seventh Madame and Fifteenth Madame miss you, but with the Xi family’s situation, it’s not good for us to rush over. We’re not here to see you, but to cause you trouble.”

Chu Lingzi wasn’t in high spirits.” I’m not so assured.”

Then, she lowered her voice as if she did not want anyone to hear her.

Xiao Baoxin thought that she was talking about something important and quickly moved his head over. He heard Chu Lingzi’s hot breath blowing by his ear.

“.. Jiao Niang still looks a little ugly to me.”The most uncomfortable thing was that her name was called Jiao Niang. If she didn’t look like her when she grew up, would she be laughed at?

It was like someone who was not beautiful had a beautiful name.

However, this name was given to him by the late Master Xi. He couldn’t change it even if he wanted to. He really didn’t know how to look like.

Xiao Baoxin was also speechless.

“I can’t say it. If I hear it, Silang will be angry again.”Chu Lingzi complained. Xi Silang might be ugly, but he didn’t like it when people called him ugly. He hated it when people called his daughter ugly.

“What do you think?” Chu Lingzi asked. She quickly asked the nanny to carry the newborn Xi Jiaoniang out.

Other people were showing off their daughters, but Nanny could tell.

“Little miss is still asleep.”

Chu Lingzi nodded. She was just worried that her daughter was ugly. She was not a vicious stepmother who wanted to torment her child. Naturally, she would listen to her good advice.

“Anyway, you can see it in the future.”

What can I say about the pregnant woman?

Xiao Baoxin could only comfort him,”It’ll be fine when you grow up. With your looks, even if I take after you a little, it’s enough.”

Chu Lingzi still had her brains. She wasn’t that beautiful.

And even if what Xiao Baoxin said was true, didn’t that have to have that ‘even if’ as the premise? Was he really like her?

You married into the Xie family and lived with cousin for a long time. You’re getting better at lying.”

“However, it’s a good thing that our Chu family and Xi family have the strength to do so. If she wasn’t that good-looking, she wouldn’t be afraid of not being able to get married. With his family background, he would develop his inner show in the future.”

Then, he said,

“Look at the young ladies of the Xi family. Aren’t they all married well?”

Nanny Xi, who was taking care of Xi Jiaoniang next door, said,” I didn’t hear or see anything. Don’t ask me anything!

Xiao Baoxin rolled his eyes at Chu Lingzi. Stop complaining. What’s wrong with Xi Silang? Xuan Hui had always praised people with good character and talent. People can’t have everything at once. You have to have good looks, a good family background, and a good character. Do you think everyone is Xie Xian?”

Chu Lingzi was clearly consoled, but she felt like she had been struck by another blow.

This was the words of a man who could have both worlds. He told her that there was no such thing as having both worlds!

“Look at those silkpants. They only know how to talk and talk. Some are good-looking but rotten on the inside. Some are even so rotten on the inside.”

“Look at Yuan Balang of the Yuan family. He’s good-looking and talented.”

Now, he had become a rat on the street that everyone hated.

Chu Lingzi nodded subconsciously and bowed to Xiao Baoxin’s evil forces.”You’re right. You’re right.”

“I was just saying.”

“Alright, don’t talk nonsense. After all, you’re married into the Xi family. You can only say good things.”Xiao Baoxin reminded.

“That’s right, only you.” In front of outsiders, I always praise the Xi family like a flower. I can even go against my conscience and praise my Silang for his handsome appearance and imposing manner. Think about it?”

This strength was indeed strong enough.

Xiao Baoxin couldn’t help but laugh. The two sisters chatted for a while more before she got up and left.

She had come with Xie Xian to offer her condolences to the Xi family. She had greeted the First Madam of the Xi family’s eldest branch and came to the backyard of the fourth branch. She couldn’t always stay here. If people saw her, they would criticize her.

Actually, it didn’t matter if he said she was his relative. He didn’t need to see her day and night.

However, Chu Lingzi was still a member of the Xi family. He couldn’t make things difficult for her.

Moreover, there had to be some form of mourning, or at least some etiquette.

Xiao Baoxin returned to Changli and chatted with Lady Gu of the Xi family’s main branch for a while. Then, he heard the message from the main branch that Emperor Yongping had personally come to Xi Manor to offer his condolences.

The Xi family immediately became busy. Madam Gu pulled Xiao Baoxin along to pay her respects to the Emperor. Xie Xian was bound to see the Emperor in the front hall, so it was reasonable to bring Xiao Baoxin along. Xiao Baoxin also followed suit.

Emperor Yong Ping was dressed in plain clothes, like a young master of an aristocratic family. There were more than a hundred Royal Forest Guards outside the residence, and more than ten people followed into the residence. There were also two generals on the left and right sides. Xiao Baoshu and Yang Shao were guards.

When Xiao Baoxin saw this configuration, the corners of his mouth twitched.

It wasn’t that she hadn’t heard Xie Xian mention that Emperor Yong Ping had been exceptionally cautious ever since he fell into the lake at Swallow Lake. She only thought of it as…He was just being cautious.

But this was too much.

How afraid of death was he? Did he really think that the Xi family would ambush him and kill him?

With this attitude, she would believe that they were here to wipe out the Xi family.

Xiao Baoshu followed behind Emperor Yong Ping and winked at Xiao Baoxin, afraid that his sister was not looking at him.

However, Yang Shao, who was beside her, looked at where she was and quickly averted his gaze. He turned around and nodded at Xie Xian.

After meeting Emperor Yong Ping, Xiao Baoxin and Xie Xian bid farewell to the main family. They did not stay and returned to the Xie residence.

Both Xiao Baoxin and Xie Xian didn’t take Pan Shuo’s words about being careful of Yang Shao to heart and forgot about it as soon as they turned around.

It was already in their hearts. No one could not bear a grudge.

Whether it was Yang Shao who had become the Emperor in his previous life, Yang Shao who Xie Xian had brought to the Imperial Court in this life, and Yang Shao whose future had been blocked by Xie Xian many times, or Xie Xian who had married Yang Shao in his previous life and would not let Yang Shao do whatever he wanted.

To be able to not become enemies, the two of them could be considered to have restrained themselves. They still remembered the friendship between the two of them and their recognition of each other’s talents.

What surprised Xiao Baoxin was that the ninth princess of Rouran, who had been rejected by Zhuge Shu several times, actually took a fancy to Yang Shao.
