My Ferocious Tigress Wife

Chapter 978: Shrinking into a Quail



She was too much of a follower of Xiao Baoxin. She was such a young lady, and she had been a beauty since she was young.

There was nothing wrong with that, but even the handwriting was exactly the same.

Of course, the Zu family was well aware of the inside story. Xie Xian and Xiao Baoxin were not the kind of people who would spoil their children. Xiao Baoxin did not hesitate when he attacked. Putting aside the twin daughters, physical punishment had become a habit. One horse stance could last for an hour. Other than Xie Wei, who was less than three years old, which of the boys in the family had not let Xiao Baoxin attack before?

Xie Xian was a strict father who treated everyone equally. It was said that no matter who made a mistake, they would be punished with large characters. The older ones would be punished with large characters, and the younger ones would not be able to escape punishment.

However, with such a two-pronged approach, all the sons were well managed. Only the twins were beaten up. After beating them up outside, they would be punished when they returned home.

Zu shi couldn’t say anything. Her son was one year older than her, but she couldn’t even beat him. How could she have the face to settle scores with him?

It wasn’t that he didn’t know what Xiao Baoxin was like when they were engaged.

A daughter followed her mother. No one could do anything about it.

It was too late to break off the engagement now. On one hand, he couldn’t bear the anger of the Xie family. On the other hand, his son was really amazing. He was willing to get close to others even when he was beaten. He was a person who remembered to eat but didn’t remember to be beaten. He followed the twins around like a little lackey. If it weren’t for the fact that the twins were very good at fighting, the battle would have basically ended before he could get the chance to fight. If he wasn’t given the chance to fight, he would probably be the one to be complained about every time.

..

“Cheng Niang, wait for me.” He was already a seven-year-old boy, but he was not shy at all when chasing after his little lady. He knew that the little beauty was his future wife when he was four.

When the little lady in purple, who was walking leisurely at the side, saw that Lu Xiaolang was about to speed up and run forward, she raised her leg and gave him a big trip.

The Zu family could hear the clang from far away.

“I’m the one who’s the Cheng Niang!” Xie Cheng proudly raised her head and walked away.” You still call me ‘wife’? You can even mistake me for someone else!””

Lu Xiaolang was flabbergasted. Ignoring the pain in his legs, he followed behind.”Aren’t you wearing a hairpin on your left?”

“I’m on the right! Left and right!” “You can’t even tell left from right!” Don’t tell me you know me!”

Zu Shi covered her face. This was her son’s only flaw. He couldn’t differentiate between right and left, but she didn’t expect him to be exposed to the public since he was young. She turned her head away and did not want to look at the two children anymore. It was so frustrating.

Xiao Baoxin was surrounded by the stars and sat in the middle with a smile like the spring breeze. He allowed the madams of the various manors to inquire openly and secretly, but they did not reveal a single word.

“I don’t know about the matters in the court.”His attitude was amiable.

Zu shi thought to herself, Just like the old lady of the Xie family.

All these years, Xiao Baoxin had been learning a lot from the Xie family’s Great Madam. The old lady had learned her martial arts, and she had learned the old lady’s Tai Chi.

“Have you heard Madam Xiao mention it before? Aren’t you in-laws? Didn’t she tell you anything?”

Zu shi smiled.” This is an official matter. How can you ask blindly?” Don’t you know how the Xu family’s minister lost his official position?”

The lady who asked the question laughed dryly. How did she lose it? Xie Xian had cleared it up. What else could it be?

The year before last, he drank too much and revealed the personnel arrangement. As a result, he was demoted. Now, he was wearing the title of Golden Purple Light Doctor, but in fact, he was completely squeezed out of the center of power.

Physician Xu had always had many differences with Xie Xian in terms of employment. He believed that he would not collude with Xie Xian and use favoritism. This move was undoubtedly a blow to Xie Xian’s ambition. The appointment of personnel was just a small assistant minister position. Which person did not have a few good friends? Which person did not communicate with each other?

Xie Xian’s action was clearly to take the opportunity to get rid of him. The successor of the Minister of Personnel Affairs was Zhuge Fu, who stayed in Jiankang. He was the father-in-law of Xie Xian’s biological sister and was a hardcore Xie faction. He married the eldest wife of Xie Xian’s third wife. No matter what, they were not from the same mother. They were naturally not as close as the Zhuge family!

At one point in time, Doctor Xu was scolding Xie Xian from head to toe, as if he was going to shed all pretense of cordiality.

After all, he was an assistant minister appointed by the late emperor’s posthumous edict!

How could he tolerate being kicked out of the center of power so unscrupulously?!

However, it was just a temporary rumor. Everyone knew that this was not the time to fall out with the Xie family. At the Third Madam Wang’s birthday banquet, not only did Physician Xu bring along Eldest Madam Xie, but the Xu Family’s head, Old Master Xu, also brought along his Second Madam. They had a very close family stance, which undoubtedly verified everyone’s guess that the Xu Family had compromised with the Xie Family.

The Lu family and the Xie family were in-laws, and the Zu family and Xiao Baoxin had always been on good terms. What others could not find out, perhaps the Zu family would get wind of it.

Even if the Zu Clan knew something, they wouldn’t risk offending the Xie Clan by gossiping about it.

She had a big mouth, loved to join in the fun, and loved to gossip, but she knew who she could offend and who she could not. She knew what she should say.

He wasn’t stupid.

“.. I heard that your Little Eighth is engaged. Which family’s little lady?”The Zu family’s topic of conversation went further and further away as they let go of themselves.

“Yang family. The Yang family has a young lady who is two years older than my family’s Sixth Mother. She is also a good one. Don’t you still have a young man who hasn’t been engaged? Do you want to look at each other?”

Zu shi’s eyes lit up. For the sake of her son’s marriage, she had been so worried that her head turned white. “Sure, we’ll have to take a good look.”

The two of them started chatting about their daily affairs.

Xiao Baoxin handled the entire scene with ease, but he did not reveal any news of the appointment or dismissal of personnel.

A few days later, the candidate for Yizhou’s governor was chosen. It was the Pan family’s Huang family assistant minister, Pan Po.

At that time, the Pan family exploded. No one would have thought that such a good thing would happen to the Pan family. Even though the emperor’s mother’s surname was Pan, not everyone could be a provincial governor.

It wasn’t as if the Pan family had never had an emperor before. Emperor Yuheng was one of them. His mother’s surname was Pan, and she had taken care of the Pan family many times. However, that was the best she could do. After all, a provincial governor was prepared for the royal family and aristocratic families. The Pan family didn’t dare to dream of it.

Even though Empress Dowager Xiao had two elder brothers, she had used all her tricks and methods to stop here. She did not even enter Jiankang City. That was a century-old aristocratic family, the Empress Dowager’s maiden family.

Pan Shuo beat the gong and went to Xie Xian to thank him, knowing who had done it.

It could be said that the rise of the Pan Clan began with the Pan Clan’s Grand Empress Dowager, but the one who used the true power was Xie Xian. Whether it was Pan Po or Pan Zilu, they were both recommended by Xie Xian to Emperor Yu Heng back then, and they had the grace of knowing him.

Pan Shuo did not think that it was the Pan family’s imperial concubine that had contributed to the emergence of the new governor. That person was clearly destined to be a tyrant in the palace, but he still lived a cautious life, afraid of making a mistake. He could not count on the master who had shrunk into a quail.
