My Ferocious Tigress Wife-Chapter 9

Chapter 9

It was the most frightening when there was a sudden silence.

Second Young Master Cai’s movements stopped for a moment. Xiao Baoshan took advantage of this time to quickly crawl away with his hands and feet. There was blood at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were bruised.

“It’s Madam Cai! She pushed Lü Liu! She killed my son! Why don’t you find out the truth before hitting me?! What do you take the Xiao family for?!”

Originally, Xiao Baoshan was still worried about the two brothers-in-law from the Cai family, but after being beaten up by the Second Young Master without any explanation, he became agitated and started cursing angrily.

Eldest Young Master Cai felt a headache.

He was wondering why his second brother was suddenly so emotional. When he heard the words from the servant sent back by his half-sister, he was so angry that he almost jumped three feet into the air. It turned out that he did not hear the full story and had mixed it up.

However, he continued, “It’s not about whether the Cai Family treats the Xiao Family as anything, but that the Xiao Family takes us seriously. Back then, the Xiao Family carried Mingzhu back with a sedan chair and promised that you would never leave Mingzhu for the rest of your life. Why? Mingzhu is pregnant, yet you’re keeping someone outside, forcing her into a corner and not daring to return home?”

“Xiao Baoshan, let me ask you. What do you take my Cai family for? Do you think you can treat us as you please?” Eldest Young Master Cai raised his brows lightly, extremely puzzled.

“What? I’m going to beat you up! You’re asking for a beating!” When the Second Young Master heard that his elder brother was backing him up, he became even more lawless.

“How am I asking for a beating? You guys came in and beat me up without saying anything?!” Xiao Baoshan was initially scared out of his wits but after being beaten up by Second Young Master Cai, he felt so much anger rising that he lost his mind.

He wanted to give a proper explanation, but the other party didn’t give him a chance and immediately came up with punches.

“You guys are too much! I want to report to the Emperor and let him judge!”

Does he still have any shame? He even dared to mention such ugly sight to the Emperor. Was it not enough for the aristocratic families to laugh at their ‘fake family status’? Madam Xie was speechless.

The eldest son of the Cai family was also speechless. He was a refined man with status and power. He had never relied on anyone else to solve his problem.

However, the Second Master was not forgiving. He had been making bad company since he was young, and had been led astray. He would not let someone off when he could use his fists… Bringing him out would only affect his image.

As for his half-sister, the family rules had been very strict since she was young. A man and a woman would sit at different seats when they were seven years old, and when they were older, they would even have fewer opportunities to meet. Moreover, his family had many siblings, so many that they could line up around the walls of his residence. They might not even know each other when they met, let alone talk about their relationship and his unjust feelings for her.

The reason why he and Second Young Master Cai had come to the Xiao Family to regain their dignity was none other than for the family’s reputation.

If they couldn’t even protect their own sister, how could they be worthy of being called an aristocratic family?

Are you kidding me?

“The eldest son of the Xiao family is actually infuriated because of a beauty…”

“A crown? Is he even worthy of wearing a crown?” Second Young Master Cai was drunk. He did not give Eldest Young Master Cai a chance to speak at all. He rushed up to Xiao Baoshan and gave him a beating, making Xiao Baoshan cry out in pain.

Madam Xie couldn’t bear to look at Xiao Baoshan any longer. Xiao Baoshan was in the wrong, but he didn’t even say a word before he was immediately beaten up—although Xiao Baoshan was also asking for a beating, and she also wanted to beat him up, it was clear that they didn’t think much of the Xiao family. Otherwise, such an aristocratic family wouldn’t have done such a rude thing.

This could possibly be the reason why the Cai family’s Madam didn’t show up. She actually wanted her sons to personally come and disgrace the Xiao Family!

“Someone, quickly pull the two gentlemen away!” Madam Xie raised her voice slightly.

The Xiao family was a family of generals, and the guards were all fighting experts selected from the army. However, because the Cai family was their in-laws, they had held back. If someone really came to fight at the residence, the guards of the Xiao family were not afraid of anyone.

Soon, the two of them were separated and Xiao Baoshan hid behind the guard. He was beaten up so much that his eyes could kill someone. He angrily said.

“I, Xiao Baoshan, will not let you off!”

Second Young Master Cai was obviously not afraid of him. “You have a mistress, and you still think you are right?! Which part of my sister is not better than that prostitute?! How dare you humiliate my Cai family like this—”

“You’re the one who introduced Lü Liu to me!” Xiao Baoshan said angrily, “You’re the one who said that she’s talented and beautiful, there’s no other woman in Jiankang City as wonderful as her!”

He was too embarrassed to say it. At that time, Second Young Master Cai had claimed that she was better than many young ladies from noble families!

She was beautiful, talented, and most importantly, gentle and lovely. There was not a flaw in her!

Now, he was reprimanding his Cai family for humiliating his family. It was obvious that he was the one who resulted in his family’s humiliation, alright?!

Worst of all, the air remained silent.

Even the courtyard outside the main hall became quiet. The birds on the trees stopped chirping, and the cicadas stopped calling.

…

“Then, Eldest Young Master Cai suggested bringing Young Madam back to the Cai family to recuperate. However, Madam did not agree, so they did not insist. They left without even seeing Young Madam, saying that they would come again another day.”

Xiao Baoxin heard the news about the events in the front yard when she was taking a bath in the evening after she finished practicing her punches.

Her whole body was limp as she soaked in the wooden bucket filled with flower petals. Her beautiful eyes were half closed, and it was unknown if she was listening or not. However, as Cai Wei poured water on Xiao Baoxin’s body, her mouth did not stop. She chattered on and explained everything she had heard from the front yard.

Cai Wei was the weakest in martial arts among Xiao Baoxin’s maids, but her strength lay elsewhere. She had a round, chubby face, small nose, small eyes, and small mouth. She was beautiful and amiable. From eighty-year-old women to two or three-year-old children, there was no one she could not talk to, and she had great ability to gather intelligence.

Cai Wei was the one who found out about the character of the youngest son of the Yuan family that she was engaged to. However, she was really short and small, and she looked too delicate and pretty. If she was outside, she would attract too much attention. Mu Jin was different. She was tall and thin like a bamboo pole, and she looked like a delicate young man with her hair tied up. That was why Xiao Baoxin usually brought her out.

‘But I don’t know what happened to matters at Mu Jin’s side,’ Xiao Baoxin thought distractedly. She got out of the tub and dipped half of her body in red petals, almost blinding Cai Wei’s eyes.

No matter how many times Cai Wei looked at her, she still couldn’t help but sigh at her Miss’ snow-white and flawless skin. She had the right figure where it should be protruding, where it should be perky. If she was slightly fatter or thinner, her figure would not be as perfect as her current one. Coupled with her otherworldly beauty, she was simply too great!

Judging from her looks alone, her efforts to fiddle with cosmetics and apply them on her face every day had not gone in vain. She was soft and tender, with a tinge of red in her fair skin. She was like a jade doll carved from jade.

“My Miss is so beautiful.” Cai Wei’s eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. She took the fragrance powder and hugged it in her arms, as if she was afraid that others would snatch her job and wipe it over Xiao Baoxin’s body.

“As long as I keep an eye on my Miss, all my troubles will disappear.”

Xiao Baoxin looked at herself in the bronze mirror. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her lips were like vermilion. After bathing, she looked even more beautiful and charming. She raised her hand and gently touched her face. Her skin was firm, and her lips were red, her teeth white, and she was a beautiful young girl. Every touch on her face would make people feel good.

“I think so too.”

Only Xiao Baoshu, this little brother who created trouble every few days, would cause people to worry to death, especially if they had a narrow mind. But luckily, looking at her own face from time to time can soothe her damaged little heart? Otherwise, she would have been able to hold it in and might explode on the spot.

Cai Wei:…

It was true that her Miss was extremely beautiful, but she was so narcissistic that she couldn’t bear to look at her anymore. She even suspected that her Miss wanted to withdraw from the engagement because she was used to her beautiful face and didn’t like anyone else!
