My Ferocious Tigress Wife

Xie Xian smiled slightly. His eyes were as gentle and beautiful as the spring
breeze.
âOther than Nora, I donât trust anyone else.
âYOU are my wife. No matter what you say or do, I will believe you. However, others had to be careful.â
âI feel that Empress Xiao doesnât seem to have so many thoughts and is very open and aboveboard in handling matters.âXiao Baoxin believed that he was quite accurate at judging people.
However, he did not forcefully refute Xie Xian.
There was nothing wrong with what he said. At the very least, he was the one who could call the wind and summon the rain in the imperial court. He was also the one who could stabilize the country.
-Whether she is honest or cunning, it has nothing to do with me.âXie Xian did not mind. His distrust of people was in his bones and could not be changed.
âPeople change.â
Before Xiao Baoxin could say anything, he heard the nanny carrying Xie Yan come over to pay her respects.
Although Xie Yan was brought up by Madam Yuan, Madam Yuan did not bully him. She would let the nanny bring him over every day, mostly when Xie Xian was at home. She also wanted her son to be close to her.
With a son, Xie Xian had everything he needed, so he carried Xie Yan up with
ease.
From the looks of it, it was a regular hug.
Xie Xian picked up the child and chatted about how beautiful and obedient his son was. He praised Xiao Baoxin so much that his smile almost froze.
Was it possible for him to be disobedient? He was already in his forties. He had to continue acting even if he wanted to. He could only pretend to be obedient.
She blinked her big eyes and looked beautiful and smart.
The baby was less than two months old, but he was already praised to be extremely smart, not inferior to his father.
Nora, hug me. Our son is so good and obedient.âXie Xian sent Xiao Bao a letter.
He could tell that Xiao Baoxin was not very close to his son, but he thought that she was still unfamiliar with everything because she was a new mother. He always thought that if he interacted more with her, Xiao Baoxin might be overflowing with love.
She had already pushed him into her arms, so it was not good not to hug him.
Xiao Baoxin was still feeling awkward.â
The nanny and the maid were not in the room. Xie Xian taught her how to carry the child the whole time. The mother and son secretly rolled their eyes. Life was like a play, and it all depended on acting.
âMother, youâre making my flesh hurt.â
âMother, my neck is going to break.â
â Forget it, my mother. You should give up and put me in my fatherâs armsâ¦â In just a while, Xiao Baoxin was covered in sweat and his face was red.
âYouâre still young. Youâll learn it if you hug more.âXie Xian smiled as he carried Xie Yan. âWhat did he say?â
âHuh?â Xiao Baoxin and Xie Yan were dumbfounded.
âDid our son say something?â Whether she could hear his thoughts or not. I remember that you said that when An Du was young, you heard him say that he had a stomachache, so you solved the case and didnât let that Lu Liu poison sister-in-law.â
Xiao Baoxin wiped his sweat. He felt that he would be exposed in a matter of minutes. Xie Xianâs intelligence was not something she could challenge.
âItâs just that Iâm hungry, uncomfortable, and so on. My voice is childishâ¦
Theyâre all too young to talk about things that are too deepâ¦â
Xie Yan,âI can talk about governing the country for a day and a night. Do you believe me?ââ
-Who do you think did it?âXiao Baoxin could not help but ask.
Xie Xian skillfully carried Xie Yan and walked in circles in the room. Todayâs half an hour of walking had not started yet.
âChu, He, Qi, Pan, all four families are possible, even Empress Xiao herself.â Xiao Baoxin was shocked this time. She had never lost her composure like this when talking about any of the four concubines.âEmpress Xiao? By myself?â His voice changed slightly.
âAre you serious?â
Xie Yan also forcefully suppressed his curiosity so that he didnât make a fuss like his mother and stare at his father.
âIâm not that curious.â
âIâm a child.â
âI shouldnât understand these words.â
â Forget it, Iâll just close my eyes. Father is too smart and not easy to fool.âXie Yan yawned and pretended to close his eyes.
His grandmother was too precious. She placed her father first in everything and never sent him to Rong An Hall. In fact, he couldnât avoid it. He really didnât want to go against his father. He was afraid of falling off the horse every day.
âNothing is impossible in this world. Think about it, who had the natural advantage to poison the Jiaofang Palace? Who is most likely to have instructed Nianxia to put something in the food-â
However, that woman felt that something was wrong with Nianxia, so she insisted on calling the imperial doctor. Otherwise, she was afraid that the Empress wouldâ¦Itâs just a small matter.â Xiao Baoxin still couldnât believe that Empress Xiao had directed and acted this out herself.
At least in her heart, Xiao Ning was not such a person.
âThatâs why I only said itâs possible.â Iâm not sure.
If it wasnât for Xiao Baoxinâs innate skill, he wouldnât have eliminated Xiao
Ning.
It was indeed possible that Xiao Ningming knew that she could not keep this child, so she used the pain of losing her child to suppress her with the Emperorâs hand. In fact, this was not impossible.
Of course, the possibility of this happening was extremely low.
And as a bystander, a former emperor who looked down on everyone, Xie Yan always felt that everyoneâs style was so different. Was it because his era was outdated, and the combat strength of his wives was generally not good, or was it because his imperial aura was domineering, suppressing them so that no one dared to move, orâ¦
He had never understood the wives in the harem?
Thatâs right, the aristocratic families had already been dealt with in disorder back then, and they no longer had the strength to resist the imperial power. It was different now. These people were definitely paid for by the aristocratic families, and the young ladies were all puppets.
However, he did not believe it himself.
â..âXie Xian looked at Xiao Baoxin in shock. Heâs actually sighingâ¦â Did babies nowadays know how to sigh at such a young age? Or was his son gifted?
Xie Yan held his breath.
âMaybe Iâm dreaming.â Xiao Baoxin had a headache. Did his sonâs brain take after hers?
However, she had no choice but to cover it up for him.
âDonât hold it. Itâs been a tiring day. Let Nanny carry it down.âWithout waiting for Xie Xian to speak, Xiao Baoxin raised his voice and called Nanny in.
Without any hesitation, she let the nanny carry Xie Yan back to the Freedom Courtyard.
Xie Yan let out a long breath.
Xie Xian looked at Nannyâs back as she walked out and then looked at Xiao Baoxin.
âWhatâs wrong?â Xiao Baoxin frowned.
âDid you hear him let out a long sigh just now?â
Xiao Baoxin expressed. âNot really. Whatâs wrong with you? Have you been under too much pressure recently?â
Xie Xian lowered his eyes and stared at her for a while. Then, amidst Xiao Baoxinâs guilty laughter, he whispered into her ear,ââItâs not just pressure. Fire⦠Itâs a little big.â
If his tone wasnât so ambiguous and he even kissed her earlobe, she would have treated his words as a casual remark.
However, after combining all the signs, this was a sentence that was about something.
Xiao Baoxin was inevitably transferred, and his heart was also very turbulent..
