My Ferocious Tigress Wife

Chapter 402: Chapter 402-Better Than Never

Translator: 549690339

For Wang Qiong to be able to say these words, it actually already made her stance clear.

The first thing that came to his mind was that the Zhou family had vented their anger on Xiao Baoxin. He must have been exposed to Madam Zhou’s words and knew what the Zhou family was thinking.

“You’re thinking too much. It might be that the Zhou Consortium and I are born to be at odds.”Wang Qiong shook her head. In the past, when she was engaged to Chu Silang, the two families would occasionally interact with each other. Madam Zhou was still polite to her, but after the Wang family fell, their attitude suddenly changed.

It couldn’t be said that it was because of Xiao Baoxin. If the Wang family hadn’t fallen, no matter how much the Zhou Consortium disliked it, they couldn’t possibly expose it so openly.

Even though that was the case, Xiao Baoxin and Wang Qiang both knew what the inside story was, so they definitely suffered quite a bit.

Xiao Baoxin felt guilty.

Zhou Weiniang’s matter was all the Zhou family’s fault. It was understandable that the Zhou family would vent their anger after Zhou Weiniang’s death. However, the discord between the Xiao and Zhou families started when Zhou Weiniang was chased out of Jiankang City. The family’s values were not right, and the victim was treated as the perpetrator by them.

There was no way to reason with such a family.

Chu Lingzi didn’t have much contact with the eldest branch. She was so many years younger than Madam Zhou and was also her sister-in-law, so she still looked quite happy on the surface. Hearing what Wang Qiong said, it wasn’t the case at all.

She was closer to Wang Qiang and had grown up together since they were young, so she was naturally more inclined towards Wang Qiang.

Even his impression of the Zhou Consortium was not good.

“If she doesn’t get along with you, she doesn’t get along with me. Let’s stay away from her in the future!”He instantly made his stand clear.

Then, she pulled Xiao Miaorong.” We’ll all be marrying into the Chu family in the future. There will definitely be some scheming and petty things. Let’s be good friends. We’ll be of one heart in the future.””

Xiao Miaorong nodded.”

Wang Qiang and Xiao Baoxin looked at each other. These two people were so compatible, it was also…It was a blessing.

At this moment, Xie Wan returned with a ‘heavy thank you’. Everyone jumped out of the gloom brought by the news of Zhou Weiniang’s death and turned to pay attention to the things she brought.

There was a square sandalwood box. When it was opened, there were eight brushes of different sizes.

The brush was plain, and only the words ” White Horse ” were engraved on it. This was the most famous brush workshop in Daliang, known as the White Horse Workshop, and it was a branch of the Yan Clan in Langya.

This set of eight pens was a classic from White Horse Workshop, and each set cost fifty taels.

It was a pen made from a mixture of wolf hair, deer hair, and raccoon hair. One of the two pens was a mouse beard pen made from the recently popular squirrel tail, and the other was a purple Hao pen made from the hair on the back of a wild mountain rabbit. Although they were also daughters of noble families, not every young lady could use this set of pens. The so-called heavy gift was really quite heavy.

Xiao Baoxin could not see what was good about this set of pens, but for Xie Wan to be able to say that it was a heavy gift, it should be very heavy.

Xiao Miaorong was proficient in painting and was an expert in all kinds of brushes and inkstones. With one glance, she knew that this was a good thing. Her eyes lit up as if she was glued to this set of brushes. If she continued to decline politely, it would seem fake.

“I like it so much. This is too precious. Seventh Lady, I will draw a portrait of you for the rest of my life!”Xiao Miaorong rushed up to him and hugged him. Anyone could see that she really liked him.

Chu Lingzi:

“Your bow… Tell me, what did you want me to send behind you…” The starting point was too high.

“You don’t have to give it to me. You don’t have to give it to me. I’m satisfied with this pen set! I’ll draw for you for the rest of my life!” Xiao Miaorong smiled until her teeth could not be seen, taking on all the work.

His words amused everyone.

“Look, I gave you the right gift.”Xie Wan also smiled. Seeing that Xiao Miaorong liked it so much, she was also happy.

The dullness in the room just now was swept away. A few young ladies gathered together and chatted about the interesting things they had learned when they were young.

They only returned to the manor after dinner.

Before leaving, Wang Qiang whispered to Xiao Bao,”You can give birth to your body. Your safety is the most important thing now. I don’t have any other meaning in telling you this. Some people just need to be careful and stay far away.”

The two of them were close. Even if Xiao Baoxin did not deliberately touch her, he could still hear Wang Qiang’s thoughts.

It wasn’t that Wang Qiong was sensitive, but that she had been beaten up by Madam Zhou and knew that Zhou Siniang’s matter had become a worry for the Zhou family. With this death, Wang Qiang was worried. He was not afraid of thieves stealing, but he was afraid of thieves thinking about him. Xiao Baoxin was currently in a critical period. If he didn’t guard against others and was schemed against, Wang Qiong would feel bad in her heart. It was unlike her who did not know. If she did not warn Xiao Baoxin even though she knew, then she would be no different from an accomplice.

Therefore, he couldn’t care less about whether the person behind him was right or wrong. He had to let Xiao Baoxin be on guard first.

How could Xiao Baoxin not know Wang Qiong’s thoughts?

“Fifteenth Aunt has always been loyal to me, I know what’s good for you, but I’m afraid that because of me, you suffered in front of Madam Zhou, it was my fault.”

“This is our fate. Can we be together just because her surname is Zhou?”Wang Qiang smiled.

Wang Qiang’s current status in the Chu family was somewhat awkward, but she was still able to stand on her side at this time and come to the Xie family to see her. It was obvious that she did not care about Madam Zhou’s feelings. How could Xiao Baoxin not be moved?

Wang Qiong was a widower in the Chu family and had adopted a son from Madam Chu. Madam Zhou was the eldest daughter-in-law and had given birth to two sons for the Chu family. They were obviously not on the same level.

“Alright, let’s not talk about this.” Xiao Baoxin smiled and sent her to the car.

Xie Wan saw the two of them talking as they walked, so she did not say anything on the spot. After sending them off, she asked Xiao Baoxin. When she entered, she listened to the end of the conversation. She did not know what was going on, but it seemed that something had happened.

Xiao Baoxin did not hide it and told Xie Wan everything.

“Let’s stay away from the Zhou family in the future.”After saying that, she parted ways with Xiao Baoxin and went to Madam Yuan’s courtyard.

This was not a small quarrel between the younger generation. It seemed that the Zhou family would bear a grudge against them. They still needed to communicate with the elders. It was also to prevent the elders from not knowing what was going on when they met in the future and causing trouble.

Xiao Baoxin was not very comfortable. Although he was inexplicably angry at being hated, he was actually somewhat regretful that a life was lost just like that.

When Xie Xian returned at night, Xiao Baoxin couldn’t help but ask about Zhou Weiniang.

When Xie Xian heard this, he only frowned.

The Zhou family had already been expelled from the political center, and no one in Jiankang City paid attention to it. He only heard about Zhou Weiniang’s death from Xiao Baoxin.

“I’ll ask Ming Yue to go and investigate.”

Then, he looked at Xiao Baoxin and said,”Don’t think too much. It has nothing to do with you.” When she wanted to poison you to death, she really did it without any mercy.”

Xiao Baoxin nodded.” I know.”

“I’m afraid Zhou Weiniang’s death isn’t as simple as it seems.” You should also be careful.”

“Don’t worry, their family is already in dire straits.”Xie Xian muttered to himself for a long time before calling Ming Yue in. Not only did he ask him to investigate Zhou Siniang’s death, but he also asked Ming Yue to investigate the entire Zhou family, including which family the daughter had married into and her daily interactions with others. It was to prevent a problem from happening..
