My Ferocious Tigress Wife

Chapter 58: A Clear conscience

Translator: 549690339

Wei Desheng had met Xiao Baoxin when Xiao Yun’s entire family had moved to Jiankang City, and he had passed down the imperial edict to reward this mansion. Later on, he became more and more favored, and these small matters such as issuing decrees were no longer his turn.

Today, the Yuan family had caused too much trouble. The Emperor was worried that others would not know their limits, so he had made this trip.

Xiao Baoxin was a beauty when he was young, and he was even more amazing when he grew up. Wei Desheng was used to seeing beautiful women in the harem, and he could not help but praise her. His temperament was cold, but there was a hint of beauty in his coldness.

In this life, he had seen beauties the most. Jiankang City did not lack beauties, and the palace did not lack them either. It was rare for them to be so beautiful that they had their own characteristics!

This Xiao Baoxin was too unique.

If the Yuan family lost this marriage, it was not impossible for them to take revenge.

Yuan Chen had to admit that his taste was quite unique to exchange a beautiful face for a little fatty from the Wang family.

“I think your housekeeper has already told Niangzi. If Niangzi is properly prepared, you can go to the palace with me now and personally tell Niangniang what is going on. The Yuan Family has caused a bit of a big ruckus and has already reported the Imperial Decree.”

From his words, it was obvious that Wei Desheng was on the Xiao family’s side.

Who did Wei Desheng represent?

Your Majesty.

Even the Emperor was siding with the Xiao family, so what was there to be afraid of?

Xiao Baoxin bid farewell to Madam Xie and left with Wei Desheng without batting an eyelid. If Wei Desheng had been amazed by Lady Xiao’s looks before, he was now impressed by her calm demeanor.

He had seen too many people. Not to mention having a guilty conscience, even if there was no ghost, when they heard that they were going to meet the emperor, many people’s hearts would be in a mess. It was not that there was no one who made a fool of themselves in front of the emperor. However, this eldest daughter of the Xiao family seemed to be visiting the house of a young lady she was on good terms with. She smiled like a flower. She was only fourteen or fifteen years old and was stronger than him. When he was fourteen or fifteen years old, his legs were still trembling when he saw the Emperor.

When the Emperor said that a tiger father does not have a dog daughter, he did not think much of it, but it was to give face to Great General Xiao Yun.

Now that he had seen it for himself, he knew that the young masters of the aristocratic families did not beat them up for nothing. They were really fearless no matter where they went. That magnanimous attitude of his agreed with Madam Xie’s words. If he didn’t like Yuan Jiuniang, he would beat her up. Poisoning was too complicated and couldn’t be effective on the spot. It didn’t suit Lady Xiao’s temperament.

“Xiao Niangzi need not panic. When you see Niangniang, you will speak your mind. Niangniang will naturally report to the public to deal with it.”

Wei Desheng sounded guilty when he said this. Lady Xiao did not look panicked at all, but she still said what she should say.”Great General Xiao is now quelling the chaos and resolving the worries of the imperial court. The emperor will not allow anyone to slander Great General Xiao’s family.”

They were not allowed to take a carriage once they entered the palace. Xiao Baoxin followed Wei Desheng along the palace path, leaving the other palace servants far behind.

Wei Desheng’s voice was gentle and just right. Even his smile seemed to have been calculated accurately. He looked so amiable.

Xiao Baoxin could hear Wei Desheng’s unspoken meaning. Regardless of whether she did it or not, as long as she did not admit it, no one could do anything to her. In other words, the Emperor actually did not hope that she did it. To put it bluntly, no matter if she did it or not, it could not be her.

The emperor didn’t want to punish the family members of the great heroes who led the troops to fight outside.

“Thank you for your advice, Eunuch.” Xiao Baoxin put on a sincere and magnanimous face.” This official’s daughter is crude and unreasonable, but she will not tarnish my father’s reputation. This was a trick that the female official had never done before. The so-called poisoning was probably Yuan Jiuniang and Shi Ning County Lord working together to force me to drink with her. I knew that Yuan Jiuniang came with ill intentions, so I exchanged wine with her.”

“All the ladies present can testify to this scene.”

Wei Desheng nodded slowly.” I see.’”‘

It seemed that she had not disgraced the name of Great General Xiao. His father had fought with real swords and spears to gain military merits, while she had fought with fists and kicks to gain her reputation!

Lady Xiao dared to point out the witnesses present, so she should have a clear conscience. But why did she bring up the Ning County Head again…

The two of them walked to the front of the Jiaofang Palace. In order to be worthy of Madam Xie’s stack of banknotes, Wei Desheng repeatedly reminded her,””The Empress is generous and benevolent. Xiao Niangzi only needs to report what happened. You must tell her the truth and must not randomly make up stories.”

“I understand.” Xiao Baoxin bowed slightly.

There were already palace maids waiting outside the Jiaofang Palace. Seeing Xiao Baoxin arrive, they did not say much and led her to see the Empress.

Even though Emperor Yu Heng suppressed the great clans in all aspects, his empress was actually the Langya Wang family. Emperor Yu Heng had countless beauties in his harem, and his favorite concubines were as numerous as the hairs on an ox. However, he was always very respectful to Empress Wang. At least, in the harem, the Empress had always been the one who spoke her mind. The husband and wife could be considered to be respectful to each other.

It is also rumored that, as Wei Desheng said, the Empress is generous and benevolent. As for what was going on inside, Xiao Baoxin did not know.

Walking into the main hall, Xiao Baoxin could already see Madam Yin, who was half-sitting on the embroidered stool. At this moment, she was no longer the kind and gentle appearance she had in the Xiao manor. She was wiping her tears aggrievedly, looking like a pitiful woman.

“My daughter Xiao Baoxin greets the Empress.”

Empress Wang hurriedly gave him a seat.” There’s no other reason for calling you to the palace so urgently. I just have something to ask you.””

The Empress looked to be in her thirties. She was beautiful and dignified, but not particularly charming. There were also a few fine lines at the corners of her eyes, but it gave people a feeling of being bathed in the spring breeze. Her voice was gentle and pleasant, as if she was gently whispering into your ear.

“Please make a decision for my poor daughter. She is still unconscious on the bed.”Madam Yin was obviously very dissatisfied with the Empress’s attitude and wanted to show Xiao Baoxin her authority by making the first move.

“Who would have thought that there would be someone who would be so ruthless when the girls were quarreling and bickering. If it weren’t for the timely treatment, my Jiuniang’s life would have been lost.”

Madam Yin became more and more sorrowful as she spoke. She sobbed soundlessly as if her tears were free.

Empress Wang had heard the same words no less than ten times. She wished that she could not even see Xiao Baoxin’s face and wanted her to convict him. It would be best if she killed him directly.

“There are many young ladies here, but we can’t be sure that it was Lady Xiao who did it. Madam Yin, I know you are eager to find the culprit to vent your hatred, but Eldest Lady Xiao has already arrived. Wouldn’t it be better to hear her explanation personally?”

Empress Wang said softly,” We want to catch the murderer, not just find someone to punish. Isn’t this deceiving the injured Jiuniang?””

It was reasonable, but the more Madam Yin listened, the more ear-piercing it became.

He had captured a person and entered the palace for two hours before appearing. Was he going to capture someone or invite someone?

Was this to seek justice for them, or to clear the Xiao Manor’s name?

“I hope Your Highness will be impartial and make decisions for our Jiuniang..”
