My Ferocious Tigress Wife

There was not a sense of dejection. Her fighting spirit was as high as a gamecock. Cai Wei's words of consolation that had reached her mouth were swallowed back down.

Fortunately, she did not say it. Otherwise, how stupid would she seem?

In the past, she only thought that her Miss was too arrogant and did not fancy the sons of the noble families who behaved promiscuously everywhere. But after hearing what Mu Jin said, she realized that they were really not good people!

Luckily, her Miss had sharp eyes and didn't believe him. Otherwise, if she really married him, wouldn't there be chaos?

She didn't believe that her Miss would be at a disadvantage. She was only afraid that there was a possibility that Miss would make a mistake. If she couldn't hold back and hit him hard, it would be fine if she injured or crippled him. But if she killed him, it would be hard to explain.

She, Tang Li, and the other two had been by their Miss' side since they were young. If she was married, they would definitely follow her. At that time, if someone died, they would probably all be implicated.

It was not worth it for such a cheap man.

"Yes, Mu Jin, say it. Such a rotten man is not worthy of our Miss. We can't let him get what he wants!" Cai Wei was even more agitated than Xiao Baoxin.

"Miss, let me go next time. I'll fight for you. I don't believe I can't tear apart the scumbag's hypocritical look."

In short, protect Miss and take care of yourself!

"…On the eighth of next month, it's the birthday of Xie family's old Madam. They said that they would have some fun after the birthday celebration…" Mu Jin sniffed. Thinking of the playful tone when the man said 'have fun', she couldn't help but shiver. It was too uncouth!

Those who had not seen it with their own eyes would not be able to understand it. It was a feeling that gave her goosebumps from inside out, a feeling of disgust and cold.

"Miss." Mu Jin hesitated. This was not something a servant should say.

"Miss, you must not accept such a scumbag! Don't let yourself jump into the fire pit because of a moment of soft-heartedness."

The words that Mu Jin kept wrapped around her tongue the whole time spilled out in one go, as if they were beans that had been poured out of a bamboo tube by Cai Wei.

"Such a scumbag should be punished by everyone," Cai Wei said indignantly.

Alright, she could certainly feel the enthusiasm of everyone. Xiao Baoxin pretended that she did not know Cai Wei's thoughts. This was the disadvantage of being able to see through the hearts of others. If she heard too much, even if she had not come into contact with them, she would be able to predict their thoughts based on that person's personality.

But having such a loyal servant was hard to come by. Everyone had their own thoughts.

"You Mei, it's your turn next time—"

"Miss!" Tang Li, who was the most reliable among them, couldn't bear to watch any longer. She said in shock, "If you want to end the engagement, then so be it. You can't kill anyone!"

The corner of Xiao Baoxin's mouth twitched. What was she referring to?

Her rising heroic voice was clearly to boost her own confidence. She had made up her mind but it was disrupted by Tang Li's shout.

She was the daughter of a high-ranking official in the court, not a robber who would kill someone at the slightest disagreement. It was just a marriage annulment, did she have to implicate herself too?

"You Mei was born as Miss' servant, and I will die as Miss' spirit!" You Mei declared in an unwavering manner. "So long as it's Miss' commands, I shall obey even if it means jumping into a pot of boiling oil."

A loyal servant! This was exactly it!

It was just a moment ago that she had said that loyal servants were only legends, but now, they were standing right before her!

In a moment of excitement, Xiao Baoxin actually pulled out a golden hairpin and wanted to reward her, but when she stuffed it into You Mei's hands, she could clearly hear her muttering in her heart—

"I didn't say it wrong, right?"

'It seems right, but how much does this golden hairpin cost? Boohoohoo, could it be that my Miss really wants me to kill someone and this is the funeral fees?'

'I don't know if it's too late to change my mind now. I don't want to kill anyone. I still have a lot of delicious food that I haven't eaten yet! Roasted duck, roasted chicken, roasted goose, braised pig, braised duck, braised chicken, dried meat…'

…

Even Xiao Baoxin found it hard to describe her current mood. This was the first time she felt that the word 'indescribable' was so appropriate.

"You Mei, I know that you are loyal and have no second thoughts. I trust you to handle such a big matter. I want it to be clean and without a trace. You can leave your family to me, I will take care of them. You can go without any worries!"

When You Mei heard this, she fell to her knees. She had really shot herself in the foot.

Her chubby hands were going to be bloodstained and she would no longer be able to taste all the delicious food, right?

"Mi-Miss--"

"I'll get Tang Li to pay respects at your mother's grave every year. Don't worry." Xiao Baoxin gave a soul-stirring smile and stretched her arms. "I'm tired too. It's time to rest."

She stood up and walked into the inner room. After receiving Tang Li's signal, Cai Wei hurriedly followed.

You Mei's could feel her mouth hurting. She was not a smooth talker. Every time she watched Cai Wei's glib tongue and how she could please other people with her words, she was envious. It was not easy for her to learn from others, but she had even lifted a rock and smashed her own feet.

"Hurry up and leave—" Tang Li pretended to help You Mei up.

"Yes, hurry up and go. There's no time to lose. You should make your plans as soon as possible." Xiao Baoxin's clear voice rose slightly. "I'll be waiting for your good news."

You Mei followed Tang Li out of the room with a bitter face. She stood outside and held Tang Li's hand, refusing to let go.

She fell in a difficult spot and didn't know what to say.

"Tang Li, I don't want to kill anyone. Can you go and… persuade Miss. It's against the law to kill someone. Even though you say that I am strong, I'm afraid I won't be able to endure it if I'm really locked up in prison."

"Besides, it's just a divorce. There's no need to kill him."

You Mei was about to cry. "Why don't I go beat him up and break his legs?"

She had parents and children—her little nephews, nieces, and a long future ahead of her to satisfy her cravings. She did not want to die so early.

Tang Li burst into laughter. Her stomach was cramping from all the teasing. She pinched You Mei's face gently.

"You should stop soon. You're sounding more and more ridiculous as you speak. Yet you like to put on a brave front and talk about dying. Miss was just teasing you on purpose. Quickly wipe your tears and wash your face. In the future, you'll just have to take good care of Miss." 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝒎

Happiness came so suddenly that You Mei couldn't believe it for a moment. "You said that Miss was teasing me on purpose?"

"But she just told me to plan and take action."

"You're just a young lady, where are you going to find Young Master Yuan? Even if you knew, would you be able to see him? You're just strong and don't know how to climb roofs and walls. You've been in and out with Miss countless times. Who doesn't know that you're her maidservant? If you kill someone in broad daylight, would Miss be able to escape responsibility?"

"Only a blockhead like you would take it seriously." Tang Li scolded jokingly, "Who asked you to spout nonsense? Miss was obviously trying to teach you a lesson."

You Mei finally felt relieved. She mumbled, "I thought that I'm the only one who's clumsy with my words and not likable. Since it was rare for Miss to need me, I thought I should express my loyalty."

"You almost sacrificed yourself while expressing your loyalty." Tang Li took out a handkerchief and wiped her face for her. "Tomorrow, you should find a chance to go in and seek Miss' forgiveness."

You Mei still had lingering fears. Indeed, flattery was not suitable for her.

Her mouth was more suitable for eating.
