Desprate Tigress by Jade Lee

Shi Po has tried to reach heaven, immortality which is the Taoist ideal she has devoted her life to it. But it has been denied to her. Two white barbarian women Joanna Crane and Lydia Smith had found immortality while she had not. When General Kang visits her home looking for a monk, who is no longer there he is upset. That she has housed him and, is under the impression that she kept him prisoner and forced a white woman on him. She knows that this monk is son and reveals this to him which makes him all the angrier. Her husband Kui Yu is no home at this time but has been sent for. General Kang is also highly irritated that Kui Yu is not there to receive him. Or arrives quickly after he does Kui Yu does not even show up before the General leaves. The General and his men leave the home in disarray looking for the Monk and the white woman to ensure he is not there before he leaves. When he does not find them he advises Shi Po that if he finds other wise she will pay for it. When Kui Yu arrives she explains all to him and that he also had her brother executed because of the feud with his son. Although the General said that he was executed for training rebels of the White Lotus Society. When Kui Yu he found her in meditation in her private room sitting in front of tools for her suicide. He talked her out of it, their dinner was quiet until Aunt Mei Ting arrived. In an uproar, because of the arrival of some of Shi Po’s girls coming to her aunts house in search of some refuge from the soldiers and now her aunt was upset and in fear that she herself would be arrested and wanted to know exactly what Shi Po was being visited by an upset general for. She explained to her aunt that she did not have what the General wanted nor did she know where he was. Her aunt told her to find it she told her Aunt there was no more danger because the monk and the white woman were both gone. But her Aunt thought differently and advised her to leave Shanghai disaster befell there family. Her aunt stated that the general may very well come and take them in the middle of the night and she would be lucky if she was killed. Kui Yu escorted Aunt Ting out of their home to the front gate. When he returned he asked Shi Po if she thought there was any danger she said not that both the monk (the general’s son) and the white woman were gone. Kui Yu was not quite sure himself. He told her he had gold hidden near by, she said not they would be fine, that she new exactly what to do. He said for her to handle her “woman’s business” and he will and his “mans Business”. She had planned to go ahead with her suicide and had chosen his next wife Little Pearl. But before she could execute this plan completely her husband interrupted her and stopped her once again saying she was breaking her promise to him. As they lay in that room sleeping much later they were awakened by General Kang’s soldiers and were ordered to an audience with General Kang. Her husband was treated as a common thief and she was made to ride in front of a smelly soldier. When they arrived they were separated Kui Yu was treated as a friend in a way. Kang offered to have Shi Po disappear, arrested and discredited since she has caused him this problem. He refused and says that if she has been anything other than a normal wife he will deal with her in his way in time. The general told him that with all the secrets women have she is able to fake virginity on the wedding night. This upset Kui Yu and he lased out saying to release him so he could be free to see and spend time with his wife. Once the General questions Shi Po both are locked away in a cell with questions on if they will be let out. Jade Lee has brought us another stunning addition to her Tigress series it is as in depth and steamy as the previous ones before it. A definite keeper like the others.
