Salted Fish Lady Loves to Eat Melons

Chapter 161: Fame and Money

This time it was Wen Qingwan's turn to be surprised. Mrs. Jiang and her daughter did not know the identity of her fourth brother.

She quickly calmed down and said, "Since Madam Jiang has no objection, we will ask the matchmaker to go to the Jiang family to propose marriage tomorrow."

"Madam Xiao, why don't you ask the Fourth Young Master what he thinks?" Madam Jiang lowered her attitude even more.

"Miss Jiang helped my fourth brother once a few days ago. After returning home, I asked my fourth brother what he thought."

Wen Qingwan naturally would not tell the Jiang mother and daughter. Xiao Lichuan was confused at the time and asked her who Jiang Li was.

He said he didn't pay attention to it, but he believed in his sister-in-law's judgment, as long as his sister-in-law thought it was good, it was fine.

"That's good. We will be waiting for Madam Xiao to visit us at the mansion tomorrow." Madam Jiang said with a smile on her face.

Seeing Wen Qingwan so enthusiastic, she thought that the Fourth Young Master Xiao also liked her daughter very much.

So she chatted with Wen Qingwan for a while before leaving with her daughter.

Wen Qingwan, with 40,000 taels of silver in her pocket, also wanted to go home and rest early, after all, she had not slept all night last night.

Fan Mansion.

The Marquis of Zhenxi and Old Madam Fan were sitting in the hall. Old Madam Fan cursed with a ferocious look on her face: "Do you usually eat white rice?"

"..."

More than a dozen guards were lying in a row, not daring to cry out in pain. Could they have been beaten even more badly?
But they didn't dare say it out loud. They were servants bought by the Marquis' Mansion. Not to mention getting injured for failing to protect their master, even death would be what they deserved.

When the Marquis of Zhenxi saw more than a dozen guards lying on the ground pretending to be dead, he angrily cursed: "I spent a lot of money to support you, is it to let you go out and embarrass yourself?"

The mother and son never mentioned the incident of Madam Fan San having her mouth torn, as that would have brought further shame to the Marquis's Mansion.

The Marquis's wife sat on the left with her head down and said nothing. If her children hadn't pulled her back today, she would have definitely been beaten.

Even though her eldest son was very promising, it was still very shameful for him to be beaten, especially with so many people watching.

A young guard whispered, "My Lord, please calm down, old lady... that maid has extremely high martial arts skills, and we can't do anything about it!"

After hearing this, Madam Fan became even angrier and she stabbed the ground hard with her cane.

Then he roared: "Useless! A bunch of useless! You can't even take care of a little girl, what's the use of you?"

The guards were so frightened that they trembled all over, but they didn't know how to refute, so they could only lie there and let her scold them.

"Grandma." Just as Mrs. Fan was about to continue scolding, the door curtain was suddenly lifted and Fan Yuxuan walked in and called softly.

"Grandma, please calm down. Third Uncle and Big Brother are already on their way back."

Seeing her most outstanding granddaughter coming, Mrs. Fan's expression relaxed and she nodded to her.

Then he poked the ground and shouted at the guard lying on the ground: "Housekeeper, take people to throw them all into the slums and let them fend for themselves. Don't keep them in the mansion and waste medicinal materials."

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away." The butler agreed respectfully and personally led his men to take action.

"My Lord, you can't abandon us!" The older guards didn't want to be left dead in the wilderness.

The Marquis of Zhenxi said coldly: "You failed to protect your master, so I am merciful not to throw you into the mass grave.

If you can survive, you are lucky. If you can't survive, you can only blame yourself for your incompetence.

No one is allowed to spread what happened today. If it gets out, even if you are lucky enough to survive, you will lose your heads. Do you understand?" "Yes." The guards groaned in their hearts, but dared not say anything, not even a word of explanation.

In fact, they also knew that although their injuries looked serious, they did not cause any broken bones and they would only need a few days of rest to heal.

But the Marquis and the old lady abandoned them and coldly ordered them never to set foot into the Marquis' Mansion again.

At this time, the guards no longer hated the thugs from Yunjin Store at all. Compared to their mercy, the actions of the Marquis and his mother made them even more disheartened.

The guards felt a surge of anger in their hearts, but there was nothing they could do!

They even fantasized in their hearts that after they recovered from their injuries, they would go to Yunjin Store to work as thugs.

Although filled with anger, the guards showed a reluctance to leave.

It was as if they were deeply dependent on the Marquis' Mansion and would die immediately after leaving it.

"Okay, hurry up and mop it away, and clean the floor." After showing off her authority, Old Lady Fan signaled the maids and servants to clean the floor.

Zhenxi Hou frowned and asked worriedly, "Xuan'er, are your eldest brother and third uncle really back?"

Fan Yuxuan said softly, "Don't worry, father. Liu'er has already informed my eldest brother. They will be back soon to support Third Aunt."

Madam Fan asked with a displeased look on her face: "Old Master, are you dead? How can you watch Old Master San's mouth being torn apart?"

"Grandma, even though we have so many guards in our house, they are no match for us. What can mother do?"

"Mother, Xuan'er is right. This cannot be blamed on Lin Niang. A man who knows the current situation is a hero. When encountering a strong opponent, one should restrain himself."

Marquis Zhenxi did not want to stand up to defend his wife and make his mother unhappy, but his eldest son had great potential and was a well-known filial son.

Moreover, his daughter also cares about her mother. His daughter is going to marry the prince and become his consort, so he has to give his children a good image.

The Marquis of Zhenxi was afraid that his mother would be unhappy, so he said something nice, "Don't worry, mother. With Wen Guang's presence, we can uproot not only the Yunjin store but also the Marquis of Weiwu Mansion."

Seeing her eldest son's confident look, Old Lady Fan was finally a little happy. With her third son and eldest grandson working together, there was no need to worry about not bringing down the Xiao family.

********
At the Xiao Mansion, Wen Qingwan had a good sleep as soon as she returned home, washed up, and then went to the hall to have dinner.

After the meal, Wen Qingwan announced something in public, "Grandma, father, I have already hired a matchmaker and will take my fourth brother to the Jiang family to propose marriage tomorrow."

Wen Qingwan's voice was soft, but her eyes were firm. The Xiao family looked at her in shock.

But they did not comment. As long as the fourth brother (fourth elder brother) had no objection, they had no objection.

"This is a good thing. Grandma has no objection. Grandma also trusts Wan'er's judgment."

Old Madam Xiao said cheerfully that she really had no objection, as long as all her grandsons got married, everything would be fine.

"The Jiang family? Is it the family of Censor Jiang?" Xiao's father asked in surprise. That old guy always impeached him for inaction.

"Father doesn't want to?" Wen Qingwan was also surprised. Whether it was her second brother marrying Fan Shiba or her fifth brother marrying a village girl, Father Xiao had never been surprised.

"Father has no objection. I'm just curious as to why Lord Jiang agreed to let his daughter marry into our mansion."

"Father, why wouldn't Lord Jiang agree? Our mansion now has both fame and money." Xiao Lao Er said proudly.

"Yes, father, our mansion is very popular now, and we receive many visiting cards every day."
