Salted Fish Lady Loves to Eat Melons

Chapter 21 Ordinary People Don’t Have So Many Elaborates
Wen Qingwan looked at the man who could barely stand. She must have thought too much, as his fiefdom was very rich.

He just happened to own a few villages and there happened to be 10,000 disabled soldiers!

When she was the queen in her previous life, she helped Zhao Jue deal with memorials and had never seen the record that Xiao Jin was a marquis.

"It's good to have people and land. When we have time, we will go to see those villages." Wen Qingwan said casually. In fact, she just wanted to live until she was old.

Seeing that the little girl was not interested, Xiao Jin wished he could bite off his tongue. He shouldn't have said anything extra.

"My dear, let's go to the front hall to eat." Xiao Jin said without letting her go, and held her in his arms as they walked towards the gate of the yard.

Wen Qingwan saw that his face looked bad again, and felt that he was fragile and got angry easily.

No matter what he thought in his heart, she had no intention of spending any time on him.

In her previous life, she managed to survive by marrying a perverted prince. In this life, she has grown up and is not afraid of any perverted man.

Since she agreed to get married, she had no intention of getting divorced. She didn't want to live a secluded life.

Now she has a lot of mind-reading talismans, but she doesn't want to waste them on Xiao Jin. She doesn't want to know the good or the bad, so as not to be caught in a dilemma.

Thinking of this, she felt suddenly relieved. Xiao Jin was the eldest son of the Marquis, and the courtyard he lived in was not remote.

The yard is quite big, with four dark red doors at the entrance. Usually only the two doors in the middle are slightly open.

Xiao Jin's yard was guarded by Leng Yan's men. The two young men stood straight, unlike those guards who stood shabbily at the gate of the marquis' mansion.

The diamond-patterned wooden windows on the side corridor were open, looking clean and refreshing. There were rattan chairs and a rattan table in front of the corridor, and three feet away from the rattan table, there were lush flowers and plants.

The originally cold and deserted courtyard unexpectedly appeared more lively and rustic against the backdrop of flowers and plants.

As soon as they left their courtyard, there was a blue-gray brick road in the middle leading directly to the hall.

What he saw was a deserted courtyard. It was estimated that the marquis's wife did not pay the gardeners enough, so they were lazy.

Occasionally, there were some amazing bird calls from the tall trees outside the wall.

The wall is a bit mottled, but from the small brick windows on the wall and the decorations around it, you can still see its scenery many years ago.

The roof has relatively few eaves, which is said to be a popular production style among craftsmen a hundred years ago.

These decorations made Wen Qingwan wonder whether the ancestor of the Xiao family might have once been a powerful hero!

Unfortunately, the Xiao family was getting weaker with each generation, and their fortunes were declining. The people and things had changed and their titles were demoted.

When Wen Qingwan and his wife walked into the hall, they saw everyone in the Xiao family sitting at the dining table waiting for them.

Some of them were already weak and listless, or so emaciated that only skin and bones remained.

"Everyone is here, let's start serving the food." Wen Qingwan shouted from the main seat.

“Before serving the dishes, I want to state one thing again: confiscating everyone’s private property is for everyone’s good.

It is to prevent the family from worrying not about scarcity but about inequality, not about poverty but about insecurity. Since we are a family, we should love each other.

A family that loves each other will naturally not cause injustice, so don't act like this."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. She looked a little weak, but her voice was still quite loud.

Her temperament is dignified and cold, which makes people dare not be presumptuous.

Especially since there was a King of Hell standing next to her. Outsiders said that he had mountains and rivers in his heart, but everyone in the Marquis' Mansion knew that he was very cruel.

Wen Qingwan used a mind-reading talisman to read Lao Er's thoughts, and sure enough, he didn't say a single word.

[It's for our own good, it's for the good of the losers in the mansion!] [They deserve to starve if they have no ability, and I deserve to eat and drink if I have ability.]

[It's easy for you to say that. Confiscating it is for our own good! But it is my private property that I have worked hard to accumulate for many years.]

[That's the money I used to marry and have children. If it weren't for the fact that my men couldn't beat the men of the King of Hell, who do you think you are?]

[Humph! How dare you, a weak woman, take my private property? When the King of Hell is no longer by your side, I will throw you into a beggar's den.]

"Second Brother Xiao, you are cursing me in your heart and you want to throw me into a beggar's den?" Wen Qingwan roared angrily.

"Snap." She slapped the large table in front of her, and a crack appeared on the solid and heavy purple sandalwood table.

Xiao Jin's eyes darkened. The little girl actually had internal strength, but he raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Libo.

"Sister-in-law...I...really didn't scold you." Xiao Libo stuttered with fear, but he was not frightened by Wen Qingwan.

[Oh my God! Although the King of Hell did not speak, his eyes were like a sharp sword, revealing his determination and murderous intent towards his prey.]

[I just thought this in my heart, does my sister-in-law know or is she trying to trick me? ]

[Oh my god! The King of Hell is still looking at me, should I admit it?]

[If I admit it, I will definitely die. If I don’t admit it, I will definitely die. Anyway, I am thinking in my heart, oh, why is my life so miserable! ]

"Since Lao Er didn't scold me in his heart, let's all sit down and eat."

Wen Qingwan listened to Xiao Laoer's inner thoughts and felt that he was too cowardly and not worth her time to deal with him.

Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion stood up after being slapped by Wen Qingwan, and they all looked at her with lingering fear.

Soon, the servants brought the dishes, including eight-treasure blood duck, Kung Pao chicken, and first-class braised lion's head...

There are also many people who like to eat the big pork elbow with soy sauce, which looks fresh, tender and smooth.

The aroma was so fragrant, it was simply a delicious temptation. Everyone forgot their fear for a moment and couldn't help swallowing.

"Everyone, please prepare to eat. Don't rush to grab the food. Pick one person from each table and each meal to share the food."

Wen Qingwan stretched out her delicate hand and pointed at Xiao Laoer as she spoke, "Old Laoer will serve the food for my younger brother today, and you will be pushed to the back tomorrow. Tell me if it's unfair."

She also didn't expect that Xiao Jin would arrange so many dishes. Her first meal as the head of the family was quite prestigious.

"Yes, sister-in-law." When Xiao Libo saw the delicious food, he no longer complained.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he did not dare to show favoritism and distributed the meat and vegetables honestly, for fear that his sister-in-law would resent him if he did not distribute them evenly.

There was naturally no need to divide the food at Wen Qingwan's table, and everyone took their food as usual.

The Marquis, the old lady, and Xiao Litao looked at the cracks on the table in front of them, and they all thought it was due to age.

The old lady was wearing an indigo satin cross-collar spring gown with embroidered flowers and a dark grey jacket with a gourd pattern. She wore no jewelry but had a few beads wrapped around her hands.

Perhaps because she eats vegetarian food and chants Buddhist scriptures every day, her face looks quite compassionate, but when she eats the pork elbow with soy sauce, she looks like a vulgar old lady.

The concubines of the marquis ate the meat with big mouthfuls without caring about their image, and the teenagers devoured it even more voraciously.

The only sound in the entire hall was the sound of people eating and chewing meat. After all, we were all ordinary people and there was no need to be so particular.

Seeing that everyone was busy eating, Wen Qingwan's appetite also increased and she ate half a bowl of rice more than usual.
