Chapter 231 Old Madam Fan Comes to Xiao Mansion
Xiao Jin's tone was steady, neither anxious nor impatient, but he looked directly at the Marquis of Zhenxi with full aura and an oppressive force.

The Marquis of Zhenxi explained with a pale face: "Lord Xiao, I was afraid that my niece would shock you with her rude words, so I was in a hurry to let them leave first. I really didn't mean any other thing."

As he spoke, he stole a glance at the Fifth Prince. The Fifth Prince was his future son-in-law, and he was really scared.

His sister is the Concubine Shu, and his nephew is the Fourth Prince. He always thought that his daughter would marry the Fourth Prince and become his principal wife.

His sister often hinted to him, but the emperor suddenly issued an order to give his daughter to the fifth prince as a concubine.

He was terrified at the time, thinking that the emperor was dissatisfied with him. Later he realized that the emperor might depose the prince.

The ministers all secretly speculated that the fifth prince might become the crown prince, and the Marquis of Zhenxi was ecstatic again.

That's why he had the audacity to bring his wife and daughter to visit Weiwuhou today in exchange for his son's wedding invitation.

He always knew that his mother favored his second brother's daughter and spoiled Sixteen into being domineering.

If the Fifth Prince misunderstands that his daughter is as unruly as the Sixteenth Prince, it would be a loss.

Wen Qingwan looked at the Marquis of Zhenxi, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes but looked a little embarrassed.

He is very good at making friends and scheming. In his previous life, the Fan family did not suffer any misfortune because of the bad ending of the Fifth Prince, which shows that he is very good at flattery.

Although he was slightly plump but not bloated at this moment, his skin was fair and plump. Although he was obviously nervous under Xiao Jin's gaze.

But Wen Qingwan knew that it was best not to offend such a person easily, so she stepped forward and lowered her head.

"Thank you, Marquis Zhenxi, for considering our Xiao family. My husband and I would also like to apologize on behalf of my aunt, the Fifth Prince, and the two Dukes."

The Fifth Prince was startled, and quickly clasped his fists and said, "How can this be blamed on... Marquis Xiao and Madam Xiao? Your Highness doesn't mind."

When the Duke of Anguo and the Duke of Huguo saw that the Fifth Prince was so polite to Xiao Jin, they quickly expressed their opinions: "Our Duke doesn't mind either, not at all."

Duke Su has never had a good impression of Marquis Zhenxi, because Marquis Zhenxi is more utilitarian than he is, and he at least rose to the top step by step.

When Minister Shen saw that several big men had expressed that they didn't mind, he had no right to mind, after all, it was his good-for-nothing son who caused the trouble.

He had wanted to punish his good-for-nothing son before, but it was the Marquis's wife who gave him face and said that everyone was just playing around.

Now that the victim has come here, he should show sincerity.

So he walked up to Fan Shiliu and said, "Miss Fan, I, Shen, apologize to you on behalf of my son. It is because I, Shen, did not teach my son well. Please don't hold it against my son."

Fan Shiliu was still immersed in the sadness of Xiao Yi and Xie Xiaofeng getting too close. She was crying her heart out and had no idea of ​​Minister Shen's identity.

Seeing someone apologizing to her, she arrogantly questioned: "If you want me to not care, you have to show your sincerity."

"What kind of sincerity do you want, Miss Fan?" Minister Shen's voice was calm, but he had been an official for many years after all, and he was intimidating without even getting angry.

"Master Shen, please don't mind. It's my fault for not being able to teach my daughter well. I was blind and offended you. Please forgive me!"

Mrs. Fan was so frightened that she was shaking all over. She fell to her knees with a bang, her face full of panic.

Although the Fan family is a family of scholars and is well-known in the capital, her husband is a bastard of the Fan family.

The biological mother of this illegitimate son was the maid who came with the mistress as a dowry, and she served the old marquis when the mistress gave birth to a son.

By chance she became pregnant and was promoted to concubine, but unfortunately she was unlucky and died after giving birth to a son.

If it weren't for the careful care of another maidservant who came with her as a dowry, it would be a mystery whether her husband could grow up. It is said that she was forced to live in her hometown in the countryside, leading a precarious life. Later, it was because the old lady wanted to marry her but didn't want her own son to marry her.

Only then did they bring him back home. The couple lived a very difficult life in the mansion, and finally waited for their son to pass the imperial examination.

The couple was counting on their son to start his own business, but who knew that their son would faint in the examination room...

"Aunt, please stand up. Only if the cousin of the Fan family apologizes to Lord Shen, I believe Lord Shen will not hold a grudge against a little girl!"

Wen Qingwan stepped forward and helped her trembling aunt up. Her husband was frowning in a bad mood, and she didn't want him to be unhappy.

"Who do you think you are? If you want me to apologize, just say..."

Before Fan Shiliu could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xiao Jin, "She is my wife, and I listen to her. What a nonsense."

"Wow! My brother-in-law is so awesome, and I'm so happy." Su Xiaomin squeezed out of the crowd and shouted.

A man like her brother-in-law would definitely be a domineering president in modern times!

Xiao Jin was pleased by Su Xiaomin's shouting voice, "Grandma, please go to Yingchun Hall with your aunt first, we will go down to see you later."

"Okay." The old lady of the Xiao family only said this one word from beginning to end, because she always knew how to put herself in the right position.

So she didn't live a hard life. Even though the old lady of the Fan family was very powerful in the Fan family, her life might not be as comfortable as hers.

Xiao Yi gave a look and several sisters immediately stepped forward and dragged the crying Fan Shiliu away.

The old man and the old lady who came with the old lady also left.

Wen Qingwan saw that the atmosphere was a bit awkward. She was not very good at adjusting the atmosphere, so she could only leave for a while.

"Excuse me, everyone. To express my apology, I will ask the kitchen to prepare two more fresh dishes tonight."

"Sister, go and do your work. I'm here!" Su Xiaomin was not very good at adjusting the atmosphere, but for her sister, she tried her best.

"Haha...Min'er, did you have fun today? Come to grandpa quickly." Duke Su laughed happily when he saw his granddaughter.

"Grandfather, are you enjoying your drink today? This wine is brewed by the sons of the Xiao family using rice they planted themselves..."

Su Xiaomin trotted up to her grandfather and started talking a lot, and the atmosphere of Changshou Hall was restored.

Wen Qingwan was about to arrange the dishes, and Xiao Jin followed her closely. When they walked out of Changshou Hall, Xiao Jin asked in a low voice, "Wanwan wants to invite your aunt back to live with you?"

"I don't have any plans for now. I originally wanted to take my aunt and her family out of the Fan Mansion, but my cousin is in such a state that it's too much trouble."

Wen Qingwan looked at Fan Shiliu's back, thinking about her character, and combined with her aunt's thoughts, she could roughly guess the character of the old lady of the Fan family.

“My dear, I finally understand why General Fan was reluctant to tell his mother about marrying off his daughter.

If Old Madam Fan knew about this, my second brother and Yu Huan’s marriage might not be possible! "

“How come you see?”

"Fan Shiliu has been with Old Madam Fan since she was a child, so she naturally learned the old lady's virtues.

Madam Fan is arrogant, and Fan Shiliu is arrogant because Fan Shiliu is following in her footsteps. "

The old lady of the Fan family, whom Wen Qingwan and her husband were discussing, was rushing towards Marquis Weiwu with a large group of people.
