Salted Fish Lady Loves to Eat Melons

Chapter 234: The Toad Eats the Swan Meat and Still Doesn't Know What's Good for It

No one in the Zhenxi Marquis Mansion had ever dared to contradict Old Madam Fan, but now she saw a group of people of lower status than her sneering and mocking her with disdain.

She finally couldn't stand it anymore and rushed to the old man of the Xia family and angrily shouted, "The Xia family is really shameless.

Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you are in the Marquis of Cheng'en's mansion? Why don't you take a piss and look in the mirror to see if your daughter from the Xia family is worthy of the handsome old marquis?"

"Sister Su, how can you say that to me?" Old Madam Xiao asked somewhat unhappily.

Old Master Xia frowned and looked at the old lady who made his sister unhappy. Although she was over sixty years old, she was still energetic.

On that plump face, one can still see the beautiful features of her youth. Could it be that she also admires her brother-in-law? !

Their Xia family has never benefited from their brother-in-law. Instead, their Xia family was almost dragged down by him.

The old lady's voice is deep and powerful, and she is full of energy. Her current status should be no lower than that of his sister!
But so what?
What's so special about us being relatives?

With Mr. Xia's identity, he really didn't know Mrs. Fan. He only knew that the person in front of him was his niece's mother-in-law.

So he snorted and retorted bluntly: "What a joke, who said that our Xia family is climbing up the social ladder?
At that time, everyone in the capital knew that the old Marquis Cheng'en was ruthlessly abandoned by his childhood sweetheart, so he knelt down and begged our Xia family's daughter to be his wife.

As for whether or not he is worthy of her, you don’t need to worry about it. If you want to know, go to the underworld and ask the old Marquis Cheng’en himself.”

"..." Madam Fan, who had ruthlessly abandoned her childhood sweetheart, didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Humph! Even if our Xia family is not worthy of the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion, the old marquis came to propose marriage in person because my sister is the most famous person in the capital."

Mr. Xia San also said proudly: "My sister attracted countless noble families back then. Even if Gao married the old marquis, the couple could still live in harmony and have a deep love for each other."

Seeing that the noble lady was speechless, Aunt Xia said disdainfully, "I'm sure people of our age know what the Cheng'en Marquis's mansion was like back then. It was already in ruins at that time."

"No matter how dilapidated the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion is, you Xia family members cannot slander it! You are so ungrateful, like a toad eating swan meat and still not knowing what is good for you. You really don't know what you mean."

Old Madam Fan was so angry at the Xia siblings that her lips trembled and her old eyes turned red with anger.

However, no one present cared about Madam Fan's anger. As they ate the Xiao family's delicious meal, they had to speak up for Madam Xiao.

"Sister, don't say the grapes are sour because you can't eat them. We all know the story between the old marquis and Miss Xia."

"Yes, yes. Now that I think about it, I still envy the old lady from the Xia family for being favored by the old marquis."

When hearing someone talking about the past, everyone present showed envy.

Some who didn't know asked curiously, "According to what you said, those rumors from more than 40 years ago were all true?"

"It's true. Although the sister of the Xia family is not as beautiful as the daughter of the Su family, she is pure and beautiful, and her character is gentle and virtuous. She is very favored by the old marquis."

"Yes, I also envied Sister Xia at that time. I didn't expect that she would marry the old marquis and become his only legitimate wife!"

As everyone talked, they began to express their feelings, and it seemed that they were expressing their envy sincerely.

"Thank you for your compliments. The old marquis is really good, but I am not blessed enough..."

Old Madam Xiao, who was surrounded by everyone, paused here, with a hint of embarrassment in her eyes.

Talk about harmonious marriage and deep love between mandarin ducks are all just everyone's imagination.

The real relationship between her and the drunkard was one of affection and indifference.

They never lit the lights when they were together, and the drunkard never looked at her straight in the eye. As long as she didn't say anything, no one would know, because the drunkard was drunk every day and wouldn't explain.

At that time, Fu often attended various banquets of aristocratic families. The drunkard was particularly good at pretending, especially when he saw his beloved, he was particularly gentle to her.

When Old Madam Xiao saw that Old Madam Fan's face became even gloomier after hearing what everyone said.

The light in her eyes changed, full of danger, but no one knew why she didn't explode. It seemed as if she was trying her best to endure it.

Seeing the other party was angry but dared not speak, Old Madam Xiao felt extremely happy. Even a clay person would get angry.

Besides, the drunkard is gone, why should she be afraid of her!
So she smiled and said, "What makes me most proud are the grandchildren of me and the old marquis. Everyone come and sit down and taste our family's food."

"Madam Xiao is too modest. Everyone knows that Marquis Weiwu is the God of War of our Dasheng."

"Oh! Not to mention the god-like figure of Weiwu Hou, the pork we ate today was especially delicious. It is said that it was raised by Xiao Jia Erlang himself."

"I heard that the brocade I'm wearing was made by Fourth Young Master Xiao himself. It's amazing!"

"........."

Everyone praised Brother Xiao Jin again before rushing to sit down and eat.

Madam Xiao gave the main seat to Madam Fan, but Madam Fan didn't want to sit there.

Everyone here dared to give her a cold shoulder, but there were two people who didn't dare to do so, and they were Madam Fan Er and Fan Shiliu.

"Grandma, please take a seat." Fan Shiliu diligently helped her grandmother to sit at the seat of honor at another table.

Mrs. Fan, who was filled with rage, was looking angrily at the group of people in front of her who looked as if they had not eaten delicious food for eight hundred years.

Her eyes seemed to be spitting fire and her mouth was tightly pursed, showing that she was extremely dissatisfied with everyone.

However, at this moment, tempting aromas wafted over, making her turn her head to look at the dining table filled with a variety of dishes.

The dishes looked delicious, and each one was mouth-watering.

There were steaming braised pork, tempting braised fish, and many other dishes she had never seen before...

Old Madam Fan couldn't help but drool as she watched, and the anger in her heart seemed to be instantly diluted by these delicious foods.

She suppressed her anger and followed her granddaughter to the dining table, sat at the seat of honor and looked at each dish carefully.

She could feel her stomach growling, as if calling her to try some of these delicacies.

The person who had just been arguing with her was now wolfing down the food without caring about his image.

Old Madam Fan despised them in her heart, but her eyes gradually changed from anger to desire.

Gao Ao sat there without moving, but signaled with her eyes to the maid beside her to help her serve the food.

Even though she had been living a life of luxury since childhood, she couldn't stop eating the Xiao family's food, but she ate elegantly.

General Fan, who was at a farm outside the city, heard from his personal guards that his mother had fought with the Xiao family guards, along with a dozen of his personal guards.

According to the personal guards, the old lady seemed to know that her daughter was marrying the second son of the Xiao family. He mounted his horse and hurried towards the Xiao Mansion.
