Salted Fish Lady Loves to Eat Melons

Chapter 40 The Tragic Old Lady Yun

When Old Lady Yun heard Matchmaker Wang praising Xiao Libo, she was so angry that she covered her chest with her hands for a while before she calmed down.

"Matchmaker Wang, you also know that he cannot be described in words, right? Let me tell you, his mother is a snob who likes to take advantage of others. How can her son be any better!"

Matchmaker Wang saw that Madam Yun’s face was pale and it didn’t look fake.

She thought to herself: Could it be that I really saw it wrong? Why did I make the old lady of the Yun family so angry?

However, Matchmaker Wang still had to defend herself. After all, the second son of the Marquis's Mansion was handsome and had all his limbs intact.

The Marquis's Mansion is a bit poor, but the cruel and inhumane prince can marry the beautiful eldest daughter of the Wen family.

Why can't the second young master, whose smile is as warm as the morning sun, marry the concubine's daughter of the Shangshu Mansion?
So Matchmaker Wang said in a bad tone: "Madam, in our Great Sheng Dynasty, we have always valued matching families of equal status.

The second son of the Marquis's family is more than suitable to marry the illegitimate daughter of your Shangshu's family. If the old lady refuses to marry her granddaughter because of prejudice.

Then the second son of the Marquis's house is too wronged. Look at the appearance of the Marquis's wife. Is her temperament comparable to that of the young lady of the Yun Mansion?"

Yun Anan, who had just come in, heard what Matchmaker Wang said, and the happy smile on her face instantly disappeared.

Especially when she saw Xiao Libo kneeling in front of her grandmother, Yun Anan felt that the people in the Marquis' Mansion allowed her to bully them as before.

So, she walked towards Wen Qingwan without caring about her relatives, and found that she was even more beautiful than herself.

Yun Anan's brows were furrowed in jealousy, and her eyes were as cold as ice. "Who are you? How dare you act wildly in our Yun Mansion?"

Wen Qingwan: ………

It seemed like she didn't do anything just now!
But she didn't want to argue with a little girl, so she pretended not to see the arrogant girl in front of her.

Seeing that Wen Qingwan ignored her, Yun Anan approached Wen Qingwan step by step, as if every step was filled with infinite anger in her heart.

Two steps away from Wen Qingwan, Yun Anan stopped and pointed at Wen Qingwan, "You, kneel down for me."

"Who are you? Even if the Minister is here, I don't need to bow or kneel. Why? Are you more impressive than your grandfather?"

"What I hate most in my life is people pointing at me." Wen Qingwan said as she broke Yun Anan's fingers with a click.

She said calmly: "Your grandfather was a minister, but you were not. You have no title or imperial edict, and you have no achievements.

"You have done nothing for the country, and you are a nobody. You want me to kneel before you? Have you not woken up from the dream that started too early today?"

"Ouch, grandma, save me, my granddaughter's finger is broken." Yun Anan's forehead was covered with sweat because of the pain in her fingers.

It is also possible that he was frightened by Wen Qingwan's words and aura, and could only cry and ask Madam Yun for help.

“This lady dares to kneel before you today, but tomorrow the whole of Shangjing City will know that the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion is tyrannical.

Force the Marquis's wife to kneel down to her. Within a day, the news will spread throughout the palace. Miss Yun, this lady dares to kneel down, do you dare to accept it?"

Yun Anan's face looked extremely ugly and she didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"If you dare, I will kneel down." As she said this, Wen Qingwan pretended to kneel down.

"You, you are not allowed to kneel!" Yun Anan shouted arrogantly. At this moment, she was so scared by Wen Qingwan that she was sweating coldly.

"Madam Hou, I am ignorant and have offended you. I would like to apologize to you here."

The eldest lady of the Shangshu Mansion was about to kneel down, but Wen Qingwan stopped her with her hand.

"This is the territory of your Shangshu Mansion. Whoever you want to order to kneel will have to kneel. Now you want to kneel before me, but I don't want to accept it." She spoke in a cold tone and glanced at Xiao Libo who was kneeling in the middle of the hall. Madam Yun was so scared that her face turned pale.

"Please stand up quickly, Second Young Master." Old Madam Yun said as she stood up herself and helped Xiao Libo up from the ground.

Her husband has always hated women who are spoiled and self-righteous, and he usually complains about her way of disciplining her children.

If he knew that his granddaughter An An had offended the noble Marquis' wife, then...

Madam Yun said kindly, "Bo'er, grandma doesn't have any other intentions. As long as Jiao Niang is willing, grandma will be 100% happy to do it."

Xiao Libo resisted the urge to roll his eyes. If it weren’t for the fact that his sister-in-law was so powerful, would the old lady have agreed?

It was a blessing that she didn't chase him away with a stick, and she even smiled at him so kindly, which was something she had never seen before.

But he smiled and said, "Thank you, old lady, for helping me and Jiao Niang. Li Bo is very grateful."

Matchmaker Wang saw that Madam Yun was glaring at her the moment before, but now she was holding the second young master's hand and smiling kindly.

So she spoke with three parts of complaint and seven parts of grievance, "Old Madam Yun, please don't blame me for being too talkative, I came here today for the good of the Yun family.

You also know that the second young master is handsome and comes from a marquisate, so if a young lady marries him, she will be like a phoenix flying up the tree."

As for you, you should have been more tactful a long time ago, but Matchmaker Wang didn't say this to your face.

Listening to what Matchmaker Wang said, Xiao Libo couldn't help laughing out loud: "Haha..."

"........."

Old Madam Yun was almost about to break her teeth. She only gave birth to one son and one daughter in her life, and her son worked in the Hanlin Academy.

Her daughter married the second son of the Duke of Anguo, and all her children were promising, so she became more tolerant towards the illegitimate sons and daughters in the mansion.

But the illegitimate sons and daughters of the Yun family are all ugly, the upper beam is crooked, and the lower beam is crooked.

Especially the illegitimate daughter who married Marquis Cheng'en as a concubine. Her aunt was originally the master's foot-washing maid. She climbed into bed with the master when he was drunk and got a daughter.

Old Madam Yun helped her choose a man of ordinary family background to be her principal wife, but she insisted on marrying Marquis Cheng'en as a concubine.

At that time, the Yun family was just a minor official of the fifth rank, while Marquis Cheng'en was a first rank marquis, so they were not a good match.

Her biological daughter married into the Anguo Mansion with a generous dowry. In order to prevent her concubine's daughter from accusing her of being biased, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and give her most of the Yun family's property as a dowry.

But she had no idea that within a few years, she had eaten up all her dowry. It was all gone in just a few years!
Even the people in the Yun Mansion didn’t eat that much!

She brought her children back to the Yun Mansion to beg for money, eating and taking things. Her children, in particular, looked like starving ghosts reincarnated.

How could she marry her illegitimate granddaughter to him!
Let them get married, and then give birth to a bunch of people who like to take advantage and come back to cause trouble for the Yun Mansion!
No matter how much blood relationship there was, it would disappear under the concubine's demands. What's more, she had no blood relationship with the concubine at all.

Ever since the master became the minister, he has become more and more concerned about his reputation and ordered her to be tolerant of illegitimate sons and daughters.

Family affection does not become closer by blindly tolerating others. Only when family affection is within a limit can one live freely. Tolerating others blindly is a torture to oneself.

Old Madam Yun didn't understand this logic. She only knew that she had been exhausted by that concubine's daughter throughout her life.

Just want to stay away from her.

However, her own granddaughter had offended the marquis's wife, so she had no choice but to grit her teeth and agree to the marriage.

That would be a bottomless pit, endless. Why is her life so miserable?
