Salted Fish Lady Loves to Eat Melons

Chapter 44 Yun Jiaoniang makes a choice
"Sir, do you also think my sister-in-law is amazing?" Xiao Lidong asked proudly, raising his little head.

"Well, I also think that your sister-in-law is talented. Whose son are you?" Minister Yun asked Xiao Lidong with a smile on his face.

He looked at the girl in front of him with her clear and cold eyes, as if she was a fairy who was not of this world.

I was wondering which boy had such good vision to marry such a beautiful girl.

Then he heard his useless grandson say, "Meet the Shangshu Lord, she is our sister-in-law."

Xiao Libo bowed to Minister Yun with a complicated expression. When his aunt was alive, he and his mother often went to the Minister's Mansion.

Whenever he saw Minister Yun, he would call him grandpa. Since his aunt passed away, he rarely came to the Minister's Mansion.

If he didn't want to marry a beautiful woman, he really didn't want to set foot in the Shangshu Mansion even once, as he would have to accept the looks of everyone in the Yun Mansion every time.

"Hmm? Are you the wife of Marquis Weiwu?" It's a pity that Minister Yun didn't say the latter part of this sentence to her face.

But his tone was full of regret when he spoke, especially his eyes.

This puzzled Wen Qingwan, but she still answered politely, "Well, this lady has met the Minister."

She said this calmly, and then without looking back, she led her stepsiblings into the carriage.

Minister Yun looked at Wen Qingwan's back and felt regretful. If only he had known earlier that there was such a beauty in Minister Wen's mansion.

He would definitely go and propose marriage for his eldest grandson, and that crippled Marquis Weiwu would definitely not be given to him!

Marquis Weiwu only had an empty title and was not a military general that the emperor relied on. Although he had outstanding military achievements, he had no military power.

What's more, he is disabled now, how can he be worthy of the fairy-like girl in front of him!
Whenever Minister Yun saw that brutal and cruel young general, his legs would tremble.

His thin lips were always pursed into a sharp line, his eyes looked like they were frozen in ice, and even his eyebrows carried a cold murderous intent.

Minister Yun looked at Wen Qingwan's carriage, his heart filled with regret for this beautiful and talented girl.

She actually married that murderous, cold-blooded and cruel evil ghost.

Minister Yun, who was full of regret, did not ask Xiao Libo why he came to their house. He walked into the hall of the Yun Mansion in a bad mood.

He saw his wife, eldest daughter-in-law, eldest grandson, and unmarried granddaughters all sitting there with depressed looks on their faces.

Minister Yun's mood instantly became worse. He asked loudly and impatiently, "What's wrong with you?"

"Master, today the second son of the Xiao family asked matchmaker Wang and Madam Hou to come to our Yun Mansion to propose marriage to Jiao Niang." Old Madam Yun said cautiously.

"How dare that evil creature come here? You should just kick him out. Even dogs hate the people of the Xiao family who mess things up."

When Madam Yun heard her husband's words, her heart instantly calmed down, and she was about to call her eldest daughter-in-law to arrange for someone to set the table.

"What? The wife of Marquis Weiwu came to our Yun Mansion in person to propose marriage?" Minister Yun asked in surprise.

"Yes, grandfather. I think that marquis' wife is extremely talented." The eldest grandson of the Yun family said admiringly.

"How is your talent so outstanding? Tell grandfather." Minister Yun said after taking a sip of tea.

The eldest grandson of the Yun family eloquently recounted what happened in the morning, and finally told his grandfather the words that Wen Qingwan taught Xiao Libo without missing a word. Minister Yun remained calm when he heard it, but his heart was in turmoil. His An An actually wanted the wife of the King of Hell to kneel down to her!

Fortunately, the beautiful lady didn't bother with her.

"Jiao Niang, didn't you cry and shout that you wanted to marry your cousin before? Why are you unwilling to do so today?"

"To answer grandfather's question, my cousin said that after he gets married, he will take his granddaughter to the farm to raise pigs." Yun Jiaoniang said aggrievedly.

"What's wrong with raising pigs? Raising pigs is also considered self-reliant. At least he won't be idle in the future."

Yun Jiaoniang stared at her grandfather in amazement. After a while, she screamed sharply, "Grandfather actually thinks that his granddaughter is only worthy of raising pigs?"

Everyone in the Yun family looked at their grandfather in disbelief. Even though Yun Jiaoniang was a concubine of the Yun family, she wouldn't marry a pig farmer, right?
"Jiao Niang, you are almost eighteen years old and already an old maid. Your grandmother and aunt have helped you find many families in the past few years.

But you don't like any of them, and you said you only want to marry your cousin. Today your grandmother agreed, but you don't want to do it. Tell grandfather, who do you want to marry?"

Minister Yun stared at Yun Jiaoniang with a stern gaze. It was not luck that got him to the position of minister.

He had long known that his granddaughter was ambitious, and the person she wanted to marry had always been the prince of Cheng'en Marquisate.

She used his stupid grandson as a shield and treated them all as fools. The only reason he didn't point it out was because that devil didn't even look at her.

He and his wife think differently. His wife has always been unwilling to let Jiao Niang marry Li Bo because she is afraid that they will continue to come to the Yun Mansion to ask for money.

But he was not afraid of this. How much could two children eat?
But he would never allow the daughter of the Yun family to covet the other family's eldest brother after she got married, so he took a broom and beat the stupid grandson out.

"Grandfather, I want to marry Marquis Weiwu." Yun Jiaoniang could only grit her teeth as her grandfather stared at her.

"Jiao Niang, you disappoint grandpa so much. Grandpa never dreamed that you would be such a fickle person!" Minister Yun pretended to be extremely disappointed.

“Jiaojiao, tell grandfather quickly that you are not a fickle person.” Yun Mubai said anxiously, pulling his sister’s arm.

Their aunt came from a brothel and was not liked by their grandparents. If their younger sister was considered by their grandfather to be a fickle person.

Then would grandfather think that they inherited their aunt's nature and that he was also a fickle person?

"Grandfather, I'm definitely not a fickle person. I've only liked Prince Xiao from the beginning to the end." Yun Jiaoniang was ashamed.

But Minister Yun refused to believe it, "Jiao Niang, if you admit that you are fickle, Grandfather will still look upon you with respect."

"But you dare not admit it, and even involve the Marquis Weiwu. To put it bluntly, you just look down on your cousin who raises pigs.

People who admit that they are not excellent will work harder in the future. But people like you who only make excuses when encountering problems and never look for reasons in yourself are hopeless.

Grandfather is going to say this today. It is impossible to marry into the Xiao family. You can either agree to your grandmother's help in finding a date for you, or go up the mountain and become a nun."

"Please ask grandma and aunt to help Jiao Niang find a blind date." After weighing the pros and cons, Yun Jiao Niang had to make a choice.

"Jiao Niang should have thought so earlier. You are beautiful and well-read. Your aunt has found several young talents for you."

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Yun family smiled and said that as long as her father-in-law did not vent his anger on An An, everything would be fine.
