Salted Fish Lady Loves to Eat Melons

Chapter 49: Xiao's father's fate

"Sixteenth sister, is the food today particularly delicious? Why are you staring at my eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law with such strange eyes?"

Xiao Jinting asked quietly. Her voice was very low, but Wen Qingwan still heard it.

She had felt a strong gaze before, but she didn't care. There were only two kinds of people in the Marquis' Mansion, either grateful to her or hated her.

When Wen Qingwan heard someone speak, she looked up and saw Xiao Jinying gritting her teeth.

No wonder the girls around her said that she had strange eyes. Xiao Jinying knew how to control her expressions at a young age, and her face did not look ferocious.

"Eat your meal well, what are you mumbling about?" Xiao Jin warned her stepsister's table impatiently.

Everyone was afraid of him, so no one dared to speak until the meal was over.

Suddenly there was a bang at the door, and everyone trembled with fear.

Everyone looked towards the door, only to see a fat woman weighing about 200 pounds rushing in with a group of people.

Everyone in the Xiao family looked at each other, and finally turned their gaze to their eldest brother and sister-in-law.

Xiao Jin and Wen Qingwan looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes. They didn't understand why these people came to them.

Wen Qingwan, the mistress of the house, stood up and asked politely, "Excuse me, everyone..."

She was interrupted before she could finish her words.

The 200-pound fat woman pointed at Father Xiao and angrily cursed, "You liar, you said a month ago that you liked me and that you were different, and that you wanted to come to my house and ask me to be your concubine."

Father Xiao opened his lips to say something, but was met with his eldest son's terrifying and chilling gaze.

He lowered his head guiltily and didn't look at the fat man who was an eyesore. He didn't want him to worry about anything in the mansion recently.

Originally he could have lived a comfortable life, but this fat woman came to his house again and again.

It was all because of Mrs. Xiao Wang who told him tearfully that her dowry had been eaten up long ago and she could no longer maintain a normal life in the mansion.

So he set his sights on the second daughter of the richest businessman in the capital, but no one was willing to marry her because she ate too well and was too fat.

In order to prevent the marquis's family from starving to death, he endured the nausea and went to get to know the fat woman. After more than a month of flirting, the fish finally took the bait.

However, seeing that his eldest son and daughter-in-law had already supported the family, Xiao's father did not want to continue dealing with that ugly and fat woman.

He stays in the mansion all day and never goes out. There are concubines everywhere in the mansion, including all kinds of beauties.

But who knew that the fat guy would dare to come to the door. Xiao's father regretted it so much, and was afraid that his eldest daughter-in-law would kick him out of the house!

Wen Qingwan saw that Father Xiao looked strange and knew that the fat woman in front of her was not lying.

But the fat woman just interrupted her, which made her very unhappy and she didn't want to do as she wished.

If she is still as cautious and careful as before and always puts others first in this life, then why should she live again?
"Someone, come and capture the scoundrel who dared to trespass into the Marquis of Weiwu's Mansion." Wen Qingwan shouted with full of aura.

Her beautiful facial features, coupled with her extremely cold aura, formed a huge contrast that made everyone tremble.

"You...you...why are you being unreasonable?" The fat woman pointed at Wen Qingwan with trembling fingers. She hated pretty women the most in her life.

"Who are you? Do I need to reason with you? Do you want to get out of here or do we throw you out?"

Wen Qingwan knew that this was an evil fate caused by Xiao's father. If this girl was pretty, it could be called a romantic debt.

Wen Qingwan was very familiar with the second daughter of the Ye family. The eldest daughter of the eldest brother of the Ye family married the prince as a concubine.

In her previous life, Ye Liangdi bullied Wen Qingwan a lot, and even this fat man would take the opportunity to bully her when he had the chance to enter the East Palace. Even when she became the queen, she did not dare to touch the Ye family in order to fill the national treasury.

She was devoted to the country, did not engage in corruption, did not accept bribes, did not form cliques for personal gain, and did not bend the law for personal gain. Yet in the end, she died a miserable death!
Now she thought about how useless she was in her previous life. Now that this opportunity to get beaten up was right in front of her, how could Wen Qingwan let it go!

Although it happened in the previous life, it did exist after all. Wen Qingwan suddenly wanted to take over the Ye family's business.

After all, among the men in the Xiao family, some are good at doing business. For example, Xiao Jinying's brother is sixteen years old this year, the thirteenth in the order of thirteen, and his grandfather is a wealthy man.

The Cheng'en Marquisate was a well-known impoverished family in the capital, although all of their ancestors were mighty generals.

However, eighty years ago, the old Duke led troops to war, but was defeated and injured. He was stripped of his military power because he was responsible for the defeat at Yulan Pass.

As a result, the Xiao family was abandoned by the previous emperor, and the title was reduced to Marquis Cheng'en. The old Marquis Cheng'en was neither talented in literature nor in martial arts, and the Xiao family fell into decline.

When the fat woman saw the beautiful woman was about to throw her out, she was so angry that her fat body was shaking.

She looked straight at Father Xiao, trying her best to open her eyes wide and said, "My Lord, are you really so cruel that you don't want me anymore?

Look, the Hetian jade bracelet I'm wearing is the same as the hairpin your husband wears, both are engraved with auspicious cloud patterns."

Old Madam Xiao looked at the jade hairpin on her son's head and then at the jade bracelet on the fat woman's hand, and her face changed.

Although her son did nothing, he did his best for the survival of the Xiao family!

How could you even eat such stuff!

Instead of enjoying the good life now, she actually still misses the jade hairpin and wears it on her head!

Old Madam Xiao glared at Xiao's father fiercely: Either you marry her or don't let your eldest grandson kick you out of the Marquis' Mansion!

Father Xiao was about to agree with tears in his eyes, but he saw his children followed the fat woman's words and looked at Xiao Jin's head first.

Wen Qingwan pointed at Xiao Jin's head and said sarcastically, "Look, is that a jade hairpin my husband is wearing?"

"The lady is talking about the Marquis, yes..." The fat woman was interrupted by Xiao Libo before she could finish her words.

"My eldest brother is the Marquis. This is the Weiwu Marquis's Mansion. Fat Auntie, did you go to the wrong door?"

"That's right, my second brother is right, our eldest brother is Marquis Weiwu, and our father is just Master Xiao."

"..."

The Xiao brothers also didn't like having a fat woman as their aunt. Just looking at her would affect their appetite, not to mention that their eldest sister-in-law was so weak.

At this moment, Xiao Jin saw that the jade hairpin on his father's head and the jade bracelet on the fat woman's hand actually had exactly the same pattern.

During the Dasheng Dynasty, there was a popular custom of using the same piece of jade to carve accessories with the same pattern as a token of love, implying unity and love for each other.

Therefore, many couples choose to wear accessories with the same pattern to tell others that their love is stronger than gold.

He also personally carved two jade bracelets and a jade hairpin with identical patterns. The jade bracelet was naturally given to his maid, and the jade hairpin was for himself.

He didn't wait for the right opportunity to give it to her, so he never wore the hairpin.

"Why are you talking to an outsider? Get out of here right now." Xiao Jin ordered ruthlessly.

He didn't want to help his father, but this fat man was someone his little girl didn't like and he absolutely could not enter the Marquis' Mansion.

"Just wait for me." The fat woman screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
