Chapter 454: Chapter 454 I’ll tear your mouth apart!
Qiao Changshun quickly waved his hand to explain, “No, mother, you’ve misunderstood. Xiaomai was injured on those occasions, and Sanlang had no choice but to carry her for treatment.”
“Anyway, everyone saw Xiaomai getting close to Sanlang, now she can only marry him.” Zhang Family’s matriarch scoffed.
Hearing this, Hua Xiaofeng promptly turned her anger towards her, “What vulgar nonsense! My Xiaomai is pure and innocent! Don’t you dare tarnish her reputation!”
“Take a look at yourself before making such claims. My Xiaomai cooked for the Emperor! What is your son to her? He’s a toad desiring the meat of a swan, I spit!” Hua Xiaofeng hurled a mouthful of spit towards the matriarch.
“I’m warning you, if you dare to ruin Xiaomai’s reputation again, I’ll go to the academy and report you to the headmaster!”
In Hua Xiaofeng’s eyes, Xiaomai’s worth skyrocketed overnight like a firework.
Having cooked for the Emperor and acquainted with two princes, on top of her culinary skills, such qualifications made Xiaomai a prime marriage candidate even for an official.
Now, this beggar of a woman from the Zhang Family dared to link her son with Xiaomai. This was unacceptable!
Zhuang Luhe’s flight would undoubtedly damage Xiaomai’s reputation, and now this shrew from the Zhang’s was slandering her further. If these rumors are not curtailed, how could Xiaomai marry into a respectable family?!
The better Xiaomai marries, the more benefits she stands to gain!
This matter must be clarified today!
At Hua Xiaofeng’s outburst, Xiaomai, who was holding the food box, puckered her lips. Qiao Changshun rubbed his large hands together, stammering, wanting to explain but not knowing what to say.
From the woman’s perspective, this matter was certainly damaging to her reputation.
Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang had mutual affection, but since the Tong family had not proposed marriage, he could not say anything.
The silence from the Qiao Family was met with fury from the Zhang Family’s matriarch.
Being the daughter-in-law of Village Chief Tong Tiehu, she had been in Anping Village for decades and nobody dare to talk to her like this, and now a lunatic out of nowhere dared to insult her!
She stomped her foot, cursing fiercely, “It was Xiaomai who seduced my son first! If you don’t believe me, go ask Xiaomai yourself!”
“What utter rubbish! Xiaomai couldn’t even look strangers in the eye before, it’s clearly your son who saw her looks and high status and deliberately tricked her with sweet talk!” Hua Xiaofeng shouted back, “Talk nonsense one more time, I dare you, I’ll rip your stinking mouth apart!”
“Let me remind you, just because you’re the daughter-in-law of the Village Chief doesn’t mean you can tarnish others’ reputations at will. If you dare say one more word, I’ll swell your filthy mouth!”
With these threats coming from her mouth, Hua Xiaofeng arrogantly took a few steps towards Zhang Family’s matriarch.
Having never dealt with such a brazen woman, the matriarch instinctively took a step back in fear.
Hua Xiaofeng, like a victorious general, held her head higher and shot a triumphant look at the matriarch, snorting heavily.
Left shaking from anger, the matriarch was completely helpless.
Xiaomai quickly packed up the dishes into the food box. She didn’t have a food box before, this one was brought by Yang Ye for Yang Wenxiao, and now it was coming in handy.
After packing a whole table of food into two big food boxes and a basket full of steamed buns, Xiaomai turned to the matriarch with a beaming smile, “Auntie, don’t be angry. Come, I’ll walk you home.”
