Chapter 1058: Surface Friendship is a Taboo!

od that I didn't make a mistake.""No, no, the county princess's handling of this is very appropriate! These shopkeepers are like stubborn donkeys, unwilling to budge even when beaten. We need to repri...Mrs. Feng waited in the carriage for a long time, becoming increasingly impatient.

Although there was an ice tub at home, she didn't want to use it when she came out.

This year, the drought is severe, and the heat is intense. Water is scarce, and ice even more so.

The price that used to buy three cars of ice now only buys one.

It's no wonder that the iced drinks at Baiyunjian are selling so well!

When she mentioned the white clouds, her heart burned even hotter.

If today's matters succeed, perhaps Baiyun will change her surname to something else in the future.

This great hero of hers, if she were to get a one or two percent bonus... wouldn't that be too much to ask

Just as she was dreaming sweet dreams, the car door finally opened. The matron personally helped her mistress out of the car and whispered, “Madam, Young Mistress Li invites you in. She made you wait for so long, this Young Mistress truly doesn't understand etiquette.”

Mrs. Feng was also displeased, but she still stopped her daughter-in-law's words, warning, "Shut up, be obedient today, or if you mess things up, I'll skin you alive when we get back!"

The midwife immediately shrank her neck, respectfully holding the gift, and followed her mistress into the side gate of the Earl's mansion.

The person who greeted them was Wan'er's attendant, Wanqiu. She had been bought into the Li family later.

At first, she was only responsible for sewing, but because she was meticulous and quiet, she was promoted to a senior maidservant by Wan'er. She was given an additional task: managing her mistress's clothes and jewelry.

Just then, Chunxiu went to the storeroom to organize things. She was then assigned to greet the guests.

Madam Feng politely declined and followed Wanqiu all the way to the inner courtyard, where they sat in the small flower hall for tea.

She couldn't help but carefully examine the surroundings, seeing that everything was understated yet extraordinary. A flicker of excitement appeared in her eyes.

Soon, Wan'er changed into a visitor's dress and walked in.

"Mrs. Feng, what brings you out today The weather is so hot, even my aunt, who wanted to visit, hasn't come yet."

This sounds intimate, but in reality, it's questioning why Mrs. Feng would come to her own home at such a turbulent time!

The key was that the Earl's Mansion shut its doors to guests, but Madam Feng still insisted on delivering a post, relying on the face of Mrs. Jia Er.

But neither of Jia's wives came to visit, yet this outsider is so brazen!

Mrs. Feng did not expect Wan'er to be so impolite. She felt embarrassed and very unhappy, but she still managed to hold back and replied, “The weather is indeed hot, but we can't just ignore our duties because of the heat.”

Mrs. Feng took a sip of tea, pondered her words for a moment, and then said, "Wan'er, although you are married now, you are still a daughter of the Xing family. My aunt and your aunt are sisters-in-law, so we are considered peers. You should call me sister-in-law."

"As a family, we understand each other's hardships. Your sister-in-law knows that coming to the Earl's residence hasn't been easy for you, so when good news came my way, I immediately thought of you."

"As long as you succeed, in the future, everyone in the Li family will be grateful to you, and your life will definitely be better."

When Wan'er heard this, she didn't seem too fazed. However, Madam Feng became quite agitated speaking about it.

She stared intently at Wan'er, waiting for Wan'er to excitedly and gratefully ask questions.

Wan'er remained silent for a long while, not knowing what to say.

Superficiality in communication is a major faux pas.

Doesn't Madam Feng know this

They were just making polite conversation, exchanging a few pleasantries. They weren't any closer than strangers.

Now, this Mrs. Feng keeps saying she's doing it for my own good, acting like a great hero.

Did you leave your brain at home

She was too impatient to beat around the bush any longer, and asked directly, "Mrs. Feng, what brings you here today Have Madam Jia and my aunt known about your visit"

Mrs. Feng's blood ran cold, and she almost choked on her own fury.

She took a long pause before getting straight to the point. "I'm here with good news! Sister Xing, my sister-in-law from my husband's family is a girl from the Chen family's branch."

Speaking of the Chen family, you probably don't know them. They are the clan of Minister Chen from the Ministry of Personnel. Chen's second cousin has a son who is 24 years old this year. He has already passed the Xiucai exam and is preparing for the next big exam.

This young master Chen is handsome and debonair, with a courteous manner; he is a rare good man indeed.

He used to bury his head in books, but now he's still unmarried. Recently, his family has been trying to find him a good match, and they asked me for help. I immediately thought of our county princess!

Although our family isn't as well-off, the county princess is beautiful and intelligent. Young Master Chen will definitely like her!

"Even if you don't like her, and even if you're afraid, just give the County Princess a lot of dowry when she marries. She can still live a good life in the Chen family..."

"Crack!" Before she could finish, Wan'er slammed the teacup in her hand, deeply regretting how she had let such a fool into the room.

Under the blue sky and sunshine, there's nothing better to do than to have a good dog barking for half an hour!

"Shut your stinking mouth! Do you think this is where you can run wild!"

Wan'er was truly furious. Her younger sister was the apple of everyone's eye, a precious treasure held in their palms. Don't even mention such a momentous occasion as marriage; if her younger sister so much as coughed, it would be like the sky was falling!

This fool surnamed Feng is talking big. He says that Master Chen is intelligent, studious, and unmarried, unlike his own husband and nephews who only passed the exam at the age of twenty-something. They are simply fools!

How dare she come here and spout nonsense!

Most importantly, when genuinely seeking a marriage proposal, one should adopt the attitude of a suitor. Bow your head, speak softly, and approach with an air of bestowing grace.

This is like stepping in dog poop, it's so disgusting!

Mrs. Feng was startled by the scolding, and her new skirt was splashed with tea, which made her even more distressed. She finally couldn't hold it in any longer.

“Xing Wan’er, I came to propose marriage to bring honor to your Li family! If you can't make the decision, that's fine, but why are you yelling at me! It’s no wonder people say your Li family is uneducated and uncouth.”

She stood up to leave, not forgetting to drop a parting threat, "Let me tell you, once this village is passed, there's no turning back! Even Master Chen wouldn't look at her, I wonder where that shrew of a princess will end up marrying!"

She stopped speaking and then... screamed!

Originally, Wan'er was quick-witted and fast. She pulled her hair fiercely from behind and kicked her leg hard in the back.

Mrs. Feng immediately knelt down!

"I let you run wild! I let you come here and cause havoc! I let you spew nonsense!" Wan'er was so angry that she lost all reason, throwing aside all the proper etiquette and refinement she had been taught since childhood.

Since everyone is already inside causing a ruckus, she shouldn't just sit there and take it! She doesn't even deserve to be called human if she doesn't fight back!

Late autumn and several young maidservants had been fuming with anger long ago. Now that their mistress had even taken action, where would they still watch the excitement!

Then, big and small, seven or eight of them swarmed around Mrs. Feng.

The Feng family's housemaid cried out, wanting to help her mistress, but was immediately pulled aside and reprimanded alone.

"Hit me hard!"

"May your mouths spew out nothing but ivory! Our county princess is not someone you can just make up stories about!"

"The Chen family has eaten leopard gall! They actually dared to come to our house and bully people! I'll scratch you to death, so that you won't be able to show your face outside ever again!"

The maidservants were fighting with gusto, and Wan'er felt relieved watching them. She even wanted to join in, lifting her skirt to kick a few times. But just as she turned around, she saw Mr. Wen and her father standing at the door, looking surprised and confused.

Wan'er was petrified for a moment, quickly retracting her foot and awkwardly smoothing her disheveled hair.s place, I can still have a good meal.”Mei Lan envied her innocent nature.
