Chapter 580: Where Did This Bunch of Young Idiots Come From?

food was deadly.The teahouse is right across from SHai Ju, and many people can see it. Everyone is discussing it."The Four Seas Residence is the Wang family's property. Wang Xinqiu is a cautious pers...The shopkeeper frowned, but still kept a smile on his face as he apologized to Li Lao Si and his wife, then hurried away.

"Madam Wu, I'm so sorry for being late! "The shopkeeper bowed to the woman and apologized, then smiled and said, "If Madam is looking to purchase jewelry, just say the word and I'll have it delivered directly to the Marquis's residence. Why bother with the trip"

Seeing the shopkeeper's posture lowered to such a degree and his diligence so apparent, the second mistress Wu let out a cold snort, effectively stopping herself from berating him further.

But his tone was still bad, he shouted: "I want to prepare a birthday present for the Third Princess in the palace, you have anything good here, bring it all out!"

Then she was about to find a place to sit down.

As a result, there were only three chairs in the room: one stood alone, and two faced each other across a small tea table.

She left the single chair alone and didn't want to sit on it. Instead, she focused on the two chairs where Tao Hongying and Lao Si Li were sitting.

Seeing the two people dressed plainly, the anger in her heart flared. She shouted at the shopkeeper, "Your place is getting worse and worse! What kind of riff-raff can get onto the second floor now Get them all out of here!"

This is truly an unpleasant thing to say. The shopkeeper is embarrassed, and Li Lao Si and Tao Hongying's faces are even worse.

The shopkeeper still wanted to smooth things over, so he accompanied her with a smile and said: "Madam Second, this... all guests who come to the door are welcomed. We have private rooms, please go there for a while, it's more quiet..."

Before he could finish speaking, Madam Wu Er glared at him, "You dog-faced servant, can't you understand human language Clear out immediately! I'm choosing jewelry and going to the palace. Can you afford to delay me"

At this time, Jia Yin had already walked over with the little fox in her arms, and she was just seen by Mrs. Wu Er. She was so angry that her voice was about to break, and she shouted: "How can there be beasts here Get them out of here immediately, quickly, quickly!"

Her hands kept waving wildly, as if the room couldn't breathe because there was a little fox in it.

Jiayin sneered, "That's right, we picked out the jewelry carefully. How did this beast suddenly appear!"

Mrs. Wu Er was just about to respond when she realized something was wrong. Immediately, she became angry, "Little beast, who are you talking to"

As she spoke, she raised her hand to strike Jia Yin.

Li Lao Si is a doting father to the extreme. While he might bear insults from his wife hoping for peace, any scolding or beating towards his daughter is absolutely unacceptable!

He suddenly stood up, took two steps forward, grabbed the collar of that Mrs. Wu Er, and yanked her up.

Mrs. Wu, the second wife, suddenly floated in mid-air, her collar caught around her neck. She screamed in fright, but soon couldn't even scream anymore. Struggling for breath, her face turned crimson. All she could do was claw and kick, a truly comical sight.

The two maids attending to her, perhaps not expecting anyone to dare lay a hand on her, were slow to react.

One of them rushed forward, trying to pull Li Lao Si away, shouting, "Presumptuous! Let go of our madam, release her at once!"

Li Laosi didn't even look at her, and kicked her aside to lie down.

Another granny lagged behind, still trying to save her young master, but was pulled back by Tao Hongying from behind, her hair being yanked and flung aside.

Tao Hongying spent her days whirling around the stove, her strength ranking among the top among women.

Grandma tried to stand up, but she was pulled back down and pinned to the chair by her.

This chair is like a turtle shell, with grandma's head and limbs sticking out while her body is tightly pressed inside.

Tao Hong sat down steadily, the chair creaked under her weight. The old woman, who was already plump, almost rolled her eyes.

There's no point in resisting. Just barely able to breathe is all I can manage...

All this was said slowly, but happened extremely fast. At least the shopkeeper didn't react in time.

But with a few slaps, when he came to his senses, Mrs. Wu's face was redder than a monkey's bottom.

He felt a sense of relief, but mostly fear.

He wanted to advise Mr. and Mrs. Li Si, but he didn't dare to speak up. He hesitated whether to ask Jia Yin for help, when Jia Yin was clapping her hands and cheering for her parents, "Daddy is amazing! Mommy is great too, you were so quick!"

Even little foxes are crouching on Jia Yin's shoulder, their tails wagging like windmills...

The shopkeeper couldn't help but feel faint.

Could he have been mistaken!

This family of three, they aren't from a wealthy or noble background, but rather ruthless bandits from the underworld!

Luckily, Li Laosi didn't want to kill her. After holding Wu Erfu for a while, he threw her to the ground, "From now on, when you go out, wash your stinking mouth! If I hear you scold my daughter again, or if you dare to touch my daughter, I'll send you to see the King of Hell!"

Wu Erfu coughed desperately, unable to speak at all.

"Well now," Jia Yin chuckled and patted the shopkeeper's arm, "Shopkeeper, which Wu family's second mistress is she"

The shopkeeper's face was grim, he almost wanted to burst into tears.

My goodness, where did all these young hotheads come from

We finished fighting and only now we're thinking about who we were up against!

He dared not refuse and whispered, "This is the second wife of the Wu family from Jiangning Houfu."

Having said that, he was afraid Jia Yin didn't understand, so he explained to Li Laosi and his wife: "The Empress Dowager is from the Jiangning Hou Mansion, and this Second Madam is the Empress Dowager's aunt!"

Li Laosì frowned, but said nothing.

Jiayin blinked and said, "So Jiangning Hou is her stepfather, and the Empress is her husband's niece. Then what does her husband do, what rank is he"

"This..." The shopkeeper was a little dumbfounded, not understanding what use Jia Yin's questions had. He just thought that the imperial concubine's maternal family was already frightening enough!

The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said in a voice so low it was barely audible, "Mr. Wu is a fifth-rank idle official."

Jia Yin's eyes lit up immediately. She grabbed the little fox and held it in her arms, smiling so broadly that her eyes looked like crescents. "Then it's easy!"

Li Lao Si also laughed, “I thought I was dealing with someone important, so arrogant. Turns out you’re just a fifth-rank official’s wife! I’m a fourth-rank official myself!”

This northern campaign, Lao Si Li accumulated quite a few military merits. The Lord has already submitted the list of rewards to the Ministry of War.

The Ministry of War was afraid that if the Marquis didn't receive his pension, he would be furious when they stopped his subordinates from being promoted.

Then, they didn't hesitate at all and sent it directly.

A few days ago, Li Lao Si was officially promoted to the rank of fourth-rank official.

Although military officers' ranks may rise quickly, their status is still not as high as that of civil officials.

But in terms of status, Old Fourth Li is indeed overwhelming Old Master Wu.

The shopkeeper was practically driven mad by this family's insistence. He couldn't help but interject, "Honorable sir, it doesn't work that way! Lord Wu is only a fifth-rank official, but he's the second son of the Duke of Jiangning. His niece is the Empress!"

Just then, Madam Wu Er had recovered her breath. She crawled up crookedly and shouted: "You wait! You dare to bully our Marquis's household, you're all dead! My niece is the Empress!"

Tao Hongying couldn't help but roll her eyes at Wu Erfu and sarcastically said, “You’re really strange. You flaunt your father-in-law Jiang Ninghou's power to bully others Who in their right mind acts like this”

"Your husband isn't dead, you're married and follow your husband, so you're just a fifth-rank official's wife! My husband is fourth rank, so technically speaking, I'm more noble than you!"

"Just because the Empress is your niece doesn't mean you have any right to be arrogant! You're not the Empress yourself. Are official wives no longer expected to follow proper etiquette You've really disgraced your family!"

Her voice was loud and her speech was fast. This wasn't just heard by Mrs. Wu Er, but also several guests who had come upstairs to see the commotion at some point...e kitchen with her special blue-and-white bowl in her arms. They knew there was a delicious treat today.So the three brothers scrambled onto the doorframe and peered inside with grins.Old Mrs. Li was...
