"I just saw your little daughter. She is really cute. Her appearance and bearing are no less than those of other ladies." Mrs. Gao had a smile on her face, fully demonstrating to the female members of the Bai family the image of an official's wife who was close to the people.
As expected, the person who came here was evil, and after a lot of rambling, it finally got involved with Xiao Fuyuan.
The Bai family looked at each other.
"Madam, you are so complimentary." Madam Zhen said with a faint smile.
The Bai family did not show as much happiness as expected, and the prefect's wife was a little unexpected.
Immediately, she felt quite dissatisfied. No one in Huaicheng would not fawn over her when they saw her. Even if it was the Zhou family, which was the Qingliu family, Mrs. Zhou would give her some face.
It's just that this bunch of country people are so blind.
"I heard that your little daughter is very smart and was made the village head by the emperor. She is really lucky." Mrs. Gao endured her unhappiness and said.
"Being named the head of the village by the emperor is my family's blessing." Old Mrs. Bai said.
Tian Maimiao was already tired of the prefect's wife's clinginess, and couldn't help but said straight to the point: "What exactly do you want to say, madam? Just put it bluntly. We country people don't understand so many twists and turns."
Gao choked.
Are all country people so rude?
"Then let me tell you the truth. There is a young master in the Shen Mansion, the richest man in Huaicheng. He is the same age as your little daughter, and his son is also Yuxue. When he was born, he was ordered by the master to find a lucky girl. The dolls form a pair. This is not good, your little daughter is lucky, and the Shen family is extremely rich..."
"We can't match the wealth of the Shen family." Zhen refused without waiting for Gao to finish.
Old Mrs. Bai had a cold look on her face and sneered unceremoniously: "My granddaughter's good fortune is our business. It's not just what the Shen family wants to do. They have to ask us if we like the Shen family. Let me tell you the truth. Things we don’t agree with.”
Tian Maimiao finished his attack: "You are so powerful. You are a prince, a rich man, and the government and businessmen collude to bully us country people, right? Then let me tell you, you made the wrong idea."
Gao's head hurt from the rebuke.
It is said that country people raise their daughters just like they raise pigs. When they get older, they are willing to sell them to anyone who gives them a few taels of silver.
Why didn't the Lao Bai family play their cards according to the routine? So what if their daughter was made the head of the village? The Shen family was the emperor, so it was a blessing for a country girl with false reputation to get into the Shen family.
Why don't you know how to adapt?
Are they just a bunch of frogs in a well, unable to see the outside world, holding women hostage and selling them for a price?
Mr. Gao lost face and sneered: "Don't you go and ask what kind of family the Shen family is? There are so many daughters who can't even climb it, so it's not wrong to say that your daughter is lucky. She can actually do it." I was chosen by the Shen family. I am here to tell you, out of mutual respect. If someone comes hard, you may not be able to handle it."
The words were threatening.
Mrs. Zhen and Mrs. Bai both laughed angrily. This prefect's wife was not even comparable to the county magistrate's wife, Mrs. Xu.
After all, the Xu family knew how to behave and did not use their official power and family background to suppress the Bai family. The prefect's wife turned out to be stupid and said such threatening words.
This shows how arrogant he usually is.
"Hmph, since you said that being chosen by the Shen family is a blessing, do you want such a blessing for your daughter?" Tian Maimiao countered.
Gao's chest hurt with anger. She wanted whatever she wanted, just that short-lived ghost Shen Ning. Wasn't this a curse on her daughter?
"Don't give me a toast and be punished by drinking wine..."
Gao was thinking of threatening words.
"Madam, something is not right. Your Excellency and Young Master have fallen into the water." The maid next to Gao ran in and shouted in panic.
"What?" Mrs. Gao was so surprised that she knocked over her teacup. She didn't care that her skirt got wet, and she stumbled out with the help of her maid.
The female members of the Bai family looked at each other.
"It's broken. How is Xiao Yuanbao playing outside?" Zhen felt vaguely that something was wrong and stood up.
"Let's go take a look too." Xie Chuntao said.
The news that the prefect and the prefect's son fell into the water instantly spread throughout the Zhou family.
All the guests rushed over to eat melon.
The female members of the Bai family saw little Fuyuan in the crowd from a distance and quickly walked over.
The magistrate went into the water to save his son, but he was hugged tightly by his son.
After the two of them were fed and watered, they were rescued by the Shui boy from Zhou's family who came over.
At this time, the water in their stomachs had just been cleared, and they were lying on the ground in a state of embarrassment, panting.
"Master, Xian'er." Mrs. Gao stumbled and sat in front of her man and son. She was so frightened that she even dropped her hairpin.
Such a big thing happened in the house, Mrs. Zhou stood in the crowd with a pale face.
"Xian'er, Xian'er, who pushed you into the water?" Mrs. Gao held Guo Xian's hand and felt terribly distressed.
"Mother, mother." Guo Xian cried loudly. After crying, he pointed at Xiao Fuyuan and Erlang and others beside her, "It's this little Fu Yuan and the country bumpkins behind her. They bullied me. .”
Everyone turned to look at Xiao Fuyuan.
Mrs. Zhou already knew the whole story from Hong Dan's mouth and was very dissatisfied with Guo Xian's behavior.
When my mother-in-law celebrates her birthday and something like this happens in front of guests, she wants to deal with it privately behind closed doors.
"Madam, it's just a few children playing around. The master and the young master are frightened, so they should go to the room first and let the doctor come and take a look." Mrs. Zhou stepped forward and said to Mrs. Gao.
After hearing this, Mrs. Gao became angry and sneered: "What do you mean, madam? My Xian'er was pushed into the water by them. I didn't want to punish them, but they made us unable to give in."
Mrs. Zhou wanted to curse after hearing this. You don't know what kind of character your son is. Who is she trying to set a standard for? She doesn't know how to show appreciation and insists on competing in front of the guests.
Angrily, he still apologized and persuaded with a smile: "I can vouch for the character of Xiao Yuanbao and others. They will never push your young master into the water. There must be some misunderstanding. You are all honored guests of my family. Your young master must be sincere. If you are wronged, I will also give you and Mr. Guo an explanation."
"That's right, that's right." Several ladies nearby who were close friends with Madam Zhou persuaded Mrs. Gao.
Who doesn't know what Gao did to his son? Who knows who will lose face if this is revealed.
"My Xian'er will never lie." Mrs. Gao said angrily.
Feng Zhiheng said aggrievedly: "Aunt, no one pushed him into the water, he fell into the water on his own."
"Miss Feng said it was easy. He didn't have anything to do and he fell into the water so easily." Mrs. Gao choked Feng Zhiheng.
Xiao Fuyuan looked at everyone and said aloud: "It is indeed Mr. Guo who fell into the water by himself. If we are wrong, our fault is that when Mr. Guo scolded us for no reason, we refuted him. He got angry and wanted to beat Liu Shu. He slipped into the water."
Mrs. Xu stood in the crowd, her heart burning with anger. Why did this evil young man even bully his own son?
"Why is he scolding you all the time?" Gao sneered.
Mrs. Zhou didn't want to care about it at this time and let them argue. Anyway, it was the prefect's family that was embarrassed.
She sneered in her heart. The Bai family were benefactors of the Hou family and honored guests of the Zhou family. They were bullied by the prefect. As the head of the Zhou family, she let Guo Xian go, and her sister-in-law, Mrs. Hou, would not let him go either.
The prefect's breath finally calmed down, and he winked at Mrs. Gao. Mrs. Gao only focused on gritting his teeth to avenge his son, and ignored his own man.
"Guo Xian and I are classmates..." Erlang began to accuse Guo Xian of being domineering.
