Chapter 350: Sharp Tongued, Too Sharp Tongued
Tong Sanlang looked at Qiao Xiaomai, who was approaching with a cold smile on her face, and shook his head in disagreement.
Sun Family was obviously here to show off and make trouble. He didn’t want Qiao Xiaomai to get entangled with this ‘stinky shit1.
Qiao Xiaomai rolled her eyes.
Hm, she didn’t want Tong Sanlang to get stuck with Sun Family either.
She was afraid it would dirty Tong Sanlang’s hands.
“Sun Family, your Xiaowu has neither rank nor title, what are you running here creating a fuss for?” she bluntly asked.
“I am still recognized by the emperor! I still have the favor of Prince Wei! Not to mention the emperor, just Prince Wei is better than your General Cen, isn’t he?
I haven’t even asked to cut in line yet, what makes you think you can?”
“Because you have no shame?”
“If you’ve got nothing to do, get out of the way and stop wasting everyone else’s time.”
Those sharp words were like a dagger thrust into the heart of Sun Family.
Sun’s face suddenly twisted in anger, and her bitterness and hatred rushed up from the bottom of her heart.
Well, she hadn’t even had time to settle a score with Qiao Xiaomai yet, and now Qiao Xiaomai had taken the initiative to pick a fight.
Perfect, it saves her the trouble!
She glared at Qiao Xiaomai, sneered coldly, “Oh, can’t wait to stand up for your lover? Using shameful tactics to seduce your uncle, where’s your dignity? Just like your mother who ran away with a strange man, you have no shame!” Uncle?
Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t help but laugh, “Sun Family, this is unlike you, you are now rising in rank and status, yet you still won’t let go of Tong Sanlang, this isn’t normal. By rights, you should be looking for a high-ranking officer for your daughter.”
“If you keep linking your daughter with Tong Sanlang like this, and if the word gets out to those noble people, your daughter will never have a chance to step up in society.”
“After all, people of nobility care about their reputation, they won’t want a girl with a tarnished reputation.”
At these words, Sun was stunned for a moment.
She hadn’t had time to think about this yet.
Sun Junyan had attached himself to Cen Hong during the few days when Qiao Xiaomai’s wheat was burned. He hadn’t been home before, only went back a few days ago, brought back some cloth and food, and also gave her twenty taels of silver.
Sun Junyan said that before they were weak and helpless, that’s why they were driven out of the village by Tong Tiehu. Now that he has received the favor of a person of nobility and become successful, she can stand tall and return to the village.
The Spring Tax was about to be paid, and all villagers will gather at the threshing ground then. That’s when she could fully show off.
Those lowly peasants used to look down upon their mother and son, ignoring them. Now, she and her son were beyond their reach!
With Sun Junyan’s words, she was delighted. She spent a whole day making a new set of clothes yesterday, just so she could show off today.
Within such a short one day, she hadn’t even time to adapt to her new identity, let alone consider Qiao Meipan’s marriage.
She hadn’t even returned to Qiao Family to see it yet!
Her habitual thinking was that Tong Sanlang was the best young man in the ten miles and eight villages, so when she saw him, she unconsciously thought of those unpleasant things: being rejected in marriage proposal, plot failed and ended up getting kicked out of the village.
These annoying thoughts made her angry, she also thought of a new development: they were rejected before, now her family was rich, it should be Tong Sanlang’s turn to regret and curry favor with her.
So, those words just slipped out of her mouth.
Now hearing what Qiao Xiaomai said, she suddenly felt annoyed.
Yes indeed!
No matter how good Tong Sanlang is, he’s still just a country bumpkin. Now that her Xiaowu had made something of himself and got to know some nobility, her daughter Meipan could marry into a noble family!
At this thought, she wished she could slap herself in the face.
Being such a motor mouth, she really talks too much.
At this time, what she should be doing is to make a clean break with Tong Sanlang!
She took a deep breath and glared at Qiao Xiaomai, “Sharp-tongued and quick-witted, no matter what you said, it won’t change the fact that you shamelessly seduce men!”
“Tong Sanlang, I’m kindly advising you. Today she can seduce you, tomorrow she can shamelessly seduce someone else. Be careful not to be cheated on just like Changsun was!”
Sitting far away on the oxcart, Qiao Changshun “…”
He was so far away, yet Sun’s verbal attack was able to reach him.
His heart ached.
