Chapter Forty-Eight: Humiliation

Yan Zixi put down her burden and did not answer Mrs. Xiao's words directly, but said lightly.

"My parents abandoned me when I was born, and to be honest, I don't know who my real parents were......"

"Oh?" When Mrs. Xiao heard this, the contempt on her face became even stronger, "So, you are still a wild seed?" Okay, leave the marriage book, you can take the silver taels! ”

After speaking, Mrs. Xiao glanced at Xiao Yu, the maid on the side of Hou, and said loudly: "Xiao Yu, let the bookkeeper pay a hundred taels of gold to this Yan girl......

"Wait!" Yan Zixi's face also lost a smile, and became serious, she looked directly at Mrs. Xiao without any fear.

Mrs. Xiao didn't expect Yan Zixi to talk to her like this, and a trace of anger appeared on her face, "Miss Yan, what else do you have to do?" ”

"Mrs. Xiao, I want to ask, why did you decide that this marriage contract was invalid by yourself? Does the old prince Xiao of the Zhenguo general know about this? Yan Zixi asked without humility or arrogance.

Mrs. Xiao was slightly stunned, and then sneered, "The prince has a lot of opportunities, how can he care about such a trivial matter of sesame mung beans?" ”

"The little thing about sesame mung beans? Mrs. Xiao, this marriage contract is a major event in life, and it is a marriage written by Prince Xiao himself, how did it get into your mouth, and it became a trivial matter of sesame mung beans? ”

"Presumptuous!"

When Mrs. Xiao heard Yan Zixi say such words to refute herself, she was immediately annoyed and angry.

"Yan Zixi, do you know what you were talking about just now? I thought you were a clever girl, but now it seems...... Hmph, I should have taken my words back......"

After all, Mrs. Xiao had seen a lot of big scenes, and after being provoked, she quickly regained her calm, still condescending, and oppressed Yan Zixi with that kind of lofty momentum.

The invisible pressure was like a mountain that made Yan Zixi breathless, and the cicadas in the courtyard outside the hall seemed to be quiet all of a sudden.

The entire side hall was completely silent at this moment, as if they could hear each other's heartbeats.

After being silent for a long time, Mrs. Xiao paced back to the high seat and sat down, and said slowly.

"Miss Yan, you may not understand, the old body will continue to tell you, my son is now the general of Zhenbei Wang Wushuang, you are just a folk country girl, what qualifications do you have to talk about marriage with my son? If it weren't for the face of that marriage letter, you wouldn't even be able to enter the gate of my general's mansion today! ”

After a slight pause, Mrs. Xiao squinted her eyes and asked again.

"Miss Yan, can you understand now?"

Yan Zixi nodded, there was no change in the expression on her face, she just responded lightly, "Understood." ”

"It's good to understand!" Hearing this, Mrs. Xiao's eyebrows stretched slightly, and the corners of her mouth also hooked up a smile: "Since you understand, you should do what you understand!" A hundred taels of gold is enough to make you worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life, and if you are not satisfied, I can also ask someone to buy a mansion for you in the capital......"

Yan Zixi stretched out her hand, sneered, and said with disdain: "Mrs. Xiao, I think you misunderstood!" ”

Mrs. Xiao raised her head and motioned for Yan Zixi to continue.

"I'm not here for fame and money!"

"Then you are ......"

"Originally, I came to the capital to find out my background and withdraw from this marriage by the way?" Yan Zixi said lightly.

Mrs. Xiao was a little uncalm, the corners of her mouth trembled slightly, and she screamed in surprise: "What did you say?!" Divorce? You came to the General's Mansion to withdraw from my son's marriage? ”

Mrs. Xiao couldn't believe her ears, and hurriedly asked again.

"Yes! It was like this......"

"Originally?" Mrs. Xiao frowned, puzzled.

Yan Zixi simply sat down, crossed Erlang's legs, looked leisurely, and said with a smile.

"But...... Now I've changed my mind! ”

"You ......"

Yan Zixi raised her head, glanced at Mrs. Xiao, and continued: "I won't retreat from this marriage, not only will I not retreat, but I also want your general's mansion to carry me in a sedan chair as promised!" ”

"You are presumptuous!" When Mrs. Xiao heard this, she was furious, slapped the table, pointed at Yan Zixi and scolded, "What do you think you are?" still wants to marry into our general's mansion, it's a fool's dream! ”

"Mrs. Xiao, don't get excited, it's not good to be angry. Also, casually insulting guests is not the demeanor of the general's wife, do you say? ”

"You !!" Mrs. Xiao glared at Yan Zixi, so angry that her body trembled slightly.

No one has ever dared to talk back to themselves like this!

Even if the concubines and nobles in the palace saw her, they had to be respectful and polite.

I didn't expect to be taught a lesson by a wild girl from the poor countryside today!

Where have Mama Rong and Xiaoya on the side seen Mrs. Xiao like this, even if they both knelt on the ground, they didn't dare to make a sound.

The hall fell silent again, and the cicadas outside the room broke the momentary silence again.

Yan Zixi made her words clear, and she was much more relaxed.

"Okay, Mrs. Xiao, that's all I have to say, I've finished what I should say, I don't know if I can meet Prince Xiao?"

When the maid Xiaoyu heard this, she secretly complained in her heart!

Why doesn't this girl know what to do? Not to mention offending the general's wife, now he is still boldly delusional to ask to see the general?

Xiao Yu really couldn't understand why this Yan Zixi was so bold, she was now hoping that Mrs. Xiao would not blame herself in the future, after all, Yan Zixi was the one she came in to report......

Mrs. Xiao suppressed the anger in her heart and said coldly.

"The prince is entangled in political affairs, and I don't have time to see you."

"Then dare to ask Madame, when will the prince have time, and I will come to visit me at that time!" Yan Zixi asked.

"How do I know about the prince?"

"In that case, then Zixi will come to visit another day!" After speaking, Yan Zixi stood up, and after bowing respectfully to Mrs. Xiao, she was about to turn around and leave.

Mrs. Xiao didn't have any intention of stopping her, she just turned pale with anger and muttered scolding in her mouth.

"Hmph, ignorant girl, so rude! How daring! ”

The more Madame Xiao thought about it, the more angry she became, and she picked up the teacup on the table and slammed it on the ground.

"Smack!"

Only a crisp sound was heard, and the green jade porcelain teacup turned into pieces in an instant.

Mrs. Xiao got up and asked Mama Rong, "Mama Rong, when will the little prince return to Beijing?" ”

"Mrs. Hui, the little prince came back with a message earlier, saying that there was a delay on the way, presumably he should be able to come back in the next few days, right?!"

Mrs. Xiao nodded, and then commanded the kneeling maid Xiaoyu.

"Xiaoyu, if this girl dares to come to the door in the future, let the guards blast him out directly!"

"Yes, ma'am!" Xiao Yu wiped the cold sweat on her forehead, let out a long breath, and secretly rejoiced in her heart that she was finally fine.

Mrs. Xiao left the side hall angrily, and before going out, she turned around and explained.

"By the way, you two listen, don't tell the prince about this today, do you hear?"

"Yes, ma'am!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

……

Yan Zixi walked out of the side hall, and then patted her chest.

When she faced Mrs. Xiao just now, her heart was about to jump to her throat, and she hadn't recovered yet.

She didn't know where she had the courage to talk back to the general's wife in the court.

"Hey, Yan Zixi, Yan Zixi, why can't you bear it! What people said is right, I was originally a wild girl in the countryside, and if I want to marry into the General's Mansion, I am not dreaming big! ”

Yan Zixi pinched herself fiercely, and now her heart was mixed, and it was gathered into two words, "regret".

"I hope that Mrs. Xiao is not a cautious person!"

Now, Yan Zixi can only pray silently in her heart.

Even she doubted that she would be killed by Mrs. Xiao as soon as she left the General's Mansion.

Because she had been thinking about her thoughts, she didn't remember the route back, and at this time, Yan Zixi had been wandering around the General's Mansion for a long time, and she was already lost.

"Oh my God, it won't be so unlucky, will it?"

The mansion of the general of Zhenguo was originally very large, it was extended in all directions, and the pavilions and corridors surrounded it, and it was difficult to remember the way back without a familiar maid and servant to lead the way.

What's more, when she came out of the side hall, Yan Zixi kept thinking about her thoughts, and she didn't pay attention to the surrounding environment.

It's good now, I'm lost in the General's Palace.

If you are misunderstood by someone who doesn't know, will you think you are an assassin?

The more Yan Zixi thought about it, the cooler her heart became, and at this moment, she seemed to feel that someone seemed to be staring at her.

Yan Zixi turned her head to look, and saw a personable young man standing at the rockery of the creek.

Seeing that the young man's age is only thirteen or fourteen years old, he is full of heroism between his eyebrows, and he will be able to charm thousands of girls when he grows up.

Yan Zixi looked around and saw that no one was passing, so she cautiously walked over, ready to ask the young man about the way out.

However, before Yan Zixi could speak, the young man looked at Yan Zixi with a pair of big dark eyes and asked.

"You're the girl from the countryside who wants to marry my brother?"

"Your brother? Could it be that you are ......"

"I'm the second marquis of the General's Mansion, and you like an uninformed shrew don't kneel down and salute when she sees this little king?"

As he spoke, the young man put his hands behind his back, put on a stinky shelf, and drank Yan Zixi decently.

Yan Zixi is unhappy in her heart, I can't fix your mother, can't I fix your little thing?

"Hey, who are you talking to? How dare you call me a shrew? ”

"What, am I wrong to scold?"

Yan Zixi's eyes rolled, and she said with a smile: "Then let me ask you, since you know that I want to marry your brother, who will I be in the future?" ”

The young man lowered his head and thought for a moment, then bit his cheek and said, "You and my brother are married, so naturally you are my sister-in-law!" ”

"Then that's how you talked to your sister-in-law? Insult sister-in-law Wang, believe it or not, I let your brother spank your ass hard! ”

When the young man heard this, his face changed in fright, and he quickly changed his tone and apologized: "Sister-in-law Wang, forgive me!" Please don't tell my brother Wang about this, otherwise my ass will definitely be opened by him......"

Yan Zixi was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then secretly laughed.

I didn't expect this kid to be so sincere, and he casually stopped him.

It's really in response to the old saying, the landlord's family has no shortage of stupid sons, well, the ancients are honest and do not deceive!
