Wu Xiangyun deliberately said words of praise in a mocking tone, the meaning of disdain was very deep, she thought that the Cao family invited her to the banquet because of Ruixue's identity, where did she know that the two families were about to become in-laws, Ruixue is Cao Hanmei's sister-in-law in the future, and she had to take care of her at Peishui Wharf at the beginning, and they talked very happily just now.

I saw her put down the teacup and smiled lightly, "Sister Wu is right, we women are weak by nature, in the eyes of men, they are like vines, Sister Chen can be respected by so many men, there must be something extraordinary."

Speaking of which, I went to visit my aunt last year, and I also passed by Peishui Wharf, and I was fortunate to sit in Sister Chen's shop, and I had to eat the wontons under Sister Chen's own hands, so that the wind and cold faded. ”

Hearing that Cao Hanmei had also been to Peishui Wharf and knew Ruixue, everyone was even more curious, Wu Xiangyun led the conversation smartly, "Sister Cao has been to Peishui Wharf?" Are there very few women there, and all men are coming? When it's hot in summer, it's all open and barebacked, which is unbearable? ”

Cao Hanmei raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Why did Sister Wu ask like this, it was the beginning of winter when I arrived in Peishui, where did I know about summer, but I have heard that everyone at the dock, whether it is a merchant or a worker, as long as Sister Chen is mentioned, they are full of praise, and some men even call Sister Chen the third master, which is very respectful and polite." ”

Rui Xue knew that Cao Hanmei was saying good things for her, and she didn't want everyone to treat her as a woman with water-based poplars, although she didn't care about these in her heart, but it was not good not to accept the favor of the Cao family, so she smiled, "At that time, I had just gotten married, and my husband was teaching Meng Tong in the village, he was seriously ill, and a few hundred wen a month was not enough to take medicine, so I would make a good meal, so I opened a restaurant on the dock to facilitate passers-by and earn some money." The leftover food from the shop on weekdays was sent out to help a few poor people at the wharf, but they got a good reputation for kindness, which is really ashamed.

Later, my husband recovered from his illness, and the family opened several shops one after another, and when the days improved, I became husband and child at home, and the business was taken care of by my husband. ”

Everyone had heard a few words a few days ago, the eldest son of the Zhao family was seriously ill, and how he married the maid Chongxi, and now he suddenly heard Rui Xue talk about the events of the day, although the tone was flat, and a few words were bringed, but everyone could imagine the hardships.

The husband is sick and weak, and he shoulders the household on his shoulders, and he also owns more than one shop, which is not as talented as a man.

Compare your heart to your heart, if you fall into that situation, I am afraid that in addition to crying all day long, you can only embroider shoes and handkerchiefs and purses for a few copper coins.

Thinking like this, the eyes of the women changed to admiration, and there was a sense of pity for those who were often annoyed at home because of the concubine and the husband.

What a strong woman, with hard work, finally hoping that her husband will recover from her illness, but she will be robbed of her wife's position?

So they all spoke out and comforted, "Miss Chen, don't be sad, good will be rewarded." ”

Rui Xue nodded and thanked him, and said with a smile, "It is also fate to be able to sit and gossip with everyone today, and it is my luck to be able to get everyone's warm words, and it is my luck to have a cup of warm tea here, thank you." ”

After she finished speaking, she picked up the tea in front of her and drank it all.

Most of the people are deep boudoir women, and they are bound by various rules and etiquette on weekdays, so they think that women all over the world are like this, and today they see Ruixue so happy and bold, and their hearts are provoked to be arrogant, and they smile with a cup, "We are very happy to know Miss Chen today." Then, raise your glass and drink the same dry tea.

Everyone put down their glasses, looked at each other, and laughed, and the atmosphere was much more lively than just now.

This asked Ruixue how many shops there were, and that asked Ruixue where he learned the food in the teahouse, and for a while, Ruixue actually became a hot character.

Wu Xiangyun saw that she couldn't humiliate Rui Xue, but she turned over the plate, and bit her lips white with hatred, and swept the corner of her eyes to the door, and a maid took a tray and began to serve food.

Jian Wu came back from outside, and saw that their master and servant were so sneaky, so he paid attention, and went into the house and whispered in Ruixue's ear, "Madam, the little masters are asleep, and the old lady wants me to tell the young lady, don't worry about it." ”

After speaking, he thought about it, and then said, "Just now, the slave maid saw what Miss Wu was talking about, and it looked like she was making a bad idea, so Miss should be careful." ”

Rui Xue nodded, "Don't worry, aren't you there?" ”

Being so trusted, Jian Wu's heart warmed, and he retreated, although he bowed his head half-down, his eyes were firmly fixed on the doorway.

The little maids served the food one after another, piling up every table to the brim, and everyone naturally praised the abundance, and it was the lively time when someone downstairs shouted, "The old birthday star has arrived!" ”

Everyone turned their heads to look out the window, as soon as Rui Xue turned around, the injured ankle accidentally touched the table leg, she subconsciously lowered her head to rub it in pain, but as soon as she bent down, she heard a scream, accompanied by the sound of clanging, which was extremely tragic.

She quickly got up to look, and everyone also withdrew their eyes from the window, each with a suspicious face, not knowing what was going on?

Jian Wu didn't care about sweeping the soup off the hem of his skirt, and stepped forward to grab Rui Xue and asked, "Madam, but you got burned?" ”

Ruixue was also a little puzzled, and responded, "No, I hurt my ankle, just when I bent over..." ”

Jian Wu breathed a sigh of relief, and then said angrily, "This woman actually wants to splash hot soup on Madame!" I kicked it. ”

Hearing this, everyone's face changed, Cao Hanmei and the two nephews and daughters-in-law of the Cao family had a bad face, after all, it was the Cao family's birthday banquet, and the next person served hot soup and splashed the guests, and when this was spread, their Cao family would lose face.

Cao Hanmei looked at the mother-in-law who was rolling all over the ground with hot soup, and asked angrily, "Which one is in charge of you?" Why so reckless? ”

A frightened big girl at the door hurriedly ran in and said in a trembling voice, "Big... Miss, this person is not from our house, just now there was a shortage of people to serve soup, so she begged the slave maid to help send it in, saying that she wanted to see what the nobles looked like, but I didn't expect..."

"Stupid, stand down!" Hearing that it was not her own slave, the responsibility was much lighter, Cao Hanmei also breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again, "Who brought this from the house?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, all shook their heads, Jian Wu stared at Wu Xiangyun, who was pale, and said, "The slave and maid know that when the slave and maid came back just now, they saw this woman and Miss Wu standing together and talking in a low voice. ”

When Wu Xiangyun heard this, he immediately stood up and scolded, "Cheap girl, you are spewing blood, I just told her to get the hangover pills, how can she serve the soup and splash people?" ”

If she said this on weekdays, everyone could still believe it, but since Rui Xue entered the door, she was aggressive, looking like she was going to eat people, and now it was her slave who did such evil things, saying that it was not her instigation, even a three-year-old child would not believe it.

Rui Xue stared at the floor, after a while the soup was still steaming, her face was pale, if it weren't for the sharp eyes of Jian Wu, she coincidentally bent down, this soup just fell on her face a few drops, and it would be blistered, if she was unlucky, stained in half a basin, then she would be completely disfigured.

Originally, she had no intention of competing with Wu Xiangyun for anything, not to mention, Zhao Fengnian was already going back to Lingfeng City with her, Wu Xiangyun was destined to become a laughing stock woman, with the attitude of a winner, she disdained to step on the loser a few more times.

But today, Wu Xiangyun's words and murder made her extremely angry, and she didn't want to endure this breath anymore, "Miss Wu, I'm so bad that I'm a Miss Houfu, you instructed the slave to pour soup and murder, and his heart should be punished, I will definitely not just forget it like this..."

Wu Xiangyun was also aroused, his chest straightened, and he snorted coldly, "My slave just missed for a while, and you weren't burned, why is Miss Chen so unforgiving, do you want to drag her to the government to ask if she is guilty?" Okay, our Wu family will accompany you to the end! ”

Ruixue's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of her mouth slowly hooked up a sneer, her eyes were as cold and focused as if she was looking at a prey, Wu Xiangyun was cold for no reason, and couldn't help but say again, "You, do you want to buy a killer for revenge, you are so bold... King... The king's law is not tolerated! ”

"Hmph," Rui Xue smiled faintly, and the coldness on her face was even stronger, "Miss Wu, you probably don't know, I'm the best at fighting snakes and hitting seven inches!" ”

Originally, everyone and Wu Xiangyun thought that she would make a threat, and they didn't want to hear such an inexplicable sentence, but the next moment, they were so shocked that they almost shouted.

It turned out that after Rui Xue finished speaking, she picked up the teapot on the table, and poured it down according to the back of her left hand, the teapot was made of purple sand, which was very insulated, although it had been served for some time, but it was still six or seven percent hot, poured on your hands, how could it not be hot?

The back of Ruixue's hand quickly turned red, and one of them even turned brown, but there was no pain on her face, she put down the teapot very calmly, and turned her head to look at Jian Wu, who was also stunned, "Go tell Mr., just say that I was burned!" ”

"It's... Yes, ma'am. Jian Wu immediately rushed out of the door in a few arrow steps, the deathly silence in the room, Wu Xiangyun's eyes were about to pop out, and he trembled his lips and wanted to say something, but unfortunately, before she could speak, the next moment, the two doors of the house were pushed open with a bang!

Zhao Fengnian strode in with an anxious face, glanced at the house, and went straight to Ruixue, and when he saw the burns on her hands, his face immediately turned pale.

It's just that others don't know, but he is like engraved in his heart, he was seriously ill and wanted to die that day, Rui Xue invited the old man Tian to diagnose him, it was dark at night, Rui Xue held the lampstand to light the old man, and he was worried about his life, and he didn't even find that the lamp oil burned his hands.

Later, she was even more busy taking care of him, busy earning money to buy medicine, and dragged it to the point that her bones were almost exposed!

How many nights did he kiss this hand gently when she was asleep, thanking her for her kindness, and as a result, today, this hand was burned like this, how could he not be angry!

"Who is it, who burned you like this?" Zhao Fengnian's voice couldn't be lower, but the anger contained in those words hit everyone's hearts directly, and no one dared to guess how angry he would be.
