Chapter 304 Su Xiaoxiao angers Madam Zhao

Madam Zhao regretted not dressing up properly today, although she knew that no matter how she dressed up, she would still be outshone by Su Xiaoxiao in the end.

She regretted not wearing her most valuable jewelry; that way, at least there would be something to look at.

Madam Zhao sat up straight and gave Su Xiaoxiao a cold snort.

"Hmph... No matter how a country bumpkin dresses up, she'll always look the same, so unsophisticated. No matter how expensive her clothes are, she'll never be presentable. How can she compare to my niece, Tang Xiaoman? I really don't know if Pei Yuan is bewitched or what, completely infatuated with you..."

“Madam, you’re mistaken. Okay, I admit I’m a bit rustic, it’s true that I come from the countryside, but your Pei Yuan likes my rustic charm. What should I do? Sometimes I wish Pei Yuan could be more philanthropic and not just like me, but he won’t listen! I’m very troubled by this.”

"you……"

Enraged, Madam Zhao stood up abruptly, but Su Xiaoxiao remained unfazed and continued speaking.

"You say your niece is so wonderful, but Pei Yuan just doesn't love her. Even the Emperor's decree of marriage couldn't change that!"

"Guards, slap him in the face! How dare he talk back to me like that?"

At this moment, a woman in her fifties walked over from the side, raised her hand, and tried to hit Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao grabbed her wrist. Su Xiaoxiao had a lot of strength, and her grip made the old woman's wrist ache. She couldn't bear it any longer and cried out loudly, "Ouch, it hurts! Let go..."

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at her disdainfully, "You think you can hit me? Don't you know your own limitations? I could break your wrist with just a little force, you know that?"

Su Xiaoxiao twisted the old woman's wrist again with all her might, and the old woman turned pale and broke out in a cold sweat from the pain.

"Help, Madam Zhao!"

She turned her head and looked at Madam Zhao behind her pleadingly. Madam Zhao had not expected Su Xiaoxiao to be so powerful. She thought that if she got close to Su Xiaoxiao, her wrist would probably be crushed immediately.

Madam Zhao quickly shouted, "Guards outside, listen to my orders! Lock this wild girl in the woodshed right now!" But the guards standing outside didn't move. After she shouted for a long time, someone came in from outside. This person was none other than Bei Yan.

"Madam Zhao, please don't harm our lady. She is General Pei Yuan's woman."

"She hasn't even married into the family yet, and you're already calling her 'Madam' all the time, Bei Yan?"

"Yes, although Miss Su has not yet officially married into the General's Mansion, she and General Pei Yuan have already pledged their lives to each other. General Pei Yuan will not marry anyone but Miss Su in this lifetime. Please think twice before you act, Madam Zhao."

These words nearly made Madam Zhao so speechless that she almost overturned the table, but after thinking about it, she realized it really wouldn't work! How could she put it?

Anyone with a modicum of sense knows that Pei Yuan is someone he cannot afford to offend.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her with a cold smile, waiting for her to continue her rage. She was so angry that her face turned ashen. "You, you get out of here right now!"

Upon seeing this, Su Xiaoxiao immediately plopped down on the chair next to her and refused to move.

"Why should I come just because you tell me to, and leave just because you tell me to? Hasn't Madam Zhao heard the saying, 'It's easy to invite a god, but hard to send him away'?"

Su Xiaoxiao crossed her legs, picked up the tea on the tea table, and began to taste it.

"Oh, this tea is quite nice. Was it prepared for me?"

"You shameless woman!"

Madam Zhao was so angry that her hand trembled as she pointed at Su Xiaoxiao and said forcefully, "Get out of here right now."

Su Xiaoxiao ignored her and calmly continued to sip her tea, drinking it one sip after another, with Bei Yan standing next to her.

"Madam Zhao, you only prepared tea and not snacks. That's a bit impolite!" Upon hearing this, Bei Yan was surprised that Su Xiaoxiao could be so irritating. He bit his lip and suppressed the urge to laugh.

"There are no snacks. If you want to eat, go back to your room."

Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao hadn't moved, Madam Zhao angrily flung her sleeves.

"Fine, if you won't leave, I will!"

Having no other option, Madam Zhao had to leave her room.

Su Xiaoxiao was still behind her, trying to annoy her, "This is your own house! Are you trying to run away from home?"

After Su Xiaoxiao drove Madam Zhao away, Bei Yan, who was standing nearby, came over in time to dissuade her, saying, "Madam, we've vented our anger, shouldn't we go now?"

Seeing that Madam Zhao had left her room, Su Xiaoxiao realized it wouldn't be good for her to be alone in someone else's room. Disappointed, she got up and said, "This is so boring. I thought she was someone of high caliber, but she just got angry and left."

After angering Madam Zhao, Su Xiaoxiao felt incredibly refreshed.

Ever since being provoked by Su Xiaoxiao, Madam Zhao has never dared to provoke Su Xiaoxiao again.

She's really behaving herself this time.

Meanwhile, Pei Yuan was busy with military affairs at the border. The border had once again encountered a foreign invasion, and this time they were extremely angry, burning, killing, and looting—truly committing all sorts of atrocities. At this time, a large number of refugees began to flee towards the capital.

Su Xiaoxiao was bored at home, so she would go out every day disguised as a man and wander around. When she saw refugees, she felt very sorry for them and would give them some money. No matter how much it was, it could temporarily solve some of their survival problems.

When she had some free time, Su Xiaoxiao went to Qian Musheng's residence and found that Qian Musheng had been staying at home and rarely went out.

Their soy sauce workshop gradually got on track, and Qian Musheng would only show up at the end of the month when the profits were distributed.

"You've actually come to the capital? Do you have a place to stay?"

Qian Musheng seemed very excited. Ever since he saw Su Xiaoxiao, Xiao Dengzi had been talking more about their master.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Yes, of course I'm staying at Pei Yuan's place."

Qian Musheng seemed surprised, "He's marrying you so soon?"

"I guess so, but the wedding hasn't started yet."

Su Xiaoxiao said this.

"That's good too. I knew Pei Yuan was indeed a man who dared to take responsibility. I wasn't wrong about him back then."

When Su Xiaoxiao heard Qian Musheng say this, she was also quite moved.

The two have become good friends who have known each other for a long time. Su Xiaoxiao has always been curious about what kind of woman Qian Musheng really likes.

Seeing that he hasn't made any move yet, and I haven't seen him show any interest in any woman, could it be that he's not gay?

Su Xiaoxiao quickly shook her head, telling herself to stop.

"By the way, Mr. Qian, there's something I'm quite curious about."
