ifficult, vegetables have become treasures. 。Once they arrive in the city, those wealthy families would certainly be willing to pay silver. 。Just so happens, the ones coming back to draw water this tr...Tao Hongying feigned surprise, then smiled, “Oh my, excuse me, excuse me! I completely forgot to introduce myself to Mrs. Wu just now!”

"But our family is small and humble, and my husband's name is not well-known. Perhaps your wife wouldn't even know it. But if you mention my daughter, Mistress Wu must know her."

Mrs. Wu snorted coldly, "Who is your daughter Just some stray cat or dog, I don't recognize her!"

"No," Tao Hongying slowly retracted her smile, her face equally cold, "Mrs. Wu doesn't know anyone, and it's impossible she wouldn't know my daughter."

"Because, my daughter is... Kang Le County Princess, bestowed with the estate of Sui Jin Tan!"

Princess Kangle

Stained Gold Beach!

Mrs. Wu's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively shrank her shoulders, paling slightly.

No wonder this woman came up and exposed her family's dirty laundry, she was the mother of that girl!

She tried to calm herself down and speak, but Tao Hongying spoke first.

"Madam Wu's expression seems to indicate she's remembering something. Madam Wu, could you please tell me why you seem so familiar with my daughter"

Tao Hongying almost gritted her teeth, forcing a smile as she asked, “After all, Mrs. Wu is such an esteemed figure, to know my daughter would be my daughter’s honor!”

"In the future, Mrs. Wu must come to our home as a guest. I may not be good at other things, but I'm best at chopping meat and skinning it!"

She spoke the last eight characters, one by one, each syllable drawn out. Listening to this, Madam Wu couldn't help but tremble inside.

She absolutely didn't doubt that if there was a knife at hand, this County Princess Kangle's mother would immediately have her slaughtered!

But thinking of the Empress in the palace, she forced a smile and sneered: "She's just a peasant girl. What face does she have to invite me to dinner! Hmph, I find her too common!"

Tao Hongying brushed her sleeves and retorted, "Mrs. Wu, your words are even more vulgar than those of a street woman."

Who has ever been a scholar's family from ancient times Going back three generations, aren't they all peasants

"Besides, what's wrong with being a peasant You eat the grain, vegetables, chicken, fish, eggs – all products of peasant labor. Doesn't Mrs. Wu usually disdain these things as dirty"

"What does Mrs. Wu eat on a daily basis Is she so impoverished that she has to make do with nothing but the north wind through a hole in the window, three times a day!”

"Pfft!"

A multitude of women, who were munching on melons, could no longer hold back their laughter and let out snickers. However, they were afraid of offending Mrs. Wu, so they quickly disguised their laughter as coughs.

Mrs. Cao was so angry that her hair stood on end. A son of the Wu family had done such a disgraceful thing, and he actually dared to covet her precious daughter!

Hearing Tao Hongying scold so passionately, I felt a sense of relief and satisfaction.

She was truly overjoyed that she invited Tao Hongying to have a drink today!

Mrs. Wu's face was so dark it looked like it would drip ink.

When has she ever been so embarrassed!

Indeed, the entire Li family are a scourge. They have stolen their daughter's fortune and blocked her from producing a prince. Not only do they show no remorse, but they act so arrogantly!

"Well, well, Mrs. Li Si is quite sharp-tongued indeed! I underestimated you!" Knowing she couldn't win today, she stood up and said, "I hope you can always be so sharp-tongued and never bow down to me!"

Tao Hongying also stood up, her spine straight, “This is no trouble for Mrs. Wu to worry about! Our Li family walks upright and sits properly. We are loyal to the heavens and martial arts, and we have clear consciences towards everyone in the world!”

Even if I were to lower myself to anyone, I wouldn't lower myself to you!

"Whose daughters are all born after ten months of pregnancy and carefully raised, they are the apple of their mother's eyes. Don't just think that your own is the most precious!"

"I, Tao Hongying, am just a farmer's daughter. I'm not afraid of anyone wearing shoes! If anyone dares to touch my daughter, I will fight them to the death and see who regrets it!"

Mrs. Wu gritted her teeth and didn't even greet Mrs. Cao before turning and leaving.

Tao Hongying was still indignant and shouted after him.

"When you go back, Mistress Wu, tell your uncle that he shouldn't bring his mistress to our shop anymore! Our shop only welcomes respectable people!"

Mrs. Wu stumbled, turned her head and glared fiercely at Tao Hongying before quickly leaving.

Tao Hongying sat gracefully, took a sip of cold tea, and let out a long sigh.

The hate that had been festering in her belly for half a month, finally lessened a bit!

She was born a chubby little girl on the road of displacement, a daughter raised with mouthful of rice and mouthful of water. That was her fate!

She can scold and discipline, but no one is allowed to hurt a single hair on her daughter's head!

Mrs. Liu patted her chest quietly, still feeling a little shaken.

That's the Empress Dowager's mother, being berated like that by Tao Hongying, leaving with a face full of spittle and shame

After this, she probably won't have to bring Tao Hongying to social gatherings anymore. Tao Hongying has become famous after this battle!

As expected, Mrs. Cao and all the women in the house looked at Tao Hongying with shining eyes.

Astonishment and admiration must have streamed from their eyes.

They also heard a little bit, the Wu family and the Li family were feuding, or because Princess Kangle had made the feud!

Could it be that Master Wu is bullying County Princess Kang Le

No, it seems like the Empress is bullying County Master Kang Le, but how come we haven't heard a single word about it

And Princess Kangle had been ill for a long time and hadn't entered the palace...

There was a feeling in everyone's hearts, like they had a little rabbit scratching them, making it almost unbearable.

But they dared not ask, for fear that Tao Hongying would scold them again...

Their combat strength is too overwhelming, they can't withstand it!

The house was unnaturally quiet for a moment. Cao, the mistress of the household, quickly ushered everyone to have tea and snacks. She then spoke about the booming business at Baiyun Inn and proactively extended an olive branch to Tao Hongying.

"Fourth Madam, my Lan'er has reached marriageable age, and our family is starting to look for a husband for her. I have privately prepared quite a bit of dowry for her, and it is almost complete."

But there was still one missing pastry recipe. Thinking she should learn some skills so that when she got married, she could better serve her in-laws and gain their affection.

"I wonder if Mrs. Li has a suitable candidate. I'm willing to offer a high price."

Tao Hongying smiled and said, “Mrs. Cao, you're too kind. You and my sister-in-law are close friends, so I should call you elder sister. That Mo Lan is my niece.”

"A dowry for my niece needs a recipe, and as her aunt, I naturally need to help."

"By coincidence, I was experimenting with a type of custard cake the other day. It's small and delicate in appearance, soft and melts in your mouth, it's quite good. I haven't sold it at Baiyun Guan. It's just a little treat for our elderly family members and children to enjoy occasionally.

"Tomorrow I'll have someone bring over a box for Cao jie to try. If you find it agreeable, then we'll finalize this recipe."

When Lady Cao heard this, her eyes lit up with joy, and she quickly thanked him.

Before, we treated this newly rich Li family with a respectful distance. But after interacting with them today, I found that Mrs. Li Si is capable and straightforward. Perhaps we should visit more often in the future.

Actually, she wasn't really lacking that snack recipe. She was just using it as an excuse to send more gifts to the Li family tomorrow.

After all, Tao Hongying had just exposed the Duke's misdeeds, indirectly saving her daughter from jumping into a fire pit...

With laughter and chatter, the banquet was soon set up.

Tao Hongying was given a seat at the main table by Mrs. Cao, and Tao Hongying did not back down, sitting down generously and complimenting the dishes.

She was a natural cook, knowing everything about dishes, from their color and flavor to the techniques used in preparation. She would often share little cooking tips with everyone.

The women were intrigued and couldn't help but ask a few questions, which made the banquet even more lively.to come, we still need to find a way."Crack!" Just as Mrs. Wu was lost in thought, there came a sudden sharp crack from the carriage below.The coachman quickly stopped the carriage. A guard stepped fo...
