Chapter 22 Repentance
In this weird situation, Xiao Jinfeng became more and more uneasy, while Xiao Jinyan was as calm as an old monk entering Zen.

Just like that, an hour later, the tea in their cups was already cold, and the hostess of the Xiao family came late.

Xiao Jinyan looked up, and saw Mrs. Fu wearing a big peony emerald green veil Bixia Luo, a skirt of purple daffodils scattered flowers and green leaves stretching across the floor, a thin emerald green gauze with thin gold threads, and even more overlapping gold ornaments on her head. , looking only in her forties, her whole body exudes wealth and grace.

It's just that the indifference and sarcasm in Mrs. Fu's eyes abruptly destroyed her dignity.

"The late student Xiao Jinfeng met his wife." Seeing the elder come out, Xiao Jinfeng immediately stood up and bowed his hands.

"Junior Xiao Jinyan has met Madam." Xiao Jinyan also stood up.

"Sit down." Madam Fu said coldly, her voice seemed to be filled with ice, without any warmth.

Xiao Jinyan sighed inwardly, and sat down calmly.

"How are your parents?" Mrs. Fu looked at them unabashedly before asking indifferently.

When Xiao Jinfeng heard her mention her parents, she was relieved.It's not bad, she still remembers her parents, so she must have made plans for marriage long ago.

"My parents just passed away." Xiao Jinfeng asked sadly.

"Since your parents passed away, why don't you keep filial piety in Jiangnan?" Mrs. Fu asked sharply.

Xiao Jinyan raised her head abruptly, the respect in her eyes had lost a lot.

"Because when my father passed away, he repeatedly asked us to come to the capital to fulfill the marriage contract between the Fu and Xiao families. If the eldest brother kept his filial piety in the south of the Yangtze River, it would definitely delay the second lady. Therefore, my lord father hopes that we can come to the capital as soon as possible so that Madam, make preparations so that the second young lady and the eldest brother can be fulfilled, and the marriage can be completed as soon as possible within a hundred days. Otherwise, it will be bad for the second young lady and the eldest brother if it is delayed for three years." Xiao Jinyan decided to cut the mess quickly, and she directly explained her intentions without hesitation. .

"Presumptuous." Mrs. Fu slapped the table and stood up, "What nonsense are you talking about? Why did our Fu family have any marriage contract with your Xiao family? You don't come here to ruin my daughter's reputation, otherwise, this lady will not forgive you."

Xiao Jinfeng was overwhelmed by this change for a moment, and he stuttered a little, "Ma'am, it was obviously Mrs. Fu and my father who made the marriage contract for me and Second Miss. This is also proved by the jade pendant."

"Jade pendant?" Mrs. Fu asked with a sneer, "Yes, when your mother gave birth, we gave your Xiao family a jade pendant, but it was a congratulatory gift from us at the beginning. What kind of token is it? Later, your Xiao family gave birth to me When I gave birth to my daughter, I also sent another jade pendant as a congratulatory gift, are you saying that that jade pendant is the dowry gift? I think you are crazy to blackmail people."

Xiao Jinfeng was stunned by her inversion of black and white.He never expected that Fu Shidu's wife would be so hypocritical and pungent, even more annoying than the unreasonable wife in the country.

"Even if you want to repudiate the marriage, you can't slander us." He was so angry that his lips trembled, "Obviously..."

"It's obvious that you want to blackmail our Fu family. Let me tell you, it depends on who is blackmailing? You keep saying that our two families have an engagement, so do you have a marriage certificate?" Mrs. Fu interrupted him with a sneer.

Xiao Jinyan immediately understood her plan.

The Xiao family did not have a marriage certificate. It was just a verbal agreement between the two families. Where did the marriage certificate come from?That's exactly what Mrs. Fu had in mind.

"Hey, the toad wants to eat swan meat. My second young lady has already made a marriage contract with the second son of the Hou's mansion. You two poor boys are poor and crazy, and you came here to blackmail people." The old woman standing behind Mrs. Fu Zigou pointed at Xiao Jinyan and his siblings and scolded them.

Madam Fu frowned and stared back at her.

The mother-in-law was startled, and immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing, she shrank aside in fright and dared not speak again.

"It turned out to be climbing a tall branch." Xiao Jinyan stood up with a sneer, "The last thing I see is someone who wants to be a bitch and wants to build a memorial archway."

"Presumptuous, come here, give me a slap." Mrs. Fu pointed at her and cursed.

Immediately, a group of servants and mother-in-law rushed in with sticks. Judging by their posture, they were clearly prepared.

Xiao Jinfeng was shocked, and immediately turned around, protecting Xiao Jinyan behind him, "You regretted your marriage before, but you still want to hit someone. Don't you think there is no king's law? Are you not afraid that we will go to the yamen to sue you?"

"You should sue." Mrs. Fu pointed at them angrily, "The scoundrels should be beaten. You have no evidence to tarnish my daughter's reputation, shouldn't you be beaten? We are not afraid of where you sue."

Compared to Xiao Jinfeng's nervousness, Xiao Jinyan was much calmer. "well said."

Mrs. Fu glared at her sideways, wishing she could step forward and bite her to death.

"Today, if we lose a single hair in the Fu family, I will definitely sue the imperial court. Even if the lawsuit is unsuccessful, your family will not even try to take advantage of it. This is at the feet of the emperor. I think we two are alive, and you Fu The family doesn't have the guts to really beat us to death." Xiao Jinyan really went all out, and to be honest, she didn't approve of baby kissing or anything like that.If the Fu family had negotiated with them in private from the beginning, she would have helped the Fu family persuade Xiao Jinfeng to let go.After all, twisted melons are not sweet, marriage is not a child's play, and she also hopes that Xiao Jinfeng will be happy in the future.

But the Fu family is too bullying, she really can't swallow this breath.She wants to see how arrogant the Fu family can go.

"You?" Mrs. Fu was so angry that she almost rolled her eyes and fainted.

"I wanted to take care of you for the sake of my old friend. But you are really annoying, why are you standing there stupidly? Come and call me." She couldn't help it.

Xiao Jinfeng firmly guarded Jinyan behind him, while Xiao Jinyan just looked at Mrs. Fu with a sneer.

She waited for the man from the Fu family to show up.At this hour, the men of the Fu family must be in the house.

"Wait." Just when the servant really raised the stick in his hand, a majestic voice sounded.

Xiao Jinyan and Xiao Jinfeng turned their heads to look at the sound, and saw a middle-aged man coming in. This man was still wearing official clothes, with a square face, he looked like a decent person.

Xiao Jinyan knew that this person was very despicable.

"Master Fu and Mr. Fu are finally willing to show up?" Now that the face has been torn, Xiao Jinyan doesn't want to save any face for the other party at all. "Master Fu is worthy of the official robes on his body?"

Fu Yansheng blushed slightly when he heard this, but soon he regained his composure, "Nephew, please sit down."

Xiao Jinfeng looked at them defensively, without moving his body.

"Not yet." Mr. Fu reprimanded the servants in a cold voice.

The servant immediately ran out with his head down.

"Brother Xiao, he..."

"I think Mrs. Fu heard it very clearly from behind. My parents are no longer here, so you don't have to pretend to mention that you have failed the oath of the deceased. Mrs. Fu doesn't feel ashamed. I'm afraid that my parents will come to you in the middle of the night to settle accounts and be disgusted. .” Xiao Jinyan looked at him with a half-smile.

"Presumptuous." Fu Yansheng was also really angry.

"Don't think we really dare not touch you." Mr. Fu also began to threaten.

"You really dare not touch us." Xiao Jinyan sat down suddenly with a smile on her face, "You can't afford to gamble, but we have nothing, we are willing to cut ourselves to pieces, and we are not afraid of anything. Unless..."

"Unless what?" Mr. Fu asked nervously.

"Unless you are willing to abandon the marriage in the Minister's Mansion and the official clothes worn by Lord Fu." Xiao Jinyan laughed and said with a very presumptuous attitude. "And not afraid of jail time."

After Fu Yansheng heard this, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and his eyes stabbed at Xiao Jinyan like knives.

Xiao Jinyan looked at him with the expression of watching a play, without any fear.

 Merry Christmas my dears!
