Chapter 866: Chapter 866 Are You Embarrassed_1
Qiao Xiaomai stopped in her tracks upon hearing this.
She turned around to look in the direction of the screen, realizing it all at once.
Today, Zhang Family was ready to make a sensation.
The feast today was a setup.
Curving her lips into a smile, she looked at Shopkeeper He, who was walking towards her from behind the counter, and said, “Shopkeeper, have someone remove this screen. Don’t obstruct the esteemed mother of Scholar Tong in her storytelling mood.”
Shopkeeper He’s face twisted as though he had just swallowed the bitter taste of Coptis.
Scholar Tong’s mother was stirring up trouble, and both were his patrons; oh, which side should he take!
Seeing his dilemma, Qiao Xiaomai spoke again, “Have someone move the screen; Scholar Tong’s honored mother wants to perform a play. Do you intend to prevent the guests from watching?”
Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper He couldn’t help but raise his sleeves to wipe the non-existent sweat from his brow.
His dear wife, oh!
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.
You are the lead in this drama!
To just let any onlooker watch?
Family disgrace should not be exposed!
Seeing that Shopkeeper He was still hesitating, Xiaomai’s face turned cold, “Move it!”
Her tone was sharp.
Shopkeeper He had never seen such a Qiao Xiaomai before. Feeling a sudden chill, he immediately stopped hesitating and hurriedly gestured to the waiters in the Main Hall, “Move it, move it!”
The waiters hastily put down the trays they were carrying to lift the screen.
With the screen moved aside, Zhang Family’s face, as black as the bottom of a pot, was exposed.
At her side stood Scholar Tong, with his sword-like eyebrows tightly knitted, quietly pleading with her, “Mother, can you please stop this?”
“You are now the mother of a scholar; can’t you pay some attention to your status?”
Without mentioning it, things were still manageable, but once it was out, Zhang Family exploded immediately, “You still have the nerve to mention ‘scholar’ to me?! Tell me, since you passed the examination, what benefits have I, your mother, reaped?”
“I haven’t gained a single copper coin’s benefit!”
“Look around the whole Daqi and ask, which scholar is as ineffectual as you?”
“Go and ask, which scholar’s mother is as pitiful as I am?!”
The more she talked, the more agitated she became. Recalling the grievances she had suffered recently, she pushed Scholar Tong with her hand.
Scholar Tong staggered backward and then stood still.
He took a long breath, “Mother, when you did those things back then, did you ever consider today?”
“You sowed the seeds that day, and that’s why there is the fruit today.”
“What have I done? What exactly have I done?!” Zhang Family raised her hand, pointing at Scholar Tong’s nose and cursed, “Besides, even if I really did something, we are all family. Qiao Xiaomai has declared that she does not recognize members of the Tong Family, does not treat members of the Tong Family as her own family, so you just obediently follow her like a dog and marry into the Qiao Family.”
“I gave birth to you, I’ve struggled to raise you till now, all for you to abandon your mother and become a watch-dog for Qiao Xiaomai?”
“Even a dog doesn’t despise its impoverished home. Yet you, a distinguished scholar, are slaving away every day for a country girl. How does she treat you? She pays you a mere hundred taels of wages a month!”
“You, a scholar, are receiving a hundred taels silver from her every month! You dare to say that, I am ashamed to hear it!”
“And after becoming a recognized scholar, such a glorious occasion, but not even a banquet or celebration. Do you do justice to the elders who have taught you? Do you meet the expectations of our relatives who have high hopes for you?!”
“A man of great martial prowess, a scholar no less, completely controlled by a country lass. Aren’t you ashamed?”
