Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 444 How dare you give boiling water to the old lady?

Mrs. Huo could no longer suppress her anger. With a "bang", she smashed the expensive teacup in her hand to the ground. The porcelain shattered into pieces in an instant, and tea splashed everywhere.

Madam Huo yelled at the top of her voice:

"Asshole, do you still have any manners? Since I'm the Huo family's granddaughter-in-law, don't you need to kneel down and bow to me when you see me?

Also, this is Huo Jun's mother, don't you know any rules?"

Zhao Qiaoniang looked at Old Madam Huo with a half-smile and said, "Of course you have to kneel down and worship."

Mrs. Huo glanced at her calmly and said, "Bring two cups of tea."

Soon, two maids came over, each holding a teacup.

Zhao Qiaoniang took the teacup without hesitation, walked lightly to Old Madam Huo and Madam Huo, bowed slightly, and prepared to serve tea with a dignified posture.

Mrs. Huo was wearing a plain brocade dress, which was simply cut yet elegant, without too many complicated decorations.

Only the Buddhist beads in her hand had a warm color, swaying gently with her movements, highlighting her gentleness and elegance.

Old Madam Huo sat in the upper seat, full of aura.

She wore a red gold hairpin inlaid with kingfisher feathers and gems. The coral, jadeite and pearls were matched just right, and it looked exquisite and noble. The kingfisher feather craftsmanship made it more lively.

She was wearing a dark purple satin jacket embroidered with lotus patterns, made of top-quality silk thread with a soft luster.

Zhao Qiaoniang held the teacup steadily in both hands and handed it to Mrs. Huo with a perfect smile on her face and her eyes full of respect.

Mrs. Huo took the teacup calmly and took a sip.

In an instant, her expression changed drastically, and she spat out the tea in her mouth with a "puff" sound. Then she slammed the teacup onto the table and shouted loudly:

"What kind of tea is this! It's so hot, are you trying to scald me to death?

I think you did it on purpose. How could a bride be so impetuous when offering tea to her elders? "

She stood up slowly, her posture straight, and stared straight at the two maids beside her who still had gloating expressions on their faces.

Before everyone could react, Zhao Qiaoniang swung her arm, and with two crisp "Pa! Pa!" sounds, her slaps fell on the faces of the two maids like a storm.

The two blows were so powerful that the maids' heads tilted aside and they stood there in a daze, with bright red slap marks quickly appearing on their faces.

Zhao Qiaoniang glared at them coldly, her voice tinged with frost:

"If I were to drink this tea, it would be hot, but I can bear it.

But this is tea for the old lady! How dare you give her hot water?

Who gave you the courage to act so recklessly? It's fine if you look down on me, but you don't even take the old lady seriously! "

Before she finished speaking, she raised her hand again and slapped him hard. The "slap" sound was particularly harsh in the silent room.

But in the blink of an eye, the two girls' faces swelled up like steamed buns made of leavened dough.

This scene shocked everyone present and made them gasp. Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to say a word.

Zhao Qiaoniang turned around and put on a gentle and pleasant face, looking at Mrs. Huo, her tone so soft that water could drip out:

"Old Madam, please don't be angry. If you get sick from anger, we, the younger generation, will be guilty.

Please take a rest, I will make you another cup of tea."

After saying that, she walked lightly towards the tea room next door.

After a moment, he came back steadily holding a bowl of tea, and handed the tea to Mrs. Huo with both hands in a respectful manner.

Mrs. Huo looked at the bowl of tea and felt so angry that she wanted to vomit blood.

Zhao Qiaoniang's cruel and brutal look just now was still vivid in her mind. She was really afraid that if she didn't drink, Zhao Qiaoniang would slap her mercilessly again.

Helplessly, Mrs. Huo could only suppress her anger, reached out to take the teacup, and forced a smile on her face that was uglier than crying.

After drinking the tea, Zhao Qiaoniang looked at them with a smile and said nothing.

People around were whispering, but they didn't dare to speak as blatantly as before.

Mrs. Huo slowly raised her hand, and the nanny beside her immediately understood. She stepped forward, holding a finely crafted vermilion lacquered wooden box in her hands.

Mrs. Huo handed over the gold lock and jade bracelet, her expression indifferent and her tone distant:

"This is a welcome gift for you. I usually devote myself to Buddhism and meditation, and rarely leave my room.

From now on, you don't have to come to me so often to pay your respects, so as not to disturb my peace."

After saying this, she bowed slightly as a farewell to everyone, then slowly left with the old nanny beside her.

She held her back straight and walked at a steady pace, but her slightly thin figure, flickering in the candlelight, added a touch of loneliness.

A woman in silk clothes couldn't help but whispered:

"Sure enough, Huo Jun's mother doesn't like her as a daughter-in-law.

If my son married a wife like this, I would be so angry that I would die.

Fortunately, Mrs. Huo was magnanimous and didn't bother with her."

A slightly frail woman beside her nodded in agreement and sighed softly:

“Ah, but Mrs. Huo doesn’t have much real power in this family now, so she has no say.

Going to a temple to practice meditation and be at peace is the best option, perhaps!"

Zhao Qiaoniang, with a graceful figure, bowed respectfully to Old Lady Huo, who was sitting in the main seat, and said, "Then I will take my leave first."

Mrs. Huo snorted coldly and said:

"I haven't even told you to leave yet, and you want to leave? Is this the rule for you as a granddaughter-in-law?

He really is from the countryside, he doesn't know any etiquette!"

Zhao Qiaoniang asked in return, "Then... so you mean to stay overnight?"

Mrs. Huo raised a mocking arc at the corner of her mouth and sneered coldly:

"What a shame! I'm going to teach you a lesson today.

You are just the one Huo Jun married from outside, and our family has never recognized your identity.

Don't think that you can rest easy once you enter the Huo family. We, the Huo family, cannot tolerate you!

I heard that you had a child when you married Huo Jun. Are you worthy of my Huo Jun?"

Shen Mingyue walked in with graceful steps, bowed slightly, and said in a clear and melodious voice: "Greetings to the old lady."

Seeing this, Mrs. Huo quickly reached out and took Shen Mingyue's hand, with a smile on her face, and said affectionately:

"Hey, Mingyue, why are you here to pay your respects so early?

Why don’t you get more sleep? "

Shen Mingyue's lips curled up, and she smiled, her tone coquettish and intimate:

"Oh! I missed you so much that I wanted to come see you sooner.

I also brought you some deer antlers, ginseng, and bird's nests to nourish your body." Mrs. Huo nodded with satisfaction.

She glanced at Zhao Qiaoniang and said something with a hint of meaning:

“You are thoughtful, unlike some people who come empty-handed.

After all, he is ignorant and cannot even be compared with you."
