Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos
Chapter 165: Cheating? Don't want to pay
"What does Madam Zhao mean?" Yao Qingnian snorted.
"Too little?" Old Madam Zhao didn't know that Yao Qingnian was the owner of Qingnian Gourmet Restaurant. She only asked the servants to call her over without asking any detailed questions.
"The bet that Miss Su signed with me was five thousand taels, and the old lady wants to get rid of me with just five hundred taels?"
"Don't be too greedy. These five hundred taels are a lot of money you country folk can never earn in your lifetime. If you know what's good for you, accept it and cancel the bet." Old Madam Zhao's face was full of anger, and she shouted with her eyebrows raised.
"What if I say I don't?"
"Then don't blame me for being rude." She slammed the table.
"Oh? How can the old lady be rude in broad daylight?" Yao Qingnian was not afraid at all. She sat on the stool without moving a hair.
"My son is the county magistrate! Don't be ungrateful." Seeing that she was indifferent, he threatened her again, but Yao Qingnian was unmoved.
"So what if you are the county magistrate? A prince who breaks the law is guilty just like the common people. Besides, Lord Zhao is an honest official. How could he be involved in corruption with you?"
"What a sharp-tongued girl! No wonder she deceived Yanyan so much. Someone, close the gate. If she doesn't show us the bet, don't let her out."
At Madam Zhao's command, servants immediately gathered around.
"Are you sure you can stop me?" Yao Qingnian looked at the two of them with cold eyes.
"Why are you wasting your time talking to her! Grandma, catch her!" Su Yanyan wanted to strangle her to death.
"If you want a bet, come and get it! Tsk tsk, if you can't afford to lose, don't bet. The old lady and the cousin of the county magistrate's mansion, who claim to be from a wealthy family, do such shameless things, and they are not afraid of it getting out." Yao Qingnian took out the bet and spread it in front of the two men.
"Come on, why are you still standing there? If you keep talking stubbornly now, you will suffer the consequences later." She just didn't believe that a country woman like her could turn the world upside down.
The servant came towards her, Yao Qingnian dodged, and the person was caught off guard and fell to the ground. Then another servant came, and she did not dodge. Just when they thought they were about to catch her, Yao Qingnian dodged just in time. With a "bang", a vase fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
"My white jade vase!"
"Oh! How could you be so careless as to break all of your old lady's vases." Yao Qingnian pretended to be surprised.
Then, all kinds of broken sounds were heard...
"My official kiln blue and white porcelain! Ah! Ah! Stop! Stop it!" The old lady watched her treasures being broken one after another. She felt so heartbroken that she fainted.
"Grandma! Call a doctor quickly!" Su Yanyan ran over and helped the old lady lie down on the bed.
For a moment, the yard was in chaos.
The old woman was full of energy just now, but she can’t stand such a little stimulation?
Yao Qingnian walked over and wanted to examine her.
"What are you doing! Don't touch my grandmother. If anything happens to her, my uncle will not forgive you." Su Yanyan stopped her.
"Get out of the way! You are the one who deserves to be damned if anything happens to her! You instigated your grandmother to cause trouble for me, don't put the blame on me here! Lord Zhao is an honest official, it's a misfortune for your family to have a niece like you." Yao Qingnian pushed people aside and took Madam Zhao's pulse.
"You! What nonsense are you talking about, you vicious woman!"
Yao Qingnian ignored her and concentrated on taking the old woman's pulse. Her blood pressure and blood lipids were very high, and her qi and blood were rushing up. No wonder she fainted so easily.
She took out a silver needle from the space and began to give acupuncture to Old Madam Zhao.
Zhao Chengfeng rushed back immediately after receiving the news from the servants. As soon as he came in, he saw the mess in the yard. On the way, the servants told him everything about the situation. He felt a headache after hearing it. It seemed that he really couldn't keep this niece. After this matter was over, he must let her go back.
As soon as he walked outside the house, he heard the conversation between Yao Qingnian and Su Yanyan. He signaled the servants to keep quiet.
"You want to stab my grandmother to death with such a big needle? Someone, someone is killing someone!"
"Shut up!" Yao Qingnian pressed acupoints on her to calm her down, then picked up a piece of cloth and stuffed it into her mouth.
Yao Qingnian waited until her breathing calmed down before taking out the needle and putting it back into the space.
The court doctor also rushed over at this time. Seeing Zhao Chengfeng standing outside the door, he bowed and said, "Sir."
Yao Qingnian already knew that there was someone standing outside the door, so she was not surprised.
"No need to formality, just go in and check on the old lady." Following his signal, the doctor went in to check on the old lady's pulse, and Yao Qingnian stepped aside.
"Um... um..." Su Yanyan's mouth was blocked and she couldn't speak. Zhao Chengfeng walked straight past her without even looking at her.
"Your Excellency, the old lady was very angry, but it seems someone gave her first aid with an injection. She is now stable and is fine. She will wake up after a short rest." The court doctor reported truthfully.
"Well, you go down!" Zhao Chengfeng waved his hand.
Yao Qingnian untied Su Yanyan's hole. She was free and quickly took off the cloth from her mouth: "Uncle! This woman wants to harm my grandmother, you should arrest her quickly."
"Someone come here!" Zhao Chengfeng said.
Su Yanyan was overjoyed, thinking that her uncle had thought it through and wanted to arrest Yao Qingnian.
"Catch Su Yanyan and take her back to her courtyard! Without my order, anyone who dares to let her out will be punished with a cane and expelled from the mansion. Even the old lady cannot do that! Do you hear me?"
Su Yanyan was dumbfounded: "Uncle! Why are you arresting me? Arrest her! She made my grandmother faint from anger and smashed all of her most precious and favorite vases."
"Shut up!" Zhao Chengfeng was so angry that he slapped her again. This was the second time Su Yanyan was beaten. She covered her face, looked at her uncle with grievance and resentment, and stopped talking.
"What are you standing there for? Take him away!"
"Yes! My lord!" The servants then took the stunned Su Yanyan away.
After everyone left, Zhao Chengfeng spoke up, "Miss Yao, I was not aware of what happened today. I would like to apologize to you on behalf of my old lady and thank you for saving her."
He bowed to Yao Qingnian and apologized sincerely.
One or two of them, it's not worry-free at all.
Yao Qingnian quickly turned aside and said, "You are a good official, but I am just a commoner. I cannot accept such a great gift from you."
"Don't worry, I will discipline him strictly! Things like today will never happen again." Lord Zhao assured Yao Qingnian.
"My Lord, please take care of your family affairs first! If this matter gets out, your reputation in Anding County will be ruined."
"Thank you Miss Yao for the reminder."
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first, Lord Zhao." After all this trouble, Yao Qingnian believed that Old Madam Zhao would not dare to trouble her again.
"Someone, send Miss Yao out..."
