"There's no need to be busy. I'm here with someone else today, not a guest of the Hou family."
As soon as Jiang Miao finished speaking, there were voices of discussion around him.
"Who did the princess come with? Who is so proud that the princess can come here?"
"It can't be the eldest princess, right? I didn't hear that the Hou family has a good relationship with the eldest princess. Could it be the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
The Hou family has been established in the capital for so many years, so they naturally have a backer behind them. Hou Shixian's father was once the shopkeeper of the Liu family, and later he went out on his own to expand the Hou family's large business. Hou Shixian's father was a capable man, and he quickly became successful thanks to the Liu family.
It's just that he died early, and Hou Shixian couldn't keep the family business. After the decline of Prime Minister Liu, the Hou family's business was also affected, and the business in the shop became worse and worse. Otherwise, Hou Shixian would not have thought of attacking shopkeeper Qin.
"That's naturally impossible. Who in the capital doesn't know that Princess Rongning and Madam Liu are incompatible with each other. The one is now ruined. How could the Liu family let her come with her?"
The person who just spoke also knew that his guess was wrong. He was not the Liu family nor the eldest princess...
"Who could that be?"
Everyone's questions were written on their faces, and they all looked at Jiang Miao. Shopkeeper Qin, who was ignored by them, held her daughter tightly, her eyes warm, and her heart full of excitement.
"Follow her."
Jiang Miao raised her feet and walked towards Shopkeeper Qin. Qin Yanjun walked up to Shopkeeper Qin first, took her hand and exchanged greetings.
"Sister, why did you come here first? You didn't bring any maids or guards with you. If you were bullied by the Hou family, you don't even have help."
Qin Yanjun was staying at her maternal grandfather's house these days, and happened to be separated from shopkeeper Qin. Her grandmother held her back and refused to let her go home. If it hadn't been for Yuanyuan's birthday today, she wouldn't have been able to get away.
The Hou family has a criminal record. When Shopkeeper Qin reconciled with Hou Shixian, the Hou family used their power to bully her and force her to leave the house. If they bully her more this time, Shopkeeper Qin, a weak woman, will be easily bullied.
"It's okay, I know what's going on."
Shopkeeper Qin patted her hand and comforted her by saying that Hou Shixian had not yet completed his goal and would never dare to do anything to her. It was too late to respect her.
Qin Yanjun stood behind her with a sullen face and glared at the Hou family. Those who had bullied her eldest sister were not good people. She wanted to protect her eldest sister and would never be bullied by them again.
The Hou family had no time to pay attention to her, and now all three of them were shocked by Jiang Miao's words.
"Why did the princess come with the Qin family? How can she be so virtuous and capable?"
Mrs. Hou was leaning on crutches, her face full of disdain.
What qualifications does a widow from the Qin family have to become the eldest princess?
This is probably the engagement between Qin Yanjun and Shen Anyian, so let's get Princess Rongning to support Qin Huixin.
"Princess, you don't know that Mrs. Qin was careless when she was a daughter-in-law. Shixian was honest and did not care about anything. She only thought about her family. But this daughter-in-law is not satisfied. She insists on getting along with Shixian and doesn't even want her daughter.
, but Shixian couldn't let it go. It was Bu Yuanyuan's birthday, so he begged Mrs. Qin to come back and see his daughter..."
Mrs. Hou burst into tears, thinking that Jiang Miao knew nothing about the Hou family, so she wanted to discredit Shopkeeper Qin and promote Hou Shixian.
Today she wants to reunite shopkeeper Qin with Hou Shixian. Qin Huixin is a helpless widow, and the Hou family is willing to let her back. This is so generous. Princess Rongning will definitely stand on their side after hearing this.
Therefore, Mrs. Hou's words became more and more exaggerated, placing all the mistakes on Shopkeeper Qin, and Hou Shixian in her mouth became pitiful.
"Princess, the old lady is getting old, and she just wants to see her family reunited. We, the Hou family, can forget about the things Qin did in the past. As long as she can live peacefully in the future, the old lady will be satisfied even if she dies."
"Pop!"
Jiang Miao couldn't help but applaud her. It would be a pity for Madam Hou not to sing in operas due to her acting skills.
"If I didn't know the inside story, I might have been fooled by you this time."
Jiang Miao sneered and took two steps forward to stand next to Shopkeeper Qin.
"You, the Hou family, are unkind and unjust. When the in-laws are in trouble, you force your daughter-in-law to leave the house. You can't find a single such thing in the capital. I didn't expect that only five years ago, you are trying to cover up the truth to smear the story."
Shopkeeper Qin?"
"What is the princess saying? Those are all rumors from the outside. How could our Hou family be like this? You have never had contact with the Qin family, so you will naturally be deceived by the rumors from the outside. She is not a simple person.
, even after we divorced, we did not forget to smear her husband’s family. My Shixian has cared about the relationship between husband and wife for so many years and has been taking the blame, but he has been greatly wronged.”
Mrs. Hou wiped her tears with her sleeves, and the expression on her face was that she accused Jiang Miao of mistaking other people's words and slandering the Hou family.
"Tsk, what a pity. My princess and Shopkeeper Qin have been friends for many years. I know everything about what your Hou family does. I came to the Hou family today just to support Shopkeeper Qin. With me here, you guys
No matter how many sweet words you say, others won’t believe you.”
"Friend? Qin, why didn't you tell me?"
Mrs. Hou was so shocked that her face turned green. If she knew that Jiang Miao and shopkeeper Qin knew each other, why would she act here? It would be a joke to others.
When Hou Shixian saw his mother being slapped in the face, he also disapproved of it, and looked at Shopkeeper Qin with complaints in his eyes.
"My mother is so old, why do you tease her like this? No matter how angry you are at me, my mother has not sorry for you."
The mother and son of the Hou family criticized Shopkeeper Qin one after another. Not only Jiang Miao couldn't stand the natural look, but the ladies and ladies next to her also found it disgusting.
"Why didn't you stand up for your mother to smear Qin's reputation just now? Now that she's been exposed, you've stepped forward."
"That is, everyone in your Hou family knows what happened. You know why you called your wife here today. Not only do you want to be nice to her, but you also bully her in public. I don't know where your Hou family's face comes from.
I really thought I could coax people back with a hook."
"That's definitely impossible. Didn't you hear what the princess said? She and Mrs. Qin have been friends for many years. Looking at her clothes, Mrs. Qin must have lived a good life in these years. She is much more glamorous than the daughter-in-law Hou Shixian married later. I think
It is simply impossible to make Mrs. Qin change her mind."
The Hou family members were scolded by the ladies in front of their faces, their faces turned red, and Hou Shixian became angry with shame.
"No matter how well she has lived these years, she is just a widow. What can she do without a man? If you get back together with me, you will still be the wife of the Hou family. Otherwise, you will still not be able to see Yuanyuan in the future."
Hou Shixian knew her weakness. Shopkeeper Qin was willing to return to Beijing just for the sake of his daughter. As expected, as soon as he finished speaking, Shopkeeper Qin's face turned pale with anger.
"Hou Shixian, you are shameless!"
Apart from his daughter, he has nothing else to threaten?
"I'm so shameless. My daughter is in my hands. Is there any way you can take it back? If you're wise, just agree to my terms and come home with me."
