Chapter 468 Everyone’s Lady
Our young lady has no desire for Master Chen's wealth. She only wants to start from scratch with Master Chen and build a career with her own hands. That's why she came to the capital and opened this shop specializing in making baba."
Miss Wang opened her red lips slightly, her delicate voice tinged with sarcasm, "Since you keep saying you're not after money, then why did you choose the eldest son of the Chen family? Why not just an ordinary farmer? Who can stand up and vouch for what you've said?"
"This..." Dongmei was speechless, biting her lip, looking embarrassed. She knew in her heart that if she couldn't explain it clearly, it would be very detrimental to Taohua's reputation.
Wang's maid saw Dongmei fall silent after being questioned, and then looked at Taohua standing there. Although she didn't say anything, she had a kind of neither humble nor arrogant demeanor. She was immediately furious. In her eyes, Taohua was just an ignorant country girl. She actually dared to openly compete with her own young lady for her husband and glared at her, a maid from a wealthy family. She was simply too bold.
"Humph, you are just lying! Everyone knows that Young Master Chen is the only son of the richest man here. You vixen, you must be trying to climb up the social ladder and deliberately break up our young lady and Young Master Chen..." The maid put her hands on her hips, her face full of arrogance and domineering expression.
"Okay, stop arguing!" Awang frowned and shouted angrily, unable to bear it any longer. Then he said loudly, "It's me who likes Taohua. I've decided on her and I really want to marry her."
Miss Wang Er was shocked and angry when she heard Chen Zexi defend a "wild girl" like this. In her heart, she and Zexi were meant to be together. Even without Concubine Liu, she felt that they were destined to be together. Now, she believed that Concubine Liu's actions had caused Zexi to misunderstand her.
At this moment, her eyes were red, her voice was a little tearful, and she said anxiously: "Brother Zexi, you misunderstood me. Aunt Liu and I are not in the same group at all! We grew up together as childhood sweethearts. How could I possibly team up with her to harm you?
I know you are angry with me, so you are deliberately with this country girl. But the person you love most in your heart must be me! "
Taohua looked at Miss Wang Er calmly and said slowly, "Miss Wang, I heard you're a lady from a noble family. Yet, you're competing with a country girl like me for a man on the street. Don't you feel it's a loss of dignity for you as a lady from a noble family? Where has the upbringing you've received as a lady of a noble family gone now?"
Miss Wang Er's face turned red and white after hearing Taohua's words. She was angry and annoyed, and was so blocked that she couldn't say a word for a while.
She glared at Taohua fiercely, then sent a vicious look to the maid. The maid understood and immediately shouted at the top of her voice: "Beat this little bitch hard!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the servants of the Wang family swarmed over like wolves and tigers, and pounced on Taohua. Seeing this, Awang was extremely anxious and was about to hold Taohua tightly in his arms without thinking.
But at this moment, Miss Wang Er suddenly hugged him, sobbing and said coquettishly: "Brother Zexi, even if you blame me or are angry with me in your heart, you can't be so heartless!"
"Let me go!" Awang struggled hard and shouted anxiously, but Miss Wang Er was like a piece of plaster that could not be shaken off, sticking to him tightly.
Elsewhere, Dongmei and Taohua were being held tightly by one arm each by a servant from Miss Wang's household. The Wang servant, with a fierce look on her face, raised her hand high, about to strike Taohua in the face.
"Stop!" A loud shout like a bell suddenly rang out, and the maid of the Wang family was kicked out like a rag doll, and then fell heavily to the ground, groaning in pain.
"Miss Taohua, I am too late to save you!" As the words were spoken, a group of servants who came with Uncle Liu rushed into the crowd as fast as the wind. In the blink of an eye, they knocked the servants who were holding Taohua and Dongmei to the ground.
Taohua looked bewildered, her eyes filled with surprise and confusion as she looked at the fifty-year-old man in front of her with gray hair: "You are...?"
The old man hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed respectfully, his waist bent like a shrimp, and said humbly, "Miss Taohua, I am Liu Quan, the owner of Laifeng Tower. I heard today that your 'Baba King' has opened, and I came to congratulate you."
Liu Quan faced the onlookers with a kind and polite smile on his face, and said in a loud voice: "Dear neighbors, today is a happy day. It is the grand opening of the new shop 'Baba King' of our Lai Feng Lou's young master and future mistress."
Then, Liu Quan turned to look at Taohua, his eyes full of respect, and continued, "This Miss Taohua is extraordinary. She is not only the only daughter-in-law recognized by our master, but also the eldest daughter of Futiancun Xiuying.
Everyone must have heard of Xiuying; she's a renowned talent. "Miss Taohua and our young master are truly a match made in heaven." Liu Quan's words were meant to make everyone aware of Taohua's identity and the legitimacy of her marriage to the young master.
As Liu Quan finished speaking, the crowd, which was already watching the excitement of the dispute, instantly became more lively.
"Did you hear it just now? Did he say that the girl is from Futian Village?" a middle-aged woman in simple clothes asked in surprise.
"I remember! The sweet potato noodle shop that is doing a booming business here is opened in Futian Village, and the owner of that shop is called Xiuying." Another slightly thin woman nodded quickly.
"Yes, yes, I remember it too! Last time, someone falsely accused her sweet potatoes of being poisonous, and it caused a big uproar. In the end, she went to court with the person who falsely accused her and proved her innocence on the spot. She's really amazing!" A slightly fat uncle said excitedly.
"Oh, it's true that a tiger mother has no dog daughter! With such a capable mother, the daughter must be no worse than hers."
Everyone was talking at once, and their views on peach blossoms seemed to have changed greatly in this moment.
Liu Quan had arranged several women in the crowd in advance, and when they saw that the time was right, they walked out slowly.
One of the women, dressed in a blue cloth shirt, said, "Oh, we've all tried the sweet potato noodles from Futian Village. They're delicious! I figured the baba made from sweet potatoes would taste just as good. Girl, how much are these baba?"
Taohua responded, "Auntie, this is a sweet potato cake, only two cents each."
The woman's eyes widened slightly, her face filled with surprise. She pointed at the baba and said, "Wow, look at this baba! It's as big as my fist, and it only costs two cents?"
