Chapter 31 Twenty Slaps

"Grandma." Xiao Jiuyue could sense Madam Xiao's deep love and care. She smiled and said, "If a clown like Madam Gan hurts you, your granddaughter will be heartbroken."

Madam Xiao had gradually calmed down by now. Seeing Xiao Jiuyue's calm demeanor, she felt even more distressed for her and said, "Yuer, don't say she's not a member of the Xiao family. Even if she was a branch of the Xiao family, she can't treat you like this!"

When Mrs. Gan said that, Mrs. Xiao felt very upset!

Something happened to the Xiao family, but they would never humiliate their own girls!

Even if the person Xiao Jiuyue marries in the future is not from a wealthy family, he will definitely be someone she loves, someone the Xiao family can trust, and definitely not someone as calculating as the Gan family!

"Grandma, calm down." Xiao Jiuyue patted Old Madam Xiao on the back and said, "Being angry is like punishing yourself for the mistakes of others."

Madam Xiao listened to this, thought about it carefully, and said, "Yuer is right."

"Grandmother's health is a thousand times, ten thousand times more important than Madam Gan's. If your words are unpleasant, why not punish her severely?" Xiao Jiuyue smiled and changed the subject. She took out the contract she had signed with Fengchun Restaurant and said, "Grandmother, look, my granddaughter has earned a thousand taels of silver!"

"One thousand taels?" Old Madam Xiao's attention was diverted in an instant. She looked at Xiao Jiuyue in disbelief. He earned one thousand taels of silver just by going out?

This, looking at the entire Shengjing, or even the Nanyue Kingdom, there are only a handful of people who can do this, right?

"Yes." Xiao Jiuyue nodded affirmatively and said, "Grandma, you will know after reading the contract."

Old Madam Xiao lowered her head and read it carefully, reading every word carefully. It was clearly written that as long as Xiao Jiuyue provided ten dishes, Fengchun Restaurant would pay one thousand taels of silver. Now it was four dishes, and the advance payment was four hundred taels of silver!

"I didn't expect that Yue'er used to like tinkering in the kitchen, and now she can make money with this skill." Old Madam Xiao didn't doubt it. Xiao Jiuyue used to be an extremely picky person when it came to food.

"It's always good to have many skills." Xiao Jiuyue took out the small-leaf red sandalwood Buddhist beads she had bought and said, "Grandma, although the small-leaf red sandalwood is not as good as you used to have, it is still a token of my granddaughter's love."

"Okay, okay." Old Madam Xiao looked at the carefully selected small-leaf red sandalwood. She saw that the price was not cheap and the color and quality were excellent. She replaced the previous Buddhist beads with the small-leaf red sandalwood bought by Xiao Jiuyue.

"It's the right size, grandma likes it very much." Old Madam Xiao twisted it in her hand for a while. The color, feel and size were not much different from the ones she used before.

"Grandma, try the boiled cabbage I made tonight." Xiao Jiuyue did not mention the other dishes, mainly because Old Madam Xiao vomited blood again today and her health was not very good. Other dishes such as pig's trotters, pig ears and drunkard's peanuts were not suitable for Old Madam Xiao to eat.

"Okay, then I can enjoy the blessing of having a granddaughter." Old Madam Xiao said with a smile, and both the grandmother and the old lady forgot about Gan Li who was clamoring outside.

After dinner, Xiao Jiuyue accompanied Old Madam Xiao to finish her meal before saying, "Grandma, go to bed early."

"Okay." Old Madam Xiao was not in a good mood and went to bed early.

"Mother, go back and see Jiayuan first. I want to talk to Mother Jiang." Xiao Jiuyue sent Meiren Niang away and led Mother Jiang to the courtyard. She asked, "Mother Jiang, tell me exactly what Gan Li said today."

Xiao Jiuyue no longer had the cheerful and talkative look she had just had in the room. Her face was cold and her eyes were filled with chill.

"Miss, the old lady loves you the most. When she heard that Gan Li wanted you to marry her brother, she became angry instantly." Mother Jiang felt a chill sweeping over her.

"Mother Jiang, please just stay and take care of grandma. If grandma feels unwell in the slightest, send someone to report to me immediately." After Xiao Jiuyue finished speaking, he walked out.

Under the moonlight, the eldest lady was dressed in blue, her long hair rustled by the evening breeze, and she looked graceful. But in Mother Jiang's eyes, she looked very aggressive. She had a premonition in her heart, Madam Gan, it's all over!

"Let me go! How dare you put me under house arrest? I tell you, my son is the advisor of Hongdu Mansion. How dare you lock me up!"

"You blind bastard, let me go!"

Gan Li was furious and smashed everything that could be smashed in the house.

'Bang.'

Lian Xin pushed the door open angrily, and Xiao Jiuyue walked in slowly. A shadow fell on Xiao Jiuyue's face, from dark to light, and her cold eyes fell on Gan Li.

Gan Li swallowed back her curse words. She said, "Xiao Yue, as your cousin, I'm sincerely planning for you. Why did you lock me up here for no reason? I'm starving."

Gan Li, her kindness being taken for granted, said, "You and my youngest brother, Zong Yong, are truly a match made in heaven. When you marry into the Gan family, I'll be both your cousin and your eldest sister-in-law. How could I possibly treat you unfairly?"

"Marrying into the Gan family will mean you're in for a lifetime of luxury and prosperity!"

Gan Li said eloquently, "My little brother is a handsome man. Looking at the whole Lancang County, he is also a talented man. In order to express his gratitude to the Xiao family, my brother doesn't mind your father being confiscated and exiled!"

Gan Li's eyes flickered slightly, and she continued, "As long as you meet my brother once, you will definitely be satisfied with this marriage." A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Gan Li believed that if she married Xiao Jiuyue home, the dowry and the Xiao family would all belong to the Gan family!

Xiao Jiuyue's silence made Gan Li feel that this matter was indeed a possibility. She sighed and said regretfully, "It's a pity that you, an unmarried girl, have to run the household. You are in your prime years now. If you delay any longer, won't you become an old maid and be unable to get married?"

Gan Li was so excited that she didn't even take a breath. "It would be such a pity if we missed such a good marriage."

"You're disrespectful to Grandmother and her elders. You've made Grandmother so angry that she vomited blood. Twenty slaps on the face." Xiao Jiuyue's cold voice sounded, and she turned around and looked at Luo Kui.

When Luo Kui heard this, he immediately rushed forward, regardless of Gan Li's identity. He rushed forward and slapped Gan Li in the face.

The maidservant beside Gan Li wanted to step forward, but unfortunately, Jin Wen and Geng Po, who was specially brought by Xiao Jiuyue, directly pushed her to the ground.

"You dare." Gan Li was horrified to find that no one could help her, so she could only shout loudly. Unfortunately, Luo Kui acted quickly and efficiently, and the sound of slaps rang out continuously.

Luo Kui loved to eat and had a strong hand. After a dozen slaps, Gan Li's face was swollen. Luo Kui grinned and said, "Sorry, I forgot to count just now. Let's start again!"

Gan Li rolled her eyes and fainted.
