Parents are busy farming

So, at the banquet, the ladies deliberately chatted with the general's mother and asked her some questions about the countryside.

Zhang Wangshi didn't know that this was a trap. The girl next to her had been sent by Ye Zifen to play in the garden, and no one reminded her.

She began to talk incessantly about her life in the country.

She told the ladies how she farmed, how she raised chickens, etc., which made the ladies listen with great interest.

However, just as the general's mother was speaking enthusiastically, a noble lady suddenly asked, "I heard that women in the countryside are very hardworking. I wonder if you are the same?"

The general's mother was very proud when she heard this. She replied, "Of course. When I was in the countryside, I had to get up early and go to bed late every day, and do a lot of work."

Those who knew the truth couldn't help but curl their lips. They were not fools. Who wouldn't investigate the background of a great general?

After hearing the old woman say that she was hardworking, those who knew the truth couldn't help but mock her in their hearts.

In fact, they had long known that the mother of this so-called general did not work at all in the countryside. Instead, she was idle every day, lazy and did nothing, and was not kind to the general.

Her reputation was so notorious in their village that everyone knew her.

But now, she is here bragging about how hard-working she is, which is really ridiculous.

Everyone present looked at her with contempt, thinking that she was an old woman with a face as thick as a city wall.

Exchange glances.

When Mrs. Hong heard the news, she was very surprised and moved.

She recalled the situation in Lujia Village back then. The general's life was not going well at that time. He even needed his eldest sister's help to mend his clothes when they were torn.

In sharp contrast, the children from the old lady's ex-husband's family received careful care from the old lady. Not only did they successfully marry and have children, but the children also grew up healthily and now have several children.

Mrs. Hong thought about it and said it out loud.

Zhang Wangshi originally came from the countryside and had no idea that the Hong family had served as county magistrates for many years, let alone knowing Old Madam Hong.

Facing Mrs. Hong's questioning, she was a little nervous and at a loss, and could only answer haltingly: "At that time, everyone's life was very difficult, and there were many children in the family, so it was inevitable that there would be times when they were not well taken care of."

Madam Hong nodded to show her understanding, but she couldn't help but ask curiously, "No wonder the general respects his uncle and aunt so much. I heard that he almost grew up in the Ma family?"

This made Zhang Wangshi's face even more embarrassed. She forced a smile and said, "We are all relatives. His family is well-off, so naturally they won't care about these things."

Mrs. Hong couldn't help but sigh after hearing this: "The Ma family is so generous. I heard that the Ma family is your husband's original wife's family. They are willing to take in a child who is not related by blood. It is really admirable."

Her words were full of praise, but also made Zhang Wang feel even more ashamed.

Finally, Zhang Wang couldn't stand it anymore. She stood up suddenly and questioned Ye Zifen loudly, "What does my family's affairs have to do with you? He is now a general, so what? Doesn't he still be my son? He can come here because she invited us. I came here reluctantly. In fact, I didn't want to come at all! Don't think that I will agree to let my son marry you. Let me tell you, you are not worthy of my son at all."

At this moment, Zhang Wang's index finger pointed directly at Ye Zifen, venting all her inner dissatisfaction and anger on Ye Zifen.

However, Ye Zifen just sat there quietly, staring at Zhang Wangshi with cold eyes, without saying a word, as if she wanted to see if this lady dared to continue saying more unpleasant words.

As expected, Zhang Wangshi began to speak out without restraint. She said to the noble ladies around her, "Do you know? This girl is so old, but she has not married yet. Doesn't she just want to cling to my son? Humph! My son is now a great general, how could he marry an old girl? Moreover, she has been unpopular at home since she was a child. Even her family members don't like her."

Old Madam Hong was really angry this time. Her face was as gloomy as water and she said in a cold voice: "Our Zifen has been loved by her grandmother and me since she was a child, otherwise she would not be so close to me. Zifen has not married yet because she has to observe mourning for her mother, which has delayed a good time. Don't take advantage of the fact that you are the mother of the general and make trouble here and talk nonsense. Everyone knows that you did not raise the general back then. You have not fulfilled your responsibilities as a mother, so how can you have the face to speak nonsense here now?" Old Madam Hong simply stopped beating around the bush and told the truth directly.

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Wang's face instantly turned as pale as paper.

She could never have imagined that Mrs. Hong would be so shameless as to make her scandal public, putting her in an extremely embarrassing situation on the spot.

She was filled with anger and wanted to refute immediately, but she didn't know where to start.

At this time, Ye Zifen, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke slowly: "Madam, the threshold of your family is indeed too high. I am ashamed of myself and it is difficult for me to marry up! As for your selection of a daughter-in-law, it has nothing to do with me. However, I hope you don't have any ideas about me. After all, I am the princess of Daxia. If I want to find a prince consort, how can you, a person of no rank, be the one to interfere? Since you are not here for the banquet with sincerity, please leave as soon as possible!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Zifen shouted loudly outside the door: "Come here, please ask the old lady from the general's mansion to leave the princess's mansion, and send back the gifts and people she brought. Our princess's mansion is too small to accommodate this big Buddha!"

At this moment, Princess Fuxia showed her unparalleled tsundere temperament, which made people fall in love with her.

At this time, Mrs. Hong had already found out almost everything about what happened to Zhang Wang-shi after she came to the capital from the young girl.

It turned out that this young girl was the daughter of a minor official. She had been vain since childhood and had always dreamed of marrying into a wealthy family.

Later, he finally got his wish and got close to the general's mother.

She also knew the situation in the general's family.

Mrs. Hong laughed inwardly. She herself came from a prominent family, and she was very disdainful of the behavior of a girl from a minor official's family wanting to rise to the top and become a phoenix.

However, she did not show it, but just smiled and listened to the young girl's story.
