Chapter 587 - 587 Madam tu, would you be happy?
587 Madam tu, would you be happy?
The young man’s face turned ugly after being repeatedly scolded by Xiao Hanzheng and his wife.
His family was ranked in the middle among the aristocratic families in Northern City, and they had long been relying on the Tu family.
He was not afraid of a magistrate, Xiao Hanzheng, so Master Tu arranged for him to pick a fight with Shi Qingluo.
Who would have thought that the two of them would be so impolite?
He felt a little embarrassed when he felt the gazes from all around him.
He smiled awkwardly and said, “It might be because I’m far from it and might have seen it wrongly.”
But he didn’t give up, “The princess said that these wine jars were brought from the capital and Heyang County. Does that mean that you have brewed the wine?”
As long as Shi Qingluo admitted it, she would be slapping herself in the face if she used the Fang family’s wine to brush everyone off.
“Of course I brewed it,” Shi Qingluo replied with a smile.
“Everyone here should have heard that I’ve also bought the Fang family’s distilleries and wine shops.
“I’ll use this opportunity to announce that the Fang family’s winery will be changed to Nanxi Winery in the future. It will specialize in selling wines that I personally brew or those that are made from my recipes.
“Today, I’ll introduce all of you to the wine that Nanxi Winery will be selling.”
She beckoned to a maidservant, and she walked over with a tray.
Then, the servant girl behind her also walked over with a wine jar.
Shi Qingluo held the wine jar. “I’ve tasted the apricot wine brewed by Madam Tu at the Tu family’s residence.
“When I took a sip, I felt that it was bad, but I didn’t say it out loud.
“It’s just that Madam Tu kept staring at me and ask me about it, so I said the truth.
“But it’s obvious that Madam Tu isn’t happy. That’s why she said she wanted to have a taste of the flower wine I brewed.
“In order not to disappoint Madam Tu and that young master who is siding with the Tu family, I’ll open a jar of peach wine for everyone to try first.”
Shi Qingluo said this on purpose.
Didn’t these people always say that she was a village woman?
She would then establish herself as one who was honest and upright in the northern border.
She had purposefully pointed out that the young master who had been looking for trouble was associated with the Tu family, implying that it was the Tu family’s orders.
She was so straightforward and didn’t play her cards like how one would expect her to.
This caused Madam Tu and the Tu family to be furious.
As expected, Madam Tu and the Tu family’s people’s faces turned ugly.
Madam Tu’s face darkened.
Shi Qingluo was really too much.
Not only did she publicly belittle the quality of the flower wine she brewed, but she also almost said that the man who was looking for trouble just now was arranged by them.
She didn’t play her cards like what they had expected, how could she do this?
The people present had not expected Shi Qingluo to be so arrogant and unbridled.
She was clearly going against the Tu family and Madam Tu.
How did Madam Tu offend her at the banquet?
Or did the Tu family offend Shi Qingluo, this princess behind her back?
At the same time, they also had a similar thought in their hearts.
Princess Fubao was one who they should not trifle with.
Not only was she arrogant, but she also embarrassed others without any limits.
Madam Tu was also unlucky to have offended her.
Madam Tu felt everyone’s gaze on her and was furious.
“Princess, since you’re so confident in yourself, I’d really like to try your flower wine,” she said with a cold face.
Shi Qingluo had humiliated her in front of everyone, so she would naturally not be nice to her.
Shi Qingluo gave a meaningful smile. “Then, please watch carefully.”
She opened the jar of wine she was holding.
A light and pleasant peach fragrance filled the air, and the people sitting in front could smell it.
At this point, everyone on the first floor had gone up to the second floor and was standing in corners or open spaces to watch.
Those who were close also smelled the fragrance.
Those who had tasted the Tu family’s peach wine thought it was more flavorful than the Tu family’s wine simply by smell.
Then, Shi Qingluo held the wine jar and poured the wine into the glass that the maid was holding.
Soon, more than 20 glass cups were filled.
Everyone looked over and saw a transparent glass filled with pink liquid.
Everyone’s faces showed a surprised expression because, although the wine in the glass had a pink color, it was transparent without any impurities.
“Please have a taste of this peach wine!”
After she finished speaking, the maidservant walked towards Prince Jin and Prince Yi’s table with the tray.
The two of them had the highest status, so they were naturally allowed to taste it first.
Shi Qingluo then had the other maidservant continue to pour more wine from several other jars.
She only stopped when everyone had a cup of peach wine in their hands.
After tasting the peach wine, everyone present again revealed a surprised look.
The peach wine had a faint floral fragrance when it entered one’s mouth.
It had a light taste and a sweet aftertaste.
Not many men like this kind of wine much, but they couldn’t deny that it was good.
After the madams and young ladies finished drinking, almost all of them revealed a pleasantly surprised expression.
It was obvious that they liked the taste.
They especially liked the pink and clear wine in the glass.
After Shi Qingluo introduced the benefits of the peach wine, the eyes of the madams and young ladies lit up.
Madam Tu’s face turned red after she finished the peach wine.
It wasn’t because she was drunk, but because she was embarrassed.
When Shi Qingluo poured the wine into the glass, she knew that she had already lost just by the color of the wine.
She could only hope that it didn’t taste good.
However, she was an expert at brewing wine.
After taking a sip, she knew that she had lost in terms of taste.
Shi Qingluo didn’t let her go at the critical moment.
“Madam Tu, what do you think of the flower wine I brewed compared to yours?”
Today, she was going to publicly declare that she was going to fight the Tu family.
In the past few days, there have been a handful of beautiful women who have used all sorts of methods to get close to her young hubby.
After investigating, she found out that it was Madam Tu and her son’s doing.
Shi Qingluo wanted to shed all pretenses of cordiality with the Tu family in public today so that everyone would know what would happen if they go against them in the future.
Madam Tu was particularly embarrassed at this time. She couldn’t even get angry in front of so many people.
“The princess’s peach wine is indeed better,” she could only say with a sullen expression.
Shi Qingluo chuckled. “It seems that you are quite self-aware.”
She said this to embarrass her further.
Madam Tu felt that Shi Qingluo had embarrassed her totally and stepped on her face in front of everyone.
As a result, she couldn’t help but turn to Shi Qingluo and ask, “Princess, I’m not sure when I offended you for you to target me like this.”
She had said this to ease her embarrassment and let everyone know that Shi Qingluo was arrogant and deliberately targeting her.
“Recently, you and your son have been sending all sorts of beauties to my husband’s side.” Shi Qingluo replied with a playful smile.
“I dare not accept such intentions.
“Madam Tu, would you be happy if I kept sending beauties with ulterior motives to Master Tu?”
Since she wanted to fall out with her, she had to be reasonable.
She wanted to set up her image as one who was honest and upright, not one who was arrogant and unbridled.
After all, her little husband still had to stay in Northern City, and it was important for her, as his wife, to socialize with others.
In this way, everyone would think that it was no wonder Princess Fubao would target Madam Tu.
It turned out that Madam Tu had ill intentions behind the scenes!
She deserved to be punished.
Shi Qingluo did this not only to remove all pretenses of cordiality with the Tu family, but also to convey a message to everyone present.
Whoever provoked her, she would fight back without giving any leeway.
These words made Madam Tu and Tu Lihuan’s expressions change.
How did Shi Qingluo know?
Madam Tu calmed her emotions and showed a surprised and inexplicable expression, refusing to admit it.
“I don’t know what the princess is talking about.
“You said that we sent beauties to Mr Xiao, do you have any evidence?
“If you don’t have evidence, don’t talk nonsense.”
Shi Qingluo chuckled.
“Of course I have evidence. I’ve never falsely accused a good person. So, Madam Tu, you don’t have to pretend to be innocent.”
She then looked at Prince Yi.
“Your Highness, I previously requested your help to investigate the background of those beautiful women who suddenly came to my husband. Do you still have the evidence?”
