Bai Jing did not expect Fang Rao to have such a reaction.
In her opinion, even if Fang Rao did not lower her head, she would definitely be angered by her words.
Once a person was enraged, they would speak without thinking. She would seize the opportunity to grab hold of Fang Rao's weakness. Then, she would firmly trample Fang Rao under her feet and take everything from her.
Everything seemed to be within her calculations, and she would be the final victor.
She had used this kind of move countless times in the past few decades.
Because of this, she had obtained countless victories, and because of this, she had become more skilled and mature.
However, she did not know that the reason Fang Rao did not fall for her tricks was not because Fang Rao was more magnanimous than her, or because she was weak and kind. It was because from the beginning to the end, Fang Rao did not care about the things that she cared about.
A fish that lived in a quagmire would never understand the vastness of the sea.
It would also not understand that the gains and losses that she had calculated her entire life were just a bunch of chickens pecking at each other in front of a true expert.
It was clear that Fang Rao had greater ambitions and a greater vision.
Thus, Fang Rao felt that it was better to leave this chicken to Bai Jing.
Fang Rao poured another cup of wine and stood up elegantly. Her gaze swept over all the Zhao family members who had come to the Zhao manor for the New Year. She suddenly felt that she should say something, but in the end, she just said a blessing.
"Today is New Year's Eve. I wish everyone a safe and smooth new year. I won't say anything else, it's all in the wine. "
After saying this, she downed another cup.
The surrounding people were stunned.
In the past, although Fang Rao always had a cold expression, at least she would say some pretty words to buy people's hearts.
It's all in the wine …
Why did it sound so intimate?
Could it be that the Madam wanted to give up her previous persona?
Everyone looked at each other, and in the end, they all raised their cups in unison. "Cheers!"
For some reason, the New Year's Eve banquet suddenly seemed like a banquet scene in a mountain village.
That's … that's a little more humane.
Bai Jing's face was about to turn purple.
If she did not understand what the other party meant before, she finally understood now.
Fang Rao was humiliating her!
She had a dismissive attitude and made her lose face.
What right did she have to be so condescending?
Could it be that just because Zhao Yixuan doted on him, he could disregard him and the elders of the clan?
"Fang Rao, what do you mean by this?" Bai Jing put down the wine glass in her hand and questioned her coldly.
"Do you have any respect for me and the two old masters? Even if Zhao Yixuan was here, he wouldn't dare to do that. Aren't you afraid … "
"What should I be afraid of?"
Fang Rao calmly stood in her position.
An unaffected beauty didn't mean that she wouldn't grow old or that there wouldn't be any traces of aging at the corner of her eyes.
Instead, it was her strength of character and her pride that would never be completely abandoned along with the pain of life.
It was not a coincidence that Huo Shujiang fell in love with her. When Zhao Yixuan, who had lost his memory, fell in love with her again, it was enough to prove that she had never changed.
Therefore, Bai Jing was jealous.
Not only was he jealous that she could be favored by her husband, but he was also not jealous that she could easily obtain everything she wanted.
She was jealous of Fang Rao's graceful bearing, which hadn't changed in more than ten years.
Both of them had been crushed into the mud, so why was she still able to be herself?
"From the moment I stepped into the Zhao Family's house, I have nothing to fear."
Fang Rao's face darkened.
The cold and aloof young lady of the Fang Family still wouldn't bend her back for anyone or anything.
She had once compromised for the person she loved, but because of that, she was reborn. She had never given up on struggling against the shackles that reality had placed on her.
Bai Jing's jealous heart twisted to the extreme at this moment.
Why was she so arrogant? Why did she not care about the Zhao Family? Why could she be herself?
"It seems that you have never regarded yourself as the daughter-in-law of the Zhao Family! Hmph, very well, I will definitely report this matter to all the elders of the Zhao Family.
When that time comes, let's see how you can escape! Even Zhao Yixuan won't be able to protect you! This time, you're dead for sure. "
Fang Rao raised the corner of her lips.
If it was said that before, she still had some reluctance in her heart, then now, she could finally let go of the past and freely do what she wanted to do.
"Do as you please."
She said without the slightest care. On her still beautiful and moving face, there was no trace of haze.
"Previously, I told you that it's time to return the things that you took from me."
Bai Jing's heart trembled, and she hated her even more.
"What nonsense are you saying? All these years, you've been eating and drinking from the Zhao Family. Even your wealth and honor were given to you by the Zhao Family. How can you still have the nerve to ask for those things of yours! "
"Is that so?" Fang Rao asked with a smile, but her words mercilessly exposed their past.
"Before I married into the family, the Zhao Family was already insolvent. In just half a year, not only did it rise from the dead, it even allowed you to rise to a new level.
But there is one thing that I still don't understand. Why did the land and shops that I took over suddenly change owners? So much so that today, eighty to ninety percent of the Zhao Family's ancestral property was actually my dowry. "
Her smile grew deeper, but her eyes grew colder.
"Second Sister-in-law, what do you think?"
For a moment, Bai Jing panicked.
But when she came to herself, Fang Rao had calmly left with her people.
Only she knew how embarrassed she was by Fang Rao's questioning just now.
Fang Rao's dowry, no! Since she had married into the Zhao Family, it belonged to the south courtyard! It belonged to her son!
"You forced me to do this!"
Looking at Fang Rao's back, Bai Jing's eyes were as vicious as a snake's.
What happened in the front yard did not affect Lin Ya and the others' New Year's Eve dinner.
Because everyone came from different places, their customs were somewhat different.
For example, Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao preferred to eat dumplings, Baisu wanted to eat glutinous rice balls, and Cai Ru, Qian Jinzi, and Zheng Yuan had similar customs. They wanted to eat some steamed fruits on New Year's Eve.
It looked a bit like the modern Shanxi flower bread, but the shape was simpler and more rustic. But Lin Mengya guessed that it was mainly because the three of them were not skilled enough to make such exquisite flower bread.
It was a very happy and very different experience for everyone to celebrate the New Year together.
Lin Mengya's hands were very dexterous. Not only could she pick up the scalpel to save people, but she could also go into the kitchen to make dumplings, glutinous rice balls, and steamed fruits with them.
In addition, when she was at home, she also had the foundation to make complementary food for the children.
As her fingers moved up and down, a charmingly naive Winnie the Pooh appeared in front of everyone.
"Wow!"
Moyan Baby gave a loud cry, and his round eyes were full of joy.
This was a Winnie the Pooh full of pumpkin flavor.
Moyan Baby carefully picked it up from the table, and his chubby little face was already full of smiles.
"Mom! This is for me! "He asked knowingly, but in fact, there was a hidden intention to show off in his heart.
Lin Mengya picked up another piece of noodles and nodded with a smile.
"Yes, I will make another one for you later."
"Okay! I like everything you make! Oh, Mother, can this be preserved a little longer? "
Lin Mengya shook her head subconsciously and said, "It is made of noodles. If it is kept for too long, it may go moldy and go bad, and then it can't be eaten."
"I see …"
Moyan Baby was depressed for a while.
In fact, he and his brother both had a secret base to keep the things his mother gave them.
This one … He looked at it and remembered that his mother seemed to have made something similar for them before, but it was a seaweed rice ball. It seemed to be called Winnie the Pooh.
This Winnie the Pooh was beautiful and cute, but most importantly, it was his mother! Personally! It was made for him!
No one else had it!
This must be a representation of his mother's love for him! The unique kind!
But if it couldn't be kept forever, he still felt that it was too much of a pity.
At least next time if he lost to his father, he could take it out to show off.
Anyway, his father didn't have it!
Long Tianhao put down the half-kneaded dough and looked down. He knew what his little boy was thinking.
Ha! Childish!
He didn't want it! It was not that Madam didn't think of making it for him!
Besides, a steamed fruit was nothing.
Madam's whole body belonged to him!
When the little boys grew up, they would get out of the house one by one and never come back!
As for this yellow dog.
Anyway, it was the same staple food. It didn't matter now. It belonged to the one who ate it, didn't it?
Unfortunately, Moyan was feeling melancholy. As soon as he looked up, he saw the calculating light in his father's eyes.
Suddenly, Moyan's heart was alarmed.
"I warn you, this is the Winnie the Pooh that my mother 'specially' made for 'me'! You are not robbing it! "
He emphasized the point, but it was still ignored by Long Tianhao.
"Robbing? This is just an excuse that you are not as good as others. If you are strong enough, no one can rob you. "
In fact, he was still going to rob it!
What kind of father and filial son? Today, he didn't even want to be a man, how could he be a father?
Moyan felt that his father was a little shameless today.
And he was the kind of unreasonable shamelessness that bullied children!
His little hands tightly opened and protected the Winnie the Pooh behind him.
"No! My mother said that adults can't rob children's things! What you're doing is bullying the weak and the young. If my mother finds out about this, she'll like you a little less! "
Long Tianhao raised his eyebrows.
He also learned to negotiate and grasped his "weakness".
How could his wife like him less? How could she like him less? Absolutely not!
Moyan had been observing the "enemy's situation". Seeing that his expression was a little relaxed, he continued to work hard.
"If you behave well, I will say a few good words to you in front of my mother. How about it? Deal?"
