Chapter 447: Chapter 447 – I will avenge your mother!

The girl who stays beside the retired Emperor is beautiful and so naturally, many people were curious about her.

So, information about Qiao Xiaomai was sought.

Before this, she, along with Bai Zhi, and Chef Niu, had two culinary competitions at Bailu Academy, and everyone at the Academy knew her.

The students from Bailu Academy went back home and were talking to the old servants about her, leading Qiao Xiaomai’s name to spread even further.

Now she has appeared besides the retired Emperor and became his Royal Chef, which has made her even more famous.

When the word about Qiao Xiaomai got around, it ultimately reached the ears of Hua Xiaofeng and Zhuang Jia, who hurriedly borrowed a donkey cart to come over.

“I was wondering why you didn’t come on Tomb-Sweeping Festival, and thought something had happened. But your aunt was about to give birth and everyone at home was busy, so we didn’t come”, Hua Xiaofeng took a sip of the sour plum soup and her eyes lit up.

“Your culinary skills are much better than your mother’s, no wonder you can cook for the retired Emperor!”

” What happened to your mother?” asked Zhuang Jia, picking up his bowl, and his face became serious.

Although Zhuang Liihe is ten years older than him and was not born of the same mother, Hua Xiaofeng didn’t treat Zhuang Liihe well. However, Zhuang Liihe has always been very caring towards her younger brother.

Zhuang Liihe was good at cooking, even when the family was poor, she always tried hard to cook delicious meals for him.

Ah, and he became a food lover because of her.

With a sigh, he thought about the rumors and asked, “Xiaomai, is it true that your mother ran off with that guy?”

Hearing this, Hua Xiaofeng put down her bowl and sneered, “Wasn’t she forced by that old witch, Madam Sun?”

Qiao Xiaomai nodded, “Yes, my mother didn’t want to marry me off to the dim-witted son of the Jiang Family, nor did she want Madam Sun to sell me to a brothel. She had no other choice but to leave.”

“Coward!” Hua Xiaofeng slammed the table in rage, “How could she allow herself to be bullied by that old hag! Let’s go, let’s find her!”

As she said this, she suddenly stood up, rolled up her sleeves, looking as if she can’t wait to strangle Madam Sun.

Seeing this, Qiao Xiaomai was surprised.

Apart from a big fight that happened many years ago, before she was born, she has no memory of anything else.

In the little memory she has, Hua Xiaofeng only visited a few times and every time she came, she was always picking on things.

When they visited Zhuang Family’s village, she was always unsatisfied with Xiaomai’s family.

But whether it was righteousness or dissatisfaction, Hua Xiaofeng was always verbal but never resort to violence.

So, Xiaomai was surprised this time.

When she finally came back to her senses, she hurriedly said, “Grandma, sit down. I’ve cut ties with Madam Sun, and also, the Village Chief has driven her out of the village. She’s living far away on her field, let’s not go there.”

” What of cutting ties? What of being driven out? She drove your mother away, should we let this go? She is your mother, your biological mother!” Hua Xiaofeng put her hands on her waist and shouted.

Zhuang Jia nodded in agreement, “That’s correct, Xiaomai, tell your grandmother how Madam Sun treated your mother. When we heard your mother had left, your grandmother and I already knew it must have been Madam Sun causing trouble.”

“We came here today, one to check on your family and second to take revenge for your mother.”

“Don’t be scared, your grandmother can beat that stubborn old woman, Madam Sun!”

Hua Xiaofeng lost her husband when she was young. As a widow taking care of two children, she would have been bullied to death long ago had she not been tough.

Her toughness and fierceness were not superficial like Madam Sun’s, whether it was fighting or arguing, she always put everything at stake.

With this kind of attitude, she never lost a fight.
