Becoming The Real Rich Daughter After Divorce

Xie Yun took out the portrait of Qiao Jinniang that she had drawn when she was young. At that time, Qiao Jinniang was just a young little sister.

Now, it was time for her to get married.

Xie Yun could not tell what she felt in her heart. She only felt that a piece of her heart was missing. Not to mention that Qiao Jinniang was not suitable for the struggle for power in the aristocratic families, the Xie family was like a den of wolves and tigers for Qiao Jinniang.

..

In the Qiao family’s small courtyard, Qiao Jinniang had written quite a number of invitations. The neighbors had all agreed to it, but her classmates who had been with her for ten years had all accepted the invitations and had not replied to them.

Qiao Jinniang was rather depressed. They had not seen each other for more than half a year, so why was she not willing to come on the day of her wedding?

Sticky Rice was grinding for Qiao Jinniang at the side, “Master, you’ve invited so many people. Aren’t you going to invite Miss Xie Yun?”

Qiao Jinniang Thought for a moment and said, “Yes, I’ve actually forgotten about her. It’s the beginning of the New Year Tomorrow. I’ll send her some pastries and personally hand her the wedding invitation.”

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly.

Qiao Jinniang entered the Xie residence and saw a beauty enjoying the shade under a tree. She held a bamboo scroll in her hand, looking as otherworldly as in an ancient painting. In front of such a peerless beauty, Qiao Jinniang could only feel ashamed of her inferiority.

“Miss Xie, this is a pastry for you. In two days, it will be my wedding day. The Hundred Savory restaurant will be closed for five days to hold the wedding. From the third to the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, they will hold a flowing water banquet in the Hundred Savory Restaurant. I hope Miss Xie will spare some time to attend the banquet.”

Xie Yun looked at the pastry that Qiao Jinniang brought over. The pastry in the Hundred Savory restaurant was one of the best in Jiangnan. He slowly asked, “Where did your son-in-law come from?”

Qiao jinniang said honestly, “He was rescued on the way. He should be a flood victim from Huizhou who was washed down by the flood.”

Xie Yun frowned slightly and said, “So it’s a man of unknown origin. You actually want a man of unknown origin to marry into your family? Aren’t you afraid that his character is not good?”

Qiao Jinniang smiled faintly and said, “He is very good-looking. I have never seen such a handsome man. More importantly, I have no other choice.”

Qiao Jinniang had loved reading books since she was twelve years old. The stories of scholars and beauties falling in love in the books were very moving. She had heard Liang Zhu’s story countless times since she was young and could not get tired of hearing it.

She also yearned for a man who shared the same mind and loved each other. However, for the sake of the Hundred Savory restaurant, she could not wait any longer.

After Qiao Jinniang left, Xie Yun ordered her subordinates to investigate Lu Chen’s background. She found out that Lu Chen’s background was really unknown. There was a vast sea of people, and his sudden appearance in Jiangnan really could not find anything.

Lan Xin advised Xie Yun, “Master, you like the little shopkeeper of the Hundred Savory restaurant so much. Are you really going to watch her marry a man who has nothing? That man doesn’t even remember the past!”

Xie Yun slowly said, “Now the second and third uncle are eyeing my big house covetously.”

Lan Xin said, “Then you can also secretly raise the little shopkeeper of the Qiao family outside. When the time comes, you can marry her. With the Xie family protecting her, she will definitely be able to protect the hundred savory restaurant. You Don’t have to be in a hurry to marry a man of unknown origin!”

Xie Yun frowned and said, “You’re talking too much.”

Lan Xin sighed helplessly. “Little shopkeeper Qiao is really pitiful!”

Xie Yun closed the book impatiently. He could not marry Qiao Jinniang. Why not let Qiao Jinniang find a husband for her to marry into!

At that time, he could also help Qiao Jinniang’s husband and protect Qiao Jinniang for the rest of her life.

..

With the wedding imminent, Bai Wei building was extremely busy.

The day before the wedding, a good neighbor sister came to help Qiao Jinniang with her makeup.

Qiao Jinniang heard the gossip from tofu elder Zhang’s daughter in the room. It turned out that a son-in-law in Lin ‘an city had abandoned his wife after he had gained the family business power. He had taken in concubines and killed his first wife, then, he made a fool out of his first wife’s son.

When Qiao Jinniang heard this, she was so scared that her face turned pale. ƒ𝑟𝐞𝗲𝘄𝙚𝚋𝑛ｏ𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝘰𝓂

Miss Zhang said in a low voice, “When you get married tomorrow, you have to suppress that man. Otherwise, when he sees that you and your family are not helping you, and your parents are seriously ill, how can he bully you and humiliate you?”

“It can’t be. It’s said that looks are born from the heart. Lu Chen is so good-looking.”

Miss Zhang nodded Qiao Jinniang’s head. “You’ve always liked good-looking things since you were young. It’s important to know that one can not tell the heart from the face. It’s difficult to paint the bone and paint the skin.

This Hundred Savory restaurant can earn a thousand taels of silver a year. Which one wouldn’t think of greed? You’ve only known this man for how long? How do you know he’s not this kind of person?”

Qiao Jinniang felt that Miss Zhang’s words made sense. She hurriedly held onto Zhang Jinniang’s sister’s hand and said, “Then what should we do? I don’t want to be killed by that time. My Son, who is implicated, will also be made stupid.”

Zhang’s sister said, “When you get married tomorrow, give that son-in-law a hard blow. Force him to make the bridal sedan chair and diamond skirt. Hang the skirt on the door and let him walk under your skirt. At night, when you get married, let him wash your feet.

“On the first day of marriage, you were so tough. If you suppress him, he will listen to you in the future.”

Qiao jinniang said slightly, “Isn’t that not good?”

“What’s not good? If he can’t marry you, he won’t even have a place to go. You are the little shopkeeper of the Hundred Savory restaurant, but you have to marry him to inherit the family business. If you don’t suppress him, he will definitely climb up to you in the future.”

After Qiao Jinniang heard Zhang Jijie’s words, she didn’t want to be suppressed by Lu Chen in the future, so she began to plan for tomorrow’s matter.

On the night before the wedding, mother Qiao came over with a pale face and talked to Qiao Jinniang about how to get along with husband and wife. She even gave Qiao Jinniang a fire-proof diagram,

“Jinniang, mother really doesn’t want you to have a child so early, but I hope you can have a child soon. This way, when your father and I aren’t around, you’ll still have a blood-related relationship.”

Qiao jinniang bowed and replied, “Yes, mother.”

Mother Qiao hugged Qiao Jinniang reluctantly and said, “Unknowingly, My Jinniang is going to have a family and set up a business.”

Qiao Jinniang also hugged mother Qiao and snuggled into mother Qiao’s arms, unwilling to leave for a long time.

The next morning, before dawn, Lu Chen was called out by a matchmaker in the small courtyard of the Hundred Savory restaurant. By the time the sun rose, he had already changed into Yun Jin’s clothes.

Yun Jin was warm in the winter and cool in the summer. When it was worn by Lu Chen, it looked even more elegant.

Matchmaker Wang stared at the handsome young man in such a way. She wished that she was ten years younger than him and would snatch this husband away from Qiao Jin today.

Lu Chen said to the matchmaker, “Isn’t the wedding ceremony at dusk?”

Matchmaker Wang said, “The young master of the Hundred Savory restaurant in Lin ‘an is very happy, so he naturally has to go around the city. The bridal sedan has already been prepared for you. Please get on the bridal sedan!”

When Lu Chen heard this, he asked in confusion, “Shouldn’t it be Lady Qiao Jin who gets on the bridal sedan? How did it become me who gets on the bridal sedan?”

Matchmaker Wang waved the handkerchief with a smile and said, “This bride-to-be is naturally a woman sitting in the bridal sedan. As a son-in-law, of course it’s a man sitting in the bridal sedan!”
