Qiao er’s wife looked out and slapped her thigh. “Aiya, it really is that little hoof of Qiao Jinniang. Why did she come to this street? The man beside her is so good-looking. Why would she be willing to marry into the family?”
“Mother, let’s hurry back and discuss with father. We can’t let Qiao Jinniang really find a son-in-law. When that happens, we won’t have a share in the Hundred Savory Restaurant!”!
“Look at the shop that Lady Qiao Jin went into. It’s the only shop in Lin ‘an city that sells gold jewelry. If she really marries now, wouldn’t she be giving away all our money to someone else?”
At the moment, gold jewelry could only be worn by the relatives of noble families, the royal family, or the family members of third-rank officials.
However, since Huilin Emperor ascended to the throne, it was more open-minded. Therefore, the common people gradually began to wear gold jewelry.
However, gold jewelry was expensive. It was not something that an ordinary family could afford. Even in the rich Lin ‘an city, it was the only one.
When dog two heard her daughter’s words, it was also extremely anxious. It quickly went back to Qiao ergou to discuss the matter.
When Qiao Ergou heard this, he said, “That Qiao Yu is also a fool who thinks too highly of himself. Why did he give the old Qiao family’s things to his daughter and a son-in-law with a foreign surname? !”!
Wasn’t there no one in Lin ‘an city who was willing to be a son-in-law? Didn’t that matchmaker Qian say a few days ago that many people wanted to marry Qiao Jinniang? However, all of them wanted to marry her, and none of them were willing to marry into the Qiao family.
Those who were willing to marry into the Qiao family were either crippled or incapable of marrying into the Qiao family. There were also those who were poor and couldn’t find a wife in their ugly family. Why would a handsome Langjun suddenly be willing to marry into the Qiao Family? “There must be a problem!”
Dog two said, “I also feel that there must be something fishy going on. Go to the Hundred Savory restaurant and ask around.”
Qiao ergou went to the Hundred Savory restaurant the next day. All the employees in the restaurant did not like him.
Qiao Jinniang came to the Hundred Savory restaurant and saw Qiao ergou the moment she entered. She said grumpily, “What are you doing here?”
Dog Qiao pointed at Qiao Jinniang and said in a louder voice, “Is this your attitude when talking to the patriarch? I’m your elder!”
Qiao Jinniang sneered. What Elder? He was just a vicious dog in human skin. His parents had not even passed away yet, yet he had rushed over to plot against the property of the heiress. It was simply a dream!
Dog Qiao was immediately enraged when he saw Qiao Jinniang, “I heard that you are getting married? I heard from Matchmaker Qian that you told matchmaker Wang that you have a son-in-law? How come we relatives don’t know that you have a son-in-law?”
Qiao Jinniang said, “Why would I tell you if I have a son-in-law? They are just relatives. Hurry up and leave. Don’t Disturb Our Hundred Savory Restaurant’s business.”
“You!”Qiao Ergou was furious. Seeing that more and more people were coming to eat in the neighborhood, he had no choice but to leave first.
He went to the Qiao family’s small courtyard and saw Lu Chen coming out the moment he reached the courtyard’s entrance.
Lu Chen was already able to get out of bed. Although the doctor had told him to rest in bed, he still wanted to come out and take a walk. Perhaps, he felt that coming out and taking a walk would remind him of some past events.
The past events were as blank as a piece of paper. The feeling of not being in control of it made him dislike it.
When Qiao Ergou saw Lu Chen’s appearance, he immediately knew that he was the handsome son-in-law of the Qiao family that his wife had mentioned. He looked like a pretty boy.
When Lu Chen saw Qiao ergou sizing him up, he frowned and said, “Who are you? Did you know me before?”
“You are Qiao Jinniang’s son-in-law? When did you become the son-in-law of the Qiao Family? What’s Your Name and where do you live?”?
“Let me tell you, the son of the County Master in Lin ‘an city wants Qiao Jinniang to be his concubine. If you dare to marry Qiao Jinniang, you will either be cuckolded by the son of the prefect, or you won’t have a good ending!”
Lu Chen frowned and looked at the shifty-eyed middle-aged man in front of him. “Who are you?”
“I’m Qiao Jinniang’s uncle. Her family has no conscience at all. They ignored the lives of their relatives and took over the Qiao family’s property,”said dog Qiao, “I advise you not to marry Qiao Jinniang. She has a bad temper. She often hits people with a broom and a rolling pin!”
Lu Chen was a little curious. “You are her uncle, but you don’t know that Qiao Jinniang has a son-in-law?”
Qiao ergou said, “That’s why it’s so strange. Where did you come from? You Don’t sound like a person from Lin ‘an?”
Although Qiao Yu and his wife had cooked for the hou men in Chang ‘an when they were young, they had never left Lin ‘an after returning to the city for so long. This son-in-law was not a person from Lin ‘an.
Lu Chen said, “After I fell into the water, I woke up and forgot about what happened earlier.”
Qiao ergou slapped his leg and said, “Ah, you forgot about what happened in the past. That son-in-law must have been lied to by Qiao Yu and Qiao Jinniang, that Little B * TCH. Let me tell you, that Qiao Jinniang is very shrewd!
“I haven’t heard her mention the son-in-law for so many years. Previously, she was still worried about finding a son-in-law!”
Qiao Jinniang returned to the small courtyard from the Hundred Savory restaurant with the account book. When she saw Qiao ergou talking to Lu Chen at the door, she pulled Lu Chen’s sleeve and walked in, instructing Butler Zhong to close the door.
Qiao Jinniang said to Lu Chen, “Don’t pay attention to Qiao Ergou in the future. What did he say to you just now?”
Lu Chen said, “He said that the young master of the Lin ‘an prefect wants to take you as a concubine?”
Qiao Jinniang snorted. “He’s talking nonsense. I, Qiao Jinniang, will never be a concubine even if I die.”
Lu Chen followed Qiao Jinniang to the side of the river in the small courtyard. At this time, the lotus flowers were blooming beautifully. Qiao Jinniang picked two flowers from the shore and planned to put them in a porcelain bottle in the room.
Lu Chen said slowly, “Just now, that person said that you and your father lied to me. I’m not your son-in-law at all.”
Lady Qiao’s hand that was picking the lotus flowers paused. “I told you not to listen to his nonsense.”
Lu Chen stared at Lady Qiao and said, “If you say that I’m your son-in-law, then what do you say my name is? When is my birth date? How Old Am I this year? Where do I Live?”
Lady Qiao was stunned by the question. “I…”
Lu Chen said two words fiercely, “Liar!”
After saying that, Lu Chen turned around and was about to leave the small courtyard. Qiao Jinniang hurriedly pulled Lu Chen’s sleeve and said, “Wait a minute, father and I didn’t mean to deceive you. You haven’t recovered from your illness yet, and you don’t remember what happened before.”.
“Now that the flood in Huizhou is serious and there are refugees everywhere in Jiangnan, and you don’t have any silver on you, where are you going by yourself?”
Lu Chen said, “It’s none of your business, You Little Liar!”
Qiao Jinniang held tightly onto Lu Chen’s sleeve and refused to let go, she said, “Your Life was saved by me and father, so why can’t we take care of you? “If it weren’t for us saving you, you would have died a long time ago. I spent a total of fifty taels of silver treating your illness. If you want to leave, you have to return the fifty taels of Silver First!”
In Lu Chen’s subconscious mind, fifty taels of silver was really not much, so he said, “I’ll return it.”
Qiao jinniang said, “The salary of our staff in Hundred Savory Restaurant for a month is one tael of silver for food and lodging. You have to work in the restaurant for three years for this fifty taels of silver.”
