Becoming The Real Rich Daughter After Divorce

Hearing this, Qin Miaomiao said: "I heard Tong Yingying say before that Prince Wu has a deep love for her, but she looks down on him a little bit. Prince Wu has a long-term love."

Tong Xuan said: "It's quite affectionate, but it's a pity that her eyes are not very good."

After Qiao Jinniang got the money, she didn't care about the feud between Zhou Siming and Tong Yingying, as long as Tong Yingying was willing to pay the money.

After everyone left, Qiao Jinniang looked at the banknotes. The more she looked at them, the more familiar they became. Aren't several banknotes from Huiyuan Bank? The man behind Huiyuan Bank is Xie Yun.

These silver coins did not come from Chang'an, but from Lin'an.

Although Huiyuan also has a branch in Chang'an, the branch in Chang'an is only for those who can withdraw silver and cannot exchange the silver for silver notes. There are not many people in Chang'an who have such a large amount of Huiyuan bank notes.

Lu Chen came in from the door and saw Qiao Jinniang counting the banknotes and said: "Last night, Zhou Siming came to ask me to borrow 10,000 taels of banknotes. He was afraid that the Duke of Wu would find out that what was used was my private account. I used yours." The banknote given to me in Lin'an."

During the Lantern Festival last year, Lu Chen regained his memory and wanted to go back to Chang'an. Qiao Jinniang was worried that the mountains were high and the rivers were long. As the saying goes, a poor family would be rich, so she gave Lu Chen more than 10,000 taels in money.

She had already forgotten about it. If she had remembered, she would have returned the silver at this time last year.

Qiao Jinniang counted the banknotes in her hand and said, "No wonder, the banknotes look more and more familiar. Since Tong Yingying used my own money to compensate me, this banknote must be returned to Zhou Siming."

"What does this have to do with Tong Yingying?" Lu Chen asked curiously.

Qiao Jinniang said: "Zhou Siming borrowed such a large sum of money from you, and you didn't even ask him what he used it for?"

Lu Chen said: "Why ask? He simply doesn't know how to use silver coins indiscriminately. Maybe there are difficulties that he cannot let his uncle know."

Qiao Jinniang informed Lu Chen about Tong Yingying's payment of money, "Zhou Siming likes Tong Yingying, and this money was paid to me for Tong Yingying."

Lu Chen frowned and said, "Absolutely impossible. Zhou Siming's vision cannot be so bad."

Qiao Jinniang put away the banknote and said, "Is it possible that what Tong Xuan and Qin Miaomiao said is still false? If Zhou Siming doesn't like Tong Yingying, is he willing to pay thirty thousand taels?"

Thirty thousand taels is a big expense for anyone.

Even for the dignified prince Wu Guogong, this amount of money is considered a huge amount.

Lu Chen couldn't refute, he always felt that something was wrong.

…

In the Duke's Mansion of Wu Kingdom.

Zhou Shihui had been making trouble for three whole days, but he still refused to learn the rules and clamored to go out to see his senior brother.

Mrs. Zhou had a headache because of this.

Mrs. Wu Guogong heard the rumor in the small courtyard that the Tong family's confidant was coming as a dowry. She frowned and said, "Is it really Tong Yingying?"

"Can I still have a holiday? The prince gave all his personal jade pendants to Miss Tong!"

Although Mrs. Wu Guogong's surname is Tong, her heart is biased towards her biological son. Tong Yingying's reputation has been completely lost now, so it is extremely inappropriate to marry into Duke Wu's house.

How could her son choose Tong Yingying among the many women in Chang'an?

After all, she is also her niece. It would be inappropriate for her, an aunt, to beat up the mandarin ducks.

"Madam, what's wrong, Miss Zhou is making a fuss about hanging herself!"

Zhou Shihui was locked in the room, her thoughts focused on Qiao Lu outside. She didn't want to watch her and her senior brother miss each other.

Mrs. Wu Guogong had a terrible headache, "They mother and daughter are really..."

Remembering that she was the daughter that the old lady cherished in her heart, Mrs. Wu Guogong didn't say anything after all, and just asked people to collect all the things that could be used to hang themselves.

…

In the East Palace, flowers are in full bloom. Qiao Jinniang has been in the East Palace for ten days, but she still has not been able to visit the entire East Palace.

The East Palace is about a thousand acres, and it would take several days to walk around it.

The backyard of the East Palace is empty, and many of the courtyards have been neglected and have grown weeds.

So many empty courtyards are wasted.

Qiao Jinniang couldn't help but feel a little pity, but she couldn't think of a use for it. She couldn't help but sigh that it was no wonder that the prince had hundreds of concubines.

Even if there are hundreds of people, this East Palace can definitely accommodate them.

"The Crown Princess has been in the East Palace for ten days, how come you haven't heard about the selection of a concubine? After all, the Crown Princess is not favored. If we can follow a favored Crown Princess and a concubine, we don't have to pull weeds here anymore."

"Shh, be careful not to be overheard."

"Who can hear it in such a remote corner? It's impossible for the prince to be alone. The number of heirs in the East Palace is very few, and His Highness must take it as his own responsibility to spread the branches!"

Qiao Jinniang sighed when she heard the maid's words. Even the maids in the palace thought so.

She cut some beautiful flowers in the garden and went to the Xiande Hall, which was the palace where Lu Chen and the officials from the East Palace handled official business.

When Qiao Jinniang was taking the flowers, Gu Ming saw her outside the palace from a distance and greeted her, "Is your Majesty here to see His Highness?"

Qiao Jinniang nodded and said: "Well, I picked a lot of flowers in the garden and want to put them in Lu Chen... His Highness's study."

Gu Ming said, "Your Majesty, wait a moment, let me go and make an announcement."

Qiao Jinniang frowned slightly, but did not embarrass Gu Ming. She was waiting outside the hall holding flowers.

After a while, a white-haired old man came over, saluted Qiao Jinniang and said, "I, the old minister, the prince and the grand master, are here to see you."

Qiao Jinniang smiled back and said: "It turns out to be the Grand Master, please excuse me quickly."

The old master bowed to Qiao Jinniang and said, "Your Majesty and Your Majesty have been married for ten days. Virtue and virtue should come first. Now the Crown Prince's harem is empty and there is only the Emperor's grandson at his knees. I hope that your Majesty will arrange to select a concubine for Your Highness as soon as possible." Make contributions to the royal family."

Qiao Jinniang broke the flower branch in her hand and said with a smile: "Does the Grand Master have a daughter?"

"Your Majesty, my daughter is already over forty, so it is difficult for her to enter the palace..."

Qiao Jinniang said: "That's not what I meant. I just want to ask the Grand Master, ten days after your daughter goes out, will you advise her to take a concubine for her husband?"

"This is naturally different. The Prince of the East Palace is an unusual husband. Spreading branches and leaves is also a major event for the country!"

The Crown Prince and Grand Master bowed and advised Qiao Jinniang.

Qiao Jinniang said: "Oh, it turns out that spreading branches and leaves is a major matter for the country, so why does the East Palace have to support the grand master and other ministers? Can't it be enough to just let the women continue to have children?"

The Crown Prince frowned and looked at Qiao Jinniang, "My Lady, please respect your identity."

Qiao Jinniang sneered and said, "If I advise the Grand Master's wife to keep her appearance good after marriage, I'm afraid the Grand Master will be even more angry than me!"

The Crown Prince frowned, feeling secretly disdainful in his heart. Although she was the legitimate daughter of the Hou family, she still grew up in the countryside. She was so stingy and jealous, and not generous or virtuous enough.
