Becoming The Real Rich Daughter After Divorce

Qiao Jinniang said to Qian: "Then go to my courtyard and talk. You used to come to my courtyard when you were young."

The small courtyard is not far behind Baiwei Building. Qian Shi used to live opposite her house, but after she got married, the house here was sold.

Qiao Jinniang entered the small courtyard and found that nothing had changed. It was rebuilt and repaired. It can be seen that Lu Chen put his heart into restoring the house.

Qian Shi followed Qiao Jinniang to the hall of the small courtyard, and whispered: "Jinniang, do you still remember Mei Canruo?"

Qiao Jinniang still has a good impression of Mei Canruo, she is quite unique in the academy.

I heard that her ancestor was the Mei family, a famous family in Jinling, and the Mei family had a prime minister in the dynasty.

When the first emperor's period was prosperous, it once made people feel that the family had recovered.

However, when Qiao Jinniang met her, the Mei family had already fallen. She remembered that when she was almost eleven years old, Mei Canruo couldn't even pay the tuition fees, and she was almost dismissed by the academy.

It was heard that Mei Canruo's parents had been beheaded according to the law, and she survived only by the support of a pair of loyal servants who had left the Mei family.

At that time, it was heard that the loyal servant sold his daughter as a slave, so Mei Canruo was allowed to stay in the academy to study.

The girls in the college were somewhat disliked by Mei Canruo, and it was also because of Mei Canruo's demeanor as a daughter of a family.

At that time, except for Qiao Jinniang and Qiu Sunai, who were merchant girls in the Tianzi class of the college, who were not from official families, they all hated Mei Canruo's aloofness.

Qiao Jinniang didn't like Mei Canruo either, although she didn't make fun of herself as a merchant girl with others at that time.

But when she passed by, she would cover her nose with her faded silk handkerchief.

When someone asked her why she covered her nose, she said she couldn't smell the smell of copper.

Qiao Jinniang was also young at that time, and she liked to go to Mei Canruo in bright little dresses to see her annoyed.

Qiao Jinniang wore the best silk and the best fragrance, which was much more fragrant than Mei Canruo's two sets of dresses throughout the year.

But ever since Mei Can relied on loyal servants to sell her daughter to study in the academy since she was a child, Qiao Jinniang has become more sensible and is no longer so naive and showing off.

Qian Shi said: "After you left the academy, the women in the academy didn't associate with you because of Mei Canruo."

"Isn't it because they were afraid of offending the son of the prefect of Lin'an at that time?"

Qiao Jinniang asked, her parents were seriously ill and she had to leave the school. In fact, many students in her class also dropped out at that time.

It's just that there are often banquets. After Qiao Jinniang left the college, those sisters who had been classmates for ten years did not have any contact with her. Even when she married Lu Chen, no one came to write posts for them.

Until Qiu Su came to Chang'an that year, Qiao Jinniang heard from Qiu Su that she never came to her wedding because she was afraid of offending the prefect of Lin'an.

Mrs. Qian shook her head and said: "No, at that time I was washing clothes for the women in charge of those daughters' mansions, and when I went to their courtyards, I heard Mei Canruo gossip about you behind your back.

At that time, I didn't think to tell you, until a few years ago, something happened to Mr. Yang's family, the prefect of Jinling. Miss Li from Yaoyao came to slander you because of Mei Canruo's instigation. "

Qiao Jinniang heard the words and thought of Miss Li who died young, and asked: "If Yang Qinqing was wronged, why didn't he write a letter to express his grievances?"

Qian said: "Back then, the Mei family in Jinling and the Xie family in Lin'an were both aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River. The ancestors of the two families had relatives by marriage. At that time, I heard from Master Yang that Mei Canruo would be the concubine of the head of the Xie family in the future.

He has already been demoted, and if he wants to stay in the Jiangnan officialdom in the future, why bother to offend Xie's family?

What's more, Mei Canruo didn't do anything at all, she just provoked Yang Qinqing a bit. "

Hong Ling offered Qian a cup of tea, and Qian took the tea and thanked her repeatedly: "Jinniang, you must be careful about Mei Canruo, she is very scheming."

Qiao Jinniang sneered and said, "Patriarch Xie's concubine? Mei Canruo said it herself?"

Qian said: "This matter is a secret that is not passed on among the big households in the south of the Yangtze River. This matter has been lingering in my heart for a long time.

I thought about telling Nuomi, but I was afraid that Nuomi would have a blunt temper, so I went directly to Mei Canruo for fear that she would fool me with her clever words.

What's more, if you are in Chang'an, if Mei Can is in Lin'an, she will not be able to harm you, and her hands will not be so long, so forget it.

But since you came back this time, I think I should mention you first. If you don't believe me, you can invite your classmates from back then to get together.

Back then when you left Lin'an and disappeared without a trace, after the Qiao family slandered you for adultery and was divorced, you left in shame, and Miss Wei, Miss Feng and others have spoken for you..."

Qiao Jinniang said, "Thank you, Sister Qian, for telling me about this."

Mei Canruo... She really thought that Mei Canruo was so noble back then, but she didn't expect her to do so many things behind her back, it was really disgusting.

Qiao Jinniang went back to the room and saw Lu Chen sitting by the window, so she and Lu Chen told Lu Chen everything Qian said.

After listening to it, Lu Chen said: "Now that I think about it, there was indeed a young lady who claimed to be from the Jinling Mei family, and she came to me and said something."

"What did she say to you?"

Lu Chen said with a faint smile: "It was half a month after we got married, she told me that you are unruly and self-willed in the college, have a violent temper, love to beat people, and disrespect your elders..."

"She came to you behind my back to say this, why didn't you tell me? How did you answer her back then?" Qiao Jinniang asked.

Ten years ago, if she had known that Mei Canruo was saying so many bad things about her behind her back, she would have ripped Mei Canruo's mouth to pieces!

Lu Chen said: "I told you not to be angry?"

"Of course not." Qiao Jinniang said: "Ten years have passed, and I'm not such an angry person."

Lu Chen said: "I told her back then that you were not only unruly and hot-tempered, but also snored and grinded your teeth..."

Qiao Jinniang's eyes widened, "When did I snore and grind my teeth?"

Lu Chen said: "If you don't say that, she still wants to pester me. It's better to let her think that I stayed as her son-in-law because of your money. I'm a worthless man. She won't be jealous of you anymore."

Qiao Jinniang said, "Why didn't you tell me then?"

Lu Chen said: "At that time, your parents were seriously ill, and you were in front of your parents' hospital bed every day, if I told you about this, wouldn't it make your parents even more worried if you went out to make trouble?

Besides, you and I didn't know each other well at the time. I told you about this matter. I can't guarantee whether you believe in your classmate of ten years or me. "

Qiao Jinniang also understood after hearing Lu Chen's explanation, "I heard that she is the appointed concubine of Patriarch Xie. I'm going to ask Xie Yun if it's true."

Lu Chen said: "What if it's true?"

Qiao Jinniang said: "Really, then Luo Wei's death needs to be investigated, I'm curious why Zhou Shihui did this to kill Qiao Ruoyi and Nishang?

Isn't she afraid that she will lose her life after the incident is revealed? Qian Yin might not protect her niece!

You hate our Qiao family, why do you only target these two people?

Unless she has another way out, it's just that she didn't expect that Qiao Ruoyi would directly kill her for revenge before she showed her cards! "
