Died In Infancy! My Wife Is Actually A Villain

After lunch, Gu Chen and the two planned to return to Prince Zhuang's Mansion.

While walking on the road, something was obviously wrong with Jiang Heyan. Her eyes glanced at Gu Chen from time to time, and her face was always flushed for no reason.

"Do you have something to tell me?"

Gu Chen noticed the other party's unusual behavior and asked curiously.

"No, no!"

Jiang Heyan's eyes averted and she said in a panic.

Gu Chen looked at her carefully and didn't ask any more questions.

"Your Highness, wait a moment!"

Just when Gu Chen and Gu Chen arrived at the door of the house and were about to get on the carriage, Jiang Anran hurried out and shouted loudly.

You get in the car first, I'll be back in a moment. "

Gu Chen glanced at Jiang Anran, and then said to Jiang Heyan beside him.

Jiang Heyan glanced at Jiang Anran somewhat uncomfortably, and after a moment's hesitation, she silently got into the carriage.

"Miss Jiang, do you have something to do with me?"

After seeing Jiang Heyan get into the car, Gu Chen walked towards Jiang Anran and asked curiously.

Jiang Anran thought briefly for a while, then looked up at Gu Chen, "Your Highness, actually I have something to discuss with you."

"Miss Jiang, please tell me." Gu Chen asked.

"Didn't I tell you last time that I was going to open a hot pot restaurant? Now the store is almost ready and will be opened soon. And I'm sure that as soon as my store opens, the business will be prosperous and profitable. A lot of silver."

Halfway through the words, Jiang Anran smiled awkwardly, "But now I have an idea to open another branch like this in Kyoto. After all, as you know, my hot pot is relatively new, and I have never seen anything like this in Kyoto." The way of eating is sure to attract a lot of diners, and the business should not be bad either."

"So... what is the purpose of Miss Jiang looking for me now?" Gu Chen asked.

Jiang Anran scratched his head subconsciously, and then smiled again, "Your Highness, after all, I can be considered your eldest sister-in-law. Look... can you lend me some money first and let me put up the store?"

"But don't worry, my brother will settle the score. I am usually the most honest person. I will definitely pay back the money I lent you."

Gu Chen pretended to think for a moment, then looked at Jiang Anran and asked, "How much money does Miss Jiang want to borrow?"

"Um..."

When asked by Gu Chen, Jiang Anran was a little confused.

The other party's promise was too straightforward. Did she originally think that she would have to lie a lot to get the loan?

Moreover, opening a branch is actually just an excuse for her. The most important thing for her now is to pay off the wages of the store chef, as well as the money for future employees, ingredients, and materials.

This sum of money is enough for two gold coins.

But now she has opened the door to open a branch.

It would be bad if one day Prince Zhuang found out that she was lying and went directly to her grandfather to complain.

"Twenty taels of gold."

After some serious consideration, Jiang Anran stretched out two fingers and said very seriously.

Gu Chen looked at her fingers and then said, "Okay, come to my house tomorrow and I will give you the money."

He really doesn't have that much money now, and besides, he plans to talk to Jiang Anran and try to buy some stocks.

After all, money can’t be given away for free.

"When will His Highness be free tomorrow, I will come over then." Jiang Anran's face was filled with joy.

"Afternoon! I should be at home."

"Okay! Then I'll come over tomorrow afternoon. Your Highness, if there's nothing else to do, I'll go back first."

"OK."

After some negotiation, Jiang Anran turned and returned to Prince Zhuang's Mansion, and Gu Chen also got on the carriage.

"She...has something to do with His Highness?"

As soon as she got on the carriage, Jiang Heyan couldn't wait to look at Gu Chen and asked curiously.

Gu Chen nodded, "She wants to open a branch, but she doesn't have so much money, so she wants to borrow money from me."

"Did His Highness lend it to her?" Jiang Heyan couldn't help but look at Gu Chen.

Gu Chen smiled generously and said, "Borrow it, I'll ask her to come to the house tomorrow to get the money."

"Okay..." Jiang Heyan lowered her head and said softly.

She had already been mentally prepared.

His Highness had mentioned the many benefits of Jiang Anran opening a store last time, and she could understand why His Highness would help him.

But she still felt a little uncomfortable when she thought about her man now helping a woman she hated the most.

"parking."

Gu Chen saw that Jiang Heyan was feeling a little depressed, so he opened the window and said to the guards outside.

After saying this, the carriage stopped immediately, and then Gu Chen got up and walked out of the carriage.

Looking at Gu Chen's back after getting out of the car, Jiang Heyan panicked, thinking that her actions just now made the other person unhappy.

Just when she was about to explain, Gu Chen was already standing outside the carriage and stretched out his right hand towards her with a gentle smile on his face.

"It's so early today. I've been dealing with official duties during this period and I haven't gone shopping with you yet. Now that I'm free, do you want to go for a walk together?"

Seeing Gu Chen's actions at this moment, Jiang Heyan froze on the spot in a daze. Her bright big eyes stared blankly at the other person's gentle and kind face, and her heart suddenly felt warm.

"Don't you want to hang out outside?" Gu Chen asked with a smile, seeing Jiang Heyan sitting where she was.

"without..."

Only then did Jiang Heyan come to her senses, and then she reservedly placed her little hand in Gu Chen's, and he led her out of the carriage.

"Is there somewhere you want to go? Shall I go with you?" Gu Chen lowered his head and asked, looking at Jiang Heyan standing next to him.

"Everything is fine. How about we take a stroll first..." Jiang Heyan blushed and said anxiously.

His Highness held her hand and never let go.

I feel... my heart is beating so fast!

"Okay, let's go shopping around first. If there's anything you like, tell me and I'll buy it for you." Gu Chen said.

He couldn't compromise on Jiang Anran's store opening just because he took care of his emotions.

Because the hot pot restaurant opened by Jiang Anran can indeed make a lot of money.

Moreover, in the spring of next year, a serious famine will break out in Huzhou, which will require a lot of money and food.

In the original plot, Jiang Anran hoarded a large amount of money and food because of opening a hotpot restaurant, and helped the King of Jin solve the famine problem at the beginning of the next spring.

After that, the King of Jin was not only appreciated by the emperor, but she was also promoted to the title of princess, completely getting rid of her status as a concubine of the Zhenguo Duke's mansion.

Furthermore, the funds earned from the hot pot restaurant can also help him expand his power and train people in the future.

All in all, Jiang Anran’s hot pot restaurant business can really be of great use to Gu Chen.

Therefore, even though he knew Jiang Heyan might be unhappy, he still chose to lend money to her.

Of course, Gu Chen did not completely ignore Jiang Heyan's emotions.

Now I take her out shopping because I actually want to help her feel comfortable.

After all, the relationship between the two girls is related to the previous generation. Even if Gu Chen is doing ideological work, Jiang Heyan will probably find it difficult to listen.

Instead of doing this, it is better to take her for a walk nearby and forget all these unhappy troubles.
