Old Mrs. Jiang, trembling all over, grabbed her eldest daughter-in-law, exclaiming, "Impossible!"

"Why is it impossible? Mother, if you don't believe me, go to the yamen and ask Wang Wenshu. This divorce agreement has been stamped with the official seal. It's impossible that Gu Niangzi has connections everywhere and bribed people in the yamen just to cheat you, right?"

“That’s right, what kind of blessed land is your Jiang family? Little Gu is so capable, he can live well on his own, why should he have to suffer from you, old woman?” Liu Jiuniang straightened her back, watching Old Lady Jiang tremble and faint on the ground, she reached out her hand but then withdrew it.

What are you trying to save?

If we actually save them, they might try to take advantage of us.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, although the cause was unclear, the reason was roughly understood.

The crowd that had gathered to watch the commotion dispersed, and Jiang Lao Er and Jiang Xiao Fei, who had originally intended to leave, were stopped. "Take them away."

Jiang Xiaofei looked at his mother, who was covered in stench, and pouted, "No, she's heavy and smelly, I don't want to carry her."

Jiang Ersao had lost several teeth and was already in excruciating pain; hearing this made her feel even more miserable.

But Liu Jiuniang laughed when she heard this. "Tsk tsk, people say Xiao Gu doesn't know how to raise children, but you've raised your son extremely well. He doesn't even care about his own mother. You really know how to raise children."

Hearing this, Jiang Ersao's already swollen face turned even redder with embarrassment. She raised her hand as if to slap her son, but in the end, she couldn't bring herself to do it.

This is the Jiang family's only grandson, who will inherit the family business in the future, and the father will also rely on this child to support him in his old age and see him off in his final days.

Before Jiang Ersao could slap her, Jiang Xiaofei pushed his mother, who was covered in a foul stench, and said, "You're filthy, disgusting."

Once again stabbed in the back by her beloved son, Jiang Ersao, disregarding the fact that her bones were almost broken from the fall, covered her face and ran away.

Seeing this, Liu Jiuniang couldn't help but shake her head. This person loved to slander others, always saying that others hadn't raised their children well, without even looking at her own son's behavior.

Even a dog doesn't mind a poor home.

As everyone dispersed, only the long-distance carriage remained parked there. A young woman stepped out of the carriage, her figure graceful. Although a light veil covered most of her face, her eyes and brows revealed her to be a beauty.

Liu Jiuniang was stunned. "Such a beauty must be a celestial being descended to earth."

As soon as she finished speaking, a gust of wind blew in, lifting most of the veil. Liu Jiuniang happened to see the狰狞 (zhengning, meaning ferocious or hideous) expression on the face and was completely dumbfounded. "How, how could this be?"

Fu Lingshu calmly put her veil back on and looked at Gu An'an. "My family and I have traveled a long way to reach this esteemed place. I wonder if we could ask for a cup of tea at your shop, madam?"

Gu An'an also saw that half of her face. It should have been flawless, but now it had several hideous scars, like centipedes crawling across her face.

Even ordinary women love beauty, let alone a young lady from a wealthy family like Fu Lingshu.

The destruction of her beauty is truly a human tragedy.

However, Fu Lingshu does not seem to be an ordinary girl.

Gu An'an smiled and agreed, "That would be an honor to have you here."

Fu Lingshu couldn't help but smile upon hearing this; this Lady Gu certainly knew how to speak.

After the shops on both sides were connected, the original incense shop is now bustling with diners.

Gu An'an originally wanted to lead Fu Lingshu to this quiet place, but unexpectedly, this young lady of the Fu family preferred excitement and went to the right.

"Beautiful sister, how can you come to Anping County without having a bowl of 'Golden Jade Abundance' at Gu's Restaurant? I guarantee that after you eat here, all your wishes will come true and your dreams will come true."

Jiang Mingxu's endearing introduction made Fu Lingshu smile. "What if my wish can't be fulfilled?"

"Then try harder, sister, maybe you'll succeed."

Fu Lingshu laughed at these words, "You are such a lovely child."

"Everyone says so, sister, your praise isn't very sincere. My mother's 'Golden Jade Abundance' is absolutely amazing, sister, don't you really want to try it?"

Fu Lingshu smiled and glanced at the menu on the wall, then her gaze fell on the old nanny beside her. "Nanny, shall we try some?"

Granny Luo nodded, "Then bring out some of the best food."

Jiang Mingxu smiled and agreed, "Okay, if it's not delicious, you don't have to pay."

As he spoke, he limped over the door in the wall and went to the kitchen.

"This child is quite pleasing to the eye, and he does resemble the thirteenth prince somewhat."

The thirteenth prince is the youngest son of the Longqing Emperor, and he is only five years old this year.

However, his birth mother is unknown. It is said that she was a palace maid who had a difficult childbirth. The imperial heir survived, but he himself did not have the same good fortune.

“Children all look pretty much the same,” Granny Luo said with a smile, glancing around before her gaze fell on Jiang Mingzhu, who was wiping the table.

Fu Lingshu also looked over, and couldn't help but laugh when she saw the slightly immature face. "What's wrong, Granny?"

"It's nothing." I just felt that this young girl resembled a distinguished person I had met before.

However, Anping County is just a small town; how could a noble person have fallen to such a state?

As the master and servant were chatting, someone else came in. "I heard someone's come looking for trouble again? If you ask me, why don't you move and open a small shop in Anzhou Prefecture? There are more people there, so business will definitely be better than here, and no one will bother you."

"That won't do. If Madam Gu leaves, where will we eat? Isn't life all about eating and drinking? What's the point of living without good food and drink?"

"Exactly, we can't all move to Anzhou Prefecture, can we?"
