Chapter 303: Ex-husband Takes Credit

Lu Qiniang untied her apron, threw it aside, and said, "Shunzi, I'm telling you the truth. I'm just worried that you'll be embarrassed, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to see him. He's also sure of this, there's nothing I can do."

As long as people are alive, they will have all kinds of ties.

Zhang Heyao is shameless and disregards their old relationship, she can't do that.

"Abandoned Mother, your cake is delicious." Sun Shun said.

Lu Qinniang was immediately delighted, her eyebrows beaming with joy as she said, "Isn't that right? I learned this from Daya. Here, I'll bring you some back. This pancake is delicious when it's hot, and it tastes completely different when it's cold. Both are delicious."

She cut a large bag for Sun Shun and said, "Take it back and let your grandmother try it. It tastes good even if you soak it in water."

Sun Shun followed her, carrying a large bag of pancakes.

When Lu Qiniang saw Zhang Heyao, she didn't look happy at all. She found a chair and sat down. "What are you doing?"

"You weren't like this the last time you begged me." Zhang Heyao said, "You can't even call me brother?"

"I have nothing to ask you today, and I don't want to shout." Lu Qin's mother said unhappily, "Hurry up, I have to go back to make pancakes. If the fire in the stove goes out, I'll have to light it again, which is very troublesome."

Zhang Heyao sneered, "You're useless. You don't even know how to think about something useful."

"If I had any future, and you became Chen Shimei, wouldn't I chop you into pieces?" Lu Qiniang said, "Don't be so ungrateful. Let's get to the point, stop nagging."

"I ask you, why did Dujuan want to hurt you?"

"You know too?" Lu Qiniang muttered, "Good news never travels far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. This matter is over, no need to mention it anymore."

"Answer me!" Zhang Heyao snapped. "I get so mad every time I see you doing something stupid."

"Then why do you insist on coming to see me? I'm being stupid, aren't you being a bitch?"

Zhang Heyao: “…”

Lu Qiniang still told the story, "Alright, I'm done, I have to go back to work."

"Do you think it's that simple? Has she been jealous for just one or two days? Why did she get angry for no reason?"

Lu Qiniang: "A dog needs to pick an auspicious day to bite? She fell ill on that day, what should I do? She's already dead, am I still going to argue with her? If you have something to say, just say it directly. It's useless to beat around the bush and try this trick on me."

Zhang Heyao gritted his teeth and said, "It was Xiao Yan. It was Xiao Yan who caused this trouble."

"What does it have to do with Xiao Yan?" Lu Qiniang didn't believe it.

Zhang Heyao told them about how they asked for Wang Yun, which caused the Seventh Princess to hold a grudge against her, and how she planned to cuckold Xiao Yan.

"Really?" Lu Qiniang looked unconvinced.

"Do I need to lie to you?" Zhang Heyao asked back.

"How do you know so clearly?" Lu Qiniang whispered, "Even Xiao Yan doesn't know."

"Because I am stronger than Xiao Yan, and I care about you more than Xiao Yan does." Zhang Heyao said.

"Okay, okay, you're strong, I get it." Lu Qiniang said, "Thank you for reminding me."

Zhang Heyao listened and finally his brows relaxed.

Fortunately, she did not confuse good with bad.

"What are you going to do next?" Zhang Heyao asked again, "I don't think the Seventh Princess will give up easily. You'd better make a decision as soon as possible."

For example, breaking up with Xiao Yan.

“From now on, whether you or your three adopted daughters, if you encounter any problems, you can come to me.

"What can I do? She's a princess, what can I do? I want Wangyun back. She hurt me once, and now we're even." Lu Qiniang said, "If she does this again, I'll have to go to the emperor to seek justice."

She now knows the emperor.

"Ask the emperor for justice? Why don't you ask the Jade Emperor for justice?" Zhang Heyao sneered.

"How do you know I can't?" Lu Qiniang snorted coldly, "Okay, I'm done talking to you. I'm going back to make pancakes."

"Where is Xiao Yan?" Zhang Heyao asked unwillingly.

Shouldn't we stay away from people who bring storms?

"I can't tell Xiao Yan about this." Lu Qiniang said, "You too, don't be so mean to get involved. Xiao Yan is different from you. He is too self-aware and considerate, and he feels guilty easily."

If Xiao Yan knew that this incident was caused by him, he would definitely not be able to sleep again.

That's of no use.

What's happened is over, let it be.

He had already broken off relations with the Marquis' Mansion and had no further contact with them.

Don't let him feel bad. He is already pitiful enough with no father loving him and no mother cares for him.

Zhang Heyao almost vomited blood in anger.

Unexpectedly, Lu Qiniang was smart this time.

She actually understood Zhang Heyao's intention of sowing discord.

She said, "Please stop working on this. I appreciate your help, but if you hadn't, this matter would have been over. Don't say Xiao Yan didn't mean to implicate me. Even if Xiao Yan follows your example and becomes a traitor, even if I hate him to death, it doesn't mean I can forgive you. Those are two different things. This is between us, so we should resolve it between us. Don't drag others into it."

"I pulled someone else in? Wasn't it Xiao Yan who put you in danger?" Zhang Heyao said angrily, "Even if... I'm at least your brother now. Do I have to be scolded by you for asking you to stay away from the man who brought you trouble?"

You really don't know what's good for you.

"You're only my brother when I need you," Lu Qiniang said. "At my parents' graves, you're my brother. Don't worry about other things. You take so much salary from the court, how can you have the nerve to worry about such trivial matters of mine every day? If you have that much time, can't you do something for the people? I think you're still too idle."

"Okay, you're so idle, but I'm very busy. I'm going back to make pancakes!"

After saying that, Lu Qiniang trotted away.

Zhang Heyao finally left the bank with a bag of pancakes.

Today's attempt to sow discord failed, and the consolation prize is a bag of pancakes that is more important than him. How nice.

After Qingming Festival, the canal became busy.

Xiao Yan also began to implement his plan of revenge against the prince.

He kept his composure and began to prepare one by one without showing any emotion.

No one in the family, except Daya, knew what he was busy with.

Although Erya's shop has limited investment and can only sell cheap rouge and powder, it is still more profitable than expected thanks to the flowers and ornaments. After deducting the costs, she can still make about half a tael of silver every day.

Erya was very happy.

However, Yun Ting encountered some difficulties when he became a disciple.

Mr. Liu was really adamant and no matter how hard he tried, it was of little use.

In desperation, Yun Ting could only come to Lu Qiniang for help.
