"Let's go eat noodles. If we don't eat more noodles soon, we might not be able to eat them again in the future."
“Why can’t I eat it?”
"Haven't you heard? The owner of Xue's Noodle Shop has been conferred the title of County Lady by His Majesty! She'll be a top-tier person in the future, with endless wealth and treasures to enjoy. Why would she want to open a noodle shop and earn a few small bucks?"
"What's going on? She was named a county lady? Why haven't I heard of it?"
"You are ignorant about this, right? Let me explain it to you..."
In the casino, a group of people gathered together to talk about a big news that happened recently in Lucheng.
The protagonist in the news is Xue Huan, who was conferred the title of county lord for her great contribution in developing movable type printing.
Cao Xun, who was wandering around the casino, overheard this, but initially took it for granted until he heard someone say, "It's said that the county lady was kicked out of her home by her own father. Once kicked out, her luck changed. I wonder if her father is regretting it so much right now..."
Driven out by her own father? Cao Xun immediately caught these key words, and he couldn't help but think of the evil daughter he had driven out.
Could it be that she was the one who was conferred the title of County Lady?
Isn’t it said that the county lady is a girl with the surname Xue?
Cao Xun couldn't help but step forward and interject, "Why was that county lady kicked out by her own father?"
Others thought he was just curious and said, "I heard her father is a terrible person. He spends all his time drinking and gambling. He squandered all his family property and her mother's dowry, and even sold her to pay off his gambling debts. The county lady severed all ties with her father, so didn't her father kick her out of the house? The county lady's mother couldn't bear to leave her daughter, so she left with her..."
"Well done! The county lady is unlucky to have a father like that! He's even willing to sell his own daughter. This kind of person is hopeless. If she doesn't sever ties with him, she'll probably end up in that lowly, filthy place, and her life will be ruined!"
However, some people hold the opposite view.
"If you ask me, there are no parents who are not right in the world. That county lady is too unfilial. How could she sever ties with her father? Her father raised her to this age and provided her with food and drink. Now that she has grown up, she should repay her parents. Even if her father wants to sell her, that is what she deserves as a child..."
Cao Xun nodded as he listened, feeling that this person had really hit the nail on the head.
Suddenly, the man turned around and stared at Cao Xun. "Hey, I suddenly remembered, Old Cao, didn't you say before that your daughter had severed ties with you? Could it be that the county lady is your daughter who was kicked out of the house? Old Cao, your luck is too bad at this time. If it were later tonight, you would be the county lady's father, and we would all have to call you Master Cao, haha, don't you agree?"
The group of people burst into laughter.
After laughing, he encouraged Cao Xun: "Come on, let's go and see if that county lady is your daughter, Old Cao. If she is, Old Cao, you will be rich."
In fact, no one thought that the county lord and Cao Xun were really father and daughter. After all, the county lord's surname was Xue, and Cao Xun's surname was Cao. How could they be father and daughter when their surnames were completely unrelated?
But this didn't stop them from making fun of Cao Xun.
Although Cao Xun knew it was unlikely, he still couldn't help but hold on to some faint hope, just like hoping that he could get rich by gambling.
A group of people came to Xue Ji Noodle House.
The noodle shop has resumed business.
Inside, Xue Huan and the hired woman were busy.
Although she had been granted the title of County Lady and received a large sum of money and property, she couldn't just sit back and enjoy all her savings, could she? Besides, one always had to have something to do, and since she had already decided to open a noodle shop, she didn't want to give up halfway.
However, as a county lady appointed by the emperor himself, she had to consider the face of the court, so she would most likely move behind the scenes in the future, and would only be responsible for technical issues such as the development of noodle varieties and the preparation of sauces. The specific matters of opening a shop, making noodles and serving customers would be left to hired people.
But she hadn't found a suitable candidate yet, so she couldn't just give up and continued to work in the store.
Thanks to the popularity of her being named County Lady, the store's customer flow has increased significantly in recent days, almost two or three times as much as before.
Xue Huan was so busy that she almost couldn't breathe.
Recruiting is urgent.
Xue Huan was busy in the kitchen when she suddenly heard a commotion outside, as if someone was making trouble.
She put down the colander for cooking noodles and went out to see that Cao Xun, that bastard, was holding on to Chen.
Cao Xun, instigated by a group of gambling buddies, came to Xue's Noodle House, where he happened to run into Chen who was delivering lunch to Xue Huan.
Xue Huan runs her own noodle shop and is tired of eating noodles, so she doesn't eat lunch in the shop. Instead, she goes home to eat, or has Chen make and deliver it to her.
Now her injured bones have almost healed, and she can no longer lift heavy objects, but has no problem with her daily activities.
So she came to bring food to her daughter.
Unexpectedly, he ran into Cao Xun as soon as he arrived.
When Cao Xun saw her, the glimmer of hope in his heart suddenly grew infinitely. He grabbed Chen and said, "Tell me, is this Xueji Noodle House opened by that bitch, Liuer? Is she the county lady personally appointed by the emperor?!"
How could Chen admit it?
Now that she was with her daughter, her life was much better than before. Thinking about how she used to work like a slave in the Cao family, she couldn't help but feel that she was really stupid! How could a rotten man like Cao Xun be worth her endurance and sacrifice?
Now that her daughter had made it big, she stood tall in front of Cao Xun, feeling much more confident. "So what? Didn't you want to sell Liu'er to the casino to pay off your debts? Didn't you already sever your father-daughter relationship with Liu'er? Why are you still here? I'm telling you, Cao Xun, Liu'er has nothing to do with you anymore! Don't even think about taking advantage of her!"
If Xue Huan said this, others would probably accuse her of being unfilial, but coming from Chen's mother, it seemed much more natural.
Cao Xun: "Bullshit! She, Cao Liu, was born by me. Even if my bones are broken, my tendons are still connected. She has to call me daddy for the rest of her life! She has to serve and be filial to me!"
Just then, Xue Huan came out.
"Let my mother go!" she shouted.
Cao Xun looked back and subconsciously let go. Xue Huan took the opportunity to pull Chen over, her face cold: "What are you doing here?"
"Oh, Old Cao, the owner of Xue's Noodle House, the Princess of Kangning, who was personally appointed by the emperor, is really your daughter? Oh, this is incredible!"
Someone among the group of gamblers who had previously instigated Cao Xun to come over said in an exaggerated tone.
Cao Xun looked at Xue Huan as if he were looking at a huge mountain of gold, his face filled with excitement and ecstasy. "Liu'er, come home with Dad. Dad was confused a few days ago and didn't really want to sell you off. Please forgive Dad this time."
Someone nearby, enjoying the excitement, started to jeer, "Yes, County Lady. A son won't despise his mother's ugliness, and a daughter won't despise her father's poverty. Just because you've become a County Lady, don't you despise your original family?"
This is really heartbreaking!
Xue Huan glanced at the person who spoke, and that person shrank his head and disappeared into the crowd.
She sneered in her heart. Was he trying to take advantage of the situation to throw dirty water on her? But how could she have ever been afraid of such slander on her reputation?
