The Su family never thought that Su Wan would break the contract at the last minute.
No, they didn't have any agreement at all, not to mention one on paper, they didn't even seem to have said a few words to each other verbally.
It couldn't be that Su Wan had been planning to cheat them from the very beginning?
But what good does this do for Su Wan?
But no matter what, the Su family is now in chaos. Fortunately, with the palace maid Wenqin by her side, no one can get close to Su Wan.
"My son is getting married this month. What on earth are you doing? What if my in-laws find out?"
"My daughter's marriage is next month. Wouldn't it be even more difficult for her to live when his family finds out?"
The first person to go crazy is Second Aunt Su. After she runs the shop, she will definitely give the shop to her son, who is also the only son of the Su family.
As for his daughter's dowry, he had already taken out a hundred or so taels of silver from the money he had mortgaged the shop, with the intention of paying it back after he got his share of the profits.
As for the remaining wife Su, Mr. Su was a little overwhelmed.
They spent more than one thousand taels of silver on this matter!
Su Wan spent so much money to open a shop selling palace desserts, but she told them that there was no baking soda and no palace recipe?
What on earth does she want to do?
The palace maid Wenqin stood next to Su Wan, and Jingju stood next to Su Wan's aunt, and they refused to let them get close.
Finally, Master Su responded: "Are you dissatisfied with the profit? If you have any objections to the profit, we can discuss it again. Why do you have to be so firm?"
"I don't quite understand what you mean." Su Wan said directly, "Baking soda is not easy to come by, and it's not easy to make it."
"If you steal the palace recipes, you will be arrested and sent to the inner prison. How can I agree to let you steal things from the palace to support such a big store?"
"You don't want me to go to jail?"
Mr. Su and others really didn't expect that Su Wan didn't give them any room to turn around.
Even then Aunt Su Wan went out, and it was obvious that she had made up her mind to play a trick on them!
After the four of them left, Su's wife suddenly jumped up and hit the second concubine directly. This slap made everyone a little dizzy.
I only heard Su Zheng's wife say, "It must be because of you. Su Wan must be taking revenge on you for sending her to the palace."
"Your daughter is getting married next month, and Su Wan is already fifteen or sixteen years old this year. She will have to waste two or three years in the palace. Comparing the two, how can I not hate you!"
The Second Aunt was slapped twice and was so angry that she couldn't speak at all, but she vaguely felt that this was the case in her heart.
Otherwise, how do you explain the current situation?
Su Wan must be taking revenge on me for sending her to the palace to replace my daughter.
"She should be grateful to me! She should be grateful to me!"
"If it weren't for me, how could she be a lady-in-waiting and have a place in the palace!"
But it's no use saying anything now.
Su Wan must be persuaded to come back, otherwise the more than one thousand taels will be wasted and the shop will be taken away in three months.
All the efforts during this period were in vain. Not only were all the savings spent, but the last permanent property of the family was also gone.
But this is all part of Su Wan's plan, so how could she stop?
For several days, the Su family never saw Su Wan again. As for Aunt Su, there were several maids protecting her, so no one could get close to her.
These things all show it.
Su Wan would never give baking soda to the store, let alone provide recipes for palace snacks.
If this had made them anxious enough.
Next, the in-laws of the Su family's eldest son and third daughter came to their store and asked them vaguely whether their business was not good and why there were sometimes no customers at all.
He also asked about their family situation, and regret was evident in their words. If the wedding wasn't about to begin, they would have wanted to cancel the engagement.
The other party definitely didn't give them any good face, making the Su family lose face.
However, this did remind Mr. Su to take back part of the silver from his third daughter's dowry.
You can’t make any money now, and you’re still dreaming of having a grand wedding?
Upon seeing this, Su's wife began to withhold the wedding expenses of Su's eldest son on the pretext of saving money.
The Second Aunt was originally a little reluctant to speak up, but seeing this, she immediately dropped her previous affairs and tried her best to fight for the remaining money in the family.
Even the neighbors knew about these farces, and it seemed like everyone knew about them.
Everyone knew that the store opened by the Su family lost more than one thousand taels of silver, and they also knew that because of this, the whole family had to eat coarse food.
It seemed as if all was suddenly in disarray.
In this case, there seems to be only one choice.
That is to threaten Su Wan, using the fact that she stole things from the palace to threaten her!
But how can I threaten someone when I can’t even see him?
Moreover, they were also unsure about the lawsuit. After all, Su Wan was an eighth-rank female official, and the officials would protect each other. Maybe they wouldn't be able to win the lawsuit at all?
This is also very possible.
But were those more than one thousand taels of silver really wasted?
That’s more than one thousand taels!
They only had the savings from selling their shop!
How could Su Wan be so cruel!
Without Su Wan's support, their store's business was extremely bad. Since last year, a trend of making dim sum has emerged in Kyoto, and now each one is more exquisite than the other, with all kinds of dim sum available at all price ranges.
Since there are so many people making dim sum, the prices are not that high, so it is not an exaggeration to say that they are good quality and cheap.
What they could not accept the most was that the official dessert shop actually took the initiative to teach them how to make the cream puffs that they had been dreaming about and the cream puffs with the palace recipe that they wanted Su Wan to get.
We agreed to teach three or four times a year, and the one we’ll teach in April will be butter puff pastry!
That's fine.
One of the teachers was actually Su Wan!
Su Wan, whom they had been looking for for a long time, was actually teaching them the recipe they wanted most in the dessert shop. Judging from her proficiency in the recipe, she must have known it a long time ago, but just didn't give it to them!
In their eyes, Su Wan's actions were undoubtedly a provocation.
The eldest son of the Su family and the fiancée of the third daughter, their fiancée’s family somehow found out that they had actually mortgaged their only shop and had to pay more than a thousand taels in compensation?
Now the family is living off their savings?
This is clearly a sign of ruin!
It’s okay with my third daughter’s fiancé’s family. After all, they are the ones getting married, so they just don’t need to contact them often in the future.
The eldest son’s fiancée’s family has come to the house to show their displeasure.
Their family is getting married! Originally, I thought that both the father and son in this family had jobs, one of the girls was still respectable in the palace, and the family also had a shop to collect rent, so it should be pretty good.
Now what?
Now that my daughter hasn’t even gotten married yet, is she going to be burdened with debt?
Look at that store. Even if you throw money into it, you can hear the noise, right?
What is going on?
The Su family has been at a loss recently, and seeing Su Wan teaching in the dessert shop, they have begun to lose sight of their dignity.
As long as he thought about his family's wedding, the more than one thousand taels of silver, and the shop that was about to be taken away, the people who were mortgaged to the government came to ask, and it was obvious that they were ready to take away the shop.
All this made him unable to calm down.
Just as Mr. Su was about to rush in, he was held up by two people nearby. Instead of letting him cause any trouble, they pushed him in from the back of the dessert shop.
When Mr. Su came to his senses, he saw Su Wan drinking tea in the yard.
"You, how can you be so bold and disobey your biological father? Do you know the consequences?" Master Su jumped up and down.
Su Wan looked down at him, and finally said slowly: "What are the consequences."
"I'm going to sue you! I'm going to sue you at the prefectural governor of Kyoto! You've been stealing the secret item baking soda from the palace for two years. If I sue you, I'm not sure if you can still be a court lady!" Master Su said directly, even straightening his clothes and saying confidently, "It was fine before, but now the palace is investigating this the most strictly. If you find out, you can expect to go to jail!"
After hearing this, Su Wan asked again, "Since you said I was stealing things from the palace, why did you let me continue stealing? Did you steal them for your dim sum shop?"
"What else? As long as you give me more baking soda on time, this will be a family secret, and no one will leak it."
"If you don't give it to me, you'll die!"
"Then aren't you afraid that I'll be caught stealing and go to jail?" Su Wan asked slowly.
Seeing Su Wan breathe a sigh of relief, Master Su thought his threat worked, so he changed his tone and said earnestly, "I know you are a good child, you are cautious in doing things, and you are a palace lady, as long as you are careful, it won't matter."
"Anyway, I've been doing this for the past two years. Now I'm just taking a little more. Don't be afraid. We are a family. As long as you give me something, I will never tell anyone. I will still give you the profit I deserve."
These words made the surrounding palace maids Wenqin, Zhou Zhao and Chai Huan feel quite disgusted.
He knew that his daughter's life would be in danger by doing this, but he still forced her to do it, and threatened to report her to the police if she refused.
Didn't you get any benefit from the help they gave you when they helped you get that item? Didn't you make money from it?
A pinch of kindness can turn into a grudge.
How greedy!
Knowing that it was an extremely dangerous thing, he still forced his daughter to do it, and said that she would die if she didn't do it?
Hearing the noise, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and the Chief Justice's father, the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion, came over. They had been invited to the second floor of the dessert shop to taste the food. The second floor had not been open before, and this time they were going to slowly entertain the guests. There were already palace maids who had left the palace working here.
When the three heard the noise, they naturally came over to take a look.
I didn't expect to see this scene.
And it’s related to the palace and it’s also stealing?
But these are trivial matters. Instead, it is the words of the father in front of him that really make people frown.
When I looked again, I realized that this was the little palace maid Su Wan in the palace. It wasn't that her position was a little palace maid, but she was young, so everyone subconsciously called her that.
She had just been teaching others how to make puff pastry in great detail, so how could she have encountered something like this?
I have seen her when walking around the palace on weekdays. She is a girl praised by the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Rites.
After thinking about it for a while, the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion and others roughly understood what was going on.
But Su Wan was in trouble this time. The three of them were all there, and she couldn't pretend she didn't know.
Or just pretend you didn't see it and leave?
Anyway, she has already rejected her father and said it so decisively. However, this matter still needs to be reported to the head of the Imperial Food Bureau to see how he will punish her.
Just as the three were about to leave, Su Wan asked in surprise, "Mr. Shangshu, Mr. Temple Minister, Grand Secretary, did you hear all of this?"
After Su Wan called out a series of names, it was Master Su who was confused first.
What?
Was everyone heard?
He was stunned for a moment, then immediately said: "It's all her, she was the one who stole things from the palace, it has nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with the Su family."
"Today I will sever my father-daughter relationship with her!"
Since he can say this fluently, it must not be achieved in a day.
Master Su had already made up his mind that when the baking soda matter was discovered, he would put the entire blame on Su Wan. Since she was just a concubine's daughter, he would simply sever the father-daughter relationship and pretend that she knew nothing.
The three adults were helpless when they heard this.
The owner of the dessert shop also came out. She was the nanny of the dessert department. She looked at the situation and felt something was wrong. She subconsciously defended Su Wan: "What are you collecting? What are you stealing? What do you mean it doesn't matter? Who are you?"
"Reporting to the adults."
"My little daughter Su Wan stole food ingredients from the palace, but I didn't know about it before. This time I came to find her to persuade her to turn back from her wrong path, but I didn't expect her to be so stubborn and not listen at all."
"So I plan to sever the father-daughter relationship for the sake of justice. Please don't implicate my family."
Su Wan heard this and said, "What about my aunt?"
"Your aunt? Your aunt raised a traitor like you, so of course she should be pawned off!" Mr. Su said anxiously, afraid that Su Wan would say something more, and also afraid to have anything to do with her.
He came here today originally to threaten Su Wan, but seeing that her attitude was so bad and that the high officials happened to hear about Su Wan's theft, it would be better for him to clear himself of the matter.
But as soon as the curse came out, Wen Qin, the little slapping master, immediately went up and slapped him on the mouth several times, obviously to make him shut up.
Su Wan saw that he was lazy on weekdays, but he was faster than anyone else when it came to pushing the pot.
It turns out that being anxious can bring out one's potential.
But she still had to speak up to help Master Su continue his performance: "Are you really going to disregard blood ties and kick me and my aunt out of the house?"
"What else? Since you stole the palace's property, you will naturally be unacceptable to the Su family! From now on, you and your aunt are no longer members of the Su family!"
Everyone present could tell that Mr. Su was anxious to distance himself from the matter as he had failed to gain any benefits.
He kept saying stealing, and the three adults could not pretend to be deaf and dumb. So they asked, "What did you steal from the palace? Do you have any evidence?"
"Yes, yes, it's baking soda, the secret item in the palace, baking soda!" Master Su was anxious after being beaten.
He felt sad about the more than one thousand taels that were wasted, but he also felt that if he didn't clean it up now, he would definitely be implicated, so naturally he said everything.
Everything happened so fast that he didn't have time to think.
"I originally planned to go to Kyoto Prefecture to expose it, but I didn't expect to meet you gentlemen. I hope you will take a closer look."
baking soda?
What is this?
Not to mention that the three adults didn't understand, even the nanny from the Dessert Department didn't understand.
Master Su said, "It's the baking soda that is used to make delicious cakes. It's only available in the palace and is very valuable, but she stole a lot of it."
Baking soda that makes delicious cakes?
Everyone subconsciously looked at Nanny Si, who was in charge of desserts. Nanny was even more confused as to what that thing was.
She had been in the palace for decades and had never heard of this thing.
She had never even heard of it, so how could she begin?
"That's it." Mr. Su quickly took out the small bottle from his body. It was the little bit of baking soda that Su Wan gave him last time. Naturally, it was extremely precious to him and he carried it with him wherever he went.
But no matter how the sweets maid looked at it or smelled it, she said, "I have never seen this thing in the palace."
"Of course there is nothing. This thing is unique to the palace. When added to cakes, they will become extra fluffy and delicious. Su Wan must have stolen it!" Master Su suddenly realized, "You are all from the Imperial Food Department. You must be in cahoots with each other! You want to protect her!"
The look in Su Wan's eyes when she looked at him had turned into one of pity.
At this moment, everyone was watching, and Su Wan slowly said: "So this is what you mean by stealing."
"When did I ever say that baking soda was stolen?"
"You actually blackmailed me because of this matter and forced me to continue stealing?"
Without waiting for Master Su to speak, Su Wan said directly to the three adults and the nanny, "This thing is indeed called baking soda. It is a condiment that I carefully developed. It has a similar effect to yeast. I developed it a long time ago, but its performance has always been unstable."
"I have made some progress recently. I have submitted the production method to the commander, which can prove that this thing was made by me and not stolen."
"So there is no way to talk about stealing the palace's property."
"I didn't expect my family to think I was a thief and falsely accuse me, and even kick me and my aunt out of the house."
"In this case, I have no choice but to admit it."
"I entered the palace at the age of twelve because my father didn't like me. But I didn't expect my father to slander his daughter like this. You really have a cruel heart."
"From now on, my aunt and I will move out of the Su family immediately. Please keep your promise, Master Su, and sever the father-daughter relationship and the relationship between my aunt and the Su family!"
After saying this, Master Su was no longer able to think straight.
The three adults thought about it for a while and sorted out what happened.
Mr. Su thought that his daughter stole items from the palace for their family's use, but he knew that not only did she not remember it, but she used it to threaten Su Wan.
Even after the accident, when the three of them heard about it, their first reaction was not to defend their daughter, but to pass the buck and put the entire thing on their daughter.
Who knew that this thing was not stolen by Su Wan at all, but belonged to someone else. He developed it himself and gave it to you. Not only are you not satisfied, but you push the person away when you encounter trouble, and you also want to sever the father-daughter relationship?
This matter would be despised no matter which dynasty it happened in.
Even a tiger does not eat its own cubs. This man is really cruel. He just wants to discard the aunt who gave birth to his children. He is really heartless and ungrateful.
The person who sent his 12-year-old daughter to the palace really has no conscience. Judging from his clothes, he doesn't look like a family that can't afford to eat. Is he still a human being if he sends his young daughter to the palace under such circumstances?
Although there are still many things to deal with next.
But the dust has basically settled.
Only Master Su was fooled. When Zhou Zhaozhuohui wrote the severance letter as he asked, he still didn't react to what was happening.
Isn’t baking soda from the palace?
Is it Su Wan’s?
But why did she say before that it was something from the palace?
Wait, she never said this before. When she said "things in the palace", she was always referring to the palace dessert recipes.
So the baking soda has always belonged to Su Wan and was not stolen at all.
So he just made a false accusation?
Or is it a false accusation in front of several high-ranking officials?
It's one thing to falsely accuse others, but this is your own daughter, which is obviously worse.
Mainly during this period, Mr. Su was very nervous, and it had been like this since he first opened the store. The hush money from Qingfeng Tower and various subsequent expenses made his investment bigger and bigger, and naturally his hopes also grew bigger and bigger.
From the first month of the year to now, April, the Su family's daily topic is opening a store, and asking Su Wan how to get more baking soda so that they can make a lot of money.
Also think about how to get out if something goes wrong.
But no one expected that after they invested all their fortune, Su Wan would change her mind.
You have to know that all of Mr. Su’s family fortune and the jewelry of his wife and second concubine were invested in it.
How can you not be anxious when you find out that everything might go down the drain?
Now he saw Su Wan, attracting everyone's attention in the dessert shop as if nothing had happened, and she was still teaching him how to make the cream puff that he had been craving for.
How could Master Su still have any sense left? The calmer Su Wan was, the angrier he became, and the more irrational he became.
I feel like I'm always being fooled. How can I not be angry?
When the high-ranking official appeared, he had no time to think. Su Wan pushed him into a desperate situation with just a few words, and he said everything he needed to say.
Mr. Su didn't regret it at all. Since he was asked to pay money and do something bad, then they should die together!
Let's see who is at a greater disadvantage! I want Su Wan to never be so respectable again!
Things just developed very quickly, and Su Wan did it on purpose so that Mr. Su would think less and act more on instinct.
After all, we have laid so much groundwork and we have to reap the fruits of our labor.
Now that she had the fruit in her hands, she felt very relieved. She got the letter of severance from the Su family, found a middleman to testify, and had the support of the nanny from the dessert shop.
Finally, all of the Second Aunt's things were neatly packed up, and Su Wan could take her people out of the Su family.
When leaving, he did not forget to take away Jing Ju's indenture contract, which was naturally paid for with silver. Before, the Su family might not have been willing to give it up, but since they had just paid more than a thousand taels in compensation, there was no reason for them to despise the silver.
For them, every ounce of silver is precious now.
After going through so much trouble, they lost both the wife and the army. There was nothing they could do about it. It was their own fault for being too greedy.
If someone wants to push Su Wan to take the blame, then it is Su Wan. If it were someone else, they would have been tortured to death long ago.
But why cut off?
How did it happen so suddenly?
Also, what about the claim that Mr. Su made a false accusation?
When the Su family saw Su Wan was about to leave, they were actually very confused.
They all knew what had happened. They only knew that now that the money was gone, the shop would be taken back. Even if it wasn't taken back, the shop was still losing money and keeping it would be a bloodsucking business.
Finally, Master Su seemed to understand something and stood up immediately: "It's all a plan. Is this your purpose?"
Others were even more confused. Su Wan stopped and whispered something in Master Su's ear.
Mr. Su immediately calmed down, with anger in his eyes, but he didn't dare to say a word.
Su Wan smiled and said, "Since you and I have severed our father-daughter relationship, there is no need to try to establish a relationship with us in the future. Otherwise, today will only be a trivial matter. Do you understand?"
Mr. Su naturally understood and knew it.
Su Wan just opened her mouth and drove the entire Su family crazy, causing a direct loss of more than a thousand taels of silver, and both the father and son lost their jobs.
What is this?
If she really made up her mind, would this be the result?
Moreover, she never told the truth about the baking soda from beginning to end and kept it secret for more than two years. Even the owner of Qingfeng Tower thought she stole it. In fact, the bomb had been planted long ago.
Mr. Su felt a chill run down his spine, and when he thought about what she had just whispered, he didn't dare confront Su Wan again.
I sent my aunt back to the backyard of the fried food shop. It was obvious that the place had been cleaned up long ago, just waiting for the owner to move in.
Su Wan also rented the yard next door and connected the two yards to make it convenient for other employees of the fried food shop to live in. Jing Ju had already gone to put her luggage.
When Su Wan and Aunt Su Wan were the only ones left in the room, Aunt Su Wan asked, "What did you tell him just now? Why is he so scared?"
Su Wan smiled: "Nothing, just remind him that the 800 taels of hush money from Qingfeng Tower can be returned."
But even if the eight hundred taels are taken back, it is still not enough to redeem the shop. After three months, Su Wan will take the shop into her own hands.
Taking control of the shop is equivalent to holding the lifeline of the Su family. If you don't want to lose the last bit of things, you have to be honest.
If you're not honest, today's just an appetizer.
Su Wan is used to cutting the Gordian knot.
Moreover, this incident also told Master Su that there are many ways to punish him. If he feels that this incident is not enough, there are many more things waiting for him.
If you don't want Su Wan to do anything extreme, then don't bother her.
Su Wan finally looked at her aunt's indenture and said, "I'll have someone help you change your household registration in a while. Generally, a slave contract is changed to a civilian status. Either you attach proof of your status, or you work for two years to become a commoner."
"You have one and a half stores, which is proof enough of your existence."
Aunt Gui could never have imagined that one day she would be able to transform from a slave into an ordinary person.
So many things happened that day that she couldn't react at all.
Although the Su family has been in chaos since some time ago, they used to have one quarrel a day, but now they have three quarrels a day.
They quarreled over money, over the two weddings, and even the in-laws came to quarrel. There was no lively feeling of a wedding at all.
Who would have thought that after all the trouble they put in, they would end up involving the only remaining shop in their family?
But no one can be blamed for this. It's because they are so greedy that they must keep their eyes on the power and things in Su Wan's hands.
If you don't do what they want, they will threaten to report you to the police.
In the end, Su Wan saw that they were hesitant and did not dare to report to the police, so she helped them report it in front of the three adults.
The subsequent process naturally followed Su Wan's idea.
Of course, she couldn't ask her aunt to break off relations with the family. It had to be Master Su who spoke first. Then it wouldn't be their fault.
Master Su is heartless and ungrateful. He gets angry when he can't get any benefits and pushes people away when encountering problems.
Within half a day, just as he got his aunt, no, now it's Gui Niang, his wife's new identity contract, the news of the Su family had already spread around his home.
The process is so bizarre that people can't help but laugh.
Mr. Su is really funny. He gave him the wonderful things made by his own daughter to use for two years, but he still suspected that they were stolen.
He thought it was stolen and didn't try to stop him, instead using it to threaten his daughter.
Seeing that things were "falling into disgrace", he hastily severed ties with his daughter and aunt.
But in the end, it turned out that the things were made by my daughter herself and there was no stealing at all.
It's really funny.
Also, no wonder the date cakes and peach pastries he made before suddenly tasted so good. It turned out that it was his daughter's secret guidance that helped him improve his cooking skills.
She is not grateful at all and even threatens her to "steal" more. How funny.
Think about it, his family opened a new shop, and he also wanted to use the things his daughter stole?
His daughter was sent to the palace to work when she was just over twelve years old, and her family had never taken care of her. Now that the little girl has finally made a name for herself, his family wants to take advantage of her.
I've never seen a family like this, severing ties at the slightest provocation.
Fortunately, the little girl was strong-willed and was able to cheer up even after being cut off from her relationship with her. She took her aunt and left in a decisive manner.
The world is so big, there is always a place for you.
I will have nothing to do with this family anymore.
It’s not that she is unfilial, it’s just that she and her aunt were kicked out of the house, so what else is there to say.
This version of the story is the most widely circulated, and it is also the side that Su Wan deliberately lets people see.
After hearing these rumors, Gui Niang finally felt relieved. As long as the rumors did not harm her daughter, it didn't matter what happened to her.
But she didn't expect that her daughter would ask her if she wanted to leave at the beginning of the year.
No one mentioned this matter after that. I didn’t expect that he really left, and left so neatly.
Even if the Su family shamelessly comes to them again in the future, they can refuse them on the grounds that the Su family was heartless in the past.
Anyway, in the minds of outsiders, the mother and daughter are very pitiful and were driven out.
This is indeed the case.
They were indeed driven out.
In fact, compared with the affairs of all sizes in the palace, this matter is not a big deal and Su Wan can handle it easily.
But it was the thing that she was most careful about and took the longest time to do.
Not only does it have to be done, but also Gui Niang's reputation has to be taken into consideration. It would be best if she could be hidden in this story, and the only people in conflict are her and Master Su.
My aunt was just implicated.
Now that it’s finally done, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
She was not so cautious when she gave suggestions to Xie Pei on important state affairs.
Now that Gui Niang has regained her freedom, she has also separated from the Su family and is now warned of this incident.
I believe that no one will be so blind as to come looking for it.
Even if the Su family realizes it later, what can they do?
If you want to fight with her, you should also consider your own abilities.
Su Wan and Gui Niang’s household registration was also re-registered in the past two days.
The head of the household is Meng Gui, Su Wan's mother, and Su Wan is under her name.
Although there are not many women who are heads of households, there are still prior laws to follow if you look at the laws of Tianxiang Country. There is no need for the local head of the village to check, as Su Wan's people have already listed the laws to prove that this is feasible.
Then half of the ownership of the fried food shop and spicy hot pot restaurant was transferred to Meng Gui. Not only did the two of them have new household registrations, they also had properties under their names.
From then on, they set up their own household.
Because I had been prepared in advance, it was not surprising to get the new household registration.
As for the Su family, I heard that even the third lady's fiancé's family came to find out about the replacement into the palace that year.
You want to cancel the engagement now, but you're getting married next month. If you don't cancel it, the Su family's style is really not commendable.
Anyway, it looks like a mess.
Su Wan had a good impression of the third girl before, but needless to say, what happened afterwards was beyond her consideration when she chose to share the benefits with her.
The matter was settled, but Gui Niang obviously hadn't reacted yet. Su Wan said, "Summer is coming soon, and such a big thing has happened recently. I want to take you to Yuhua Palace to relax. What do you think?"
"Although you and Jing Ju cannot live in the palace, you can be arranged to stay in a nearby farmer's home."
Gui Niang said, "Forget it. You are going to Yuhua Palace to do something. I will just follow you for no reason."
"But I was away right after the matter was settled, and I was afraid that those people would do something desperate." Su Wan said, "It's a good opportunity to go there to avoid the heat and the limelight. When I come back in a few months, they will have calmed down."
Su Wan doesn't buy a house now, one reason is that she really has no money, and two, it's not easy to show off her wealth.
For a fried food shop like this, no one knows who the real owner is unless people can see the contract. If you buy the house now, the Su family will definitely come and cause trouble.
It would be better to go out and hide for a few months, and then buy a property nearby when you come back, so that you will have a place to settle down in the future.
Gui Niang thought for a moment and felt that what her daughter said was right. Jing Ju naturally had no objection, and it would be a good thing to be able to close the store and rest for a while.
In addition to Su Wan, who planned this matter, there was also Master Su who was the first to react.
The person who knows best that this is no coincidence is Jingju.
At that time, Jing Ju didn't understand why the fourth lady asked her to spread those words. Now that she thinks about it carefully, things in the Su family had quietly changed at that time.
And it can't be said that it was the fourth girl's fault at all. She just took advantage of the personalities of everyone in the Su family and made them fight and compete among themselves.
She is not enough to hold the carrot in front. People behind can grab it if they want to, or leave if they want to. It has nothing to do with her.
Thinking of this, Jing Ju has decided that she must be loyal to Su Wan and Gui Niang for the rest of her life, otherwise she would die without knowing how she died.
Besides, she also understood that the fourth girl was not a harsh person. She would not offend others unless they offended her.
If the Su family had not intended to make her sacrifice and had not cared about her safety at all, the fourth girl would not have done this.
However, Jing Ju was also happy to be able to leave the Su family.
Not to mention anything else, didn’t you see how envious the doorman was? The Su family was in such a bad shape but still had servants.
If nothing unexpected happens, the gatehouse will be sold later, and who knows where it will be sold to.
Needless to say, Su Wan had taken care of all the follow-up matters clearly. Gui Niang and Jing Ju only had to pack their things and wait to set off in mid-May.
This year we actually went there a while earlier. In previous years, the journey was always very hot, so we prepared in advance this year.
When Su Wan was working in the palace, the two marriages of the Su family were finally arranged.
The time between engagements is too short, and it would not be a good idea to cancel the engagement at the last minute.
But looking at the shabby wedding and the shabby dowry, you know that the future will not be too good.
Su Wan was not interested in these. She only knew that their family was still struggling to run the shop. It would be impossible for them to go back to Qingfeng Tower anyway, and no one would want them if they went anywhere else.
If the baking soda incident had not been exposed, he would probably have invited the two pastry chefs to work for him because of their craftsmanship. But now that he knows that it was his daughter who developed the ingredients that made the pastries taste better, he naturally won't invite them.
However, the Su family went to Qingfeng Tower to ask for money every day.
Those eight hundred taels of silver are hush money!
Now I know that I don’t need to pay the money at all. Since we have already fallen out, I must get the money back!
The new daughter-in-law of the Su family cried several times as soon as she entered the house, as if she felt ashamed. The eldest daughter of Su's wife also came back and said that her husband's family was very dissatisfied. His family was scholars, and yet such a scandal had happened to his in-laws.
The house is a mess anyway.
On the other hand, Gui Niang and Jing Ju are very harmonious.
The two of them lived in the backyard of the fried food shop. They could chat with Wei Niang next door on weekdays. Sometimes they would sell things early and go for a stroll on the street. Their lives were much more relaxed.
You don't have to stay in the yard when you get home, and you don't have to listen to the quarrels over there. This way, you can even sleep much more peacefully.
By May, all arrangements in the palace had been made and everything was in perfect order.
The carriage arranged by Su Wan can also set off.
Xie Pei had not finished the work at hand yet, so he moved all of it to Yuhua Palace.
In May, the temperature gradually increased and the ministers were waiting to escape the heat. When they heard the order from above, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
There was no way. Everyone was worried that given His Majesty's diligence, it would take a long time before he was willing to go to the palace.
Your Majesty has been on the throne for a few months, but the amount of government affairs he has handled is equivalent to that of Emperor Huaizong in several years.
Although there were some accumulated before, the comparison shows that the level of diligence is eye-catching.
Your Majesty is diligent and quick in his work, and naturally the subordinates will follow suit. Even the memorials are written in a much more concise manner, for fear of wasting Your Majesty's time.
There are benefits to doing this.
The huge, rusty machine finally started to move slowly. Although it jammed frequently, some people had already noticed it and were already repairing it bit by bit.
After packing up their luggage, the convoy set off in the cool morning.
Naturally, someone made arrangements for Gui Niang, so Su Wan didn't even have to worry about it. They traveled light and moved faster than the palace's team.
However, the palace's team was not that bloated. It was a journey that only took two days by fast horse, but it used to take ten to twenty days to get there.
But the situation is different this year, and we went there in several batches.
Those who can ride horses go first, such as His Majesty and others, and those who cannot ride horses go slowly in carriages in batches. There are not so many people in the convoy, so the speed is faster.
Su Wan originally followed the Ministry of Rites, but finally rode a horse to follow Xie Pei's team.
Looking around, since everyone here with Xie Pei is one of us, it's no big deal.
Xie Pei said: "I heard from the guards that you wanted to learn horse riding, but you have been very busy recently.
