She knew that without Jiang Chuwei's help, it would be very difficult for her to take over the Xu family's pastry business.
And now, this is a good start.
Her mother wants her to get a divorce; what should her daughter do?
A divorced woman who wants to take her child with her can only do so if the Xu family doesn't want their daughter.
However, having lived with Xu Qing for so many years, she knew that Xu Qing would definitely not let her take her daughter away in order to keep her tied to him.
Yan Yunyao cannot live without her daughter.
Let's just wait it out together!
After Yan Yunyao left, Jiang Chuwei sent someone to inform Lord Xu about terminating the contract.
The next day, Lord Xu was furious when he learned of this, but he was helpless.
Looking at her furious husband, Yan Yunyao feigned concern: "Husband! You work in the Ministry of Revenue, so it's better to cancel this business deal!"
Xu Qing was extremely annoyed: "You're really all talk and no action. Do you think that if we close this business, my salary alone can support this whole family?"
Yan Yunyao wasn't annoyed: "How about I give it a try, since I have some connections with the Princess!"
"You!" Xu Qing scoffed. Yan Yunyao was bullied by her mother and his concubine at home, yet she dared to brazenly do business.
"Do you have a better way?" Yan Yunyao wasn't in a hurry.
"Then, why don't you give it a try?" Xu Qing thought for a moment.
The recipes for these pastries are hers.
I believe she also wants to continue this business.
"Okay!" Yan Yunyao saw that he had taken the bait and stopped talking.
Xu Qing always felt that Yan Yunyao was a little different, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Yan Yunyao turned around, her smile completely gone.
Xu Qing was in such a hurry because he had embezzled a large sum of money from the Ministry of Revenue.
They were hoping to make some money from these pastries to cover their losses.
He has also been carrying heavy loads during this period.
Nothing went right; even a trip to the casino resulted in a loss of tens of thousands of taels of silver.
The casino staff threatened to report his gambling to the imperial court if he didn't pay his debts on time.
Xu Qing was almost scared to death.
This is truly a case of "if you don't court death, you won't die!"
Meanwhile, Yan Yunyao pretended to seek out Jiang Chuwei.
When she returned, she told Xu Qing, "Husband! The princess has agreed to continue using our family's pastries."
"Is that really true?" Xu Qing asked in surprise.
Yan Yunyao went to find Jiang Chuwei, because he didn't believe things could work out.
Xu Qing was surprised that it actually worked.
He also re-evaluated his wife.
"But the princess has a condition?" Yan Yunyao asked.
"What are the conditions?"
"She said she would only do business with me from now on."
"What? Isn't this ridiculous?"
Xu Qing said angrily.
"Does my husband think I'm being unreasonable, or does he think the Princess is being unreasonable?" Yan Yunyao asked coldly.
"Can you go out and do business in public?" Xu Qing asked.
"The princess is far more noble than I am, a mere fifth-rank lady! She can show her face in public, so why can't I?"
