Yan Yunyao dared not anger her husband even more.
Now, three years after marrying into the Xu family, she has only given birth to one daughter.
Yan Yunyao's life was even more difficult.
It seemed he was about to follow in his mother's footsteps and be bullied by the concubine.
Yan Yunyao suddenly awakened.
She had thought a lot since Xu Sanmei left.
She knew that her weakness was the reason for her predicament in the Xu family.
Now, Mother has driven Aunt Liu out of the house.
Seeing that his mother had become more assertive, the father no longer dared to openly favor his concubine over his wife.
Although the Yongning Marquis's mansion continues to bring in new women, Madam Yan no longer cares.
She didn't bother with those concubines as long as they didn't dance in front of her.
"Sister! Have you thought it through?" Xu Shanmei asked.
"Um!"
"What have you decided?" Jiang Chuwei asked as she entered with a smile.
Over time, Yan Yunyao and the princess have become acquainted.
Although we had crossed paths before, we had never had a deep conversation.
Yan Yunyao liked coming to the charity hall because she also enjoyed interacting with the princess.
The princess was very approachable.
She was so worried about these women.
I chat with them, encourage them to rebuild their confidence, and even embroider with them.
The princess's companionship played a significant role in enabling these women to recover so quickly.
Yan Yunyao blushed.
She felt so ashamed of her life that she was embarrassed to even mention it to the princess.
"The young mistress said she wants to live a good life now." Seeing that she was too embarrassed to say it, Mingzhu said it for her.
However, his mouth was stuffed up like a squirrel's, making it look quite comical, and his voice was muffled.
"Eat slowly!" Jiang Chuwei said indulgently.
"Delicious!" Mingzhu nodded repeatedly.
It made everyone in the room laugh.
Yan Yunyao said, "Your Highness, I have something to say to you."
Jiang Chuwei thought for a moment and said, "Come with me."
Jiang Chuwei knew that she must have encountered some difficulties.
She'll lend a hand whenever she can.
Princess Qingning always complained to her about how weak her cousin was.
I don't know what happened today.
After the two were seated, Jiang Chuwei asked, "What is it? Tell me!"
Yan Yunyao could no longer bring herself to say it.
"Your Highness should know about my time in the Xu family, right?" Yan Yunyao asked.
Jiang Chuwei didn't hide anything: "Yes, I've heard of it."
Although it's not good to pry into other people's family affairs, Princess Qingning always said to her with disappointment that her cousin was not very bright, and that such a good family background was being bullied by a lady of a marquis's family.
Madam Yan also lamented that her daughter had not met a good man.
Madam Yan wanted her daughter to divorce.
However, Yan Yunyao did not have the courage.
Could it be that she wants to ask about divorce today?
Jiang Chuwei thought.
After all, she had been divorced.
Are they here to seek Buddhist scriptures?
Jiang Chuwei awaited her response.
"May I continue running the Xu family's pastry business in the future?" Yan Yunyao asked.
Jiang Chuwei was surprised.
The Xu family's pastries taste very good and sell very well in Beijing.
She and the Xu family had once signed an agreement that the Xu family would be responsible for supplying pastries to the restaurants under Jiang Chuwei's name.
This is a very big business deal.
Jiang Chuwei now owns twelve restaurants, most of which are located in good locations.
The restaurants are doing very well.
Because of their collaboration with Jiang Chuwei, the Xu family has made a considerable fortune every year.
However, she now does intend to end her cooperation with the Xu family.
There are indeed issues with the character of many members of the Xu family.
Most importantly, Jiang Chuwei did not want her restaurant to become overly dependent on the Xu family.
There are plenty of pastry shops in Beijing, so it's not a bad idea to try something different.
"Sure," Jiang Chuwei answered readily, "but I have a few conditions."
Yan Yunyao looked up in surprise. She had thought Jiang Chuwei would refuse outright, but it turned out there was still room for negotiation.
"First, I need you to provide higher quality pastries and guarantee consistent quality; second, the price needs to be lowered; third, I hope to have more choices, not just limited to Xu's pastries," Jiang Chuwei said calmly.
Yan Yunyao bit her lip, thought for a moment, and then nodded in agreement: "Okay, I will develop more flavors."
“You…” Jiang Chuwei was surprised.
“Yes, I made all the flavors for the Xu family’s pastry shop,” Yan Yunyao said.
"It's wonderful that you have such good skills."
Over the years, many customers have come to the restaurant specifically for the complimentary pastries served with their meals.
These flavors are not available elsewhere; they are exclusively supplied to restaurants.
Jiang Chuwei also asked Donghua to make several other flavors, which were liked by half of the customers.
Jiang Chuwei never had the heart to cut off the Xu family's pastry business.
Because of Princess Qingning, after learning more about the Xu family, Jiang Chuwei was no longer willing to cooperate with people of bad character.
Seeing that Yan Yunyao wants to do it herself, let's give her a hand!
"But I still need the Princess's help," Yan Yunyao said, a little embarrassed.
How can I help?
"You should cut off all business ties with the Xu family first, and then the Princess and I will talk," Yan Yunyao said, revealing her thoughts.
Jiang Chuwei thought for a moment: "You want to do it by yourself?"
"yes."
"Very well! I will send someone to terminate the contract with Lord Xu tomorrow."
Jiang Chuwei stood up with a smile: "Then I'll wait for your good news."
Yan Yunyao glanced at Jiang Chuwei gratefully, secretly relieved.
