Yuzu In May

Qiao Jinniang's parents passed away the moment she came of age.

For the sake of inheriting a restaurant, she had no choice but to ‘recruit’ a husband who would take her family name.

Who knew that her husband, who looked like a banished immortal, was an ingrate? He snatched her child away and left behind a divorce letter.

Qiao Jinniang became the butt of every joke in Lin’an City. Seeing that her uncle was about to take her parents' blood, sweat, and tears for himself, the son of the Prefect of the Superior Prefecture wanted to take her in as a concubine.

However, a horse carriage sent from the Marquis arrived in Chang'an City. An old lady servant clad in an embroidered robe walked up to her and called her "Young Miss".

It was only then that Qiao Jinniang realized that she was the eldest daughter of the principal wife of Marquis Anyuan. Back then, when the marchioness gave birth to her, she encountered a robber. At that time, a jealous concubine switched out her daughter with the chef's daughter.

Therefore, a divorced female chef who had already given birth entered the capital. Everyone was waiting to see this real heiress make a fool of herself.

They were secretly guessing when the real heiress would be abandoned by the Marquis.

Yet, they failed to expect Qiao Jinniang to open up a restaurant in Chang'an using her amazing culinary skills. Even His Majesty showered her with praise. She was pampered by everyone in the Marquis' residence.

Those long-tongued women in Chang'an City said sourly, "So what if a woman gets pampered at home? She's long past the age of 18 and has already given birth. Who will marry her?"

The Marquis found Qiao Jinniang quite a few husbands. However, despite many marriages being in discussion, none of them went smoothly. 

As the marchioness's face was covered in tears, the fake daughter said she wanted to give Qiao Jinniang her husband instead.

Qiao Jinniang took the rolling pin and kicked open the Eastern Palace's main door. "Since you've already divorced me, why are you still ruining my marriage?"

A certain crown prince said, "How can we let the mother of the royal grandson marry someone else?!"

Becoming The Real Rich Daughter After Divorce

Henyee

In the summer, the kitchen was quite hot, and the cooks in the Duke Mansion were curious to see Qiao Jinniang coming in.

But they knew that she was the most favored miss in the mansion, so they dared not say anything other than fawning on her.

It was almost evening, and people usually had no appetite on a summer night, so Qiao Jinniang planned to cook some appetizing food to cool off the heat.

After being busy for about half an hour, Qiao Jinniang followed the maids to bring out the dishes one by one.

Duke Anyuan ordered the servants to pack these dishes into a food box.

Qiao Jinniang asked, "You are not eating them, Father?"

Duke Anyuan said, "It was His Majesty who ordered you to cook. I'm going to the Imperial Palace to offer your dishes. Would you like to go together?"

Qiao Jinniang shook her head. She had been to the East Palace, and she felt suffocated there.

She was absolutely reluctant to go to the Imperial Palace.
