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?!"

The commotion outside the palace was so big that Lady Qiao could not pretend that she did not know anything.


Lu Chen only assured Lady Qiao and advised her, “Changing the law will affect the interests of too many people. Moreover, those scholars have been studying Confucianism since they were young, and the hen’s nest is already deeply ingrained.


“After the results of the law are out, the officials and the people will see that the law is effective, and they will naturally be able to improve.


They looked down on women, but not all of them had bad intentions. People like Hong Yang and Lin Xiang all felt that they would harm civilian women, that women were helpless and could not do business.”


Qiao jinniang said, “I understand this logic, but I am now the empress. They are calling me the demon empress and calling me heartless. I can not ignore the people’s will. I want to go out of the palace to send Miss Li off. At least I have a clear conscience!”
