Traveling to ancient times to sweep the catering industry

"You have been staying in the capital, aren't you afraid that those concubines in the courtyard will seduce your son-in-law away?"

The old lady was very skeptical about this.

After all, Qi Shuo was so attractive that even though he was almost thirty years old, he was still very charming.

Those concubines are not as reserved as the young ladies from aristocratic families. They are very reckless. Old Madam Cheng is afraid that Cheng Wenwen will lose her husband's favor and will have a hard time if she goes back, so she wants to persuade her to go back as soon as possible.

"You have been in the capital for a month and have met everyone you should have met. Your homesickness should have faded. Your uncle has been very tolerant of you. You should also be considerate of him. You should pack up and go back early!"

Cheng Wenwen nodded, looking very agreeable, and said, "Grandmother, the general not only asked me to stay in the capital because he felt sorry for me, but also asked me to help him manage some of his businesses in the capital, so I can't go back to Shanzhou for a while."

"Industry?" Old Madam Cheng seemed a little confused.

Cheng Wenwen explained, "Yes, I still have to stay here to deal with some property matters, so I can't go back yet. Actually, the general bought a house in the capital before he left, and he originally asked me to live there, but I'm homesick so I haven't moved in yet. Now that I think about it, it's not a good idea for me to stay in my parents' home after getting married. I'll move there tomorrow!"

"Wenwen, that's not what I meant!" Old Madam Cheng hurriedly explained.

Cheng Wenwen said: "I know grandma is doing this for my own good, but I also want to go to the new house to take a look and make arrangements, so grandma, please let me go!"

Old Madam Cheng looked at her granddaughter and sighed, "You! You just don't like to listen to me. You always like to do things that are hypocritical."

Cheng Wenwen smiled and said, "Grandma, where can I get it?"

Old Madam Cheng glanced at her, feeling a little helpless. She had lived with Cheng Wenwen for so many years, how could she not know her temperament?

Whenever there is a disagreement, she likes to agree on the surface, but then insist on her own opinion behind the scenes.

Old Madam Cheng was also worried that she might do the same thing again and do something insincerely against her will.

"Tell me honestly, what is the relationship between you and your uncle?"

When Cheng Wenwen heard this question, she felt a little nervous and said, "What do you mean? Grandma, we have a very good relationship."

Now, it’s time to let grandmother know that she and Qi Shuo are getting together and separated.

Old Madam Cheng saw that she couldn't get the truth out of Cheng Wenwen, so she had to give up and sighed, "Alright, alright, let's do this! If you want to move out, then move out! But you have to be careful about your safety. Have you bought the servants for the mansion?"

Cheng Wenwen heard that Old Madam Cheng was relieved, so she said, "Everything has been bought, Grandma, you don't have to worry."

Madam Cheng sighed and said, "You are my granddaughter, so I will naturally worry about you. You must tell grandma if there is anything. Grandma can also do something for you."

Cheng Wenwen nodded: “The grandmother I know.”

Although Cheng Wenwen said this, her grandmother was old after all, and there were many things she couldn't do anything about even if she wanted to.

For example, when her second uncle asked her to marry Cheng Jinxiu, her second uncle kept it a secret and asked her grandmother to put the family first. Naturally, she had no way to help herself out of the situation.

Therefore, there are many things that Cheng Wenwen cannot tell her. Even so, she is also grateful that her grandmother treats her well.

"It's getting late. I'm leaving now. Grandma, please go to bed early."

"Go!" Old Madam Cheng waved her hand.

Cheng Wenwen turned and walked out. Old Madam Cheng watched her go away and couldn't help but sigh. Then she asked, "Aying, do you think I am too incompetent? Wenwen is blaming me! She should have married the kid from the Wang family."

Ying's mother advised, "Old Madam, don't think too much. The fourth young lady is a blessed person. Although she married by mistake, the fourth uncle-in-law is a good husband after all."

Madam Cheng asked doubtfully, "But does she like Qi Shuo in her heart? Is she still thinking about the child from the Wang family, so she is a little distant from Qi Shuo and doesn't want to go back with Qi Shuo?"

"This……"

Ying's mother didn't know how to answer. On the surface, it seemed that this was really possible.

"She's not a child who likes to accept her fate!"

Old Madam Cheng sighed again, feeling very worried about her.

"Find an opportunity to ask Mother He to come over, but don't let Wenwen know."

Ying's mother nodded: "Yes!"

……

The next day, Cheng Wenwen started moving her things to the house she bought in Xicheng.

This was a big news, so naturally the people in the mansion couldn't hide it.

The second wife found out and started asking questions.

Madam Cheng Er brought Cheng Jinxiu to Cheng Wenwen's yard and asked, "Wenwen, what are you doing? Are you going back to Shanzhou? Why didn't you tell us in advance so that we could prepare for you?"

Cheng Wenwen smiled and said, "No need, Second Aunt, I'm not going back to Shanzhou."

Cheng Jinxiu asked first: "Where are you going to go if not to Shanzhou?"

Cheng Wenwen explained: "The general bought a house in the capital and said that we would live there when we return to the capital, so I plan to go there and take care of the house."

"Is that so? That son-in-law treats you so well!" Mrs. Cheng's mouth twitched stiffly. She looked at Cheng Jinxiu, feeling a little sour in her heart.

Cheng Jinxiu frowned and asked cautiously, "You don't come back to the capital often, so why buy a house? Is General Qi going to be transferred to the capital?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Cheng asked curiously, "Is that so, Wenwen? What position will you be assigned to when you are transferred to the capital? Did your son-in-law tell you?"

Cheng Wenwen had never expected Cheng Jinxiu to be so thoughtful, so she shook her head and said, "That shouldn't be the case! It's impossible for him to get a good position as a frontier general transferred to the capital!"

Cheng Jinxiu asked, "Then why buy a house? You won't go back to Shanzhou with me. Do you want to live in the capital forever?"

Cheng Wenwen didn't expect Cheng Jinxiu to ask such a tricky question, so she said, "Second sister, don't you want me to live in the capital?"

Cheng Jinxiu snorted awkwardly, then said, "That's not what I meant."

"I know that my second sister will definitely not want me to leave, so I also want to stay in the capital for a while longer."

Cheng Wenwen smiled and said, "No more talking. I still have to sort out my things. I'll chat with my second aunt and second sister when I have time."

"Oh! Okay! You keep it, we'll leave first."

Madam Cheng Er pulled Cheng Jinxiu out of Cheng Wenwen's courtyard, feeling quite sad, and sighed:

"This girl has found a good husband. You said that in Shanzhou, he is the most powerful one among those who live far away. She must have lived a very good life in Shanzhou. Her uncle-in-law did not restrict her. He understood that she was homesick and asked her to live in the capital for a long time. He also bought her a house in the capital. He is very considerate and generous. When he came back to visit us, the gifts he brought us were all excellent. They are much better than those of the Zhao family!"

Cheng Jinxiu listened and felt really unfair.

The Zhao family naturally cannot compare with them. Cousin Zhao is the second son in the family. The family's little property is managed by his eldest brother. He has no money at all, and he has a difficult mother. If he marries into the family, he will inevitably suffer.

It’s really infuriating to think about it! This should have been my wedding!
