id that hundred-year ginseng slices are already useless…”

Qiao Jinniang said, “Ruoyi, wait a minute.
Nuomi, go get my millennium ginseng.
When I was in Lin’an, I happened to buy a single millennium ginseng root from an oriental merchant.
Ruoyi, take and use it first.”

Qiao Ruoshui’s eyes widened.
“Are you crazy? Why don’t you instead present the millennium ginseng to Mother, rather than waste it on a little concubine?!”

Qiao Jinniang said, “I only know that ginseng is a medicine, and medicine is used to save lives.
Even if it’s a beggar on the road, I’ll save him, let alone Ruoyi’s biological mother!”

Qiao Ruoyi’s eyes were full of gratitude.

After Qiao Ruoyi took the ginseng slices and left, Qiao Ruoshui left in a huff too.

The Duchess asked Qiao Jinniang, “Jinniang, I never asked you how much money you have.

“According to Mammy An, you could hardly keep your restaurant in Lin’an, but the gifts you gave to your sisters and brothers and today’s ginseng are all very expensive…”

Qiao Jinniang didn’t hide it from the Duchess.
“I only had the Myriad Taste that my foster parents left me to start with.

“After they died, the jerk took over the restaurant, and he was very good at managing it, so we made a lot more money and bought two more shops.

“Then we began to do business with oriental merchants and made a fortune.
After that, we opened a jewelry shop.

“As we made more and more money, we bought a whole street in Lin’an last year to collect rentals.

“I’m afraid that the members of the Qiao family and the local government covet my wealth, so I keep these businesses a secret, so not many people know that I own these shops.

“In total, I have an income of about 30,000 taels of silver every month.”

The Duchess gasped in shock.
The monthly income of the entire Duke Mansion was only about 30,000 taels.

And Duke Anyuan’s Mansion was already one of the richest families in Chang’an.

She never knew that Qiao Jinniang was so rich.

“Those shops were previously managed by that jerk.”

Although Jinniang hated him, she had to admit that his talent for making money was excellent.

The Duchess thought so too, but no matter how good he was at making money, a man who dumped his wife and took their son away from his wife was still a jerk!

The spring hunt was just around the corner, and the Duchess was busy directing the maids and servants to pack.

Only then did Qiao Jinniang know that the spring hunt would be in the paddock of the North Mountain Palace, and most aristocratic families had manors around there.
The spring hunt would last three days and the womenfolk would stay there for five or six days.

East Palace.

The Crown Prince finally got the little boy in his arms to sleep.
He placed him on a small bed and sighed.

He walked out and ask his guard, “Still no news about Jinniang?”

“We’ve searched the entire Lin’an but failed to find her.
Please punish us, Master.”

The Crown Prince waved his hand.
“Forget it, it has been so many days…”

He looked at the bright moon in the sky.
It was the full moon again.
It had been almost four months since he left Lin’an.

He should hate that woman for making him marry into her family, but occasionally he would think of her smiling face.
She had a pair of nice almond eyes, which looked so beautiful and gentle when she smiled.

The Myriad Taste was so important to her, so why did she leave abruptly?

The spring hunt that everyone was looking forward to had finally come.
One carriage after another left Chang’an.
It was so lively on the street.

When the carriage of the Duke Anyuan’s Mansion left, Qiao Ruoshui pouted.
“Mother, why do we have to humor Qiao Jinniang to go to the North Mountain first? If we leave half a day later, we can see the Crown Prince riding a horse!”

Qiao Jinniang asked curiously, “Will the Crown Prince ride to the paddock?”

Qiao Ruoshui stared at Qiao Jinniang and said, “I’m telling you, don’t you even think of being the crown princess, you slave-raised lowly woman.

“Although you’re technically my sister, you grew up in a vulgar place and are not worthy of the Crown Prince!”

The Duchess scolded.
“Ruoshui, get out!”

“Mom!”

The Duchess said with a straight face, “I have been too tolerant with you, resulting in you insulting your sister over and over again! You’re not joining in the spring hunt this year!”

Qiao Ruoshui was flustered.
The Crown Prince was coming to the spring hunt, so how could she be absent?

“Mammy, take Qiao Ruoshui home,” the Duchess shook her fan and said angrily.

Qiao Jinniang didn’t try to persuade the Duchess.
Qiao Ruoshui’s words were indeed getting more and more outrageous.

Qiao Jinniang was not kind enough to intercede on behalf of Qiao Ruoshui who repeatedly insulted her.
