After the divorce, I was adorned in a phoenix robe, while my ex-husband's entire family dug up

The people in the Marquis's mansion were not in good health, so they prepared medicinal cuisine with every meal.

Lu Jieyue, in particular, said she needed to take good care of her health so that she could have children after getting married.

Therefore, the diet should be designed to supplement nutrition in this way.

Since Wei Zhaoning gave the order yesterday, that famous chef from Jiangnan has been cooking only for her.

The old lady was also very dissatisfied with this.

Today's meal consisted of simple porridge and side dishes. She tossed her chopsticks aside and said, "Do you think we're a poor family? Serving us such thin porridge for breakfast? Someone, bring the Lady of the Marquis here!"

Lu Jieyue chimed in, "I think she's just jealous of Zhu Feng taking a concubine and is deliberately making us unhappy!"

Upon hearing the servant's report, Wei Zhaoning replied indifferently, "The power to manage the household has already been handed over to Aunt Wei. Don't bother me with such trivial matters anymore; I'm not feeling well."

After she finished speaking, she gestured for the servants to bring the meal, which she then enjoyed in her courtyard.

This is just the beginning.

The Yongxin Marquis's family has relied on the achievements of their ancestors, but by this generation, they have accomplished nothing. If it weren't for the help of her maternal family, it would be questionable whether Lu Zhufeng could even inherit the title.

It's long been an empty shell, unable to make ends meet.

The old lady waited and waited, but it was Wei Jiaruo who arrived.

"Why is it you?" the old lady asked.

Wei Jiaruo was quite happy to act like she had the authority to manage the household.

"Mother, have you forgotten? I am now in charge of the Marquis's mansion."

But the food isn't to your liking?

Lu Jieyue said irritably, "You don't know, that person got angry and removed all the cooks from the Marquis's mansion. Today, this is all we're serving."

Look at you, where is the demeanor of a great person?

Wei Jiaruo glanced at the congee and side dishes on the table, and said with a forced smile, "What kind of cook? Since I'm in charge, I'll find one."

It's another expense, but the most important thing is to win over everyone in the Marquis's mansion and get them all on her side.

The old lady and Lu Jieyue were both very satisfied.

Wei Jiaruo hurriedly found a chef who claimed to be from Jiangnan and cooked a table full of dishes, which made them all smile.

Lu Jieyue teased, "So you call yourself a legitimate daughter of a noble family? I think your way of dealing with people is worse than that of a concubine's daughter."

These words pierced Wei Jiaruo's heart like a knife: So what if she's a concubine's daughter?

She was determined to prove that she was superior to Wei Zhaoning!

They all picked up some food and put it in their mouths, but after chewing a few times, they all looked uncomfortable.

It's not that it doesn't taste good.

I feel like something's missing.

When Lu Zhufeng returned from court, he heard about this. He figured that he must have been neglecting Wei Zhaoning these days, and this was her way of being a little temperamental with her. That was quite interesting.

He went straight to Wei Zhaoning's courtyard.

Seeing her holding a book of policy essays, I couldn't help but think to myself, "Still so boring."

Wei Zhaoning was so engrossed in watching that he suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Are you still angry?"

Wei Zhaoning was startled and instinctively slapped him across the face.

She didn't offer any explanation, only asking, "What are you doing here?"

A bright red handprint was imprinted on Lu Zhufeng's face.

He covered his face and looked around at the servants, instantly feeling humiliated.

Remembering his purpose, he suppressed his anger.

"I heard you dismissed the cooks from the manor? Are you angry with me?"

"It's been my neglect to look after you lately. I'll definitely spend more time with you from now on. Tell the cook to come back; they're used to the food and they'll be unaccustomed to a sudden change."

Wei Zhaoning found it somewhat unbelievable.

Is this an order being given to her?

That's right. She used to be too good to Lu Zhufeng. He was a man of his word, and she always wanted to give him the best.

That's why he dared to speak to himself like that.

"Didn't Aunt Wei hire a new chef? People can change their tastes, so why can't we change our food?" Wei Zhaoning sat down and said coldly.

Feeling somewhat guilty, Lu Zhufeng suddenly shouted, "You think this is funny?"

"Didn't you agree to take a concubine yourself? Why are you behaving like this now that you've brought her in?"

"Which man doesn't have multiple wives and concubines? Do you think you deserve to be different? Why can other wives tolerate it, even get along well with their concubines, but you can't? Besides, she's your sister!"

The person who did wrong is now in the right.

In her past life, Wei Zhaoning had wondered if she was too intolerant, which led him to fake his death and elope with someone else for five years without ever looking at her again.

But she couldn't understand it. If getting married meant competing with others for a lifetime, she'd rather not get married at all.

Wei Zhaoning was so angry that her chest ached, her body stiffened, her hands trembled uncontrollably, and she couldn't utter a single word.

Seeing this, Lu Zhufeng snorted coldly, "If you insist on doing this, then don't regret it!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

She would act like this uncontrollably when she was angry. He used to feel heartbroken and cry when he saw her like this, wishing he could take her place.

I can't even be bothered to look at it now.

It took me a long time to recover.

Lu Ze spent two days gambling with a vengeance, and finally returned with a thousand taels of silver.

The whole family was overjoyed.

Everyone praised Wei Jiaruo for her foresight.

Lu Zhufeng, who had been rebuffed by Wei Zhaoning, was overjoyed to see this scene and spun Wei Jiaruo around several times.

"Jia Ruo, I knew it! You're my lucky star. If it were anyone else, they would have turned this manor into a complete mess!"

If I had known this would happen, why did I go to Wei Zhaoning's place today and embarrass myself for nothing? She's an ungrateful wretch who can't be warmed up.

She won't stop until someone begs or coaxes her.

A little bit of drama is fine, but too much drama will only push him further away.

The old lady also said, "Your mother has always liked you the most. Letting you manage the household is a good thing that person did!"

Lu Ze presented Wei Jiaruo with a set of ruby ​​jewelry, saying, "Sister-in-law, I actually won more, but I wanted to buy this for you."

"Thank you for supporting my hobby and for lifting me up."

Wei Jiaruo was both surprised and delighted; she knew she would win.

She looked at Wei Zhaoning defiantly.

Wei Zhaoning lowered her eyes; their commotion was none of her concern.

It's funny, but in her past life, she went to great lengths to support him, and even though Lu Ze became a wealthy man, he never gave her anything and always treated her coldly.

If Wei Jia allows him to gamble, it would be an act of kindness.

"What are famous chefs from Jiangnan? Let's just invite retired imperial chefs." Wei Jiaruo made a wild statement.

Everyone is watching Wei Zhaoning make a fool of himself.

Wei Zhaoning smiled slightly; there are no undefeated generals at the gambling table.

Furthermore, they would never know what else awaited Lu Ze in the casino.

"Aze, what's your plan regarding the shop? You can use this thousand taels to set up the shop first," Wei Jiaruo asked.

Lu Ze pursed his lips.

The shop is a minor issue, but the spices...

The store's prized possession is the "Soul-Stealing Incense," which is what made it an instant hit.

But he just couldn't remember the recipe for that intoxicating fragrance.

In my past life, it was the fragrance that Wei Zhaoning, that woman, blended.

But he wouldn't bow down to her. It's just a seductive fragrance, isn't it? He could make a better fragrance on his own.

It was that woman who made that intoxicating fragrance to delay him. If he had made it himself, he might have become the richest man in the capital. How come he has been stuck in the top three all this time?
