Never divorce, never stop getting rich

A carriage that didn't look like one from an ordinary family. It had a brown wooden carriage with a family crest inlaid in gold on the carriage surface and gold carvings on the four sides.

There were copper bells hanging on the four corners of the carriage's roof, and runes of fortune, wealth and longevity were engraved on the bells. There were two people sitting on the carriage frame, and even the coachman was wearing fine cotton clothes. There were about five or six guards surrounding the carriage.

Those who come are either rich or noble.

"You... who are you?" Shi Laoer was a little flustered, and he stood behind his wife out of habit.

Shi Er's wife glanced at him with disdain, but she was also knowledgeable and knew that anyone who could ride in such a carriage must not be an ordinary person, so she didn't dare to speak or show her head.

"Didn't you just say that she has no family left and no one to support her? Then as a family member, I have something to say."

The carriage door opened, and Qian Qiansui walked down gracefully wearing the new clothes that the Qian family had specially prepared for her before her wedding. She even had a flower ornament on her eyebrow.

Although there are many business travelers in such a small town, it is rare to see nobles of prominent status, so everyone in the restaurant could not help but avoid their gaze and dared not look directly at them.

"My sister-in-law lost her parents a long time ago, so where would her family come from? Madam, please stop joking."

Shi Laoer spoke with obvious weakness, especially when he saw the masked young man holding a sword standing behind the woman.

"I'm not kidding. My family has a history with this Madam Su Xin, and I came here specifically to look for her."

Qian Qiansui slowly walked over to Su Xin, took her hand and said, "My family has some connections with your master. I knew you were married before, so I didn't want to disturb you. Recently, I heard that you were in trouble, and I have something to ask of you, so I came here just in time."

Before anyone else could react, Su Xin's eyes lit up instantly when she mentioned her master. She was so excited that she almost cried and asked, "Where is my master now?"

"The old man loves to travel. To be honest, I don't know where he will go, but he is in good health, so don't worry."

In fact, Qian Qiansui's words were half true and half false. It was true that he knew Su Xin had a master, but it was false that this master had a long history with the Qian family and was enjoying his old age.

Qian Qiansui knew Su Xin because he had read the novel in which the villain Fu Zichan was planning to rebel and assassinate the empress, so he thought of finding a skilled cook to make cakes in the restaurant to attract the empress.

It's a pity that the empress knew the plan in advance, and Su Xin, who is a good cook, became the scapegoat. She didn't even know that this was a trap.

The book only mentions her briefly, explaining that she has a master who is a cooking god. The master's origins and where he went were unknown, and he did not appear again until the end.

As for everything she experienced in the Shi family, it was nothing more than a thin piece of rice paper on the empress's desk, and after her death, she received only a sigh of regret from the empress.

Su Xin really believed it. She didn't know her master very well. One day after her parents died, the master suddenly appeared and began to teach her cooking, and then disappeared for a while from time to time.

But every time he left, he left some silver, which saved her life and supported her until she grew up.

It was not until she got married that he left a letter and disappeared completely. The gift he gave her as an addition to her dowry was the booklet in the apprentice's hand.

"So he is Master's friend. I'm sorry to have embarrassed Madam by my appearance now." Su Xin finally noticed Qian Qiansui's attire and said at a loss.

Qian Qiansui was very satisfied. He was grateful, had a pure heart, and was very dedicated and obsessed with cooking. This was the person she was looking for.

"It's okay." Qian Qiansui patted the back of her hand soothingly, then turned to Shi Laoer and said, "Do you want to divorce your sister-in-law on your behalf?"

"She's a woman, and I'm a man. It's easy to say she's a widowed sister-in-law and a brother-in-law. I just don't want to embarrass either of us."

Shi Laoer is a coward, his eyes flicker and his gaze is full of greed.

Shi Er's wife tugged at Shi Lao Er's clothes and was about to say something nice when she saw Qian Qiansui find a seat and sit down, then waved his hand and arranged for an accountant to come over.

"Alright, since Du Suxin and your Shi family are no longer one family, then we must settle all the accounts we've had over the years."

The accountant raised his chin, narrowed his eyes, and looked down upon everyone present. He counted on the abacus with one hand, faster and faster, almost leaving an afterimage.

"In reply to Madam, this lady ran the Shi family shop from the age of sixteen to forty. Not counting the wages of the shopkeeper and the accountant, just the wages of a chef,

In the twenty-four years, he was an ordinary cook for the first five years, earning about one tael of silver per month. In the next nineteen years, he opened a restaurant, which grew and prospered, and five taels of silver was considered a friendly price.

Add to that the extra work time during the holidays and New Year holidays, and this 1,500 taels doesn't even include the cost of taking on an apprentice. If you still have questions, I can slowly calculate it in detail..."

The accountant talked a lot and calculated Su Xin's wages for these years clearly.

"What? How can there be so much money!"

Shi Lao Er was no longer afraid. When he heard that the banknotes in his pocket were going to run away, he became completely crazy. He looked at Su Xin with a fake smile and said, "You came prepared, Su Xin. These are not your family members at all. They are the actors you hired to cheat my Shi family!"

"How dare you!" The guards brought by Qian Qiansui often received rewards and were very loyal in their hearts. How could they allow such trash to slander the lady?

Shi Er's wife was also scared, but it was too late to cover Shi Lao Er's mouth.

"I think I understand. Just tell me, how much did this woman give you for your performance? Now that you have calculated all the money, how much will she give you?"

Qian Qiansui was not angry at all. She even saw the booklet in the apprentice's hand. She pulled Wen Chun's hand and pursed her lips.

Wen Chun jumped out and took the book back in an instant. The apprentice was still in the same posture and hadn't noticed at all.

Su Xin held the booklet and cried sadly. She didn't care about the amount of money, nor did she want to spoil Qian Qiansui's interest. She stood silently behind Qian Qiansui no matter how much Shi Laoer cursed at her.

"I understand. You don't want to pay, right?" Qian Qiansui stood up and clapped his hands. One of the guards immediately ran out.

"Yes, everything in the Shi family belongs to me. It has nothing to do with this woman." Shi Laoer's face flushed, his eyes full of murderous intent.

"In that case, I will take Su Xin away. As for whether she gets what she deserves or not, you can forget about what she created." After saying that, Qian Qiansui wanted to leave.

Unexpectedly, the apprentice reacted and shouted in shock, "They took the book away. We can't let them go!"

Shi Laoer raised his hand and decided to go all out.

"Close the gate, no one can leave today!"
