Old Mrs. Qiu put the braised pork knuckle on the cart early in the morning, pushed the cart to set up her stall, and then stood guard next to the stall.

Granny Wang was tending her vegetable stall. Seeing that it wasn't busy yet, Wang Xiaojiu went over as usual, but she didn't see Xiong Bufan. "Granny Qiu, why didn't Bufan come to set up his stall today?"

Is Bufan sick? Is his illness serious?

Granny Qiu was already annoyed by running her own stall, so she waved her hand and chased him away, saying, "Go away, Xiong Bufan won't be coming back."

She has left this world.

Wang Xiaojiu didn't believe it. "Grandma Qiu, are you kidding me? Bufan is so strong, he can kick a strong man away with one kick."

"Go away, believe it or not."

Wang Xiaojiu stood by the steamed bun stall, almost crying with anxiety, "Grandma, please tell me where Bufan went."

When someone came to the vegetable stall to sell vegetables, Granny Wang immediately called out, "Wang Xiaojiu, a customer has arrived, hurry up and pack the vegetables."

Wang Xiaojiu reluctantly went back. Granny Qiu shook her head helplessly. She was telling the truth, so why didn't Wang Xiaojiu believe her?

Xiong Bufan usually sets up a stall with Granny Qiu, so many customers have seen him. One regular customer asked Granny Qiu, "Old Qiu, why haven't I seen Bufan today? That boy is usually very filial and always sets up a stall with you."

Granny Qiu packed up the buns and said, "She's gone, she won't be coming back."

The regular customer said awkwardly, "Okay, you go ahead and do your thing," and hurriedly left with the steamed buns.

Throughout the morning, almost every customer who bought steamed buns asked the same question. Granny Qiu found it annoying and decided to close up shop. On her way back, she bumped into a distinguished person sitting in a carriage. That person was none other than Qiao Qiqi.

Qiao Qiqi was not surprised to see Granny Qiu pushing the cart back by herself. She instructed the carriage to leave immediately, and that Lin Lanzhi should be taught etiquette today, and that she should also avoid associating with the beggar woman.

Granny Qiu glanced back at the carriage, then pushed it back without looking back.

In the courtyard, Lin Lanzhi was practicing etiquette. Her mother had finally recognized her, so she had to do her best.

The gate opened, and servants welcomed Qiao Qiqi in. People in the courtyard bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness, Princess Consort."

Lin Lanzhi ran over, looking at Qiao Qiqi with adoration, and called out sweetly, "Mother~"

Qiao Qiqi pushed Lin Lanzhi away. The mother and daughter had been separated for ten years, and the events of that year had become a chasm. Qiao Qiqi really had no affection for Lin Lanzhi. "In front of outsiders, don't call me mother, call me aunt."

How is Miss Cousin learning? Is she uncooperative?

"Miss is intelligent and studies very hard."

Qiao Qiqi's expression softened. "That's good."

"Zhi'er, you focus on your studies here. I'll take care of things outside."

"Mother, can I still marry Brother Jiang Yu?"

Qiao Qiqi looked at Lin Lanzhi in disbelief, still unable to understand what was so good about Jiang Yu. "Jiang Yu and Lin Lanxi are engaged, so don't even think about it."

On the surface, Lin Lanzhi dared not resist Qiao Qiqi, fearing she would lose her mother again. However, she was unwilling to hand over Jiang Yu to someone else, so she could only respectfully say, "Okay."

Xiong Bufan and Kongkong watched their lives with great interest. Xiong Bufan asked in confusion, "Since Lin Lanzhi wanted to marry Jiang Yu, why didn't she say so from the beginning?"

Kongkong, looking like she knew everything, said, "She probably wants to marry Jiang Yu herself, and doesn't want the transmigrator to possess Jiang Yu, not even her own body."

Xiong Bufan, looking somewhat confused, said, "Okay."

Soon it was time for Lin Lanxi and Jiang Yu's wedding. Jiang Yu rode a tall horse in front, his expression unreadable, while maids and servants scattered wedding money on the ground.

Lin Lanzhi was unaware of the situation, but as the wedding procession passed by the courtyard gate, Lin Lanzhi, who was practicing etiquette, asked absentmindedly, "Granny, is someone getting married outside?"

Granny Gao thought Lin Lanzhi was eager to get married, so she comforted her, saying, "It's the wedding of Jiang Yu, the second son of Lord Jiang's wife. They're throwing money outside for good luck."

But Miss, don't worry. With your good looks and the Empress's protection, you'll find a good family to marry into."

Xiong Bufan and Kongkong made a bet. Xiong Bufan spat out a melon seed shell and said, "I bet Lin Lanzhi will try to steal the bride."

Kongkong said, "I also bet she'll steal the bride; I bet she'll steal the bride right there in the street."

"Ok."

Lin Lanzhi's expression changed upon hearing about Jiang Yu's wedding. She put down the handkerchief in her hand and rushed out.

Granny Gao chased after her, calling out, "Come back, Miss, please come back quickly!" If Lin Lanzhi couldn't be found, everyone in the house would suffer, and she would have worked for nothing this month.

Lin Lanzhi completely ignored the noise behind her. All she could think about was that Jiang Yu was getting married, and she absolutely couldn't let Lin Lanxi marry him. Jiang Yu was hers.

As Lin Lanxi sat in the bridal sedan chair, listening to the blessings outside, she gripped the apple in her hand even tighter.

On the other side, Granny Gao quickly led her maids and servants to chase after Lin Lanzhi, determined to catch her before she disturbed Jiang Yu.

The horse wasn't moving fast, and a crowd had gathered around them. Lin Lanzhi finally caught up with the group. Jiang Yu was riding a tall horse, and Lin Lanzhi tried to squeeze in front of him to tell him that she was still alive and that it was all Lin Lanxi's fault.

Suddenly, a hand appeared from behind, covered Lin Lanzhi's mouth, tied her mouth shut with a strip of cloth, put her in a sack, and quietly carried her away.

Everyone around was so busy collecting lucky money from the newlyweds that they didn't notice anyone being kidnapped. Jiang Yu did catch a glimpse of it, but since it was a wedding day and it wasn't a good day to cause trouble, he bowed to those around him and continued riding his horse back home.

Xiong Bufan and Kongkong watched the show from inside the space, occasionally exclaiming, "Wow, he's been kidnapped! Jiang Yu doesn't care about him. That Jiang Yu isn't a good person either."

Kongkong chimed in, "That's right, Jiang Yu isn't a good person either."

Lin Lanzhi was thrown into the courtyard. Granny Gao opened the sack and looked at her coldly, "Miss, you'd better stay here. Her Majesty will be here soon."

"woooooo"

Granny Gao pulled away the cloth covering Lin Lanzhi's mouth, saying, "Say what you want to say."

Lin Lanzhi, bound and gagged, shouted, "You bunch of unruly servants! When my mother comes back, I'll have them deal with you!"

Threats are the least effective. Granny Gao could guess some of Qiao Qiqi's attitude towards Lin Lanzhi. "Then let's wait for Her Majesty to return and make a decision. Miss, please rest here for now."

"Someone, help the young lady inside to rest."

Two maids carried Lin Lanzhi into the house. Wang Xiaojiu tried to climb down from the wall to save Lin Lanzhi, but was stopped by Granny Qiu. "She's not extraordinary. Let's go."

It turned out that when Lin Lanzhi went out on the street, she was seen by Granny Qiu and Wang Xiaojiu, who were asking for tips. However, considering Xiong Bufan's words, Granny Qiu did not rush up directly, but instead pulled Wang Xiaojiu to follow behind.
