Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lu Chen snorted coldly. “I have a million ways to stop the marriage between you and Li Yun. Why would I bother to send a maid to embarrass you?

“Even if I want to use Ruyu, I will never make you lose face in public. ”

Qiao Jinniang breathed a sigh of relief. If it was really done by Lu Chen, she would definitely not let Lu Chen off.

After this matter spread, she became a joke among those noble ladies in Chang’an.

Qiao Jinniang snorted. “You’d better not lie! But even if you did it, you can’t stop me from marrying Li Yun.”

Lu Chen frowned and said, “I remember you can’t tolerate concubines, right? Can you really force Ruyu to leave the Li Family and let her die? Or will you keep her and let this eyesore stay in front of you every day?”

Qiao Jinniang said, “Duke Anyuan Mansion lacks maids. Since Ruyu is willing to be a maid in the Li Family, why doesn’t she just work as a maid in the Duke Mansion?”

Lu Chen’s face turned black with anger. “You are determined to marry Li Yun, aren’t you?”

Qiao Jinniang nodded and said, “Yes, anyway, I would rather marry a beggar on the street than marry you again!”

Xie Yun glanced at Qiao Jinniang and said, “Jinniang, I invited you over to talk with you, not to listen to you two quarrel.

“How are you doing in Chang’an? Is anyone bullying you? If there is, you can tell me. ”

Qiao Jinniang pursed her lips and said, “No one has bullied me except Lu Chen.”

Lu Chen said angrily, “When did I bully you? Qiao Jinniang, I broke my bottom line for you again and again…”

Qiao Jinniang said with a sarcastic smile. “Isn’t it considered an insult to demote your wife to a concubine? Today, Miss Xie has just entered Chang’an, and you rushed over eagerly. Maybe you already took a fancy to Miss Xie back when we were in the South…”

Lu Chen said, “So you’re jealous.”

Qiao Jinniang frowned. “Who is jealous? I just want to advise Miss Xie not to be deceived by you, an ungrateful and shameless person.

“When you were still my husband in the South, you went to Miss Xie every day. At that time, I should have known that you are by no means a good person!”

Why was this jerk so confident?

Lu Chen said with a straight face. “I didn’t! Besides, Xie Yun is a man, and I’m not gay!”

Hearing it, Qiao Jinniang sneered. “I can’t believe that the dignified Crown Prince of our country will talk barefaced nonsense.”

How can Xie Yun be a man? I knew her when she was about seven or eight years old. Xie Yun has always been a woman…

Lu Chen said, “Only you can’t tell that Xie Yun is a man!”

Qiao Jinniang looked at Xie Yun carefully, and the latter looked one hundred percent like a woman.

The only thing special about her was that she was tall!

Lu Chen said to Qiao Jinniang, “I went to visit Xie Yun frequently in the South because I had a deal with Xie Yun. I would help him solve his third uncle, and he would protect our business in Lin’an.”

“After I regained my memory, I made another deal with him. He needed the position of the crown princess to take power in the Xie Family, and when he marries into the East Palace as the crown princess, he will take Tuan’er as his son.

“In this way, Tuan’er will be the legitimate eldest son of the crown princess and can inherit my position.

“And when you marry into the East Palace, no woman will have a higher status than you except for Xie Yun!”

Lu Chen paused and said, “Jinniang, I never wanted you to be wronged.

“Don’t cause trouble anymore. Li Yun is really not a good choice for you. Break off the engagement with him as soon as possible. I’ve already asked my father to allow me to marry you…”

Qiao Jinniang bit her lip and said, “Do you think I’m causing trouble by being engaged to Li Yun?”

“Do you think I’m causing trouble just to get the position of crown princess? I told you I don’t need it. You’ve always been self-righteous and never took my words to heart.”

“Okay, Your Royal Highness, listen up, let me tell you that I disdain the position of the crown princess. I am not playing hard to get, and I’m not causing trouble to get the position of the crown princess!”

After Qiao Jinniang finished speaking, she bowed to Xie Yun.

“Miss Xie, no, Young Master Xie, you are all high-ranking people. I’m from a humble background, and I really don’t deserve to be played with by you people. I’ll take my leave first.”

Xie Yun sighed and said, “Jinniang, I never wanted to play with you.

“I didn’t tell you my identity because I didn’t want to cause trouble for you. You and I have known each other since childhood, and I have always treated you as my own sister. ”

Qiao Jinniang saluted and turned to leave.

Lu Chen wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Xie Yun.

Xie Yun said coldly to Lu Chen, “Your Royal Highness, don’t forget that you promised me in the South that you would take care of Little Jinniang for the rest of your life, but why did you make her suffer all these grievances when you returned to Chang’an?”

Lu Chen said coldly, “I never want her to be wronged!”

Xie Yun only said, “If I were you, I would have never made Jinniang a concubine. Although a royal concubine is different from an ordinary concubine, a concubine is still a concubine after all.

“If your mother is not the queen, but just an imperial concubine, do you think your position as the Crown Prince can be as secure as it is today?”

Seeing that Lu Chen pursed his lips and remained silent, Xie Yun said, “Although Jinniang was from a humble background, she is not a person who covets power. No matter how rich and powerful you are, it is not what she wants.

“Jinniang has decided never to be a concubine since she was a child, and she hates concubines and concubine maids very much.

“I taught her about concubines and concubine maids in the past because I wanted her to have a better life after she got married.

“But she said it was not necessary because her future husband would never take any concubines or concubine maids.

“She never wanted to marry into a wealthy or powerful family.

“Otherwise, why do you think Jinniang insisted on finding a man to marry into her family although she was so beautiful and owned the Myriad Taste?

“Even if she couldn’t marry into an official family in Lin’an, it was more than enough for her to marry a wealthy businessman.”

Lu Chen frowned, remembering the resentment Qiao Jinniang had always had towards him after they met again in Chang’an.

He thought maybe he was wrong.

Horribly wrong.

What Jin’er valued was never money nor power.

Therefore, different from ordinary noble girls in Chang’an, she would not feel happy becoming his concubine, but she would only feel shameful…

But he didn’t notice it at all, thinking that she was threatening him with his love for her to get a higher position.

It wasn’t until today that he understood that Qiao Jinniang wanted to marry someone else not to force him to give her the position of the crown princess, but because she really disliked him!

He personally pushed Jinniang to Li Yun.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen felt sour in his heart.

…

Qiao Jinniang felt that today was not her day. She was insulted twice this day. She really shouldn’t have gone out today!

After leaving the Xie Family’s residence, Nuomi whispered to Qiao Jinniang, “Miss, is Miss Xie really a man? Then when you were a child…”

As a child, Qiao Jinniang often played with Xie Yun when she went to deliver pastries to him.

As he was slightly older, Xie Yun would teach Qiao Jinniang something she didn’t know. Sometimes, Qiao Jinniang would sleep on Xie Yun’s bed when she was sleepy.

Although they were only eight or nine years old back then, men and women should keep a distance!

Qiao Jinniang said, “Whether Xie Yun is a man or a woman, he has never hurt me.”

Thinking back, she found that there were traces showing that Xie Yun was a man.

After the age of thirteen, Xie Yun didn’t allow her to be close to him any longer. At that time, Qiao Jinniang naively thought that it was because of the difference in status.

They couldn’t be as close as when they were children because after all. Xie Yun was the daughter of an old distinguished family, while she was just the daughter of a merchant.

But it turned out that Xie Yun just didn’t want to ruin her reputation.

Qiao Jinniang walked to a street corner and heard someone call “Miss Qiao” from behind. She turned around and saw Prince Mediocre walking towards him.

Qiao Jinniang saluted. “Greetings, Your Highness.”

Prince Mediocre said, “Miss Qiao, you don’t have to salute me. Do you like the birthday gift I prepared for you?”
