Exile after Divorce? Empty the Scumbag Husband First!-Chapter 403 - 348: Aunt Qiu Knew She Had Ulterior Motives: "Tell Me Clearly.

"Miss, I appreciate your kindness, and I know you’re not lacking these, but neither am I. Moreover, you have a big family to take care of, you need these more than I do."

"I’ve been saving up my daily wages, and I’m much wealthier now than I was in the Capital City. I’ve calculated that my little savings would be enough to buy a nice house in the Capital City."

"So, I can’t accept these things you’re giving me..."

"You’re still trying to turn me down? I’m really not pleased with that, Zhu’er. Since I’ve given them to you, you should accept them graciously. You shouldn’t have any burden, because it’s not just you; I’ve prepared a gift for Shaoxi as well."

"In fact, before you came, I talked to Shaoxi about her marriage. In a week’s time, there’s a perfect auspicious day; why don’t you both hold your weddings together? It would be a grand celebration for everyone, how about it?"

"Shaoxi has agreed to it."

Cui Zhu was incredibly shocked; to her, this was indeed excellent news.

Her eyes filled with tears of excitement: "Really? Can I get married on the same day as Shuixi?"

"Of course, as long as you’re both willing, there’s definitely no problem."

"I do! Of course, I do!"

Seeing Cui Zhu in tears, Ruan Mian gently embraced her, feeling genuine affection towards her.

By this time, she already considered them as her dearest family.

Ruan Mian, being capable, just wanted to give them the best of everything.

Once the auspicious day passed, and everything at home was organized, she intended to pay a visit to the Capital City herself.

Before that, she planned to have the transport service secretly deliver a batch of modified firearms and other weapons to Ah Huai, just in case of emergencies.

Initially, she never considered going to the Capital City, but after the Zhang Hexsong incident, she realized that the Fifth Princess had clearly become hostile towards her and wouldn’t easily let her go.

Since that was the case, her passive resistance with Wuheng was too risky.

It was better to take initiative, and while doing so, help Ah Huai, to quickly bring this story to a happy ending (HE).

With that decision made, she started dealing with matters concerning Wuheng during this period.

Especially the wedding preparations, she even renovated the houses where Cui Zhu and Shaoxi currently lived.

She renewed every brick and tile and even asked Ruan Mao to personally craft some practical furniture for them.

As for other celebratory items, she simply asked Liu Shu to transport them from the garrison.

It was almost like operating a department store, fully stocked. Having gained experience from previous weddings, Ruan Mian handled this process smoothly and even decorated with particular ideas.

The eldest aunt also joined in the fun, personally providing numerous suggestions for the arrangements.

This sparked a new business idea!

"Mianmian, I noticed many dignitaries in the garrison enjoy hosting banquets at home, imitating our nobles in the Capital City. I thought, why not cultivate a team with a keen sense of aesthetics to specialize in decorating various banquets?"

"We could directly operate it under the restaurant’s name as an additional service. Using silks, flowers, and so forth, we can make their homes look beautiful."

"Anyway, those nobles aren’t short on money; we earn from them, what do you think?"

Ruan Mian couldn’t help but smile; she knew her aunt loved to explore new ventures, and she would fully support her ambitions.

However, there was one matter she needed to discuss with her aunt in advance.

She leaned close to her aunt and said, "Aunt, after Shaoxi’s wedding, I plan to secretly go to the Capital City."

"To the Capital City?"

Her aunt was stunned, a little worried: "But without a summons from the Holy Emperor, you’re not allowed to enter the capital, and if you’re discovered, you..."

"Are you still worried about this?"

After saying that, her aunt laughed and scratched her head: "You see, I’ve been here for so long that I almost forgot our journey here."

"You truly don’t need me to worry, so I’ll wish you bring Ah Huai back soon, giving your parents a pleasant surprise! Then you’ll all live a happy life together, "how about that?"

Ruan Mian smiled; she, too, wished to bring him back soon, to rely on each other in the future would be nice.

Especially now, seeing Cui Zhu and Shaoxi having found their significant others, witnessing their happiness, she couldn’t help but reminisce about her and Ah Huai’s time together.

To say she didn’t miss him would be a lie.

But she believed that the time they were reunited would draw closer and closer.

Aside from the decorations, Ruan Mian and her aunt accomplished some important tasks together.
