The Marquess's Widow Sets Up a Stall to Raise Her Kids

Updated daily, before midnight. I'll take a break if something comes up. The current anti-piracy threshold is 80%, and it will be lowered as the word count grows.

When Jiang Rong opened her eyes, she had become the most pitiful young widow in the Qingyuan Marquis Household.

Her brother-in-law coveted her, her sister-in-law and mother-in-law were hostile toward her, and the elders of the clan looked down on her as a countrywoman who brought bad luck and caused her husband's death.

Even the little tagalong at her side was pointed at and called a bastard.

With such a disastrous start, Jiang Rong decided to take matters into her own hands. She moved out of the marquis household and set up a small food stall on the street with the boy she'd picked up and adopted.

When the people of the marquis household heard, they waited to laugh at her.

Jiang Rong, once a food blogger with tens of millions of followers, said, "We'll see who ends up laughing at whom."

Curry fried rice, crawfish, spicy hot pot, grilled fish, crawfish...

The signature dishes of Jiang's Kitchen went from a little street stall to a shop and then a restaurant. Business boomed, and customers never stopped coming.

The once lofty Qingyuan Marquis Household sent people to buy food after catching the scent, but they couldn't get a place in line even after their legs gave out from standing at the back.

Jiang Rong: "I don't care if you're just a marquis household or the emperor himself. You still have to queue!"

Everyone said that Prince Yongning, Qi Heng, had fallen into a slump ever since his sister, Empress Qi, died and the Crown Prince went missing.

He had once been a promising young man, but now he spent his time in brothels and taverns, throwing money around until he became a thoroughly dissolute playboy.

But nobody knew that in his previous life, after Qi Heng went through countless hardships to find his little nephew, the poor child and the woman who had raised him had already become two new graves.

In this life, he watched the food stall at Jiang's Kitchen,

where a woman in plain clothes expertly tossed and flipped food in the wok, sweat glistening on her forehead;

beside her, a tiny boy stood on tiptoe, helping her with all the earnestness he could muster.

He only hoped the child could live a safe, happy life just like this, free of worry.

As for those who had bullied, humiliated, or hurt them, he would settle the score on their behalf, one debt at a time.
