The Farewell Feast: After the Divorce, I Uncover the Marquis's Household Secrets

With a single divorce agreement, Su Wanqing is thrown out by her husband from the Marquis of Yongning’s household, who conspires with her half-sister. Her generous dowry is swallowed up, and she is saddled with a ruined reputation. Everyone laughs that the Su family’s culinary-bone arts inheritor has become a discarded wife, with no hope of ever rising again. But no one knows she possesses the long-lost secret art of culinary bone-reading. She studies bones to identify hidden ailments, read a person’s bone structure, and discern whether their heart is true. A bowl of medicinal cuisine can cure chronic illnesses, and one look at the bones can expose every kind of lie and scheme. Cast out on a rainy night, she sets up a street stall to survive. A bowl of medicinal cuisine saves the poor, and a glance at someone’s bones reveals the wickedness in their heart. Her former husband comes to beg for another chance after finally seeing the error of his ways? She reads his bones, sees nothing but scheming and hypocrisy, and dismisses him coldly in front of everyone. Her half-sister secretly poisons and frames people? The marks on the bones do not lie. She reveals the evidence to the entire city. The cold-faced former deputy magistrate Xie Yanzhou, who has retired from public life, comes to her with an old unsolved case and invites her to help him cut through the layers of mystery. So what if she is a discarded wife? Medicinal cuisine is her cauldron, and bone-reading her blade. Starting from the streets, she investigates strange cases, clears the wrongfully accused, reclaims her dowry, settles old scores, and opens the greatest culinary-bone clinic in the realm. With her unique skills, Su Wanqing becomes a woman no one in the Great Qi Dynasty dares to look down on.
