Cough cough…Is there anything you want?”
Looking at his eyes sparkled, the Old Duke coughed to warn him.
Chunli looked away reluctantly and said: “Nothing, nothing, I just wanted to say hello knowing that second brother is back.”
He wanted to ask some money from mother initially, who knew father was here. He dared not ask. However, he does not need to ask from mother now, he can ask from second brother later.
You said with a stone cold face: “Keep these yourselves and change your clothes, we are about to have dinner.”
“Lady…oh no oh no…”The maidservant, Qiao Juan that was newly placed in the COurtyard Liuli ran in in panic.
You’s heart sank: “Say properly, what happened?”
Qiao Juan said immediately: “The third young master and his wife are arguing.”
Uh…Ye Jiayao was shocked, Chunfeng had always treated Liuli well, didn’t he, why would they argue.
Before You stride forward, the Old Duke rushed her: “Quick, go take a look.”
“I’ll go too.” Chunyu said.
Chunli pestle in place, he couldn’t stop looking at the gold on the table.
The Old Duke couldn’t bear seeing the greedy look on his face, he shouted: “Quick, go, you should advice them as big brother.”
Chunli were shocked, he ran out immediately.
The Old Duke placed his hands behind him and walked towards the study: “He shook his head as he exclaimed: “There are no quiet days…”
Ye Jiayao asked someone to grab a box and placed everything in the box and moved it back to her courtyard. She saw the look on big brother’s face; he couldn’t wait to grab it all.
The silver couldn’t be stored in the bank, but Ye Jiayao didn’t want to bank in the gold and pearls. She might have to trouble Jiang Li, probably to make her a basement, and then she wouldn’t be afraid of theft and flood.

“If you want to leave then do it quick, don’t use this as a threat, this doesn’t scare me.” Xia Chunfeng yelled.
“You had been looking forward for me to move out to make space for those bitches? If I leave, you can be free and unfettered? Ok, I’ll fulfil you today…”
“Princess, princess, don’t be angry, watch out for your health, the third young master didn’t mean that.” Little Ya advised.
“What did he meant? Ok, are you so eager to please him, you want him to make you his mistress? I see that you are the same as those bitches…” Liuli placed her anger on Little Ya.
“I think you are crazy, like a crazy dog bitting whoever he caught.” Xia Chunyu said furiously.
You frowned, these two yelling like nobody’s business, don’t they know it’s embarrassing?
Especially since they were a bunch of servants standing in the courtyard, not knowing if they were worried or just there to watch a show.
“Everyone out.” You shouted.
Everyone looked down and went out.
Mother Sun opened the blinds for the lady. Once You entered the room, she straightaway scolded Chunfeng without asking for the cause.
“Was your brain covered in lard or was it slammed by the door? If you have the ability, go outside and show-off, what’s the matter with you acting strong in front of your woman? Don’t you know that Liuli is resting, you not only didn’t pamper her, but you made her angry. If she were to fall sick from this, can you compensate?”
As Liuli listened to You scolding Chunfeng, she felt wronged and started to pack her thing as she was tearing up.
Chunfeng protested: “Mother, you started scolding without knowing anything, it’s nto my fault today, I cannot bear it anymore.”
You gave Chunyu a meaningful glance and continued to scold: “Don’t you dare protest, one beat does not ring, I’ll settle you later.”
Xia Chunyu noted and dragged Chunfeng out.
You saw the clothes all messed up on the bed and yelled at Little Ya: “What are you doing? Get going and packed up the thing?”
“Mother, don’t stop me, I really can’t stay any longer.” Liuli said while crying.
You gently pull the clothes away from her and gave it to Little Ya.
Mother Sun helped Little Ya to pack thing away.
You smiled gently and pushed Liuli onto the bed. She too sat and advised: “I know that you are not in a good mood, losing your temper occasionally is fine, don’t keep everything inside your heart, this is will hurt your body. It is inevitable that a couple fight, it’s ok to release your anger when you fight. If Chunfeng is wrong, I’ll teach him a lesson, but you can’t say that you want to go back to the palace every time. If you leave, a small matter will grow into a big problem. The Queen mother would be worried. She’s already seventy this year, couldn’t you bear to see her worried for you at this age?”
Liuli didn’t really want to leave, she only wanted to scare Chunfeng and force him to surrender. Who knew that he stood so firmly today.
“It is said that one girl is responsible for two families. She has to take care of the reputation of both her husband’s family and her own family’s, not to mention you are a princess… If Chunfeng were to piss you off again, come and tell me, I’ll scold him for you, don’t argue with him yourself. It is difficult to be louder than him and it is tiring to be angry. Moreover, the servants would laugh at you, it’s not worth it…” You persuaded.
She couldn’t be bothered to investigate the reason; she heard what Liuli scolded just now. They were along the lines ‘give way for the bitches’, when Little Ya advised, she then said that she has misconduct, she doesn’t know if Little Ya has thoughts like that, but she knew Chunfeng’s moral character. Chunfeng wasn’t someone like that, out of the three young master of the Duke’s mansion, only Chunli were similar to the Old Duke, both Chunyu and Chunfeng are upright. It must be Liuli who had depression and was suspicious.
Liuli’s mood settled down slowly, she said: “These day his temper raised, he would be impatient in a short while, he’s definitely blaming me for losing our child…”
You said: “How could he? It wasn’t your fault that the child was miscarriage! Everyone knows this, no one is blaming you, Chunfeng would only feel sorry for you. It’s impossible to say that he doesn’t feel bad; maybe because he was busy lately, he might be impetuous. However, a couple need to be considerate and magnanimous with each other, you have a lifetime together.”
As You was persuading Liuli, Xia Chunfeng dragged Chunfeng into his room and comforted his third brother.
However, as they started the conversation, Chunfeng began to complain.
“Since we lost our child, she had completely changed into another person, I no longer recognise her. She would loose her temper easily. I know that she’s weak and she’s in a bad mood so I endured it. However, today I only ask Hui Lan a couple of questions before entering the room, I was concern about her, who knew she rushed out and slapped Hui Lan and said that she wanted to sell Hui Lan to the brothel and fulfil her needs of seducing men. I tried to explain to her yet she wouldn’t listen, all she would say is that she disgusts me. All these rubbish… If she continues, she’ll catch up with third aunty.
Xia Chunyu patted his shoulder in pity: “Third brother, it’s best that you endure it a little longer, wait till she feels better than you can bring her out to relax, she would be fine after than.”
“I think that we cannot spoil her. Just because she’s the princess doesn’t mean that she is the greatest and doesn’t need to be reasonable. If my wife were to be so arrogant, doesn’t matter if she’s a princess, I’ll settle her early on.” Xia Chunli said disapprovingly.
Ye Jiayao heard what Chunfeng said when she came to deliver the tea. It seemed like Liuli had depression. There’s no way you could reason with her, she would be at a dead end and leave no peace for the entire house. Nevertheless, it’s not possible to comply to all her needs.
“Third brother, the condition of your wife is a sickness, a psychological sickness. She lost her child, she feels guilty and distressed, and she was worried that you are blaming her in your heart even if you are not saying it. In short, she feels frustrated as all these unhealthy thoughts piled up; you need to be tolerant and accompany her if you have time. The weather is good these few day, bring her out. If she’s in a good mood, then she’ll recover.” Ye Jiayao said.
Xia Chunyu nodded and agreed: “Your sister-in-law is right. Don’t argue with her, if you are frustrated then just walk away and come back when you calmed down. Everything said when you are mad are hurtful.”
Xia Chunfeng rubbed his temple in despondence: “If she keeps it up, I’ll go crazy before her.”
Xia Chunyu laughed: “How could you go crazy? You are a man, be open-minded. There’s nothing wrong with being yelled at by a woman. If what she’s saying is right then you should listen and change, if she’s wrong then just ignore her. Once she’s finished, she’ll feel better, then there wouldn’t be a problem.”
“Second brother, I don’t agree with you. Men are the sky; he is the head of the family. How dare a woman go overboard? There’s an extend of how much you pamper your wife. Your sister-in-law never dared to say no to me.” Xia Chunli said.
Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes and thought; he’s not even writing a script while he’s bragging. It seemed like he has great abilities, he thought that it was amazing that he could act as if he was prestige in front of his wife. If Qiao was a princess, I’m afraid you would be happy to lick the water she used to wash her feet, how dare you say no? Bullshit, what a slag. How dare you encourage your brothers to be a slag too.
Xia Chunyu saw that Yaoyao was unhappy so he said: “After all third sister-in-law’s status is different, the current condition is also special, it’s not comparable. Alright, third brother, don’t be distressed. Yaoyao, go and prepare, us three brothers will drink and talk tonight.”
Ye Jiayao forgave them because of Chunfeng, she smiled and turned around to prepare the dishes and alcohol.
She left and ordered Song Qi: “Later when the three masters are drinking, if the eldest young master asks to borrow money, you let me know.”
Hum! Based on what he said today, she’d rather give alms to beggars rather than lending money to him. Isn’t he very capable? Qiao dared not say no to him? Ask money from Qiao then!
Song Qi laughed: “Sure, don’t worry second young master’s wife, I’ll reminds the Heir-son Lord.”
