Xia Chunyu’s every move in the kitchen had long been reported to Ye Jiayao.
After a while, he said, ” Heir-son Lord cuts his hand and sheds a lot of blood, but he even doesn’t wrinkle his brows.”
After a while, he said again, “Heir-son Lord has been scalded by rolling oil …”
Ye Jiayao listened with horror. This guy, was he crazy? Clearly he couldn’t do anything, but also pretended to be brave and make himself such a mess. Did he want her to be distressed? She didn’t eat this set.
” Heir-son Lord is cutting beef now, he’ll do it again.” Little Lu reported.
Ye Jiayao couldn’t sit still: ” Little Lu, you go and tell him that I’m gone and let him stop messing about.”
She couldn’t stay here any longer.
This time, Xia Chunyu’s beef stir-fry was quite successful and he was also very happy. But Little Lu said second lady had left.
Xia Chunyu hesitated for a moment and asked Zhong Xiang, ” What should I do next?”
Ye Jiayao didn’t take a carriage and asked Song Qi to wait here for Chunyu. She walked slowly and aimlessly along the river bank, only to find herself standing at the gate of Laifu inn.
A notice was posted at the door.Ye Jiayao came forward to see it, it was an inn transfer notice.
Well, why did Big Brother Du transfer the inn?
She was ashamed to say that since her marriage, she had not come to see Big Brother Du and Li Erniang. She just asked Song Qi to send some presents at the feast. The time when she first arrived in Jin Lin, thanks to the care of Big Brother Du and Li Erniang, she always remembered this kindness.
Ye Jiayao walked into the inn, Big Brother Du was behind the counter with his abacus. Little Yang wiped the desks and chairs there. The inn looked deserted.
In her memory, there were many guests in the lobby at this time.
” Big Brother Du …”
Shopkeeper Du raised his head and was delighted to see Ye Jiayao. He came out of the counter with a smile on his face: ” What a honor for you to come here, second lady!”
Ye Jiayao said with a smile, ” I passed by and came in to see Big Brother and sister – in – law.”
Shopkeeper Du responded quickly: “Little Yang, get some tea.”
The two of them sat down by the window, and Little Yang cheerfully served Ye Jiayao a good Longjing tea: ” Second lady, I haven’t seen you for a long time.”
Ye Jiayao laughed: ” Yes, I miss you all.”
” Hey? What about sister – in – law?Why I don’t see her?” Ye Jiayao looked around.
Shopkeeper Du smiled slightly disconsolately: ” She packs up at home and we are going back to her hometown of Wuzhou.”
Wuzhou Prefecture was modern Jinhua City, it has some distance away from Jin Lin.
” Why?”
Du said with a sigh: ” The old father-in-law is ill at the beginning of the year and lies on the bed. The family’s business is not managed, and the brother-in-law family settle in Hejian Prefecture. It is impossible to go back. There is still a brother-in-law with a problem here …”
Shopkeeper Du pointed to his head.
“Everyone has his own difficulty, Erniang and I are going to transfer the inn over there.”
Ye Jiayao was disappointed, familiar people all went away one by one.
She managed a smile: ” That’s the right thing to do.”
Suddenly she remembered and asked, ” Has this inn been transferred out?”
Shopkeeper Du gave a wry smile: ” There are several people who ask me, knowing that we are in a hurry to sell and the price is too low to bring back. Forget it. Money is nothing and I intend to sign it tomorrow. I can’t wait any longer.”
“How about Little Yang?”
Du looked at Little Yang, who was sweeping, and said, ” He still stays at the inn. I agree with the next owner, but it’s inevitable to reduce his wages.”
Ye Jiayao thought, it seemed that she wandered here for a purpose. It was arranged by God. Even if she came one day late, she could not see Big Brother Du.
Ye Jiayao pursed her lips and said, “Big Brother Du, you can transfer this inn to me!”
Shopkeeper Du smiled wryly: ” Second lady, I understand your kindness …”
Ye Jiayao interrupted him: ” No, Big Brother Du, first of all, this is my first place to stay in Jin Lin, and thanks to Big Brother and sister-in-law I have great feelings for this place. Second, you have a good location here, not far from Heavenly Residence, and it is indeed useful for me to take over.”
Shopkeeper Du hesitated for a moment and said, ” If you are really eager, then I will transfer it to you at the price I agree with others.”
Ye Jiayao said with a smile: ” That’s all right. But as you say, people see that you are in a hurry to make moves and take advantage of the opportunity to bring down prices. If I can do such a thing, I’ll change it according to your original price. Big Brother Du, you needn’t be polite to me. I’m poor before, and I’ll take advantage of you. But now, I’m rich. You don’t need to save money for me.”
Shopkeeper Du was amused by her, and he was also a cheerful person, he said, “Then I’ll take your kindness, at 38,000, even the deed of the house.”
Ye Jiayao said, ” Don’t fool me, Big Brother Du. Is it thirty-eight thousand enough in this area?”
Ye Jiayao was not aware of the market, but this building alone was worth at least 42,000.
Du said with a smile, “It’s already enough. I only spend more than 10,000 when I buy it. Over the years, I have saved some money by this inn.”
Shopkeeper Du insisted on this price, Ye Jiayao had to agree to pay tomorrow.
Little Yang learned that Ye Jiayao had turned over the inn, he was so happy that he worked more vigorously.
In the store, they sat down and chatted for a while, Ye Jiayao just got up to leave.
When she got home, it was already dark.
Several lanterns hung high in front of the gate of Jing ‘an marquis house, reflecting the majesty and solemnity of the red-painted copper nail gate.
And a long figure in front of the gate paced up and down uneasily.
Was he waiting for her?
Ye Jiayao was going to ignore him. But he found her instantly and quickly came up with a worried look: “Yaoyao, where have you been? I’m worried.”
Ye Jiayao walked in without saying a word. Why did she need to tell him? When she cared about him, she could do anything for him as her everything, but when she didn’t care, he was nothing.
Xia Chunyu followed.
“Yaoyao, have you eaten?”
Ye Jiayao was silent.
“Yaoyao, say a word?”
Ye Jiayao remained silent.
“Yaoyao…”
Ye Jiayao walked faster.
Back to the wing, Xia Chunyu followed.
Ye Jiayao said with a cold face, ” What are you doing here?There are so many rooms here that you still have an outside study.”
Xia Chunyu made an apology and said, ” Where are you? Where am I?”
” If you don’t want me to live on the streets so late, just go out for me.” Ye Jiayao unceremoniously ordered.
Xia Chunyu’s smile froze on his face for a long time. He said softly, ” Mom say, if you come back, go to find her.”
Ye Jiayao kept silent.
Xia Chunyu took two steps and paused again: ” Also, Mu Qinchu has come, he says, as you say.”
Ye Jiayao paused, the decision was made so soon?
Xia Chunyu didn’t ask Ye Jiayao why she was looking for her. He also guessed that Ye Jinrong would not be spared this time.
The Wei family was going to be miserable.
Ah … It was worse than Wei Family. He was the worst one, but also the one that deserved it most.
Qiao Xi came in to help her to dress up.
Xiangtao served the food, opened the lid of the bowl and put away the chopsticks: “You must not have eaten dinner, second lady. Please eat some mat first!”
Ye Jiayao smelled the fragrance and really felt hungry.
She went over and had a look, but it was a bowl of fried rice with egg and a tomato soup.
Her heart thumped: ” Who makes this?”
Xiangtao trembled, looking at Qiao Xi, hesitated whether to tell the truth.
Qiao Xi said gently, ” it is made by Heir-son Lord in Heavenly Residence. it is packed in pottery jars and hold back by cotton cloth, it has been kept in a hot pot all the time.”.”
Ye Jiayao looked at this bowl of fried rice with beef and egg. Her heart was full of mixed feelings. She left there and told him not to do it. But he still did it. She didn’t know how many more injuries he would have.
Qiao Xi added: ” second lady, heir-son Lord really know that he is wrong, so forgive him this time!You don’t see, because you don’t come back, he is so worried, standing at the gate waiting for you.”
Ye Jiayao’s heart was also made of meat. What was Chunyu’s identity? She was afraid he didn’t walk into the kitchen till now, but he was serious about cooking for her. She was not moved or softhearted.
This incident hit her too hard. Once bitten by a snake, she was afraid of the ropes for ten years. In some ways, she was cowardly.
” Withdraw, I’m not hungry.” Ye Jiayao picked up the chopsticks and put down, said lightly.
Qiao Xi and Xiangtao looked at each other. Song Qi said this was made by heir-son Lord himself. He did the cooking himself, which was unbelievable, and he did so well, but second lady was ungrateful at all.
Ye Jiayao went straight to the house. After all, she was still marquis house’s second wife and You was her mother – in – law. Besides, You was still good to her and she had to go.
She came to the house, but saw Xia Chunyu already waiting for her there.
” Yaoyao, Chunfeng and Liu Li are also inside.” Xia Chunyu first told her.
Ye Jiayao understood that it was estimated that You and Chunfeng would intercede for Liu Li.
She was now beginning to renovate Jinrong and Jinyao, just to see what attitude You and Chunfeng had. If they would give her justice, she would not be in trouble. If they wanted to protect Liu Li, then she would solve it herself.
The patience of Liu Li had reached the point where it was intolerable, and two slap was far from enough to eliminate her heart’s hatred.
Two people tandem into the hall.
Ye Jiayao’s eyes turned slightly and even the old marquis spared no effort to be here.
The expressions of the old marquis and You were slightly serious.
Chunfeng’s face was dark, and hid eyes were complicated and indistinguishable.
Liu Li had been low-headed and dare not to look at her. Her hands had been twisted by handkerchief to hide the unease in her heart.
Ye Jiayao sneered at the bottom of her heart. She was looking forward to the play tonight.
Ye Jiayao quietly bowed her knees and said, ” Jinyao greets to papa and mum.”
