Ye Jiayao fell asleep in the middle of the night. When she woke up, Xia Chunyu had already gone out. When Jiang Yue came in to clean up, she found the quilt stacked in the study. She was surprised. Did the prince and the second young lady have a quarrel
"Yue'er, put the quilt back in the cabinet." Ye Jiayao ordered calmly.
"Yes." Jiang Yue hurriedly took the quilt away.
Qiao Xi came in to comb the second young lady's hair and said, "My wife just sent word that there is no need for the second young lady to go over and say hello today."
Ye Jiayao guessed that You didn't sleep well last night.
"I heard that the third young master kicked two of Nanny Shu's ribs last night," Qiao Xi added.
Ye Jiayao's heart trembled, Chunfeng also knew
"Third Young Mistress, didn't you make a fuss?"
Qiao Xi said: "There must have been a commotion. I heard that it alarmed the Marquis and his wife. Now the third young master is still kneeling in the ancestral hall!"
Well, there was such a big movement last night, but she didn't hear any news here.
She couldn't control the things there, so Ye Jiayao went to Tianshangju after breakfast, discussed the gift box with Zhong Xiang, and asked Manager Zhao to find the workshop that made the box, and must launch this Tianshangju within three days. Home gift box.
In the afternoon, Ye Jiayao deliberately returned home early and saw Chunwen instructing the servants to move things. When he saw her, Chunwen ignored her and treated her as nothing.
Ye Jiayao curled her lips and ignored them. It would be better for this family to move away as soon as possible. Out of sight, out of mind.
I heard that Chunfeng knelt until noon before the Marquis allowed him to get up. Anyway, the atmosphere in the mansion was very gloomy.
During dinner, Youshi sent word again that everyone should eat in their own rooms and there was no need to go over.
Song Qi also came to send a message, saying that Chunyu was on duty in the palace and would not be back tonight.
Ye Jiayao couldn't help but feel depressed. Being on duty was an excuse. It was true that he didn't want to come back to face her. A man with such an angry temper was really defeated by him.
The large Hou Mansion suddenly became quiet and deserted, and Ye Jiayao's mood also fell to the bottom. She had not been so depressed for a long time.
In the Liuli room, Xia Chunfeng looked at the pale Liuli lying on the bed, feeling a little guilty. He didn't expect that his rudeness would have such serious consequences. The puddle of blood last night really frightened him.
He just wanted to teach her a lesson and didn't want to hurt her.
Xia Chunfeng stared at her for a while, then stood up, took the red dates and bird's nest porridge on the bedside table, and said harmoniously: "You should eat something, I haven't eaten anything for a day."
Liuli looked away, tears of grievance sliding down the corners of her eyes.
"I'm sorry, there won't be a next time." Xia Chunfeng said in a low voice.
Dad said that women are actually very easy to coax, and if he says a few nice words, she will give up. However, he has never coaxed a woman before, and he wanted to coax such a unruly and willful woman.
But he thought, right is right and wrong is wrong. What he used forcefully last night was wrong. If it was wrong, he would admit it.
Liuli couldn't help but sob softly when she thought about the nightmare experience last night. She also thought about having a good life with Chunfeng, but every time the two of them were together, they would quarrel before they could say more than three sentences. Last night was even worse.
"Liu Li, let's live a good life! Let the past go by. I know I am not the person you like, and I never thought about marrying you, but after all, you have become my wife, and I don't want to quarrel with you. We will be fine for the rest of our lives, okay?"
These are Xia Chunfeng's heartfelt words. He thought a lot after kneeling for a night in the ancestral hall. Before, he was escaping and getting by, but after last night, she truly became his woman. This feeling is so subtle that it is difficult to describe it in words. To describe it, I just feel that I have an extra responsibility in my heart.
Liuli had mixed feelings in her heart. This was the most calming thing Chunfeng had ever said to her. She wanted to live a good life, but could she
Xia Chunfeng said everything that needed to be said, but Liuli didn't respond at all. He sighed helplessly, put the porridge back on the cabinet, stood up to leave, but heard Liuli say in a strong nasal voice: "I'm hungry."
Xia Chunfeng hurriedly helped her up, put her in his arms, and fed her bite by bite.
Today is already the third day. Chunyu hasn't been home for three days, and Ye Jiayao is furious. She asked Song Qi to send the message, but it was in vain.
Doesn't he plan to go home
Everyone in the yard noticed that something was wrong, but they didn't dare to say anything when they saw the second young lady's displeasure.
Qiao Xi said to Jiang Yue in private: "Yue'er, you have to persuade the second young lady that it won't be a problem if this continues."
Jiang Yuewei said: "I don't know how to persuade him!"
Qiao Xi sighed: "The key is, we don't know what the problem between the Second Young Mistress and the Prince is. If the Prince is angry about those rumors, then it's the Prince's fault. We follow the Second Mistress every day, we Still don’t know what kind of person the second young lady is?”
Jiang Yue nodded repeatedly.
"I asked Song Qi to also persuade the prince. This is the only way we can do it. I hope they can reconcile quickly. Otherwise, everyone will feel uncomfortable." Qiao Xi said.
Ye Jiayao only ate a little bit of dinner again, looking absent-minded. Youshi looked at it and sighed secretly. Although this turmoil was so troublesome, Chunfeng and his wife seemed to have made some progress. Mrs. Zhou also moved away. Ordinarily she should be happy. That's right, but something went wrong with Chunyu and Jinxuan again. Jinxuan may not be clear, but she knows that when on duty in the palace, there is no rule of staying on duty for three consecutive days. What on earth is Chunyu doing
"Second daughter-in-law." You called.
Ye Jiayao was stunned for a while before coming back to her senses.
"What is the Heavenly Residence gift box written on your gift list?" Youshi asked softly. She had read the gift list and couldn't find anything wrong with it. It was obvious that the child had put a lot of thought into it.
"Oh, look, I forgot about this. Yue'er, go and get the gift box from my room." Ye Jiayao ordered.
After a while, Jiang Yue came with a gift box.
Ye Jiayao opened the box and introduced: "There are ten kinds of pastries in it. They are all the best-selling and most expensive ones in the pastry room. They have been processed and improved, and the masters of the Jewelry Studio were asked to make golden roosters. There are three different kinds. The specifications include one hundred taels, one hundred and sixty taels, and a handful of eighty taels, and this box is one hundred and sixty taels."
You's pastries are of different colors, and they look good when put together. There is also the gold medal, which is also very delicately made. I weighed it in my hands and found that it weighed seven or eight taels and sold for one hundred and sixty yuan. Two, I guess I can make half of it.
"Tsk, tsk, the second brother and sister are so clever. There must be a lot of people buying this gift box, right?" Mrs. Qiao came over to look at it, very envious.
Ye Jiayao told the truth: "It was just launched yesterday and more than 20 boxes were sold."
Mrs. Qiao smacked her tongue: "How much money do you need to earn from this!"
"This gift box is very good. It looks good and has weight. Let's do it this way. You calculate how much money it is, and I will ask the accountant to give it to you." Youshi was also very satisfied.
Ye Jiayao smiled and said, "I just need some money from my family, one hundred taels per box."
Mrs. Qiao hurriedly said: "Second brother and sister, give me a few boxes too."
"Okay, how many boxes do you want, sister-in-law?"
Mr. Qiao thought about it and said, "Let's get ten boxes first!"
Ye Jiayao said: "These pastries should not be stored for a long time. It is best to eat them within three to five days. Let me know when my sister-in-law wants to give them away and I will bring them back for you."
Mrs. Qiao smiled and said, "That's good."
After settling the matter of the gift box, Youshi deliberately left Ye Jiayao behind. There was no outsider in the room, and then Youshi asked, "Did you and Chunshu get into trouble?"
Ye Jiayao smiled helplessly: "He was a little angry and blamed me for not telling him first, but instead came to find my mother."
Youshi breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be like this, so there was nothing to worry about. She thought Chunyu was doing it because of those rumors.
"Don't be like him. He has the same virtues as his father, but he is as stubborn as a donkey. In fact, he is soft-hearted. If you say a few nice words, he will be soft-hearted." Youshi advised: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon. There are two more people in the family this year, so it should be more lively.”
Ye Jiayao smiled bitterly, even if she wanted to say something nice, she still had to find someone! He won't even come back, let her say it to the wall!
"I'll send someone to call him back tomorrow. Tell him properly." Youshi saw through her thoughts.
"Yes." Ye Jiayao nodded obediently.
Only then did Youshi's eyebrows relax.
At night, Qiao Xi came in with a soup dumpling and saw the second young lady holding her cheek in a daze.
"Second Young Mistress, this servant has put Mrs. Tang into bed. When you rest, please be careful not to burn her."
"Yeah." Ye Jiayao responded absently and continued to be in a daze.
Qiao Xi hesitated for a moment and whispered: "I have been serving the Crown Prince for nearly six years. In these six years, the total number of times I have seen the Crown Prince smile is not as many as the number of times he smiled at the Second Young Mistress in one day. Every day when he comes back, the first thing he asks is to ask the Second Young Madam, is the Second Young Madam back? If the Second Young Madam is here, he will be very happy. If the Second Young Madam is not back, he will be uneasy. After a while, he will ask again, are you back? "
Ye Jiayao was startled for a moment, then she realized that Qiao Xi's meaningless words were trying to persuade her, and she couldn't help but think of what Chunyu said that day... think about how I treat you.
How does he treat her? You probably like it!
Thinking of how every day after the weather turned cold, Chunyu would go into bed first and warm the bed before telling her to have a rest.
Every time she was troubled, he would say, I'm here, why are you worried? Even if the sky falls, I will hold you up.
Every time she came to visit her aunt and was in so much pain that she couldn't sleep, he would rub her belly all night long. When she woke up in the morning, his palm would be on her belly.
Every time she was very tired, he would volunteer to give her a massage. Except for the first time, when his hands were too strong and he couldn't control the intensity, he would do it gently and just right.
He gave her all the income from the house and land deeds at home, and she once joked, "Aren't you afraid that I will abscond with the money?" He always said with a smile, you can't escape my grasp.
In fact, she knew how good he was to her, but that contract was like a knot, entangled in her heart, reminding her all the time that this marriage was just a transaction, so she didn't dare and couldn't make it. out of this heart, even if this heart has already been occupied by him.
