Xia Chunyu's every move in the kitchen had already been reported to Ye Jiayao.
After a while, he said: "The prince's hand was cut and there was a lot of blood. The prince didn't even frown."
After a while, he said again: "The prince was burned by boiling oil..."
Ye Jiayao was frightened when she heard this. Is this guy sick? He obviously can't do anything, but he still wants to show off his strength and make himself so embarrassed. Does it make her feel bad or something? She doesn't do this.
"The prince is cutting beef cattle again now and needs to do it again." Xiao Lu reported.
Ye Jiayao couldn't sit still: "Xiao Lu, go and tell the prince that I'm leaving and ask him not to bother."
She can't stay here any longer.
This time, Xia Chunyu's beef stir-fry was quite successful, and he was very happy. Unexpectedly, Xiao Lu heard that the second young lady was gone.
Xia Chunyu was stunned for a moment and asked Zhong Xiang: "What should we do next?"
Ye Jiayao did not take the carriage and asked Song Qi to wait for Chunyu here. She slowly walked aimlessly along the river bank. As she walked, she found herself standing at the door of Laifu Inn.
There is a notice posted on the door. Ye Jiayao went up to look, but it was a transfer notice for the inn.
Uh, why did Brother Du transfer the inn
She was ashamed to say that she had not visited Brother Du and Erniang Li since their marriage. She only asked Song Qi to send some gifts during the holidays. She remembered that when she first arrived in Jinling, thanks to Brother Du and Li Erniang's care, she would always remember this kindness.
Ye Jiayao walked into the store. Brother Du was working on the abacus behind the counter. Xiao Yang was wiping the tables and chairs there. The inn looked deserted.
In my memory, there were many guests in the lobby at this time.
"Brother Du..."
Shopkeeper Du raised his head and was overjoyed to see it was Ye Jiayao. He hurriedly walked out from behind the counter with a smile on his face: "Second Young Mistress, what kind of wind has brought you here today?"
Ye Jiayao smiled and said, "I was passing by, so I came in to see my brother and sister-in-law."
Shopkeeper Du said hurriedly: "Xiao Yang, serve the tea quickly."
The two of them sat down by the window, and Xiao Yang happily served Ye Jiayao a cup of fine Longjing: "Second Young Madam, long time no see."
Ye Jiayao smiled and said, "Yes, I miss you all."
"Eh? Where is sister-in-law? Why don't you see sister-in-law?" Ye Jiayao looked around.
Shopkeeper Du's smile showed a hint of melancholy: "She is packing her things at home, and we are going back to her hometown of Wuzhou."
Wuzhou Prefecture is the modern Jinhua City, some distance from Jinling.
"Why?"
Shopkeeper Du sighed and said: "My father-in-law fell ill at the beginning of the year and was paralyzed in bed. No one is taking care of the family business. My brother-in-law and his family have settled in Hejian Mansion and it is impossible to go back. There is also a brother-in-law who has some problems here..."
Shopkeeper Du said and pointed to his head.
"I am old, sick, and stupid. I have no choice but no one to take care of me. My second wife and I plan to transfer the store and go there."
Ye Jiayao was devastated. All the familiar people left one by one.
He forced a smile and said, "That's what you should go to."
Suddenly he remembered and asked again: "Has this store been transferred out?"
Shopkeeper Du smiled bitterly: "Several people have come to ask and know that we are eager to sell and the price is very low. We can't even get back the money. Forget it, money is something outside the body. If you don't take it with you in life, you won't take it with you in death. I I plan to sign it tomorrow, I can’t wait any longer.”
"What about... Xiao Yang?"
Shopkeeper Du glanced at Xiao Yang, who was cleaning, and said, "He'll still stay in the store. I've made an agreement with the next shop. However, the next shop has to reduce wages, so there's nothing we can do about it."
Ye Jiayao thought, it seems that her wandering here today was arranged by God. If she came one day late, she might not be able to see Brother Du.
Ye Jiayao pursed her lips and said, "Brother Du, why don't you transfer this store to me?"
Shopkeeper Du sneered: "Second Young Madam, I appreciate your kindness..."
Ye Jiayao interrupted him: "No, Brother Du, first of all, this is the first place I stayed in Jinling, and thanks to the care of my elder brother and sister-in-law, I have a lot of affection for this place. Secondly, your place is in a good location. It’s not far from the heavenly residence, so if I come down here, it will indeed be useful.”
Shopkeeper Du hesitated for a moment and said: "If you are really useful, then I will transfer it to you at the price I have agreed with others."
Ye Jiayao smiled and said: "How can that be done? You have already said it. People see you eager to make a move and take the opportunity to lower the price. How can I do such a thing? I will transfer it at your original price. Brother Du, you are not allowed to be polite to me. Before I'm broke, so I can take advantage of you, but now, I'm a rich man, so don't worry about money for me."
Shopkeeper Du was laughed at by her, and he was also cheerful, so he said: "Then I will accept your love for thirty-eight thousand taels, including the deed to the house."
Ye Jiayao said: "Brother Du, please stop coaxing me. In this area, how can 38,000 taels be enough?"
It's not that Ye Jiayao doesn't know the market price. The price of this building alone is at least 40,000 taels.
Shopkeeper Du smiled and said: "That's enough, that's enough. I only spent more than ten thousand when I bought it. Over the years, I have saved some money from this inn. It's enough."
Shopkeeper Du insisted on this price, but Ye Jiayao had no choice but to agree to pay tomorrow.
When Xiao Yang learned that Ye Jiayao had moved to an inn, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth and started working with more energy.
After sitting in the store for a while and chatting about home affairs, Ye Jiayao stood up and left.
When I got home, it was already dark.
Several lanterns hang high in front of the main gate of Jing'an Marquis Mansion, reflecting the solemnity of the red-lacquered copper-nailed gate.
In front of the gate, a tall figure was pacing uneasily.
Is he waiting for her
Ye Jiayao planned to ignore him. But he spotted her immediately and rushed to meet her, looking a little anxious: "Yao Yao, where have you been? You make me so worried."
Ye Jiayao walked in without saying a word. Did she need to explain to him where she was going? When she cares about him, she can do anything for him, when he is her heaven, her earth, her everything, but when she doesn't care, he is nothing.
Xia Chunyu followed step by step.
"Yao Yao, have you eaten?"
Ye Jiayao was silent.
"Yao Yao, can you say something?"
Ye Jiayao continued to be silent.
"Yao Yao, Yaoyao..."
Ye Jiayao walked faster.
Returning to the side room, Xia Chunyu also followed in.
Ye Jiayao said with a cold face: "Why did you come in? There are so many rooms here. If it doesn't work, you still have an outer study."
Xia Chunyu smiled apologetically: "I am where you are."
"If you don't want me to be living on the street so late, just get out of here." Ye Jiayao issued an eviction order without hesitation.
Xia Chunyu's smile froze on her face. After a long time, she said softly: "Mom said, if you come back, go to her place."
Ye Jiayao remained silent with a sullen face.
Xia Chunyu took two steps and then paused: "Also, that Mu Qinchu has been here, and he said, I will do as you say."
Ye Jiayao was stunned for a moment. Did Mu Qi make a decision so quickly
Xia Chunyu didn't ask why Ye Jiayao was looking for Mu Qi. He could guess that Yaoyao would not let Ye Jinrong go this time.
The Wei family is going to be in trouble.
Sigh... It's not just the Wei family who is miserable, he is the one who suffers the most, but he is the one who deserves it the most.
Qiao Xi came in to help her wash up.
Xiangtao brought the food, opened the lid of the bowl, and put down the bowls and chopsticks: "Second Young Madam, you must not have had dinner. Eat something first to fill your stomach!"
Ye Jiayao smelled the fragrance and felt really hungry.
When I walked over and took a look, it was a bowl of egg fried rice and tomato soup.
My heart skipped a beat: "Who did this?"
Xiang Tao stopped talking and looked at Qiao Xi, wondering whether she should tell the truth.
Qiao Xi said warmly: "The prince made it. It was prepared in Heaven, packed in clay pots, brought back with cotton cloth, and kept warm in the pot."
Ye Jiayao looked at this bowl of beef and egg fried rice that looked pretty good, with mixed feelings in her heart. She left Tianshangju just to ask him not to do it, but he continued to do it, and she didn't know how many more injuries it would cause.
Qiao Xi said again: "Second Young Madam, the Crown Prince really knows that he was wrong, please forgive him this time! You didn't see it. When you didn't come back, the Crown Prince stood at the gate as if he had lost his soul. Waiting for you."
Ye Jiayao's heart is also made of meat. Regardless of Chun Yu's status, he has probably never been exposed to cooking fumes in his life, but he went to cook seriously for her. It's not that he is not touched, it's not that he doesn't feel soft-hearted, but she can't.
This incident had a huge impact on her. Once bitten by a snake, she was afraid of ropes for ten years. In some ways, she was cowardly.
"Withdraw, I'm not hungry." Ye Jiayao put down the chopsticks she picked up and said calmly.
Qiao Xi and Xiang Tao looked at each other, and Song Qi said that the prince made this himself. It is unbelievable that the prince cooks the food himself. The prince is so flattering, but the second young lady does not appreciate it at all.
Ye Jiayao went straight to the upper room. After all, she was still the second young mistress of the Hou Mansion, and Youshi was still her mother-in-law. Besides, Youshi was still kind to her, so she had to go.
When she came to the upper room, she saw Xia Chunyu already waiting for her there.
"Yaoyao, Chunfeng and Liuli are also in there." Xia Chunyu said to her first.
Ye Jiayao understood, and it was estimated that Youshi and Chunfeng wanted to intercede for Liuli.
She started to deal with Jin Rong and Jin Yao first, just to see what the attitudes of Youshi and Chunfeng were. If they would give her justice, they would save her trouble. If they wanted to protect Liuli, then she herself to solve.
Her patience with Liuli has reached an intolerable level, and two slaps are far from enough to eliminate the hatred in her heart.
The two entered the Mingtang one after another.
Ye Jiayao turned her eyes slightly, and the old Marquis was actually there, which shocked the giant Buddha.
The expressions of the old Marquis and Youshi were slightly serious.
Chunfeng also had a dark face, and looked at her with complicated eyes.
Liuli kept her head lowered, not daring to look at her, and kept twisting the handkerchief in her hands to cover up her uneasiness.
Ye Jiayao sneered contemptuously in her heart. She was actually looking forward to tonight's show.
Ye Jiayao remained calm, stepped forward, knelt down and saluted: "Jinyao has met her father and mother."
