Cute Wife Gourmet

Chapter 156 You are cruel

"Why are you glaring at me?" Ye Jiayao glared back.

"How did you talk in the Zichen Palace before? Do you really want to get me out?" Xia Chunyu's eyes were dark and his voice was low and cold.

So it was because of this. Ye Jiayao curled her lips in disapproval: "You were never mine in the first place. The worst that can happen is that the contract will be void. Why would I risk my life for you?"

Idiot, can't you hear that I'm saying the opposite of what I mean?
Xia Chunyu's breathing was difficult and he felt that all the air vents in his sea of ​​blood were blocked.

Before he could question her, Ye Jiayao poked him: "Hey, you acted really well in front of the emperor. Even I almost believed it. Chunyu, is this a necessary skill to serve the emperor?"

Xia Chunyu almost vomited blood.

Is he acting? He really put his head on the belt, speaking from the heart, how come it became acting when it reached her ears?

"Ye Jinxuan, you are so cruel." Xia Chunyu said viciously.

"Why am I cruel? If I were cruel, would you bully me? Back then, at Heifenggang, I was so anxious to find you, but what did you say? I fell into Yanxia Lake, the water was so cold, my legs cramped, and I almost drowned in the lake." Ye Jiayao pouted aggrievedly.

As soon as she mentioned this, Xia Chunyu was like a deflated ball, unable to vent any anger, and had to comfort her: "I told you it was a misunderstanding, don't think about it anymore."

"How can I not think about it? I feel uncomfortable when I think about it. Xia Chunyu, I tell you, if you dare to bully me again in these two years and eight months, I will settle all the old and new accounts together." Ye Jiayao warned him fiercely.

Xia Chunyu was speechless. He hadn't even entered the door yet, but he had to follow rules. This was really outrageous.

"Am I that kind of person? Seriously, my father has a good impression of you. My mother is a good person in every other way, but she attaches great importance to family background. If she says something unpleasant, you should be tolerant and don't take it to heart." Xia Chunyu informed her first, in case she would act like she was insulting the emperor again. His mother was not that good-tempered.

Ye Jiayao said: "It's not like I haven't seen your mother before, okay, I know."

Soon, the carriage arrived at the marquis's mansion and Xia Chunyu helped her get off.

"Go to my room and change your clothes first!"

"To your room?"

"Then where do you want to go?" Xia Chunyu raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

"Okay! Your house is my house, at least for these years." Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes indifferently.

The last time Ye Jiayao came to the Marquis's Mansion, she only visited the outer study, but today she went deeper. Looking left and right, the style of this Marquis's Mansion is no worse than that of Prince Helian's Mansion.

"The third courtyard on the east side is my eldest brother's yard, the one behind it is Chunfeng's, and the one behind that is my fourth brother's. Two concubines live on the west side. Chunfeng and I are from the same mother. My eldest brother was born to concubine Wei, and my fourth brother is eleven years old this year, and he is born to concubine Gui..." Xia Chunyu introduced as he walked.

"Your family only has sons, no daughters?" Ye Jiayao asked.

Xia Chunyu smiled and said, "I have a daughter. She is my eldest brother's first child. She is only two years old. Her nickname is Dani and her maiden name is Xia Ziyuan."

I'm still here with Xia Ziwei! Well, it should be a good thing that there is no sister-in-law. Sisters-in-law are usually more difficult to serve. Besides, there is only one sister-in-law in the family. Chunfeng is still young, the same age as her, and she should not get married so soon. As for the aunt, there is even less to be afraid of, because there is Xia Youshi to suppress her. The wife and the concubine will never be able to breathe through the same nostril. They are mortal enemies.

Ye Jiayao analyzed in her mind that there were not many women, and the key was to deal with Xia Youshi and the eldest sister-in-law. The specific situation needed further evaluation.

Xia Chunyu's courtyard was the last one in the center, next to the garden, with an elegant environment. The old marquis lived in the front.

"Qiao Xi, take the Second Young Madam to change her clothes." Xia Chunyu instructed a girl of medium height, oval face and fair skin.

The girl smiled and knelt down to salute: "Second Young Madam, please follow me."

Xia Chunyu nodded to Ye Jiayao: "Hurry up, don't keep your parents waiting for too long."

Sweat, how strange, I have to call a pair of strangers my parents. Ye Jiayao followed Qiao Xi into the house. Xia Chunyu also went to change his clothes. He was sweating all over, it was all because of being scared!

Qiao Xi and two little maids served Ye Jiayao together.

The little girl opened the closet and saw it was full of clothes. They were obviously brand new and all in light and elegant colors.

"Second Young Madam, which one do you like to wear?" asked the little girl.

Ye Jiayao pointed at the mauve suit and said, "Let's take this one!"

Bring the little girl's lilac dress over.

Ye Jiayao asked her: "What's your name?"

"Slave Cherry."

"Cherries? Cherries for eating?"

"Yes, my original name was Cuihua, but the prince changed it because he thought it sounded ugly, saying that the Second Young Madam would definitely like this name." Cherry looked at the Second Young Madam hesitantly.

Ye Jiayao saw her small face, which was white and tender, pink and rosy, and really looked like an attractive cherry. She smiled and said, "Well, I like this name." Otherwise, if she called Cuihua every day, she would think of serving sauerkraut, which was too unsophisticated.

When Cherry heard the Second Young Madam say that she liked it, she smiled happily.

"What about you? What's your name?" Ye Jiayao asked the person who was helping her choose jewelry.

"My name is Shi Liu."

Phew... Ye Jiayao couldn't help but laugh out loud, the real-life version of Sister Pomegranate!

"Second Young Madam, do you think my name is not nice?" Shi Liu asked somewhat depressed.

"No, no, it sounds good. Pomegranate, not bad, it reminds me of an old friend." Ye Jiayao said with a smile. "Second Madam, Cherry and Pomegranate are the newly bought maids of the prince. They will serve you in the future. I will teach them well." Qiao Xi helped Ye Jiayao button up her dress.

"Aren't you the one serving me?" Ye Jiayao asked.

Qiao Xi smiled and said, "I will obey the orders of the Young Master and the Second Young Madam. If I can serve the Second Young Madam, I will be more than happy."

Well, she is a sweet-talker and knows how to judge the situation.

"I just arrived and am not familiar with the people and things in the mansion. Let's make a decision after a while!" Ye Jiayao said. She should be more cautious with these senior maids. She would not easily agree without knowing their background.

"There are not many maids in the courtyard. There are only the maidservant and Xiangtao serving in the room. There are four more outside, Caiwei, Cailan, Qingwen and Yexue. They have all served in the Marquis' Mansion for many years. Only Yingtao and Shiliu are new..." Qiao Xi introduced, tidied up her clothes, and combed Ye Jiayao's hair.

I have to say that Qiao Xi's hands are very deft. Her hair becomes very obedient in her hands and can be combed any way she wants. Unlike Ye Jiayao, she can't even comb her hair smoothly into a high bun.

Looking at herself in the diamond-shaped mirror, Ye Jiayao couldn't recognize herself. Is this... still her? Her hair was in a bun with a phoenix hairpin inserted diagonally, and the pearl tassels were swaying, the pearl light was flowing, and her skin was as white as snow. She also had a pair of pearl earrings on her ears. It is said that pearls are the best companion for women. As expected, no wonder so many famous women in the world like to wear pearls, which are noble and elegant.

"Are you ready?" Xia Chunyu walked in.

"Almost done." Ye Jiayao stood up and turned around, smiling brightly: "What do you think?"

There was a gleam of surprise in Xia Chunyu's eyes. This was the first time he saw her carefully dressed up. Her eyes were as clear as spring water and her face was as delicate as jade and more beautiful than flowers.

Xia Chunyu looked around, walked to the window, and picked a pink camellia.

"come over."

"What? You're not going to put flowers on my head?" Ye Jiayao thought it was too exaggerated, but still walked over.

Xia Chunyu just wanted to give her a flower. She was already very beautiful, but a little too plain.

Xia Chunyu became more and more satisfied as he looked at her. He took her hand and said, "You can go now."

Ye Jiayao felt uncomfortable with a big flower on her head: "Can you take the flower off?"

"No."

"Why not? This is my head."

"Your head is for me to see. Women dress to please themselves, you know?"

“Are you a self-pleaser?”

"Isn't it? Don't wear men's clothes anymore. I like seeing you like this."

Ye Jiayao was about to roll her eyes.

He said, "Don't roll your eyes."

Ye Jiayao wanted to glare at him.

"No staring."

Ye Jiayao smiled with her eyes curved.

"That's right, that's it. That's how you act like a gentle woman." Xia Chunyu said

Tch! Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes at him.

Xia Youshi was getting a little impatient waiting: "Didn't they say they were already here? What are they doing now? We still have to wait for them. This is not right."

Old Marquis Xia Zhuofeng drank tea leisurely and said slowly: "Why are you in such a hurry? She is not in a hurry to go out. She has to dress up before coming to see you, her future mother-in-law. If she comes here in a sloppy manner, you will definitely despise her."

"You only know how to speak for her. I haven't even entered the door yet! Do I have no status?"

The old marquis' eyes widened: "How is it possible? You are the mistress of this mansion, you have a high status, who can be stronger than you?"

Xia Youshi spat at him and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years. Your hair has turned a lot greyer and your tongue has become more and more rude."

"I am telling the truth from the bottom of my heart." The old marquis chuckled.

"Master, Madam, the prince is here." The maid came in to report.

Xia Youshi quickly gathered her hair, straightened her clothes, sat upright, and acted like a mother-in-law.

Although she already has a wife, that son is not her biological son, so the feeling is different, there is always a layer of separation that doesn't reach her heart. Now that her biological son is getting married, she has to treat it seriously.

Ye Jiayao followed Xia Chunyu into the main hall.

"The son pays his respects to his father and mother."

The word "daughter-in-law" stuck in Ye Jiayao's throat for a moment, but she said, "Jinxuan pays respects to uncle and aunt."

Xia Youshi was a little surprised. She had originally planned to give Ye Jiayao a warning. If she called herself a daughter-in-law, she would say... you haven't officially married yet, so this title is inappropriate. But she didn't fall for it.

"No need to be polite, get up quickly." Xia Zhuofeng saw Ye Jiayao dressed like this, and thought to himself, wow, how come she suddenly became so much prettier? It's true that clothes make the man, and gold makes the Buddha. Chunyu, this kid, is so lucky.
