Chapter 159 Ye Binghuai's Family Offensive

It was not until the evening that Xia Chunyu came to the courtyard.

Ye Jiayao asked with concern: "How is it? Can't you put it off?"

Xia Chunyu shook his head: "How can we refuse? We have already offended the Queen Mother, how can we offend her again? If we really do this, I have no doubt that the Emperor will kill people for the sake of the royal family's reputation."

"Chunfeng must be feeling very bad, right?" Ye Jiayao said sympathetically.

Xia Chunyu sighed helplessly: "Well, but I think he will figure it out."

Ye Jiayao said angrily: "This Queen Mother is really something, why is she targeting your family?"

"I heard that it was Princess Liuli herself who proposed it." Xia Chunyu said.

"She proposed it? I think she is just trying to make things difficult for us and wants to be an eyesore to us." Ye Jiayao said angrily.

"Xia Chunyu, let me ask you, did you and Liuli have that thing?"

Xia Chunyu frowned and asked, "What is it?"

"Does she like you very much?" Ye Jiayao stared at him intently, not missing any subtle changes in his expression.

Xia Chunyu looked a little unnatural: "I don't know what you are talking about."

"Tell me the truth quickly. This is very important to me. I need to figure out whether this is a face issue or an emotional issue." Ye Jiayao said seriously.

If it's just a matter of face, then it's not a big problem. But if it's a matter of feelings, and Liuli likes Xia Chunyu, then it's a big trouble. She will become Liuli's love rival, and this kind of hostility is often endless.

Xia Chunyu's eyes flickered, and he stammered, "I can't really explain it, she just likes to pester me."

"How far have we gotten to?" Ye Jiayao asked.

"What's the point? I didn't pay any attention to her at all."

"really?"

"I could have sworn it."

Ye Jiayao nodded thoughtfully and sighed, "I think your family will soon be in chaos."

Xia Chunyu raised his eyebrows and said, "It's not as serious as you said, right?"

Ye Jiayao curled her lips: "Just wait and see."

"Okay, you don't have to be so dejected. I'll take care of everything for you!" Xia Chunyu comforted her.

Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes at him and raised her chin, "Which eye of yours saw me looking downcast? I am full of fighting spirit now, okay? Morale is very important, you know? If she dares to come and cause trouble for me, I will make her suffer."

Xia Chunyu sneered, "You? Forget it! You have a good brain for business and a sharp tongue. Most people are no match for you, but if you meet someone with a strong background like Liuli, you'll be done for!"

Ye Jiayao raised her eyebrows and said, "If you say so, I'm doomed?"

Xia Chunyu smiled and said, "What I mean is, don't bother with her. If you start to quarrel, Chunfeng will be in trouble again."

"Just be okay for the sake of appearance. If she says anything bad, just ignore it. If she really dares to go too far, I can't agree to it, right?"

Ye Jiayao was too lazy to pay attention to him. Women understand women better. A princess like Liuli, who is very competitive and has never suffered any grievances since childhood, doesn't know how to write the words "keep the peace".

As he was speaking, Jiang Yue came to report: "Master, Sister Yaoyao, there is someone outside who claims to be Sister Yaoyao's biological father and wants to see Sister Yaoyao."

Xia Chunyu and Ye Jiayao looked at each other, wondering how Ye Binghuai could have found their way here.

"I'll deal with him." Xia Chunyu said.

"Wait, I have to face it sooner or later anyway, so I'll go too." Ye Jiayao said.

Ye Binghuai sat in the front hall waiting anxiously. Today, Minister Mu told him that Jinxuan had been found, and she was actually Li Yao, the chef of Tianshangju. Moreover, the emperor had approved the marriage between Jinxuan and Xia Chunyu, which meant that his eldest daughter, who had always been ignored by him, had transformed into the legitimate second young lady of the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion. Not to mention a crow turning into a phoenix, it was also a step to heaven.

He seized the opportunity and went to find Jinxuan as soon as possible. This daughter had always been very filial to him, and he only asked for her forgiveness, so that Xia Chunyu would not embarrass him anymore.

The people in Tianshangju told him that Jinxuan lived here, but he didn't expect Xia Chunyu was also there.

Ye Binghuai was preparing his emotions when a pair of perfect couples came over. "Xuan'er..." Ye Binghuai rushed forward and looked at Ye Jiayao. He was so excited that his hands and lips trembled. He was so moved that in the blink of an eye, two lines of hot tears came down.

Emotional outbursts are well controlled.

Ye Jiayao was horrified. She remembered that when her grandmother passed away, her father, who called himself a filial son, didn't cry so quickly. Tears came out in seconds! Like a faucet turned on and off.

"Lord Ye." Xia Chunyu greeted him indifferently.

Ye Jiayao just bowed slightly and didn't call him dad.

He couldn't shout it out because he didn't deserve it.

"Xuan'er, Dad thought I would never see you again in this life. Thank God, my Xuan'er is back." Ye Binghuai wiped his tears with his sleeve.

"Don't you all hope that I'm dead?" Ye Jiayao said calmly, looking indifferent and distant.

Ye Binghuai was surprised and said, "Xuan'er, how can you say that? Knowing that something happened to you in Shandong, Dad was so worried that he couldn't sleep for several nights."

Ye Jiayao smiled: "Really? What are you worried about? How can you explain to the Fang family? Are you worried that I will suddenly run back to the Ye family? Are you worried that I am dead?"

She smiled, but there was a chill in her smile.

Xia Chunyu sat aside and drank tea, letting the father and daughter talk. Yaoyao needed to vent the grievances in her heart.

"Xuan'er, Dad knows you are angry. Dad doesn't blame you. It's Dad who is sorry for you and failed to protect you. But Dad really didn't expect them to be so bold. Xuan'er, everything is over and they have received the punishment they deserved. Dad promises you that no one will dare to bully you again." Ye Binghuai said sadly.

Ye Jiayao raised the corner of her mouth with a sneer: "I really want to know, if I hadn't met the Marquis of Jing'an, would you still be able to say such heartwarming words to me?"

"Coming back from Jinan, I passed by Yangzhou. I lingered in front of the Ye Mansion for a long time, but I didn't dare to go in. I was thinking, if my father, who always treated me as a transparent person and valued his future, title, and official reputation above all else, saw that I had suddenly returned, would he tie me up, hang me, or drown me in a pond to preserve my reputation and your good name?"

"Xuan'er, how could Dad do this?" Ye Binghuai said sadly.

"You wouldn't? Otherwise, why didn't the government do anything when I was robbed by bandits? Have you ever thought about my life or death? Ye Binghuai, I won't ask you where you were when Ye Ning treated me harshly, I won't ask you where you were when I hit my head against the pillar to commit suicide, I won't ask you where you were when I was suffering in the mountains, I won't ask you where you were when I disguised myself as a man to make a living. I only ask you, after the truth was exposed, did you divorce that vicious woman Ye Ning?" Ye Jiayao said aggressively.

Ye Binghuai was sweating profusely. He had never known that his weak and timid daughter could have such a strong side. Yes, she had accumulated too much resentment in her heart. Now that she had the support of the Marquis of Jing'an, she could naturally be tough.

But Xiuning really made things difficult for him.

"You didn't, are you reluctant to divorce or are you afraid to divorce? Ning is so powerful, she must be holding your lifeline! Ye Binghuai, you don't have to pretend to be a kind father in front of me. I will never enter the Ye family until Ning divorces me. I will never forgive her." Ye Jiayao said forcefully.

"I'm not afraid that you will accuse me of being a traitor. Everyone will judge right from wrong and everyone will question you. Why is this evil woman still doing this? Is there something fishy going on?" Ye Jiayao sneered.

Did he think she was still the weak and helpless Ye Jinxuan? That Ye Jinxuan had died a long time ago. In order to preserve her reputation, she was reborn as Ye Jiayao. She was not a soft persimmon that could be squeezed by anyone. She would repay anyone who treated her well a hundredfold, and would give tit for tat to anyone who wanted to harm her.

Xia Chunyu was worried that Yaoyao would not be able to bear it at first, but was moved by Ye Binghuai's two tears. Now it seems that he was too worried. His Yaoyao can distinguish between good and evil, and is happy to repay kindness and revenge. That's good. He likes such women. Ye Binghuai is definitely not a pushover.

Ye Binghuai's original plan to move her with emotion was completely ruined. Xuan'er's cruelty and coldness were beyond his expectations.

"Xuan'er, do you think dad doesn't hate Ning? If it weren't for her, this family wouldn't have become what it is today. I still believed in her so much, but after all, she is still the mother of Zhongyuan and Jinxiu. They are still young and can't live without a mother. Xuan'er, dad has already taught her a lesson severely, and she knows she was wrong and won't dare to do it again. Just think of it as pity for your younger siblings..." Ye Binghuai said kindly.

"Haha, I feel sorry for them, but who feels sorry for me? To put it bluntly, Jinrong was led astray by Ning. If you want Zhongyuan and Jinxiu to become like Jinrong, just keep Ning. I don't care." Ye Jiayao sneered.

"Let me think about this matter slowly. Dad came here today, firstly to see if you are okay, and secondly, for your marriage. You can't be without your family, right?" Ye Binghuai said flatteringly.

"Who said I don't have any family? The Fang family is my family." Ye Jiayao said.

Xia Chunyu interrupted, "Master Ye, don't worry about this matter. The old princess of the Helian Palace has already recognized Jinxuan as her adopted granddaughter. At that time, the Helian Palace will be Jinxuan's natal family."

Ye Binghuai gasped. It was true what he said about Jinxuan's rapid rise to fame. Now, she had become Prince Helian's sworn sister.
No, I must repair my relationship with this daughter.

"Lord Xia has made painstaking arrangements, and I am very grateful. With Lord Xia and the Helian Palace taking care of Xuan'er, I have nothing to worry about. However, I am Xuan'er's father after all, so how can I sit idly by and watch such an important marriage? I will prepare Xuan'er's dowry, and I will make sure that she gets married in style."

"No need." Ye Jiayao said coldly: "There are plenty of people who can buy my dowry for me, so you don't need to worry about it."

You think you can buy her heart with a few loads of dowry, so that you can legitimately call yourself the father-in-law of the Marquis of Jing'an? No way. I don't care about your little belongings.

"In a word, as long as Ning is in the Ye family, I will not recognize anyone in the Ye family."
