Cute Wife Gourmet

Chapter 160 Provoking trouble
Ye Binghuai was disappointed and left the courtyard in dismay.

Xia Chunyu sneered: "I guess he will come uninvited when the time comes."

Ye Jiayao said nonchalantly: "Let him be, I won't pay any attention to him even if he comes."

"I didn't realize you were so determined."

"Are you insulting me? Or are you praising me?" Ye Jiayao glanced at him.

Xia Chunyu pinched her nose, his eyes soft and full of doting: "I support you."

When Ye Binghuai returned to Wei's house, he slumped in his chair, holding his forehead and thinking hard.

Jinxuan's attitude was more resolute than he expected. She had really changed, to the point where he could hardly recognize her.

Ning came over and knew from his expression that things were not done well. She smiled coldly and said sarcastically, "Why? Your own daughter doesn't recognize you?"

Ye Binghuai glanced at her with disgust. Isn’t it because of you?

"Why are you glaring at me? I've seen through it a long time ago. Jinxuan is not a good girl. She acted well-behaved and docile before. She is very scheming! She hid herself and asked the prince to help her. She is trying to kill us step by step! She shows no mercy at all. Now she has married a rich family. The Ye family is nothing to her." Ning said sarcastically.

Ye Binghuai snorted coldly: "How dare you say such sarcastic remarks here? If you hadn't allowed Rong'er to harm her, you wouldn't be in this situation today."

Ning sneered, "Yes, if it weren't for Liu Jiang, would she have met the prince? Would she have been able to climb this high branch? Speaking of which, she should thank us!"

Ye Binghuai was too lazy to listen to her nonsense and got up to go to the study.

Ning rolled her eyes and went to her daughter's room.

"Mom, Dad is back? What's the matter?" Ye Jinrong had severe morning sickness these past two days and was bedridden.

Ning said fiercely: "What else can I say? That bitch just wants your father to divorce me."

Ye Jinrong asked worriedly, "Will Dad..."

Ning sneered, "He dares. Little bitch, she is still too young to bring me down!"

Ye Jinrong was not so optimistic: "She has the support of the prince! She has caused me and Liu Jiang so much harm. I really hate why I didn't kill her with my own hands and leave such a disaster behind."

"There's still a long way to go. Why are you in such a hurry? I will get back for you all the harm she did to you." Ning gritted her teeth.

"By the way, your father-in-law will be back in two days, what are you and Liu Jiang going to do?"

Ye Jinrong said depressedly: "My father-in-law asked Liu Jiang to go back with him."

"What are you going to do? Your father-in-law is now venting his anger on you. If you go back to Jinan with Liu Jiang, will you still have a good life in the future?"

"That's what I'm worried about. I was telling Liu Jiang that since we can't take the imperial examination anyway, we might as well stay in Jinling or go back to Yangzhou. With my uncle's connections, we can find some job to make a living. Anyway, I don't want to go to Jinan." Ye Jinrong said worriedly.

"Your idea is right. If you can't refuse, just say you are not feeling well and put it off for now. We can see what to do later." Ning said.

"Madam, the eunuch from last time is here again." Xia He came in to report.

Ye Jinrong looked at her mother: "Mom, what should I do? I'm a little afraid of that princess."

Ning thought for a moment and smiled sinisterly: "I'll go."

This time Liuli did not summon him to the palace, but instead found a secluded teahouse.

Xiaoya came in to report: "Young Madam Wei is ill, and it is her mother, Ye Ning, who is here."

Liuli sneered, "It would be better if her mother comes, please ask her to come in."

When Ye Ning entered the room, she knelt down and bowed to greet Princess Liuli.

Liuli glanced at her calmly. Ye Ning, with her drooping eyes and high cheekbones, looked calm and composed. Her eyes were shrewd and calculating. She looked like a powerful character. She said in a gentle voice, "Sit down!"

Ye Ning calmly sat down and said, "What instructions do you have, Princess?"

"It's not an order, I just have something to ask you." Liuli smiled.

"Princess, please ask. I will tell you everything I know."

"Let me ask you, do you know that Ye Jiayao is Li Yao?"

"I just heard about it."

"So, do you know whether she has ever lost her memory?"

"Amnesia?" Ning laughed: "Princess, do you believe it?" Liuli's eyes fixed: "So, she didn't lose her memory?"

Ning sneered, "Princess, let me tell you this, Ye Jinxuan is definitely not a simple person. She was cunning and cunning at home. She relied on the fact that she was the eldest daughter and had the support of the Fang family to bully her younger brothers and sisters. If I hadn't suppressed her, she would have turned the tables. She hated me. She hated me since I married into the Ye family. She hated me for taking her father away. I guess it was the Fang family who instilled this idea in her."

Liuli believed Ning's words without hesitation. She had seen how powerful Li Yao was and he was indeed full of tricks.

"Moreover, she is quite good at seducing men, otherwise, why didn't the second in command of the mountain stronghold kill her? In just a month, she won the heart of the prince and was willing to be used as a gun by her. I have no doubt that she was the one making the plans behind the scenes and the prince came forward to settle them for her. Amnesia, you must be kidding!" Ning already knew that Liuli was going to marry the prince, and took the opportunity to sow discord.

Liuli bit her lip, her eyes suddenly filled with cruelty. She knew that things were not that simple. If Ye Jinxuan hadn't intervened, Brother Chunyu would not have refused to marry her. It was Ye Jinxuan who snatched Brother Chunyu away, making her a laughing stock.

"Now, she is very proud. She has avenged her sister and made her into a half-human. The prince relied on his power to force Wei Liujiang to admit that he had colluded with the bandits. I didn't expect her to be so cruel. I admit the loss, but there is nothing I can do. We are of low status and cannot defeat the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion or her, the second young lady of the Marquis' Mansion. But, Princess, I feel sorry for you. After all, this position originally belonged to you." Ning continued to coax.

Liuli said bitterly: "She shouldn't be too proud too soon. It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Let's wait and see."

Ning sneered in her heart, Ye Jinxuan, do you really think that no one can deal with you?

In a blink of an eye, the wedding was only three days away. Ye Jiayao followed the rules and moved into Prince Helian's Mansion in advance.

The old ancestor liked her very much, especially after hearing about her and Chunyu, she felt that this child was to her liking, independent and self-reliant, and a good cook. She sent her delicious food every now and then. She repeatedly told Yide to prepare well for her, just like marrying off her own daughter.

Yi De was quite generous and actually prepared sixteen loads of dowry for Ye Jiayao. Together with the thirty-six loads sent by the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion and the sixteen loads sent by the Fang family, there were a total of sixty-four loads of dowry, which was one of the most magnificent things in Jinling City.

This made Ye Jiayao feel embarrassed. She gladly accepted what the Fang family gave her without any burden, after all, it was her maternal grandparents' home. But the generosity of the Helian Palace really made her feel uneasy.

"Miss, this is the dowry our ancestors gave you." Cui Yan brought over a box.

Ye Jiayao opened it and saw that it was full of precious jewelry. She said hurriedly, "Grandfather, you have already given me a lot. I can't take this."

The old man smiled and said, "They are not valuable. I wore them when I was young. I have always wanted Xuan'er and Xiaojing to have a sister so that I can give them these things. Now that you are here, I have made my wish come true."

Yide smiled and said, "Take it. I dare not refuse the gift from the elder."

Xiao Jing deliberately pouted and said, "Since Jinxuan came, the old ancestors no longer care about me and only care about Jinxuan."

The old ancestor said with a smile: "Why are you jealous? Your wife's share is reserved for you by the old ancestor!"

Xiao Jing glanced at Ye Jiayao and blushed, "Why would I marry a wife? You should let my brother find one first!"

Helian Xuan glared at him: "You are the one who is jealous, don't involve me."

The old ancestor said, "Hurry up, both of you. Chunyu is getting married, and Chunfeng will also be getting married soon. You two are the only ones who are not in a hurry. When I die, I will give all my belongings to Jinxuan, and you can cry."

"Forget it. If I have to marry someone I don't like like Chunfeng, I would rather not marry at all." Xiao Jing said with a pout.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yi De hurriedly scolded him. He shouldn't say such things casually.

Chunyu's refusal of marriage has already made the Queen Mother very embarrassed. If she hears that Chunfeng dislikes Liuli, she will be really angry.

"That's right!" Xiao Jing was very dissatisfied with the Queen Mother's behavior. Chunfeng was like a sick chicken these past few days, not to mention how pitiful he was.

Seeing that Yi De was about to scold again, Ye Jiayao quickly changed the subject and said with a smile: "Grandfather, may you live a long life and have great-grandchildren!"

The old ancestor smiled and sighed, "I can't expect a great-grandson for a while, but a great-great-grandson will come soon."

Ye Jiayao considered herself to be thick-skinned, but she couldn't help but blush when she heard the old man's words. She and Chunyu were in a contractual marriage, and children were not in the contract. Maybe Chunyu didn't even want them. However, her and Chunyu's children would definitely be very beautiful. No matter who they looked like, they would definitely be cute babies.

Yide sighed, "At the beginning, the prince and Lord Xiahou said that they would definitely marry their children to each other in the future. In the end, they all gave birth to sons. Otherwise, they wouldn't have to worry about marriage."

Then she said to her two sons with a stern face, "Hurry up, Xuan'er, find a wife for our ancestor by next year at the latest. Otherwise, I will make the decision myself."

Helian Xuan held his forehead with his hand: "Mom, if I just find one for you, would you like it?"

"Yes, we are already grown up, how can we still choose?"

"You are so casual." Helian Xuan sneered.

Xiao Jing started to make fun of him: "Brother, I want to take you as an example. When you get married, I will consider it when I am your age."

Yide laughed and scolded: "Why don't you try it?"

Everyone laughed.

Ye Jiayao really likes the atmosphere of the Helian family. The old ancestor is kind and loving, Yi De is not as difficult to deal with as Xia Youshi, and the family lives in harmony. If a girl from that family is lucky enough to marry Helian Xuan or Helian Jing in the future, it will be a blessing.
