Cute Wife Gourmet

Chapter 174 If you have any problem, come to me

As soon as Xia Chunyu got off work, he was called by Xia Youshi. The more Xia Youshi thought about this matter, the more she felt it was inappropriate. This was not only about Ye Jiayao's matter, but also involved the entire Marquis' Mansion.

Today, Liuli relies on the Queen Mother to order whoever she wants to cook to cook, and tomorrow whoever she wants to serve tea and water will do so. Is she allowing her to do whatever she wants?
After hearing this, Xia Chunyu smiled coldly, "Mother, go to the palace tomorrow and tell them that Jinxuan has agreed. Not only that, Jinxuan will cook and I will serve the dishes. You two elders will serve tea to Liuli, and Chunfeng will massage her waist and back. You must treat Liuli as the queen mother and serve her. You will never dare to use the three obediences and four virtues or the house rules of the Marquisate to restrict her. Let everyone know how sincere our Marquisate is to welcome this princess."

Damn it, you actually dared to make things difficult for my woman. If I could tolerate this, I wouldn’t be Xia Chunyu.

Xia Youshi gasped. She had to say that Chunyu was a good general. If the Queen Mother didn't want Liuli's reputation to be completely ruined, she would have rescinded her order. If she insisted on doing it, she would be condemned by the world.

"If mother doesn't dare to say it, you can ask Princess Yi De to help. If we let them succeed this time, there will be endless troubles. Let alone others, Chunfeng will be the first one to have a hard time." Xia Chunyu said.

Xia Youshi's eyes were stern: "After dinner, I will go to Prince Helian's Mansion."

It is definitely not a good thing when the husband's authority is weak and the wife's authority is too strong.

Xia Chunyu returned to the courtyard. As soon as he entered the yard, he was stunned for a moment. He saw a wall in front of him and then he remembered that Yaoyao wanted to make a small kitchen.

"The Young Master is back?" Qiao Xi came forward.

"Where's the Second Young Madam?"

"Inside the room, the Young Master...the Second Young Madam seems to be in a bad mood." Qiao Xi said.

Xia Chunyu nodded. It would be strange if he was in a good mood.

"Yaoyao..." Xia Chunyu called out when he entered the room, but there was no response. He went straight to the inner room and saw her lying on the bed.

"Yaoyao, get up, it's time for dinner." Xia Chunyu shook her shoulders.

"I'll lie down for a while." Ye Jiayao said lazily. She didn't say that she had no appetite. Even if she had no appetite, she still had to go to eat, otherwise Xia Youshi would say that she was insincere.

Xia Chunyu simply lay down, put his arm around her waist and said, "Mother has already told me, don't worry about this matter, don't spoil her. Even if a legitimate princess marries, she wouldn't dare to act like her, so who is she? If it weren't for the Seventh Prince's face, my father wouldn't care whether you are a princess or not, he would have kicked you out long ago."

Ye Jiayao turned around and said, "This is not good! It will embarrass my mother. Really, I just feel a little uncomfortable. It's nothing to worry about once I figure it out."

Xia Chunyu hugged her tenderly, resting his chin on her smooth forehead, stroking it gently, and said softly but firmly: "This is not just your problem. If she can embarrass you today, she can embarrass others tomorrow. Then there will be no peace in your family in the future. Besides, you are my wife, Xia Chunyu. Unless you are willing, I will never agree to anyone who wants to force you to do something you don't want to do. Come to me first if you have any problems."

Ye Jiayao was moved. These were the most beautiful words of love she had ever heard. There were no vows of eternal love, but a man was willing to stand in front of you, to block the collapse of the sky for you, to support you from the collapse of the earth, to be your strong support and solid backing. That was enough, really enough.

Ye Jiayao whispered, "I was just thinking about Chunfeng. If it weren't for us, Chunfeng wouldn't have to marry Liuli. Maybe he would have met the woman of his dreams and lived in love with her for the rest of his life. However, his life has completely changed because of us. I often wonder if Chunfeng will still be happy? He is a simple person like Xiaojing. I really think he deserves a true love and a perfect marriage, instead of being tied to a woman he doesn't love for the rest of his life..."

Xia Chunyu was silent for a long time: "Some things are destined."

There is another feeling hidden in my heart, so, like you and me, we are so lucky to finally be together after going through hardships. So, we should cherish it.

Ye Jiayao wanted to say that, in fact, the saddest thing for people is to accept their fate, and the most helpless thing is that it is destined. But this is not the modern era, and freedom of marriage is nonsense. No matter how strong the heart is, it will appear fragile under the pressure of the feudal mountains.

"Third Young Master, Third Young Master... Please wait a moment, let me report back." Cherry's urgent call came from outside.

Xia Chunyu hurriedly got up, and Ye Jiayao also got up and tidied her clothes.

Xia Chunfeng rushed in, angrily, muttering: "What kind of marriage is this? I won't get married. I'd rather become a monk."

Ye Jiayao glanced at Xia Chunyu and said, "I'll go make some tea."

Let Chunyu do some ideological work for Chunfeng.

Xia Chunyu pushed his third brother down on the chair and said, "You are about to get married, but you are still so impatient. You need to change your temper."

Xia Chunfeng said angrily, "What am I going to change? I'm almost mad. What the hell, she even wants Second Sister-in-law to cook for her. After this time, will there be a next time? Could it be that she wants Second Sister-in-law to be her cook in the future?"

"Forget about the rest, but if she doesn't respect my family, there's no room for negotiation. No matter if you're a royal or jade branch, I'll still divorce you even if you marry me."

Xia Chunyu nodded and said, "It's good to be brave, and it's also right to put family ties above all else, but the way to solve the problem can't be too simple and crude. Liuli is special after all. If something goes wrong, it will affect the whole family." "Then what do you say we should do? I will never agree to let my second sister-in-law take charge." Xia Chunfeng said.

Xia Chunyu sneered: "If you don't agree, I won't agree either! Be patient, mother will take care of this matter."

Xia Chunfeng doubted, "My mother is actually a coward. Would she dare to confront the Queen Mother? I don't hold out hope."

"Then you have misjudged our mother. Our mother is not afraid of trouble. She just has to consider the face of the Marquis' Mansion and keep things peaceful. Once she feels that her dignity is challenged and the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion is threatened, she can do anything." Xia Chunyu said calmly.

"Don't worry. If mother can't do it, we still have father. If father can't do it, we still have me! I don't believe that the empress dowager is really so foolish." Xia Chunyu patted his shoulder comfortingly.

The atmosphere at dinner was gloomy and depressing. Everyone ate in silence, and no one spoke. The old marquis put down his chopsticks after eating a few bites and left.

Xia Youshi got up and followed. Without the presence of the elders, Qiao Shi said sarcastically, "It's not a big deal. What's the big deal about cooking a meal? You are being so pretentious and making the whole family uneasy."

Oh, this is directed at her!

Ye Jiayao was about to retort. Xia Chunyu smiled and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, I'm a little short of money recently. You said you would only lend me the 10,000 taels of silver for one month, but it's been more than two months. When will you pay it back?"

Under normal circumstances, he would never go to collect the debt even if he was beaten to death, but the sister-in-law said that Yaoyao just couldn't do it, and Yaoyao was right in this matter.

Qiao immediately shut up and nudged Xia Chunli, who was pretending to be deaf and dumb, with her elbow. Xia Chunli said, "Business in the embroidery workshop is not very good. I will pay you back after a while when I have some income."

Xia Chunfeng sneered, "Didn't my sister-in-law always say that her business is booming in front of my mother? Is she just bragging?"

Mrs. Qiao looked embarrassed: "It's all your eldest brother's fault. He always brings back broken stones. We are almost losing all our wealth because of him."

"Really? I heard that the strange stones collected by eldest brother were sold at a high price, otherwise how did those lands and shops come from? Could it be that eldest sister-in-law took out all the treasures in the bottom of the box?" Xia Chunfeng was very unhappy. Usually he respected her as his eldest sister-in-law, so he would endure it even if he didn't like it. But today he didn't want to endure it.

We are all family, why are you talking so lightly? After all, the second sister-in-law made delicious food for everyone when she came home. He was going to get married, and the second sister-in-law took the initiative to take care of all the wedding banquet and expenses. What did the eldest sister-in-law have? She didn't even give a purse, and she was from the Qiao family! What a waste of a unique skill.

Qiao's face turned pale and blue. Why were they all coming for her? Was she wrong? She was mocked by her brother-in-law, but Chunli didn't even say a word to help. He just ate and ate by himself. I hope you won't die if you don't eat.

Mrs. Qiao gave Xia Chunli an angry look, slammed the bowl on the table, and got up and left.

Ye Jiayao curled her lips. The discomfort in her heart became less of a problem after Chunyu and Chunfeng's protection.

This home is still full of love!
"Let's eat. Don't be unhappy about such a small thing. I will make something delicious for father and mother later." Ye Jiayao said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, the cake you made is so delicious, but it's a pity that mother only gave me a small piece." Chun Guo said with blinking eyes, her bright black eyes filled with desire.

"Cake? What cake? Why haven't I seen it before?" Xia Chunyu asked curiously.

Ye Jiayao ignored him and said to Chun Guo, "That cake is very difficult to make. However, if you can memorize all the Analects, my second sister-in-law will make it for you. I will make as much as you want."

Chun Guo said excitedly: "Second sister-in-law must keep her word."

Ye Jiayao sneered: "When has my sister-in-law ever lied to you?"

Chun Guo immediately started eating rice in big mouthfuls. The nurse beside him reminded him, "Fourth Young Master, please eat slowly. Don't choke."

Chun Guo said vaguely: "I have to recite my lessons after I finish eating."

Xia Youshi took Mother Sun out and went straight to Prince Helian's mansion.

Yi De was surprised when he heard this: "Is this the Queen Mother's intention or Liu Li's? This is too inconsiderate."

Xia You said sadly, "No matter whose idea it was, it was the Queen Mother who said it. Jinxuan is a sensible child and agreed without saying anything. But I think it's not right. The most prominent and prestigious people in Jinling City came to Chunfeng and Liuli's wedding banquet. If it gets out that my brother-in-law is getting married and my second sister-in-law is cooking, people who don't know will think that our Jing'an Marquis Mansion treats our daughter-in-law harshly! If people know, what will they think of Liuli? They will say that she is spoiled because of her favor. It's not a good thing to hear anyway."
