Cute Wife Gourmet

Chapter 184 Flattered
Xia Chunyu raised his eyebrows and said, "It's nothing, just throwing out a bait."

Ye Jiayao was curious: "What bait?"

"Didn't Third Uncle want father to find him a good job? The Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel will retire next year, and the Minister of Personnel has a close relationship with the Helian family." Xia Chunyu said casually.

Ye Jiayao understood that the bait released by Chunyu hit the sore spot of Uncle and Aunt! No wonder they took the initiative to help her get rid of the crime.

"Hmph, I think if your third uncle fills this vacancy, he will die faster, and maybe even bring trouble to the Marquis' Mansion." Ye Jiayao sneered. The Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the assessment and promotion of all officials. It is a truly lucrative position. If such a greedy person is allowed to hold an important position, he will be doomed.

Xia Chunyu deeply agreed with this. He had considered this point a long time ago. His third uncle did not have a very good reputation in Jingzhou. He was known as Xia Bo Pi and was insatiable. Every year, his political performance evaluation was done by using some connections and borrowing the reputation of the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion to get above-average results.

Xia Chunyu sneered: "It was originally a bait, and we can find a reason to push it away when the time comes."

"But you are so bold that you dare to knock Third Aunt down. Even if it was me, I would not dare to be so rude even if I knew Third Aunt was wrong." Xia Chun said in a joking tone without any intention of blaming her. On the contrary, he admired Yaoyao's courage. After this incident, Third Aunt should be more restrained.

Ye Jiayao glared at him: "Do you think I am willing? I can't let my mother be bullied!"

Xia Chunyu smiled, believing that Yaoyao's action would definitely win her mother's heart. With her mother's trust, even if Liuli wanted to embarrass her, she would have to think twice.

Just as he was thinking, Jiang Yue came in and reported: "Master, Second Young Madam, Madam sent Madam Sun over."

Behind Mother Sun was a maid holding a tray in her hands.

"Young Master, Second Young Madam." Mother Sun smiled and bowed.

"Don't be so polite, Madam Sun." Xia Chunyu said.

Mother Sun looked at Ye Jiayao and said with a smile, "Madam asked me to come over to check on the Second Young Madam. She said that she didn't eat much for dinner and must be hungry now, so she asked the kitchen to cook some bird's nest porridge."

Xia Youshi had always been indifferent to her, but suddenly she showed so much concern for her. Ye Jiayao couldn't help but feel flattered. She thought that her performance tonight must have touched Xia Youshi!

"Also, Madam has told you to be busy with your own things and take care of your health. You don't need to come to visit me every morning and evening."

Ye Jiayao wondered if she had heard wrongly. Xia Youshi had very strict rules for managing the household. Qiao had been married for more than three years, and even though she was pregnant, she still had to visit her every morning and evening. And she, to put it bluntly, just helped Xia Youshi to have a fight with someone, and she got this kind of treatment.

Damn, this fight was really worth it, even if she had to kneel in the ancestral hall for a night.

This was not just a bowl of bird's nest porridge or not having to pay respects for a few days, but it meant that Xia Youshi had accepted her from the bottom of her heart.

"Mother Sun, is the Madam okay?" Ye Jiayao was a little worried. In public, the old marquis would definitely protect Youshi, but in private, she was afraid that Youshi would still suffer.

Madam Sun smiled and said, "Madam is doing very well. I haven't seen you so energetic in many years."

Madam is just too concerned about things. She is concerned about the feelings of the Marquis, her own identity, and the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion. That's why every time she has a dispute with Zhou, she loses. But today, the Second Young Lady's actions suddenly enlightened Madam. When dealing with such a scoundrel, the more you fear and tolerate him, the more arrogant he will become.

"That's good, Mother Sun, thank the Madam for me." Ye Jiayao smiled.

After Mother Sun left, Xia Chunyu smiled with an ambiguous smile on his face and looked at her straight.

Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes while drinking the bird's nest porridge: "Go look in the mirror yourself, you don't know how lascivious your smile is."

Xia Chunyu smiled even more happily, with a hint of evil in his voice, and said slowly: "It is said that appearance is determined by the heart, and the situation changes with the heart. Yaoyao, are you hinting to me that tonight, we can..."

Ye Jiayao's heart trembled, and she hurriedly said, "Stop it. I know that your mind is full of messy things."

Xia Chunyu said innocently: "How can this be called a mess? Being with others is called a mess, being with your own wife is called loving."

"You love me, don't you? Can't you let me drink the porridge properly? This is the first time my mother has given me loving porridge. I have to savor it carefully." Ye Jiayao said with a red face.

Xia Chunyu was happy: "Okay, then you can savor it carefully. However, there is one thing I forgot to tell you. Dad said that you don't have to kneel down, but you have to copy the family rules a hundred times."

Ye Jiayao almost choked, her eyes wide open: "What? One hundred times of the house rules?"

She saw the house rules of the Marquis's mansion on the first day she entered the house. Damn, there were sixty-six rules, several pages of paper. If she copied them a hundred times, wouldn't she be punished to death? It was even more severe than the punishment of modern teachers, who had to copy them a hundred times at a time.

Suddenly, she felt that the bird's nest porridge was hard to swallow. Seeing her sad face, Xia Chunyu clenched his fists at his lips and coughed twice: "Well, Dad said to copy it a hundred times, but he didn't say that you have to copy it yourself. In the yard, Jiang Yue, Qiao Xi, and Xiang Tao are all literate..."

Ye Jiayao's eyes lit up again, but she was still nervous: "Is this okay?"

Xia Chunyu shrugged: "It's hard to say. If Dad is in a good mood, I can get away with it. If Dad is in a bad mood, I might take it back and make him copy it 200 times as punishment."

Ye Jiayao deflated like a deflated ball.

"Actually, it's not difficult for you to make your father in a good mood. Just make more delicious food to coax him." Xia Chunyu gave her advice.

Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes, revealing a sly look, and said seriously, "I think cheating is not good! It shows that I am not sincere. It will be bad if Dad thinks that I am a person who cheats. Otherwise, how about this, I will copy a copy, and you find someone to imitate my handwriting, isn't it okay?"

Xia Chunyu was stunned. This woman was really cunning. She even cheated with sincerity.

"Anyway, I'll leave this matter to you. If I don't get through this day, I'll feel uneasy and I won't be in the mood to talk about love." Ye Jiayao said with a crooked mouth.

Xia Chunyu immediately said, "Isn't this a trivial matter? You don't have to copy it, just write a few words, I will definitely do it properly."

Ye Jiayao smiled sweetly: "My husband is still the best."

Xia Chunyu was stunned, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart. It had been a long time since he heard this name. The last time he heard it was on Black Wind Hill. She asked playfully, "Should I call you husband from now on? Grandpa? Husband? Or husband..."

At that time, he thought these names were disgusting. But now he feels that calling him husband is very kind.

In the main room of the Marquis's mansion, Xia Zhuofeng returned to his room, but did not see his wife coming out to greet him. He asked Madam Sun, "Where is your wife?"

Mother Sun pointed towards the inner room.

Xia Zhuofeng took off his coat and handed it to the servant, then went to wash and went into the inner room, where he saw Youshi sitting on the couch looking at the account book. Xia Zhuofeng sat opposite Youshi, who was still looking down at the account book. Xia Zhuofeng coughed twice, expressing his dissatisfaction with Youshi's neglect of him, but Youshi still did not respond.

Uh...he hasn't settled the score with her yet, but she's already showing off.

"Madam." Xia Zhuofeng said majestically.

Yu asked calmly, "What's the matter?" Her eyes were still on the account book.

Xia Zhuofeng reached out and took the account book away: "Let's look at this later. There are some things we need to discuss."

Yu looked at him calmly: "What are you talking about?"

Xia Zhuofeng was surprised by You's reaction. Shouldn't she be upset and crying? How could she be so calm, as if nothing had happened?
"What you did today was extremely inappropriate. After all, your third brother and his family just arrived in the capital. Did you have to be so anxious to make trouble? How embarrassing and awkward." Xia Zhuofeng said.

You Shi smiled slightly: "Your Majesty already knows the cause and process of the incident. Your Majesty, please tell me, what did I do wrong?"

Xia Zhuofeng was speechless for a moment. Yes, he really couldn't find anything wrong with it.

"Even if Zhou is wrong, you can't let the second son's wife speak out. It would be bad if the news gets out." Xia Zhuofeng said.

Youshi said, "This is really my fault. I really shouldn't have let the second son's wife take the lead. I've thought about it. If Zhou dares to act arrogantly again next time, I will personally take action and give her a slap in the face."

Xia Zhuofeng was stunned. Uh, this was not the conclusion he wanted!

"I have been patient for so many years that I am almost injured from it, but no problem has been solved. Instead, Zhou has become more unscrupulous. She dares to attack me just by grabbing a child. Today I finally understand that it is useless to be tolerant when dealing with this shrew. I have to deal with her the same way I did with the second son's wife." Yu said gritting her teeth.

Just as Xia Zhuofeng was about to speak, Youshi said, "And you, don't mention brotherhood to me anymore. If your brother still cared about brotherhood, he wouldn't have done such a shameless thing. Indeed, the old lady told you to take good care of this brother before she died, but your care and indulgence have harmed him instead."

Xia Zhuofeng was displeased: "What you are talking about is irrelevant."

You sneered, "The Marquis has been at the border for many years, so he doesn't know a lot of things. I did hear some rumors. Third Uncle has a very bad reputation in Jingzhou. People call him Xia Bo Pi. I didn't believe it at first, but today the second son's wife said that Zhou had someone secretly transport fifteen carts of things to the new house. The boxes are heavy. Don't expect that the boxes are full of books. If they were books, would they have to be so sneaky? I guess they have more money than us."

Xia Zhuofeng felt a chill down his spine. If this was true, it would be bad, but his third brother didn't seem like that kind of person!
"No matter what the truth is, it will come out sooner or later. I only tell you that if you dare to indulge them again and damage the reputation of the Marquis's Mansion, I will no longer clean up the mess for you. I will take my things back to Hangzhou and let you go with your brother." Yu Shi said resolutely. After that, she got off the couch and went straight to the bathroom.
