Chapter 192 The bad guy complains first

Ye Jiayao glanced at Chunfeng who was still angry, and felt very sad. Poor Chunfeng, is he going to have to live with quarrels like this for the rest of his life?
Xia Chunyu said: "Yaoyao, accompany Second Aunt to have a cup of tea. Big brother, please accompany Second Uncle to have a rest."

Chunli was happy to accompany the rich man. He was very happy.

Zhou angrily dragged Chunsi away and said, "Let's go. It's disgusting to see these people."

Qiao actually wanted to take the opportunity to please Princess Liuli, but the situation was unclear now, so she should wait and see before making a decision.

Soon, only Chunyu, Chunfeng and Liuli were left in the Mingtang.

Chunyu walked over, looked at Liuli, and asked, "When you say these words, do you really mean it?"

Liuli used to be afraid of Chunyu and didn't dare to act unruly in front of him, but now the people she hates the most are Chunyu and Ye Jiayao.

"What I think has nothing to do with you?" Liuli said coldly.

"Of course it matters. You are marrying my third brother." Xia Chunyu had been holding back his anger for a long time, and couldn't help but lecture him: "Do you think you can justify yourself by citing the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects? You should obey your father at home and your husband after marriage. Don't you understand this principle? Didn't the Queen Mother teach you? No matter where you go, you are wrong about what happened today. Now that your father and mother are going to enter the palace, do you think the emperor and the Queen Mother will still protect you? Think about it carefully. If you don't want things to get out of control, go and apologize to your father and mother."

"Why should I apologize? Didn't he do anything wrong?" Liuli pointed at Chunfeng.

"Who made him so angry at me so early in the morning?"

Xia Chunfeng said, "Who is the one who is angry? The servants urged you several times, but you just dragged your feet on purpose, making so many elders wait for you. Do you have the nerve to do that?"

Liuli said confidently: "I'm always so slow in getting dressed. How can I go out without getting dressed up?"

"With a face like yours, no one would be willing to take a second look at you even if you dressed up as a fairy." Xia Chunfeng said sarcastically.

"That's enough. Everyone please say less. It's really unpromising that the whole house is in turmoil over such a trivial matter." Xia Chunyu shouted.

"Princess Liuli, if you still want to stay in this mansion, then go and apologize. If you want to be divorced and sent home after one day, then go ahead and insist." Xia Chunyu was not polite either. Liuli had definitely gone too far with what happened today.

"Chunfeng, come with me to see our parents." Xia Chunyu pulled Chunfeng out.

When no one else was around, Xiaoya dared to step forward and persuade her: "Princess, you should go and apologize! Didn't the Queen Mother repeatedly remind you that after you marry into a family, you will be someone else's daughter-in-law and you must respect your elders..."

"Shut up, you're not allowed to talk too much." Liuli glared at him.

Xiaoya was silent, but if the princess was really divorced, they, the servants, would definitely be severely punished by the queen mother, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "How about you ask Madam Shu, princess?"

Nanny Shu was sent by the Queen Mother to serve and teach the princess, and the princess had to listen to Nanny Shu's advice.

Nanny Shu is an elder who serves the Empress Dowager. She has watched Liuli grow up and loves her very much, otherwise the Empress Dowager would not have sent her here.

After listening to Xiaoya's story, Madam Shu slammed the table and said, "This is simply too much. How dare they make things difficult for the princess like this."

Xiaoya was dumbfounded. Uh... Why did Aunt Shu say that? What happened today was clearly the princess' fault!

Liuli felt more and more aggrieved: "They deliberately wanted to intimidate me, and threatened to report me to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and to divorce me."

"This is outrageous and too much." Madam Shu was furious.

Liuli cried, "Divorce him first, I'll divorce him first."

"No, Princess. You have to listen to me. Even if you are right today, you will be divorced on the first day after marriage. If it gets out, it will be bad for your reputation. Besides, the Queen Mother will not agree to it!" Madam Shu was finally somewhat sober.

"What should we do? The Marquis and his wife are about to go to the palace." Liuli said.

Madam Shu thought for a moment and said through gritted teeth, "If they want to file a complaint, then we should do it before they do."

Xiaoya was completely speechless. She was in the wrong, but she was the first to complain.

While Xia Chunyu was still persuading the Marquis and his wife, Liuli had already taken a sedan chair into the palace.

After receiving the report from the servant, You was furious: "You are so good, Liuli, you are trying to get ahead of us and report the crime!"

The Marquis had a headache: "It's really a misfortune for our family."

"If she goes to sue, we will go too." Chun Feng was so angry that he jumped up and down.

Xia Chunyu said calmly: "I originally wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter, but now that Liuli has entered the palace, this trip is inevitable."

"However, it's better for Dad not to show up. Mom can go alone and ask the imperial physician to tell him that Dad has a headache due to anger. There's no need to say anything else. The emperor is wise and will naturally know what's going on."

When the Marquis heard this, he said, "This is a very good idea, Madam. I'll trouble you to make the trip."

Ye Jiayao and Second Aunt were drinking tea in the room.

Xia Peishan is good at business and household management. She can tell as soon as she enters Ye Jiayao's yard that the servants here are very well-behaved and polite. They will automatically leave after the tea is served and will never come in to disturb without being summoned. It can be seen that Mrs. Chunyu has trained the servants very well.

He chatted with Ye Jiayao about the restaurant again, and they got along better and better.

"Sometime when you go to Shanxi, you can open a branch of Tianshangju. Your business will surely be booming," said Xia Peishan.

Ye Jiayao smiled and said, "I do plan to open a branch, but Tianshangju mainly serves Huaiyang cuisine, so it's no problem to open a branch in the Jiangnan area, but it's different in Shanxi. I have to figure out the flavors of Shanxi." "We must have a Shanxi restaurant. If we want to open up a business there, we must come up with a series of special dishes that are popular even in Shanxi."

Xia Peishan said, "That's true. With the reputation of Tianshangju in Jinling, it will work there, but the key is whether the dishes can suit the taste of Shanxi people."

"Anyway, just remember this and come when the time is right. I'll be there for you if you need anything!"

Ye Jiayao smiled and nodded. It seemed that this second aunt was a person who looked cold on the outside but was warm on the inside.

"Second Aunt has been in Shanxi for many years. Do you like the taste there or do you miss Huaiyang cuisine?"

Xia Peishan sighed: "How should I put it? After all, I have lived there for more than ten years. When in Rome, I follow the local customs. I have long been accustomed to it. It's just that I miss the taste of my hometown occasionally."

"Then tomorrow, your niece-in-law will cook both dishes for you. What does Second Aunt like to eat?"

Xia Peishan was surprised: "You can also cook Shanxi dishes?"

Ye Jiayao smiled and said, "I know a little."

It is better to be low-key in front of your elders so that they will be pleasantly surprised.

"That's great. Actually, I don't care what I eat. The key is your second uncle. He is a native of Shanxi and loves the taste of Shanxi. Just do what you can cook." Xia Peishan gradually smiled.

As they were talking, Jiang Yue came in and reported, "Second Young Madam, Qiao Xi has something to report."

Ye Jiayao sat up straight and said, "Let her in."

Qiao Xi walked in, bowed to the Second Aunt and the Second Young Mistress, and said, "Just now Lin Kun's family said that Princess Liuli brought people into the palace."

Ye Jiayao and Xia Peishan looked at each other, and both thought of a word... the wicked complain first.

"Where is the madam?" Xia Peishan asked.

"My wife has also gone to the palace."

"What about the Marquis?"

"I heard that the Marquis had a headache, so he didn't go."

The two men's eyes met, and then they both breathed a sigh of relief. They were both smart people and could immediately understand Xia Youshi's intention.

If you go and make a false accusation, then I will go and ask the imperial physician to come. Now you have made people sick due to your anger. Isn't it obvious who is right and who is wrong?

"Got it, you can leave now!" Ye Jiayao signaled Qiao Xi to leave.

Xia Peishan shook her head repeatedly: "I think it's a disaster, not a blessing, for Chunfeng to marry a princess!"

Ye Jiayao comforted him, "Just take it slow. You two are both young and energetic. It will be fine if you get used to each other slowly."

"I hope so! When I received the wedding invitation, I was happy for Chunfeng, but I didn't expect it to be like this."

As soon as Liuli entered Ninghe Palace, she burst into the empress dowager's arms and cried, which broke the empress dowager's heart. When she asked her what happened, she refused to say anything. Finally, the empress dowager became anxious and asked Xiaoya, but Nanny Shu interrupted her and said something out of context, adding fuel to the fire. The empress dowager was so angry that she ordered people to summon Marquis Jing'an and his wife to the palace so that she could question them properly.

The palace maid returned not long after she left and said, "Just now, the wife of Marquis Jing'an came to the palace and begged the queen to invite Imperial Physician Shen to come. She said that the Marquis had a headache and couldn't get up. The Marquis Jing'an's mansion was in chaos."

The Queen Mother's expression froze. Weren't they the ones who bullied Liuli? Why did the Marquis lie down first?
The queen mother's face darkened, and she asked sternly, "Liuli, tell me the truth, what happened?"

Liuli was also stunned. How could the Marquis be sick?
"Empress Dowager, are they pretending to be sick?" said Madam Shu.

The Queen Mother looked at the two of them with deep suspicion and said sternly, "Madam Shu, I know you love Liuli, but why did I send you to go with her? I hope you can give Liuli more guidance and help her adapt to life in the Marquis' Mansion as soon as possible, instead of causing trouble."

Madam Shu said embarrassmentally, "Every word this old slave said is true."

"Is it true? I'm afraid not." The Queen Mother said coldly: "From now on, you shut up."

Then he asked Liuli: "When will you serve tea today?"

Liuli had never seen the Queen Mother's eyes so fierce, and felt guilty for a moment, so she said weakly: "The end of Chenshi? Or Sishi? Liuli is not sure."

"Xiaoya, you speak."

Xiaoya looked at Princess Liuli and said timidly, "My Queen Mother, it is the 9th hour."

The Empress Dowager understood what Nanny Shu had just said. Chunfeng started urging people to do something early in the morning, and became impatient and spoke in a bad tone if Liuli was a little slow.

You call this early in the morning? It was almost time for lunch. One had to get up early to have tea on the first day of marriage. As a result, Liuli made the elders of the family sit and wait for her. It would be strange if Chunfeng was not anxious.

This is exactly what Liuli did wrong.

I'm afraid those so-called difficulties were all fabricated by the two of them.

The Queen Mother sighed gloomily: "Liuli, you have ignored everything I said before!"
