Cute Wife Gourmet

Chapter 85 Taking advantage of the opportunity
Ye Jiayao was secretly surprised that Chunyu had actually been to the Wei family. When did he go? What did he do there? To verify her true identity? After all, he didn't believe her.

Xia Chunyu didn't want to mention the fake eldest young lady of the Wei family for the time being. The time was not right, but he didn't want to let Wei Liujiang off so easily, so he said coldly: "Don't try to get close to me. If I'm not here today, how are you going to deal with my brother?"

Mu Qinchu was terrified and smiled apologetically, "My Lord, it's all my fault. I drank too much and got drunk, so my voice was a little louder. My Lord, please be magnanimous. How about I hold a banquet for this little brother to make amends some other day?"

Xia Chunyu turned to see what Yaoyao meant.

Ye Jiayao imitated Xia Chunyu's tone, even more arrogant than him, and said: "There is no need to hold a banquet. If Master Mu really wants to make amends, just get me a 1,000-jin ration of ice from the official cellar!"

She knew that this annoying guy was the son of Minister Mu of the Ministry of Works. The official cellar was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Works. It should not be difficult for him to get a quota of a thousand kilograms. If he could get something for free, he would do it.

Mu Qinchu gasped and his face suddenly turned sour. It was not that he didn't want to do it, it was indeed a bit difficult. The ice ration in the official cellar was always in short supply every year. Even for a first-rank official, the ration he could get in a summer would not exceed 600 kilograms. She asked for 1,000 kilograms right away. It would be easier to treat her to a meal and apologize.

"One thousand kilograms? Are you sure you want that much?" Mu Qinchu asked with a bitter face.

Ye Jiayao nodded seriously: "Yes, one thousand kilograms may not be enough."

Xia Chunyu knew what kind of ice drink Yaoyao was making, but the number of one thousand kilograms was a bit shocking. But since Yaoyao had asked, he had to get Mu Qinchu's approval.

"Mu Qinchu, you can't be unable to fulfill my brother's small request, right?" Xia Chunyu glanced at Mu Qinchu arrogantly, with a threatening look in his eyes.

Mu Qinchu gritted his teeth and smiled, which was uglier than crying: "I...I will do my best."

Xia Chunyu said: "Since you are so straightforward, let's just pretend that today's unpleasantness never happened. You have to deliver the ration to my house within three days. Li Yao, let's go."

He said this to let Mu Qinchu know that he would keep an eye on this matter, and if Mu Qinchu couldn't do it, don't blame him for turning against him.

Ye Jiayao grinned at Mu Qinchu, followed Xia Chunyu, and the two went downstairs together.

Wei Liujiang looked down from the upper floor until the two of them left the restaurant, then he asked Mu Qinchu: "Cousin, where did that kid come from? Why is Xia Chunyu so protective of him?"

Mu Qinchu always felt that Ye Jiayao looked very familiar, but he couldn't think of where he had seen her before. But what was certain was that this Li Yao was definitely not the son of some powerful family, he knew everyone in the circle of noblemen in Jinling City.

"Could this Li Yao be the guy who became famous for his ice drinks recently?" Mu Qinchu's follower said hesitantly.

Mu Qinchu slapped his forehead and said suddenly, "I remember now, it's this guy, the cook at Tianshangju."

Wei Liujiang found it incredible: "How can a cook be so close to Xia Chunyu?"

Mu Qinchu said angrily, "This guy is not simple. I heard that Prince Jing of the Helian Palace has a close relationship with him, and now he has hooked up with Xia Chunyu."

He couldn't afford to offend Prince Jing alone, let alone Xia Chunyu... It was so depressing. He was just a cook. Even a top chef was just a cook. But he still had to humble himself and apologize to a cook. It made him want to vomit blood just thinking about it.

Today's events had a great impact on Wei Liujiang. Before coming to Nanjing, he felt that he was a big shot and could almost do whatever he wanted in Jinan. After arriving in Nanjing, he thought that his cousin was very powerful. The position of Vice Minister of Works was a lucrative one, and as the son of a Vice Minister of Works, he could call the wind and rain, but he was also the center of attention... Just last night he had met several princes and sons, and they were all very polite to his cousin.

However, in front of Xia Chunyu, the cousin didn't even dare to fart. Whatever Xia Chunyu said was the truth. It seemed that Xia Chunyu was the overlord of Jinling City. No wonder before leaving, his father repeatedly reminded him to be patient in Jinling. The son of a prefect of a state was nothing in Jinling, which was full of powerful people.

But this cook named Li Yao could actually call Xia Chunyu a brother, which showed that he was quite capable. He didn't need to think about the previous scam anymore, but he had to think about how to get close to Li Yao, maybe he could get in touch with the Helian Palace and Xia Chunyu through him.

Xia Chunyu and Ye Jiayao got on the carriage. Ye Jiayao was thinking about something and looked unhappy.

"Is this the person you once loved?" Xia Chunyu recalled the regretful look on Yaoyao's face when she first talked about Wei Liujiang, and he couldn't help feeling jealous.

"What do you mean by admiration? I don't like people like that." Ye Jiayao curled her lips and said with disdain.

The original owner might have liked Wei Liujiang, and regarded Wei Liujiang as the salvation of her miserable life and was full of expectations, but she was different. To her, Wei Liujiang was just a stranger.

"It seems that he doesn't recognize you anymore. Can we say that we don't know each other even if we are not destined to meet?" Xia Chunyu teased with a faint smile. Someone once longed for the life of a rich lady with a romantic relationship and a beautiful woman.

Ye Jiayao glared at him: "The last time we met was when we were ten years old. It's been so long, everyone's appearance has changed, how could I recognize each other." She would not tell him that when Wei Liujiang came to the Ye family last year, she had secretly peeked at Wei Liujiang.

Xia Chunyu raised his lips and smiled: "Do you know how the Wei and Ye families dealt with the aftermath after you were kidnapped and taken to the mountain?"

Ye Jiayao heard his tone and it seemed that he knew about it, so she asked, "When did you go to the Wei family?"

"She went there after the Black Wind Hill incident was settled. I guess the one who serves as the eldest lady of the Wei family now is your second sister, Ye Jinrong." Xia Chunyu said.

Ye Jiayao was not surprised at all, she had known about it for a long time.

"Moreover, your second sister and Wei Liujiang have been secretly in contact for a long time. I guess the connection to Black Wind Gang was provided by Wei Liujiang. Otherwise, how could the Ye family in Yangzhou hire people from Black Wind Gang?" Xia Chunyu analyzed.

Ye Jiayao looked like she was struck by lightning, her face messy in the wind, and she looked at him in surprise. His eyes were dark and deep, without a trace of joking. She was reluctant to believe his guess. In her impression, Wei Liujiang had always been a gentle and polite young scholar. Although she had not had any contact with Wei Liujiang since she was ten years old, she had secretly seen him last year when Wei Liujiang came to live in the Ye family for a while. He even spoke to the servants in a friendly manner...

"You can't say that Wei Liujiang was involved based on just this one point! Is there any more concrete evidence?" Ye Jiayao asked.

"Of course there is evidence, but now is not the time to show it." Xia Chunyu's eyes flashed with coldness. He did have evidence. Ye Jiayao was a little confused. Did he investigate? Why did he do this? To seek peace of mind?

Let me ask you, what are you going to do about this matter? "Xia Chunyu had already made up his mind. No matter what Yaoyao said, he would not let this couple go, but he still wanted to hear what Yaoyao had to say.

Ye Jiayao bit her lower lip. What should she do? This was the question she kept asking herself. It was impossible to let him go. She was not yet a saintly woman who could tolerate someone who wanted to harm her.

It was precisely to ensure that the wicked received the punishment they deserved that she traveled thousands of miles to Jinling.

"I will expose their true faces and let the world see their ugliness. I want Jin Rong and Wei Liujiang to be disgraced and my stepmother to get out of the Ye family." Ye Jiayao said angrily, clenching her fists involuntarily.

Yes, this is her ultimate goal. Although she doesn't know what she needs to do to achieve this goal, she believes that as long as she moves towards this goal, it will be realized one day.

A warm hand wrapped around her fist, stroking and soothing it gently, and spoke in a low voice with a soothing power: "Evildoers will be punished."

The warmth from my palm and the hot breath spraying against my ears made half of my body start to feel numb and my heart tremble. Damn, can't you just talk without getting so close?

Noticing her body suddenly becoming stiff, Xia Chunyu couldn't help but sneer. His Yaoyao was still so sensitive...

Thinking of those scenes, Xia Chunyu became distracted and slowly moved closer, greedily indulging in the unique fragrance from her body.

"Yaoyao...I miss you..."

It felt like countless electric currents were running through his body. He wanted to struggle and resist, but his hands and feet were restrained by these currents and he couldn't move. Ye Jiayao was annoyed. Didn't she have no feelings for him?

The hot breath came like a tide, drowning her.

"No..." She finally protested, but the voice was too weak and so gentle that it sounded more like she was acting coquettishly.

"What don't you want?" He whispered in a low and slightly hoarse voice full of temptation. He slowly moved one hand to her slender waist, and with a little force, he held her in his arms.

He was tempting her, trying to ignite her passion. Today her thoughts were confused and her mind was weak, so her resistance was not that fierce. He took advantage of the opportunity. As long as he could get her back, he didn't mind using some extraordinary means.

But he thought everything was under his control, but now he found that he was the one who suffered more. He didn't dare to act rashly. Yaoyao now was no longer the submissive wife who let him have whatever he wanted. Instead, she was a little hedgehog covered in thorns. If you were not careful, she would prick you and make you bleed.

Does this mean he deserves what he gets, playing with fire and getting burned?

"Let me go..." Ye Jiayao wanted to bang her head against the wall in shame. Her body and brain seemed to be out of sync. She didn't listen to his instructions at all, but responded instinctively to his teasing. How could this be possible?
