Cute Wife Gourmet

Chapter 87: Don't Call Me Third Madam
Uncle Jiang, who heard the noise, also ran out of the house, followed by a little girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old, who must be Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang's daughter.

Ye Jiayao was also very excited to see their family. They were all old acquaintances, and she didn't have many acquaintances in this strange world.

"Aunt Jiang, Uncle Jiang, I'm glad to see you're okay."

Aunt Jiang wiped her tears and said, "Thanks to the Third Madam, otherwise I, an old woman, would have gone to hell long ago. Thanks to the Young Master, otherwise we would not have lived a peaceful life..."

Xia Chunyu said: "Let's all go inside and talk. It looks like it's going to rain."

"Yes, yes, come in and sit down. Look how happy I am. I forgot about everything. Yue'er, go and make tea for the Third Madam and the Young Master." Aunt Jiang ordered.

The little girl named Yue'er responded happily and ran to make tea.

After Xia Chunyu sat down, he said, "Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang's family just arrived in Jinling yesterday. I've settled them here. You don't have to stay at the inn. Just live with Aunt Jiang and the others! We're all family. Here, you don't have to hide anything. We can take care of each other. Besides, this place is close to Tianshangju..."

"Yes, Madam Third, if you live here, we will definitely take good care of you." Aunt Jiang smiled.

Ye Jiayao didn't want to live here at all. What was this like? Hiding a beautiful girl in a golden house? Isn't this golden house too shabby? Besides, she didn't want anyone to hide. She was free and had the final say in everything. How good it was. It wasn't like she couldn't survive and had to rely on others for support. However, looking at Aunt Jiang's family's eager eyes, it was not easy to say this too bluntly or too directly.

Before she could figure out how to refuse, Xia Chunyu said, "I've already moved all your things here for you."

Aunt Jiang said, "We have already cleaned up Third Madam's room. Will Third Madam go and take a look? Is she satisfied?"

Uh... this is acting first and asking for permission later. Damn, what right does he have to be her master? Does he think that just because she has had physical contact with him, she must marry him in this life?
"Wait, I didn't say I wanted to live here." Ye Jiayao tried to make her tone calmer.

Aunt Jiang and her family all had expressions of surprise and disappointment on their faces, and looked at the Young Master in confusion.

Xia Chunyu guessed that Yaoyao would say that, she had a very stubborn temper.

Xia Chunyu drank his tea and said slowly, "It's your freedom to live wherever you like. No one will force you. But I think you will feel more comfortable living here. Besides, it's more convenient for you to cook here. There's a special kitchen and helpers. Although Manager Du is a kind person, it's not comfortable to live in an inn with so many people and gossips."

Ye Jiayao hesitated. What he said made sense, but why did it make her feel so uncomfortable?
"This house is not mine. It was a reward from the imperial court to Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang. It was Aunt Jiang who suggested letting you live here. I thought it was a good idea, so I brought you here to see it." Xia Chunyu knew what she was worried about, so he pushed the idea onto Aunt Jiang.

Aunt Jiang understood and advised, "Madam San, what the prince said is right. I feel very uncomfortable knowing that you are still living alone in the inn. How can I let my savior live in the inn? This house is not big, but not small either. Madam San still has a room. Apart from anything else, if you live here, everyone will have company, right? Our family heard that you were in Jinling yesterday. We were so excited that we couldn't sleep all night. My Yue'er even grumbled that she wanted to learn how to cook from you! Madam San, please stay here, otherwise we will feel uneasy!"
Uncle Jiang also advised: "Madam San, please stay here! Treat this as your own home and don't complain about its simplicity."

Hearing what the old couple said, Ye Jiayao felt embarrassed to refuse.

Xia Chunyu stood up and said, "I have something else to do, you can discuss it with her."

Yaoyao was too concerned about her reputation to care about it, so he decided to just run away.

Seeing him leaving, Ye Jiayao wanted to follow him, but was stopped by Aunt Jiang: "Madam, please go and take a look at the room first. Yue'er has put a lot of thought into decorating it..."

"Aunt Jiang, I have something else to do. I'll come back another day..."

"Now that we are here, what else are we going to do next time? Come on, Yue'er, lead the way quickly..."

Xia Chunyu left the yard and said to Uncle Jiang behind him, "You must stay."

Uncle Jiang laughed and said, "The old woman is here to pester the Third Madam, even if she has to pester her to death."

Xia Chunyu's lips curved up: "There is a result. Ask Jiang Li to come to the mansion to inform him."

Ye Jiayao finally couldn't resist Aunt Jiang's kindness and decided to stay temporarily, because Aunt Jiang didn't listen to her explanation at all, as if not staying would mean she looked down on them and disliked them.

This house has three entrances. Jiang Li lives in the first entrance, Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang live in the second entrance, and Jiang Yue and Ye Jiayao live in the third entrance. There is also a small kitchen in the inner courtyard with all necessary facilities.

She doubted Xia Chunyu's statement. Was the imperial court so generous? To reward a commoner who had made some contributions in suppressing bandits with such a large house in such a good location? It was probably Chunyu's property.

But the other party denied it and cleared it completely, so she couldn't ask Aunt Jiang to take a look at the title deed.

However, thinking about the ice cream she would be making next, which was one of the ways she made her fortune, the production method had to be kept secret, and she would also have to develop some exclusive private dishes in the future, so she really needed such a private place.

Thinking of this, Ye Jiayao felt relieved. Just live there, no matter whose house it belongs to. Since Chunyu said it’s not hers, she will just pretend it’s not hers.

After bathing, Ye Jiayao changed into women's clothes. Jiang Yue was stunned: "Madam, you are so beautiful, like a fairy."

Ye Jiayao smiled and said, "Have you ever seen what a fairy looks like?"

Jiang Yue said, "I haven't seen her, but I saw the young lady of a wealthy family in Liaocheng when I was working with my brother. The locals said that the young lady was as pretty as a fairy. I also think she is pretty, but now that I see the appearance of the third wife, I think the young lady is just average." Ye Jiayao said, "Yue'er, you look like your mother."

Jiang Yue blushed and said, "Yes, my brother looks like my father and is better looking. I look like my mother and am not good looking."

Ye Jiayao laughed: "I'm not saying you look like your mother." In fact, both brother and sister look like Uncle Jiang, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Uncle Jiang must have been a handsome guy when he was young.

Jiang Yue was at a loss: "What did the Third Madam say?"

Ye Jiayao smiled and said, "I mean you are eloquent like your mother."

Jiang Yue's face turned even redder, and she said weakly, "I'm just telling the truth."

"Okay, okay, I was just kidding. Your mother said you wanted to cook too?" Ye Jiayao has never had a female companion of the same age since she came to this strange world. Jiang Yue is close to her, so she naturally wants to be friends with her.

Jiang Yue's eyes lit up: "Yes, my mother said that the dishes cooked by the Third Madam are delicious. My brother learned carpentry skills from my father, so he doesn't have to worry about not having food to eat wherever he goes. I can't do anything, so I can only help people wash clothes and mend clothes. I also like to cook. Can you teach me, Third Madam?"

Ye Jiayao finally met a like-minded partner and said happily: "Okay, but I have one condition."

"What are the conditions?" Jiang Yue asked nervously, fearing that the Third Madam might have some harsh requirements for accepting a disciple.

"Don't call me the Third Madam anymore." Ye Jiayao said solemnly. This title was really embarrassing. She was not even a Third Madam at all.

"What's that? That's what my mother calls you." Jiang Yue was puzzled.

Ye Jiayao waved her hand and said, "Your mother and the others are not allowed to call me that. From now on, just call me Yaoyao."

Jiang Yue said weakly: "This is too rude, you are the third wife!"

"What Third Madam? That's a misunderstanding. Don't call her that in the future, otherwise the Young Master will be unhappy." Ye Jiayao said with a pout.

"No, I think the young master is very happy. When I heard the young master talking to my mother, he always said 'Madam, Madam'." Jiang Yue said.

Uh... is there? Chunyu would say that? Ye Jiayao was quite surprised and looked at Jiang Yue suspiciously. Could this little girl be teasing her on purpose?

Seeing that she didn't believe him, Jiang Yue nodded seriously and said, "It's true, I really heard it. Liars are dogs."

Ye Jiayao couldn't understand. Chunyu was not such a casual person. Being a bandit in Heifenggang was one thing, but now he was back in Jinling. He was the noble son of Jing'an Marquis. How could he tell others that she was his wife? What kind of wife was she?
"Then...what did the prince say to your mother?" Ye Jiayao asked tentatively.

Jiang Yue became alert. Just now when the Third Madam was bathing, her mother had specifically told her something, and Yao was wary of the Third Madam trying to trick her.

He perfunctorily said, "The prince said that he had finally found you, and now you are also in Jinling, and you are the head chef at Tianshangju. I didn't listen carefully to the rest."

Nothing else? Ye Jiayao was a little disappointed. After all this time, she was just being sentimental again. But what about what happened in the carriage before? Did he think she was a casual woman who could be flirted with at will? Ye Jiayao was furious. This bastard, if he dared to offend her again next time, he would be in trouble.

Seeing that Third Madam's face was uncertain, Jiang Yue didn't know if she had said something wrong, so she made an excuse: "Third Madam, you take a rest. I'll go wash the clothes."

He picked up the clothes and ran away.

Ye Jiayao was annoyed and went out for a walk.

Uncle Jiang and Jiang Li were doing carpentry work in the yard, making a barrel, a very big barrel.

"Uncle Jiang, A Li, why are you doing this? Go buy it?" Ye Jiayao moved a small chair and sat down.

It was the first time that Jiang Li heard someone call him that. He couldn't help but blush and lowered his head. Uncle Jiang said with a smile, "This is for you, Madam San. The old woman said you might need it."

Now it was Ye Jiayao's turn to feel uncomfortable. Wasn't the bathtub given to her to use?

Ye Jiayao said awkwardly, "I'm not that particular. I just need a bed to sleep on. Please don't go to any trouble for me."

"It's not a problem. We are craftsmen and making a barrel is the simplest thing for us." Uncle Jiang said.

Ye Jiayao remembered that Chunyu once said that Uncle Jiang was a skilled craftsman and that he made the mechanism of the Dragon-Breaking Stone on the Black Wind Hill, so she asked, "Uncle Jiang, can you make a cake mold?"
