Cute Wife Gourmet

Chapter 97 Apology
Ye Jiayao felt as if she had swallowed a fly, she was nauseated to death. She tossed and turned last night, thinking that she had said too much, that she really shouldn't ride on the same horse with Chunfeng, that he was angry because he cared about her... She thought a lot, and in the end, the truth was so unbearable.

She felt like she was a huge joke, being bullied by him and his future wife. Did they think she was a pushover?

Damn, I originally wanted to bow my head and admit my fault, and let things settle peacefully, but now, the feud has become bigger, Liuli, right? Princess, right? You are so arrogant, right? Well, I will let you show off your power, and let everyone see how arrogant you are.

Ye Jiayao's fighting spirit was rekindled and an idea came to her mind. She waved to the two to come closer and muttered a few words.

Helian Jing and Xia Chunfeng were stunned after hearing what they heard. Damn, this is too cruel!
"How is it?" Ye Jiayao asked, "Chunfeng, if you are afraid of offending your future sister-in-law, you don't have to participate in this plan."

"I'm not afraid of her, but I don't welcome her to be my sister-in-law." Xia Chunfeng screamed.

"Xiao Jing, Liuli is his cousin."

Helian Jing said: "Because she is my cousin, I need to teach her a lesson. If she suffers a little loss now, she won't suffer a big loss in the future. She is just spoiled."

"So you all agree with my suggestion?"

The two of them nodded in unison, the image of Liuli being severely punished again emerging in their minds, and they were actually a little excited.

The next morning, Xia Chunyu went to Puji Temple after finishing his shift and did not return to the city until the afternoon. On the way, he met Zhao Qixuan: "Brother Chunyu, are you going to Lantingxuan too?"

Xia Chunyu frowned: "Go to Lantingxuan?"

Zhao Qixuan knew he had misunderstood when he saw his reaction. He thought Chunfeng also called Chunyu! He hurriedly said, "It's okay, I'll take my leave now."

Zhao Qixuan said goodbye in a hurry.

Xia Chunyu was suspicious. Why did Zhao Qixuan suddenly look so flustered? Could it be that something happened to Lan Tingxuan?

Xia Chunyu rode his horse a few steps, feeling uneasy, and ordered, "Song Qi, go to Lantingxuan and take a look."

"Yes." Song Qi took the order and turned his horse around.

One or two luxurious carriages drove towards Lan Tingxuan, and in the carriages sat two handsome young men in gorgeous clothes.

Helian Jing said humbly, "Liuli, Li Yao has done me a favor. Can you please let him go for my sake? He didn't mean to offend you. Ignorance is not a crime. If he knew your identity, he would definitely treat you with respect!"

Liuli said disdainfully, "Helian Jing, you are too lame! You ran away from home, but you almost couldn't come back, and you had to rely on a cook for support. Now you have fallen to the point of being humble to me for a cook. Helian Jing, where is your identity? Where is your pride? It's too shameful."

“Liuli, don’t call me cook all the time and look down on the common people. You don’t know that our great ancestor was also a blacksmith and my ancestor was just a groom. The nobility between you and me is not innate.” Helian Jing said.

Liuli snorted, glanced at him sideways, and said, "Fate is determined by heaven. Taizu is a real dragon, a dragon that hides in the abyss, and is bound to soar into the sky. You still bring up Taizu, believe it or not, I will tell the imperial aunt and give you a few slaps in the face."

Helian Jing was extremely speechless. He originally wanted to persuade her. If she was willing to give up, today's plan would be cancelled to save her some face. However, since she was so stubborn, he would just let her be. She would suffer the consequences of her own actions.

"Then tell me, what does Li Yao have to do in order for you to let him go? Killing people is not the right path." Helian Jing said.

Liuli was very unconvinced. Isn't he just a cook? It's understandable that Helian Jing helped Li Yao, but what's hateful is that Chunyu and the prince brother, why do they all side with Li Yao? The more they do this, the more she wants to trample Li Yao under her feet.

How can I let him go? She really didn't think about letting him go. She wouldn't stop until she was satisfied.

"That depends on my mood." Liuli said arrogantly.

The carriage stopped at Lan Ting Xuan. Liuli glanced at the sign of "Lan Ting Xuan" and sneered, "He wants to make amends in a place like this?"

"Lantingxuan is the best teahouse in Jinling." Helian Jing said.

Liuli sneered and walked inside.

"Isn't it said to be the best teahouse in Jinling? Why is it so empty? Is there no one here?" Liuli looked around and there was not a single customer.

Helian Jing said: "We have booked the place. It's better not to have other people around for this kind of thing!"

Liuli glanced at him sideways: "You really are thinking about him. Are you afraid that he will be embarrassed? But I like the more people the better!" Helian Jing touched his nose and thought: You said that yourself.

When they went up to the second floor, Ye Jiayao was already waiting in the lobby: "I'm honored to meet you, Princess." After saying that, she bowed deeply.

Liuli didn't even glance at her. He sat down leisurely at the table filled with tea and fruits, and imitated the young master's unrestrained manner. He opened the fan with a "whoosh" and waved it slowly.

Helian Jing said: "Li Yao, you must sincerely apologize to the princess, otherwise, no one can help you."

Ye Jiayao nodded: "Of course, of course. If I knew it was the princess, I wouldn't dare to offend her even if I had a hundred guts, right?"

Ye Jiayao filled the teapot and offered it with both hands: "I was blind and did not recognize the value of gold and jade, and I have offended the princess. Please forgive me. I beg you to let Tianshangju go. Shopkeeper Li is innocent. Tianshangju is his hard work for many years. If Tianshangju closes, they will have nowhere to go. This is my fault, and I am willing to bear it alone."

Liuli sneered, "You're going to bear it all by yourself? Can you bear it?"

"Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. This is all my fault." Ye Jiayao was terrified.

"Humph, of course it's your fault, but Tianshangju is also to blame. This princess has not forgotten how you guys treated me that day. This princess remembers it clearly. You want me to forgive you? No way. This princess is going to close Tianshangju and make you a stray dog, a rat crossing the street, and everyone will shout and beat you." Liuli snorted coldly.

Ye Jiayao said, "That day, the princess blamed Manager Qian for not having ice drinks and threatened to confiscate the restaurant. Manager Qian didn't say a word of disrespect to the princess, but just apologized, didn't he? No one else said a word, didn't they? Only I couldn't help but said a few words, didn't I? The reason why the princess couldn't have ice drinks was because of my incompetence. I could only make 200 bowls a day, which disappointed the princess who wanted to have ice drinks. So, after all, the fault lies with me alone."

"According to what you said, the one who is wrong is not you, but me?" Liuli was angry. How could this be considered an apology?
"No, no, what did the princess do wrong? The princess came to Tianshangju because she thinks highly of it and gives it face. We didn't know the princess's identity, otherwise we would have lined up to welcome her. Not to mention a bowl of ice drink, if we had known the princess was coming, we would not have sold a single bowl and kept them all for the princess. The princess can drink as many bowls as she wants. Even if she wants to pour them out to wash her hands or make a facial mask, it is our honor. So, the fault is still mine." Ye Jiayao said very sincerely.

"Stop talking nonsense here. Do you know how hateful your face was at that time?" Liuli said angrily.

"Yes, yes, I am abominable. I deserve to die. When the princess said she was going to confiscate the restaurant, I actually thought it was none of my business. It was not until I heard the princess threaten to put me in jail that I jumped out. I am so selfish... At that time, I really felt that it was a bit unfair to be sent to jail just because I failed to make an extra bowl of iced drink."

Helian Jing couldn't help laughing and turned his head away with the corner of his mouth twitching.

"Bah, stop talking nonsense here, you dog, you actually dare to say that this princess has bad breath, you are the one who can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth." Liuli was furious.

"Yes, yes. Not only can I not spit out elephant tusks, I can't even spit out dog teeth. My princess is just a little angry. I really shouldn't have said that you have bad breath."

"How dare you say that." Liuli's eyes widened, and she really wanted to knock all his teeth out.

“Yes, yes, I won’t say any more. I am a rough man and I can’t speak well. I will never dare to say that the princess has bad breath again. The princess smells very good. Even her farts are fragrant.” Ye Jiayao apologized carefully.

Helian Jing really couldn't help it, his mouth was about to twitch, but he didn't dare to laugh.

Liuli is a girl after all, and she is very sensitive about things like bad breath and fart. This bastard is so outspoken that she can't bear it anymore.

Liuli slammed the table angrily and ended up hurting her hand, causing her to burst into tears due to the pain.

"Li Yao, you bastard, don't even think that I will forgive you. I will slowly settle your score with you. I want you to live a life worse than death and make you regret your parents giving birth to you into this world." Liuli shouted.

Ye Jiayao pretended to be confused and asked, "Are there any other accounts?"

"Stop pretending to be ignorant..." Liuli had never seen a guy with such a thick skin.

Ye Jiayao thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "My princess, are you referring to what happened on the street? Oh, my princess, there was nothing I could do about it! The princess swapped my purse at the time, and she also falsely accused me of stealing your purse. People all over the street pointed at me and said I was a thief. I couldn't defend myself, and I was almost stripped naked and paraded through the streets!"

"You deserve it. You've offended me, and you still want to let it go?" Liuli said angrily.

"I don't know your identity. If I knew, I would rather be tied up and paraded through the streets than say that my princess is a pair of lovers. The princess is a woman dressed as a man, and she looks like a handsome boy. I am short-sighted and can't see it. I can't think of any other good way to escape in a hurry. Otherwise, how about this, in order to show that I sincerely apologize, I will go back to that street and make it clear to everyone passing by that the boy that day was not my lover, but the extremely noble princess, so as to clear the princess' name. How about that?"

Liuli felt the blood in her chest surging, almost spurting out blood. She was furious and looked around for something that could be used as a weapon. She saw the sword on Helian Jing's waist, rushed over in three or two steps, drew the sword, and pointed it at Ye Jiayao.

"This county lord will kill you..."

"Stop!" A loud shout came from behind.
