Adorable Food Goddess

On the carriage back, Ye Jiayao leaned on Chunyu's arms and said, "I heard that Qixuan was forced to marry again."

"Ah... that's what happened. Su Xiang is also looking for a wife for Su Yi." Xia Chunyu said lightly, not very interested.

"The desire to tear down the foundation will never die." Ye Jiayao sighed.

"What?" Xia Chunyu didn't understand.

"Oh, I mean, we all understand each other tacitly, why can't we just let them go?" Ye Jiayao complained: "I really want to make them anxious. When the time comes, they will elope and never come back."

Ye Jiayao had a feeling that by planning the border trade, Zhao Qixuan and Su Yi were trying to find a way out for themselves, and they might never come back.

Xia Chunyu chuckled: "Elopement is not that easy. With Su Xiang's temper, people will hunt him down from all corners of the world. There is also Qixuan, he is the only legitimate son of the Yong'an Marquis. The old Marquis is turning a blind eye now." Close one eye, as long as Qi Xuan can leave a seed for the Hou Mansion, he will probably admit it, but if he elopes, he will kill Su Yi first."

"Save the seeds? How to keep them? Marry a daughter-in-law and use it as a decoration? As a tool for childbirth? Wouldn't that harm other people? Who dares to marry their daughter over?" Ye Jiayao said angrily.

"Then you are wrong. There are people who are willing to get married. They only see the benefits brought by the marriage. Who cares whether their daughter is happy or not, like your father." Chunyu said realistically.

"Don't mention him, I don't have such a father." Ye Jiayao gets upset when the Ye family is mentioned.

Xia Chunyu tightened his arm around her shoulders to express comfort.

There is an idiom that all your wishes come true, and whatever you think comes true, but if your thoughts are not good things and they come true, then your nightmare will come true.

As soon as Ye Jiayao returned to the house, the concierge said: "Master, your brother-in-law is here. He is in the front hall right now, and the third young master is with him."

Ye Jiayao and Xia Chunyu were both stunned, brother-in-law?

"Is it Zhongyuan?" Ye Jiayao reacted first and asked the concierge: "He came alone?"

The concierge said: "My uncle came alone and brought many gifts."

Xia Chunyu nodded and asked her, "Do you want to go and meet me together?"

Ye Jiayao thought that Zhong Yuan's coming here must be Ye Binghuai's intention. He had no shame to come himself and asked Zhong Yuan to come. Did he want to repair the relationship with her or did he have other motives? If it's the former, there's no need. If it's the latter, it's better for her to do it herself.

So, he said: "I'd better go by myself. Don't show your face first."

Ye Jiayao came to the front hall. Seeing her coming, Chunfeng stood up and said, "Second sister-in-law, you are finally back."

Ye Jiayao smiled: "Excuse me, you can go do your own work!"

Zhong Yuan stood up and bowed respectfully to Ye Jiayao: "Sister."

Ye Jiayao looked at Zhongyuan with a slight smile. After not seeing each other for a year, Zhongyuan seemed to have grown up a lot. In her memory, this younger brother was very cold to her eldest sister. He would only nod at most when they met, like this He was courteous and respectful. This was the first time I saw him.

"When did you come to Jinling?" Ye Jiayao smiled and sat down to ask.

Zhong Yuan stood and replied: "I just arrived this afternoon."

"Didn't you go see your mother and your second sister?"

"My mother and second sister are both in Yangzhou. This time I came alone. I came specially to see second sister and give her some Yangzhou specialties. I will go back tomorrow." Zhong Yuandao.

Ye Jiayao smiled half-heartedly: "I'm really serious about letting you go all the way."

Zhong Yuan opened his mouth, as if he had something to say, but seeing the eldest sister's indifferent expression, he was a little timid and couldn't say anything. Both parents say that the second sister has become a phoenix when the crow flies on the branch. She must be careful when dealing with the situation. Looking at the way the eldest sister behaves now, she is indeed a bit like a wealthy lady. It is different from the submissive behavior when she was a young lady at home. They look completely different from each other.

He was not close to this eldest sister. He could not see how cautious and humble she was, just like a servant in the house. Mother said she was pretending to be pitiful and would wear old clothes if she had good ones. It made everyone feel that she had been treated badly, so they disliked her even more, but they didn't know that her mother had indeed treated her badly over the years, and the second sister even came out and almost killed her.

In fact, he came reluctantly on this trip. He couldn't do anything shameless. But his father said that he was the only one in the Ye family who could say a few words in front of the eldest sister. If others came, he might not be able to meet her. Can't even see them. But he felt that he might not be able to speak up even if he came.

Ye Jiayao saw his hesitation in her eyes and asked, "Where do you plan to stay today? Is it your second sister's house?"

Zhong Yuandao: "If it's inconvenient for eldest sister, I can go to the inn and spend the night."

Ye Jiayao's eyes narrowed and she said with a smile: "What's the inconvenience? There are still empty rooms in the Hou Mansion. I thought your mother had arranged it for you."

Zhong Yuan was silent, he would rather stay in an inn.

"I'll have someone arrange a place for you. You go and have a rest. I'll have someone call you after dinner." After saying that, Ye Jiayao called someone in and took Zhong Yuan to have a rest.

Seeing that the eldest sister was about to leave, Zhong Yuan hurriedly called her: "Eldest sister..."

If I don't say it now, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to say it.

Ye Jiayao turned back and smiled: "Do you have anything else?"

"Sister." Zhong Yuan bit his lip and said with difficulty: "Dad hopes that you will come back home after the new year. Your grandparents have also arrived in Yangzhou and they want to meet you."

Ye Jiayao was stunned for a while and let out a chuckle. Ye Binghuai really used his brains to move his grandparents out. She can deny her father and stepmother, but she can't deny her grandparents. Is that what you mean?

"Zhongyuan, you also know my current status. I can't just go wherever I want." Ye Jiayao said perfunctorily.

"No matter who you are, you should go back and visit your grandparents! Sister, my grandparents miss you very much." Zhong Yuan's tone and expression were pleading.

Ye Jiayao sneered, missed her? She must be thinking about her identity and status as the second young lady of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion! Although they didn't get along much with their grandparents, it was obvious that the two elders had a serious preference for sons over daughters. They only had eyes for Zhong Yuan, the only grandson of the Ye family. Who is she? If she lost this identity, I'm afraid she would never think of seeing her in this life!

"Zhong Yuan, it's not difficult for me to go back. You let dad take care of the things that need to be taken care of first." Ye Jiayao said no more and turned to leave.

Zhong Yuan was stunned and realized what the eldest sister was referring to, asking his father to divorce his mother.

But there are all parents in the world. Even if his mother is wrong, she is his biological mother after all. She is sorry for her eldest sister, but she is considerate to him. How can he say this?

Xia Chunyu was waiting for her. When he saw her coming back, he asked, "What did Zhong Yuan say?"

Ye Jiayao untied her cloak and handed it to Jiang Yue. She took the hot tea from Qiao Xi and held it in her hand. She sneered, "Let me go back after the new year. I said my grandparents want to see me."

"Humph, do you think that if you move out the two old ones, I will have to obey orders? They are thinking too well."

Xia Chunyu frowned and asked, "How do your grandparents treat you?"

"What's good? They don't live in Yangzhou. They come here rarely, and they don't come to see me. To be honest, I can't even remember what my grandfather looks like." Ye Jiayao said angrily.

"Now that I know I'm married to you, I remember that I am my granddaughter. I don't care about this kind of snobbery that flatters others."

Seeing him frowning in deep thought, Ye Jiayao said: "Don't think about it, I won't go back unless I divorce Ning first. Moreover, once I go back, this family will be like a dog-skin plaster that I can't get rid of." Yeah, it’s not like you don’t know my father’s virtue.”

Xia Chunyu's eyes curled up: "You take a rest first, I'll go see Zhong Yuan. My brother-in-law is here. It's always not good for my brother-in-law to hide away."

"See you again, don't agree to anything randomly." Ye Jiayao warned.

She didn't have any good or bad feelings towards Zhong Yuan. Zhong Yuan studied very hard and was good at learning, but he was from the Ning family after all, so she couldn't like him.

Xia Chunyu smiled, scratched her nose, and went out.

In the Liuli room, Liuli complained to Chunfeng in a sweet voice: "Why have you been here for so long?"

Chunfeng said: "My second brother and sister-in-law are not here, and my brother-in-law is here. I have to accompany him, otherwise I will be rude."

"Didn't she cut off all contact with the Ye family? Why did she come back?" Liuli asked with interest.

Chunfeng raised his eyebrows: "I don't know that, but the second sister-in-law is angry at those who harmed her, and no one else can swallow this anger."

Liuli Shiran said: "I heard that her stepmother and second sister have apologized to her, and they can only kill people with a nod. After all, they are a family, how can they really not have any contact with each other for the rest of their lives? Besides, mistakes can be corrected after they are acknowledged. There is no such thing as kindness, and my second sister-in-law is too stubborn."

Chunfeng said: "That is the matter of the second sister-in-law. None of us know the specific situation. The second sister-in-law is not a narrow-minded person."

Liuli glanced at him displeased: "You just know how to speak for her. In your eyes, everything about her is good."

Chunfeng laughed: "Look, what you said is meaningless. I am just talking about things. If you want to be petty, who can compare with you?"

Chunfeng was joking, but Liuli was really unhappy, and her face sank: "What you said is very interesting? Are you going to hold on to the past?"

"No, no, don't get me wrong, I was joking with you." Chunfeng realized that he had made a mistake and quickly apologized. Liuli has changed a lot now. Everyone is very happy. It's the Chinese New Year, so don't get into trouble just because of a few quarrels.

Liuli then softened her expression and said, "Actually, if everyone takes a step back, maybe we will be in a different situation. If we are too serious, life will be very tiring."

"That's the truth." Chunfeng agreed.

"Then it's human nature for Mrs. Ning to favor her own child. Five fingers are still long and short, not to mention the child is not her biological child. If it were the second sister-in-law herself, I'm afraid she might not be able to handle a bowl of water." Liuli said.

Chunfeng thought, this was not an ordinary partiality, it was going to harm people's lives, it was too serious, but Liuli's words made sense.
