Adorable Food Goddess

Ye Jinrong knelt and cried in front of the Hou Mansion, and the news quickly reached Liuli's ears.

"The person named Ye is really hard-hearted. I would say she is a cold-hearted person." Liuli teased the canary in the cage and said in a sly tone.

"Isn't that right? Miss Ye Er has such a big belly and looks like she is about to give birth." Xiaoya said.

"Second Miss Ye has come to Ye Jinxuan to ask for help. It seems that she is really desperate. The court is currently rectifying official discipline, and Minister Mu and Wei Liujiang are on the receiving end of a gun." Liuli snorted.

"If the prince comes forward, he can still be saved, right?"

"Oh, that's hard to say. Last time, Ye Tongzhi was asked to settle the matter. The witness changed his confession and admitted that he was falsely accused. There was nothing the Yushitai could do. After all, there was no conclusive evidence. But this time, the river embankment The collapse is obvious. Even if there is no corruption, it is at least a crime of malfeasance." Liuli said slowly.

"The second young lady's family is really terrible." Xiaoya sneered.

"What's so bad? What's bad is yet to come!" Liuli's thoughts changed and she motioned for Xiaoya to come over and gave instructions like this for a while. Xiaoya nodded repeatedly.

Ye Jiayao was indeed very upset and annoyed. She originally planned to never have anything to do with this kind of person, but she still couldn't get rid of him.

After half an hour, Jinyao came back and came to reply.

"Eldest sister, second sister has sent it back."

"Hmm..." Ye Jiayao hummed absentmindedly.

"When I got home, Mrs. Qi from the Mu family was there. When she saw the second sister, she was scolded all over her face. She called the second sister a broom star and refused to come to her house after beating her husband. Anyway, it is as unpleasant as it sounds... "Jin Yao sighed.

Ye Jiayao knew that the Mu family did not want to see Jin Rong, but this mistake was made by Liu Jiang. If Mrs. Qi wanted to scold her, she would scold her nephew and blame Jin Rong for doing something.

"Your mother isn't here?" Ye Jiayao was surprised. Ning was so strong. If Qi dared to scold Jinrong in front of her, Ning would definitely fight with her.

Jin Yao said hesitantly: "My mother went back to Yangzhou the night before. I heard from my second sister that she rushed back when she learned that my father was going to renew our relationship."

No wonder, I knew that Ning would not give up.

"The second sister said that my mother was very angry and said that her father was cheating on her. She wanted her father to look good."

Uh... The trouble is big now, Ye Binghuai, Ye Binghuai, if you don't seek death, you won't die, but you have to seek death!

Ye Jiayao had two heads each. She was a little dizzy after drinking some wine at noon, but now she was even more dizzy. She waved her hands feebly: "They can make trouble as much as they like, and they can't take care of it even if they don't want to. You go back first, I want to Lie down for a while."

Jin Yao saw that the eldest sister's expression was not good and she said worriedly, "I'll ask Qiao Xi to come in and take care of her."

Ye Jiayao lay down for a while, but couldn't fall asleep. As soon as she closed her eyes, her mind was full of messy things, so she simply got up and took out a flower stretcher to embroider.

The dark blue silk satin was embroidered with several poles of bamboo. The pattern was simple and elegant, and the colors were not that complicated. She, a female rookie, could only choose these simple ones to embroider. I originally planned to make a fan bag and give it to Chunyu during the Dragon Boat Festival, but she was really slow and it took more than half a month to embroider it before it was finished. However, Qiao Xi commented that it was too slow, but slow work can produce fine work. The stitches of this pattern are fine and even, no worse than those of the embroiderers in the sewing room.

Of course, a person with a high level of understanding like her can do well in anything as long as she puts her heart into it. She just didn't put her heart into it in the past.

Slowly threading the needle, my mind gradually calmed down.

The afternoon passed in a flash.

"The prince is back?" Xiang Tao's voice came from outside.

Ye Jiayao hurriedly stopped her embroidery work and told Qiao Xi to quickly put it away and hide it.

As soon as Qiao Xi stuffed the flower bag into the cabinet, Xia Chunyu opened the curtain and came in.

Qiao Xi went to fetch water.

Xia Chunyu saw Ye Jiayao sitting cross-legged on the couch, holding her cheek in a daze. He came over, scratched her nose, and asked with a smile, "What are you thinking about?"

Ye Jiayao said lazily: "I'm thinking about unhappy things."

"What do you want to do with your unhappy things?" Xia Chunyu lifted the hem of his clothes and sat down.

"I don't want to think about it, but trouble is coming." Ye Jiayao told about Ye Jinrong's visit to her in the afternoon.

Xia Chunyu frowned and was very angry at Ye Jinrong for teasing Yaoyao. This was in front of the Hou Mansion. Didn't she embarrass Yaoyao by doing this?

"Tell the truth, do you want to help?" Xia Chunyu thought about it but still respected Yaoyao's intention.

If Yaoyao wants to help, then it is feasible to turn corruption into malfeasance. Although, he was very shameless about this behavior.

Ye Jiayao sighed: "Wei Liujiang, I hope he deserves what he deserves. I just see Jin Rong with a big belly, and I feel very uncomfortable. Moreover, Jin Rong is relying on me now. If she doesn't agree, she will come to make trouble." Yes. It is really unlucky to have such a relative on the stall."

Xia Chunyu patted the back of her hand soothingly: "Let me understand the specific situation first. If you can, help her. She can't blame you if you can't help her. But Mu Shilang is definitely hopeless this time. Today in court, , the Yushitai listed a lot of crimes, and even the Minister of Industry and the Right Minister were not immune. The emperor was furious and ordered a strict investigation. "

"Well, isn't Wei Liujiang dead too?"

Xia Chunyu raised his eyebrows and said, "It's quite troublesome."

"Then you'd better just figure it out. If you can't help it, don't worry about it. Anyway, stick to one principle and don't get yourself involved." Ye Jiayao said.

Xia Chunyu went out after dinner, and came back when it was almost time for You, bringing bad news. He said that the government office had just concluded the interrogation. The contractor insisted that Wei Liujiang ordered him to do this, and the court allocated twenty To build this section of the dam, Wei Liujiang only had 150,000 taels of silver left. When the contractor got it, he only had 80,000 taels left. What could 80,000 taels do? It's pretty good to be able to use sand.

Now it is unknown how much Shilang Mu was greedy, but the fact that Wei Liujiang made 70,000 taels of profit from it is an undeniable fact that cannot be denied. The worst thing is that Wei Liujiang is a weakling, and he has already been punished before he was punished.

Ye Jiayao was stunned, what a stupid idea.

"This man is also stupid. Since he confessed, he simply confessed to all the charges. At least he could save Minister Mu. But in order to make meritorious service, he brought out all the crimes he knew about Minister Mu. Yaoyao, this kind of person , It’s really not a pity to die, I’m afraid of helping him.” Xia Chunyu said with emotion.

"But this time Jingzhao Mansion Office moved so fast!"

Ye Jiayao was extremely speechless. After a long silence, she said, "Then don't worry about it. I'll ask Jinyao to go to Jinrong's place tomorrow."

Xia Chunyu said: "It would be better for you to go there yourself and explain the matter clearly. I'm afraid Jinyao won't be able to explain clearly."

Early the next morning, Ye Jiayao took Jinyao to Wei's house.

This house was visited once last time when they moved to a new house and entertained guests. It's just deserted and no longer the lively scene it once was.

There were only a few servants left, and as soon as they reached the entrance of the courtyard, they heard Jin Rong cursing inside.

"Get out of here, get out of here. You white-eyed wolves have no good intentions. Get out of here..."

The two girls came out of the house in disgrace.

Jin Yao stopped one of them: "Alian, what's wrong with the eldest mistress?"

Alian said aggrievedly: "Sister Xia He and the steward took away the eldest mistress's money and property last night and ran away. The eldest mistress was so angry that no one could persuade her."

Jin Yao said angrily: "This Xia He has gone too far. She has been serving the eldest mistress since she was a child. She can also do such treacherous things."

Ye Jiayao sneered in her heart, that girl Xia He was not a good person in the first place, but she still expected to be a loyal servant?

"Has it been reported to the official? Has the loss been calculated?" Ye Jiayao asked.

Alian replied: "The eldest mistress will not allow me to retaliate, and I don't know exactly how many slaves I lost."

Ye Jiayao thought about it, Jin Rong didn't dare to report it to the official, and the loss was probably not small.

The two of them went into the room and saw Jin Rong with disheveled hair, barefoot and crying on the bed.

"I told you to get out, do you hear me..." When she heard someone coming in, Jin Rong raised her head and cursed. She saw that it was the eldest sister and the third sister, and she hurriedly got out of the bed with bare feet.

"Sister, is there any news?" Jin Rong grabbed Ye Jiayao's hand and asked eagerly.

Seeing her like this, Ye Jiayao felt indescribably down and out. When she was determined to marry Wei Liujiang and worked so hard, did she ever think that she would end up like this?

"Third sister, go get a basin of water and let your second sister wash her face first."

Ye Jiayao helped her sit down in front of the dressing table.

"Has everything been stolen?"

Jin Rong's tears fell again: "All the jewelry in the dowry was stolen, as well as the box in the wardrobe, which contained tens of thousands of taels of silver notes. Sister, I have nothing, I have nothing."

Ye Jiayao wanted to say that she deserved it, but seeing that she was already miserable, she couldn't bear to say anything about her anymore.

"Where's your mother's side? Are all the things still there?"

Jin Rong was stunned for a moment: "I'm just looking after my place, I haven't visited my mother's house yet."

Jin Rong immediately called Alian and asked her to go to the madam's house to take a look.

After a while, Alian came back and said that the madam's room was locked, the doors and windows were closed, and there was no sign of entry.

Jin Rong said: "She carries the key to her mother's house with her, and none of the servants have it."

Take the keys with you? Ye Jiayao's thoughts moved and she could see that Ning had something very important in the house.

"Jin Rong, listen to me. As soon as your eldest brother-in-law came back yesterday, I asked her to go to the government office to say hello. Unfortunately, it was a step too late. Liu Jiang has already confessed everything. Not only did he commit his own crimes, but he also brought Mu The minister also confessed. There is no room for overturning this matter." Ye Jiayao told her this fact calmly. You can't hide it. Sooner or later you will know. The long-term pain is not as good as the short-term pain.

Jin Rong was stunned, looking at the eldest sister in disbelief, and said tremblingly: "Sister... eldest sister, are you telling the truth?"

Ye Jiayao nodded: "So, I came here early to let you know. If there is anything you need to prepare, prepare it quickly. After the government office reports the case, it is estimated that the house will be raided immediately."
