Adorable Food Goddess

After Ye Jiayao returned home, she stared at the pile of books. She wanted to burn them but felt it was inappropriate. After much deliberation, she put them away first and locked them in the safe.

I don’t know when Ning will come back. If she finds something missing, she will probably come to her to ask for it, but she won’t admit it.

However, before Ye Jiayao waited for Ning to come to her door, she heard that Ning accidentally fell into the water on her way back to Jinling and Ning was drowned.

Hearing the news, Ye Jiayao felt a chill running down her spine. Isn't it a coincidence? Ning's trip back this time must have been to blackmail Ye Binghuai, and then there was an accident on the way back, which makes people have to think about that.

At first, Ye Jiayao was still undecided about whether to tell Chunyu about the booklet. Now, she no longer dared to hide it and took out the booklet honestly.

After looking at it, Xia Chunyu's face turned frighteningly gloomy.

"Could Ning's death be a fraud?" Ye Jiayao asked anxiously.

Xia Chunyu closed the book and said solemnly: "The government has determined that Ning died of drowning. The boatman's confession said that she was depressed after getting on the boat. She always stood on the bow of the boat and cried secretly. He tried to persuade her several times, but she didn't expect it. There is still a problem. In addition, the confession obtained from your father said that Ning returned to Yangzhou this time to seek reconciliation, and left sadly when the reconciliation failed... Various signs indicate that Ning has a tendency to commit suicide. "

"That's it for now. It's better to burn these things." Xia Chunyu said.

"But... you are also doubting, aren't you?" It's really hard for Ye Jiayao to accept the truth. Ye Binghuai can be greedy and ruthless, but he can be so ruthless that it makes people shudder. No matter how bad Ning is, he will not be punished until death!

Xia Chunyu held her arms and said solemnly: "What is the truth? It is a matter for the government to investigate. We cannot draw conclusions based on speculation. Listen carefully. You have never seen these books. No matter who asks, To put it bluntly, for Zhong Yuan’s sake, this matter must end here, do you understand?”

Ye Jiayao nodded blankly, of course that was the end of it, what else could be done? She had no evidence against Ye Binghuai, but her heart was full of despair and disgust for that family. First it was Ye Jinxuan, and then the Ning family. What kind of family could they do so well?

After Xia Chunyu finished speaking, he tore out the book page by page, threw it into the fumigation cage, and turned it into ashes.

"Chun Yu, I never want to go back to Ye's house or see that person." Ye Jiayao said in a low voice.

Xia Chunyu burned all the books silently, then came over, hugged her, and comforted her: "Anyway, we don't have much interaction. If I can't help it, I won't go. Don't think too much. I'm going to pick up Zhongyuan now. The Imperial College is not good for leave." Please, Ning is his biological mother after all, please let Zhong Yuan and Jin Yao go back."

Zhongyuan took three months' leave and returned to Yangzhou with Jinyao to arrange funeral arrangements. Xia Chunyu was afraid that Zhongyuan was young and didn't understand anything, so he specially sent Manager Zhao to follow him. Therefore, everything about Tianshangju fell on Ye Jiayao.

Ye Jiayao hoped to be busy. Ning's death was a lingering shadow that lingered in her heart, and would pop up from time to time to make her panic.

Strangely enough, Wei Liujiang's case, which had already been decided, suddenly took a turn for the better. Wei Liujiang recanted his confession and said that everything he did was ordered by Mu Shilang, and all the 70,000 taels of silver belonged to Mu Shilang.

Then the government seized a huge amount of property from the Mu family, including several large boxes full of gold and silver, as well as several properties in other places. Mu Shilang is usually very careful. He doesn't buy properties in Jinling or deposit money in banks. If it weren't for the house raids, no one would have known that Mu Shilang had such a rich family fortune.

Wei Liujiang's confession became a breakthrough, and the case progressed rapidly.

I heard that Mrs. Qi cried in front of the Xingbu Yamen every day, saying that she had been tricked by her nephew.

It's a pity that no one will sympathize with her tears, and no one will ponder the specific meaning of the word "entrapment". He was betrayed by his own nephew, so he was naturally cheated.

Ye Jiayao was very disdainful of Wei Liujiang's move. Others didn't know the inside story, but she knew it all. Mu Shilang took good care of him, but when the trouble came, he died in his hands. Only the Mu family knows the feeling best.

Half a month later, Manager Zhao came back.

Ye Jiayao had to ask about the situation over there.

Manager Zhao shook his head and said that the Ning family was in trouble. He insisted that Ning was killed by Mr. Ye. He carried the coffin to the Ye family and wanted Ning to enter the Ye family's ancestral grave. As a result, the Yang family refused to continue the marriage that Master Ye had not yet married. In short, after a lot of tossing, Master Zhongyuan finally knelt down and begged Master Ye, saying that entering the Ye family's ancestral tomb was Ning's greatest wish, please grant it. Mr. Ye finally agreed, but instead of engraving Ye Ning's name on the tombstone, he could only engrave his loving mother Ning's name in the name of Zhong Yuan.

It took a dispute to be resolved, and the deceased was finally laid to rest.

Ye Jiayao's heart felt cold. Does Ning really want to enter the Ye family's ancestral grave? Why do you want to be buried in peace? I’m afraid your soul will not be able to rest in peace!

"What about Miss Ye Er?"

"On the day of Ning's funeral, the second Miss Ye gave birth to a daughter. Fortunately, the mother and daughter are safe. Now Master Zhongyuan is observing mourning on the mountain, and the third Miss is accompanying the Second Miss at home. Master Ye's wedding has to be postponed. I heard that it is scheduled for After the new year." Manager Zhao replied.

"Oh, by the way, the second young lady asked me to send a message to the second young lady, how many books did she see when she was sorting out Ning's things?"

Ye Jiayao's heart trembled: "I haven't seen it before, what's wrong?"

Manager Zhao said: "It was Master Ye who asked about it. He didn't see it when he went back to Jinling to pack up his belongings."

Ye Jiayao sneered. Ye Binghuai was really nervous about that thing. He probably didn't dare to ask her for it.

If you can't find that thing, you'll have trouble sleeping and eating! Then let him keep his mind open, so that he can be more restrained in the future.

Entering June, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Ye Jiayao had no appetite after taking medicine, and now she couldn't eat even more. She went to the doctor at Renhetang to change the prescription, so she had to continue taking it even if she didn't want to.

I really hate Chinese medicine. Why can't it be made into pills or something? I have to use decoction, which is bitter and unpleasant.

On this day, Ye Jiayao had just pinched her nose and downed a bowl of soup when Cherry came in with a copy of the post.

Ye Jiayao took a look and saw that it was a post from the catering industry chamber of commerce, inviting her to attend the chamber of commerce meeting tomorrow.

Shopkeeper Li used to be a member of the Chamber of Commerce. Now that she has taken over Tianshangju, she should have a place in the Chamber of Commerce. However, there has been no movement from the Chamber of Commerce. There has not been a meeting for more than half a year. I don't know what will be discussed this time.

The Chamber of Commerce invited Ye Jiayao to participate.

So, the next day, Ye Jiayao took Zhong Xiang with her.

This time, unlike last time, she was just a little follower next to shopkeeper Li. No one knew her and treated her like nothing. Instead, everyone took the initiative to say hello to her and were polite to Zhong Xiang. After all, they took Well, it's a first place. This first place is well deserved.

Ye Jiayao returned the gifts one by one with a smile.

"Second Young Mistress, I haven't seen you for a long time..." Lu Xiaotian came over.

Last time, Lu Xiaotian won first place in the cooking group, but like Zhong Xiang, he refused to join the imperial dining room and continued to run his vegetarian dining room.

Ye Jiayao returned the courtesy: "Brother Lu, do you know what the purpose of calling everyone to the meeting today is?"

Lu Xiaotian lowered his voice and said: "We may have to re-elect the president."

Ye Jiayao was surprised: "Why? Didn't President Zheng not expire?"

"President Zheng's father is gone and he has to go back to observe his filial piety. However, Vice President Zhang Youcheng is old and in poor health, so he was unable to attend this meeting." Lu Xiaotian said.

Ye Jiayao smiled: "Then there is no need to choose? This position of president must belong to Brother Lu."

Lu Xiaotian smiled and said: "I would like to recommend you. In terms of strength and performance, who else here can compare with you? You are the one everyone hopes for."

Ye Jiayao laughed twice: "Don't do it. I'm a lazy person. I don't want to occupy the manhole and shit."

Lu Xiaotian was stunned. This second young lady was too arrogant in what she said... she was uninhibited and unrestrained.

Ye Jiayao was a quick talker, and only after she finished speaking did she realize that she was no longer Li Yao, but the second young mistress of the Hou Mansion. Talking about shitting was indeed a bit...indecent.

"Haha, I'm kidding, but I'm really not suitable to be the president. I just want to be a loyal listener. Whatever instructions Brother Lu has from now on, I will definitely follow them and firmly support them." Ye Jiayao said with a sneer.

"Hey, have you two discussed it?" Lin Changchun walked over with a smile.

"Shopkeeper Lin." Ye Jiayao curtsied.

Lu Xiaotian smiled and said: "What are we discussing?"

Lin Changchun said carelessly: "Let's discuss who should be the president. Now in Jinling City, Tianshangju and Sushanfang are the leaders in the catering industry. I won't accept it from anyone else, but I will accept it from both of you."

Ye Jiayao smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Lin, do we still need to discuss this? Of course Brother Lu is more suitable. I am a woman."

"What's wrong with women who are women? Women like you put us men to shame! Second Young Mistress, you have the most ideas. Only in your hands can the Chamber of Commerce play a real role." Lin Changchun disagreed.

"What Shopkeeper Lin said makes sense. I am a rather rigid person and not good at socializing with the government. The second young lady is more suitable." Lu Xiaotian said.

He sincerely hopes that Ye Jiayao can become the president. Ye Jiayao's ability, whether in cooking or business, is obvious to all.

Ye Jiayao has a headache. Damn it, I'm very busy now, okay? There is no time to be the president. She is a very responsible person. Once she becomes the president, she is bound to achieve something. She has to be busy, and she can barely make do with being the vice president.

"You two, please don't praise me any more. If you praise me again, I'll get carried away. I really can't be the president. Brother Lu, come on. If it doesn't work, I'll be your advisor. Uh, I'm the master. If you want If you come up with any weird ideas, come to me again!" Ye Jiayao smiled and politely refused.

Lin Changchun sighed and said: "You two are giving way here, but someone is trying hard to sit in the position of president."
