Chapter 202 Awkwardness

Xia Chunfeng said coldly: "I kicked her, the old hag. She relied on the fact that she had served the Queen Mother and dared to bully others. The good master was corrupted by you slaves."

"You kicked people as soon as you came in, and now you're saying some weird things. Are you drunk and crazy?" Liuli was worried about Madam Shu's injury. The kick was not light.

"Someone, please call the doctor."

A few maids came in, and Liuli said, "Hurry up and help Nanny down, and get a doctor to take a look."

"Don't call a doctor. This bitch should be dead," Xia Chunfeng shouted.

Liuli asked angrily, "Did Madam Shu provoke you?"

"She knows what good things she has done." Xia Chunfeng snorted coldly.

"What does she know? You almost kicked her to death. She can't open her mouth even if she wants to explain." Liuli was very angry. Chunfeng had always been cold to her. She was already very aggrieved. Now he was hitting the people around her. Was he going to hit her next?
"Is there any need to distinguish? Third Aunt has already confessed. Now the whole mansion is in turmoil because of this old hag. Kicking her is not enough. If she dares to make up stories about the master and slander the master in the palace, she will not be able to get enough heads even if she has a hundred."

Liuli's face turned pale. She had already guessed what was going on, but she didn't expect that Third Aunt would expose Aunt Shu.

Seeing her like this, Xia Chunfeng couldn't help but sneer: "Why, are you feeling guilty? You are also involved in this matter! In order to strike down my second sister-in-law, you don't hesitate to drag me into the water. You really do everything you can!"

Liuli gnashed her silver teeth and said, "Isn't this the truth? How dare you say you don't like that bitch? I said something to her and you argued with me. It was like I stabbed you in the heart. You are my husband, but you always defend that bitch."

Xia Chunfeng's eyes were clear and his voice was as cold as a spring: "Zhao Liuli, stop distorting the facts here. You know how you got into this house, and not only you, but everyone knows it."

He took another step closer: "You keep calling her a bitch. How much do you hate her? This is the first time in your life that you've suffered at her hands. The man you like has been snatched away by her. She's like a thorn in your heart and a grain of sand in your eyes. You must get rid of her as soon as possible. What am I? A husband?"

He sneered at himself: "I am just a tool for revenge in your hands."

Liuli's lips trembled, she wanted to deny it loudly, but there was a voice in her heart saying: I just hate her, I just can't bear to see her do well, so what?

Xia Chunfeng changed the subject, and the sarcasm became more obvious: "You think that you can do whatever you want just because the Queen Mother loves you, and everyone has to submit to you. The emperor is self-disciplined and wants to win people over with virtue. What is your basis? Benevolence, kindness, intelligence, virtue, or ability? Ask yourself, which one do you have?"

"Second sister-in-law's background is not as good as yours. She is not loved by her father, stepmother, and sisters. She almost lost her life. But she never complained in adversity. She is hardworking, kind, generous, and magnanimous. She knows how to cherish and is down-to-earth. Everyone likes to be friends with her. Her subordinates are all devoted to her. Men, women, old and young all like her. My brother would rather lose his head than marry her. Zhao Liuli, apart from this identity, what else can compare to her? Put aside your identity, what are you, Zhao Liuli?"

Liuli's eyes were filled with sadness. It turned out that in his eyes, she was worthless and good for nothing. He praised the man surnamed Ye to the sky and trampled her into the mud. She said in shame, "You still dare to say that you don't like her. In her eyes, everything is good."

Xia Chunfeng said frankly, "Yes, I like her, but she is not as dirty as you think. When she was Li Yao, I liked to make friends with him. When she was my second sister-in-law, I respected her and she deserves my respect. So, Zhao Liuli, please put away your ridiculous speculations. Not everyone is as dirty as you are. Instead of racking your brains to plot against others, you might as well reflect on yourself. You reap what you sow. If you keep planting thorns, you will only get wounds all over your body."

Liuli roared, "I don't need you to preach to me, get out of here, I don't want to see you again."

Xia Chunfeng sneered: "Same here, I just don't want to see you either."

With that, Xia Chunfeng turned away.

Liuli looked back at his resolute back, and the tears she had been holding back could no longer be held back and fell. If there hadn't been someone named Ye, how could she have ended up in such a situation?

She shouted loudly: "Xiaoya, prepare the sedan chair, let's go back to the palace."

Xia Chunfeng paused, turned around and glared at Xiaoya. Xiaoya lowered her head deeply and did not dare to ask anyone to prepare a sedan chair.

"Xiaoya, are you deaf? I don't want to stay in this place for a moment."

Xia Chunfeng originally wanted to punish Shu Ma and let it go, but Liuli kept coming back to the palace to complain, which made him unbearable.

"Amu, guard the gate for me. If anyone dares to step out of this yard today, I will break her legs." Xia Chunfeng also became ruthless.

Liuli opened the curtain and rushed out, her eyes stern: "I want to see who dares to stop me."

As she was about to leave, Xia Chunfeng reached out and grabbed her arm, saying expressionlessly, "If you leave this door today, I will present a letter of divorce to the emperor."

Liuli glared at him: "Aren't you afraid that it will bring disaster to your whole family?"

Xia Chunfeng's eyes darkened and darkened, and two words popped out from between his teeth: "I'm afraid."

Liuli felt a little proud, I just rely on this identity, what do you think? You are still afraid after all. His eyes suddenly became sharp, and he gritted his teeth and said, "So, I won't give you this opportunity to report the crime. Even if I have to go to hell, I will drag you down with me."

Liuli felt a chill in her heart: "You...what are you going to do?"

Xia Chunfeng pulled Liuli back into the room and slammed the door shut.

The loud noise shook the dust off the eaves. Xiaoya shuddered and looked at the door worriedly, not knowing what to do. Would the princess suffer a loss?

Ye Jiayao followed Chunyu nervously back to her own yard. After Chunyu came out from Youshi's place, he said nothing, his face was as gloomy as water, and he ignored her and just kept walking forward.

Is he angry? But it's not her fault. Did he believe the nonsense of Zhou and Shu? Ye Jiayao has experienced Chunyu's pettiness. Last time, because of Xiaojing's matter, he came up with so many tricks to torment her.

Back in the house, Xia Chunyu still had a cold face. Ye Jiayao hadn't seen him like this for a long time and was a little scared.

"Qiao Xi, pour me a cup of hot tea." Ye Jiayao ordered.

Qiao Xi responded and brought up the tea in a moment.

Ye Jiayao took it, motioned Qiao Xi to go out, and personally delivered the tea to him: "Have a drink!"

Xia Chunyu looked up at her, his deep black eyes without a trace of emotion, only making people feel cold.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I did something wrong?" Ye Jiayao put the teacup on the coffee table. She didn't like the look in his eyes, as if he was a police officer interrogating a criminal.

"What do you think?" His voice was as cold as his eyes.

Ye Jiayao was angry. She had suffered such a great injustice. Shouldn't he comfort her and persuade her not to be angry? Instead, he made things worse for her.

"Are you doubting me? Do you believe the nonsense they said? I'm busy every day, let alone having a private meeting, I hardly even see Chunfeng..."

"Why are you so anxious to explain to me? Am I a fool? Can't you judge right from wrong?" Xia Chunyu said coldly.

Ye Jiayao asked, "Who are you angry with? Who are you showing your stinking face to?"

"I'm angry with you. Who do you think I am? I'm your husband, and you didn't tell me when this happened and ran to find mother. When I came out of the study, he was gone. If Xiangtao hadn't told me, I would still be in the dark. Your wife is wrongly accused of cheating, and you, as a husband, have to hide like a turtle? Do you know how this feels? Do you think I'm incapable of protecting you, or do you think there's no need to tell me?" Xia Chunyu raised his voice.

"Why is it always like this? When something happens, I'm not the first person you think of. Am I so useless and irresponsible in your eyes? Do you really not trust me?"

Uh... Ye Jiayao was speechless. She really didn’t think so much at the time and just felt that she could handle it herself.

"Yes, you are capable and can handle everything by yourself. I, your husband, am dispensable." Xia Chunyu was in a bad mood and didn't want to argue with her, so he simply got up and left.

Ye Jiayao hurriedly pulled him back: "Where are you going?"

"Leave me alone." Xia Chunyu shook her hand away angrily.

Ye Jiayao grabbed him tightly again: "If you leave in anger like this, what will others think? They will think that I really did something wrong."

Xia Chunyu was upset. He turned around, opened the cupboard, took out a quilt, and went to the study alone.

Ye Jiayao was dumbfounded. Was he going to sleep in a separate bed from her?
"Chun Yu, is it really that serious? It's not a big deal. At most I can come to you if I have any problems in the future. I'd love to do that!" Ye Jiayao followed him.

Xia Chunyu was only concerned with spreading the quilt on the couch. After spreading the quilt, he crawled into the couch without taking off his clothes and lay down.

"Think carefully about how I feel towards you. Don't bother me until you have figured it out." Xia Chunyu turned around and ignored her.

Ye Jiayao was also angry. She returned to the bedroom angrily and sat on the bed, staring at the study. What a psycho! What did she want to think? Didn't she say that she would look for him if she had any problems in the future? What else did she want? If he wanted to sleep in the study, then let him sleep in the study. It was spacious enough for her to sleep alone.

But I couldn't fall asleep lying alone, so I was used to curling up in his arms, listening to his steady heartbeat, and feeling the warmth of his body, which was as warm as hugging a big stove. I was not afraid of any cold weather.

Ye Jiayao sat up and wanted to call him to come over to sleep, but it was dark and quiet on the other side of the study, so she couldn't call out. Frustrated, she pulled the quilt over herself without thinking.
