Chapter 244 Preventing the Fight
"Ahem...what do you want?"
When the old marquis saw him, his eyes were glowing green and he gave two dry coughs as a warning.
Chunli then reluctantly withdrew his gaze and said with a wry smile: "It's okay, it's okay. I came to say hello when I knew my second brother was back."
He originally wanted to ask his mother for some money, but his father was here, so he didn't dare to ask. However, there was no need to ask his mother for money now. He would ask his second brother later.
Yu said coldly, "Keep these for yourselves, and change your clothes quickly. We'll have dinner later."
"Madam...something's wrong, something's wrong..." Qiaojuan, the maid who had recently been assigned to the Liuli Courtyard, ran in in a panic.
Yu's heart sank: "Tell me what happened?"
Qiaojuan said anxiously, "The Third Young Master and the Third Young Mistress are arguing."
Uh... Ye Jiayao was surprised. Chunfeng was very nice to Liuli, so why did they quarrel?
Before Youshi took a step, the Marquis urged her, "Go over and take a look."
"I'll go too." Chunyu said.
Chunli was still standing there, his eyes scanning the table.
The Marquis couldn't bear to see his greedy face, so he shouted, "As the eldest brother, why don't you go and persuade him?"
Chunli was frightened and hurriedly chased after him.
The Marquis walked to the study with his hands behind his back, shaking his head and sighing, "There won't be a few days of peace..."
Ye Jiayao asked someone to get a box, packed the things into the box, and moved it back to her own yard. She had seen the look in her eldest brother's eyes just now, and she wished she could hug them all.
Silver can be deposited in a bank, but Ye Jiayao doesn't want to deposit gold and pearls, so she will have to trouble Jiang Li again. It would be best to build a basement for her so that she won't have to worry about theft or fire.
As soon as Youshi and Xia Chunyu entered the yard, they heard the two people arguing fiercely.
"If you want to leave, leave quickly. Don't use this to threaten me. I won't fall for it." Xia Chunfeng muttered in a hoarse voice.
"You've been waiting for me to leave so that you can make room for those bitches, right? If I leave, you can live happily and carefree, right? Okay, I'll grant your wish today..."
"Princess, Princess, please calm down and don't get yourself in trouble. The Third Young Master didn't mean that." Xiaoya advised.
"What do you mean by 'not that'? Well, are you so eager to please him and want him to be your mistress? I think you are the same kind of people as those bitches..." Liuli turned her anger on Xiaoya again.
"I think you are crazy, like a mad dog, biting whoever you catch." Xia Chunfeng said angrily.
Yu Shi frowned upon hearing this. The two men didn't care about anything and were yelling so loudly. Were they too embarrassed to be in such close proximity?
Especially there was a group of servants standing in the yard, and I didn’t know whether they were anxious or just watching the fun.
"Everyone, get out." Yu shouted coldly.
Everyone lowered their heads and retreated.
Mother Sun opened the curtain for the lady. As soon as Youshi entered the room, she scolded Chunfeng without asking the reason.
"Have you been blinded by lard or stuck in the door? You've been acting stupid. If you have the guts, go show off outside. Why are you being so ruthless in front of your woman? Do you want to show off your ability? Liuli is taking care of her health. You know that. If you don't show some concern and care for her, and you make her angry, if she gets sick from being angry, can you afford to pay for it?"
When Liuli heard Youshi scolding Chunfeng, she felt more aggrieved. With tears in her eyes, she opened the cabinet to pack her things and leave.
Chunfeng cried out in grievance, "Mom, you curse me without knowing anything. It's not my fault today. I really can't stand it anymore."
Youshi gave Chunyu a look and continued to scold, "Don't complain to me. It takes two to tango. I will deal with you later." Xia Chunyu understood and pulled Chunfeng out.
Seeing the pile of clothes on the bed, Yu said to Xiaoya, "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you pack your things up quickly?"
"Mother, please don't stop me. I really can't stay here any longer." Liuli said sobbing.
Yu Shi gently tugged the clothes in her hand, took them away, and threw them to Xiaoya.
Mother Sun helped Xiaoya clean up.
Youshi smiled gently, pressed Liuli to sit on the couch, and sat down herself, and advised in a gentle voice: "I know you are in a bad mood. It is normal to lose your temper occasionally. Keeping everything in your heart will hurt your body. When a couple lives together, it is inevitable that there will be bumps and bruises. Teeth will still bite tongues. Have a quarrel and vent all the unhappiness in your heart. If Chunfeng does something wrong, I will teach him a lesson, but you can't keep nagging about going back to the palace. What's the big deal? If you leave like this, it will become a problem even if it was nothing. The Queen Mother will have to worry about you again. The Queen Mother is seventy years old this year. Do you have the heart to let the Queen Mother worry about you at such an old age?"
Actually Liuli didn't really want to leave, she just wanted to scare Chunfeng and force him to do it, but today he refused to give in.
"It is said that a girl from the same family will fight for the pride of two families. You have to take care of the face of your husband's family and your own family as well. What's more, you are a princess... If Chunfeng makes you angry again in the future, you can tell mother and I will vent your anger for you. Don't argue with him by yourself. It's not easy to drown out his loud voice. You will not only get angry but also suffer, and the servants will laugh at you. It's not worth it..." Yu Shi advised.
She was too lazy to investigate the reason. She had heard all the words Liuli had cursed, such as "make room for the bitch". Xiaoya advised her and then said that Xiaoya had bad intentions. She didn't know whether Xiaoya had such intentions or not, but she knew Chunfeng's character. Chunfeng was not that kind of person at all. Among the three young masters of the Marquis' Mansion, only Chunli was like the Marquis in this regard. Chunyu and Chunfeng were both very upright. Liuli must be depressed and suspicious.
Liuli's emotions gradually stabilized, and she said in a muffled voice: "His temper has been getting worse recently, and he gets impatient after a while. He must be blaming me for not being able to keep the baby..."
You said in a low voice, "How could it be? It's not like you deliberately lost the child, and you didn't want to! Everyone knows this very well, and no one blames you. Chunfeng only feels sorry for you, but it's impossible to say that he's not sad. In addition, he's been busy recently, so he can't help being a little impatient. Husband and wife should understand and bear with each other, as life is long."
While Youshi was persuading Liuli, Xia Chunyu pulled Chunfeng back to his room and closed the door to persuade his third brother.
However, Chunfeng started complaining as soon as he started talking.
"Ever since the child died, she has become a completely different person. I can hardly recognize her. She gets angry easily. I know she is in poor health and in a bad mood, so I have always tolerated it. But today, I just asked Huilan a few questions before entering the house, and I said that I cared about her. As a result, she rushed out and slapped Huilan in the face, and said that she would sell Huilan to a brothel and let her seduce men to her heart's content. I explained to her, but she didn't listen. She just said that I despised her. Anyway, she said a lot of messy words, which were simply filthy... I think if she continues like this, she will surpass Third Aunt."
Xia Chunyu patted his shoulder sympathetically and said, "Third brother, you should be patient for a while. When she gets better, you can take her out to relax. Everything will be fine after a while."
"If you ask me, you shouldn't spoil her. A princess is so great that she doesn't have to be reasonable. If my wife dared to be so arrogant, I would have dealt with her long ago, no matter if you are a princess or not." Xia Chunli said disapprovingly.
Ye Jiayao came to serve tea. She heard everything Chunfeng said. Liuli's condition was a bit like depression. There was no way to argue with her. She would get stuck in a rut and make the whole house restless. But giving in to her in everything was not a solution either.
"Third brother, your sister-in-law's condition is actually a disease, a heart disease. She's heartbroken and guilty about the loss of her child, but she's also afraid that you won't say it but blame her in your heart. In short, when all kinds of negative emotions pile up together, people will become more and more irritable. You have to be more tolerant and spend more time with her when you are free. The weather has been good these days, so take her out to play. When she's in a good mood, all her illnesses will naturally disappear." Ye Jiayao also advised.
Xia Chunyu nodded in agreement: "Your sister-in-law is right, don't argue with her. If you are really upset, stay away from her and wait until you calm down before going back. You can't say nice things when you are angry, and the more you talk, the more hurtful it will be."
Xia Chunfeng rubbed his temple depressedly: "If she continues like this, I will go crazy first even if she is not crazy."
Xia Chunyu sneered and said, "Why are you crazy? A man should be open-minded. What's the big deal if a woman scolds you a few times? If she scolds you rightly, just listen and correct your behavior. If she scolds you wrongly, just let it go in one ear and out the other. She has scolded you enough and her anger has subsided, so isn't it all over now?"
"Second brother, I don't agree with what you said. Men are the sky and the head of the family. How can we allow women to climb over our heads and act tyrannically? That would be terrible. There should be a limit to spoiling your wife. Your sister-in-law has never dared to say no to me." Xia Chunli said leisurely.
Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes and complained in her heart, bragging without thinking, as if he was so capable, thinking that showing off in front of his wife was great? If Qiao was also a princess, you would probably lick the foot washing water with relish, and dare to say no? What a joke, this kind of person is simply a scum, not only is he a scum himself, but he also wants to teach his two brothers bad things.
Seeing Yaoyao was unhappy, Xia Chunyu hurriedly said, "After all, the identities of the third brother's wife are different, and the current situation is special, so they can't be compared. Okay, okay, third brother, don't worry about it. Yaoyao, go and get ready. Today, the three of us brothers will have a drink and have a good chat."
Ye Jiayao smiled for Chunfeng's sake and turned around to prepare wine and food.
He went out and called Song Qilai, and told him, "The three gentlemen will drink later, you stay by the side and watch. If the eldest young master comes to borrow money again, you tell me."
Humph! Just based on what he said today, she would not lend him the money even if she gave it to beggars. Isn't he very capable? Doesn't Qiao dare to say no to him? Just ask Qiao and get it yourself!
Song Qi chuckled and said, "Okay, Second Young Madam, don't worry, I will remind the Young Master."
