Chapter 286 There is progress

After this trip, A-Lian felt more confident. Seeing the eldest lady's calm and composed appearance, she seemed to have already won. The second lady's bad days were not far away.

It's not that she is not loyal enough. She was originally a maid of the Ye family. The eldest and second young ladies are her masters. The second young lady has harmed the eldest young lady once. It's a polite way to describe such means as despicable. The second young lady is unrepentant and wants to harm others. He Xiang is the second young lady's most intimate maid, but she betrayed the second young lady. It shows how much of a failure the second young lady is. Following such a cruel master, she never knows when she will be in trouble.

Therefore, she was right to stand on the side of the eldest lady. As A-Lian thought this, she let go of the burden in her heart and her steps became lighter.

Xia Chunyu had already finished his shower and changed into dark blue casual clothes. Through the lattice screen, he heard the conversation between Yaoyao and A Lian.

It seemed that Yaoyao already had a mature plan. It was embarrassing to say that these things were originally what he should have done to seek justice for Yaoyao. But now Yaoyao refused to forgive him, and he had no intention of doing anything.

I always thought that romance was not his style, but when the time came, I realized that even a hero cannot resist the temptation of beautiful women, and even a tough guy can have his tender moments.

Forget it. He will keep an eye on this matter secretly and help when needed.

After A Lian left, Xia Chunyu walked in. He had a stern face just now, but in a second he turned weak. He covered his stomach and said unhappily, "Yaoyao, I took the medicine and my stomach feels uncomfortable."

One of them was pretending to be so similar that Ye Jiayao couldn't tell them apart, and she wondered if the doctor had used too much medicine.

"Then why don't you go lie down." Although Ye Jiayao's tone was still cold, her face still showed concern.

Xia Chunyu uttered a dejected sound, staggered to the bedroom, and fell onto the bed.

Uh... Ye Jiayao wanted to say, that's my bed, you sleep on the couch. But seeing how sick and listless he looked, she swallowed the words back.

Forget it, I won’t bother with the patient.

Ye Jiayao followed him and sat down on the couch opposite. She said, "I have something to tell you. Brother Deng and Li Erniang are leaving Jinling. I bought Lai Fu Inn for 38,000 yuan."

Xia Chunyu was stunned for a moment: "Where are they going?"

"They said they were going to Wuzhou Prefecture, Li Erniang's parents' home."

"Oh, so when are they leaving?"

"Let's do it tomorrow. I originally planned to see them off, but I have classes tomorrow." Ye Jiayao said regretfully.

"Then I'll go!" Xia Chunyu sat up quickly, suddenly remembering that he was pretending to be sick, and then he quickly felt his stomach: "Ouch, it hurts when I move."

Ye Jiayao couldn't help but frown: "If you feel uncomfortable, just lie down obediently, why are you moving around?"

Xia Chunyu lay down again with stiff movements.

"Since you are so sick, you should stay at home and take good care of yourself. I will ask Song Qi to see them off tomorrow."

Xia Chunyu held his forehead with his hand and said regretfully, "It's such a bad coincidence. I haven't been sick for several years, but I'm sick now."

Ye Jiayao thought, you asked for it. He insisted on standing outside the door. He knew how cold the autumn night was, not to mention that it rained heavily last night.

You sent someone to ask if she wanted to come over for dinner tonight.

Ye Jiayao glanced towards the bedroom. What would happen if Yu Shi saw him in this horrible state?
Then he said, "Tell my wife that I am not feeling well, so I will not go over to eat, and the prince will not go either."

Xia Chunyu covered himself with the quilt and laughed secretly. This strong medicine was indeed effective. Today's progress was really huge. They went into the house and got on the bed. Yaoyao also talked to him so much.

Ye Jiayao prepared dinner herself. The doctor had warned her not to eat greasy food or high-protein foods such as eggs and fish. The patient already had a poor appetite, and if light food was not cooked well, it would be bland and tasteless, making it even harder to swallow.

If Jiang Yue was here, she would have done it. But now that Jiang Yue devotes all her energy to the pastry shop, there is really no one in the yard who can cook well, so Ye Jiayao had to do it herself.

The millet porridge was simmered over a steady fire, and a dish of bean curd and greens, a dish of three-shredded bird's nest were stir-fried. A few mustard greens buns were also made, which were then put on a tray and asked Qiao Xi to bring over.

As soon as Xia Chunyu tasted the food, he knew it was Yaoyao who cooked it. He felt a little guilty, so he pretended to be sick and made Yaoyao suffer.

Seeing that the prince was eating so happily, eating half a big bun in one mouthful, Qiao Xi couldn't help but ask, "Prince, are you really sick?"

Xia Chunyu quickly shushed him, looked outside warily, and warned in a low voice: "Don't ruin my good deeds."

Qiao Xi pouted and snorted disdainfully: "Xiang Tao must be in cahoots with the prince! This damn girl even hid it from me."

Xia Chunyu hissed nervously again.

Qiao Xi disagreed: "My Lord, the Second Young Madam has been greatly wronged this time. You must be nicer to her in the future."

Xia Chunyu said: "Do you need to tell me that?"

Hearing the footsteps, the two of them quickly shut up.

Ye Jiayao walked in and saw that Chunyu had already eaten half of his meal. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he could still eat.

Xia Chunyu had only eaten half full, but since Yaoyao was here, he had to continue pretending, so he had to reluctantly say, "I can't eat anymore."

He watched Qiao Xi take the food away. If he had known earlier, he would have told Qiao Xi to hide two big buns for him.

After rinsing her mouth, Ye Jiayao personally made a cup of chrysanthemum tea. "Drink more water when you have a cold and fever. Chrysanthemum tea can clear away heat and detoxify. Tonight's task..." Ye Jiayao glanced at the teacup in her hand and estimated based on the size of the teacup: "Five cups!"

Xia Chunyu said gloomily, "Doesn't that mean I'm too old to get up at night?"

The key is, he can't drink scented tea!
There is no way. The wife has given the order and the husband must obey.

"Just drink."

Ye Jiayao served the old man, touched his forehead, and found that the fever was not very severe, so she went on to write her lecture notes with peace of mind.

Ye Jiayao was working, and Xia Chunyu didn't want to disturb her, so he pointed at his fingers out of boredom and suggested reading a book, but his suggestion was rejected, so he had to continue pointing at his fingers.

It took an hour and a half for Ye Jiayao to finish the lecture notes. She stretched and turned to look at Chunyu. The guy had fallen asleep with the quilt in his arms, snoring slightly.

Ye Jiayao went to wash up quietly, and came back quietly, touching his forehead. Hmm, the temperature did not rise. Then she moved the small square table on the couch and lay down with her clothes on.

As soon as the lights went out, Xia Chunyu opened his eyes. His eyesight was excellent, and after a little adaptation, he was able to see in the dark.

The person on the couch was lying on her side, and it was obvious that she hadn't even taken off her coat. Was it to make it easier for her to get up in the middle of the night to take care of him?

Xia Chunyu's heart was filled with tenderness. Yaoyao was really nice to him. Even though she was angry, she still cared for him very much.

Suddenly, the person opposite stood up and looked towards him, and Xia Chunyu quickly closed his eyes.

Ye Jiayao was worried, afraid that he might need something. She couldn't sleep well and woke up at the slightest sign of trouble.

This went on for several times, and Xia Chunyu felt so distressed that she wanted to confess. She still had to go to class tomorrow. But she was afraid that Yaoyao would be even more angry after knowing it, so she could only endure it.

Oh, if I had known I would have shown mercy when beating Lu Xiaochuan, he enjoyed the beating but it was Yaoyao who suffered.

Ye Jiayao didn't get up until the second half of the night to check his temperature again. She couldn't hold on any longer and fell into a deep sleep.

Xia Chunyu didn't even dare to turn over, for fear of waking her up, and he maintained the same posture and remained drowsy until dawn.

As soon as the sun rose, Ye Jiayao got up. Seeing her eyes were tinged with blue, Xia Chunyu said worriedly, "How about letting Zhong Xiang go to class today? You can also take a rest."

Ye Jiayao said as she was putting on her makeup: "How can that be? You have to prepare before class. Today is my class, and Zhong Xiang didn't prepare. You're going to make a fool of himself by letting him go!"

Those in the training class are called students, but they are all cooks with a certain level of skills and cannot be dealt with by simply fooling around.

"Lie down and rest, take your medicine obediently, and don't let me worry." Ye Jiayao reminded.

"Oh, of course." Xia Chunyu responded quickly.

Ye Jiayao also instructed Xiangtao to take good care of the prince, and then took Qiao Xi away from home.

During the lunch break, Xiao Jing brought Mu Qinchu to the training class.

The three of them were talking in the lounge.

Mu Qinchu said, "I have seen my father. He said that he knew it was Wei Liujiang who bit him, but he was having trouble defending himself. Also, there were many officials with problems in the Ministry of Revenue. He didn't bite them because he thought someone could help him. Since everyone was just watching, he had nothing to worry about. He hoped that his merits could atone for his crime."

Ye Jiayao only cares about the Wei family: "What about the Wei family?"

Mu Qinchu said: "My father is very dissatisfied with my uncle. Since he is unkind, then we don't need to talk about righteousness. He has fallen into the situation today because of Wei Liujiang."

"What's funny is that my uncle came to my house yesterday and asked me and my mother to go to Jinan with him. Humph, we are in such a difficult situation now. When I asked him to borrow some money, he gave me 20 taels like a beggar. How can I trust him? When we get to Jinan, in his territory, can we still have a good life?"

"So, my mother and I decided to go to the government office to file a petition this afternoon." Mu Qinchu gritted his teeth.

Ye Jiayao then turned to ask Xiao Jing: "If Minister Mu gives out information about other corrupt officials, can his crime be atonement?"

Xiao Jing pondered and said, "If it is verified, it should be possible."

Moreover, most people in the Ministry of Revenue are on the side of Prince Yu. A large part of Prince Yu's benefits come from the Ministry of Revenue. If the Ministry of Revenue can be wiped out, it will be a heavy blow to Prince Yu and greatly beneficial to the Crown Prince.

This was Xiao Jing's thought, as it involved the struggle for party power. He didn't say it out loud because he was afraid Ye Jiayao would think too much.

Ye Jiayao said, "Okay then, Prince Jing will take care of it at the government office, you just need to submit the petition."

Mu Qinchu cupped his hands and said solemnly, "If my father can be relieved of his guilt this time, you two will be great benefactors of our Mu family. Please accept my greetings."

Ye Jiayao sneered: "You and I each get what we need, let's keep it simple and treat it as a deal!"

She doesn't want such a favor.

Xiao Jing said, "You have written the petition. Let me take a look at it before you submit it."
