Chapter 305: Separation

Because you are the one I care about most, so your affairs are all important to me...

These words were the sweetest words Ye Jiayao had ever heard. Her heart felt like spring water flowing through it, warming and soothing.

Ye Jiayao leaned into his arms and said softly, "There's really no need to go to Master Puji. The doctor at Renhe Hall said that my body can be cured. I will take the medicine on time every day and make sure I don't miss a day, okay?"

She must give birth to a child of their own, as cute as Baoer.

Xia Chunyu hugged her lovingly. Imperial Physician Li had said that Yaoyao had a cold body and had been attacked by cold air before. He thought about it and felt that it must have been the time when she escaped from Black Wind Hill and fell into the Misty Lake...

He felt even more guilty. He was confused for a moment and couldn't see his own heart clearly. He was too careless and let her get into danger and almost lose her life.

Now she is the one who suffers. It would be great if he could drink those bitter medicines for her, but unfortunately he can't.

"Yaoyao, it's my fault. I made you suffer." Xia Chunyu blamed himself. If he hadn't persuaded her to drink that damn soup, her efforts of more than half a year would not have been in vain.

Ye Jiayao knew what he meant and consoled him, "It's not your fault. I was the same. I made you drink so much. Fortunately, you are fine, otherwise I would really regret it."

The two hugged each other in silence, feeling sorry for each other and having a feeling of having survived a disaster.

After a long while, Ye Jiayao suddenly remembered something and looked up and asked, "How is Helian Xuan's case going?"

Xia Chunyu said: "We have made proper arrangements. Prince Yu will also have people keep a close eye on him. We have also sent an urgent message to Helian Xuan eight hundred miles away, asking him to be careful."

Ye Jiayao pondered, "As soon as you left, I was wondering, could it be that Prince Yu just wanted to drag Helian Xuan along and then attack the Crown Prince?"

Xia Chunyu smiled, "He's not that stupid, nor that bold. Although some generals support him, the Forbidden Dragon Guard is in the hands of the emperor himself, and we also have people in the Five Cities Patrol Battalion. If there is any unusual movement, I or Xiaojing will know about it. What's more, the West Mountain Camp stationed in Jinling City is Helian Xuan's base camp, and there are his confidants there. If there is any unusual movement in Jinling City, the West Mountain Camp can wipe out the Five Cities Patrol Battalion and the Forbidden Dragon Guard. A coup d'état should be impossible."

"The most he can do is start with the people around the prince and weaken his power little by little."

Xia Chun was not worried about this, as the prince's loyal followers were no pushovers.

After hearing his analysis, Ye Jiayao nodded and said, "That's good. Anyway, you should be careful."

"Oh, by the way, you didn't tell me the source of the information?"

Xia Chunyu laughed: "How could I possibly tell on Ah Ruan? Wouldn't that harm her? Don't worry, I just said it was based on reliable information, without mentioning the source. What I said still carries a lot of weight, and no one will analyze where I got the information from."

Ye Jiayao felt that she was a little confused because of her concern. How could Chunyu be such a tactless person?

Liuli stayed in her own yard and hadn't gone out for several days. Ye Jiayao asked the servants and they said that the Third Young Madam refused to eat or drink and was just crying or in a daze.

Chunfeng rarely came home, which made Youshi very unhappy. She sighed when she thought of this couple.

Ye Jiayao had also inquired about Ye Jinrong, and heard that she worked quite diligently at Ruyi Embroidery Workshop. Those who didn't know her didn't know that she was once a rich lady, the pampered eldest lady of the Wei family.

Finally there is still hope, Ye Jiayao’s efforts are worth it.

Just when everyone thought that Liuli would not do anything, Liuli entered the palace.

When Ye Jiayao got the news, she rushed back home immediately.

Youshi felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, fearing that the empress dowager would summon them to lecture her again. She was really scared.

Ye Jiayao comforted her, "Mother, I don't think Liuli is going to complain. After all, it's her fault."

Youshi said angrily, "It doesn't matter whether we file a complaint or not. Can she say anything good in front of the Queen Mother? Besides, she has not eaten or drunk anything these days, and has become neither human nor ghost. If the Queen Mother sees this, she will be heartbroken and think that we are abusing her."

This is true. Liuli doesn't have to say anything. She just needs to stand in front of the Queen Mother and she will get to the bottom of it.

Well, then let’s wait for the palace’s order.

Not long after, the old marquis also rushed back.

"No movement yet?" The old marquis was a little surprised. Didn't the Queen Mother send someone to inform her immediately after she got the news last time?

You shook her head with a sad look on her face.

The old marquis said in a carefree manner: "You don't have to be so sad. This is not the first time that the Queen Mother has held us accountable. In the end, wasn't it the Queen Mother herself who suffered the loss?"

You glared at him and thought: What a rough man! Does it mean that the whole family must be punished for something to happen? Is it fun to be scolded? Last time, Jinxuan almost got slapped in the face!

After a while, a servant came running to report that the Third Young Master had heard that the Third Young Mistress had entered the palace, so he went straight into the palace.

Uh... Everyone was stunned. What was Chunfeng doing? Was he going to apologize? Or was he going to argue with Liuli?

Now everyone was getting restless. If Chunfeng was disrespectful in front of the Queen Mother, it would be terrible. "No, I have to go to the palace." You stood up and said, "Sun Madam, help me change my clothes."

The old marquis said, "Don't go. Chunyu is also in the palace today. Let Ran send a message to Chunyu and ask him to keep an eye on it."

You Shi asked anxiously, "If the Queen Mother really wants to blame him, can Chunyu bear it?"

"Then can you bear it?" the Marquis asked.

"Then I can at least beg for mercy!" That was her son, she couldn't just watch Chunfeng get punished.

"We don't know what the situation is yet, why are you in such a hurry?" The Marquis didn't take it seriously. After all, he was a general who was used to seeing such scenes. As someone who commanded thousands of troops, he was calm and composed, as if facing a collapse of Mount Tai.

Youshi said angrily, "You really don't understand your son. Chunfeng's temper is no worse than Chunyu's. He wants to divorce Liuli now. If he goes to the Queen Mother, he might tell her directly. Will the Queen Mother forgive him? When have you ever heard of a princess being divorced? Can the royal family allow such a thing to happen?"

Ye Jiayao and Youshi were thinking the same thing, but they were afraid that Chunfeng would file for divorce!

"Yes, father, how about I go with mother?" Ye Jiayao was also worried.

The corner of the Marquis' mouth twitched, and he put down the teacup domineeringly: "Let's go, let's go together. I'll see who dares to touch my son."

So, everyone changed into their rank clothes. Ye Jiayao didn't have any rank, so she changed into a solemn dress. The three of them got in two cars and headed straight for the palace.

Sitting in the carriage, You Shi also specifically reminded Ye Jiayao: "You'd better not speak in front of the Queen Mother later. If you have anything to say, the Marquis and I will talk."

Ye Jiayao knew that Youshi was afraid that she would be careless and offend the Queen Mother again. Youshi was also trying to protect her, so she nodded meekly.

When they arrived at the palace gate, they saw Chunfeng and Liuli coming out.

Chunfeng walked in front with a frosty face, and Liuli followed behind like a little wife.

Youshi hurried over and said, "Chunfeng, how are you? Did the Queen Mother embarrass you?"

Chunfeng looked at his parents and second sister-in-law, all of whom had concerned looks in their eyes and felt even more guilty. He had caused his family a lot of worry since he got married.

"Mother, it's okay." Chunfeng shook his head.

"Are you really okay?" Yu looked at Liuli in disbelief.

Chunfeng said: "Let's go home and talk about it!"

Yu's heart sank, so something must be wrong!

"Go home, go home, everyone go home first." The old marquis waved his hand and asked everyone to get in the car.

When they got home, everyone gathered in the main hall of the house.

Chunfeng glanced at Liuli, who had her head lowered, and said solemnly, "Liuli asked the Queen Mother for permission to move to her fiefdom, but she didn't agree. She only agreed to let us live in the Seventh Prince's mansion."

"What? Moving out?" You was surprised.

"Father, Mother, I think it's better to move out. I've caused so much trouble to the family over the past six months. I have a responsibility. If I move out, at least everyone will have some peace and quiet." Chunfeng said.

He really wanted to stay in this family, be filial to his parents, and live in harmony with the family. However, he was unlucky to marry a wife who only did bad things and he couldn't divorce her. The only way was to live separately. At least, it would not be so easy for Liuli to harm his second sister-in-law again.

"I don't agree." Although Youshi valued Chunyu the most, Chunfeng was the youngest son and had always been the one Youshi loved the most. She couldn't accept it when he suddenly said he wanted to move away.

The Marquis's face was not looking good either. He was still alive, but they were going to divide the family. Chunyu extorted a house, but he was not really going to move out.

"Liuli, what on earth do you want to do? You won't stop until this family is torn apart?" Yu Shi was furious. She didn't expect that Liuli came to the palace to make this request.

Liuli bit her lip and said nothing. No one in this family likes her anymore. Everyone hates her. Why is she still staying here? To be looked down upon by you?
Of course she had to leave, and Chunfeng had to go with her. After moving out, it would be just her and Chunfeng. As long as she was sincere to Chunfeng, Chunfeng would definitely change his mind.

Ye Jiayao had somewhat guessed Liuli's plan. She couldn't live here anymore, so she moved out and wanted to start over with Chunfeng. However, Liuli's doing so would only make the Marquis and Youshi hate her more, and it would be even more difficult to start over with Chunfeng. She forced Chunfeng to leave home, and Chunfeng would hate her even more.

Liuli, Liuli, you are still too selfish and never think about others. In fact, as long as you sincerely repent and behave well, Chunfeng will have a chance to change his mind instead of breaking up this family.

"Chunfeng, I don't agree with you moving away. If you want to leave, let Liuli go by herself." Yu Shi said firmly and bluntly.

Liuli's face turned pale and she looked up at Chunfeng, fearing that he would go back on his word again.

Chunfeng said, "Mother, the Queen Mother has issued an order. Besides, the Seventh Prince's residence is in the city, not very far away. I will come back to visit you often."

Yu-shi was so anxious that she was about to cry. She said to the Marquis, "My Lord, please say something!"
