Chapter 320 Stupid Woman
Ye Jiayao's words were polite and well-mannered. She not only pointed out that the other party's status could not be compared with that of Prince Yu's concubine, but also expressed her sincerity. It made perfect sense.

But those ladies did not want to give up and took advantage of loopholes in the rules to start making trouble.

"Since the rules have been broken, one more is too many, a few more are also too many. Will the dessert house be unable to accommodate more of us? Will it be unable to supply us?" The wife of a military general sneered.

"That's right. Having more of us won't cause any problem. We promise not to tell anyone." The wife of another vice minister of the Ministry of Works said with a smile.

"We promise not to tell anyone." The other two nodded in assurance.

Ye Jiayao looked at the four noble ladies in front of her, some playing the good cop and some playing the bad cop, and she wanted to pester her to the end.

She knew very well that the visitor had bad intentions. She could still deal with Lin alone, and it made sense. But if she nodded and allowed these ladies to join the club, haha, she would absolutely not believe in their promises. Once the door was opened, it would be like a flood that could not be stopped. By then, Lin would incite some members to cause trouble and escalate the situation, and the reputation of Ye's Dessert House would be damaged.

This loophole must never be opened. It is better to offend these few people than to offend a group of people.

Ye Jiayao was neither anxious nor impatient, and slowly said: "Thank you for your respect for my small dessert shop. To be honest, I do have a few vacancies in hand, but the last few vacancies must be unanimously agreed upon by the five gold card members. This is also the original intention of designing the gold card system. It is the privilege of being a gold card member. Prince Yu's concubine was approved by everyone and is on their acceptable list. Why don't I ask them? If they have no objection, I will naturally welcome everyone with open arms, okay?"

Ye Jiayao pushed the responsibility onto the gold card members. The gold card members of the dessert house were Princess Yide, the Crown Princess, A Ruan, the wife of the Marquis of Yongning, and Zhu. These people had close relationships with her, and it was up to her to make the decision. But now that they were put forward as a shield, it should still be very effective. Do they still dare to question Princess Yide? Question the Crown Princess?

As expected, as soon as these words came out, the arrogance of the four ladies disappeared, and they looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.

Ye Jiayao took the opportunity to say, "After the New Year, the dessert house will be expanding. Although the scale is expanding, the number of places is still limited, and will not exceed twenty. You should know that there are still many people queuing up to join. If you meet all of your conditions and really want to join, I can reserve a place for you. How about it?"

These people exchanged glances. They were all people who moved around in the circle of wealthy ladies, and they all knew the subtleties involved. Although they were being instructed by someone, the power of the person instructing them could not compete with the gold card members here. If they continued to make trouble, not only would they not get any advantage, but they would also offend people who should not be offended. Why bother?

It is hard to believe that the power behind the second young lady of the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion is so strong.

"We didn't know the rules here before. Now that Madam Xia has explained it clearly, we can't make things difficult for Madam Xia. Let's wait a little longer. Madam Xia must reserve a place for us!" The wife of the Minister of Works was the first to compromise, not wanting to fall out with Ye Jiayao.

"That's for sure. I'll pre-register you first!" Ye Jiayao said with a smile. She wrote down their names and gave each of them a box of pastries before sending them away.

Ye Jiayao looked at the four names in the small notebook, as well as the three people who had been here before, with a sneer on her face. The first blacklist was obtained. The men on these lists must be from Prince Yu's group. Otherwise, how could their women obey Lin's orders and come here to cause trouble!

I will give this book to Chunyu later.

Chunyu was quite surprised when he got the list: "I didn't expect that General Zheng, the deputy general of the Five Cities Army, was also Prince Yu's man. What a surprise... Yaoyao, you really helped me a lot."

Ye Jiayao just thought that this list might be useful, but she didn't expect to catch a hidden spy.

"It's just that these women are so stupid that they don't even realize they are harming their husbands." Ye Jiayao couldn't help but gloat when she thought of their aggressive attitude today.

Xia Chunyu laughed and said, "I hope they can cheat me a few more times, cheat me to death."

This unexpected gain made Xia Chunyu very excited. He had always suspected that there were people from Prince Yu in the Wucheng Bingmasi, but the other party acted in a secretive way and could not be found. Instead, they came to his door on their own initiative.

Ye Jiayao was very happy to be able to help Chunyu. Her previous worries disappeared without a trace. As the saying goes, fortune goes with misfortune, and misfortune goes with fortune. Lin wanted to make things difficult for her, but unexpectedly gave her a list. It was such a good deal that she couldn't help but look forward to having a few more people tomorrow.

At this moment, in Prince Yu's Mansion, after hearing the reply from the person she had assigned to cause trouble, Lin's face turned pale and she gritted her teeth in anger.

"What a powerful move, actually using the gold card membership as a shield."

"This Ye Jinxuan is indeed extraordinary. From beginning to end, she was always smiling and had a gentle attitude. Even when Madam Zheng made sarcastic remarks to her, she did not get angry or impatient. Among the gold card members, there are the Crown Princess, the Princess of Yu, the Princess Yide, and the wife of the Marquis of Yongning. She has taken care of all the forces from all sides, and these people have a close relationship with her. We can't find any loopholes in her at all." said the wife of the Minister.

Lin almost wanted to vomit blood. Before the fight, she thought Liuli was useless, that's why she lost so badly. She believed that she would be able to win easily if she took action. Now she realized that she underestimated the enemy and couldn't even take down a dessert house.

"Should we ask a few fierce guys to go over and make trouble tomorrow? We can't win over her logically, so we might as well give up and just make trouble, stirring up the anger of those who don't know the inside story and launching a large-scale condemnation." The wife of the Minister suggested.

Lin was silent for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, let's do it this way. If we want to make a scene, we'll make it big, so that she won't be able to explain herself even if she has a mouth full of mouths." A cold light flashed in the eyes of the assistant minister's wife, "I'll go find someone right away."

Just as the assistant minister's wife was about to leave, Prince Yu walked in with a frosty look on his face, and she hurriedly saluted.

Prince Yu had a blank expression on his face, his eyes were cold and sharp, and his voice was as cold as ice: "This is the end of this matter."

Lin rarely saw Prince Yu with such a serious expression, so she gave the assistant minister's wife a look and asked her to leave first.

The assistant minister's wife tactfully slipped away.

Lin smiled, walked forward, took Prince Yu's hand, asked him to sit down, and diligently poured him tea and massaged his shoulders.

Prince Yu's shoulders trembled, he avoided her hand, and his face was cold.

Lin's heart tightened, and her smile became more gentle. She asked in a gentle voice, "Is there anything bothering you today, Your Majesty?"

Prince Yu stared at her straight, wanting to call her a fool, but the person in front of him was the one he loved after all, so he suppressed his anger and said coldly, "Who did you send to cause trouble?"

Lin curled her lips and said, "How can this be called making trouble? Ye Jinxuan thinks she is so great because she has the support of the gold card members. I must teach her a lesson. Besides, the higher her status in the circle of noble ladies in Jinling, the worse it is for us. We must remove this thorn in our side."

Prince Yu sneered: "You want to teach her a lesson? Don't let her help count the money after being sold, and count it happily."

Lin was not convinced and grumbled, "Your Majesty, you underestimate me too much."

Prince Yu sneered, "Do you think I am exaggerating? You are definitely not her match, and you might even ruin my plans."

Then he said with a serious expression: "Tell me, who did you call to cause trouble?"

Seeing him acting so majestic, Lin felt a little scared and told the list honestly.

Prince Yu listened, his face became darker and darker, so dark that water seemed to drip out. He glared at her for a long time, and finally couldn't help but blurt out two words from between his teeth: "Stupid woman."

Lin looked at Prince Yu in disbelief, tears of grievance quickly filling her eyes, and she looked so pitiful that she was about to fall.

"My Lord, how can you speak of me like this?"

Prince Yu said angrily, "You are so smart that you exposed your family's past to others. Could Ye Jinxuan not have thought that you sent those people? As long as she goes back and tells Xia Chunyu who has caused trouble, Xia Chunyu will immediately know who are our people. Forget about those people who are in the open, but you actually exposed those who I spent a lot of effort to win over and those who have not been exposed yet. Do you feel wronged when I call you a stupid woman?"

Lin was speechless for a long time. She really didn't think about it that way. If she really ruined the prince's plan, then she would have put in a lot of effort and ended up doing something bad.

Lin held onto a glimmer of hope and said weakly, "Maybe, she can't imagine..."

Prince Yu glared at him again: "Do you think everyone is as stupid as you?"

"This matter ends here. I warn you, don't mess with Ye Jinxuan. She is not a simple person. If you dare to ruin my business again, you can go home!" Prince Yu was furious. For the first time, he spoke harsh words to Lin and left in anger.

Ever since the last kidnapping incident, Prince Yu felt that Ye Jinxuan was extraordinary. She had just been frightened so much, but she was still able to keep her composure and hold a wedding banquet. This calmness alone was not something that ordinary women could have. Later, she quietly fought for status for A Ruan by sending moon cakes. He couldn't say anything to her. Tianshangju, pastry shop, dessert house, training class... everything she did was successful and enviable. A woman could become the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce. Liuli had fought with her several times and was defeated miserably. Even the Queen Mother suffered from her. How could such a woman be simple?

Prince Yu even thought that if this woman was his, she would definitely be a virtuous wife who could help him, but unfortunately, the beauty already had someone else.

Seeing Prince Yu leave angrily, Lin slumped down on the chair. Did she lose just like that? She was defeated miserably in the first fight, but she was unwilling to accept it...
