Chapter 389 There’s no going back
Xia Chun was then carried back by Song Qi.

As soon as he came back, he fell on the bed. The whole room reeked of alcohol, and Ye Jiayao didn't dare ask anyone to open the window for ventilation. When a drunk person has open pores all over his body, he can easily catch a cold.

He had no choice but to order someone to get some hot water and prepare some sobering soup, and then he changed his clothes himself.

But this guy was too uncooperative. He moved around, waved his hands around and grabbed her, closing his eyes and grinning foolishly: "Yaoyao, Yaoyao, I'm so happy. I haven't been this happy in a long time..."

Ye Jiayao smiled bitterly. She understood Chunyu's feelings. Chunfeng's happiness had always been a knot in Chunyu's heart. He always felt that Chunfeng's misfortune was his fault. But she didn't think so. It was because she felt guilty towards Chunfeng that she tolerated Liuli again and again.

Now Chunfeng has finally escaped from the sea of ​​suffering and gained a new life. Everyone in the family is very happy and relieved.

"Yaoyao, do you know? I'm really happy..." Someone was mumbling drunkenly, repeating the same sentence over and over again.

Ye Jiayao said with a smile, "I see. You are very happy, I am happy too, and everyone is happy, but your alcohol tolerance is too poor. Father still walked back by himself, but you three brothers, you all crawled under the table in a mess."

Xia Chunyu said unconvincedly, "Father is cunning..."

Ye Jiayao laughed: "Oh, so you know that your father has schemed against you!"

The old marquis was indeed cunning. He deliberately let his three sons consume each other first, and only started to take action when they had almost finished drinking.

Xia Chunyu laughed again: "Happy, really happy, Yaoyao, I'm so happy..."

As he said this, he exerted force with his hands and pulled Ye Jiayao into his arms. Because he was drunk, he didn't know how to control his strength. He just wanted to hold her, hold her tightly, and let her feel the joy from his heart.

Ye Jiayao lay on top of him in an indecent posture. She thought that Qiao Xi would bring in hot water and Xiang Tao would bring in sobering soup later. What would happen if they saw her lying on top of him like an octopus?
He struggled to get up, but the guy was holding him so tightly that he couldn't get free.

"Chun Yu, let me go, I want to change your clothes."

"Yaoyao, I'm so happy..."

"Xia Chunyu, that's enough, can you say something else?"

"Yaoyao, I'm so happy..."

Damn, isn't it the same?

"Yaoyao, I'm so happy, Chunfeng is back..."

"I know, I know. Just go and dream happily! Let me go right now."

Damn, are drunk people so talkative?

"Yaoyao, I like you so much..."

Uh...well, the truth comes out when drunk, and she likes to hear that.

Ye Jiayao couldn't break free, so she just gave up and lay on top of him and started to ask him questions.

"Chun Yu, besides me, have you ever liked other women?"

Hehehe…her response was a silly smile.

"Hurry up and tell me, or I'll ignore you." Ye Jiayao pressed.

"Yes..." someone said vaguely.

Ye Jiayao was immediately angry: "Who is it?"

OK, there are other women.

Someone hugged her and rubbed her neck: "I like Baoer, Yaoyao, give me a daughter as cute as Baoer...Yaoyao, let's have a baby!"

A pair of hands also started to become restless, touching here and there.

Ye Jiayao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Bao'er was also a woman? She couldn't even be called a girl. At best, she was just a baby girl. This bastard dared to tease her when he was drunk. He was already drunk as a mud, and he still wanted to have a child. Why don't you give birth to one for me to see!
Just as I was about to retort, I heard a slight snoring sound. I looked up and found that this guy had fallen asleep.

Ye Jiayao was speechless, but fortunately she was finally able to escape.

Only then did he successfully take off his coat and cover him with a quilt.

Looking at his sleeping face with a smile on his face, Ye Jiayao smiled helplessly and went to light a jasmine incense to get rid of the smell of alcohol in the room, otherwise, she would be sleepy tonight.

Eh? Didn't Qiao Xi go to get some hot water? Why hasn't she come back in so long?
Ye Jiayao went out to call for help. Just as she was about to lift the door curtain, she heard Xiang Tao outside asking, "Are we not sending you water and hangover soup?"

Qiao Xi replied: "You go in, I don't dare to go in, it's too tactless."

"Forget it, I won't bother you anymore." Xiangtao whispered.

"Ah... After all these years, this is the first time I see the prince drunk." Qiao Xi sighed.

Xiang Tao said with a smile: "The prince was having fun when he was drunk. He hugged the second young lady and kept yelling, and even said he wanted to have a baby..."

Qiao Xi also tried to hold back her laughter: "Don't tell anyone."

After a pause, Qiao Xi said, "I really hope that the Second Young Madam will have a child soon, and that she will be as cute as Miss Baoer and Young Master Zhuangzhuang."

"That's for sure. Like father, like son. With the looks and character of our Young Master and Second Young Mistress, the child they give birth to will definitely be more beautiful than Miss Baoer and Young Master Zhuangzhuang." Xiang Tao said with certainty.

Ye Jiayao's face flushed red. It turned out that the two little girls had seen and heard everything, so they hid away and even talked about the child. She couldn't help but glared in the direction of the inner room. You little bastard, look at what you have done, making her a laughing stock.

However, she really wanted a child. She would be nineteen after the Chinese New Year. In modern times, nineteen is the prime time for youth and schooling, but in ancient times, there were very few people who were not mothers at the age of nineteen.

The poison in her body had been completely removed, and she had been seen by another doctor, who said that everything was fine. However, due to the national mourning, Chunyu and she were very cautious and did not dare to have a child at this time to give people a chance to talk about it. Now that the mourning period was over and the dust had settled, it was time to consider having a child.

"Sister Qiao Xi..." Cherry's voice was heard outside again.

"What's the matter?" Qiao Xi asked in a low voice.

"The doorman said that the Third Young Madam is outside. She didn't say she was coming in or leaving. She is just outside. The doorman asked me to report this." Yingtao said.

Xiang Tao immediately corrected her: "What Third Young Madam? There is no Third Young Madam in the mansion now."

Qiao Xi glanced at her. What's the point of arguing about this now?
After thinking for a while, he asked, "Does Madam know?"

Yingtao said, "The concierge only told me to report back to the Second Young Madam."

Ye Jiayao lifted the curtain and came out, telling Xiang Tao and Ying Tao: "Look after the prince, Qiao Xi, come with me to take a look."

I wonder why Liuli came here at this time? If she came to cause trouble, she would teach her a lesson. Anyway, Liuli is no longer a member of the Marquis' Mansion, so there is no need to be polite to her.

Zhao Liuli just stood in front of the gate of the Marquis' Mansion in a daze, staring at the big words "Jing'an Marquis' Mansion" on the door.

The door was open, and one could see the wall with pine trees and dancing cranes in the wind.

She could just lift her foot and walk in.

However, in the middle of this open door lies an invisible door, or rather, a door of the heart. She knew very well that she could never walk through this door again.

She will enter the palace tonight. The emperor's decree orders her to enter immediately. Once she enters the palace, she is afraid that she will never be able to leave again in her life.

The situation was set and she was powerless to change it. On the way back to the palace, she suddenly wanted to come over and say goodbye to Chunfeng.

Although Chunfeng said...you don't have to wait for me to come back anymore.

She knew that everything was over, but she just wanted to see him again. This one look would engrave his voice, appearance and smile in her heart. In the long and lonely years to come, she could only rely on bits and pieces of memories to get through it.

People are like this, once they lose everything, all they think of is the good things they once had and the reluctance to let go, while the resentment and unwillingness become blurred.

In the past two years, she felt like she was having a nightmare, entangled in this dream. She clearly wanted to wake up, but she just refused to wake up.

Now that I've finally woken up, it's too late.

A figure appeared behind the screen wall.

Liuli just stood there quietly, watching the figure walking towards her.

She had no desire to escape, nor did she have the urge to go up and tear her apart, even though before coming here she had wanted to tear out the skin and tendons of the person in front of her.

This person was her enemy in her previous life and her nemesis in this life. Sadly, she could not defeat this person. She tried her best, but in the end, she still failed miserably.

Ye Jiayao walked up to Liuli, her face calm, her eyes heavy, and she just looked at her without saying a word.

Because she saw Liuli's empty eyes. There had always been only pride in Liuli's eyes. Even if she was forced to admit her mistakes on the spot, even with tears in her eyes, she was still proud and unyielding. That was her innate pride and persistent willfulness.

However, now, there was nothing in Liuli's eyes, just emptiness, which made her suddenly lose the desire to blame.

She really couldn't understand what Liuli's intention was in standing here?
Reminiscing about the past?

Feeling unwilling?

Or come and say goodbye?
Liuli was also looking at Ye Jiayao. There was no sarcasm or ridicule in her eyes, no anger or hatred, only confusion and vigilance.

Liuli felt sad. Suddenly, she felt that all this was ridiculous. It was just an accidental war of words that gradually evolved into today's result.

She couldn't help but think, if she had bought an ice drink that day and she hadn't lost her temper in Tianshangju, perhaps everything would have been different!
If there hadn't been that unpleasant experience, even if she knew that Chunyu had been married in Heifenggang and had a lover who would stay with her forever, she wouldn't have been so upset! All of this was because this was Ye Jinxuan! In her 16 years of having everything she wanted, this was the first person who made her suffer in silence!

does it worth?
does it worth?
She asked herself over and over again, however, the answer no longer made sense.

"Is Chunfeng okay?" She asked softly. As soon as she said the name, her heart was filled with tenderness.

Ye Jiayao said coldly: "What do you think?"

He should be very happy, as he finally got rid of her. He walked away so resolutely and lightly, like a bird out of a cage, with a vast world waiting for him.

And she was about to walk into that dark and endless cage.

"I just came to take a look. I'm leaving now." Liuli turned around slowly and walked towards the carriage. Every step she took seemed to be walking on the edge of a knife, and every step seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

This used to be her home...

There's no going back, no going back...
