Chapter 352 Dark People

After watching Ye Jiayao leave, Qiao Mingdong asked Chunfeng: "Where is your second sister-in-law from?"

That kind of aura that is sometimes calm and sometimes sharp is not something that an ordinary lady would have.

Xia Chunfeng smiled faintly: "My second sister-in-law is a strange woman. Her background is not obvious. She is just the daughter of a fellow magistrate in Yangzhou. But she is really powerful and lives in the sky. Have you heard of it?"

Qiao Mingdong nodded: "I have heard of the name Tianshangju in Suzhou. It is said to be the number one restaurant in Jinling."

"It wasn't even a year ago. It was only after my second sister-in-law took over that Tianshangju made great progress."

Xia Chunfeng said, with a look of admiration naturally showing on his brows.

Qiao Mingdong was stunned and asked in surprise: "She is the shopkeeper of Tianshangju?"

"That's right, she's still walking in the imperial kitchen. The vice president of the Jinling Catering Chamber of Commerce is very capable. Moreover, she has a good relationship with her sister-in-law, so don't worry."

Qiao Mingdong couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. Is there such a powerful woman in this world? The grandma of the Qiao family is considered a figure. She single-handedly established the foundation of the Qiao family, but she does not have the skills of the second mistress. She can achieve this level in one year. Mingxiu is lucky to have a good relationship with her.

Well, he really doesn't have to worry. As long as Mingxiu survives this, I believe there is no problem that cannot be solved.

Ye Jiayao didn't know that Chunfeng said a lot of good things, which was not as effective as bragging about her. At this moment, her heart was tugged by the dull moans inside.

The women were busy in and out, bringing in pots of hot water and bringing out pots of blood. Her scalp was numb and she was breaking out in a cold sweat. With so much blood shed, won’t it all be shed?

It's really scary for a woman to give birth to a baby. This is her second baby. Isn't the first baby even more dangerous?

Hongxiu came in and reported: "Mama Gui from Prince Helian's Mansion is here."

Ye Jiayao said hurriedly: "Please come quickly."

A maid led Mother Gui in.

"Second Young Mistress." Gui's mother gave her a blessing.

"My ancestors are thinking about you, so I asked my slave to come and take a look."

Ye Jiayao asked Gui's mother to sit down while the maid made tea.

"It's been so long since she was born yet." Ye Jiayao was worried.

Gui's mother asked: "What did the imperial doctor say?"

"The imperial doctor said that because the baby was not full term, he couldn't use his strength and had to rely on his mother. But my sister-in-law didn't have much strength either."

Gui's mother was silent and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, giving birth to a baby is dangerous. Just get over it and it will be fine. The eldest mistress is auspicious and everything will be fine."

With Gui's mother sitting here, Ye Jiayao felt more at ease. Time passed by, but the child still didn't come out.

After a while, Mrs. Zhou also came, looking very shocked: "Why do you say that the baby is born? Isn't it not the time yet?"

Ye Jiayao knew that Mr. Zhou was a big talker and an inquisitive person. Fortunately, the government issued a hush-hush order and no one was allowed to mention it. Just as she was about to explain, Gui's mother said: "Premature birth is not uncommon."

Mrs. Zhou looked at Gui's mother, but she was sitting side by side with Ye Jiayao. She didn't dare to make a mistake and asked, "This is..."

"This is Mother Gui next to Princess Yide." Ye Jiayao introduced.

Mrs. Zhou immediately had a smile on her face: "Let me tell you, Mama Gui comes from a wealthy family. She is really impressive."

Gui's mother smiled lightly: "Madam, you are joking."

Zhou originally wanted to come and have a look and then leave, but the people around Princess Yide were there, so she stayed a little longer and chatted with Gui's mother.

Ye Jiayao hopes that Zhou will leave as soon as possible. This person is an unstable factor here.

Gui's mother was an old woman, and she could make a guess just by looking at Ye Jiayao's expression. Besides, she didn't like talking to Mrs. Zhou. After drinking a cup of tea, she said, "Looking at this situation, I won't be able to give birth to you for a while, eldest princess." I am not in the house, and my ancestor is alone. I am worried about it, so I leave first. When there is good news, remember to come and report it, so that my ancestor will not worry about it."

Ye Jiayao said: "Definitely."

When Mrs. Zhou saw Gui's mother was leaving, she didn't want to stay. She didn't know how long she would have to wait until Mrs. Qiao was born. She didn't give birth so quickly, so she smiled and said, "I have something to do at home, so I'll go back first. If it's here, If there is any need for me, Jinxuan, please send someone to let me know and I will come over."

"Mama Gui, let's go together!" Zhou said warmly.

Mother Gui smiled and said nothing, and the two of them left together.

Chunfeng and Qiao Mingdong were also restless in the side hall, walking around with their hands behind their backs, and almost bumped into each other. The two smiled awkwardly, and Chunfeng said: "It's better to sit down and wait! We can't use our strength, so we can only wait. .”

Qiao Mingdong smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, I didn't expect to catch up with you this time. Originally, my mother said she would visit Jinling later in the year."

The two sat down and ordered someone to change them to hot tea.

After just two sips, someone came to report that it was the Third Young Master who sent someone to look for the Third Young Master.

Chunfeng complained and went out to meet people.

It’s Xiaoya who comes.

"Didn't I tell you that I have something to do at home and won't go back tonight?" Chunfeng said.

Xiaoya said: "I came here and found out that the eldest mistress is about to give birth. Young master, you know what the third mistress is afraid of."

Chunfeng's eyes turned cold. He knew that Liuli had mentioned this matter more than once. As long as someone at home came to see him or he came over, Liuli would tell lies and suspect that he and his second sister-in-law had something to hide. People's affairs.

"I think she is full." Chunfeng said displeased.

Xiaoya said: "How about I go back and tell the truth? The eldest mistress is about to give birth."

Chunfeng thought for a while, nodded and said, "Let's just say that I am accompanying the eldest young master of the Qiao family."

Xiaoya said: "Third Young Mistress, my servant will take care of her, don't worry, young master."

Chunfeng watched Xiaoya leave and said silently: As long as you are here, I have nothing to worry about.

This person was saved right.

After hearing Xiaoya's reply, Liuli said hesitantly: "Isn't my sister-in-law's delivery date in February? It's only December now, why is it so early?"

Xiaoya said: "I don't know about this slave. It happened that the eldest young master of the Qiao family came to Jinling to take stock of the accounts. The prince is not in the house now, so a man must stay to accompany the guests, so the third young master stayed."

In fact, she had heard that the eldest mistress seemed to be angry with the eldest master and had a fetus. The specific situation was not clear, so she simply said she didn't know.

Liuli snorted coldly: "Why are there no men? Isn't the eldest master a man? If he doesn't accompany his brother-in-law, he will let others accompany him."

Xiaoya didn't see the eldest young master, so she didn't know the eldest young master's situation, so she had to make up nonsense: "How can the eldest young master still have time to accompany her now? The eldest young master was born prematurely, and the eldest young master is very anxious."

Liuli thought about it and it made sense, so she stopped worrying about it. However, it was a bit strange that her sister-in-law had given birth prematurely!

"What about the one named Ye?"

Liuli made no secret of her disgust for Ye Jiayao in front of Xiaoya and called her surnamed Ye.

"The second young lady has been keeping watch in the eldest young lady's house." Xiaoya replied.

Liuli sneered and spoke softly: "Of course she has to guard it. Madam left this home to her. Madam left only a short time ago when the eldest mistress gave birth prematurely. If it was because of the eldest mistress herself, that's all. If it was because of other things, , hum… The person named Ye is definitely to blame!”

"You went over there and didn't ask any questions. Didn't you hear any news?"

Liuli glanced at Xiaoya dissatisfied.

Xiaoya said calmly: "I asked my mother-in-law, who said that premature birth is common. Everyone is busy running around, so I am too embarrassed to ask more questions."

Liuli pondered: "Xiaoya, do you think I should go over and have a look?"

Xiaoya was afraid that the princess would cause trouble if she went over. The third young master certainly didn't like the third young mistress coming over, so she said, "It's okay for the princess to go for a while and take this opportunity to make peace with the eldest and second young ladies. As long as you are willing to put down your status, they still dare to argue?"

Xiaoya understood the princess's temper and deliberately said the opposite.

Sure enough, Liuli sighed: "I want to please them? Do I need to please them? It's a beautiful idea, I just want to go over and see what's going on."

"If there really is a situation, you can find out when you inquire about it. Now go over, everyone is busy, and when you go over, it's hard to just take a look and leave. The second young lady is guarding there, so you have to guard too, right? Otherwise, If others want to gossip again, they simply pretend to be unwell. When I went to invite the third young master, I just said you were not feeling well. The third young master even asked your servant to serve you well," Xiaoya said.

Liuli hesitated. What Xiaoya said made sense. If you go to trouble, it's better not to go. It will be clear in a few days if you ask Mr. Zhou to come and ask. Mr. Zhou lives nearby and must know a lot.

"Forget it, let's not go. I've really not been feeling well these past few days. The Queen Mother is gone, and the people in the palace are lukewarm when they see me. Even the Queen is like this. Hey... I'm leaving for tea. Liang, they are all snobbish." Liuli said angrily.

"Princess, maybe you are too worried. Everyone is sad right now, so how can they have the heart to think about this." Xiaoya advised.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Liuli's mouth: "Sad? The howlings one by one are quite exciting, just like the death of one's own mother, but how many are really sad? They are all fake."

Xiaoya thought to herself, the Queen Mother loves you so much, how many times did you visit her when she was sick? If you say others are being hypocritical, how filial do you feel about yourself? Otherwise, why didn’t the Queen Mother announce your entry into the palace when she was dying? I must have seen you clearly too! It was a waste of pain and so much infamy.

Once some people see something through, it is difficult to treat them the same as before. In the past, they would feel that what the princess did was inappropriate, but thinking that she is their master, there is nothing wrong with the master, and the master has difficulties. , the slave had to help share the worries and solve the problems. Now I feel that I was so stupid in the past, and I actually helped to do so many bad things.

Fortunately, the third young master did not dislike her and saved her when she was in the most critical moment. According to the third young master, the second young master also secretly looked for her, but she was the one who repaid her with her life and refused to save her. What is there to say? The princess is always surrounded by intrigues, resentments and suspicions, all dark and obscure things that can drive people crazy. If it weren't for the third young master, she wouldn't be able to stay for a day.
