Chapter 351 Someone From the Qiao Family Is Coming

It had been an hour and a half, and the interval between Qiao's labor pains had shortened, but Granny Wen said that it wasn't time yet, so let's see if she could give birth at night!

Ye Jiayao asked about Mrs. Qiao's condition, and Po Wen said it was okay and very cooperative. She would do whatever she said.

After a while, Chunfeng came back. Ye Jiayao went to the palace first, thinking that she would not give birth until night.

After going to Yonghe Palace to howl for a round, I went to the imperial dining room to make dinner. After finishing the meal, I hurried home in the evening.

They say misfortune comes soon, and the ancients do not deceive me. This winter has been the busiest in her two lives.

Ye Jiayao sat on the carriage and took the time to close her eyes and relax, but many things were spinning in her mind like a revolving lantern, giving her a headache.

Qiao Xi sat quietly aside, looking at the tired Second Young Mistress with distress.

Others think that marrying into a noble family, wearing gold and silver, eating and drinking, and enjoying endless glory and wealth, but the second young lady has never lived a comfortable life for a few days. She is busy with this and that, and now she is a heavy burden for the whole family. When it comes to Er Shao Nai, there are many things that we have to do, many things that we cannot ignore, we can’t avoid and we can’t get rid of them, it’s hard work and hard work...

I just regret that I am too humble and insignificant to be of much help.

Ye Jiayao suddenly opened her eyes, as if she thought of something.

"Qiao Xi, please help me remember a few things first, I'm afraid I'll forget them."

Qiao Xi nodded quickly: "Second Young Madam, please tell me."

"I'll go back to the mansion later and ask Manager Zhao to go to Prince Yu's Mansion to call Deng Haichuan back."

"The eldest mistress only hired one wet nurse, which is not enough. I will tell Lin Kun's family to hire two more wet nurses. They must be beautiful, innocent, healthy, and careful."

"Let's find out more about who is the best pediatrician in Jinling City? Please come home. He will decide on the consultation fee, but he is required to stay in the Marquis' Mansion for three months."

If the child can survive three months, it should be fine!

Ye Jiayao closed her eyes again after saying this.

Qiao Xi only felt that her nose was sore and her eyes were astringent. Couldn't the young lady put these things aside and take a good rest?

Back at the Hou Mansion, Butler Zhong and Guan Zhao ran to reply in advance.

Manager Zhao said that the accounts have been calculated and asked the second young lady to take a look.

Ye Jiayao took the account and said, "You also know what's going on at home. I'm afraid I won't have time to read it tonight. Please be patient for a day or two."

Manager Zhao hurriedly said: "Second Young Madam, don't be in a hurry, it's not the end of the year yet. In previous years, they were only distributed on New Year's Eve."

Ye Jiayao nodded and asked Butler Zhong: "Are you giving birth?"

Butler Zhong shook his head and stopped talking.

"Just tell me if you have anything to say! I have to know both good and bad things." Ye Jiayao was really afraid that he would say something bad again, but she had to listen.

Butler Zhong said: "The eldest young master secretly ran to see Cuiyan, but the boys stopped him from entering. Later, the third young master came and dragged the eldest young master away."

Ye Jiayao was heartbroken for a while, endured it, calmed down and asked, "Is that just that?"

If it was just like this, there would be no need for Butler Zhong to tell her, and he would not look solemn.

Butler Zhong really couldn't bear to say that the second young lady was already busy enough, and said: "It happened that the eldest young master of the Qiao family came to Jinling to do accounts at the end of the year. He came to see the eldest young lady. When they bumped into each other, the eldest young master Qiao was so angry that he pressed the eldest young master down. The only thing I wanted was a severe beating. I couldn't hold him back even if I tried to pull him over. The eldest young master suffered a lot..."

"You deserve it." Ye Jiayao gritted her teeth bitterly.

"The third young master said a lot of good things and finally managed to calm down the anger of the eldest young master of the Qiao family. Who knows, I don't know where Aunt Wei learned that the eldest young master was beaten, so she rushed out to talk to the eldest young master of the Qiao family. Try your best, this time it’s even worse, the eldest young master of the Qiao family has a few bloody marks on his face from Aunt Wei.”

Ye Jiayao really wanted to faint and forget it. One wave after another made her angry.

"Where is the eldest young master of the Qiao family now?"

"The third young master is accompanying me. In the side hall of the front courtyard, the third young master said a lot of good things, but he is being reasonable and wants to seek justice for the eldest mistress. I am waiting for you to go over and give me an explanation."

Ye Jiayao pondered for a moment and said: "Housekeeper Zhong, please tell me that Aunt Wei should be grounded for a month. She is not allowed to leave the Xi Xiao Kua Yard without my permission. No one in the house is allowed to tell her what is going on in the house. Whoever talks too much will be punished." sin."

"Manager Zhao, go find a place to send Cuiyan there. Be careful on the way so that no one sees her. Keep an eye on her. You don't have to be polite to her. Just don't run away or die."

The two of them took the order, and Ye Jiayao went straight to the courtyard with a face as cold as ice.

Qiao Xi quickly told Butler Zhong and Manager Zhao what the Second Young Mistress had told them before, and asked them to do it quickly.

Then he trotted to catch up with the second young lady.

When Ye Jiayao arrived at the compound, she was not in a hurry to see the eldest young master of the Qiao family. Instead, she went to the delivery room first, asked the imperial doctor and Granny Wen, and said that it was not time to give birth yet, and then went to the side hall.

Ye Jiayao entered the room and saw a man with handsome features, sitting there sulking with an unhappy look on his face. There were three eye-catching blood stains on his fair face.

Chunfeng was looking forward to Ye Jiayao like he was looking forward to the stars and the moon. It was really hard to pass these two hours.

One inattention caused the eldest brother to run off to find Cui Yan, and one inattention caused the eldest young master of the Qiao family to be scratched by Aunt Wei. All the good words were useless.

Seeing Ye Jiayao finally arrived, she stood up in surprise: "Second sister-in-law."

Ye Jiayao nodded.

Chunfeng introduced: "This is my sister-in-law's eldest brother, Qiao Mingdong."

Ye Jiayao saluted: "I, Ye Jinxuan, have met Young Master Qiao."

Qiao Mingdong cupped his fists perfunctorily, his expression cold.

Ye Jiayao understood Qiao Mingdong's mood and asked Chunfeng, "Have you had dinner?"

Chunfeng said: "I've eaten."

He turned aside to give up his upper position and asked Ye Jiayao to sit down.

Ye Jiayao sat down solemnly, was silent for a moment, and said: "When this happened, our Marquis's house was in disgrace. The Marquis and his wife have always been strict in running the family. Everyone in the house is diligent and well-behaved. Madam You trusted me, so you gave me the responsibility to take care of this house, and I thought I could take care of it well..."

Ye Jiayao smiled bitterly: "After all, I am too young and too inexperienced, so that some people have restless thoughts. There is no need to talk about right and wrong. Chunli was wrong, it was outrageous, and I was also wrong. Failure to detect it in time prevents problems before they occur.”

Chunfeng looked at Ye Jiayao in surprise, why should she take the responsibility? She has already done a good job. It is all the responsibility of the elder brother. What does it have to do with her?

With Ye Jiayao's painstaking efforts, should the Qiao family still want to settle accounts with Mr. Marquis or Youshi? Blame them for not being able to teach their children well? She took over the responsibility. If the Qiao family wanted to blame her, just blame her. She was a junior, so even if the other party said something unpleasant, she could bear it.

"What's the use of talking about this now? Since you are the head of the family, how do you solve this matter?" Qiao Mingdong said coldly.

Ye Jiayao was neither angry nor impatient, and said solemnly: "I am telling you this to let you know the attitude of our Jing'an Marquis Mansion. We will not protect our shortcomings. I told my sister-in-law before that we should not worry about anything else until the child is born. Keep this life alive, vent her anger, vent her hatred, whatever she wants to do, I will bear all the consequences."

There was a slight change in Qiao Mingdong's eyes, and the look in his eyes at Ye Jiayao was no longer so resentful.

I have to say that these few words are very powerful, but I know my sister's temper well. She is soft-hearted and has no backbone, and she cannot be cruel. When the time comes, will people be persuaded to put up with this tone?

"If Mingxiu wants to abort the child in that bitch's belly, can you do it?"

Ye Jiayao's eyes were firm: "Our Jing'an Marquis Mansion will not recognize that child."

"If Chunli must take that bitch as his concubine..."

"Okay." Ye Jiayao said.

Qiao Mingdong's anger that had just been suppressed suddenly came up again, and he heard Ye Jiayao say: "He insisted on taking Cuiyan as his concubine, so he left the house, removed his name from the genealogy, and went to Jingan Hou Mansion. He ignored people. "

Well……

Qiao Mingdong gasped. Being removed from the genealogy is the most severe punishment. It is tantamount to sentencing Chunli to death. A person who is removed from the genealogy will be looked down upon and unable to hold his head up for the rest of his life. This second young lady really has Such a great right?

"Does your attitude represent the attitude of the Marquis and his wife?"

"Don't worry, since I dare to say this, I have the final say."

If Ye Jiayao didn't have a little bit of confidence, she wouldn't dare to nod or speak out. It wasn't about whether she had such great rights, but it was about the reputation of the Marquis of Jingan, and even the future and destiny. If Chunli insisted on going his own way. , angered the Qiao family. If the Qiao family gets into trouble and is used and publicized by people with ulterior motives, the Hou Mansion will be in danger. In the face of the overall situation, Chunli is nothing.

Moreover, she was absolutely sure that between fame and fortune and green smoke, Chunli would choose the former without hesitation.

Chunfeng also understands his eldest brother's temperament. The eldest brother does not value fame and fortune, but is greedy for comfort and enjoyment. It would be more uncomfortable for him than to kill him. He knows that Ye Jiayao said this just because he was worried about An Qiao Mingdong's concubine. It will never happen. It involves national mourning. Who dares to mention this kind of thing at the risk of his life?

Therefore, Chunfeng also said: "Don't worry, young master, what my second sister-in-law said represents the attitude of our Hou family."

Qiao Mingdong swept away his previous gloomy mood and said seriously: "I feel relieved when the second young lady expresses this attitude. We will wait until Mingxiu gives birth to the child."

Ye Jiayao breathed a sigh of relief silently. Fortunately, Qiao Mingdong was not the kind of messy person. As long as he was sincere, the other party would not be embarrassed.

"Aunt Wei is an illiterate woman, and she doesn't know much about etiquette. She was taken as a concubine because she had served the Marquis for many years and accumulated some hard work. The eldest young master should not argue with her. Now I have given the order and ordered her to be grounded. , she won’t even think of gesticulating in the future." Ye Jiayao said.

Qiao Mingdong touched the scars on his face and was quite satisfied with Ye Jiayao's handling.

"The injuries on the eldest young master's face still need to be treated, so as not to leave scars, which would be a sin. Chunfeng, you stay here with the eldest young master, and I will call the doctor. I am worried about the delivery room, so I have to keep an eye on it. "Ye Jiayao stood up and said goodbye.

Qiao Mingdong also stood up to see him off, showing great admiration for this young leader. She is decisive in dealing with things, has a clear sense of right and wrong, and has the aura of a heroic woman.
