Chapter 367: Not over yet

Lin was dismissed and King Yu apologized face to face. Several related wives were disciplined and stripped of their imperial mandate. A rumor had become a taboo subject. Who dared to talk? The result was obvious.

You was a little comforted. It was useless to say anything like this. You was going straight to the ground and sweeping all gossip with a furious rage.

This time, everyone’s target was Lin, and Liuli survived. But You think she should talk to Chunfeng. Such a daughter-in-law would be a scourge sooner or later. Anyway, the queen mother was dead now, and the queen would definitely decide for them.

Now, You still had one of the most important things to solve.

Zhou, wait for me.

In the small kitchen of Jing ‘an marquis house, Ye Jiayao stared at Chunyu who was sitting opposite and savored the steak.

“Is it good?” Ye Jiayao asked expectantly.

She had already decided to open a western restaurant at the end of the funeral period. Mrs Rong’s approval gave her confidence. If Chunyu also liked it, it would be no problem.

Chunyu’s demand for food had always been very high. As soon as the steak was presented, he was attracted by the fragrance. Men were mostly carnivores and liked to drink in large bowls and ate large pieces of meat. It had to say that the meat tasted wonderful.

“The meat is fresh and juicy, sweet and delicious, with an endless aftertaste, and the pepper juice is spicy, strong enough, with beautiful side dishes, plain and light, just to combine the greasy quality of beef. Of course, this beef is not greasy, but, after all, it is a meat dish, and the meat and vegetable collocation is reasonable. The key is this soup, appetizing and keeping in good health, excellent.”Xia Chunyu’s comments were professional.

Ye Jiayao laughed: “Do you think there will be a market for this?”

Chunyu smiled: “I don’t know others, but Qixuan and Little jing must like it, but it’s a bit unaccustomed to using knives and forks. Is this really the way western barbarians eat it?”

“Yes, and it can be enjoyed by aristocrats. Ordinary people can’t eat knives and forks. We Chinese people are not used to it, but it is not difficult to master. I think you can cut two pieces without extra trouble.”

Xia Chunyu said, “It’s natural. Your husband learns everything very quickly.”

Ye Jiayao smiled and said, “You’re going to stink!”

Xia Chunyu said, “Am I not telling the truth?”

Ye Jiayao was too lazy to ignore him and said, “Tell me, is there anything else that needs improvement?”

Xia Chunyu thought and said, “It would be good to have more food.”

“That’s all right. Then there will be cakes and fruit, well, wine.”

“Wine is not strong enough.”

“Then get some mellow white wine, apricot blossom village and so on.”

“Well, yes, yellow wine is not very suitable. It must be white.”

The two of them talked about how to make the western steak more in line with the Chinese taste.

Xiangtao suddenly ran in.

“Heir-son Lord, Second lady, someone saw Madam back just now and went back to her room and heading straight to Third lady.”

Ye Jiayao said unhurriedly, “What’s the fuss about this?”

Xiangtao said, “The problem is, madam looks very angry.”

Ye Jiayao and Xia Chunyu looked at each other. Was mother going to look for Zhou’s bad luck?

Xia Chunyu wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and got up and said, “I’ll go and see. You’re at home.”

Ye Jiayao said quickly, “I’ll go too.”

If she really want to find Zhou, she may not be Zhou’s opponent, and she was also very curious. How did Zhou get to You? Recently Zhou didn’t come to the mansion much!

The two men hurried to Zhou’s palace.

The Zhou family was entertaining guests at the moment.

When Zhou heard that You was here, Zhou immediately got up and greeted her with a chuckle: “Oh, what brings you sister-in-law here today? What a coincidence, Mrs Mo, they happen to be all here!”

Madam Zhou, a third-rate butler, naturally did not know what was happening in the palace. Several people happened to be still talking about Ye Jiayao, and they were very excited.

You’s face was covered with frost, she glanced coldly at the ladies present, and it was not difficult to tell the meaning of scorn from their fine and hypocritical smile.

What a coincidence, isn’t it? She felt the same way that today she came to break with Zhou. How could Zhou be a rogue before? It was also a family conflict and could be tolerated. However, Zhou’s disregard for marquis house’s reputation was not just a family affair.

She just wanted to break with Zhou in front of everyone. Since Zhou didn’t take marquis house seriously, she won’t want to get marquis house any more benefits from now on.

If you want to do the first grade, don’t blame her for doing the fifteenth grade.

You took a sneer at the corners of her mouth, and slap in her face.

The slap was abrupt, crisp and loud. It immediately stunned Zhou and all the people present and could not respond to the half – ring.

Zhou covered her burning face with shame, anger, injustice, surprise … and finally all turned into an emotion, anger.

She bellowed angrily to Madam You: “Sister – in – law, what kind of crazy are you? Where have I sinned against you? Hit me when we meet. If you don’t make it clear to me today, I’ll hate forever.”

She fought You countless times over the years and had a fierce quarrel, but not to the point of starting physical fight. Today, You slapped her face in front of outsiders. If she didn’t get justice back, she couldn’t live in the future.

You stared at her resentfully and said angrily, “You don’t know why I hit you? You live in marquis house, worship house’s ancestors, and take the benefits of the house, but you failed your ancestors and the house. Who do?I else to beat? Hate me forever, I hate you forever!”

“And you.” You’s eyes, like two swords, shot at several ladies sitting in the hall and said coldly, “You gossips who have nothing to do all day and like to gossip, it’s better to go out and inquire about what’s going on in Jinling City. If I hear what I shouldn’t hear again, I’ll pick you up one by one.”

The ladies of this status, You didn’t think much of them at all. Moreover, most of the people who have close ties with Zhou were from King Yu’s side. She had no scruples at all. Therefore, she said rudely.

Everyone looked at each other, all daring to anger and dare not speak out. Their status was not enough to compete with You, and they knew that they still have some self-knowledge.

Zhou understood a little, and what she said about Ye Jinxuan behind her back was known by You. So what? This kind of thing, could not said not clearly, who can guarantee Ye Jinxuan innocence was still there? What’s more, she still had the support of King Yu’s side concubine behind her. What was she to be afraid of?

Immediately muster up courage to say, “Madam, can you tell some truth? You like a mad dog and bite when you open your mouth. If I have anything to offend you, come to me, nothing to do with others. Is the madam of Jing ‘an marquis house amazing? Can you bully others?”

Zhou said hit the floor, and Mrs. Mo also got the nerve to be a peacemaker: “Yes, Mrs. Xia, the family has something to say, there are misunderstandings, just explain it clearly. Don’t ruin the harmony.”

Several other ladies also joined in.

You huffed angrily, “Shut up all of you and get out of here.”

With these people, You were too lazy to waste her breath.

Looking directly at Zhou, she said, “The words are grandiose. Is it right to rush you? Today I came at you. What did you say and do behind your back? Don’t think I don’t know. Tell you the truth, I’ve just come from the palace and more than a dozen First Class Imperial Orders and Second Class Ladies have been convicted. King Yu’s wife Lin has brought a letter of divorce to go home. Your biggest backer has fallen down. Do you still have the spirit to justify with me now?”

Zhou’s face changed greatly, and the others were also on pins and needles. The imperial mandate of the family was rejected, not to mention them. Everyone was nervous and did not know if You had heard what was said about marquis house’s second wife.

“I don’t understand what you … you said.” Zhou denied guiltily.

You sneered, “You don’t understand? Then I said it more clearly. You were offered up. Do you know what I was feeling when I heard your name from their mouths? After all, you are a family member and you can bear it if you can. But you are more and more unscrupulous and even the queen has spoken. It’s time to purge the house. Zhou, what do you think I should do with you?”

Zhou staggered and took a step back.

The queen’s words terrified her.

She didn’t expect things to get so serious, it was only to speak ill of Ye Jinxuan? Was the crime unforgivable?

You took out a piece of paper from her pocket and lifted it in the air, saying, ” This is the guarantee you wrote before, and if you disrespect your eldest sister-in-law and do anything harmful to the house, you will be expelled, in black and white, with red handprints. Now, do you know how to do it? Give you an hour. If you don’t give me fuck off after an hour, open a ancestral hall and deal with it according to family rules.”

You said that, glancing at Zhou again coldly, she turned and walked with great momentum.

Zhou froze and stood there, and it took half a ring to react. The joke got bigger this time. She knew that with the queen’s words, the master was absolutely afraid to protect her, and You’s attitude was as tough as ever. She was finished and completely finished.

Zhou’s thought of this leaves no room for helplessness.

Several ladies stood up silently and did not dare to say a word to Zhou again. They quickly slipped away, fearing that another moment would set fire to their bodies.

Ye Jiayao and Xia Chunyu stood outside the door, and You’s words were heard. Although You never said what the gossips were chewing, she had a strong feeling that it was related to her.

Looking at Xia Chunyu again, his face was livid and his mouth pursed, obviously he knew something.

When You came out, she saw Ye Jiayao and Chunyu standing outside the door, paused, and thought it would not be possible to hide it. “Go home and talk about it,” she said.
