Adorable Food Goddess Chapter 344 – Dismissal  

This day she didn't need to go to Ninghe Temple. The Emperor and Queen's breakfast was not her duty, so Ye Jiayao didn't wake up until the end of Maoshi.

Just about to get up, Qiao Xi came in.

” I just guessed the second Lady wants to get up at this point. It is still early, so you can sleep again!” Qiao Xi urged.

The Second Lady had just slept for less than two hours, which was not enough!

Ye Jiayao couldn't get up. It was so cold that she really wanted to hide in bed all day and sighed, ” No, there are still many things to do.”

Qiao Xi tucked a warmer in her bed and said, “The third young master had already sent someone to give good news to the third lord's house and Helian Mansion… The handmaiden had been to Dr Jiang's and said that llittle young master was fine and had eaten milk and was sleeping soundly … the First Lady has also had breakfast, and Mother Fang said that her spirit is good … The elder master Qiao is still asleep and hasn't got up. The Second Lady, can you sleep a little longer now? Even if you can't sleep, it's good to lie down and raise your strength.”

Ye Jiayao couldn't help but sit up and took notice of Qiao Xi. Qiao Xi was safe and faithful, which was beyond doubt, but for a long time, she had always felt that there was something lacking and what were the shortcomings? Could not say for sure, she understood that what Qiao Xi lacked was initiative, what she commanded her to do, and after her praise yesterday, Qiao Xi seemed to suddenly begin to understand. She would ponder her mind and knew what she cared about.

Ye Jiayao looked at her smilingly: ” Qiao Xi, you understand my thoughts more and more. You are a little in charger's head. So capable, I can't bear to marry you out. What should I do?”

Qiao Xi blushed and shyly said, ” The Second Lady you are teasing the handmaiden in the such early morning! Who said I want to get married?”

She didn't even think about this problem, nor there was not married servant in the house, like The Mother Fang around The First Lady didn't married anyone.

Qiao Xi was defeated and fled. Ye Jiayao was in a good mood. He lay down and held the old woman in her arms for a while. It didn't take long. Some things still had to be handled by herself, others couldn't replace her.

After getting up and eating breakfast, Ye Jiayao went to Qiao first.

Qiao was nursing the baby because it was a second child and the milk wad coming out quickly.

The child was too young to have much strength and fell asleep after a few bites.

When Qiao saw Ye Jiayao coming to see her, she handed the child over to the nurse and carried it back to Dr. Jiang's.

Servants all withdrew and left two masters to speak.

” Eldest sister – in – law, you looks good!”

Qiao said, ” After a night's sleep, I finally recovered.”

Ye Jiayao thought, I was afraid it was because she was in a comfortable mood. She said curiously, ” You had made peace with eldest brother?”

Qiao made a sound of bah and said, ” Who had made peace with him and it is not so easy for me to forgive him. I get to understand, I was just too easy to talk and I followed him in everything. He did'nt take me seriously and was reckless. This time, if he doesn't teach himself to be honest, he doesn't know how to put me in his heart.”

Qiao now gave birth to a son, had eldest brother beside and was at the rational position, so she was confident again.

Ye Jiayao raised her hands in favor of it. Women would have to be cruel to men who were mean and did not clean up.

” Sister – in – law, I support you without any words.”

Qiao said with a smile, ” It's all thanks to you.”

” I would have died eight hundred times if there was not you.”

In her most difficult time, It was the second younger siblings gave her strong backing without hesitation. She wouldn't forget this kindness. Maybe she had many shortcomings and her heart was high and her skill was low, but she still knew what was right, who was sincere to her, who was hypocritical to her, or could see it.

” By the way, sibling, Where is the bitch Cuiyan?” Qiao asked.

Ye Jiayao said, ” I'm afraid she's not safe in the house. I got her out of here first. You don't have to worry about it. I'll deal with the matter of external government office later. I heard there are still several servants out there who will be dismissed early.”

Qiao was deeply impressed, but she felt a little guilty, ” It's just that she has to trouble second sister – in – law.”

Ye Jiayao smiled. She did her best, not all for Qiao's sake, but more from Marquis House's point of view. If she didn't handle it properly, it was a ticking time bomb and she didn't know when it would explode.

After asking for the address, Ye Jiayao took Qiao Xi and Manger Zhao to the outer residence.

Outside the house there were four maids, two women. There was an old gatekeeper, and the woman in charge surnamed Dong, and the servant girl of Cuiyan called Xiaohong. All these were what the eldest brother said. In order to get rid of the trouble here, the eldest brother did not dare to hide anything and told Ye Jiayao everything.

Manager Zhao knocked at the door. The old gatekeeper opened the door, he looked suspiciously at Manager Zhao and then at Ye Jiayao, cautiously asking, ” You are …”

Manager Zhao smilingly said, ” This is the Lady in charge of Marquis House. Come here and have a look.”

When the gatekeeper heard that she was the First Lady of the wealthy family, he did not dare to neglect her, so he invited people in and told Mother Dong.

Ye Jiayao looked at the three-in yard, tidied up and entered the living room, looking at a set of furniture made of Hainan yellow flower pear wood.

Ye Jiayao couldn't help laughing. It seemed that the eldest brother's family was still very rich, but now it was all owned by Qiao's family. The eldest brother had already handed over the deeds of the house to show sincerity.

Mother Dong quickly came to meet them.

In the face of Marquis House's lady, Mother Dong was uneasy. She didn't know what the purpose of her coming here was. Ms Cui went to Marquis House yesterday and didn't come back. Xiaohong went to inquire. She was rudely driven away by the people over there, saying that the first lady was going to giving birth, everyone was busy and had no time to care her.

Now everyone was in a panic and didn't know what to do.

With a smile on her face, Ye Jiayao took a sip of tea slowly and put down the tea lamp and said, ” The best tea of Mountain Mao cloud is good, great.”

Mother Dong smiled apologetically, ” I don't know is there anything I can do for the lady?”

Ye Jiayao said slightly, ” The eldest young master said that you are the Manager Mother here, just look for you.”

Mother Dong made an ear – catching appearance.

Ye Jiayao said gently: ” It's nothing like the eldest young master buying a house outside. Men, who don't like to hide beauties in a golden house, it just depends on whether they have the ability to hide it. But the problem is that we have strict rules in our Marquis House and strict family education, and the duke can't tolerate it, so this house will be took away.”

Ye Jiayao deliberately described such a thing as a common thing, but Marquis House did not allow it, avoiding these people from threatening their lives and thinking they had taken hold of Marquis House's handle.

Mother Dong's face changed, took away this house? What about Miss Cui? And what about them servants?

Ye Jiayao saw through Mother Dong's thoughts and added, ” I didn't know about Miss Cui before. Now that I know it, Marquis House can't ignore it, but I still have to wait for Mrs Jing'an duke to come back. Now Cuiyan's staying in the house, and she won't come back. As for you …”

Ye Jiayao glanced lightly, and Mother Dong clenched her fist nervously.

” When I came, I also asked the manager of the inner and outer courts and they are not short of manpower, so I'm going to give you back your deed and give you another severance payment. No matter how you are also the people who served the eldest young master, We marquis house are the most benevolent in our work and won't hurt you, so what does Mother Dong think?”

Mother Dong could be in charge here, and naturally she had some eyesight. The Lady had a tight tongue and a reasonable mind, which made it difficult for anyone to oppose her.

It was good to be able to enter Marquis House, but that kind of high gate compound had deep water. It was not enough for her to look into it. She could get back the deed of sale, and be a free person, and had a severance payment. It was still a good deal thinking about that. In fact, the lady could otherwise everyone to seller for resale and got a sum of money.

” My Lady, all of us here are not locals, as far away as Henan, and most closed one is from Zhenjiang, and I am from Xiangshan. If there is no need for me here, I will go back to hometown, I wonder if the severance payment is enough for me to back home,” Mother Dong said.

Ye Jiayao smiled, when she came, she already knew the origin of these people. It seemed that the eldest brother deliberately chose servants from other places to avoid leaking information. It was much easier to solve now, as long as these people took severance payment and leave, everything would be all right.

” Mother Dong, since I said that I would not let you suffer, I will definitely do it. You are the one in charge of the house, fifty-two taels for you, and the rest, thirty taels. Of course, for outside, you are still the same number as the others, this, you know?”

Mother Dong was delighted that her monthly salary was only one or two taels of silver. Ms Cui was stingy and did not reward her easily. The temple was small and oil is also less. Fifty taels, how many years would it take to save it? Moreover, she had twenty taels more than others. She had more than enough travelling expenses to go back to Xiangshan, plus her savings over the years, she could live a comfortable life when she was back.

” I understand …” Mother Dong answered quickly.

Ye Jiayao frowned on purpose: ” But … do you think other people will have opinions?”

Mother Dong assured her: ” Please believe me, lady, I still has some skill.”

Ye Jiayao smiled, ” Then it's up to you to do it. Manager Zhao will be waiting here and within half an hour, I hope everyone will pack up and leave, and there will be a carriage to take you out of the city or to the dock. He is also very busy. If you are well placed, the house will be repossessed and you will return to life. If you can do it well in advance, I will tell Manager Zhao to give you another 10 taels of silver.”

When Mother Dong heard that she could get an extra 10 taels, she dared not to work not hard: ” I will immediately do it.”

Ye Jiayao was ready to go into the palace and walked into the courtyard. A maid came running with a jar of wine: ” Lady…”

Ye Jiayao stopped: ” What's the matter?”

The maid said, “lady, the handmaiden Xiaohong, served Ms Cui. When Ms Cui entered the house, the handmaiden was also happy for her. This is her favorite plum wine, and there is only one place left. Could lady bring it to Ms Cui?”

Ye Jiayao raised his eyebrows, but this time it was better not care too much. she smiled: ” Well, I didn't know Mis Cui drink.”

Xiaohong said, ” Ms Cui doesn't drink much, but she drinks a small cup every day, saying it's good for beauty.”

” Drink every day?” Asked Ye Jiayao with some thoughts in her mind.

” Yes, she drink it every day.” Xiaohong nodded.
