Adorable Food Goddess-Chapter 264 - Weird note

“Heir-son lord, do you want me to watch that guy.” Song Qi rolled up his sleeves. Damn kid, made him run around half of Jinling City. He still didn’t have food, if he found that guy, he must punish him.

Xia Chunyu lifted his hand and said deeply: “You go and watch Lu Xiaotian. If anything happens, report to me immediately.”

Ye Jiayao had no idea of this interlude and she thought what Chunyu talked about was troublesome. So she felt heavy in her heart these days.

That night, after dinner, Chunyu went to the outer study again. Ye Jiayao didn’t talk to You as she had to write essay and came back to the room early.

Who knew that after a while, someone from You invited her: “Third madam is there and they need one more person to play cards with.”

Ye Jiayao couldn’t push and she heard that You really liked card game, especially after she knew double and she invited friends to play. After Lord came back, she barely played it.

Umm. It was rare. Ye Jiayao closed the book and went to guest room.

Liu Li and Qiao Mingxiu were there too. After Qiao Mingxiu gave a set of new clothes to Liu Li, Liu Li visited her a couple of times. You saw Liu Li didn’t mind, so she let go of Qiao Mingxiu.

“Don’t you have enough people? Big sister. You guys play, I will watch.” Ye Jiayao said.

Qiao Mingxiu said hurriedly: “I am bad at cards. Also I am leaving soon so you play.”

You smiled: “Jinxuan, you join.”

You liked Ye Jiaoyao’s style of playing cards as she wouldn’t react much no matter she won or lost. She also played fast and never wasted time.

“Second sister, I want to learn a few tricks from you!” Liu Li smiled.

Zhou said neutrally: “I always lost to you every time. I won most of times elsewhere. I can’t believe this luck of yours.”

Ye Jiayao smiled. Whatever she said. 4 people picked their seat and started to play cards.

Everyone started to chat at the same time.

Zhou said: “Next month, Deng’s family will send the invite for a good day. You guys must come!”

Liu Li was surprised: “Third aunt decided to let Yulian marry there?”

Zhou sneered: “How would Yulian marry that kind of person. It is Jinlian. I rejected Deng’s family last time. I only said that Yulian was a bit too young at that time. And I wanted to keep her longer. I recommended a more suitable daughter with good look to them. They didn’t respond and I thought it would just pass by. Who knows that a few days ago, Deng’s family asked for Jinlian. Then without a doubt, it was Jinlian’s luck to marry that kind of family.”

You said calmly: “Jinlian really had a good fortune.”

Ye Jiayao thought that she looked down on other family because they wanted to marry her own daughter. When they changed to Jinlian, the stepdaughter, it became her fortune. Zhou was truly biased in a way that everybody can see.

“Third aunt, you should ask Cui’s family, maybe Yinlian’s marriage can be set.” Qiao said.

Zhou laughed: “You don’t say, I really have that thought. My stepdaughter could marry well, so Yulian’s value must increase a lot.”

You wanted to tell her that Cui’s son had engaged and would marry a rich and powerful family’s daughter.

But she didn’t say it and just let Zhou trouble herself. As he had a mole on his face and she missed out a good marriage for her daughter. Just let her regret by herself.

Ye Jiayao half listened and her head was filled of calculation of the cards. Just her instinctive. You kept playing Dots and Numbers and she didn’t play any stripes. So she just played a 3 stripes.

You’s face was happy and hurriedly wanted to take it, but Zhou stopped her: “Wait, I will get that.”

You was speechless, she needed that 3 stripes, if she got it, she would have won the game.

Ye Jiayao couldn’t do much, as she gave the right card for her but Zhou took it half way.

She took another card and it was another 3 stripes. And Ye Jiayao played it without hesitance.

You was happy: “Luck is here and I cannot stop it. The fourth 3 stripes came out already.

Zhou was not happy and had a glimpse of Ye Jiayao. She said unpleasantly: “Second-daughter-in-law, you are cheating. You knew that she wanted three stripes, you still play.”

Ye Jiayao didn’t care: “It would be useless for me to keep it. If third aunt didn’t take it, I would not take another card. I want to win as well, I will play the useless cards for sure.”

Ye Jiayao had good reasoning as the second three stripes was taken by her later on. Zhou had to say: “Let’s keep going.”

This set of cards, You really got a big win with Ye Jiayao’s support. She was in a very good mood as she won the first game.

After 3 games, Liu Li lost the most and You won the most. Ye Jiayao didn’t win nor lose.

Qiao couldn’t take it and went back. Liu Li lasted one more round and lost again and said sadly: “No more. Not fun.”

You was the big winner. Losers didn’t want to play and winner could not keep them and just left the game too.

Ye Jiayao tried not to stretch and sent Zhou out with a smiley face. It was strange that it was more tiring for her to play cards than she cooked 10 tables of food. Her limbs were stiff.

She went to back to the room and saw Chunyu sat on the couch and she walked towards him and smiled: “When did you come back? I was playing cards with mother and third aunt. Mother won a lot tonight…”

Eh? Chunyu had no reaction.

Ye Jiayao put her hands on his shoulder and got closer and smiled: “What are you thinking? So serious?”

The next moment, she was stunned too. Her head was blank as she saw the note in the book. “You are one in a million, my honor to meet you…. Lu”

After the shock, Ye Jiayao became uneasy.

Fuck, when did this note come out from her book? And it was such a suspicious sentence. It was lu as well.

Lu must be Lu Xiaotian.

What is going on?

Xia Chunyu lifted his head slowly and his eyes were cold and deep, they seemed to be the rock on the bottom of sea as well as the iceberg in northern pole.

Ye Jiayao’s heart felt heavy as well and she explained immediately: “Chunyu, I have no idea about this. I have never seen this before.”

Xia Chunyu looked at her speechless. His eyes filled with coldness and anger.

Ye Jiayao started to be panic. At that point of time, even if she didn’t do anything, it would not even work out. As Chunyu was a very jealous guy. When he saw the note, what would he think? There was no way to explain this.

She was afraid that he would take it seriously and would have this problem in his heart, like a crack in a mirror and one day it would break.

Ye Jiayao knew there was no way to explain and she called Peach loudly: “Peach come in.”

Peach answered and came in: “Second young lady, what is your request?”

Ye Jiayao asked with a dark face: “anyone came in the room when I left?” 𝙛𝑟𝑒e𝘸𝑒𝗯𝘯𝗼𝘃el.𝒄𝒐m

Peach saw heir-son lord and second young lady’s faces bad. She was upset. Did they lose something?

“No… no, I was always outside and didn’t see anyone come in.”

“Are you sure?”

Peach wanted to say that she went to bathroom once but it was a real short time, also people in this court were generally nice. No one would do anything bad? She said: “I didn’t see anyone?”

Ye Jiayao was stunned and came back to life. Her first reaction was someone set this up. But Peach’s words pushed her idea away. Her notes were taken by a few people to read. Lu Xiaotian also read it, he might put it in at that time?

She could recognize Lu Xiaotian’s handwriting, it was from his hand.

But, why, why would he write such weird note?

One in a million while they met? She and he only worked together and they never even talked much about personal life.

If he really liked her, he would not write such obvious words. OMG, she was going to be mad.

Xia Chunyu still kept looking at her and he smiled coldly with anger.

He hoped that she could find a good reason to persuade him. A reasonable explanation. But she was panic and tried to push the responsibility to the servant.

So, who would send the message for Lu Xiaotian in this court?

Ye Jiayao really didn’t know how to explain but she couldn’t say nothing.

“Chunyu, I have no idea where this note comes from. Whatever you believe in. I just have nothing to do with it. I will ask Lu Xiaotian tomorrow. If he really write this note. I will not get involved in any merchant meeting and training classes. I will stop talking with him.” Ye Jiayao got mad as well and such a dogshit thing to deal with.

Xia Chunyu tookj off and the bamboo curtain was noisy.

Peach was shocked and still didn’t know what happened.

Ye Jiayao waved her hands and let Peach out. She sat on the crouch unhappily. No. No panic. This note was too weird. She must think carefully, what happened?

This night, Xia Chunyu didn’t come back to room. Qiaoxi checked out the situation and came back. Heir-son lord slept in the outer study room.

Ye Jiayao was speechless. Ever since they married, they had fights before. But every time, he apologized to her actively. He always said,?fights between husbands and wife would get better after they sleep together. It was his first time not sleeping in the room after a fight.

Qiaoxi knew Heir-son lord and second young lady had a fight. She asked Peach what happened. Peach didn’t know. She wanted to help them, but she didn’t know what to say.

“Second young lady, or I will go ask him back? f𝒓𝗲𝗲𝒘𝑒𝚋ｎoѵ𝒆𝗹.co𝗺

Ye Jiayao said in a low voice: “No point.”

It would be better if she asked Lu Xiaotian tomorrow.
