Chapter 362 No One Can Escape
After Li Jiaojiao and her group left, the onlookers dispersed, talking and laughing.
The maid in green looked at Ye Caiping:
"Ye Yiren, right? My wife saw everything that happened just now. Ye Yiren is a person of strong character and noble integrity. My wife would like to invite Ye Yiren to come upstairs for a gathering."
Ye Caiping said politely, "Thank you for the invitation, Madam, but we have urgent matters to attend to, so we won't go."
The maid in green clothes did not force it: "Okay."
Ye Caiping nodded, then left with Jin'er and the others.
After leaving the teahouse, Jinhua whispered, "Didn't they say there were no seats upstairs?"
Ye Caiping said: "That's because we are not yet qualified enough."
Ye Jin'er asked, "I wonder who that lady is?"
"Haha, I don't know."
Ye Caiping said this, raising her eyebrows slightly.
Madam... Madam Lin, the one with the surname Lin, still makes the Duke's wife so afraid...
Isn’t it such a coincidence?
Shen Zhiyan’s ex-wife – Lin Yaxian?
According to Shen Manman, Lin Yaxian's father was the chief minister of the current dynasty and one of the three regent ministers.
She didn't need Mrs. Lin's maid to come out to help her just now.
If she doesn't come, Ye Caiping can talk to Li Jiaojiao about going to jail and see if they will still let her kneel.
Jiuqin Tea House——
After Ye Caiping and others left, the maid in blue went upstairs.
On the second floor, in a private room separated by a screen, a pretty woman in white was leaning on a rosewood couch with cloud patterns, looking indifferently at the bustling lobby downstairs.
The maid Shangxue stepped forward and said, "Madam, Lady Ye said she had something urgent to do and left."
Lin Yaxian responded lightly: "Just leave, it's no big deal."
Given her status and position, she would naturally not pay attention to such a small imperial edict of the seventh or eighth rank.
This happened right in front of her, and she felt that Ye Yiren's way of doing things was quite to her liking, so she wanted to invite her up to kill some time.
Shang Xuedao shook his head and chuckled: "This Ye Yiren has no idea what she has missed."
Lin Yaxian didn't respond.
Shangxue sat aside and used a small pole to move the silver charcoal in the charcoal basin: "I heard that... the second master and the young lady are back. The streets were closed the night before yesterday."
Lin Yaxian's heart trembled slightly, but her face was calm: "It's time to come back."
Around this time every year, the father and daughter would come back.
It is to celebrate the old lady’s birthday and also to celebrate the New Year.
Around February next year, they will leave again, like migratory birds.
Lin Yaxian covered her chest tightly with her hands and closed her eyes. Her originally pale face became even paler.
After a long pause, she finally opened her eyes: "Go back! I'll have someone take out a portion of laurel milk jelly and send it to the Shen family."
"yes."
Laurel milk jelly is Manman’s favorite dessert.
The reason she came here today was just to see Manman, but she ended up returning disappointed.
......
Duke Ping's Mansion——
The Duke's wife sat on the couch angrily and slammed the table with her hand: "What a shrew! It is true that poor mountains and bad waters produce shrewd people!"
Li Jiaojiao stood at the bottom with a pale face, twisting her handkerchief tightly: "Mother...it's all Jiaojiao's fault."
Then she knelt down with a plop and said, "Mother, please punish your daughter."
"Hey, what does it have to do with you?" The Duke's wife quickly stretched out her hand.
Nanny Yu, who was standing by, rolled her eyes secretly and stepped forward to help Li Jiaojiao up.
"Mom..." Li Jiaojiao's eyes turned red, "Mom, you are so good to me."
"Come to think of it, how did you get into a quarrel with her? Do you know her?" The Duke's wife took the tea handed to her by the maid.
Li Jiaojiao's face was slightly stiff. She had already found an excuse during the journey: "I don't know him... We just had an argument over a table."
"Humph, that shrew, I don't know how she got to Beijing."
Li Jiaojiao felt a little nervous after hearing this, fearing that the Duke's wife would ask for an investigation.
I was afraid that they would find out that they knew each other and then find out her background.
There's nothing wrong with my background, but I can't wear the fact that I've been in prison.
Li Jiaojiao said anxiously, "Let's ignore her. It was just a momentary quarrel... Um, mother said that our family has a farm in the capital with beautiful scenery. Can mother accompany me to play there?"
The Duke's wife laughed and said, "You naughty boy, aren't you learning etiquette and rules? There are only a few days left before the birthday banquet at the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion, and you are still playing."
"I can learn in Zhuangzi too!" Li Jiaojiao said as she walked over and took her arm affectionately: "Zhuangzi has such beautiful scenery. We can learn while enjoying the scenery. Maybe we can make a lot of progress. Mother, let's go!"
"Okay, okay, let's go."
"It's still early, why don't we go now?"
"Look how anxious you are...anything is fine."
As he said this, he pinched Li Jiaojiao's nose and had long forgotten about Ye Caiping's matter.
To her, Ye Caiping was just a second-rate clown.
Li Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief.
After comforting the Duke's wife, Li Jiaojiao took Xiaolu back to pack her luggage.
When she thought of Ye Caiping, she felt so angry that her teeth were itching.
She was afraid that Ye Caiping would come to her house and expose her prison experience, so she sent the Duke's wife away.
We can’t let my mother’s people have any contact with Ye Caiping again.
Li Jiaojiao closed the door and said, "Xiaolu, find a way to get that Ye Caiping out of the capital."
Xiao Lu's face was frozen: "Miss, what are you talking about? If so, why not let the Duke's wife do it?"
Li Jiaojiao’s face was stiff: “We can’t let Mother know. Anyway… you go and do it.”
Xiaolu's face twisted: "If you ask Madam to do it, it's just a word. Miss...how can this servant do it?"
Xiaolu was about to curse.
You are an adopted daughter who has no background at all. You have been a lady for less than half a month and have no connections at all. Who are you chasing away?
The capital city is not run by the Duke’s Mansion.
Xiaolu frowned: "Does Ye Yiren have a grudge against the young lady?"
"You don't need to know this kind of thing!"
Xiaolu pursed her lips: "Miss, don't worry. Miss said at the tea house that she is a businessman, and she is only a seventh-rank concubine. People like this understand the interests best. They will not take the initiative to provoke the upper class."
"Besides, the Madam has been protecting the Young Lady just now. She should know the stakes. It will not benefit her at all to cause trouble for the Young Lady. Why should she risk the destruction of her family and offend the Madam just to vent her anger?"
Li Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment, then she understood. Yes, Ye loved money like her life, and would not do anything without benefits, so she would be afraid of the Duke's Mansion.
Xiaolu continued, "Besides, not everyone can enter the Duke's Mansion. Many lower-level officials have visited but couldn't even see the steward."
Li Jiaojiao felt relieved: "I don't know why Ye came to the capital!"
Xiaolu: "Maybe they are visiting relatives, or just coming to have fun. They will go back during the Chinese New Year."
Li Jiaojiao's eyes lit up. That's right, there will always be a day when I have to leave!
All of Ye’s workshops are in the village, so it’s impossible for him not to go back.
Just go out less.
Speaking of the village, Li Jiaojiao thought of Zhang Shuiniang.
She bit her lip, went to the desk and wrote a letter, then handed it to Xiaolu: "Go to Dongshan Dental Clinic and ask them to do something for you."
She has to rescue her mother first, and wait until she gets engaged to the prince of Marquis Dingguo and has a foothold in the capital. She swears to make Li Zhiyuan and Mrs. Li pay the price!
And there is Ye Caiping and her group, none of them can escape!
In Li Jiaojiao's opinion, this is not a bad thing, it can only be regarded as revenge!
