The food was served in the kitchen, but Du Yaoyao didn't come for a long time. When Liu'er came in, he couldn't bear to see it, so he secretly handed Ye Ying a white handkerchief and asked her to wipe her tears.
Ye Ying felt chilled by Chen Jie's indifference. Thinking that he was a married man and should avoid suspicion, she persuaded herself to forgive Chen Jie's inconsideration at the moment.
"Sir, my father is gone. Yingying can only rely on you." Ye Ying held a silk handkerchief in her hand, her eyes blurred with tears.
"Teacher, you have been very kind to me, and I, Shen, shall repay you." Shen Jie was polite but distant.
"Do you just want to repay my father for his kindness?" Ye Ying asked, staring at his cold and handsome features, and said word by word: "Aying and you, sir, have been childhood sweethearts since we were young."
Long before Shen Jie went to Beijing to take the imperial examination, Ye Ying had expressed her feelings to him, but Shen Jie refused, saying "there is no point in talking about love without fame".
Now, Ye Ying is alone and homeless. But Chen Jie didn't want to become the down-and-out childhood sweetheart, so he distanced himself from her, "I only treat Miss Ye as my sister."
"But I don't just regard Lord Shen as my brother." Ye Ying looked at Chen Jie infatuatedly, and said unwillingly: "You can even accept a woman like Du Yaoyao, how can you not have room for A Ying by your side?"
"Du Yaoyao, what kind of woman?" Chen Jie raised his eyebrows and answered a question that was not asked.
Based on what Du Yaoyao said that afternoon, Ye Ying concluded:
"He is totally uneducated, ignorant, and can't even utter the idiom of adding fragrance to one's sleeves!"
"She relies on her beauty, doesn't make progress, and only thinks about giving birth to sons for men to gain a foothold!"
"You don't touch her, you don't give her the key to the storeroom, and you don't care if she finds another man!"
"Sir, Aying knows you have your own difficulties. I am willing to wait with you until you ..."
"Great cause accomplished, highest position among officials" - Ye Ying was unable to say this directly.
The current Crown Prince and Prince Chen are fighting for power. Chen Jie is a staunch supporter of the Crown Prince, while his wife's aunt, the Marquis of Yongning, is a supporter of Prince Chen. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. If Prince Chen is defeated, it is only a matter of time before Du Yaoyao is divorced and abandoned.
What's more, Du Yaoyao is just a pretty fool and she doesn't win Shen Jie's heart.
Ye Ying is quite confident in her heart. Since ancient times, when faced with the choice between power and women, men have always been realistic and paid more attention to interests.
"Du...Yaoyao told you this?" Chen Jie paused and asked in surprise.
Ye Ying nodded hesitantly.
"So that's how it is." Shen Jie suddenly understood. No wonder Ye Ying came back to life and recommended herself, it turned out that Du Yaoyao had been fanning the flames from the beginning.
Looking at Ye Ying's outfit again, compared with Du Yaoyao's plain appearance just now, she really put a lot of thought into getting Ye Ying to her side.
"After being married for several years, Miss Du didn't even know that you don't eat spicy food. It shows that she doesn't care about you."
Ye Ying glanced at the bright red dishes on the table, hoping meaningfully that Chen Jie would not be bewitched by Du Yaoyao's beauty.
But Chen Jie was so lustful that he lost his mind and corrected her: "Yaoyao is not Miss Du, she is the real Madam Shen."
The four words "worthy of the name" are emphasized with particular emphasis.
