    Shen Jie frowned calmly when he saw a table of spicy dishes.

    Ye Ying also found it difficult to swallow.

    Only Du Yaoyao was eating happily with a few chopsticks on a plate.

    While eating, he urged, “Eat, eat quickly, this rabbit meat is so spicy and delicious!”

    If it weren’t for the sweat on her forehead and red mouth after eating, Shen Jie and Ye Ying would have suspected that Du Yaoyao was cheating on her.

    The food in Jiangnan is light and spicy food is rarely eaten.Liu’er looked at Shen Jie’s face and reminded Du Yaoyao: “Madam, your Excellency and Miss Ye are from Wuxing…”

    “What’s wrong?” Du Yaoyao took a sip of tea and swallowed a piece of spicy fish fillet.

    “Miss Ye can’t eat spicy food.” Liu’er tactfully mentioned only Ye Ying.

    Du Yaoyaozuo suddenly understood and covered his mouth, “Ah, I forgot.” He apologized to Ye Ying and stood up, “Then I will go to the kitchen now and make some Jiangnan side dishes.”

    Ye Ying nodded, “Sorry, Miss Du.”

    Du Yaoyao took another sip of tea, stuck out her tongue, and smiled, “No trouble, no trouble.”

    Such vulgar actions, when done by her, are playful and cute.There is even a temptation to be naive and unaware of it.

    Ye Ying looked at Shen Jie subconsciously, but Shen Jie’s expression did not change.But she vaguely felt that Du Yaoyao tonight was very simple, but extremely beautiful.

    Beauty is in the bones, not the skin.Du Yaoyao is dressed in plain white, with snow-skinned skin and black hair, a straight tip of her nose dotted with fine sweat, her red mouth slightly open and panting, knowing that she is being fucked, but it can easily be associated with desire.

    Ye Ying looked away from Shen Jie and didn’t notice that his throat moved slightly.

    Ye Ying felt that because she had dressed up carefully, compared to Du Yaoyao, who looked up to the sky, she felt like she was competing with the pearls, but was inferior.

    She consoled herself, Shen Jie was not a person who valued appearance.

    When he was in Wuxing, he passed the college and provincial examinations and became a first-class scholar and a member of the Xie Yuan. Many ladies from the famous families wanted to recruit him as their son-in-law, and even brothel oirans tried to find him, but he was never interested.

    How could he take Du Yaoyao’s vulgar words and deeds seriously?

    Thinking like this, she straightened her back and raised her head, trying to show that she was full of poetry and elegance.

    Shen Jie was like a blind man, recalling Du Yaoyao’s expression and behavior.

    Du Yaoyao could discover his habit of eating sweets, but how could he not know that he doesn’t eat spicy food.Ye Ying came from Jiangnan, and the maid and cook would remind the master of the guests’ tastes. Apparently Du Yaoyao deliberately pretended not to know.

    Instructing the kitchen to cook a few side dishes, does one of the ladies of the house need to go there in person?Looking at Du Yaoyao’s hurried back, sitting next to the quiet and virtuous Ye Ying, Shen Jie understood something in his heart.

    For the first time, Shen Jie felt that he needed to make a serious statement to Du Yaoyao: stop giving him women. He was angry and wanted to “eat” her, so he couldn’t get tired of it for the time being.

    “Brother Jie.” Ye Ying used the title she used when she was young. Shen Jie looked at her coldly and changed her words, “Master Shen.”

    Only then did Shen Jie show his patience in listening to her.

    Ye Ying explained clearly the ins and outs of what happened in Wuxing, and when she got to the emotional point, she burst into tears and became very charming.

    Shen Jie nodded, with a brief “um” or “ok” mixed in, but not a word of comfort.

    The kitchen was serving food, but Du Yaoyao didn’t come for a long time.When Liu’er came in, she couldn’t stand it and secretly gave Ye Ying a white handkerchief to wipe her tears.

    Ye Ying felt chilled by Shen Jie’s indifference. She thought that he was a married man and should avoid suspicion, so she persuaded herself to forgive Shen Jie’s inconsideration at the moment.

    “Sir, my father is gone, Yingying can only rely on you.” Ye Ying held the silk handkerchief in her hand, her eyes dim with tears.

    “Teacher, Shen has been kind to me, and I should repay him.” Shen Jie was polite but distant.

    “Do you just want to repay my father for his kindness?” Ye Ying asked back, staring at he’s cold eyes, and said word by word: “A Ying and your Excellency have also had a friendship since they were childhood sweethearts.”

    Long before Shen Jie came to Beijing to take the exam, Ye Ying had expressed her feelings to him, but Shen Jie refused, saying “I don’t talk about the love between my children without fame.”

    Now, Ye Ying is alone and homeless.But Shen Jie didn’t want to be the fate of the down-and-out childhood sweetheart, so he distanced himself from the relationship and said, “I only regard Miss Ye as my sister.”

    “But I don’t just regard Mr. Shen as my brother.” Ye Ying looked at Shen Jie longingly and said unwillingly: “You can even accept a woman like Du Yaoyao, how come you can’t tolerate A Ying by your side?”

    “Du Yaoyao, what kind of woman?” Shen Jie raised his eyebrows and answered the question inappropriately.

    Based on Du Yaoyao’s words in the afternoon, Ye Ying concluded:

    “Without knowledge and ignorance, you can’t even speak idioms that make your sleeves more fragrant!”

    “Relying on beauty, not thinking about progress, thinking about giving birth to a son for a man to gain a foothold!”

    “If you don’t touch her, you won’t give her the keys to the warehouse, and you won’t care if she finds another man!”

    “Sir, Aying knows that you have difficulties, and I am willing to accompany you and wait until you…”

    “A great cause has been accomplished, and the position is extremely popular.” Ye Ying could not say this directly.

    Today, the prince is fighting for power with King Chen. As a staunch princeling, Shen Jie’s wife’s aunt, Yongning Houfu, is a supporter of King Chen.There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. If King Chen is defeated and Du Yaoyao is abandoned, it will only be a matter of time.

    What’s more, Du Yaoyao is still a good-looking idiot, and she doesn’t get Shen Jie’s attention.

    Ye Ying is somewhat confident in her heart. Since ancient times, when men are in power and women, the choice has always been realistic and focused more on interests.

    “Du… Yaoyao told you this?” Shen Jie paused and asked slightly surprised.

    Ye Ying nodded hesitantly.

    “That’s it.” Shen Jie suddenly realized.No wonder Ye Ying came back from the ashes and recommended herself. It turned out that Du Yaoyao was inside adding fuel to the flames early in the morning.

    Looking at Ye Ying’s outfit again, compared to Du Yaoyao’s clear soup, she really put a lot of effort into sending Ye Ying to her side.

    “After several years of marriage, Miss Du doesn’t even know if you don’t eat spicy food. This shows whether she cares about you.”

    Ye Ying glanced at the red dishes on the table with the corner of her eyes, hoping that Shen Jie would not be fooled by Du’s graceful beauty.

    But Shen Jie was so seductive that he corrected her: “Yaoyao is not Miss Du, she is the real Mrs. Shen.”

    The four words “worthy of the name” are particularly strong.
