Chapter 85: Taking Advantage Of The Situation

Translator: YTJS_  Editor: Perriemix

Ye Jiayao was secretly astounded. Chunyu actually went to the Wei family? When did he go? What did he go there for? To seek confirmation of her identity? It looked like he really didn’t trust her, after all.

Xia Chunyu did not want to mention that imposter First Young Mistress in the Wei family for the time being, but he also did not want to let Wei Liujiang off so easily. He said arrogantly, “There is no need for you to suck up to me. If I wasn’t here today, how would you have dealt with my brother?”

Mu Qinchu trembled with fear, laughing apologetically. “Heir-Son Lord, all the fault lies with me. I drank too much and got intoxicated, so I was a little louder. Heir-Son Lord, why don’t I arrange a feast especially to apologize to this young brother?”

Xia Chunyu turned to look at Yaoyao.

Ye Jiayao mimicked Xia Chunyu’s tone, and said smugly, “There would be no need for the feast. If Young Master Mu is sincere in his apology, then get me 1000 catty of government ice share allocation!”

She knew that this detestable fellow was the son of Assistant Minister Mu of the Ministry of Works. The government ice cellar was under the charge of the Ministry of Works so getting a thousand catty share allocation should not be difficult for him. She was going to take advantage of this situation as much as she could.

Mu Qinchu took a deep breath, his expression sour. It was not that he didn’t want to do it, but getting that much of ice allocation was a little difficult. The supply for the allocation of the ice in the government cellar does not meet the demand every year. Even the highest ranking official would not get more than 600 catty of share allocation for one summer. This young brother was asking for a thousand! Arranging a feast to apologize would be much simpler.

“A thousand catty? Are you sure you want so much?” Mu Qinchu asked.

Ye Jiayao nodded seriously. “Yes, 1000 catty. It actually might not be enough.”

Xia Chunyu knew Yaoyao was making iced drinks, but, 1000 catty was a shocking number. However, since Yaoyao requested for it, he would make sure that Mu Qinchu agrees to it.

“Don’t tell me you cannot accede to this little request by my brother?” Xia Chunyu looked at Mu Qinchu, his gaze full of threat.

Mu Qinchu braced himself and forced out a smile. “I… I will do my best.”

Xia Chunyu continued, “Since you are rightfully apologetic, we shall pretend that this unpleasant event did not happen. Send the share allocation to my residence in three days’ time. Li Yao, let’s go.”

He wanted Mu Qinchu to know that he would be keeping an eye on the matter, and if he failed to deliver, there would be hostile consequences.

Ye Jiayao broke out into a smile. She trailed behind Xia Chunyu, the both of them proceeding downstairs.

Wei Liujiang looked down from above and waited until both of them exited the restaurant before asking Mu Qinchu, “Cousin, who is that chap? Why is Xia Chunyu so protective of him?”

Mu Qinchu felt that the little fellow seemed familiar, but he could not remember where he saw him. He was certain, though, that this Li Yao was definitely not any nobleman from a respectable family. In the social circle of Jin Ling’s noblemen, there was no one that he didn’t know.

“This Li Yao, could he be the one who got famous recently from selling chilled drinks?” Mu Qinchu’s attendant suggested hesitantly.

Mu Qinchu slapped a hand on his forehead. “I remember now! It’s that fellow, the head chef of Heavenly Residence!”
