Second Sister? Ye Jiayao was surprised. How was she able to join this kind of social circle?
Ye Jinrong saw the chef squint at her and her heart stuttered a bit.
Fortunately, Ye Jiayao recovered from her shock immediately and was able to look away as if she just had a quick and casual glance.
“Little Brother Li, if we invite you to work in the royal mansion, would you accept the offer?”
Ye Jiayao was stunned. She never expected for the Old Ancestress to ask this question.
Helian Jing beamed and turned to Yaoyao expectantly, waiting for her to say yes.
Working in the royal mansion would mean that she would have a strong support system to rely on. Even Princess Liu Li would hardly be able to lay a finger on her. Not to mention the connection that she could build! She could gain hundreds of benefits from working in the royal mansion.
But what about Heavenly Residence? What about the promises she made to Shopkeeper Li? Also, what about the brothers? They placed their hope and loyalty in her. If she left, she’d be abandoning them in the lurch.
Furthermore, if she worked in the royal mansion, it wouldn’t be as convenient to see Dumb Donkey anymore.
“Old Ancestress, thank you so much for the honor. I really want to work for the royal mansion, but I have a contract with Heavenly Residence and they can’t survive without me. If Old Ancestress would like to eat anything, I would happily make it for you anytime. We can use warm bottles or ice cubes to keep the freshness of the food,” Ye Jiayao said with a smile.
Once again, the Old Ancestress was surprised by this chef. She had thought that Li Yao would readily accept the offer. However, he rejected it in a very humble way that Old Ancestress couldn’t help but admire him even more. He put fame and money behind righteousness and that wasn’t something she sees every day, especially from commoners.
Helian Jing, on the other hand, was extremely disappointed with Yaoyao’s answer.
Old Ancestress lifted her head and laughed in delight. “I will hold you to your promise. Just don’t complain if I get too troublesome!”
“Old Ancestress, it is my honor that you like my dishes. You would never be troublesome,” Ye Jiayao said pleasingly.
“Alright, Yu De. How do we reward him considering how much effort he put in?” Old Ancestress asked her daughter-in-law. However, before Yu De could answer, Old Ancestress declared to herself, “Silvers are too common. Or… yes, that’d do. Cui Yan, take the Wish Jade from my room.”
Yu De and Helian Jing were both shocked. Would Old Ancestress really reward Li Yao the Wish Jade?
Ye Jiayao was surprised as well. The Wish Jade sounded expensive. And it was inside Old Ancestress’ room! She couldn’t take that!
“Old Ancestress, your recognition is already the best reward. I have gotten enough rewards today, I can’t take more,” Ye Jiayao said to her.
Yu De said nicely, “Li Yao, the reward from elders cannot be refused. Today, it’s the reward from the god of longevity and it brings good fortune.”
Ye Jiayao bowed, not daring to decline the reward again lest she offended them.
Others might not know the gravity of that gift, but Xia You understood it perfectly. The Wish Jade was a masterwork of fine white tallow jade. Its preciousness was not just from the item itself but also the sentimentality and the history behind it. It was a gift to the Old Ancestress from the mother of the Empress Dowager.
