Chapter 1330 - Chapter 1330 Chapter 1129 Strong Rejection_1
Chapter 1330: Chapter 1129: Strong Rejection_1 Chapter 1330: Chapter 1129: Strong Rejection_1 Moreover, if she stayed in Capital City, she would become a chef for the Yang Family, and she’d have to cook for them meal after meal.
She was a time-traveling woman who came here to enjoy peaceful days, not to be someone’s chef.
Seeing that Qiao Xiaomai was utterly unmoved, Yang Ye could only give up persuasion. After quickly finishing their meal, Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang returned to rest in the back hall, while Yang Ye left the Palace to return home, and Yang Zheng went back to the East Palace.
The back hall.
Once again lying in the familiar room, Tong Sanlang fell asleep next to the bed, while Qiao Xiaomai sat on the edge of the bed, sighing deeply.
After a long while, a palace maid came to summon her, Yang Wenxiao was looking for her.
Yang Wenxiao called over the personal nanny who served Feng Huihui, “Follow her and learn more, so when you are pregnant in the future, you can use this knowledge.”
Qiao Xiaomai “…”
This body was only sixteen years old; she and Tong Sanlang were not considering having children at the moment.
Taking a deep breath, she squeezed a smile onto her little face, “Your Highness, I have something to discuss with you.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Wenxiao waved his hand, signaling everyone else in the hall to leave.
“What do you want to say?” he asked.
“I want to say… I’m really not suitable for taking care of the Crown Princess.” Faced with Yang Wenxiao’s puzzled look, Qiao Xiaomai recounted the incident where Feng Huihui scolded her.
“Your Highness, I feel… both the Empress and the Crown Princess have misunderstandings about me. They are of noble status, and I am just a simple village girl. If something were to happen to them, I truly couldn’t bear the consequences.”
Yao Xian had once pretended to be poisoned to frame her.
Feng Huihui had reprimanded her.
With a woman’s intuition, Qiao Xiaomai knew that neither Yao Xian nor Feng Huihui had the generosity to bury the hatchet with a smile; there was a good chance they’d cause more trouble in the future. So the task assigned to her by Yang Wenxiao was truly overwhelming.
“There’s been such an incident?” Yang Wenxiao was somewhat surprised.
“Yes. I initially didn’t want to mention it. I know this is like tattling, and I’m judging others by my own petty standards, but this concerns the royal heirs. I really can’t bear the consequences,” Qiao Xiaomai said seriously.
“You may step down for now. I’ll consider this matter further,” Yang Wenxiao said.
“Your Highness, the food I make is just better-tasting, but other than that, there’s nothing special compared to the chefs from the Imperial Kitchen. You really don’t need to keep me here,” Qiao Xiaomai entreated with an even more sincere tone.
Feng Huihui wouldn’t stop eating if she weren’t there, so why insist on making her responsible for Feng Huihui?
Annoying.
Yang Wenxiao looked at her little face and raised an eyebrow, “Since you’re unwilling, let’s drop the matter.”
“It’s not that I’m unwilling; it’s that I can’t bear the consequences,” Qiao Xiaomai emphasized.
“It’s the same either way,” Yang Wenxiao smiled, then changed the subject, “By the way, have you no plans to acknowledge Yu Zizhou as kin?”
The topic shifted so quickly that Qiao Xiaomai was momentarily stunned, then shook her head and said, “No recognition. Without acknowledgment, we can collaborate unwittingly to trap others. If we were to acknowledge the relationship, we fear he might reveal it.”
Aside from Yu Ang and his son Yu Tao, no one in the entire Yu Family knew the true relationship between the Yu Family and the Tong Family.
Yu Zizhou was too impetuous and not composed enough; they couldn’t mention this matter.
“Let his grandfather teach him more, and they can acknowledge each other when the time is right.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Wenxiao nodded, “Then you and your husband must be careful in the future. You are becoming targets.”
Having forcefully demanded thirty million from the Wu Family and taken away Yi Wei Ju from Yu Ang’s hands, Tong Sanlang and Qiao Xiaomai’s influence would surpass everyone else in Capital City, except for the Yang Family.
