장 187: You Get What You Give

However, Xia You knew that asking for that money directly won't work. She has to use gossips.

Ye Jiayao found it hilarious how everyone at the mansion seemed to stand up straighter every time she passes.

She was in such a hurry this morning that she didn't realize what they were doing until now.

When she got to her yard, Qiao Xi told her, "Second Young Mistress, Madame was asking what time you'll be back. She asked to send someone to inform her of your return."

Ye Jiayao was surprised to hear that, her mother-in-law has never summoned her before. "Did she say anything else?"

Qiao Xi shook her head. "No, but she looked unhappy."

"Then send Ying Tao t tell her I'm back."

Soon after Ying Tao left, Qiao came.

"Second Sister-in-law, you have to help me," Qiao pleaded.

This was just one surprise after another. "Please sit, Big Sister. Tell me what happened."

Qiao told her everything that happened at the gardens with Zhou.
