Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 173 Bad Character
Jiang Mingyu felt that he couldn't explain it anymore, so he stopped talking and made a firm statement: if she made a fuss again, he would go back and get a divorce.

Sun Jingyi stopped making a fuss, but she was still very dissatisfied with him coming to see them from time to time. However, she didn't dare to say it, but now she had run into him here.

Sun Jingyi's dissatisfaction was becoming increasingly uncontrollable, but she was still afraid that Jiang Mingyu would divorce her, so she followed behind Jiang Mingyu and greeted him with a nonchalant expression.

"What a coincidence, you're eating here too?"

"The weather's rather muggy today, and I didn't feel like cooking at home. Zhou Xing heard that this place makes really good meat-filled flatbreads, so we came over to try them," Gu Yunyi said.

"The food here is really good; we've eaten here several times."

After exchanging a few polite words, Sun Jingyi stood expressionless behind Jiang Mingyu.

Xu Qingmeng looked at Sun Jingyi standing behind Jiang Mingyu with a face full of doubt. What was the deal with this Sun Jingyi?

It seems like the couple had some conflict because of the scientific expedition, but why does she feel like Sun Jingyi's anger is directed at them?
As soon as Jiang Mingyu sat down, Zhou Yuanjia said, "Hurry up and order what you want to eat. We've already ordered. If you order now, maybe we can bring it all up together later."

Sun Jingyi didn't want to sit with them now, so she said directly, "You guys eat first. This table looks a bit small, let's find another table."

As soon as Sun Jingyi finished speaking, she reached out to pull Jiang Mingyu, who had just sat down, up.

Before they could even get up, they heard the waiter carrying the food say, "Sir, I'm so sorry, there are a lot of people today, and there are no seats available right now. This table is quite big, so why don't you squeeze in?"

After hearing this, Sun Jingyi's face turned ugly, and she was just about to retort, "Can I not eat it?"
Jiang Mingyu didn't care: "You know how good this restaurant is. How could there be any seats at this hour? Besides, Brother Gu and the others won't mind."

"Well, it's just a meal. Everyone can squeeze in, it's the same."

After Gu Yunyi finished speaking, he stopped looking at the two of them and then called the others to start eating.

"Let me try one first." Zhou Yuanjia reached out and took one.

Gu Yunyi also reached out and took two, handing one to Xu Qingmeng.

The sesame seed cakes were all freshly made, golden and crispy, and when you cut them in half, you could see large chunks of meat inside.

This is somewhat similar to the modern roujiamo (Chinese hamburger).

Xu Qingmeng took a bite; it was crispy and quite good. The meat inside had also been processed, similar to the braised meat at Gu Family Restaurant.

The sesame seed cakes were very fragrant and had plenty of filling, but because Xu Qingmeng was pregnant, she found them a bit greasy.

Xu Qingmeng took two bites, but couldn't eat anymore.

The others thought it was great, and they all ate with gusto.

After taking only a couple of bites, the vermicelli soup was served. Xu Qingmeng smelled it and realized that the broth was made from bones. The soup was white and flavorful, and she immediately took a sip, finding it very appealing.

Xu Qingmeng put down the sesame seed cake in her hand and then ate the vermicelli in small bites.

Gu Yunyi kept a close eye on Xu Qingmeng. Seeing her put down the sesame seed cake, he asked, "Aren't you going to eat it?"

"Hmm, it's a bit too rich," she said softly.

Gu Yunyi knew her; since becoming pregnant, she couldn't eat much oily food. Seeing how much she liked her fans, he didn't try to persuade her otherwise. He took the sesame seed cake that Xu Qingmeng had only taken a couple of bites of and started eating it himself.

Sun Jingyi just couldn't stand seeing the two of them like this, as if they were so deeply in love.

He snorted inwardly, getting angrier the more he thought about it, but he didn't show it on his face. He smiled and said, "Sister-in-law must be from the prefectural city. Such a delicious meat-filled sesame flatbread can't even please you? You must eat it often."

In Quan County, Xu Qingmeng's family wasn't entirely unknown; however, only those who lived nearby knew that the current Xu Qingmeng was the same person as the previous, fat, pig-like Xu Qingmeng.

Those who live far away don't know much about Xu Qingmeng.

However, it was clear that Sun Jingyi's words were not just casual remarks out of curiosity. Although they had not discussed it before, when they first arrived, they were sitting in a carriage and mentioned that it was their first time in the prefectural city.

"Sister-in-law, you're overthinking it. I'm just pregnant and can't eat anything too greasy," Xu Qingmeng said calmly.

“Then I must have misunderstood.” Sun Jingyi chuckled. “I went to see my sister-in-law twice during the days of the provincial examination, and both times I saw that she had important guests. I thought they were her uncles or brothers, so I didn’t go over. It turns out that my sister-in-law is not from the prefectural city.”

Upon hearing this, the table fell silent.

Jiang Mingyu's brows furrowed immediately, and his expression changed drastically: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

He was caught off guard and she started spouting nonsense. He was now filled with regret. He had already warned her so many times, but she was still so unreasonable.

Sun Jingyi blinked, her face full of doubt: "I'm not talking nonsense, I'm just telling the truth."

After saying that, she didn't forget to ask the others beside her, "What's wrong with everyone? Why are you all staring at me like that no matter what I do?"

Xu Qingmeng, after all, was not a real person from ancient times, so she was not that sensitive to this. She was still thinking about when Sun Jingyi would come to find her.

Looking up, she noticed the change in the men's expressions and suddenly realized how suggestive it was that her husband wasn't home and she had casually welcomed a man into the house in this unfamiliar place.

Xu Qingmeng's gaze fell on Sun Jingyi, her eyes darkening slightly. Her eyes were clear and sharp, as if she could see through all the evil in the world, making people feel guilty and dare not meet her gaze.

For no apparent reason, Sun Jingyi's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a surge of fear.

But it was only for a moment. Then she shook her head inwardly. What right did a woman who secretly met with another man have to deserve all of Gu Yunyi's affection?

She pretended not to know and looked at Xu Qingmeng: "Sister-in-law, did I say something wrong? I'm really sorry, I didn't mean it."

Xu Qingmeng suddenly smiled.

She has experienced various forms of online bombardment in later generations. Even though she has always been immersed in the kitchen, she is still a live streamer.

Having met all sorts of people, how could I not know that someone like Sun Jingyi is just a hypocritical, innocent little flower?

Xu Qingmeng originally thought that Sun Jingyi was a bit stingy and conservative, but now it seems that her character is also problematic.

Jiang Mingyu marrying her was the worst luck imaginable.

Xu Qingmeng remained calm and composed: "You mean the noodle shop owner and waiter, right? Given their age, it's not wrong to call them uncles. However, the owner came to discuss cooperation, and we've all met the waiter before."
