After parting with Ye Qingqing, Meng Yanqiu left the Ye residence.
He signaled to his confidant with his eyes.
"Master, as you expected, the Thirteenth Prince has indeed come to Jiangling." Meng Yanqiu's confidant said to Meng Yanqiu in a low voice, "Our business has already been secretly transferred. Madam and Master have also made arrangements. Should we inform the Ye Clan?"
The Ye family and the Meng family had already agreed on the marriage.
If the Ye family did not know about this, it would cause a lot of unnecessary misunderstandings.
Thinking of Ye Qingqing, Meng Yanqiu's expression softened. He said softly, "No, no matter what happens to the Meng family, Qingqing will not abandon us."
The confidant looked at Meng Yanqiu's confident face. Although he did not know where he got his confidence from, he did not try to persuade him.
His master's thoughts were getting heavier these days. They could not figure it out no matter what.

Damu Kingdom was far more open than other ancient countries and did not have many requirements for women. There were many women doing business on the streets. To some extent, this was also a kind of development.
"Yu Xiao, what do you think of opening an embroidery workshop?" Ye Shaohua walked on the street.
She was not wearing a fussy dress.
Her light blue underwear was slightly white at the edges. Her sleeves, lapel, and skirt were scattered with bright red plum blossoms and black branches. Her fair wrists were faintly discernible. The overly elegant clothes seemed a little mysterious after being covered with a thin layer of gauze.
No matter where she was, her face was extremely outstanding. There was a sense of laziness in her beauty and it was very eye-catching in the crowd.
Many people stopped to watch secretly.
Yu Xiao did not expect Ye Shaohua to say such a thing and was stunned.
"Then it's decided." Ye Shaohua had this idea for a long time, but she was not going to open an embroidery workshop herself.
Instead, she was going to let Yu Xiao manage the workshop. "If I remember correctly, you also learned embroidery when you were in the boudoir. This ten thousand taels is for you to start the business. I will write a plan for you when I go back."
Taking the ten thousand taels from Ye Shaohua, Yu Xiao did not know how to feel, especially when Ye Shaohua casually handed over the banknotes.
She silently followed Ye Shaohua on the street for the whole afternoon.
Ye Shaohua mainly observed the more prosperous streets.
When he saw the Jiangling Embroidery Workshop across the street, he began to walk back.
At this time, it was already getting late. In ancient times, there was no such thing as lights. Once the sky darkened, most people would go home early. Very few people would wander outside.
At the beginning, Ye Mu chose a small house deep in the alley because of financial problems, which was a narrow alley.
When she got to the door, Ye Shaohua paused.
"Miss?" Yu Xiao was astonished.
Ye Shaohua paused for a second and instantly restored her previous expression.
Yu Xiao took a few more steps forward. Under the moonlight, a cold gleam reflected by a cold weapon swept past his eyes. Yu Xiao finally realized that something was wrong.
"Be careful!"
She shouted and was about to kick the person in front of her away.
The man in martial attire knelt on one knee. "Two ladies, please save our lives. If we are lucky enough to escape this time, my life, Li Xiu, will be yours in the future!"
Yu Xiao should have realized that the two heavily injured people in front of him did not have much offensive power.
He retracted his leg and narrowed his eyes at the person kneeling on one knee.
Ye Shaohua slowly withdrew her needle. Instead of looking at the person kneeling on one knee, she looked at the man leaning against the wall beside Li Xiu.
Ye Shaohua didn't know how serious the injury on his body was, but she could smell a strong smell of blood.
Ye Shaohua stared at her for a long time before withdrawing her gaze. She walked to the front of the house and opened the door with the key. It was very dark inside. Ye Mu hadn't come back yet.
Presumably, she was still sewing clothes with Aunt Wang.
Not far away, a group of people's voices came. "He's injured. He's not far away. Search carefully for me!"
Listening to the footsteps, there should be thirty or forty people.
Li Xiu saw that the girl didn't speak and opened the door. The glimmer of hope in her heart gradually disappeared. That's right. Why would a girl risk her life to save them?
Thinking of this, Li Xiu stood up and seemed to have made up her mind. "Master …"
However, it was at this time that the girl slightly looked sideways. "Still not coming in, waiting to be caught?"
Hearing this, Li Xiu was overjoyed.
And the man he was supporting also raised his eyebrows. He looked at Ye Shaohua's back, his eyes slightly dark.
Ye Shaohua's current place was not big. It was a small courtyard with only two trees and four rooms. Ye Shaohua lived in the room on the left, and Yu Xiao lived next door.
After she went in, she directly lit a lamp.
After the light was on, Li Xiu saw Ye Shaohua's face clearly. His eyes directly widened. "It's you?"
This Li Xiu was impressively the person Ye Shaohua met in the inn that night.
Seeing that Ye Shaohua ignored him.
Li Xiu couldn't help but look at his master. "Master, this is the young lady from that night …"
Seeing the master's calm face, Li Xiu knew that the other party had already seen through it. He couldn't help but shut up in embarrassment.
After Yu Xiao came in, he didn't care about the two of them. He just took out Ye Shaohua's embroidery frame and arranged the needles and thread. It was as if he didn't see Li Xiu and the man in the study. He was incredibly calm.
But the sound outside was getting closer and closer.
"The smell of blood disappeared here. He couldn't have gone far. Everyone, search each house for me!"
After he finished speaking, there was an immediate knock on the door. "Open the door!"
Li Xiu's expression changed.
"Miss, is there any place in the courtyard where we can hide …"
Ye Shaohua unhurriedly took out a white porcelain bottle from the box and sprinkled the powder in the bottle on the room and a place not far from the door. Then, she pointed to the beam of the room. "You guys go up."
