Not to mention living as a lord in her Thousand Gold House, but now asking for money from her? The smile on Ye Zhen's face deepened. Under Ye Chun Ming's impatient gaze, she said, "No silver!"
Ye Chun Ming's face changed, as if he couldn't believe that Ye Zhen had no silver. "What did you say?"
"Eldest cousin, do you think I am a silver mine? It seems that you are used to spending money in the Ye family and don't know the difficulty of making money." Ye Zhen said faintly.
"Little cousin, you know very well whether the Thousand Gold House has silver or not. Don't think that it belongs to you. Don't forget, you are still surnamed Lu, not Ye." If it weren't for the fact that Lu Yaoyao was still of use to him, he wouldn't have admitted that she was his cousin. How dare she think of the Ye family's things as her own?
Ye Zhen used to dislike this eldest cousin, but now she felt that he was really ridiculous. "Even if I am not surnamed Ye, it is not your turn to make decisions here. If you don't like being here, then please leave."
If someone dared to say such words in front of Ye Chun Ming in the past, he would have been dragged out and beaten to death. But today, he could only suppress his anger and look down at the cold face of Lu Yaoyao. If it weren't for the fact that she could win the favor of Mo Rongzhan, how could he be polite to her? "Little cousin, I don't mean that. I have a use for the ten thousand silver taels."
"What use?" Ye Zhen asked. Ye Chun Ming's request for silver was certainly not a good thing. She just didn't know what he wanted to do now that he was like this.
Ye Chun Ming took a deep breath. Although he disdained to talk too much with Lu Yaoyao, things were different now. "When I return to the capital this time, I will visit the old friends of the Ye family. If I want to avenge myself in the future, I will need their help."
"Old friends?" Ye Zhen almost laughed out loud. Did the Ye family still have old friends? When the whole family was beheaded, who but Xu Lao sympathized with and helped the Ye family? Yet he still expected others to avenge him? What a joke. "Who in the whole capital will help you?"
"You don't have to worry about that." Ye Chunming said calmly. There were many officials in the imperial court who had tried to curry favor with his father in the past, and they had even been personally promoted by his father. Now that he was in trouble, those people would definitely help him on account of their past kindness.
Ye Zhen felt that if Ye Chunming didn't go out and hit a wall, it would not work. Seeing how he was abused with ten thousand taels of silver, she suddenly felt that it was worth it. "Hong Ling, go and get ten thousand taels of silver for the eldest young master."
Man Qin looked at Ye Zhen in surprise. Was she really going to give Ye Chun Ming the banknote? What if he did something that would implicate Master and her?
Ye Chunming smiled in satisfaction. He felt that this little cousin was indeed easy to control. With just a few words, she was already subdued. In the future, when she entered the palace, it would be easy to use her.
Hong Ling did not doubt Ye Zhen's decision. She knew very well that the girl knew the Eldest Young Master well. There must be other reasons for her to be willing to give him 10,000 taels. She turned and went outside, and soon counted 10,000 silver notes.
"It's good for the Ye family to have a girl like you." Ye Chunming praised Ye Zhen, took the banknote and snorted at Man Qin, then lifted his foot and walked out of the hall.
Man Qin looked at Ye Zhen, "Miss, why did you give him the banknote?"
Ye Zhen's eyebrows were full of smiles. "Uncle Man, who else do you think he can find to help him? Visit the Ye family's old friends … The Lu family was just demoted to a marquis, but the whole capital's aristocratic families didn't recognize them in the blink of an eye, let alone the Ye family. Just wait for him to come back dejected. "
"You know that he will hit a wall, then … you still give him the banknote. If others know that he is still alive, won't it be troublesome?" Man Qin asked in surprise. He thought that the girl didn't know anything and only gave Ye Chunming money because she was afraid that he was her eldest cousin. He didn't expect that she actually knew everything.
"Uncle Man, even if I don't give him the banknote, won't Ye Chunming go out to find those so-called old friends?" Ye Zhen said lightly, "He has appeared in the capital and came to find my father. Do you think his identity can be hidden? I have advised him, but he still insists on going his own way. Even if I am his cousin, even if my father is his second uncle, there is no reason for me to accompany him in his foolishness. "
This girl … Her character is really like the old master. What she said is exactly the same as the old master. "Miss, do you want to send someone to follow him?"
Ye Zhen smiled. "Follow him, but don't help him. Let him be taught a lesson."
Ye Chunming took himself too seriously. So far, he has not re-recognized his identity. He took the opportunity to escape. Unfortunately, he was not wanted. Instead, he was still a military counselor in Zhao Family Island. He had the same respected status, so he became more and more conceited.
"Yes, miss." Man Qin nodded with a smile. Only today did he realize that the girl raised by the Lu family was actually the most like the old master.
"By the way, did father enter the palace again today?" Ye Zhen asked.
Man Qin said, "Yes, the old master entered the palace early in the morning. If you want to see him, you may have to wait until the afternoon."
Ye Zhen originally wanted to enter the palace in these two days, but she was a little hesitant.
If she entered the palace, she would definitely meet Mo Rongzhan. How could she tell him that she was going to Dongqing? Her father didn't allow her to tell him anything. It was obvious that he wanted to punish Mo Rongzhan.
Of course, she didn't think that what her father did was wrong. He also felt sorry for her. He felt sorry that she was hurt by Mo Rongzhan, so now he wanted to hurt Mo Rongzhan completely. Just like what her father said, if Mo Rongzhan really loved her, he would definitely wait for her to come back and believe in her.
Well, in fact, she was a little reluctant to see him sad.
It was better not to enter the palace for the time being. She would pay her respects to the Empress Dowager after she figured out how to talk to him.
"I'll wait for father here." Ye Zhen said.
At this time, Ye Yiqing was not discussing the contents of the trade treaty with Prime Minister Xu. In fact, the contents of the non-war treaty and the trade treaty had almost been finalized, only waiting for the emperor of both sides to seal and confirm.
When he was ready to leave the palace, he was invited to the imperial study and was staring at Mo Rongzhan face to face.
"Father-in-law …" Mo Rongzhan said in a deep voice.
"I dare not." Ye Yiqing interrupted him with a blank expression.
Mo Rongzhan personally poured a cup of tea for Ye Yiqing. "Father-in-law, what I said to you at the beginning … I was wrong."
This little bastard, who had always been high and mighty, actually admitted his mistake in front of him? Ye Yiqing raised his eyebrows and still looked at him coldly without speaking.
