"Originally I was still very hesitant." Jin Xing Ming said, "After all Father and Mother are here but now that I have met Mei-er you, I have nothing to fear. I have decided to go to Ming Qi's Ding capital. I did not think of becoming a high ranking official but there will definitely be more to earn. " He said, "The Ye family's hand covers the sky but if one were to escape to Ming Qi, the Ye family's hand would not be able to stretch that far. What do you think Mei-er?"
Ye Mei's heart moved and when Jin Xing Ming was speaking, her mind was already calculating quickly. Even though there were some things that she had not thought clearly, she still smiled and said, "Naturally it is very good. Older Brother Jin, you are indeed Mei-er's reliance. No one else in this world can be relied on. Luckily there is Older Brother Jin … "
She was delicate and gentle with a myriad of amorous feelings. Jin Xing Ming's heart jumped when he saw it and involuntarily reached out to touch Ye Mei's little hand. Ye Mei endured the disgust and allowed Jin Xing Ming to take advantage of her. If it was in the past, she would naturally disdain to do so but now she had no choice but to compromise.
Shen Miao just came out from a Furen's residence and today she had also participated in a tea party. Those Furens had gradually accepted Shen Miao's excuse of 'influencing' them and Xie Jing Xing said that the court was much more stable now. She rubbed her neck and was about to board the carriage when she saw a male and female walking out from a teahouse at the other end of the street. That female had a veil over her face and one could not see her face but Shen Miao had dealt with her for a lifetime and was able to recognise that it was Ye Mei from her steps and posture.
The male who was talking to Ye Mei seemed to have a very close relationship with her but Shen Miao was very sharp. No matter if it was etiquette or style of doing things, it did not seem like a son of a noble family and revealed a vulgarity of a peddler. Perhaps he was a merchant or something.
Shen Miao turned sideways and the shadow of the carriage blocked her so that Ye Mei could not see her. That male spoke a few more words to Ye Mei and even though he did not do anything out of line, the relationship between the two seemed to be extraordinary. Ye Mei quickly boarded the carriage and left and the male turned and walked in another direction.
Shen Miao thought about it and instructed Mo Qing, "Follow that male and inquire about everything that he can."
Mo Qing had been secretly monitoring Ye Mei these days and since this male had a relationship with Ye Mei, it was natural for Shen Miao to let him inquire. Mo Qing received the orders and left.
Shen Miao sat in the carriage but her heart started to ponder.
That male did not seem to have a noble background and Shen Miao was very clear of Ye Mei's character. She placed great importance on nobility and would not speak to commoners. Yet, she went to the teahouse with this man, and perhaps even sat down and drank tea.
Ye Mei could always make use of everyone around her, especially men. Shen Miao almost immediately thought that perhaps Ye Mei wanted to make use of this man to achieve some goal or else with her arrogant heart, she would not even bother to talk to such a lowly man.
What does she want to do?
…
Ye Mei returned to the Ye mansion in the evening. Ye Maocai, who usually came back very late, was unexpectedly early in the mansion today. Seeing her come in, he stared at her and asked, "Where did you go?"
Perhaps it was because of the predicament that the Ye Family was facing these days that even Ye Maocai, who had always been like a fish in water, began to feel troubled. His calm and contented air of a scholar had disappeared, and even his amiable appearance began to become gloomy.
Ye Mei composed herself and said: "Mother wants me to go to the jewelry shop to pick some jewelry."
"Mother?" Ye Maocai replied with a question.
Ye Mei's heart was very unhappy with his eccentric tone. Ye Maocai clearly knew that he was not Ye Furen's flesh and blood, but at the start he wanted Ye Mei to pretend to be her. Now it was as if Ye Mei racked her brains to come to the Ye family to be a Young Lady.
