Seeing that Ye Mei did not speak, Ye Maocai asked again, "Jewellery?"
Ye Mei said, "There was nothing that caught one's eye so one did not pick."
"You are very self-aware and know that you cannot take things that are not yours." Ye Maocai's words had a hidden meaning and suddenly changed the topic, "Who was the male that you met on the streets today?"
Ye Mei was surprised for a moment and immediately felt anger. Needless to say, it was definitely the actions of the Ye residence's guards that followed her. On the surface those guards were protecting her safety but in actual fact it was not so. Instead they were monitoring her and reporting her every move to Ye Maocai. Even so, Ye Mei did not dare to anger Ye Maocai and said, "It is a gentleman that I met in Qin Province and had a deep relationship with my family. If Father does not believe, you can send someone to investigate his background. "
Jin Mingxing was just a child of the Shang family so even if Ye Maocai went to investigate, he would not be able to find anything. Ye Maocai saw that she was so calm and his expression relaxed before saying, "Do not think that I do not care about feelings. It is just that there will soon be a big movement in Long Ye City. Since you are the daughter of the Ye family, your every move will be seen by others. If this brings disaster to the Ye family, you and the Ye family will suffer. " He then pretended to smile warmly, "Since you are a smart child, you should know what to do and what not to do. You and the Ye family are together so naturally you have to help each other."
When Ye Mei heard Ye Maocai's words, her heart sank and guessed that Ye Maocai was definitely using her to achieve something. She had a plan in her heart and after a few perfunctory words with Ye Maocai, she then returned to her room.
Upon returning to the room, she discovered that Ye Ke was already waiting in the room. Ye Ke saw that she had returned and smiled, "Older Sister, where did you go today? Why did you only return now? I have waited for you for a long time."
Ye Mei was upset and wanted to tell Ye Ke about Jin Mingxing. Initially in Qin Province, Ye Ke actually hoped that Jin Mingxing would be his Brother-in-law as the Jin family could take care of the Li family. It was just that at that time Ye Mei did not look up to Jin Mingxing and Ye Ke persuaded her for a long time, saying that Jin Mingxing would treat her well.
Now if she were to escape to Ming Qi with Jin Mingxing, naturally Ye Ke would bring Ye Ke along. But Ye Mei could not predict Ye Ke's attitude.
"Do you remember Jin Xingming from the Jin family in Qinzhou?"
"Jin Xingming?" Ye Ke looked at her suspiciously. "Yes, why did you suddenly mention him?" Suddenly, she thought of something and was shocked. She stood up and said, "Sister, don't tell me you've suddenly thought it through and want to marry him now!"
Ye Mei frowed, "Didn't you like him at first?"
"We used to be merchants, but now we are officials." Ye Ke said, "Sister, with your current status, how can Jin Xingming send you? A merchant family marrying an official's daughter, if this gets out, I'm afraid people will laugh their heads off. "
He seemed very excited. Ye Mei looked at him for a while and asked, "Then who do you think I should marry?"
"Not" Ye, he Ye. "Jin, with Mei, he" "Mei, he Jin is said. with Prince. He moved closer mysteriously and said with a smile, "Actually, Father wants you to enter the palace. I've seen it for you. The Emperor is young and handsome, and is cold to the Empress. If you enter the Palace, with your beauty and talent, one fear that the six palaces will be in your pocket. At that time, you and I, sister and brother, will be rich and powerful. " Ye Ke's eyes shone as he spoke, as if he was yearning for the future, like a person who had dug for a long time and finally saw a treasure.
"Oh?" Ye Mei looked at him, "You really think so?"
"Older Sister, when did you become so unconfident?" Ye Ke patted his chest and said, "Believe me. You will definitely become the most distinguished woman in Great Liang. So listen to Father and enter the Palace. Father will not harm you. After entering the Palace, there is still the Ye family behind you. If this is not a great thing, what is it? "
Ye Mei smiled but that smile was somewhat strange. She said, "Second Younger Brother, these days you seem to be very busy. Can you tell Older Sister what you are busy with?"
"Father is planning to find an official position for me in Long Ye." Ye Ke's eyebrows danced as he said, "These days, he is bringing me around to see colleagues!" Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly realized something and stopped talking. He looked at Ye Mei with some panic.
Ye Mei's expression did not change as she nodded and said, "So it is like that."
