Ye Ke looked at Ye Mei and paused for a moment. "Sister, what do you want to do?"
Ye Ke was a person with too much ambition but not enough intelligence. He was a little clever, but he was easily blinded by superficial things. He was also too greedy and could not be decisive. Ye Mei had lectured him many times since he was young, but it was because of Ye Ke's arrogance and greed that Ye Mei could easily muddle through.
She sighed and said, "You also know that the two of us are not of the true Ye Clan bloodline after all. I heard that father has been secretly looking for the Ye blood these days. If he can't find it, then so be it. If he does, what will happen to us? "
She lied without thinking, but Ye Ke was stunned and immediately believed her. He stammered, "Really … father is really looking everywhere for the true Ye family?"
Ye Mei nodded.
Ye Ke's expression became a bit twisted, mixed with anger and jealousy. "How can father be like this, using us and then kicking us away? Why? "
"That's why I'm not satisfied," Ye Mei said. "It's fine for me, but you are different. If the true Ye blood doesn't return, a cripple can't compete with you. The Ye family will be yours in the future. How can I watch as your things are handed over to someone else? "
Ye Ke was originally very angry, but now that Ye Mei said this, it went all the way to the twelfth. He said, "That's right. That won't do! "
"So I thought of a way. I have to find Ye Maocai's weakness. Since he is the prime minister, he must have some secrets. If these secrets are known by us, we can naturally use them against him. "
Ye Ke heard this and thought deeply. He said dejectedly, "Father didn't open his heart to me. Now that I think about it, there doesn't seem to be any secrets. But … "His eyes brightened as he suddenly remembered something. He hurriedly said," Once in his study, I saw a painting of a beauty hanging on the wall. I thought it wasn't bad, so I touched it and was sternly stopped by him. At that time, I guessed what was different about the painting. "
Ye Mei asked, "And then?"
"Father told me that there are some things in the painting, but I haven't become an official yet, so it's useless to me. When I become an official, these things will come in handy, and he will give them to me." Ye Ke spread his hands. "That's the only thing I can think of about the precious thing you mentioned. I saw that what he said didn't seem to be false, so I didn't probe further. Does this count? "
A hint of joy flashed in Ye Mei's eyes as she said, "Yes."
"Then I'll think of a way to steal it!" Ye Ke immediately stood up.
"No!" Ye Mei hurriedly stopped him. Seeing Ye Ke's suspicious expression, she said, "Since I was the one who thought of this, in the end, I will be the one to threaten him, even though it is for you. However, if you were to threaten him, he would be dissatisfied with you, and it would be hard for him to avoid obeying you on the surface but opposing you on the inside. Why don't I steal it and use it to threaten him? That way, in Ye Maocai's heart, you won't know anything and you'll still be his man. "
Hearing this, Ye Ke felt that Ye Mei's words were very good. He clapped his hands and said, "Sister is so thoughtful!" Then he looked at her gratefully. "Sister, you are so good to me. In the future, Younger Brother will have a meteoric rise. He will definitely not forget Elder Sister's kindness and will definitely repay you. "
Ye Mei smiled slightly, and her gaze fell on Ye Ke. Finally, she said in a very friendly manner, "I'll wait for you to 'repay' me well."
After Ye Ke left, Ye Mei closed the door, and her expression slowly darkened.
She had always been thinking that during this time in the Ye family, she hadn't gotten what she wanted. On the contrary, she had always been used by Ye Maocai. Even because she wanted to escape from the Ye family, she had no choice but to give up her body and give herself to someone like Jin Xingming. No matter how she looked at it, this deal wasn't worth it.
And Ye Mei never made a deal that wasn't worth it.
Now that the Ye family was going to be unlucky, she had to leave and jump out of the Ye family's ship. Otherwise, she would be tied up and sink with the Ye family.
But before she sank, she had to take something back from the Ye family to make up for what she had lost.
Since Jin Xingming was going to Ming Qi, then there would be a day when she would be able to climb up to the nobles of Ming Qi and reach the peak of Ming Qi's power. With one turn of one's hand, she would be able to summon clouds and rain. That was the life she wanted.
And the Ye family was the Prime Minister of the Great Liang, so the Prime Minister's residence would more or less hide these secrets and these secrets were closely related to the Great Liang.
There was no country that would shut out other country's secrets.
This secret was Ye Maocai's painstaking effort and it was also the stepping stone for her to enter the residence of the nobles of Ming Qi.
This thing could make up for everything she lost in the Ye family. Now thinking about it, what did she lose in the Ye family?
Free power, forced commitment and also a stupid Younger Brother.
