In this chaos, Madam Ye had already started to pack up her gold, silver, and other valuables.
She had long seen Ye Maocai's plan. She originally had a trace of hope for Ye Maocai, but in Ye Maocai's escape plan, she was not included. Husband and wife were birds in the same forest, flying separately in the face of disaster. Madam Ye could be considered to have seen it clearly now. Ye Maocai did not care about the relationship between husband and wife, and she had the right to pretend that she did not have such a husband. The escape route that Ye Maocai had arranged now happened to be convenient for him. There was no choice, who asked Ye Maocai to be the biggest target in Emperor Yong Le's eyes?
She seriously searched the room for banknotes and jewelry that could be taken away, trying to pick up as light as possible. After all, she could not just sit and wait for death.
Ye Mei and Ye Ke were the same at this moment.
Ye Ke paced back and forth in the room, his eyebrows full of anxiety. From time to time, he asked Ye Mei, "Sister, do you think this is true? Is the Prime Minister's residence really finished? How is this possible? We did not hear anything before. Perhaps the Emperor invited Father into the palace for some court matters, and it is not what we think. "
Ye Mei was packing up some banknotes. A few days ago, she had already started to change those jewelry into silver, and then changed them into banknotes that could be used by all the banks in the Great Liang. These things were easy to carry, and they were indispensable. She said, "Are you still deceiving yourself and others now? If it was simply to talk about court matters, why did Ye Maocai let the imperial guards attempt to escape when he was invited away? It was obvious that he wanted to abscond to avoid punishment. "
"But there was no sign before this!" Ye Ke still refused to believe Ye Mei's words.
"You just did not pay attention."
Ye Ke's eyes widened, and he stared at Ye Mei in disbelief, "What do you mean, sister, did you already know? Since you already knew, why didn't you tell me? "
"I was just casually guessing, relying more on intuition, and there was no evidence. Even if I told you, would you believe me?" Ye Mei sneered in her heart, but on the surface, she said gently, "Moreover, these things, I will settle them myself. After all, you are my younger brother. Now that the Ye family is in trouble, we cannot be tied to it and sink together. We have to find a chance to escape. I will take you with me. "
Ye Ke's expression was a little complicated, and he seemed to be very unwilling. "I originally thought that staying in the Ye Mansion was the best choice, but I didn't expect that not only did I not get an official position, but now I have to run away like a stray dog. Thinking about it this way, it would have been better if I hadn't followed the Ye Family back in Qinzhou. This isn't even as good as before. "
"That might not be the case," Ye Mei collected all the banknotes and divided them into several portions. She then said, "We have to keep our lives first. You don't have to wait here. Why don't you go back to your room first and put away all your valuables. These things will be useful when we escape. "
Ye Ke moved his lips, but in the end, he didn't say anything. He walked out of Ye Mei's room with his head down, as if he had accepted his fate. It seemed like he had listened to Ye Mei and returned to the room to pack up.
Ye Mei saw that after he left, there was no sound outside the room for a long time. Only then did she stand up, a trace of haze flashing through her eyes. After pausing for a moment, she quietly left the room.
She walked towards Ye Maocai's study.
The door to Ye Maocai's study was closed. Usually, only Ye Ke and Madam Ye went into the study, and Ye Maocai occasionally said something to them. However, Ye Maocai was a cautious person. If he really wanted to hide something, he probably wouldn't do it in a place like the study that could be easily found. However, the more dangerous the place, the safer it was. Ye Maocai could also do the opposite and deliberately put things in the study to surprise people.
