Chapter 97 Part 1: Magistrate

Happy Valentine everyone ❣️ May your life be filled and overflowing with love ?

(Mar 2/2)

Ye Ming Hui and Ye Ming Xuan were surprised when they saw Ye Ming Yu. Ye Ming Hui said: “Why didn’t you say early that you’ve come back?”

“Isn’t it in a hurry to go back,” Ye Ming Yu lied without changing his expression, “Going as fast as possible, even didn’t drink much water along the journey. When did I have the time to tell you.”

Supposed that the two people knew that Ye Ming Yu had returned three days ago but fooled around in Xi Hua Lou for those three days, no idea how their expressions would be then.

“Why did you two just come back?” Ye Ming Yu asked, “It’s already dark, but not a single person is in the house.”

“We…….” Ye Ming Xuan was about to reply. He caught sight of Jiang Li sitting opposite Ye Ming Yu at a glance and swallowed the words in his mouth.

Jiang Li was aware that what he was about to say was to guard against her as this “outsider” . But it’s no big deal. Jiang Li reckoned what they were about to discuss should be about the Ye family’s business. Now she had already found out the troubles of the Ye family’s business, so she obediently stood up and said with a smile: “Uncle Ming Yu, do chat first, I’m going back to the room.”

Ye Ming Yu smiled and said: “Ok.”

Seeing Ye Ming Yu and Jiang Li looked rather close, Ye Ming Hui and Ye Ming Xuan had strange expressions.

Waiting until Jiang Li left, Ye Ming Xuan and Ye Ming Hui sat beside Ye Ming Yu. Before they spoke, Ye Ming Yu first opened his mouth. He said: “Eldest brother, second brother, you are really too excessive towards a little girl. How is there such a thing, people intentionally came back to visit mother, but the result? You didn’t let her meet. Saying a bit of perfunctory words and still defending against others, even I, being rough and sloppy, can see it. How fragile a little girl’s heart is, afraid she has seen it since earlier. She must be quite sad, just not letting you know and still force herself to smile. I say, both of you are already much older, why are you still bullying a little girl?”

Ye Ming Xuan was angered until he almost couldn’t let this breath out by Ye Ming Yu’s speech. He said: “We are bullying her? Which of your eyes saw us bullying her?”

“Both of my eyes saw it!” Ye Ming Yu pointed at his eyes, “without seeing people, Ah Li understood already and took the initiative to return to her room. That is, the little girl’s soft temper, if it were me, I would have made noise since long ago.”

“Noisy noisy noisy,” Ye Ming Xuan said: “quickly make noise. You think you are still a 10 years old young master. Not reflecting how old you already are, this sentence should be used on yourself!”

“Did you talk to her?” Ye Ming Yu was steady and merely asked.

“Talk.” Ye Ming Yu said: “Why?”

“What do you think of her?”

“Good!” Ye Ming Yu patted his thigh, “Way I see it, Ah Li is not an ordinary official young lady. That insight, that communication skill, the two of you should learn carefully from her. I didn’t say it, but the ten thousand flower tube I brought back from the ocean fleet, if it’s changed to any one of you, no one would know what it is, and also would not know how to use it. But she knows! She can still use it! She also immediately knows the peac.o.c.k feather that I gave. The most important thing, this girl is loyal! Unlike other girls, the age is older but small-minded.”

“Loyal?” Ye Ming Xuan asked: “Why did you say that she’s loyal? Did she help you to hide something?”

Ye Ming Yu secretly scolded Ye Ming Xuan’s cunningness in his heart. How could he make it out. Ye Ming Yu said that Jiang Li was loyal naturally because Jing Li didn’t let out the matter of him returning to Xiangyang earlier and stayed at Xi Hua Lou, and had no intention of saying it. Is this not considered loyal? This is very loyal!

Ye Ming Yu quietly coughed a couple of times and glossed over it by saying: “Nothing. Anyhow, the two of you haven’t told me, where did you go, and why isn’t anyone at home?”

The two brothers looked at each other. Ye Ming Hui said: “Something happened at Li Zheng Tang, so we went to Li Zheng Tang.”

“I just mentioned this matter to Ah Li. It hasn’t been resolved yet?” Asked Ye Ming Yu.

“You told her about this?” Ye Ming Xuan asked loudly.

“Yes.” Ye Ming Yu nodded.

“You….. you are really,” Ye Ming Xuan choked for a long time and could only spit out two words: “Causing trouble!”

……

Jiang Li, who had returned to her courtyard, was sitting in front of a table.

Tong’er and Bai Xue were busy moving the trunk of “peac.o.c.k feather” into the house. The trunk was very heavy, not to mention, when the trunk was opened, the fine l.u.s.ter on those sh.e.l.ls flashed dazzlingly. Although they were just sh.e.l.ls, they were as beautiful as pearls and jade.

Tong’er and Bai Xue clicked their tongues in wonder, but Jiang Li was somewhat absent-minded.

As it turned out, this was the problem in the Ye family’s business. The Ye family originally started out with weaving. For many years, the businesses outside had gradually been reduced. Even the jewelry store, Hong Xiang Lou, was closed. The Ye family’s weaving business was well-known throughout the Northern Yan, the fragrant satin was even more unique of its kind. Only the Ye family had the ability to produce it.

If the problem really came out of the Ye family’s material, it would be a huge blow to the Ye family’s business, it could possibly be ruined with one stroke. If words spread, the Ye family’s business would truly collapse. If this happened, then even the Ye family’s vast wealth would have to be taken out and the Ye family would be penniless.

It’s unknown what the issue actually was with the material. As Ye Ming Yu said, the weaving manufacture was in Xiangyang with Ye Ming Hui and Ye Ming Xuan watching it everyday. There was no problem for so many years but suddenly a mishap came out, could it be incidental?

Jiang Li vaguely had a feeling that this matter was absolutely not random. No need to mention other things, but at present, Ye Shijie had just entered officialdom, he’s at the starting point of his career as an official. In case a problem occurred in the Ye family and someone wanted to use the Ye family to make a deal with Ye Shijie, Ye Shijie’s official career would be in the control of others.

Thinking of this, Jiang Li was abruptly alarmed. If it was truly like this, the trouble in the Ye family’s business was really caused by someone. And the final purpose was precisely to make use of the Ye family to control Ye Shijie, or perhaps to directly control the entire Ye family? It should be made aware that the Ye family’s wealth could make people green with envy. If a person could really control the Ye family, it would at least be very easy to do many things.

The Ye family could provide a steady flow of riches.
