Seeing that Ye Mei did not speak, Ye Maocai asked again, “Where’s the jewelry?”

Ye Mei said, “There’s nothing I like, so I didn’t pick any.”

“You know your place well. You know that you can’t take anything that’s not yours.” Ye Maocai suddenly changed the topic. “Who was the man you met on the street today?”

Ye Mei was stunned for a moment before anger surged out. Needless to say, it must be the guards who snitched on her. On the surface, those guards looked like they were protecting her, but in fact, they were not. Instead, they were monitoring her and telling Ye Maocai everything. Even so, Ye Mei did not dare to flare up at Ye Maocai. She said, “It’s a Young Master I knew back in Qinzhou.

Jin Xinming was just a child of a merchant. Even if Ye Maocai went to investigate, he would not be able to find anything. Seeing that she was so calm, Ye Maocai relaxed and said, “It’s not that I want to monitor you. There will be a big move in Long Ye soon. Since you’re the daughter of the Ye family, your every move will be seen by others. If you cause any trouble for the Ye family, you and the Ye family will suffer.” He pretended to be gentle and smiled. “Since you’re a smart child, you should know what to do and what not to do. You’re with the Ye family, so we naturally have to help each other.”

After hearing what Ye Maocai said, Ye Mei’s heart sank again. She was more and more certain that Ye Maocai wanted to use her to achieve something. She made up her mind and said a few more words to Ye Maocai before returning to her room.

When she returned to the room, she found that Ye Ke was already waiting for her. Seeing that she was back, Ye Ke smiled and said, “Sister, where did you go today? Why are you back so late? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

Ye Mei was frustrated and wanted to tell Ye Ke about Jin Xinming. Back in Qinzhou, Ye Ke actually wanted Jin Xinming to be his brother-in-law because the Jin family could take care of the Li family. However, at that time, Ye Mei did not like Jin Xinming. Ye Ke even persuaded her for a long time, telling her that Jin Xinming would treat her well.

If she wanted to escape to Ming Qi with Jin Xinming, she naturally had to bring Ye Ke along. However, Ye Mei was still a little uncertain about Ye Ke’s attitude.

“Do you still remember Jin Xinming from the Jin family in Qinzhou?” Ye Mei asked.

“Jin Xinming?” Ye Ke looked at her suspiciously. “I remember. Why did you suddenly mention him?” Suddenly, he thought of something and was shocked. He stood up and said, “Sister, you are not going to tell me you suddenly decided to marrv him. are vou?”

Ye Mei frowned. “Didn’t you like him back then?”

“Back then, we were merchants, but now, we’re officials.” Ye Ke said, “Sister, with your current status, how can Jin Xinming compare to you? If word gets out that you marry him, I’m afraid people will laugh at you.”

He looked very excited. Ye Mei looked at him for a while and asked, “Then who do you think I should marry?” 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝒏𝙤𝒗𝒆𝒍．𝒄𝙤𝙢

“Sister, with your status, it’s not an exaggeration to say that you can marry a prince, but Long Ye doesn’t have a prince.” He leaned closer and smiled mysteriously. “Actually, Father wants you to enter the palace. I’ve checked it for you. The emperor is young and handsome, and he’s quite cold to the empress. If you enter the palace, with your beauty and talent, you’ll be the head of the harem in no time. At that time, the two of us will be rich.” Ye Ke’s eyes lit up as he spoke, as if he yearned for the future he mentioned, like a person who had been digging for a long time had finally seen a treasure.

“Oh?” Ye Mei looked at him. “Do you really think so?”

“Sister, when did you become so unconfident?” Ye Ke patted his chest and said,

“Believe me, you will definitely become the most noble woman in the Daliang Dynasty. So listen to me and go to the palace. I won’t harm you. After you enter the palace, you will have the support of the Ye family. Isn’t this a great thing?”

Ye Mei smiled, but that smile was a little strange. She said, “Brother, you seem to be very busy these days. Can you tell me what you’re busy with?”

“Father plans to find an official position for me in Long Ye.” Ye Ke said happily, “He took me to see his colleagues these days!” As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly realized something and stopped. He looked at Ye Mei in panic.

Ye Mei’s expression did not change. She nodded and said, “I see..”
