Chapter 1064: To My Countrymen (1)

see.”

Ye Ke carefully glanced at Ye Mei. Seeing that Ye Mei did not seem to have any special reaction, he heaved a sigh of relief and asked tentatively, “Sister, don’t you think it’s a good idea?”

“What do I think?” Ye Mei looked at him in surprise, then smiled. “I think it’s quite good. After entering the palace, I’ll live a rich life. Do you think I’m so stupid as to give up the wealth that’s at my tingertips?” She said, “I’ve always wanted to marry someone noble. The emperor is the most noble person in the world. There’s naturally nothing wrong with being his woman.”

As she spoke, Ye Mei returned to her usual charming self, looking like she agreed with Ye Ke very much. When Ye Ke saw this, he clapped his hands with a smile. “I knew it! Father was afraid that you wouldn’t agree and insisted that I persuade you. I knew that it was unnecessary. You are not a fool. Why would you decline?”

He let his guard down and actually told Ye Mei that he was instructed to persuade her by Ye Maocai. Ye Mei’s eyes flashed as she smiled and said, “Father probably doesn’t know me well, but you’re my brother. You naturally know me better than anyone.”

“Sister, if you enter the palace and win the favor of the emperor, don’t forget about me.” Ye Ke said, “Now that Father has already brought me into the bureaucracy, with your help in the future, my path will only become smoother and smoother. Perhaps everyone in Long Ye will listen to us. At that time, you will get whatever you want. As for that useless empress, she’s just an ornament. No one in the palace is your match.”

Ye Mei also smiled. “Of course.”

After receiving Ye Mei’s assurance, Ye Ke seemed to be very satisfied. After talking for a while, he excitedly left. After Ye Ke left, Ye Mei’s expression turned cold.

It was not surprising that Ye Maocai managed to bribe Ye Ke so quickly. What

Ye Ke looked forward to the most in his life was having a lot of power. Ye Maocai made a promise to Ye Ke, and Ye Ke was tempted. This was enough to make Ye Ke sacrifice his sister. Moreover, in Ye Ke’s eyes, entering the palace to be the emperor’s woman was probably a good thing, but he did not know that every step involved in this scheme was dangerous. This was because Emperor Yong Le was too difficult to control, and Prince Rui was even harder to deal with.

Like Ye Mei, Ye Ke was an extremely selfish person. In the face of his own interests, family was nothing.

However, how could Ye Mei be willing to pave the way for Ye Ke?

After Ye Ke left, Ye Mei stood up and paced around the room anxiously.

She understood that in some ways, Ye Ke was her enemy now.

She thought for a long time and finally made up her mind. She opened the box placed in the corner of the room. Madam Ye had made dozens of clothes for her to compensate her when she came back. They were all popular styles and the materials were top-notch. Ye Mei squatted down in front of the box and started to choose seriously.

On the other side, Shen Miao also learned the information she got from MO

Qing.

“Tin Xinming?” Shen Miao asked with a frown.

“Other than the identity of the son of a merchant, there’s nothing special about him.” MO Qing said, “However, he suddenly came to Long Ye from Qinzhou. He seems to be dealing with a few businesses of the Jin family. After that, it seems like the Jin family doesn’t intend to take on any business in the next few years..”
