Ye Hongguang’s eyes were very clear and innocent, but at this moment, they seemed to be very sharp. He said, “Sister, why did you lie? Why did you lie to

“I didn’t lie to you.” Ye Mei composed herself and smiled. “I told you the truth. If you don’t believe me, when Father comes back, go and ask him. You’ll know if I’m telling the truth or not.”

Ye Hongguang continued what he left unfinished, “Is it because of this box in your arms? Is it because you want to steal something from this box? This box belongs to Father, right? Although I don’t know what it is, since you came to steal it in this chaotic time, I think this thing is very important to Father.” Ye Mei was stunned.

This seemingly weak young master had inherited something from Ye Maocai. Although he was inexperienced, he was undoubtedly very smart.

Ye Mei gradually clenched her fists.

“Put down this box. I can pretend that nothing happened, ” Ye Hongguang said.

“Third Brother.” Ye Mei tried to coax him. “Father asked me to take this box. I really didn’t steal it.”

“Since you didn’t steal it and Father asked you to take it, there’s no hurry. When Father comes back, you can give it to him personally.” Ye Hongguang was unwilling to back down at all.

Seeing that the agreed time with Jin Xinming was getting closer and closer, Ye

Mei panicked and said, “What if I don’t?”

“Why not?” Ye Hongguang frowned. “Did you really come to steal it?”

Ye Mei was a little angry. Ye Hongguang’s train of thoughts were different from ordinary people. She didn’t even know how to threaten the young man in front of her. He was smart, but he was also stupid enough to think that Ye Mei would hand over the thing to him. However, he was also smart enough to tell at a glance that this box was important and even stopped Ye Mei at such a critical moment.

Seeing that Ye Mei did not move for a long time, Ye Hongguang said seriously, “If you insist on taking it away, I can only call Mother over and ask her to stop you.”

Madam Ye?

Although Madam Ye was not taken seriously by Emperor Yong Le and was just a cunning woman, she was the madam of all the servants in the Ye mansion. All the servants had to listen to Madam Ye’s commands. If Madam Ye found out, she would probably lose this box.

“No!” Ye Mei blurted out.

“Then put down the box.”

Ye Mei said, “Third Brother, listen to me…”

“Guards!” Ye Hongguang suddenly shouted, scaring Ye Mei so much that she immediately covered his mouth. Ye Hongguang began to struggle, but he was too weak to fight back and was completely restrained by Ye Mei. As Ye Mei covered his mouth, her gaze landed on the big scissors in the wastebasket not far away.

A glint flashed across her eyes, and she suddenly had an idea. Without hesitation, she grabbed the scissors and stabbed it at Ye Hongguang’s chest!

Ye Hongguang was stabbed in the chest. He kicked his legs a few times and stared at Ye Mei with his eyes wide open, as if he did not expect such a vicious woman to exist in the world. However, he no longer had the strength to shout.

Ye Mei glanced at him coldly and said, “I didn’t want to kill you, but you talk too much.” She turned around and left..
