1062: Jin Xinming (5)

Jin Xinming (5)

"I was originally very unwilling." Jin Xinming said, "After all, my parents are both here. However, now that I've met you, I have nothing to be afraid of. I'll definitely go to Ming Qi and settle down there. Even if I can't be an official, I will definitely make more money." He said, "The Ye family is powerful here, but if we escape to Ming Qi, the Ye family won't be able to come after us. Mei, what do you think?"0

While Jin Xinming was talking, Ye Mei's mind was racing. Although she had yet to figure out some things, she still smiled and said, "Of course it's good. Brother Jin, you're really someone I can rely on. Everyone in this world is unreliable. Fortunately, you…"

She was delicate, gentle, and charming. Jin Xinming's heart skipped a beat when he saw this. He couldn't help but reach out to touch Ye Mei's small hand. Ye Mei suppressed her disgust and let Jin Xinming take advantage of her. If it were in the past, she would naturally retract her hand, but now, she had no choice but to compromise.

Shen Miao came out of a madam's mansion. Today, she also attended a tea party. Those madams had gradually been influenced by Shen Miao. Xie Jingxing said that the imperial court was much more stable now. She rubbed her neck and was about to get into the carriage when she saw a man and a woman walking out of a restaurant on the other side of the street not far away. The woman was veiled, so her face could not be seen. However, from her figure and posture, Shen Miao could tell that it was Ye Mei.

The man who spoke to Ye Mei looked to be very close to her, but this man did not look like a child of a noble family. Instead, he exuded the vulgarity of a merchant.

Shen Miao turned her body to the side. The shadow of the carriage blocked her, so Ye Mei could not see her. The man said a few more words to Ye Mei. Although he did not do anything out of line, the relationship between the two of them looked not simple. Ye Mei soon left in the carriage. The man turned around and walked in another direction.

Shen Miao thought for a moment and instructed Mo Qing, "Follow that man and find out everything about him."

Mo Qing had been secretly monitoring Ye Mei these days. Since this man seemed to be related to Ye Mei, Shen Miao naturally had to ask around. Mo Qing accepted the order and left.

Shen Miao got into the carriage and started to think.

The man did not look like he came from a rich family. Shen Miao knew Ye Mei very well. She valued social status the most and would not talk to commoners. However, she actually went to the restaurant with this man.

Ye Mei had always been able to use everyone around her, especially men. Shen Miao thought almost immediately that Ye Mei might want to use this man to achieve something. Otherwise, she would not deign to talk to such a lowly man.

What did she want to do?

…

Ye Mei returned to the Ye mansion in the evening. Ye Maocai, who usually came back very late, was already in the mansion today. Seeing her enter, he stared at her and asked, "Where did you go?"

Perhaps because of the predicament the Ye family had been facing these days, Ye Maocai, who had always been calm, began to lose patience.

Ye Mei composed herself and said, "Mother asked me to go to the jewelry shop to pick a few pieces of jewelry."

"Mother?" Ye Maocai asked.

Ye Mei was extremely unhappy with his sarcastic tone. Ye Maocai clearly knew that she was not Madam Ye's daughter, but in the beginning, he was the one who wanted Ye Mei to pretend to be her daughter. Now, it was as if Ye Mei was begging the Ye family to take her in as their daughter.
