Ye Ke smiled bitterly. “Of course I know that, but Ye Maocai doesn’t believe in our identity at all, right?”

In the past, Ye Mei and Ye Ke did not believe that things would fall into their laps in this world. However, Madam Ye insisted that Ye Mei was her daughter who was swapped right after birth. After searching for their daughter for so many years, the Ye family finally found Ye Mei. Ye Mei thought that this could not possibly be true.

Because she and Ye Ke were a pigeon pair.

However, no matter how Ye Mei explained, Madam Ye wouldn’t listen. She even insisted on bringing Ye Ke into the Ye family because of Ye Mei.

The siblings were vigilant. Later, Ye Maocai came to see the two of them. Ye

Maocai was much more sober than Madam Ye and went straight to the point.

He said that the siblings were not Madam Ye’s children. However, because Madam Ye insisted, Ye Maocai did not want to make her sad and was willing to take them in.

Ye Mei was a smart person. Without knowing the pros and cons, she wouldn’t take a risk. She thought of a way to investigate the Ye family and found out that the Ye family was now in a delicate situation in the royal family. In addition, the Ye family only had a crippled young master. Ye Maocai naturally needed a pigeon pair to prove to everyone that the Ye family could prosper forever and make them give up on the thought of devouring the Ye family.

They were just each taking what they needed. A crippled young master was not a threat at all, and all the wealth of the Ye family would eventually fall into the hands of Ye Ke. With the title of the eldest miss of the Ye family, Ye Mei could also easily marry into a rich family in the future. Even if Ye Maocai had other thoughts, the siblings were not fools. They would naturally think of ways to get what they wanted.

Therefore, Ye Mei and her brother entered the Ye family and became the children of the Ye family. Madam Ye trusted them, but Ye Maocai was wary of them. This made no difference to the Ye siblings, because the Ye family was just a springboard and a backer that could help them walk further.

Ye Mei said, “It doesn’t matter if he believes our identities or not. We just have to treat him as a businessman and we are doing a deal. However, now it seems that this deal is not doing particularly well. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”

“Turned out like what?” Ye Ke was puzzled. “Sister, be more specific.”

Ye Mei said, “Previously, I thought that the Ye family was powerful in Long Ye and that we didn’t have to be afraid of anything. However, the Ye family is not doing as well as I thought. It seems like they can’t even fend for themselves. If we get involved with them, we can live a comfortable life, but if the Ye family declines, we’ll also be doomed.”

When Ye Ke heard this, his expression turned a little ugly. He said, “You mean that the Ye family is in a dangerous situation now?”

“I don’t know if it’s dangerous or not.” Ye Mei sneered. “That sly old fox, Ye Maocai, hid it well and refused to let us know the situation of the Ye family. Although Madam Ye trusts me, she trusts Ye Maocai more. It’s hard to get information out of her. However, the more this is the case, the more uneasy I feel. I have a feeling that the Ye family is in for a catastrophe.”

“Maybe you’re thinking too much.” Ye Ke thought for a moment and shook his head. “After all, Ye Maocai is the prime minister of the Daliang Dynasty. How can a catastrophe befall him? As for the Ye family being wary of us, it’s probably because we haven’t spent long enough together. We’re in the same boat now. Otherwise, when you proposed to assassinate Princess Consort Rui back then, the Ye family wouldn’t have agreed so readily. Unfortunately, Princess Consort Rui was lucky and saved by that scholar..”
