“Now, I heard that Prince Rui and Princess Consort Rui are very close.” Ye Ke said, “A few days ago, I heard that the two of them went out together. It’s obvious that Prince Rui loves Shen Miao to the core. Speaking of which, Shen Miao is not as beautiful as you. I wonder how she made him fall in love with her.” Ye Ke looked at Ye Mei. “Sister, are you still bent on marrying Prince Rui?”

Ye Mei was a little frustrated. Back then, in Qinzhou, she could use any men to her advantage and was invincible. However, facing Xie Jingxing, she felt helpless. Ye Mei could feel that the way Xie Jingxing looked at her was no different from how he looked at Lu Wan’er, no different from all the young ladies of the officials. She felt that she could not conquer Xie Jingxing at all, because Xie Yuan did not treat her as a woman.

At the thought of this, Ye Mei said ambiguously, “I’ll think about it. The most important thing now is to find out what happened to the Ye family. If the Ye family is in trouble, we have to make plans to escape as soon as possible.”

“Actually…” Ye Ke stammered and said,” Ye Maocai came to look for me once.

He said that he wanted you to enter the palace. ‘

Entering the palace? Ye Mei frowned and suddenly smiled. Her smile was flirtatious, but there was a deep meaning in it. “Ye Maocai wants me to get close to the royal family because he finds Xie Jingxing difficult to deal with?”

Ye Mei sneered and said, “The emperor is childless. There must be something fishy going on. If I enter the palace and have no children too, I won’t have anyone to rely on when I get old. If the emperor dies, will I have to be buried with him? Ye Maocai only wants to suck up to the royal family and doesn’t care about my life. I won’t enter the palace. Let him give up on this idea.”

It was not that Ye Mei had never thought of entering the palace, but she had always been good at analyzing the pros and cons. The fact that the emperor did not have a child of his own was probably due to his own problem. How long could a woman without a son live in the harem? Not to mention the harem, even in the house of a rich family, without a son, she would either die or live a miserable life. This was not what Ye Mei wanted.

Ye Ke was a little embarrassed and said, “I thought so too, so I immediately told Ye Maocai that it was impossible.”

“Oh?” Ye Mei looked askance at him and said casually, “Is that really what you told him?”

Ye Ke avoided Ye Mei’s gaze and said, “Sister, do you not even believe me?”

Ye Mei smiled. No one knew what that smile meant. She said, “In short, you and I have to know our place. The Ye family is not our real family. I’ll think of a way to find out what exactly happened to the Ye family now and what they’re planning. If the Ye family is in trouble, the two of us have to stay away from them.”

“Sister, it’s not that serious.” Ye Ke said disapprovingly, “If it was really that serious, the Ye family would have long started to find a way out for themselves.”

Ye Mei sneered. “I’m afraid that the Ye family doesn’t even know that a disaster is coming.”

As they spoke, they heard someone call from outside the door, “Eldest Sister, Second Brother.”

Ye Ke went forward and opened the door, only to see the servant pushing Ye Hongguang outside. Ye Maocai was not bad to his crippled son. He got someone to specially make a chair for him to sit on. The chair was pushed by the servant, and he could go wherever he wanted. However, Madam Ye did not like this son at all..
