“Not planning to do any business anymore?” Jingzhe couldn’t help but ask,

“Then how are they going to make a living?”

Shen Miao pondered for a moment. “It seems like he’s preparing to leave.”

MO Qing was stunned and said, “Madam, you’re right. He even sold some things and turned them into banknotes. He seems to be going on a long trip and prepared a large amount of money.”

Shen Miao understood. “Go and investigate if Jin Xinming has been in contact with anyone recently. Also, find out where he’s going. From the stuff he packed, you can figure out if he’s taking a long or a short journey, and if he’s going north or south. Keep an eye on the people he’s in contact with. Also, don’t let your guard down against Ye Mei and her brother. If Jin Xinming and

Ye Mei meet in private, you have to follow them.”

MO Qing accepted the order and left.

As Jingzhe and Gu Yu sewed under the light, Gu Yu said, “Madam, but what does Miss Ye have to do with the son of a merchant? Could it be that she likes Young Master Jin, so she is planning to elope with him?”

Shen Miao smiled and shook her head. “Do you know about vines?”

“I know!” When Jingzhe heard that, she quickly said, “When I lived in the countryside, the courtyard was filled with vines. In spring, I had to pull them out one by one. If I don’t pull them out, the vines will strangle the trees to death.”

Shen Miao said, “Ye Mei is very similar to that vine.” The vines had extremely strong vitality and were everywhere. Most importantly, any man could become her “tree”. She relied on these trees to climb up, absorbing the sunlight and rain, and kept growing until she reached the highest point.

As she grew, the trees were wrapped by her and depleted of nutrients. In the end thew withered

Jingzhe and Gu Yu looked at each other. After a while, Jingzhe whispered, “Is she that powerful?”

“This vine looks very strong at first glance, but it also has a fatal weakness.” Shen Miao said, “Once her last ‘tree’ dies and there’s nothing else to provide her with nutrients, she will die.”

Without a doubt, Ye Mei must want something from Jin Xinming. Since the son of a merchant wanted to leave, it was obvious that Ye Mei would embark on this boat with him and leave the abyss of the Ye family.

However, how could Shen Miao let her have her way?

This time, Shen Miao would decide Ye Mei’s fate for her.

For a few days in a row, Xie Jingxing did not return to the mansion. Even Tie Yi was not around. When Shen Miao asked Cong Yang, he did not know anything. She felt that the guards in the mansion were busier than usual.

Not long after, a piece of news suddenly came that Lu Zhengchun had declared rebellion and stationed his troops in Ruyang City as the base.

This news shocked the people of Long Ye. It was said that Lu Zhengchun had a lot of soldiers under him. In addition, he had been secretly recruiting troops and expanding his military strength for so many years. Ruyang City was huge, so it was a surprise that the city was occupied by him so quickly. The Lu family indeed had the courage to go against the royal family.

The guards brought by Shen Miao were all a little surprised by this news. On the other hand, Shen Miao was not flustered. This was probably what Xie Jingxing and Emperor Yong Le wanted to see. They wanted to give the Lu family an illusion that they were winning. A brute like Lu Zhengchun would naturally feel that the royal family was afraid of him and lower his guard. This way, the royal family could set up a better trap and wipe out the Lu family..
