Ye Ke looked at Ye Mei and was stunned for a moment before saying, “Sister, what do you want to do?”

Ye Ke was ambitious but not smart enough. He was street smart, but he was easily blinded by superficial things and was too greedy.

She sighed and said, “You also know that the two of us are not really the Ye family’s children after all. I heard that Father has been searching for his child in private for the past few days. It’s fine if he can’t find his child, but if he finds his child, what will happen to the two of us?”

Ye Ke was stunned when he heard that. He immediately fell for her lie and stammered, “Really? Father is really looking for his child?”

Ye Mei nodded.

Ye Ke’s expression was twisted, mixed with anger and jealousy. He said, “How can Father do this to us? He used us and wanted to kick us away. Why?”

“That’s why I’m indignant.” Ye Mei said, “I’m a daughter and won’t be qualified to inherit the wealth of the Ye family, but you’re different. That cripple won’t be able to compete with you. The Ye family will be yours in the future. How can I watch your things be taken away?”

Ye Ke was already angry. After hearing what Ye Mei said, he was almost exploding with anger. He said, “That’s right. I won’t allow that to happen!”

“So I thought of a way. I have to find Ye Maocai’s weakness. Since he’s the prime minister, he must have some secrets. If we know these secrets, we can naturally use them to threaten him.”

When Ye Ke heard this, he agreed. He thought for a moment and said in frustration, “Father is usually very careful when he talks to. However…” His eyes lit up. He suddenly thought of something and said anxiously,” Once, I was in his study and saw a painting of a beauty hanging on the wall. I felt that the painting was not bad, so I touched it and was stopped by him. At that time, I guessed that there was something different about this painting.”

Ye Mei asked, “And then?”

“Father told me that there are some things in that painting, but I’m not an official yet, so it’s useless to give them to me. After I become an official, these things will be useful, and he will give them to me.” Ye Ke spread his hands. “I can only think of this. He didn’t seem to be lying, so I didn’t ask further. Does this count as a secret?”

A trace of joy flashed across Ye Mei’s eyes as she said, “It does.”

“Then I’ll think of a way to steal it!” Ye Ke immediately stood up.

“No!” Ye Mei quickly stopped him. Seeing that Ye Ke was suspicious, she said, “Since I was the one who thought of this idea, I will definitely be the one to threaten him in the end. If you threaten him, he will be dissatisfied with you. Why don’t I steal it and use it to threaten him? This way, in Ye Maocai’s heart, you are innocent and can still be trusted.”

When Ye Ke heard this, he felt that Ye Mei was right. He clapped his hands and said, “Sister, you’re so considerate!” Then, he looked at her gratefully. “Sister, you’re so good to me. When I become successful in the future, I will definitely not forget you and will definitely repay you.”

Ye Mei smiled and said very amiably, “I’ll wait for you to ‘repay’ me.”

After Ye Ke left, Ye Mei closed the door and her expression slowly darkened.

She had always been thinking that during the time she was in the Ye family, she did not get what she wanted. On the contrary, she had been schemed against and used by Ye Maocai. She was even forced to escape from the Ye family and had no choice but to sacrifice herself to a person like Jin Xinming.

No matter how she looked at it, this deal was not worth it.

Ye Mei had never been taken advantage of like this in her life.

Now, the Ye family was in trouble. Before the trouble came knocking at the door, she had to leave and jump on another boat. Otherwise, she would be tied up and sink with the Ye family.

However, before the Ye family sank, she had to take something from the Ye family to make up for what she had lost.

Since Jin Xinming was going to Ming Qi, one day, she would be able to climb up the social ladder and reach the peak of power. That was the life she wanted.

As the prime minister of the Daliang Dynasty, the Ye family must have some secrets hidden in the mansion. These secrets must be closely related to the Daliang Dynasty.

No country would turn away from the secrets of other countries.

The secrets were collected painstakingly by Ye Maocai, and the secrets were also the stepping stone for her to become a noble in Ming Qi..
