964 Good Intention (3)
“What a coincidence.” Shen Miao smiled and said casually, “Qinzhou is not far from Long Ye. The Ye family has been searching for them for more than ten years but to no avail. This time, you found them as soon as they entered Prince Rui’s mansion.” She looked at Ye Mei. “It’s really coincidental, right, Miss Ye?”
Ye Mei smiled. “Indeed. Prince Rui’s mansion is a lucky place.” She did not seem to understand what Shen Miao was implying.
Shen Miao looked away and at Ye Maocai. “Lord Ye, what brought you here today?”
Ye Maocai quickly said, “I’m here to bring them back home.” After saying that, he said in shame, “As a father, it’s my fault for failing to take care of the two of them. Now that my family is finally reunited, we naturally can’t let them live outside anymore. Today, we’ll bring them back and put their names on the genealogy. From now on, they’re the descendants of the Ye family.” At the end of his sentence, he looked a little excited. Looking at Ye Mei and Ye Ke, his eyes were filled with tears.
However, Shen Miao felt that this show was lame and boring.
Ye Maocai then exchanged a few words with Xie Jingxing, looking like he wanted to take this opportunity to befriend Xie Jingxing.
The Daliang Dynasty’s royal family wanted to rope in the Ye family to deal with the Lu family. The Ye family was in an awkward position. They had always been neutral and did not express their stance. Logically speaking, after Ye Mei and her brother returned to the Ye family, the Ye family would have more confidence to outlast the Lu family and the emperor. However, at this moment, he was clearly expressing good will and his desire to side with Emperor Yong Le. After all, Prince Rui and Emperor Yong Le were close. If he pledged loyalty with Prince Rui, it would be no different from pledging loyalty with Emperor Yong Le.
Shen Miao’s heart skipped a beat. This was naturally not something she wanted to see happening. Once the Ye family really sided with Emperor Yong Le, if she took down the Ye family, she would be undermining Emperor Yong Le’s power. Not to mention Emperor Yong Le, even Xie Jingxing would not agree.
However, if she were to form an alliance with the murderer who killed her children, she would hate herself for the rest of her life.
On the other hand, Xie Jingxing’s attitude was ambiguous.
He listened to Ye Maocai’s words casually and replied indifferently, avoiding the question that would expose his attitude. Ye Maocai and Madam Ye talked for a long time and said everything they had to say, but Xie Jingxing still did not reveal any attitude.
The Ye family thought that if they pledged loyalty to the royal family, the royal family would accept them readily with gratitude. However, Xie Jingxing remained indifferent, as if he was just watching a show. It even made people wonder if he understood the hint in Ye Maocai’s words just now.
Ye Maocai and his wife were anxious. It was said that Prince Rui of the Daliang Dynasty was very unfathomable and also very tricky to deal with. They originally wanted to put on airs, but in the end, they made a fool of themselves.
Shen Miao was also a little surprised by Xie Jingxing’s attitude. On second thought, there was indeed something fishy about the Ye family suddenly expressing goodwill. Xie Jingxing was not a brainless person, so he naturally had to investigate thoroughly. Shen Miao heaved a sigh of relief. As long as Xie Jingxing did not express the intention to accept the Ye family, it was fine.
