Chapter 35
Madam Ye still wanted to say something . However, when she saw Ye Shaohua out of the corner of her eye she immediately wiped the outer corner of her eyes . She pretended nothing happened and greeted Ye Shaohua .
Little Aunt Ye was also hurriedly wiping her tears . Then she took Ye Shaohua’s hand carefully and looked at her once from head to toes . “Shaohua grew truly full of life . The woman wearing the t.i.tle of Beauty in our Yunnan province is not as good as you by far . ”
Speaking to Ye Shaohua, Little Aunt Ye also remembered for what business she came here today .
She took out a pile of banknotes from her the pocket and the deed of her shops . “Sister-in-law, although the minister’s mansion is not as good as before, Shaohua and Huaijin’s marriage are still very important . This is all I saved up these few years . When the time comes, Shaohua can add to her trousseau . It’s a pity, I originally had a set of blood red jewellery that was suitable for Shaohua . ”
Their Ye Family’s daughter must get married grandly and magnificently no matter what .
When she got married, her big brother’s wife dressed her up with 10 li(500m*10) of red fabric, and more than half of Ye family’s property was moved with her to Yunnan province .
Nowadays, that ten li of red fabric was all taken by that greedy Great Military Officer Wen with his rapacious designs .
Little Aunt Ye was surely also not having an easy time at Wen Mansion . Madam Ye didn’t want to accept her money . Although Ye Mansion was declining, she still had enough for Ye Shaohua’s dowry .
It’s only that, in front of Ye Shaohua’s face, Madam Ye’s words were not easy to say .
Little Aunt Ye very unyieldingly put the money in the hands of one of Madam Ye’s servant, and she turned back and headed to Wen Mansion .
Her footsteps were not as light as regular people . On the contrary, it looked like she suffered from some kind of internal injuries as she slowly walked away .
Ye Shaohua touched her chin with one hand and looked at Little Aunt Ye’s departing back . She inclined her face and said with a handsome voice, “Mother, let us have aunt come back . ”
“You’re speaking nonsense,” Madam Ye did not look at her with a good spirit . “Now, with our residence in this kind of situation, you want to bring back your aunt to suffer with us?”
Although she didn’t have an easy time at the Great Military Officer’s Mansion, it was at least safer than Ye Mansion .
“Alright, mother, don’t be angry, don’t be angry . Let us have a cup of tea . ” Ye Shaohua poured a cup of tea with a smiling expression and handed it to the border of Madam Ye’s mouth .
Ye Shaohua sat with Madam Ye for a while, until the other person’s mood was significantly relaxed, she returned to her room .
Back to her room, the smile on her lips disappeared in an instant . The pupils of her eyes were bone-penetratingly cold .
“Miss?” Mo Hen followed her closely, she couldn’t help but rub the back of her hand .
“How many people left Ye Mansion?” Ye Shaohua coldly opened her mouth .
Mo Hen furrowed her brows . “More than half, they are afraid of beheading 1, and Madam benevolently returned them their deed (of being sold into slavery), she let them return home to enjoy a life of retirement . ”
Ye Shaohua took her pen and wrote a few lines on a paper . She handed it over to Mo Hen . Her tone was indifferent: “Send it to Wu Xin 2 . ”
“Miss, I want to tell you that you must have mister Wu Xin come . Let him hack that Great Military Officer Wen to pieces!” Mo Hen said aggressively . Thinking and thinking, she continued: “Oh, right, Shen family is sending someone to talk . Yun Country’s Crown Prince, the Third Prince and the Seventh Prince’s faction all sent people to Jiangnan to find you . ”
She was the only person in Ye Mansion who knew of Ye Shaohua’s ident.i.ty .
Madam Ye and Ye Huaijin both thought she had always been an ordinary miss, but Mo Hen knew that Miss was not a simple ordinary daughter .
In those two years in the valley, she personally created a commercial dynasty with her own hands .
In fact, while she was the chief of secret services, at that time M Country’s people were firstly the most afraid of Ye Shaohua’s hacking skills . Secondly, they were afraid of her intelligence network . And thirdly, they feared her strength in itself .
These past few years, she had established an intelligence network covering almost the entire world . When Bai Zhenzhen was still strenuously engaging in her shop front, Ye Shaohua had already created a system to exchange resources between various countries and established nearly 100 caravans moving northern goods to the south .
She personally designed motor-driven boat that could travel a thousand miles a day, moving goods at an extremely quick speed .
Other merchants’ speed was not as quick as hers . She also didn’t lack foresight . The special local products of the north s.h.i.+pped to the south were usually more than ten times more expensive, one could easily imagine the sudden huge profits generated .
Under her control, she had received countless talented people from different fields . She had attracted customers, and also attracted investors .
Even the wanton and unrestrained first under heavens. .h.i.tmen all surrendered to her .
Even the monarchs of various countries also treated her with a somewhat humble face .
However, Ye Shaohua had always been lazy, and she did not care about these matters . All this program was let to their own Shen family to ponder over . Occasionally, she appeared with a veil covering her face, thus her ident.i.ty was very mysterious to outsiders .
Even Ye family’s people did not know that the richest person in the land under heaven was Ye Shaohua herself .
Ye Shaohua had always been afraid it would be troublesome to them (Ye fam) . However, today, Great Military Official Wen had truly provoked her anger, so she, just now, decided to intervene personally .
Meanwhile, the dispute between the Third Prince and the Seventh Prince for the t.i.tle of crown prince had finally been made public . Both of them had their own cards in their hands 3, and the Third Prince’s trump card was precisely Bai Zhenzhen .
“Zhenzhen, wait until I seat on that seat, I will certainly take you as my wife and make you the Empress . ” The Third Prince complacently 4 looked at Bai Zhenzhen, his face showing gentleness .
He ignored the fabulous and extremely splendid face that emerged in his mind .
Unlike the Third Prince’s effortless and relaxed manner, the Seventh Prince over there had a bit more trouble . The Seventh Prince tried to convince the Crown Prince of Yun Country with great difficulty . However, at this time, he unexpectedly did not agree to send troops .
He did not even give him an explanation .
Bai Zhenzhen was determined to sit on the highest position and stepping on Ye Shaohua with the sole of her feet . She wanted to let her regret . Therefore, she directly chose to take risks and force the Emperor to abdicate .
Inside the Crown Prince’s palace, the Emperor had discovered a person proficient with needles and a yellow robe . Afterward, his body unexpectedly became worse and worse, and now he could only lie down on his bed .
The Third Prince took advantage of this opportunity and brought a large number of men and horses to kill their way into the Imperial Palace .
His best inside secret guard also turned his back on him and joined all the rebellious people who appeared one by one inside the palace .
This first time forcing the emperor to abdicate seemed very easy . The Third Prince and Bai Zhenzhen originally thought they would see the scene of a b.l.o.o.d.y battle, so they didn’t dare believe what they saw was true .
“So, it turned out to be you?” The Emperor looked at the Third Prince who had busted into his palace . His eyes flashed with disappointment . He pointed his finger at him and said . “You, this unfilial son! Servant come beat him and throw him in the prison!”
However, n.o.body paid attention to him .
The Third Prince let people arrange an ink stone and put it in front of the Emperor . He then said mockingly: “Don’t waste your strength, Imperial Father . Write an abdication letter ba . ”
The Empress stood by the side . As she looked at the Third Prince, her excited hands were shaking .
She was about to a.s.sume the position of Empress Dowager soon .
The Crown Prince’s fingers pressed against his lips . He looked at the Maternal Uncle who was standing behind the Third Prince and important ministers . Many of them had formerly been his subordinates . “You all defected?”
“Huangfu Yunzheng, you still don’t understand? From time immemorial, the winner will become the kind and the loser will be considered as the robber5 . Ultimately, it’s your own fate that was not good!” The Third Prince’s eyes showed his arrogance . “Your eyes are also very poor, my beloved Imperial Elder Brother . Did you know that when Imperial Father wanted you to get engaged to the Second Miss of Bai Family, she was actually Fengya Lou’s Second Young Master! Imperial Father was really too biased towards you! However, fortunately you were blind . Now, how do you feel? Are you very indignant? Are you very regretful?”
