Little Green is almost swearing.

Your adopted daughter has no connections whatsoever. She's only been a prostitute for less than half a month and has no network of connections. Why are you kicking people out?

The capital city isn't run by the Duke's mansion.

Xiao Lü frowned: "Does Ye Yiren have a grudge against Miss?"

"You don't need to know this!"

Xiao Lü pursed her lips: "Miss, there's no need to worry. You mentioned at the tea shop that she's a businesswoman, and she's only a seventh-rank lady-in-waiting. People like that understand the stakes best. They wouldn't actively provoke someone of higher status."

"Besides, Madam was protecting Miss the whole time; she should know the stakes. Causing trouble for Miss won't benefit her at all. Why would she risk offending Madam just to spite her family?"

Li Jiaojiao paused for a moment, then realized, "Yes, that Ye family loves money more than anything and won't do anything without a profit. They will be wary of the Duke's mansion."

Xiao Lü continued, "Besides, not just anyone can enter the Duke's mansion. Many lower-ranking officials visit, but they can't even get to see the steward."

Li Jiaojiao felt much more at ease: "I wonder why that Ye family member went to the capital!"

Xiao Lü: "Maybe they're visiting relatives, or just coming to have fun. They'll go back home for the New Year."

Li Jiaojiao's eyes lit up. That's right, there will be a day when she leaves!

The Ye family's workshops are all located in the village, so it's impossible for them not to go back.

Just try to stay home as much as possible.

Speaking of the village, Li Jiaojiao thought of Zhang Shuiniang.

She bit her lip, went to her desk, wrote a letter, and handed it to Xiao Lü: "Go to the Dongshan pawnshop and ask them to do something for you."

First, I'll rescue my mother. Once she's engaged to the heir of the Marquis of Dingguo's family and has established herself in the capital, she'll make Li Zhiyuan and Granny Li pay the price!

And Ye Caiping's whole family—none of them will escape!

In Li Jiaojiao's view, this is not doing anything bad; it can only be described as revenge!
