Chapter 331: The Prime Minister’s Dilemma



After Ye Fan finished speaking, Ye Sheng frowned deeply.

"If we don't accept this money, it may cause unnecessary trouble."

"Besides, we haven't caught the person behind Xu Jiawei yet. What if we don't take him in later and he doesn't show up?"

Ye Chang thought about it and immediately came up with a good idea.

"Well, let's wait a few more days until Fourth Brother finds out the identities of Xu and Xu Jiawei, then we'll stop accepting cash."

"However, before that, we need to make a layout first."

"Mu Xue, Big Brother, Fourth Brother, choose a time tomorrow and deliver the counterfeit silver you collected to the bank in a grand manner."

"If anyone asks, just say we've received too much cash these past few days and there's no more room."

"Then, put up signs at the entrances of Yaoguang Pavilion, Tianquan Bookstore, and Tianxia Restaurant."

"Just write that because there is too much cash in stock, from three days on, goods over fifty taels will no longer be accepted in cash, and silver notes will be accepted instead."

Ye Rong was a little puzzled, "Third brother, if this is the case, won't the bank suffer a huge loss?"

Ye Chang curled his lips and smiled, "Don't worry, second brother, I have already thought of a countermeasure. I guarantee that I won't lose a single penny."

Everyone was a little curious, but Ye Chang kept it a secret.

Everyone knew that he handled money very properly, so since he refused to say anything, they didn't ask any more questions.

After the discussion was almost over, everyone returned to their rooms.

When they returned to the bedroom, Wang Muxue was still staring at the account book in a daze, but Ye Chang grabbed her into his arms.

"Mu Xue, stop looking. You've been busy with this counterfeit money thing these days and have neglected your husband."

Wang Muxue's pretty face turned slightly red, and she glared at Ye Chang coquettishly, but still put down the account book.

An hour later, Wang Muxue fell asleep in Ye Chang's arms, feeling a little tired.

The next morning, Wang Muxue felt a little annoyed as she looked at the account book on the table which had not been touched.

Ye Chang hugged her from behind and comforted her with a faint smile.

"Why, you don't believe in your husband's ability?"

Wang Muxue frowned, and Ye Chang turned her over to face him.

"Okay, trust me, just do as I say, and I guarantee you won't lose a cent."

Wang Muxue was skeptical, but no matter how she asked, Ye Chang refused to say anything.

"You, you're still keeping me in suspense. Well, now that you've said that, I'll leave this matter to you."

Ye Chang kissed Wang Muxue on the forehead and then smiled with satisfaction.

"That's right. Look at you, you've been scowling these past few days, and there are even wrinkles between your eyebrows."

Wang Muxue was startled and quickly broke free from Ye Chang's arms to look in the mirror.

Sure enough, there was already a shallow wrinkle between his eyebrows.

Wang Muxue sighed, and Ye Chang gently stroked her eyebrows.

"Mu Xue, are you worried?"

Wang Muxue pondered for a moment and finally decided to tell Ye Chang.

"My dear, I do have something on my mind."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chang immediately pulled her to sit down.

"Oh? What could have stumped such a clever wife of mine? Tell me about it."

Wang Muxue glared at Ye Chang unhappily, and Ye Chang immediately became serious, and Wang Muxue then spoke.

"It's all about Wang Muyu. The whole Prime Minister's Mansion is in chaos right now."

"Look, my father sent another message yesterday."

"It is said that with Xiaoxiao in our Ye family, it is easy to find a good family for Wang Muyu."

"You said he didn't even think about it. If it weren't for Xiaoxiao and His Majesty for our sake, would Wang Muyu still be alive today?"

Ye Chang frowned, "Father-in-law is really confused, not to mention his family background."

"How can you, a legitimate sister, bypass your parents and propose marriage to your concubine's sister?"

"Besides, everyone knows what Wang Muyu did now."

"No matter how much the Ye family wins His Majesty's favor, we can't harm them like this."

Wang Muxue nodded, "Who says it's not? Besides, with the family background of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it's not impossible to find an honest man to marry."

"But who knew that Wang Muyu was even more filthy-minded? She actually wanted me to find her a mistress from a noble family."

Wang Muxue became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and Ye Chang hurried to comfort her.

"Don't be angry, my lady. It's not worth getting angry with them. Your husband will be distressed if you get angry."

Wang Muxue gave Ye Chang a displeased look.

"I had originally refused this matter, but they actually used my brother's marriage as an excuse."

Ye Chang frowned, "Father-in-law is really confused. My brother is now the Prince's tutor and has a bright future."

"If they just randomly arrange a marriage for my brother, I'm afraid it will delay his future."

Ye Chang had also heard about the Wang family's affairs, and he had a rough idea of ​​what Prime Minister Wang would do.

Now, since Prime Minister Wang said that he would use Wang Muzhe’s marriage to threaten Wang Muxue, it meant that the marriage they were talking about was not a good one.

Although Wang Muzhe now has his own official position, Prime Minister Wang is his father after all.

If Wang Muzhe himself is not filial, the Wang family may use this to threaten Wang Muzhe's future.

This is also the reason why Prime Minister Wang dared to come to Wang Muxue to propose marriage on behalf of Wang Muyu.

"Muxue, which young man has Wang Muyu taken a fancy to?"

Wang Muxue's face turned very ugly when she heard this.

"Could it be that she has taken a fancy to Big Brother?"

Wang Muxue shook her head, and Ye Chang asked again: "Could it be Qin Lei's cousin?"

Wang Muxue shook her head again, and seeing that Ye Chang wanted to guess again, she told him the answer directly.
