Chapter 1075 Qin and Qi join forces (6)
Ye Ke looked at Ye Mei, stunned for a moment, and said, "Sister, what do you want to do?"
Ye Ke was ambitious but lacked intelligence. He was clever, but easily deceived by superficial things. He was also greedy and indecisive. Ye Mei had told him this many times since they were young, but it was precisely because of Ye Ke's arrogance and greed that he was able to get away with it so easily.
She sighed and said, "You know, after all, you and I are not the true blood of the Ye family. I heard that Dad has been secretly searching for the flesh and blood of the Ye family these days. If he can't find it, it's fine. But if he does, how will you and I deal with it?"
She lied so casually, but Ye Ke was stunned and believed it immediately. He stammered, "Really... Dad is really looking for the real Ye family members everywhere?"
Ye Mei nodded.
Ye Ke's expression twisted a little, a mixture of anger and jealousy. He said, "How could Dad do this? He used us and then kicked us away? On what basis?"
"That's why I'm unwilling to accept this," Ye Mei said. "It's fine with me, but it's different with you. If the true bloodline of the Ye family doesn't return, a cripple won't be able to compete with you for anything. The Ye family will be yours in the future. How can I watch your things being handed over to others?"
Ye Ke was already quite angry, but after hearing what Ye Mei said, his anger was escalated to the extreme. He said, "That's right. This won't do!"
"So I came up with a plan. We must find Ye Maocai's weakness. Since he is the Prime Minister, he must have some secrets. If we know these secrets, we can naturally use them as leverage to blackmail him."
Ye Ke agreed deeply with what he said. He thought for a moment, then said dejectedly, "Father never really opened up to me. Now that I think about it, it seems there's no secret. But..." His eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered something. He spoke hastily, "One time, I was in his study and saw a painting of a beautiful woman hanging on the wall. I thought it was interesting, so I touched it, but he sternly stopped me. That's when I guessed what was different about this painting."
Ye Mei pressed on: "And then?"
"Dad told me that there are some things in the painting, but I haven't become an official yet, so it's useless to give it to me. Once I become an official, these things will come in handy, and he will give them to me." Ye Ke spread his hands: "This is the only precious thing you mentioned. I didn't think what he said was false, so I didn't investigate further. Does this count?"
A hint of joy flashed in Ye Mei's eyes, and she said, "Okay."
"Then I'll find a way to steal it!" Ye Ke stood up immediately.
"No!" Ye Mei hurriedly stopped him. Seeing Ye Ke's suspicious look, he said, "Since I was the one who came up with this idea, I will definitely be the one to threaten him in the end, even if it's for you. But if you threaten him, he will be dissatisfied with you and will inevitably disobey you. Why don't I go and steal it, and then use this to threaten him. That way, in Ye Maocai's mind, you are completely unaware of it and still belong to him."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ke felt that what Ye Mei said was very good. He clapped his hands and said, "Sister, you are really thoughtful!" He looked at her gratefully and said, "Sister, you are so kind to me. When I become successful in the future, I will definitely not forget your kindness and will definitely repay you."
Ye Mei smiled slightly, her eyes fixed on Ye Ke, and then she spoke very kindly: "I'm waiting for you to repay me well."
After Ye Ke left, Ye Mei closed the door and his expression gradually darkened.
She had been thinking that during her time at the Ye family, she had not gotten what she wanted. On the contrary, she had been schemed and exploited by Ye Maocai. She even had to sacrifice her body and give herself to someone like Jin Xingming in order to escape from the Ye family. No matter how she looked at it, this deal was not worth it.
And Ye Mei never does unprofitable business.
Now the Ye family is going to be in trouble. Before the Ye family gets into trouble, she must leave and jump out of the Ye family's ship, otherwise she will be tied up and sink with the Ye family.
But before sinking, she always had to take something back from the Ye family to compensate for what she lost.
Since Jin Xingming is going to Mingqi, one day she will be able to climb up to the nobles of Mingqi and reach the peak of power in Mingqi, where she can make things happen with a wave of her hand. That is the life she wants.
As the prime minister of Daliang, the Ye family must have some secrets hidden in the prime minister's mansion, and these secrets are closely related to Daliang.
No country will shut its door to the secrets of other countries.
This secret is the result of Ye Maocai's hard work, and is also her stepping stone to the residence of Mingqi Guiren.
This thing is what can make up for everything she lost in the Ye family. Now think about it, what exactly did she lose in the Ye family?
The power of freedom, forced commitment, and a stupid younger brother.
