Shen Miao was silent for a long time before saying softly, “Thank you.” For someone to change a plan they had been preparing to carry out was not easy because they had to change everything that was related to this plan. It was troublesome and risky. However, Xie Jingxing was willing to do it for her and bear all the possible outcomes.

How lucky was she to meet such a person in this life?

Seeing that her expression was strange, Xie Jingxing hooked Shen Miao’s chin and made her look up. He clicked his tongue and said, “Well, if you really want to thank me, why don’t you repay me with your body?”

Shen Miao pushed him and scolded, “Stop being so cheeky. How do you plan to deal with the Ye family then?”

Xie Jingxing thought for a moment and said, “That’s not difficult. The Ye family is in cahoots with the Lu family. If something happens to the Lu family, the Ye family will be in trouble too. Aren’t you quite smart? Why can’t you even figure this out now?”

Shen Miao looked at him in shock. Xie Jingxing could make framing others sound so righteous. Those who did not know better would think that he was saving people. Moreover, framing the prime minister of a country was not such a simple thing.

“The Ye family is actually easier to deal with than the Lu family. The Ye family only has a wide connection in the imperial court. However, once the Lu family is in trouble and the Ye family is implicated, as long as those civil officials are not fools, they will cut ties with the Ye family. All these years, the two trusted aides left behind by Emperor Xiaowu are actually not as powerful as they used to be.”

Shen Miao thought for a moment and said, “It’s not that their strength is being worn down, but that your strength has already increased to the point where you don’t have to fear them.”

The young beast had finally grown into the king of beasts, so it was time to deal with the wolves in the forest one by one.

Xie Jingxing looked at her and teased, “Do you admire me so much?”

Shen Miao said expressionlessly, “Whatever you say.”

“In order to thank you for admiring me, I have to serve you well,” Xie Jingxing said solemnly. He turned around and pressed Shen Miao under him.

Shen Miao was speechless.

At the Ye mansion.

Ye Mei and Ye Ke were talking in the room.

Ye Maocai prided himself on being a scholar, so the furnishings in the room were naturally elegant. However, on closer look, those paintings and calligraphy were all treasures of famous artists. Even the paperweight on the table was worth a lot. It could be seen that the Ye family was indeed rich.

There were exquisite pastries on the table.

Ye Mei was wearing a bright yellow dress. This dress was top-notch in both material and workmanship. She was born outstanding, and with this dress, even the nobles in the palace were inferior to her.

Ye Ke sat opposite her. His clothes were as simple as before, but the fabric was on a different level. Clearly, in the Ye family, the siblings were doing quite well.

“Sister, what do you mean by that?” Ye Ke asked with a frown.

Ye Mei picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. She said indifferently, “Previously, when Madam Ye was looking for her daughter, she insisted that I was her daughter. It happened too quickly, and we don’t know if it’s true or not. However, she at least found a good place for us to stay. After Father and Mother died, we could no longer run the shop. Moreover, it’s much better to be an official’s children than a merchant’s children. With Prime Minister Ye as your father, your official career will be smoother..”
