Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the chaos, Madam Ye was already packing up her things.

She originally had a trace ot hope tor Ye Maocai, but she was disappointed to find that she was not included in his escape plan from the beginning to the end. Husband and wife were on the same boat, but Ye Maocai decided to push her off the boat. Ye Maocai did not care about their relationship as husband and wife, so she would pretend she did not have a husband.

She searched the room seriously for banknotes and jewelry that she could take away and tried her best to pack up light clothes. She could not sit back and do nothing.

At this moment, Ye Mei and Ye Ke were the same.

Ye Ke paced back and forth in the room, his eyes filled with anxiety. From time to time, he asked Ye Mei, “Sister, do you think this is true? Is the Ye family really going to be finished? How is this possible? There were no signs of this happening at all. Perhaps the emperor invited Father to the palace just for some court matters. It’s not what we think.”

Ye Mei packed some banknotes. A few days ago, she had already pawned the jewelry for banknotes that could be exchanged for money in all the banks in the Daliang Dynasty. Banknotes were easy to carry, and they were indispensable. She said, “Are you still deceiving yourself? If the emperor just wanted to talk about the court affairs, why did he send so many guards to take Ye Maocai away?”

“But there was no sign at all!” Ye Ke still refused to believe Ye Mei.

“You just didn’t notice it.”

Ye Ke widened his eyes and stared at Ye Mei in disbelief. “What do you mean, Sister? Did you already know? Since you already knew, why didn’t you tell me?”

“I’m just guessing. I don’t have any evidence. If I tell you, will you believe me?” Ye Mei sneered in her heart, but on the surface, she said gently, “Besides, I’ll plan things well. You’re my brother after all. Now that the Ye family is in trouble, we can’t let them implicate us. We have to find a chance to escape. I’ll bring you along.”

Ye Ke looked indignant. “I originally thought that staying in the Ye family was the best choice, but I didn’t expect that not only would I not get an official position, but I would also have to escape like a stray dog. It might be better If I didn’t follow the Ye family to Long Ye when I was in Qinzhou.”

“That’s not necessarily the case.” Ye Mei put away all the banknotes. Then, she said, “Keeping ourselves alive is the most important thing. Don’t wait here. Go to your room and pack up all your valuable things. These things can be used when we are escaping.”

Ye Ke moved his lips, but in the end, he did not say anything. He lowered his head and walked out of Ye Mei’s room.

After he left, Ye Mei stood up. A trace of gloom flashed across her eyes. She paused for a moment before quietly leaving the room.

She walked towards Ye Maocai’s study.

The door of Ye Maocai’s study was closed. Usually, only Ye Ke and Madam Ye would enter the study. However, Ye Maocai was a cautious person. If he really wanted to hide something, he probably wouldn’t hide it in a place like the study. However, the more dangerous a place was, the safer it was. Ye Maocai might do the opposite and deliberately put it in the study to confuse people..
