After he finished speaking, Si Rong realized that he had said too much today, and what’s more, he had somehow strayed from the original direction he intended to discuss.
Moreover, his purpose for coming over today was to talk business, not to chat about gossip.
Thus, Si Rong got back to the point, "Anyways, this is the situation, with the fall of the Liu Family, all their shops are in disarray. Dongyue is now facing a huge gap in the rouge and face powder market, which is an opportunity for us to squeeze in. However, if Miss Ye could provide more products, that would be even better."
Seeing that Ye Jiujiu didn’t say a word for a long time, and it wasn’t quite the response Si Rong had anticipated, "Does Miss Ye have any doubts, or do you not trust me?"
As he spoke, Si Rong added, "Even if Miss Ye doesn’t trust me, you can’t mistrust our Prince. After all, I work for the Prince, and now that Miss Ye is supplying rations for hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the frontier, I, Si Rong, wouldn’t dare to joke with Miss Ye even if I had the audacity."
"Guard Si Rong jokes, I just always thought that Guard Si Rong was someone by War King’s side, I didn’t expect you to be involved in business as well," Ye Jiu hurriedly explained herself.
Si Rong chuckled, "This, Miss Ye probably isn’t aware, although there are many capable people by the Prince’s side, we each have different responsibilities. Like Si Nan and Si Bei, mainly protecting and handling miscellaneous tasks for the Prince, while I am in charge of all the financial matters for the War Prince Residence and managing some of the estate’s businesses. There’s also the leader of the Hidden Guards, Si Ye, who rarely shows himself; I suppose Miss Ye hasn’t met him yet."
Only then did Ye Jiu nod her head, finally understanding.
"So what does Miss Ye think of my proposal?" Si Rong asked again.
Ye Jiu shrugged, "It’s not about what I think, I’m doing quite well as it is now, and I’m not planning to make any changes for the time being."
The situation now was no longer just about making the Liu Family pay.
A slight misstep could lead to many lives lost, and Ye Jiu had to choose cautiously.
Si Rong didn’t press the matter, "If that’s the case, then I won’t persist. If Miss Ye changes her mind, you can find me anytime. I will take my leave now, then."
Ye Jiu nodded, without any attempt to keep him there.
After Si Rong left, Ye Jiu lay back on the kang bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time.
The great Liu Family had just collapsed like that?
Ye Jiu still found it unbelievable!
At the same time, she became more afraid of this era in her heart.
In this world, the mistake of one person could lead to the punishment of the entire clan.
On this matter, the wrongdoer was clearly the Princess Consort, just a married girl, yet she could implicate her whole family, dragging them down with her, which indeed was quite shocking.
In the early morning, Ye Bai folded his wings and walked in from outside. Only after entering the room did he change back into a human in front of Ye Jiu.
Ye Jiu looked at him disapprovingly, "In the future, don’t keep changing back and forth , this isn’t the Beastman World. If someone sees you, they’ll capture you and burn you at the stake thinking you’re a monster."
"I know, I’ll be careful," Ye Bai replied.
As she spoke, Ye Jiu looked at Ye Bai’s tall frame with a youthful face, and out of curiosity, she asked, "Ye Bai, just how old are you really?"
Cha Mingming called him an eagle baby, but looking at the robust young man in front of her, nearly two meters tall, Ye Jiu couldn’t see how he could be a baby!
