Ye Haohuan had a problem that initially Ye Shiqi only asked him to buy slaves and hadn’t thought too much about it! Newest update provıded by novelFɪre.net
However, Ye Haohuan’s problem didn’t stump her.
During her observations these past two days, she had realized that cosmetics could be made here!
Thus, setting up a cosmetics production base required people to do the work!
Purchasing people to do these tasks simply meant having more individuals to cooperate with!
Ye Shiqi thought as long as there was money to be made, and not too much risk involved, why not do it?
"Young Master Ye, as long as you purchase these people and settle them properly, we can collaborate on some business. How to cooperate? That will depend on your sincerity!"
When Ye Haohuan heard the confident words of the young girl in front of him, he became even more curious; she brought too many interesting matters to his attention!
He was also thinking about how to unearth this little girl’s secrets!
Ye Haohuan signaled his guards with a look, instructing two of them to go take care of the matter!
They were to purchase these people, rent a house here to settle them first, providing them with food, necessities, and clothing!
With such arrangements, Ye Haohuan had been considered very thorough; his guards didn’t understand why the Princely Heir would be so foolishly generous?
They too harbored a small unwillingness within, but as servants, they could not defy their master’s commands.
It seemed that ever since their Princely Heir met this little lady from the Ye family, he had become, in the eyes of others, a lovable fool!
In the discussions of others, his subordinates once felt unconvinced, secretly disputing with members of other Princes’ entourages and meeting their critical gazes.
But it was ultimately the Princely Heir’s tolerance that forced them to submit; since meeting this lady, he was like a man destined to fill holes!
No matter how many pits she dug, their Princely Heir would happily fill them!
Ye Haohuan, considered as a pit-filler by his guard, gave the order and set off to carry it out. They went to the place where slaves were sold, discussing purchases with menacing-looking individuals.
Ye Haohuan glanced over at Ye Shiqi with peach blossom eyes, his gaze projecting arrogance: "Are the actions of this young master to your satisfaction?"
For Ye Shiqi, Ye Haohuan’s playful, peach blossom eyes and seductive look didn’t affect her because she wasn’t mature enough to be moved but because she didn’t feel any romantic passion for Haoxuan!
She allowed herself to scream internally: "The charm of you men is in my eyes no more than cow dung!"
Ye Shiqi, perhaps having not fallen in love in her last two lives, might have a weaker EQ; people in ancient times matured early, and at her age, she would not be moved by a man nearly ten years her senior!
If there really was a girl as young as her who showed an interest in men, then truly...
Ye Shiqi had never any opinion about early maturing girls in ancient times.
However, she hadn’t married or had children in her twenties, and now, at this younger age, she was even more reserved, with no judgment.
Ye Shiqi had no passionate need for Ye Haohuan and could face him so calmly, if not to play him, then whom?
Who had him shamelessly flaunting himself before her all this time?
The look Ye Shiqi returned to Ye Haohuan communicated: "Passable for now, and so far your performance is acceptable!"
Ye Haohuan received Ye Shiqi’s response and had no illusions that this girl would foolishly be grateful to him!
In his view, it was nothing more than lifting a finger.
The woman before him was not incapable of such acts; she was deep and unassuming, beyond his ability to fathom!
As for what kind of benefits this woman could bring him?
At present, he truly wasn’t too concerned about that, at his age, he had money to splurge!
When it came to helping others, he had the capacity to do so!
If Ye Shiqi did not seek his help, he might still be moved by compassion!
Among those people, Ye Haohuan saw several ministers from the court, some of whom he had met before!
Why had these people become criminals, been exiled to lands outside the border, and why had someone sold them as female slaves?
They were whipped and mistreated so severely; surely, someone must be pulling strings from behind the scenes, far from the Emperor’s reach!
In the past, Ye Haohuan hadn’t cared much about people who had committed crimes, especially if they weren’t from his own team; after all, he had just started serving at the side of Prince Thirteen, and his thoughts were naive, his team not yet strong!
As for which teams those people were from and why they committed crimes, they had not paid attention over the years.
Now, seeing these few individuals, although they were from another team and insignificant, elicited his high regard!
Some of them might be scapegoats, pawns of the ambitious, or simply caught up in factional disputes, offending certain powerful figures, turning minor issues into serious crimes, steeped in possible miscarriages of justice.
Ye Haohuan had saved these people, but wouldn’t immediately arrange for their return to the capital, since they were convicted; here, they could only be as—
As the young girl had said, useful, like for labor, providing them with a place to eat and live without the hellish treatment they were currently enduring!
Ye Haohuan, in a short time upon accepting this woman’s request to spend money on slaves, seemed generous and lavish, which looked like a prodigal act!
But in fact, he had thought through many issues very cautiously!
A voice within Ye Haohuan urged him to uncover the person manipulating this affair from behind the scenes!
The people behind these individuals might just be the enemies of their team!
Ye Shiqi had lost interest in anything else at the market, so she gave Housekeeper Ye a look, asking him to leave two guards behind to help, to assist these two guards with the arrangement of the slaves they had purchased!
Housekeeper Ye nodded, handing the matter over to the leader by his side, letting him cooperate with their men and the two guards to settle the purchased slaves—it wasn’t just as simple as buying houses and providing food and drink!
Their liaisons were in this area, of course, there would be private residences, more secluded and unsuitable for these slaves to live in!
The slaves’ current status was transparent; they must openly buy houses to live in and be provided with suitable jobs!
Ye Shiqi, contemplating their proximity to the border, led the maids and Housekeeper Ye, and these people to their carriages, the team of horses!
Ye Haohuan followed without a word; this time his arrival here was an unconditional follow—
Regardless of whether the young girl before him welcomed him or not?
He must go to the borderlands to visit General Ye, to see for himself, and convey what he sees back to Prince Thirteen when he returns!
Having already thought of joining the Ye family as a team, of course, he needed General Ye’s support!
The support of this young girl was one thing, but the military power of the Ye family’s great army lay in the hands of the General!
