Father was completely unguarded against the Second Branch, third wife and the others. Thinking about the similar Lady Wen, Ye Yuning couldn't help but have a headache.

Thinking about it carefully, Ye Yuning in her previous life was actually also like that, and it was no wonder that his whole family was plotted to such a state by the Second Branch and the third wife.

In reality, if Ye Yuning had not experienced these things, she would still only care about the most basic of emotions and would not think so much about interpersonal interactions.

Ye Yuning took a deep breath, and decided that she must change her father's mindset. Even if she couldn't, he had to at least let him clearly see the true appearances of these people.

With a set mind, Ye Yuning let go of this matter for the time being and changed the topic, "Father, how much can your store earn in a year? Who did you work with? Does Mother know? " Ye Yuning asked as she pulled him towards the guest room.

Ye Shenghe quickly tossed the matter of appraising the paintings to the back of his mind and carefully explained his way of making money to Ye Yuning.

Speaking of which, Ye Shenghe and Lady Wen were extremely talented in business, but unfortunately, the two of them were not thinking about this. Otherwise, if the Ye Family's business was given to the couple to manage, it could at least double in the past ten years.

Ye Yuning listened to Ye Shenghe's experience and was secretly shocked.

"Mother's workshop only earns a profit of a few thousand taels of silver a year. Father's shop earns over a thousand taels of silver a month!"

This was not to say that the business of the Han Bar was not as good as that of the Orchid Pavilion, but rather that it was selling common spices, so naturally it could not be easily sold for several hundred taels of silver.

As for the items in the Lanting Pavilion, if they met a good buyer, they could even sell them for several times the price. Although he only took half of the dividend, Ye Shenghe still received at least ten to twenty thousand silver coins every year.

Ye Yuning silently counted in her heart and could not help but ask: "Father, how much private silver have you saved these past few years? I have to tell mother when I get back! "

"Your mother already knew, why would she need you to inform her?" Ye Shenghe glared at her.

Seeing Ye Yuning pout her lips, Ye Shenghe's gaze turned soft. She understood Ye Yuning very well, her daughter. She had never had any schemes since she was young, and would not think too much about things.

"Foolish daughter, dad opened this shop and saved up all this money, isn't it all for the sake of giving you your dowry in the future? Money is easy to earn, but some rare treasures are hard to find. In ten years, Father has only saved a few dozen pieces. " Ye Shenghe shook his head and sighed, looking very depressed.

In the blink of an eye, her daughter had already grown up and was going to be married in two or three years.

When he thought of how he would marry into another's family and support his beloved daughter in the future, how he would be able to find a suitable husband to teach his son and serve his in-laws, Ye Shenghe felt extremely reluctant.

"Yu Ning, don't worry. When you get married, Father will definitely buy all 108 dowries for you!" When the time comes, let everyone see my, Ye Shenghe's, daughter getting married! " Ye Shenghe's words caused Ye Yuning's eyes to moisten.

When he was marrying in his previous life, his parents did not even see it, but Ye Yuning had always known what they were thinking.

Ye Yuning rolled up her sleeves to hide her tears and laughed, "Father, you are thinking too much. One hundred and eight taels, aren't you afraid that others will say that the Ye Family is rich?"

Ye Shenghe raised his eyebrow, his expression was exactly the same as Ye Yuning's.

"Just say it, I'm not afraid!" When a woman marries, the more she accompanied, the more confident she was. Especially since you don't have a brother, if in the future you suffer in your elder family, no one will be able to help you. " Ye Shenghe said lovingly.

Ye Yuning, however, was stunned.

It was indeed a great pity that she did not have a direct brother. It seemed like Father was also very clear that even though Ye Yuanjun was his son, it was unknown whether or not he could rely on him in the future.

Ye Yuning remembered very clearly that after her parents passed away in her previous life, Concubine Su had become the owner of the house, and the majority of her possessions had fallen into Concubine Su and her son's hands.

Ye Yuanjun was the only son of the eldest son, but he did not please his father at all. had groomed a silkpants, not only was he lazy to eat, he even ate and gambled with everything. Later on, he even shamelessly ran to the capital to ask Duke of Pingjiang for money, causing Ye Yuning to be laughed at by his wife and sister-in-law.

Towards Ye Yuanjun, Ye Yuning did not have the slightest bit of good impression. But unfortunately, right now, his father only had one son, and in the future, his wife would have to rely on him.

Lady Wen was thirty years old this year, and it wasn't impossible for her not to be born again. Ye Yuning had asked Yi Xin in private, but the answer she got made her feel helpless.

No matter if it was because Lady Wen had suffered a loss when she was giving birth to Ye Yuning, or because she had been secretly harmed later on, it was very difficult for her body to be pregnant now, and even if she were to be pregnant, it would be very difficult for her to give birth.

Actually, the best way was for Lady Wen to pick an honest maid and let her have her way. After giving birth to her son, she would carry him by her side and raise him up, so that he would remember her name. It was just that when she saw her parents being so fond of each other, Ye Yuning was really unable to open her mouth.

With a sigh to himself, Ye Yuning realised that he was more worried than the Old Mistress. She was obviously her daughter, but she still had to worry about her parents.

After a lifetime of living again, Ye Yuning saw clearly through the hearts of the people around him. Even though she knew a lot about the human world, he was still a woman.

He couldn't be like a man and help his father solve his problem. He had to shoulder the responsibility of inheriting the family business. With regards to his current plan, he could only think about it step by step, after settling the matter properly before him and then think about other things. Thinking about it would just be a waste of his mind, Ye Yuning was well aware of the principles behind it.

Now that he was still young, even if he was old and had to marry, he would still have three to four years to spare. In this period of time, no matter what he did, there wouldn't be too many restrictions. If he married someone, it would be even more difficult to manage the affairs of Ye's Mansion.

Therefore, there was still a lot of time left for Ye Yuning to take action. She had to let the aunt and sisters who were scheming take advantage of this opportunity.

Ye Yuning couldn't help but rub her face, putting aside these chaotic thoughts.

"Father, I don't want to return to the estate so early." Ye Yuning suddenly said, "Will you play chess with your daughter?"

"Great!" If Yu Ning wins, Father will agree to one of your requests. " Ye Shenghe gently nodded his head, found the Go board and chess pieces, and started playing chess with Ye Yuning in the inner hall.

In the entirety of today's time, Ye Shenghe would take it out to accompany this precious daughter of his, and no matter what request she made, Ye Shenghe would agree to them one by one.

As an official, he would use chess to kill time when he had free time. Now that Ye Yuning had agreed to help him, Ye Shenghe felt even more at ease. It was rare for the father and daughter pair to spend time together, no matter what they did, they all felt extremely comfortable.
