The Ye family was different from the Lu family. Lu Zhengchun was a general and had his own soldiers. Ye Maocai was a civil official with wide connections. But now, his connections had all collapsed with the fall of the Lu family. The Lu family had so many soldiers, but they were all wiped out by Emperor Yong Le, let alone the Ye family. He knew that Emperor Yong Le would definitely not be lenient to the Ye family and would definitely kill them all. On one hand, he was angry with the Lu family for being so arrogant back then, and on the other hand, he regretted his decision back then.

Ye Maocai started to prepare an escape plan. At the very least, he had to send

Ye Hongguang out. He was not in the mood to care about Ye Mei and Ye Ke, but Ye Hongguang was his only son. He had to leave a descendant for the Ye family.

While Ye Mao was busy, Ye Mei was also busy.

Today, she returned from the Sun mansion and had a good time with Jin

Xinming. Jin Xinming had already promised to take her away in three days.

Over the past few days, Ye Maocai had been much less strict with Ye Mei, not caring about where she went or who she saw. Not only was Ye Mei not happy because of this, but she also became more and more nervous. This was because Ye Maocai obviously couldn’t even protect himself now, so he did not have time to care about her. The Ye family was probably in for a calamity.

Although Ye Mei did not know what was going on, she vaguely felt that Ye Maocai was afraid. What could he be afraid of? Naturally, he was afraid of ending up like Lu Zhengchun.

On this day, she came back a little late. As soon as she entered the house, she saw Ye Ke looking around in her room, as if he was waiting for her.

Speaking of which, Ye Mei had not seen Ye Ke for a few days. Over the past few days, she had been planning to escape to Ming Qi with Jin Xinming. From the beginning, Ye Mei didn’t include Ye Ke in her escape plan.

Ye Mei would immediately abandon someone who she felt was useless and would only drag her down.

When Ye Ke saw her return, he asked, “Sister, where did you go? Why are you only back now?”

“Last time, Miss Sun asked me for a handkerchief. I just embroidered it yesterday and sent it to her today.”

Ye Ke complained, “You’re the daughter of the prime minister now. Why should the daughter of the Sun family order you around?”

Ye Mei ignored him and sat down at the side. Seeing that Ye Ke seemed to be anxious, she asked, “How have you been these days? Is Father still bringing you to see his colleagues?”

“Don’t mention it.” When Ye Ke heard this, he immediately said dejectedly, “I don’t know what he’s been busy with these past few days. When I asked him, he said that he had something to do. I’m very bored in the mansion.” He looked at Ye Mei. “Sister, when are you going to discuss entering the palace with Father? If you enter the palace and win the favor of the emperor, the emperor will also value me. My official career can also help you, right?”

Ye Mei sneered in her heart, but she did not show it on her face. She smiled and said, “We’re siblings, so I’ll naturally help you.” She pondered for a moment and said, “Speaking of which, your relationship with Father is closer than mine. Have you noticed anything special about Father these days?”

“Anything special?” Ye Ke was puzzled. “There’s nothing special about him.”

Seeing that he did not understand, Ye Mei put it another. “That’s not what I mean.. For example, do you know if Father has anything precious or secret that he doesn’t want others to know?”
