Chapter 119 - 118 Ye Xinyan is Harmless Now
Ye Xinyan was pondering the tasks that lay ahead, while Liu Qing, with a curious mood, took Ye Xinyan’s two documents and returned to His Highness Prince Yu to report.
Jinrong did not express surprise or astonishment at the documents issued by Ye Xinyan like Liu Qing did. He didn’t examine the two documents in detail, but simply listened to a brief account of the situation and the content of the documents from Liu Qing.
Jinrong asked, "You have been a steward for many years, in your opinion, is Lady Qi’s preparation for the cattle farm reasonable? Is there a possibility of success?"
After a moment of thought, Liu Qing reported truthfully, "Replying to Sixth Master, although I have never dealt with livestock breeding, looking at Lady Qi’s document... it seems thorough and prudent. It appears that Lady Qi has also never engaged in this business, and although the document is already very detailed, the cattle farm should still start on a small scale, stabilize it, and then gradually expand. I think it’s feasible."
As Jinrong listened, he unconsciously nodded. Of course, Ye Xinyan had never dealt with animal husbandry; in fact, she hadn’t done anything before and was still leading her family to earn money for their livelihood. This was precisely the aspect that perplexed Jinrong - could a major life change truly transform someone’s character and intellect so drastically?
"It’s just that..." Liu Qing didn’t know what his lord had in mind for Lady Qi and hesitated whether to continue.
"Just what?" Jinrong asked.
With gritted teeth, Liu Qing said, "I did not examine Lady Qi’s own document in detail; however, if it’s as Lady Qi says, and she doesn’t allow you, Sixth Master, to intervene in the daily affairs of the cattle farm, that seems somewhat inappropriate." His tone was already very implicit, it wasn’t just inappropriate—it was downright ignorant arrogance.
