Chapter 191 - 190: What a Big Identity
Zhou Biyao calmed down, and Lady Qi was right. Lady Qi worked for His Highness Prince Yu, and if someone under Prince Yu’s command could be easily troubled and thereby suffer losses, what was the point of having such a noble title? If that were truly the case, she wouldn’t need to keep making trips back and forth.
Thinking of what Ye Xinyan had done, Zhou Biyao asked, "Sister also wants to know whether you have the ability to earn a large family fortune?"
Ye Xinyan smiled unabashedly, "Earning a large family fortune is a good thing that probably everyone wishes for."
"But people say that a woman who can earn a family fortune for the clan deserves the title of the Imperial Clan Matron," Zhou Biyao said, staring intently at Ye Xinyan.
Ye Xinyan laughed, "I am currently helping my grandfather with his affairs, and I dare not claim to be able to earn a family fortune on my own. Even if I am earning a family fortune, it is for the Qi family, for my younger brother. It will never be for any other family."
At this moment, Ye Xinyan was certain that Zhou Biyao must know about Jinrong’s identity. Her persistent pursuit to Clear Water Village and questioning her like this was likely because of Jinrong’s identity.
This was good; getting straight to the point indicated an open and straightforward character. Unlike her own cousin or the Liang family’s girl, who were preoccupied with admiring dandy men, yet put on such an affected air, acting as though they were so proper and refined; it was both annoying and despicable.
Zhou Biyao looked around the cramped room and considered the situation outside, feeling that it was really inappropriate to stubbornly linger here.
She asked Ye Xinyan, "The rooms being built to the east, they belong to your family, don’t they?"
"Yes," Ye Xinyan replied.
