She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

Ye Xinyan’s hands were finally free of pressing matters, and she began to find the time to pay attention to the small snack shop.

Ever since Lian Gui led people to kick out the servants of the Liang Residence, there had been no peace for the snack shop, with disruptions every few days. People weren’t afraid of being detained, causing a scene and then calmly being taken away by the Yamen’s officers.

The troublemakers were clearly reckless roughnecks; as long as they were paid silver, they would do anything, whether it meant cracking heads, breaking legs, or stabbing themselves. After such rowdy scenes, the snack shop would go days without customers, let alone the frequent disruptions.

Upon hearing the news, Ye Xinyan initially told Nanny Jin and Lian Gui, "Don’t bother with it; even if our snack shop doesn’t do business, we still have the income from the Great Crane House. The Liang family has silver, don’t they? Let them keep throwing it in forcefully; it would be best if they could keep it up for a year or maybe half. It will save us from the Liang family’s excessive wealth in this small county town."

Ye Xinyan was quite at ease, as her milk used for fermentation was running low. She took the opportunity to save up more, to make soft cheese that could be further fermented. Perhaps, she could create a variety of fermented cheeses. When used as a high-end ingredient, sliced or grated, for various dishes, bakes, and beverages, that bright future could be built upon the silver of the Liang family.

Lian Gui was surprised by Ye Xinyan’s reaction. Even the temperamental young lady, who had endured hard times and changed her nature, showed such calmness in the face of this infuriating situation—it was completely unexpected and shocking.

Jiang Yifan also held the same attitude towards the Liang family’s actions. Since the Liang family was wealthy, he let them spend their money. He didn’t even bother to try the detained; he instructed the junior officials in charge of criminal cases at the Yamen to verify the names and lock up the criminals in prison without further questioning.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yifan relayed messages to the Qi family, urging them to be patient and not to act rashly; at the same time, he systematically uncovered the external relations of the prisoners being brought in, waiting for Liang Qiyuan’s next move.
