Chapter 301 - 300: Information About the Capital
Jiang Yifan had just finished reading the letter Jinrong received from the capital and heard Jinrong ask his wife about it. He handed the reply back to him and said, "It’s nothing much, Nanny Jin treats Ye Zi like her master, naturally she can’t get to the point. I just told her that if one day Duke An takes a fancy to having her back, she certainly won’t be able to stop it."
"In the past, she had a chance to escape, but now who knows how many eyes are watching Qingyuan County and Clear Water Village, plus she has the Qi family’s grandfather and grandson to consider, so she can only obediently return. She has her own servants by her side, so even if she returns to the capital, she could still act more freely, which is better than being under the surveillance of people sent by Duke An and that Maternal Aunt Liu."
"Besides, as Sixth Master and the Qi family’s business grow bigger and bigger, she can’t stay cooped up at home living a mediocre life. She has to step out of the house eventually, and if she doesn’t have the servants of Sixth Master and Duke An’s Mansion, how could she possibly step out on her own? I asked her, does she really want to depend on others for the rest of her life?"
Jinrong asked in surprise, "That’s it? Just by saying these things, she listened?"
Jiang Yifan spread his hands and said, "Yes, just that."
Jinrong looked at Jiang Yifan resentfully, thinking that if it were so simple to persuade Ye Xinyan with just a few words, then his role as a persuader was too easy.
But what else could Jiang Yifan and Ye Xinyan have talked about? According to Nanny Liu and others, after their conversation that day, Ye Xinyan seemed quite displeased and appeared to be deeply troubled, which could really be due to various dissatisfactions and discomforts upon returning to Duke An’s Mansion.
"You’re quite cunning, planning to push aside the people I carefully selected with just a few words," Jinrong said, his expression quite skeptical.
