She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

Yin Xiaocheng nodded subconsciously as he listened to Ye Xinyan lay out her plan, exchanging a glance with the Marquis Zhongyong. When they had heard that Ye Xinyan had returned, and was even accompanied by two children of the Qi family, Yin Xiaocheng and his son had speculated.

According to Zhao Gang’s description of the current Ye Xinyan, the most likely possibility is that she still intends to return, and having the two children from the Qi family with her gives her, as Qi Ye, a more sufficient reason to go back.

Marquis Zhongyong, thinking of Duke An’s temperament, asked Ye Xinyan, "Have you discussed this plan with your grandfather?"

Ye Xinyan replied, "I mentioned it. Elder Master Ye didn’t say yes or no, he just put me off by saying we’d talk about it later."

Marquis Zhongyong chuckled, finding Elder Master Ye amusing for putting her off with such words. What does ’later’ mean? How long is ’later’?

Yin Xiaocheng laughed and said, "Did you ask when your grandfather’s ’later’ would be? Perhaps the Duke is thinking of delaying you for a while, hoping that over time, your desire to leave will fade, and you won’t bring up the matter again."

Ye Xinyan paused for a moment and explained, "I am employed by His Highness Prince Yu as a steward, and the terms of restriction are clearly written in the employment contract, which is not easy to delay. I think Elder Master Ye doesn’t mean that, he probably wants to wait until the railway project is operating normally before making a decision."

"Railway project, which railway project?" Marquis Zhongyong immediately sat up straight and asked seriously, "Could it be those messy digs in the capital city?"
