Chapter 432 - 430: The Prince is Still Carefree
Duke An smiled contentedly, "When a person has sufficient ability, they naturally earn the respect of others. If you were still the disappointing figure of before, would I, an old man of Duke An’s household, still so cautiously inquire whether you’re willing to return home?" A single rope could have dragged you back.
No, these words must not be said. The young girl now has ability and a powerful backer, currently the focus of attention from many forces, indeed a difficult one to provoke.
...
Duke An wasn’t wrong. Many people knew, the deceased Miss Ye of Duke An’s Mansion had assumed a new name, pretending to be a common woman, and returned to the capital. Although everyone was extremely shocked at Duke An’s disregard for face and Miss Ye’s bold and reckless actions, Miss Ye actually went to work on the construction site of the railway that Prince Yu had undertaken.
Elder Master Ye, don’t you want to clarify how someone whose age and appearance so closely match the announced deceased Miss Ye from the Duke’s Mansion, using the servants of Miss Ye, could emerge so openly and unmasked before the eyes of many in the capital?
Elder Master Ye, this action of yours... lacks finesse, doesn’t it show too little consideration for us dignitaries of the capital?
What was even more jaw-dropping was that Miss Ye truly knew how to get things done, and it was the kind of task with great difficulty.
Miss Ye quietly went to work for a day, while everyone was still wondering what Miss Ye could possibly accomplish, not only did the construction on Changping Street undertaken by Prince Yu become more active, starting to tidy up the railway’s surroundings. But also, the previously depressed and desolate construction site, which had been languishing for so long that even businessmen undertaking the railway carriage construction had nearly given up hope, suddenly became lively, the enthusiasm on the construction site skyrocketing like never before.
