Chapter 554 - 552 A thankless task
Ye Xinyan paused, she sent craftsmen to the capital and must consider everything thoroughly, including keeping them out of the Crown Prince’s succession struggle. And even if there was nothing serious, the opportunity for these local craftsmen to visit the capital was something greatly envied. For several key members to take a tour in the capital, wasn’t that just like the Mechanical Workshop providing a benefit for model workers? What was wrong with that?
However, judging from Jiang Yifan’s expression, it seemed like sending many people to the capital was a preposterous thing to do, but Jiang Yifan was generous enough to indulge it... What was this about? Indeed, it was impossible to reason with or communicate with ancient people.
"No, how could Lord Jiang say something wrong?" Forget it, if it can’t be explained clearly, then don’t explain it. Ye Xinyan changed the subject and said, "Does Lord Jiang have anything else? If not, this humble wife will take her leave to arrange who will go to the capital."
"Additionally," Jiang Yifan hurriedly said, "a month ago, the concubine, Maternal Aunt Zhao, borne a son to your father, and Duke An named the child Ye Yuan. It is said that this child will be registered under the name of the wife of the heir apparent. Sixth Master estimates that Duke An will surely urge the wife of the heir apparent to return to the capital."
Ye Xinyan’s expression became somewhat solemn. Even without Maternal Aunt Zhao’s child, Madam Yin had to return to the capital. However, Madam Yin was only in her late thirties, and Ye Xinyan couldn’t just watch as Madam Yin used up her whole life on scum like Ye Hongyang. The matter of registering the name, she guessed, would disappoint Duke An.
If she accompanied Madam Yin back to the capital, should she leave Qi Younian and Qi Jiaer in Clear Water Village? She couldn’t let go of either.
Jiang Yifan softly said, "I’ve just discussed with Old Master Qi and suggested he try to develop the Construction Industry in the capital. Old Master Qi has already agreed to consider it."
"Ah? My grandpa agreed to go to the capital?" Ye Xinyan looked up.
