She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

Wong Qiao of course would not think Ye Xinyan was just making her daily inspection by standing in front of him, after the thoughtless words his mother and great-uncle said yesterday, and his great-uncle noticing something was off with his demeanor this morning, he would surely have a word with Ye Zi.

But he really wasn’t in the mood to talk to anyone, not even for pleasantries, "I can’t leave this place, Our work is urgent, and everyone’s paperwork is interconnected, if I delay here, it all falls apart. Don’t worry, I won’t make mistakes on the job, we can talk in detail after the work is done."

Once the work was done, he would no longer be part of the Qi Family Construction Business, he could reluctantly stay a few days at his great-uncle’s place, pack his things, and after the tenth, he’d hit the road back to his ancestral home.

Jiang Yifan saw that Wong Qiao’s complexion was ashen, with dark circles under his eyes. Thinking about his mother, enduring sleepless nights and then rushing to work during the day. If things continued this way, he probably would collapse before the work was even finished.

Jiang Yifan stepped forward, plucked the brush from Wong Qiao’s hand, and then grabbed his arm, "Come on, sharpening your axe will not delay the cutting of wood. If you don’t speak out about what’s troubling you today, you’ll probably still be unable to sleep tonight. How long can you hold out like this? If it goes on, we might as well borrow a few clerks from Prince Yu’s Mansion right now to take over your tasks early."

Ye Xinyan also said, "Let’s go, we’ll talk over at the teahouse across the street. I’ll help you with your work."

Upon hearing Ye Xinyan say this, Jiang Yifan gave Wong Qiao a somewhat sour look, feeling conflicted about why he couldn’t understand construction. If he had even a slight understanding, he could extend a helping hand.

But Wong Qiao declined, "No need, Ye Zi, you are currently discussing marriage, it’s not good for you to be lingering outside all the time. We can finish these tasks, they won’t be delayed."
