However, the old Ye and He Shi noticed right away that Ye Jiu showed no particular expression on his face.
It was clear that this was not normal.
The downfall of an enemy was a mont to be happy about, yet their treasure was not happy at the mont.
He Shi quietly glared at her two sons, rendering them utterly confused, but they didn’t dare to speak again and silently shut their mouths.
"My dear child, what’s wrong, are you not feeling well?" He Shi carefully asked Ye Jiu.
He Shi was aware of the relationship between Ye Jiu and the Prince Consort, but she didn’t know that by blood, the Liu Family was also Ye Jiu’s maternal family.
However, the one who could distract Ye Jiu so was naturally not the Liu Family, she was just wondering, if the Liu Family fell, what about the Princess Consort?
Towards this woman, she truly harbored hate and bla, but based on the few encounters, Ye Jiu felt she was genuinely pitiable.
She was a woman prone to vulnerability, lacking in confidence, her heart filled with inferiority. Regarding the child-switching, she might have truly acted impulsively, without foreseeing the severe consequences.
However, no matter what, he had indeed suffered injustice because of her.
But to say he really hated her, it sohow didn’t quite add up.
After all, Ye Jiu’s feelings towards this woman were complex.
He wanted to hate her, yet found he hadn’t reached that point; he wanted to forgive, but precisely because of her impulsive act, he had suffered so much.
Seeing Ye Jiu did not respond to her question, but instead was lost in his wandering thoughts, He Shi couldn’t help but increase the urgency in her voice and reached out to pull on Ye Jiu, asking again, "Xiaojiu, what’s the matter with you?"
"Huh?" Ye Jiu snapped back from his distant thoughts and looked at He Shi, asking, "What is it, mother, what do you need from ?"
"I see you’re distracted today; are you feeling unwell?" He Shi repeated.
"No, I was just thinking about other things. What were elder brother and second brother saying? Continue," Ye Jiu replied.
"It’s nothing much, really. Whether the Liu Family falls or not doesn’t matter much to us. I was just thinking if we can continue making soap!" Ye Gaoshi hesitated.
Following that, Ye Gaoshui also chid in, "Yeah, it would be great if we could continue making soap. At least we would have an inco. We can’t keep depleting our savings like this; it’s not a solution!"
Ye Gaoshui was rely venting, but as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly rembered they were in front of their parents, and his words seed to imply bla towards his fourth brother for losing the soap recipe.
Luckily, their parents were focused on their little sister, and since she wasn’t upset, he felt relieved.
Originally, Zhao Shi had ntioned taking goods from the workshop to make money in other places, but he was just a country bumpkin, whose farthest trip was to find his younger sister, and even then, he barely made it back ho.
The family wasn’t in such dire straits that they couldn’t survive, and with the money they had made before, they bought quite a bit of land. They wouldn’t be worse off than before they split the family assets, and Ye Gaoshui really didn’t want to take the risk, which is why he hadn’t agreed.
The third brother, on the other hand, was more daring and knowledgeable. After the new year, he took so goods from the workshop and left his wife and children behind to go out. But it had been almost a month with no word from him, which was worriso indeed!
At this mont, Ye Jiu really had no interest in discussing this matter and could only perfunctorily say, "Let’s talk about the soap another day. I still have so arrangents to make. So, Dad, Mom, I will head back first."
