Tang Weixing heard his wife’s niece’s question, glanced at the young Master, and honestly said, "Our young Master planned to co to the Capital City these past few days, he had so business here and arrived early, perhaps he was eager to see you all, and we apologize for visiting at night!"
Tang Shunyan also added apologetically, "Yes, we have intruded!"
Upon entering the door, Li Zhihao heard their conversation and said, "Hehe, we have honored guests, we are all family here, what intrusion is there to speak of!"
Li Anning also followed politely, "Young Master Tang visiting is certainly welco by the elder cousins, I was just worrying about not having any playmates!"
"Uncle, my young cousin is right, how can you say it’s an intrusion when you co!" Lady Ye Luoqi said with a laugh.
"Uncle, now that you’ve co to the Capital City, can our aunt bear to part with you?"
Third Sister Ye Xinqi teased her uncle as well.
"Not even a letter was sent before you ca, do our father and mother know!" Second Sister Ye i Qi inquired.
"Hehe, I will answer all three nieces’ questions at once. Our young Master was in a rush to leave, and there wasn’t ti to inform your father and mother, it will have to be decided and told later."
"Oh," the three sisters nodded.
Li Zhihao and Li Anning watched them talk with smiles on their faces.
While Tang Shunyan chatted with the housekeeper, they were relatives, bound to have many questions, topics, and greetings. His business was quite urgent, and it wasn’t only about this little matter of ti.
Tang Weixing continued, "Your aunt and your young cousins have all co to the Capital City, just like you, stationed here for now. When she has ti, your aunt will find you to play."
"So aunt and the young cousins are also here, co to our house tomorrow to play!"
Lady Ye Luoqi, currently waiting to be married, found it inconvenient to leave her house, especially since their sisters had been targeted, and they could welco guests but seldom went out, particularly to other people’s houses.
The sisters also faced difficulties since people had targeted them since their arrival; every family had been refused, which had already damaged others’ feelings. If they were to visit a particular house, it would beco evidence for others, and they didn’t know what trouble might arise afterward!
Tang Weixing didn’t know much of the details, but he understood that it was inconvenient for a young lady, especially one who was engaged, to leave the house.
"Okay, your aunt just arrived today and is just settling in, she should probably visit in a few days!"
The three sisters nodded, their gaze returning to Young Master Tang.
Being already young ladies, they were typically not expected to welco guests, and these were also closer relatives and friends, and there weren’t any parents present at ho, which made it inappropriate for them to let the housekeeper or uncle receive guests.
Their visit at night indicated they had so urgent business, not convenient for the dayti.
"Elder sisters, I brought gifts for you from the countryside this ti!"
Tang Shunyan, receiving the elder sisters’ gaze, said with a smile.
The three sisters had already seen the many gifts laid out in the living room.
"Young Master Tang, you are too kind, bringing so many gifts every ti, thank you!"
No sooner had Lady Ye Luoqi spoken than the other two younger sisters also expressed their thanks.
"We do not lack money, and it was convenient, we ca in a rush this ti, and didn’t bring much luggage. Have you heard any news from your younger sister?"
Tang Shunyan’s words made the sisters and the rest of the living room realize that his urgent trip to the Capital City was because he had heard that Ye Shiqi had left ho, and he was concerned for her safety.
"Young Master Tang, so you ca early for the sake of my younger sister, who hasn’t sent anyone to report whether it’s safe or not. However, no news is good news."
Lady Ye Luoqi’s expression turned worried. In fact, they were also anxious, but there was nothing they could do since they hadn’t received any news either.
The maid and the housekeepers had left and had not been heard from since, but according to the information gathered by Li Zhihao, although assassins had appeared and ambushed in many places, it seed they had failed.
It appeared that the maid and the housekeepers were safe, only that it wasn’t convenient to let others know their whereabouts. No news was the best news.
With the elder sister’s words, the expressions of worry on the other sisters’ faces were evident, and even though they couldn’t go out, they felt helpless and anxious to no avail.
Li Zhihao also sighed and said, "We haven’t received any news either and we are also anxious. A young girl going so far with them, we are worried but can’t stop it!"
Tang Shunyan nodded after listening. He knew Ye Shiqi’s character well; she was very opinionated, and sotis even her sisters would listen to her.
"Housekeeper, why don’t you go and explore it a bit? Arrange for tomorrow, send a batch of goods to Deep Blue Island, and on the return, we can transport so foreign goods."
Tang Weixing had already heard about the Family Head and Eldest Young Master’s arrangents, to support Young Master, if he wanted to engage in this kind of business, he had to get involved personally.
He even helped to open up a trade route as a channel for the young Master to try his hand in comrce. In this regard, with the token, he could make all the managers of Tang Family’s industries listen to him.
This was obtaining a great deal of power, and with such power, of course, he had to seize it well.
Being a man, although he couldn’t invest himself, he needed to use this opportunity to test his own worth.
"Young Master, what kind of goods do you want to transport? Or do you have any ideas, give a direction."
Tang Weixing asking for his opinion was actually a show of respect. Although he was young, he was still the young Master, and the housekeeper didn’t treat him as a child but as an adult, arranging matters for him, which was a form of respect for him as the young Master.
Tang Shunyan knew that their family managed too many businesses to transport goods to far-flung places.
As for what kind of goods could be transported quickly and securely, he hadn’t studied this much yet.
He turned his gaze to Li Zhihao and said, "I wonder what kind of goods my younger sister and that housekeeper are transporting this ti?"
He could think of the remote areas that were poorer, what kind of supplies they needed, especially what was needed in the military?
Li Zhihao pondered for a mont and said, "This ti, they are transporting dicines, blankets, fabrics, and food, which are the most important."
Tang Shunyan nodded and said, "Housekeeper, then transport all food, rice, and flour."
Tang Weixing nodded, "OK, I will prepare tonight and set off early tomorrow."
"Good, if you find any information, no matter how far, send soone to bring the ssage back. If you can stay there longer, it’s even better; if he needs you, don’t rush back!"
The ’she’ Tang Shunyan ntioned, Tang Weixing understood, was referring to his niece.
"Also, send us a letter back," said Li Zhihao, the uncle who was also concerned and knew his nieces were worried too.
"Uncle, we’ve made so things these past few days, you can help take them too!"
Lady Ye Luoqi made her request.
"OK, if I can’t see my niece, I’ll send a letter to you wherever you are and also make a trip to the border!"
The promise spoken by Tang Weixing, Lady Ye Luoqi had her maid bring out what they had made.
