Chapter 35. Tong Yuyue comes to the rescue! (Please read and reward!)
Ye Bupo was angry because he saw his stupid son actually defending his opponent.
However, Liu Qingmei didn't want Ye Yutan to tell about this scandal and discredit the Ye family and herself.
Being scolded by the two elders at the same time, Ye Yutan, who had mustered up his courage, immediately stopped, hung his head and shrank to the side.
Tong Yuyue, who was standing behind Liu Qingmei, looked at Ye Yutan deeply, with a hint of admiration and doubt in his eyes.
This kid is interesting!
At this time.
The elder of the second clan, Ye Boqiu, spoke.
"Now that almost all of the Ye family's businesses have turned against us and we have no more money coming in, what are you going to do?"
Ye Boqiu looked at Liu Qingmei and asked her about her plans.
In fact, this model should be changed.
You can't think highly of yourself just because you are a martial arts family. You can't think that you can sit back and relax just by handing over your property to your clansmen. In fact, there are many disadvantages.
Not to mention Ye Bonan’s betrayal.
In fact, how much income the Ye family earns from their business every year is decided by others.
This is true for almost all aristocratic clans in the martial arts world, but who could have thought that family members would harbor betrayal!
The sudden question from the second elder made Liu Qingmei a little stunned.
It wasn't until Tong Yuyue tugged at her dress that she reacted.
"Old Hui, at the moment... I don't have any good ideas."
Liu Qingmei looked a little embarrassed, but still told the truth.
She doesn't understand business, let alone management, so how can she make any plans?
If it wasn't for her husband, whoever wants to clean up this mess can do so. She doesn't have the leisure to do so!
But then again, if it wasn't for her husband, why would she have to endure so much and endure the criticism from others?
Hearing this, Ye Boqiu frowned.
The three elders chatted with each other for a while.
After a moment, Ye Boqiu looked at everyone in the hall and said, "How about this..."
But before he could finish his words, Tong Yuyue, who had been hiding behind Liu Qingmei, suddenly raised her hand and interrupted nervously, "Dear elders, uncles, I have a way..."
Logically speaking, as a concubine, she had no right to speak in such a situation.
But after all, she is the concubine of the owner of the manor, Ye Bufan.
Therefore, Ye Boqiu stopped talking, nodded to her, and motioned her to continue.
"All the elders should know that I am of humble origin, but my father and brother have turned from evil to good over the years and have accumulated a considerable fortune in the business world. I have lived here for a long time and am already a member of the Ye family. Now that the Ye family is in trouble, we should overcome the difficulties together. If... if necessary, I can write a letter to inform my father and brother and try to make a small contribution. I wonder if the elders of the clan can agree?"
Tong Yuyue looked a little nervous. After she finished speaking, she opened her beautiful eyes wide and looked at the elders eagerly.
"Well... Tong's suggestion is not a bad idea. Tong is virtuous and works together with Liu, so she deserves to be rewarded. When the owner of the manor wakes up, I will report everything here one by one. So let's leave it at that for now. Liu, Tong, thank you for your hard work!"
The three elders negotiated for a while, and finally the second elder, Ye Boqiu, came forward to agree.
"Thank you, elder. This is what we deserve!"
Liu Qingmei and Tong Yuyue said in unison.
……
Wait until everyone leaves.
Liu Qingmei looked at Tong Yuyue and said, "Sister, you have good intentions, but have you discussed this with your father? Do they agree?"
At first, she thought that Tong Yuyue was working with Ye Bupo and others to force her to hand over power.
Now it seems that I was judging others by my own mean-spirited mind.
Obviously, Tong Yuyue is also a smart person and knows the principle that when one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer.
After all, we are all one family.
"Don't worry, sister. Although my father and brother have done well in the past few years, they have long intended to cooperate with the Ye family. After all... you know that my family is from the mountains and bandits. If it weren't for my husband's mercy, we wouldn't be here today. I'm afraid we would have been wiped out by the imperial army or some underworld forces..."
"My father and brother are always grateful, but in the past, they were worried that their influence would not count and their strength was weak, and they were afraid that they would not be favored by the Ye family, so they suppressed this idea." Tong Yuyue chuckled and explained softly.
"So that's how it is. Thank you in advance, sister." Liu Qingmei suddenly realized.
She knew that if Tong Yuyue had not spoken up in time to rescue her, the unfinished words of the second clan elder Ye Boqiu would have been for her to hand over her power.
The third and fourth clan elders are all relatives of Ye Buwang and Ye Bupo, so they naturally prefer them brothers.
While the two clan elders seemed dissatisfied, they were actually giving themselves some advice in secret.
Tong Yuyue used the foundation created by her father and brother to preserve her own power, and she will always remember this kindness.
of course.
Tong Yuyue did this to protect herself.
After all, if she lost her power, her life as a concubine would be even more difficult.
As for her father and brother...I'm afraid they need the Ye family as a backer, so they want to cooperate deeply with the Ye family.
After all, this is just a game of exchanging interests.
Tong Yuyue waved her hands hastily: "Sister, you are too polite. We are all family, why should I thank you?"
Liu Qingmei smiled and said, "It just so happens that Li Qingxiao from the Demon Sealing Sword Sect came to compete a few days ago and gave us a river route in the Hanjiang River Basin. Perhaps it can be used in our trade with your father."
Tong Yuyue's eyes lit up, and she said immediately, "That's great. My father and brother seem to be struggling to find a shipping route to make a living. In the past, they used land transportation, which was time-consuming and laborious, and the amount of goods transported at a time was very small. If we have this shipping route, things will be much easier."
Tong Yuyue couldn't wait to ask: "Sister, I wonder if the route has been obtained?"
Liu Qingmei was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "I haven't heard back yet. I asked Zhien to do this, but I don't know what the result is. I'll send someone to ask him."
"Okay, sister, you have worked hard and I can't help much. If there is anything you need, just let me know." Tong Yuyue said with a smile.
"There are so many disciples in the villa, there is no need for you to run errands. Just stay at home and take care of your husband." Liu Qingmei smiled.
The two chatted for a while, then said goodbye and left.
Liu Qingmei immediately went to find Feng Zhien and asked whether the route had been transferred over.
The news we got was not ideal.
The route was handed over.
But the actual right to use it was not obtained.
Now, a group of Ye family ships transporting goods are stuck at the north port of Xizi Lake.
Speaking of which, this batch of goods was purchased by Ye Bonan from the Zhou Kingdom. The materials were worth 50,000 taels. At the beginning, he paid to use another route.
Later, when the route came into the hands of the Ye family, they sent pigeons to ask the fleet to change the route, which could also save some costs.
If he had waited a few days until the route problem was resolved and then defected from the Ye family, the goods would not have reached the Ye family.
……
Two days passed.
During the past two days, Ning Mu not only practiced martial arts with Chun Zhi and Xia Chan, but also taught Ning Xiaoxiu.
This day.
When Chunzhi brought food to Ning Xiaoxiu, Ning Mu also followed.
Meet Ning Mu.
Ning Xiaoxiu immediately came forward on her own initiative.
"Master, I already know how to do it."
Faced with her expectations and eagerness to try, Ning Mu remained unmoved.
