Ye Zhi greeted kindly, "Ling Que, what are you here looking for Xiao Chen for?"

She swore she had no suspicion of the Little Traitor and Vermilion Bird, just a bit curious about the Investigation Factory, so she asked.

Before her emerged Qin Yin, casting her a disdainful glance: Again doubting my master...

Behind him followed Peng Ran and Guo Hao.

It had been a long time since she saw these two lively characters, Ye Zhi smiled and said, "Peng Ran, Guo Hao, you’re here too, have you finished the discussion?"

The two nodded solemnly.

When Ye Zhi first met them, they talked quite a lot, why have they become quieter now? Even more serious. Ling Que is the same, she must ask later.

She stepped past the Four Symbols and walked straight into the courtyard.

The figures of the master and servants gradually disappeared.

With no others around, Qin Yin asked, "Do you think she is worthy of Mr. Shen?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Peng Ran propped his chin with one hand, confused: "Why say this? Isn’t it obvious she is the future mistress of the Shen Mansion? Senior Brother Shen has already sent the betrothal gifts, every single item sent was a treasure."

He paused, adding one more line:

"I personally supervised the packing."

Qin Yin lifted his eyelids, giving him a sidelong glance: "It’s not about Mr. Shen, just speaking from the heart, can the Third Miss of the Ye Mansion, unknowledgeable and willful, bear the title of mistress?"

Guo Hao pondered: "Indeed, now the young master’s wealth is vast, and the Investigation Factory is advancing with unstoppable momentum. In the future, when he stamps his foot, even the halls of power tremble. But this is the young master’s decision, and I respect him."

Qin Yin said lightly, "I think she is unworthy of the young master and cannot hold the position of mistress."

Ling Que did not wish to join this topic, "I’ll head back to handle affairs, you continue your chat."

With that, using Qinggong, she flew away.

Once she left, the three men refrained from gossiping further and departed separately.

In a corner stood two women, looking displeased.

It was the returning duo of master and servant, who happened to overhear the conversation of the Investigation Factory’s Four Symbols.

Ming Yan’s lips moved, comforting her mistress: "Miss, he was just talking nonsense, don’t let these people disturb your peace of mind. That Qin Yin, I’ve disliked him for a long time, always sowing discord."

Although what he said had a smattering of truth.

Considering the current standing of the future son-in-law, indeed the prospects are boundless.

However, her mistress is not lacking either.

The fact that Ye Mansion spent two thousand taels to buy her back, no matter what, she stands with Ye Mansion.

Ye Zhi remained silent. In the book, it was written that Azure Dragon Qin Yin killed the original Ye Zhi, which indicated that she did not align well with him, and it seems, she should stay away from Azure Dragon in the future.

"Miss, say something."

Ye Zhi turned towards the inner courtyard: "Say what. You’re not silver, not everyone has to like you. He doesn’t like me, I don’t like him either. I’m spending my life with Xiao Chen, not with him. Let’s go; once in the Shen Mansion, the first thing I’ll do is deal with this Qin Yin, daring to gossip about me behind my back."

Ming Yan followed: "That’s right, he said the miss is unknowledgeable, but in my eyes, sometimes what the miss says makes more sense than what those people say."

Shen Chen, except for at night when he is sleeping, is almost always in the study.

When Ye Zhi went to the study, she happened to find him annotating scrolls.

The young man, with a golden nature, slowly writing, was like a painting, very pleasing to the eye.

She exclaimed, "Xiao Chen."

The young man looked up at her briefly, then continued to write swiftly, saying faintly: "You’re here, is there something you need?"
