Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

Chong'er just woke up and saw Cui'er busy. He didn't know what was going on and followed her with his short legs to get busy.

Leng Youran asked Cui'er to clean up one room for them to live in and then left.

Around noon, Leng Youran came back with two more bags. In addition to food, she also bought some clothes for Cui'er and Chong'er.

Leng Youran didn't let them take their belongings with them before they came, so the clothes inside were badly damaged. To put it bluntly, they were almost naked.

She didn't plan to let them make a fire. They wouldn't be staying here for more than two days, so she would just provide the food.

After putting down his things, he saw that it was almost noon, so he said goodbye to Cui'er and left.

When I arrived at the box where I had agreed to meet Hua Mingche, Hua Mingche was already waiting there.

Their box was arranged by Ye Chaoyang in advance and was right next to the room he was in.

"uncle."

Leng Youran called out to Hua Mingche, who was still in a daze. Hua Mingche looked at the man in front of him as if he had just seen her. Remembering the time she had called him uncle, he asked uncertainly, "You, you are Ran'er?"

Leng Youran had told him before that she could disguise herself, but he was still surprised when he saw it with his own eyes.

Standing up, his hand unconsciously reached out to Leng Youran's face and gently pinched it. "Hey, it's soft, just like the real thing."

Leng Youran was speechless and gently pushed his hand away. "Uncle, it's your face, how can I not be soft?"

"Your own face? You mean you just put some makeup on your face and it turned out like this?"

"Yes!"

Hua Mingche took a deep breath, wow...

How did his niece do it? He had only heard before that there was something like human skin that could be worn on the face to disguise oneself as someone else. Now his niece told him with facts that it was not that troublesome to disguise oneself.

"Hehe, hehe..." Hua Mingche rubbed his hands, with an inexplicable smile on his face.

Leng Youran was frightened by his expression and quickly took a step back, shrinking her neck. "Uncle, uncle, let's talk this over. Can you please control that expression on your face?"

Hua Mingche finally realized that there was something wrong with his appearance. He put away the malicious smile on his face, reached out to pull Leng Youran, pressed her down on the stool and sat down next to her.

"Um, I'm your uncle, right?"

Leng Youran wasn't used to Hua Mingche being like this. He nodded and said impatiently, "Uncle, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't be like this."

"So what did I say? Actually, actually..." Hua Mingche was a little embarrassed to speak.

It is said that the art of disguise is a secret that cannot be passed on. It seems a bit inappropriate for an elder like him to deceive a younger person like this.

But he was too curious and wanted to know how it was done.

Leng Youran guessed what he was thinking when he saw his eyes rolling around, "Uncle wants to learn the art of disguise?"

"Hmm? Learn? Can I learn?" Hua Mingche just wanted to know how it was done. He had never really thought about learning it. Of course, if she was willing to teach him, he would be willing to do it a thousand times.

In order to avoid Leng Youran's rejection, he immediately said, "Yes, yes, yes, I want to learn. Ran'er, can you teach me?"

"Okay, it's not a difficult task. When my uncle arrives in Liangzhou, I will teach you when I have time." For her, the more skills the people around her learn, the better.

"Really? You're really going to teach me?"

"Why would I lie to you? If you're really curious, I'll teach you after we get back."

Hua Mingche couldn't sit still after hearing this, so he grabbed Leng Youran and prepared to leave.

"Uncle, uncle, calm down, calm down, we still have things to do!"

After hearing what she said, Hua Mingche remembered the purpose of their trip.

"Yes, yes, let's get down to business first."

As soon as the uncle and nephew sat down, they heard voices from the next room.

"Has Shopkeeper Ye figured it out?"

As soon as the prince and Minister Li entered the box, they acted condescending.

Ye Chaoyang stood up, bowed, and gestured to the two of them to come in. After they sat down, he said, "I asked the uncle and the minister to come here today to discuss this matter."

Minister Li and the prince-in-law looked at each other, and a hint of ridicule appeared at the corners of their mouths.

Then he said, "Shopkeeper Ye asked us to come here. Didn't he already have it in mind? Why is he acting like this now?"

When Ye Chaoyang faced the two people, he was still very timid in his heart, but when he thought that the Ye family's huge fortune was about to be handed over to others, his mentality became much calmer.

"I have thought about it. I am willing to present the Ye family's things to the emperor, but I would like to ask for a favor from His Majesty the Emperor."

When the emperor's uncle heard that he was willing to hand over the Ye family's things, he was surprised. In his opinion, the Ye family was wealthy and powerful, and the emperor had no idea how much stuff the Ye family had. These things had passed through his and Minister Li's hands. Even if they kept some of them secretly, the emperor would not know.

"Shopkeeper Ye, please tell me what favor you would like to receive."

Minister Li was also an old fox. He knew that since the uncle asked this, he must have some plans in mind. Then he said:

"Yes, let me tell you. Although I and the uncle can have a say in front of His Majesty, Shopkeeper Ye also needs to understand that there are some things we can't do."

How could Ye Chaoyang not understand the intentions of the two men? He took out a few pages from the bottom of a dozen account books and handed them to the king's uncle and Minister Li respectively.

The prince's uncle and Minister Li glanced at the deeds, and both of them smiled slightly.

When he looked at Ye Chaoyang again, his attitude became obviously more friendly.

"Tell me about it, Shopkeeper Ye. If we can do it, we will definitely try our best."

Ye Chaoyang didn't hesitate, "My two useless brothers are still troubling you two adults. Also, I hope you can tell His Majesty that our Ye family wants to leave the capital."

The prince's uncle and Minister Li both frowned.

What Zhao Mingyao had told them before was that he hoped the Ye family would continue to stay in the capital. He knew very well that a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Since the Ye family could create such a large industry, they must have some outstanding qualities.

Zhao Mingyao didn't want to let the Ye family go. He wanted to keep the Ye family in the capital and let them continue to prosper. In this way, whenever the palace was short of money in the future, he could always get some money from the Ye family.

"Manager Ye, this is not a easy matter to handle!" The prince's uncle acted embarrassed and pushed the land deed in front of him towards Ye Chaoyang.
