Because of Mu Yunxi !
No one said a word in retort to what Ye Liu said, the reason Shen Li was sold was that his family was indeed poor but Ye Liu's family could not be counted as totally poor. Ye Liu's daddy give birth to a son who was the youngest in the family but he was able to marry a rich missy who lived in the capital, it could be said that even though Ye Liu's family was not rich they were not wrecked up either. They had money to feed their children but then one day the youngest son of the Ye family returned home because his wife was killed in the rebellion attack of the rebels who were upset with the nobles.
