With economic power in hand, there is nothing to fear.

With so much Silver suddenly at hand, excitement truly stirred in people's hearts, and even Ye Old Man's stride seemed to catch a breeze.

After Ye Old Man had left, Ye Jiu urged Madam He, "Mother, if you keep confronting Father like this, and he gets snared away by the Li family's woman, you might regret it when the time comes."

What Ye Jiu wanted most was to sweep out Mrs. Li or at least have her mother and daughter move out, so they'd stop being an eyesore in the house.

However, Madam He disagreed, and in this era where mistresses were legally recognized, Ye Jiu truly felt helpless.

But Madam He didn't take it to heart at all, "If he dares, back when that little wretch Ye Erya was around he swore to me, if he ever gets tricked away by the Li family again, regardless of whose fault it is, they'll both be thrown out immediately. If he, a Ye, is not afraid to leave and face the cold northwest winds, he can go ahead and get heavily involved with Mrs. Li."
