Chapter 990: 978 Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Character (12) Third Update

"So that is Lady Ye." Su Junling had long heard of Father Ye’s cooking skills.

Upon seeing Ye Shaohua, he wanted to go down and ask for some cooking advice.

Ning Zhao and others accompanied her down.

When they saw Ye Shaohua’s face, they were all taken aback, for they hadn’t expected her to be as beautiful as Su Junling. In comparison, Ye Shaohua clearly held the upper hand.

Su Junling’s face remained calm and detached. Standing on the steps of the elegant building, she looked down at Ye Shaohua across the street and was the first to ask a few culinary questions.

Her expression was somewhat haughty.

In her past life and this one, Ye Shaohua knew many things that sometimes even she could not keep track of, but the one thing she did not know was how to cook.

The original host didn’t want to learn cooking to avoid the kitchen smoke, and Ye Shaohua had never thought about learning the Ye Family’s recipes either.

Of course, she wasn’t afraid of the kitchen smoke; she just wanted to take a rest and not learn so many things anymore.

Not knowing the Ye Family recipes was not a big deal in Ye Shaohua’s eyes. She generously told Su Junling that she didn’t know how, then nodded to the group and immediately left without a hint of embarrassment or awkwardness in her demeanor.

Standing in her place, Su Junling watched Ye Shaohua’s retreating figure and sighed, "Initially, when Father Ye gave me a few pointers, my cooking skills were able to reach today’s level. I didn’t expect his daughter..."

"Father Ye only gave you a few pointers, and you were able to reach today’s level," Ning Zhao was surprised to hear Su Junling mention this for the first time, "Then compared with you, how much does Ye Shaohua fall short?"

The group lost interest in Ye Shaohua and didn’t discuss her further.

Just then, Su Junling’s carriage arrived, and Ning Zhao immediately went to assist Su Junling by opening the carriage door.

Seeing Ning Zhao’s attentiveness, Su Junling entered the carriage with a slight bashful bow of her head.

The Butler of the Song Family, who followed Ye Shaohua, was also surprised by her composed demeanor.

He had originally thought that upon seeing Ning Zhao, Ye Shaohua would go mad again; at first, he even worried whether he could hold her back if necessary.

But to his surprise, Ye Shaohua showed no reaction at all.

Surprised though he was, he didn’t inquire further.

Ye Shaohua, wanting to look around some more, let the Butler leave first before meeting with a few hoodlums.

During this time, she felt she was being watched, but she didn’t mind, nor did she deliberately shake off the follower. Instead, she let the hoodlums deal with it.

Late in the middle of the night, taking advantage of the absence of others, she went to Song Shuyun’s courtyard again. His originally pale face had gained some color, but for some reason, he had yet to wake up.

Ye Shaohua pinched his wrist to check his pulse and did not detect any abnormalities.

Then, she fed him a pill that she held and returned to her own courtyard.

Meanwhile, at the Song Family Study Room.

"Shuyun’s wet nurse wishes to speak with me?" Old Master Song pondered for a moment before letting her in.

The wet nurse dropped to her knees and first kowtowed to Old Master Song, "Master, I know this matter will worry you, but for the young master’s sake, I must speak."

Upon hearing it concerned Song Shuyun, Old Master Song quickly asked, "What is it?"

"Today, I sent a maid out to buy some medicinal herbs that the Lady had requested, and I saw the Young Master’s wife secretly speaking with several strangers for a long time..."

**

The Crown Prince had not yet sent a letter.

Ye Shaohua knew they were currently reforming their agriculture and commerce, so she wasn’t in a hurry over there and went to sleep that night.

She planned to check on Song Shuyun again later.

Just after getting up, she was called over by the Butler.

Ye Shaohua sensed that the Butler’s expression was very indifferent.

In this period, because Ye Shaohua had helped the Song Family review numerous account books and had assisted Old Master Song with many tasks, the Butler, Old Master Song, and those around him had shown great respect towards her.

But today, the Butler’s expression was as cold as when she had first awoken in this family.

This caused Ye Shaohua to wonder where something had gone wrong.

All the way to the study, her mind raced with possibilities.

When she arrived at Old Master Song’s Study Room, Old Master Song was discussing the imperial silk business with a shopkeeper.

The wet nurse stood beside Old Master Song, her face full of cold mockery.

Ye Shaohua’s covert investigation had already yielded results; it was indeed the Third Prince who had been working against the Song Family.

Hearing Old Master Song discussing business, Ye Shaohua spoke up directly, "The Song Family is negotiating a silk deal with the merchants from Zhejiang?"

"How did you come to know of this matter?" Old Master Song’s spirit lifted as he stared intently at Ye Shaohua, especially recalling the wet nurse’s words from last night.

Seeing his expression, Ye Shaohua had an idea.

But without any evidence to explain, Old Master Song would only think she was making excuses.

"No matter how I came to know of it, please believe me, this is a trap. Apart from the silk samples shown to you, the rest of Zhejiang’s silk is water-damaged and inferior. If it goes through the Song Family into the Palace, disaster will befall the Song Family."

"You must have already been in touch with Prime Minister Ning Zhao and the others, right? Are they waiting for our Song Family not to take this deal so they can immediately cooperate with the Zhejiang merchants? But this business, I, Old Master Song, am determined to do it!" Old Master Song stood up abruptly.

He looked at Ye Shaohua, and after a long moment, he spoke in a low voice, "I should have known that, with even my brother and my own mother leaving the Song Family at this time, how could you possibly stay?"

Ye Shaohua furrowed her brows.

"However, at the very beginning, if it wasn’t for you, the Song Family wouldn’t have been able to hold on," said Old Master Song in the end, "Although you stayed in the Song Family under the guise of taking care of Shuyun and to spy, you also saved the Song Family once. I will give you a sum of money, and I will not pursue this matter any further. You’ve always wanted to leave the Song Family, so today I will grant your wish and let you go back to the Ning Family."

"Master..." The wet nurse, hearing Old Master Song so easily letting Ye Shaohua go, became a bit anxious.

However, Old Master Song ignored the wet nurse and had the Butler hand Ye Shaohua a sum of silver.

Ye Shaohua stared blankly at the banknotes handed to her by the Butler.

The Butler brought out four banknotes, each worth five thousand taels, totaling twenty thousand taels, which was perhaps the largest sum the Song Family could afford to give at the moment.

Ye Shaohua’s emotions were complex.

She did not accept the banknotes.

Just then, someone outside shouted excitedly, "Master! The Young Master has woken up!"
