Chapter 24: 023 Prime Minister Residence’s Number One Talented Lady (5)

Indeed, hearing that the Prime Minister intended to recruit him as a secretary, Fang Tuo lowered his gaze, his voice stiff and distant—he had always detested such arrangements.

Moreover, his heart already belonged to another: “I appreciate the Minister’s consideration, but I have no immediate intention of marrying,” he said.

Prime Minister Ye admired Fang Tuo, finding this young man to be a promising talent with both good looks and character.

It was just that he was too poor.

His daughter had always been pampered at home, and he didn’t really wish for her to marry Fang Tuo and live a life of poverty. His face showed no change in expression upon hearing this; he simply nodded slightly, “It is proper for a man to have such thoughts.”

Behind the screen, Lady Ye’s expression was somewhat unpleasant, but in the end, she said nothing.

She merely waved her hand, signaling Shaohua to leave first.

Upon hearing of her return, Ye Huaijin had also taken the trouble to hurry back early from the Ministry of Works.

“Why so early?” Leaning against the corridor, Shaohua was somewhat surprised to see Ye Huaijin moving about with such ease.

Her heart sank slightly. It seemed that the Ye Residence had not fared well in recent years. That Bai Zhenzhen must have made her moves in secret.

“Let’s go inside and talk.” Ye Huaijin looked Shaohua up and down, seeing how she had become even more attractive over the past three years, before he let out a sigh of relief.

On the way to the study room, they encountered Fang Tuo. Ye Huaijin merely gave him a slight nod, showing no intention of further conversation.

In contrast, Fang Tuo paused in his steps upon seeing the dazzling Shaohua. He waited until she passed by him without a sideways glance, not even deigning to look at him directly.

Before this, Fang Tuo had wondered what kind of charm the Shaohua, whose name had once shaken the Imperial City, truly possessed. Only upon meeting her did he realize her elegance was something difficult to capture with just a few strokes of the brush.

Fang Tuo glanced at her once, then turned his gaze away. Compared to Shaohua’s stunning beauty, he preferred Bai Zhenzhen’s unworldly demeanor. Accustomed to seeing Bai Zhenzhen’s ethereal figure in white, the riot of colors almost made his heart leap out of his chest.

But then he remembered she was Shaohua, and he quickly calmed down.

“So our family has been forgotten by the emperor and the Third Prince?” Shaohua said, as she and her brother entered the study room where Prime Minister Ye and his wife were conversing.

Prime Minister Ye nodded slightly, “The Third Prince is probably seeking a marital alliance with the Bai Family.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Huaijin instinctively glanced at Shaohua, remembering her close relationship with the Third Prince three years ago.

Only when he saw no change in Shaohua’s expression did he allow himself to relax a little.

He pulled out a paper from his robe, “Father, take a look at this.”

“What is this?” The Prime Minister looked at it for a long while.

“A new weapon in possession of the Third Prince, fully formed and of tremendous power,” Ye Huaijin pondered for a moment, “Father, you’ve been disengaged from politics these past two years, and now it’s time to take a stand.”

Ye Huaijin had sent a sketch of this bizarre gun to Shaohua.

Latterly, with the production of the musket nearly at its final step, Ye Huaijin was framed for stealing the musket production drawings and imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison by the emperor. _{fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓}
