The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2567 - 51: Mutual Exploitation

She said she knew he was dealing with Ye Haoxuan and could help.

This was their first cooperation, yet it failed right away, which made him suspicious.

"Second Young Master, this accusation is quite hurtful," the person referred to as Miss Bai said. "If I weren’t committed, I would have just let my subordinates handle it. Why bother doing it myself?"

"Neither you nor I wished for the failure. Since it has already happened, our priority should be how to remedy it or move forward, rather than finding who to blame."

"Very well." Young Master Situ clapped his hands, "Then tell me, what’s the next step?"

"Everyone has weaknesses; we should exploit his. Once we have his weakness, he will have no choice but to succumb."

"Weakness?" The Second Young Master asked puzzled, "What weaknesses does he have? In the Capital City, he’s known as the little fox, and his father is the old fox. They’re a cunning family and no flaws have surfaced yet."

"Beauty is a hero’s greatest weakness throughout the ages," Miss Bai said with a smile, "No matter the man, it’s the same."

The Second Young Master pondered, then laughed, "Miss Bai, just say it directly, no need to beat around the bush."

"There’s a girl beside Prince An rumored to be his maid, but my people observed that Prince An treats her very differently. If you capture this girl and lure Prince An, what’s impossible about it?"

The Second Young Master stroked his chin; he naturally knew that Ye Haoxuan had a girl beside him, also aware she was a lady from a wealthy family in Quanya County.

But to say Ye Haoxuan treated her specially, he couldn’t believe it. According to his men, Ye Haoxuan’s attitude toward the girl was quite harsh, his words unkind, attitude dismissive. If not, he would have already acted against her.

"Second Young Master should be familiar with the term ’a love-hate relationship’ right? Quarrels might still hold affection." The woman continued, "There’s a tale in the city of a puppet once snatched by a white bird, which returned it after fearing dragon power. Do you know this bird is kept by the girl beside Ye Haoxuan?"

"What did you say?"

This was bad news; if the bird was raised by someone close to Ye Haoxuan, it meant his people were nearby that day. Then the assassination in Nankai County, and the missing group of lowlifes...

"Bang..." He smashed the table. It wasn’t just an assassination; Ye Haoxuan’s men likely silenced that group, masking it with an assassination.

As for the two artifacts uncovered, they surely orchestrated it.

"Very good, very good, I never thought a mere girl could ruin this young master’s plans."

A murderous gleam emerged in Young Master Situ’s eyes, terrifying.

Miss Bai smiled seeing this, that girl even had a messenger bird she didn’t possess, truly despicable!

She also needed to figure out exactly who that damned girl was, and how she came to have their things.

She intended to capture the girl herself, but unfortunately, there were people protecting her, so plans had to pause.

It was just as well to encounter this Young Master Situ, perhaps use him a bit; regarding the Ye Family, she didn’t like them much either, aiding the opposition didn’t bother her.

"Dare to ruin my plans, I want her dead!"

"Someone!"

"Young Master, at your service!"

"Go, find out where the annoying girl beside Ye Haoxuan is now, and bring her to me."
