Ye Yaming felt a surge of joy in her heart: "That's good."
"The question is, after this list is compiled, should we deliver it directly to Song Yifeng or wait until he comes tomorrow? If we wait until he arrives to review it, I'm afraid there will be more haggling," Ye Chongming said.
Given the greed of the Song mother and son, if the list wasn't handed to them directly, they would undoubtedly return fewer items and withhold a significant portion.
Ye Yaming thought for a moment, then turned to Old Mrs. Ye: "Grandmother, tomorrow morning, send someone to Madam Wu's residence to inquire if she would be available to come to our estate for tea and snacks tomorrow afternoon during the Shen hour."
Everyone was taken aback.
"You mean to invite her as a witness?" Old Mrs. Ye asked.
Ye Yaming nodded: "Today, both Master Wu and Madam Wu showed goodwill. Perhaps Madam Wu would be willing to help with this. In any case, it doesn't hurt to ask. If she says she's unavailable, then so be it."
Old Mrs. Ye nodded: "Very well, I'll send A Yu tomorrow."
Ye Yaming then curtsied and stood at the crossroads, watching the group depart.
The main branch was closest to the central courtyard, located just behind it. The party walked a bit further before Ye Chongming turned to Ye Hongchang and his son: "You may return. Send someone to thoroughly investigate the Wang family."
After Ye Hongchang and his son had also left with their servants, he spoke to the maid who had been following Old Mrs. Ye: "Send someone to the second branch to summon Second Madam. Tell her the Old Madam has matters to discuss with her."
The maid acknowledged and went to the second branch.
This had been prearranged by the elderly couple for tonight's banquet...

Ye Yaming then curtsied and stood at the fork in the path, watching as the group departed.
The main branch residence was closest to the main courtyard, located just behind it. The group walked a bit further before Ye Chongming turned to Ye Hongchang and his son: "You may return now. Send someone to thoroughly investigate the Wang family."
After Ye Hongchang and his son had also left with their servants, he spoke to the maid who had been following Old Mrs. Ye: "Send someone to the second branch to summon Second Madame. Tell her the Old Madam has matters to discuss with her."
The maid acknowledged and went to the second branch.
This had been prearranged by the elderly couple. During tonight's banquet, Ye Yaming thought happily: "That's good."
"After this list is compiled, should we deliver it directly to Song Yifeng or wait until he comes tomorrow? If we wait until he arrives to review it, we'll likely face more haggling," Ye Chongming said.
Given the greed of the Song mother and son, if the list wasn't delivered to them directly, they would certainly return fewer items and withhold a significant portion.
Ye Yaming thought for a moment, then looked at Old Mrs. Ye: "Grandmother, could you send someone to Madam Wu's residence tomorrow morning? Invite her to come to our mansion for tea and snacks tomorrow afternoon during the Shen hour (3-5 pm), and see if she's available."
Everyone was taken aback.
"You mean to invite her as a witness?" Old Mrs. Ye asked.
Ye Yaming nodded: "Today, both Master Wu and Madam Wu showed goodwill. Perhaps Madam Wu would be willing to help with this matter. Anyway, it doesn't hurt to ask. If she says she's unavailable, then so be it."

The group walked a bit further before Ye Chongming turned to Ye Hongchang and his son, saying, "You may return now. Send someone to thoroughly investigate the Wang family."
After Ye Hongchang and his son had also departed with their servants, he finally addressed the maid who had been following Old Mrs. Ye, instructing, "Send someone to the second branch to summon Second Madame, saying the Old Madam has matters to discuss with her."
The maid acknowledged the order and went to the second branch.
This had been prearranged by the elderly couple. During tonight's banquet, Ye Yaming felt a surge of joy inwardly: "That's good."
"Once this list is compiled, should we deliver it directly to Song Yifeng or wait until he comes tomorrow? If he reviews it only upon arrival tomorrow, I fear there will be more haggling," Ye Chongming said.
Given the greed of the Song mother and son, if the list wasn't delivered to them directly, they would certainly return fewer items and withhold a significant portion.
Ye Yaming thought for a moment, then turned to Old Mrs. Ye: "Grandmother, tomorrow morning, could you send someone to Madam Wu's residence to inquire if she would be available to come to our estate for tea and snacks tomorrow afternoon at the Hour of the Monkey?"
Everyone was taken aback.
"Are you suggesting we invite her to serve as a witness?" Old Mrs. Ye asked.
Ye Yaming nodded: "Today, both Master Wu and Madam Wu showed goodwill. Perhaps Madam Wu would be willing to help with this. It doesn't hurt to ask—if she says she's unavailable, then so be it."
Old Mrs. Ye nodded: "Very well, I'll send A Yu to make the visit tomorrow."
Ye Yaming then performed a slight curtsy and stood at the crossroads, watching as the others departed.
