Chapter 760: Chapter 760: VIP System
“I guess so. She was probably scared when this happened. It feels great to vent at the moment, but the trouble starts afterward,” Yang Ye answered.
“What’s your take?” asked Yang Wenxiao.
“Well…” Yang Ye hesitated, then carefully selected his words. “The Daqi Law is sacred and cannot be violated, but laws are dead, and people are alive. We have to consider fairness and popular sentiment.”
He initially had no intention of speaking directly.
But Yang Wenxiao had declared his position on Qiao Xiaomai’s side so clearly. Therefore, he decided it was better to just be straightforward.
In light of Yang Wenxiao’s impression of Qiao Xiaomai, he should take Qiao Xiaomai’s side in this case…@@novelbin@@
His mind worked quickly, and he continued, “My grandson is now in charge of revising the Daqi Law. This case involving Qiao Xiaomai’s family is very typical. There may be many women like Zhuang Lühe in Daqi who, for the sake of so-called filial piety and reputation, dare not resist and quietly endure unimaginable abuse.”
“But in Daqi, we don’t believe in favoring males over females. Women are also very powerful and valuable, just like Qiao Xiaomai.”
“Therefore, I believe we should put Zhuang Lühe’s case up for broad discussion and not rely on the current Daqi Laws for judgment.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Wenxiao sneered.
His gaze shifted to the window, narrowing slightly, “Yes, we should discuss it.”
“So this issue…”
“I’ll talk to your Emperor Father about it.”
“In that case, thank you Grandpa Emperor,” Yang Ye said, delighted.
Finally, he hadn’t let Qiao Xiaomai down!
Yang Wenxiao’s gaze landed on him again after hearing his words, “This is Qiao Xiaomai’s issue, what are you thanking for?”
“Qiao Xiaomai conducts herself well, so I regard her as a friend.”
Yang Wenxiao glanced at him deeply, then returned his gaze to the window, “Let’s go to the Extreme Taste Residence and check out their so-called VIP system.”
“Sure, let’s see who spends the most silver,” Yang Ye replied after receiving that intense glance. He quickly changed the topic once Yang Wenxiao did so.
And so, the grandfather-grandson duo really went to the Extreme Taste Residence. The sudden visit startled the shopkeeper, who promptly tidied up the best private room in the inner courtyard. Seeing Yang Wenxiao and Yang Ye showing interest in the VIP system, he brought out the account books recording the expenditure of their distinguished guests for them to review.
“Wow, the threshold is set quite high. It costs two thousand taels of silver just for a bowl of superior white jade flowers,” Yang Wenxiao said, jokingly, after reading the numbers recorded in the account book.
Yang Ye also joined in the laughter, “No choice, Qiao Xiaomai gave us limited resources. Those little things have to be stretched until next year’s autumn harvest.”
“How was the business of the Extreme Taste Residence this month?” Yang Wenxiao asked the shopkeeper.
“Replying to your highness, we’re expecting twice the net profit.”
“Very good,” Yang Wenxiao smiled, satisfied.
Perhaps, it was time to reveal the news about the treasure.
He was uncertain about where the treasure had ended up, and he only trusted the Tong Family to a certain extent. Therefore, he used the Tong Family’s assets as collateral for that batch of treasures.
Now that the Extreme Taste Residence was thriving, that was good.
Hmm… since Tiehu Tong once lived by the East Sea, the news about the treasure could be released there, to attract people.
Yang Ye was unaware that his grandpa emperor had suddenly thought about that treasure again. After having a meal at the Extreme Taste Residence, he accompanied Yang Wenxiao on a walk around the capital city, and in the evening, they had dinner together again.
What do you think?
