209: Chapter 97 Governor_2 209: Chapter 97 Governor_2 If the Ye Family’s fabrics really had issues, it would be a tremendous blow to their business, especially since they might never recover.

Once the reputation falls, the Ye Family’s business would be truly doomed.

In this case, even if the Ye Family had wealth worth millions, they would have to compensate everything, and the Ye Family would end up penniless.

No one knew exactly what was wrong with the fabric, but as Ye Mingyu had said, the Weaving Yard was located in Xiangyang, and both Ye Minghui and Ye Mingxuan were usually watching over it.

There had been no problems for many years, so a sudden incident, could it be an accident?

However, Jiang Li had a faint feeling that this was no accident.

Without going into details, it just so happened that Ye Shijie had just started his official career, at the beginning of his official path.

If anything happened to the Ye Family, and someone connected it with Ye Shijie’s business dealings, Ye Shijie’s career could almost be controlled by others.

Thinking of this, Jiang Li suddenly startled.

Could it really be true that the business troubles of the Ye Family were a deliberate snare, and the ultimate goal was to use the Ye Family to constrain Ye Shijie, or even to outright control the entire Ye Family?

After all, the Ye Family’s fortune was enviable, and if someone truly controlled the Ye Family, at least many things would become as easy as flipping one’s hand.

The Ye Family could provide a continuous supply of wealth for bribes.

Jiang Li’s heart suddenly tightened.

She was not the real Miss Jiang the Second, after all.

If one were to talk about deep feelings for the Ye Family, she had no reason to.

But when the nest is overturned, no eggs remain intact, and she still hoped to use the strength of the Ye Family for her own affairs in the future.

For her own sake, she had to protect the Ye Family.

But with the enemy hidden and herself exposed, it was difficult to act with comprehensive care.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Li said, “Tonger, go out of the mansion tomorrow and inquire at a few of the clothing stores in Xiangyang City.

Look for reputable ones and ask if they have received any clothes made from Ancient Fragrance Satin recently.”

“Alright,” Tonger agreed, asking Jiang Li, “Miss, why do you want to inquire about these?”

“The Ye Family’s business is in trouble, and Ancient Fragrance Satin is the key.

I do not know how many people are aware of the problem with Ancient Fragrance Satin now, nor how much trouble there is.

But many of the finer clothing stores in Xiangyang would definitely have had dealings with the Ye Family before concerning transactions of Ancient Fragrance Satin.

If these clothing stores have all started to reject Ancient Fragrance Satin, the matter is serious.”

Jiang Li did not say that at least in Yanjing City, no one knew that there was something wrong with Ancient Fragrance Satin; that is, the fact that there was a problem with the fabric had not yet spread.

If these clothing stores all uniformly stopped wanting Ancient Fragrance Satin much earlier, there must be a hidden story, and it’s very possible they were already alerted by someone.

“When you inquire, pay attention to the attitude of these shopkeepers.

See if they tell you that they simply do not have stock recently, or if they directly tell you that there is a problem with Ancient Fragrance Satin,” Jiang Li instructed.

Tonger took note seriously.

Doing business with the Ye Family, of course, was not a one-time deal, it involved ongoing interactions and steady flow.

Even Ye Mingyu could not be sure if there really was a problem with the fabric, and shopkeepers who wanted to do future business with the Ye Family would naturally help cover for the Ye Family.

But if they were immediately eager to spread the word, directly stating that the fabric was flawed, it could almost be confirmed that these clothing stores were given the nod by someone, deliberately sabotaging the Ye Family.

Had the Ye Family offended someone?

Jiang Li pondered.

Thinking back and forth, she found no clues.

With the current scarce information, Jiang Li could not figure it out.

It was only after Bai Xue urged her to rest early that Jiang Li gave up for the night.

The next day, Tonger really did go out early in the morning to follow Jiang Li’s instructions to inquire at the clothing stores, and Jiang Li asked Bai Xue to go with her as well.

Bai Xue was physically strong, which would make the trip safer.

Jiang Li herself, having no business to attend to in the courtyard, planned to find Ye Mingyu to talk to.

Inside the Ye household, Ye Mingyu was the only one who was unguarded towards her.

Having learned so much from Ye Mingyu the previous day, Jiang Li thought she might be able to learn more from him today.

Jiang Li didn’t know which courtyard Ye Mingyu stayed in, so she intended to go to the front hall and have a servant invite him.

Who knew that when she arrived at the front hall, she unexpectedly found that both Ye Jiaer and Ye Rufeng were there, too.

Ye Jiaer was pacing back and forth, her expression full of worry, while Ye Rufeng had a deep frown, as if he had encountered some troublesome matter.

Jiang Li’s steps slowed slightly as she entered and called out, “Cousin, cousin brother.”

Ye Rufeng responded with charm, while Ye Jiaer, seeing Jiang Li arrive, gave her a smile.

However, her smile also seemed tinged with sorrow.

She said, “Cousin sister, you’re here.” She paused, then said apologetically, “I’m sorry for leaving you alone at Lizheng Hall yesterday when Uncle Zhao and Uncle Zhuang suddenly arrived.”
