Ye Xinyan's face immediately fell upon hearing Madam Yin's reasoning. She hadn't expected that the biggest obstacle in her well-laid plans was herself.
Originally, after finishing her meal, Ye Xinyan was going to take a nice nap and then contact Song Ping to decide whether or not to finalize the deal on that shop.
But the blow from Madam Yin left her unable to sleep. As she tossed and turned, Jiu Mei came in to report that Duke An had requested her presence and she was to go there immediately.
Ye Xinyan rose, full of wonder. What could the old man want? Why was he so urgent in summoning her that she wasn't even allowed to take her nap?
Indeed, this morning's incident had taken a heavy toll on the old master; his inability to sleep was understandable.
