Transmigrated as A Farm Girl Making Her Family Rich

While Ye Shiqi was eating pastries, she remembered that she had gone to buy fabric but hadn't given the silver taels to them.

She could only wait for their return to give them the silver taels.

In a tavern in the small town, a man stood by a window of a private room, with several guards behind him.

The more the man observed the street outside, the deeper his frown became, and among the crowd on the street, he caught sight of a familiar little figure.

He felt an impulsive urge to run down there, grab that little figure, and protect her.

To take her back to the Capital City and prevent her from going outside the border again.

Yet, he noticed that many spies were watching the group, tracking them. It wasn't appropriate to act during daylight, nor could he risk exposure.

"Princely Heir, the silk shop owner is receiving customers and cannot come to see the Princely Heir immediately."

"Who are those people? What kind of customers can't be handled by subordinates? Are they more important than our Princely Heir?"

The guard behind the man questioned the newcomer.

Called Princely Heir, the man's handsome brows were furrowed, his expression clearly irritated.

"Did the shop owner say who the guest is?"

"The owner did say—it is a person the Princely Heir is interested in. They had previously acquired a batch of fabric here, and now they are adding another batch, choosing the fastest speed for loading goods, it seems they must board the ship today."

Princely Heir... Is this transporting goods or doing business?

He had come here to investigate a case and was worried about the safety of Ye Shiqi and Housekeeper Ye's group.

In the Capital City, upon hearing news of their danger and with the support of the 13th Prince, he led a group of men to this place at breakneck speed over land.

For several days, they had been rushing, barely resting at night.

It was at their liaison point that they changed horses, and the entire party was utterly exhausted.

Fortunately, here, they caught up with the person they wanted to see.

This man was none other than Ye Haohuan of Marquis Yongbo Mansion, and this journey was not for business or transporting goods.

Listening to the shopkeeper's words, Ye Haohuan felt a surge of impulse to take a trip outside the border under the guise of doing business.

To act as the eyes of the 13th Prince, to help check if the General's people were indeed suffering greatly?

Were those people indeed behaving excessively?

Their own people had relayed that life was tough, leading to the plan he formulated with the 13th Prince to send supplies and silver taels.

"Go down and tell our people to prepare a large ship tonight with the fastest speed, a ship full of supplies and food."

The Princely Heir's sudden decision left his guards stupefied, as well as the one receiving the order.

"Are there any difficulties?"

"No... no difficulties...!" Though the person receiving the orders was shocked, they dared not object, for this man was a Prince's man. If a Prince decided to do something, not to mention a day, it could be done in half a day.

"Then why are you still standing here doing nothing? Isn't time pressing?" Ye Haohuan glared disapprovingly.

"I will do my utmost to ensure it's done!"

"Not 'do my utmost', it must be done!" Ye Haohuan felt like he was on the brink of an outburst!

"Yes..."

Ye Haohuan waved his hand, also sending two of the guards by his side to help.

Spies from various factions in the small town quickly noticed that the Ye family's liaison point was in action, purchasing large amounts of grains and fabrics.

The spies thought to report this activity to their superiors by writing letters.

Then they saw many gifted shops beginning to bustle, the previously thriving businesses.

The owners were too busy to attend to customers, letting family members entertain guests, loading all the stock from the storehouses onto vehicles.

Seeing that stock was low and urgent spinning was impossible, they even had to load display samples meant for sale.

Some people noticed that many shops selling goods were starting to clear out their inventory.

Those unaware thought they were going out of business, selling off all their fabrics and closing for good.

"Shouldn't those whose doors are tightly shut be worried and wearing a mournful face?"

"Why does everyone look so cheerful, as if they've stumbled upon gold and struck it rich?"

Suddenly faced with a situation where goods were sold out, a spy received this news and wanted to know which major customer had emptied the town.

Ye Shiqi had lunch alone in the grain shop.

The boss was busy transporting goods with others to the harbor for shipment.

Ye Haohuan thought about visiting Ye Shiqi at the rice shop, this audacious little one.

His subordinate then reported that they had found the big ship, and asked Ye Haohuan to board first.

Ye Haohuan changed his mind, wanting to appear before Ye Shiqi someday and give her a surprise.

He boarded the ship secretly, and everyone thought they were undetected.

However, there was a mistake; his ship and the Ye family's ship were assumed to be in league.

As night approached, a group of people arrived in the small town by land, among them were two carriages.

From one carriage with the curtains drawn, someone said to the guard beside, "Summon the spy."

"Yes," the guard rode away on horseback and quickly returned with another rider.

"Housekeeper, today, two ships were loaded with goods, and two people dressed like rich young masters boarded the two ships respectively."

"Is one the ship of Housekeeper Ye?"

"Yes, a Young Master boarded, and the group from the Ye family did not appear. The goods loaded on the ship were grains and fabrics bought in the ancient town."

"Who are the people on the other ship? Have you found out?"

"I don't know, I only know it's a rich young master who came to buy fabric and grain."

"What is their course?"

"I don't know."

"Idiot, you don't know this, you don't know that; regardless if they are together or not, seize the goods from both parties."

"Yes," the housekeeper made the ruthless arrangement.

In another carriage sat a man with a dark complexion, who also had subordinates reporting to him.

At this moment, he did not communicate with the housekeeper; his mission was to kill, to take revenge.

It was not just about seizing goods.

Ye Haohuan had been waiting on the ship, and at last, through the ship's window, he saw the figure of that little one entering the other ship.

By now, night had fallen, and their ship loading was complete.

Ye Haohuan ordered the sailors to follow the course of the other ship.

Not too closely, yet not too far away.

Ye Haohuan was dining at that time, and his people had already informed him that those suspicious individuals were following.

"No matter, if they have the ability, let them come!"

"Yes," his subordinates began to protect everything on the big ship, including the Young Master.

There was the assassin boss who wanted the two ships.

This time, he dispatched not just small boats with sailors but also those capable of diving underwater.

As darkness enveloped the sea, they entered the water. From their own vessel, they quickly swam toward the opposing ship.

Having suffered losses several times in trying to board others' ships from the water, they deemed that conducting an attack from aboard a ship would also be disadvantageous.

They aimed to breach the others' ship from underneath, sinking it with all its crew and cargo into the sea's depths.

The assassin boss had gambled all his capital this time; he would tolerate nothing but success and could not afford failure.

After the housekeeper's assassins failed three times, he felt they were unreliable and also dispatched Hidden Guards to carry out the mission.
