Hearing Ye Qingxue's question, a faint smile appeared on Ye Xi's face.
"Family Head Ye, after your Nine Heart Begonia Family joins the force I have established, your status will be second only to mine, and all other treatment will be the highest specification I can offer."
"Family Head Ye, what do you think?"
Ye Xi folded her hands together, her azure eyes filled with a serious expression.
"If that is the case, then naturally there is no problem."
Ye Qingxue nodded gently, then changed the subject, saying: "But there is one more thing I would like to ask about."
"If it is inconvenient to answer, you do not have to."
Although there was still a smile on Ye Qingxue's face, a hint of seriousness appeared in her eyes.
"Family Head Ye, feel free to ask whatever questions you have."
"If possible, I will answer as best as I can."
As her voice fell, Ye Xi assumed an attentive posture, quietly waiting for Ye Qingxue's question.
"If one wants to establish a force, the initial capital and resources required are not a small amount. Therefore, I would like to know, who is supporting you from behind the scenes? Is it the hidden Sect you belong to, or some other force?"
Ye Qingxue's voice carried a hint of solemnity, and after asking this question, she waited for Ye Xi's reply.
"This is not something that cannot be said."
"I have a good relationship with the Crown Prince, so the force supporting me from behind the scenes is the Heaven Dou Royal Family."
A beautiful arc curled at the corner of Ye Xi's mouth, her voice filled with nonchalance.
"So it is the Heaven Dou Royal Family."
Ye Qingxue nodded thoughtfully; although she was a bit surprised, she was not overly shocked.
As for the reason why the Heaven Dou Royal Family could support Ye Xi to this extent, although Ye Xi did not say, Ye Qingxue could roughly guess some of it.
It was nothing more than valuing Ye Xi's own potential, or perhaps the influence existing behind Ye Xi.
"Our Nine Heart Begonia Family is willing to join the force you have established and reach a cooperative relationship with you."
"If there is anything that needs help, you can come directly to the Nine Heart Begonia Family to find me; our Nine Heart Begonia Family will certainly provide our full support."
Ye Qingxue's voice was full of solemnity, and the expression on her face was also very serious.
"Then I will welcome Family Head Ye's joining here first."
"I can assure you that joining the force I have established is absolutely a very correct choice."
A smile bloomed on Ye Xi's face, and her azure eyes were filled with joy.
"I think so too."
"There are still some matters in the Family that need to be handled, so I will head back first."
"Tomorrow, I will bring my daughter to pay a visit."
Ye Qingxue stood up from her seat and revealed a gentle smile to Ye Xi and the others.
"Good, I will await Family Head Ye's arrival."
Ye Xi also stood up from her seat, watching Ye Qingxue leave.
Not until Ye Qingxue left the private room did Ye Xi stretch her waist and look towards Tian Yue and Ling Yuan.
"Sister Tian Yue, Elder Ling Yuan, let us go back too."
"I didn't expect such a big surprise today."
As Ye Xi spoke, she strode directly toward the outside of the VIP private room.
"The joining of the Nine Heart Begonia Family is indeed a very big surprise."
After Tian Yue said this, she stood up from her seat and quickly followed Ye Xi's pace.
And Ling Yuan followed quietly behind the two of them.
After the group left the Tian Dou Great Spirit Arena, they headed toward the direction of the mansion.
Arriving in front of the mansion's gate, Ye Xi reached out and knocked on the door.
Before long, the door opened from the inside, and Zhong Meng's figure appeared before everyone's eyes.
"Hmm, not bad."
"You changed your clothes, and you look much better."
Ye Xi scrutinized the Zhong Meng before her and nodded lightly, involuntarily.
Dressed in a white long dress, Zhong Meng, at first glance, gave people the feeling of a modest, delicate beauty.
In short, it was much better than when she was bought back from the auction house.
"Young Miss, you must not have eaten yet."
"I have prepared some food for you; I do not know if it suits your tastes."
Zhong Meng lowered her head and made way, letting Ye Xi and the others enter.
"We indeed have not eaten yet."
"Trying your cooking will also be nice."
Ye Xi walked into the mansion, and after looking around, she was surprised to find that the entire courtyard had actually been cleaned by Zhong Meng until it was spotless.
And Zhong Meng, walking at the back, was constantly paying attention to the expressions of Ye Xi and the others, looking as if she were terrified that Ye Xi and the others would be dissatisfied.
"Zhong Meng, you did very well; you actually cleaned the mansion so cleanly."
Ye Xi looked at Zhong Meng, her voice full of praise.
"Young Miss, this is what I should do."
Hearing Ye Xi's praise, a bright smile appeared on Zhong Meng's face.
Arriving in the mansion's dining room, they saw that a wooden table was filled with all sorts of delicacies.
Smelling the fragrance of the food, Ye Xi, Tian Yue, and Ling Yuan sat down directly at the dining table.
After tasting a bite of the delicacies in front of her, Ye Xi turned her gaze toward Zhong Meng, who was standing to the side.
"The taste is quite good."
"You should sit and eat with us too. Currently, there are not many people in the mansion, and there are not that many rules."
Ye Xi beckoned to Zhong Meng, signaling her to sit down and eat together.
Hearing Ye Xi's words, Zhong Meng stood where she was, not moving.
"Young Miss, there is a distinction between master and servant."
"As a maid, how can I eat with you?"
Zhong Meng shook her head gently, her voice full of firmness.
She knew her place very well and was also very satisfied with her current life.
Here, not only were food and lodging provided, but Ye Xi's attitude toward her maids was also very kind.
"Alright then."
Seeing Zhong Meng's attitude, Ye Xi did not force her.
"Zhong Meng, your cooking is truly good."
"It is just that you made a little too little."
Tian Yue said, casting an appreciative look at Zhong Meng.
"Ah, is this not enough?"
Zhong Meng looked at the food she had prepared, a hint of surprise appearing in her eyes.
The amount of food she had cooked was enough for five or six people to eat, but because it was her first time, she did not know Tian Yue's appetite.
"For Sister Tian Yue, this is indeed not quite enough."
"Next time you can make a bit more."
Ye Xi put down her bowl and chopsticks and said softly.
"Miss Tian Yue, what else would you like to eat? I will go and make some more for you."
Zhong Meng went to Tian Yue's side and said earnestly.
"There is no need to go to such trouble; seven-tenths full is fine."
After patting her stomach, Tian Yue stood up directly from her seat.
"We are going back to our rooms now."
"Zhong Meng, after you tidy this up, go back to your room to rest."
Ye Xi said, then walked out of the dining room with Tian Yue and Ling Yuan.
"Yes, Young Miss."
After answering, Zhong Meng began to tidy up the bowls and chopsticks.
