Zhou Wuwei was very good at it, and it took him almost no effort to find out the little money that Mrs. Gu had in her hands, and it only took him two days to get a clear picture of it.
"That old woman is greedy for money. She goes to her small warehouse almost every day to see the gold, silver and jewelry stored in it."
"Watch it every day? Such an exaggeration"
"The small treasury is in the darkroom behind the old woman's canopy bed. I will keep an eye on her for two days. Every night before she goes to bed, I will kick out the maids who are waiting in the room and go to the darkroom myself."
"This is a bit difficult to handle. If we want to go in quietly, I'm afraid it won't be easy."
Ye Jintang was a little troubled. Mrs. Gu slept very lightly at her age, and the slightest sound of footsteps might wake people up.
"We have Sister Liuli. What kind of poison can't be made? As long as we give Mrs. Gu a small amount, even if she empties her warehouse, she may not know."
"Why did I forget Liuli? Call Liuli quickly."
There are all kinds of poisons in Liuli's hands. They are all kinds of poisons, and they have all kinds of effects.
Not to mention knocking people out, she could even poison them to death and revive them on a horse.
"This is called a sweet dream. Just smell a little bit and you can sleep for 12 hours."
Liuli handed the incense stick as long as a finger to Ye Jintang.
"It's really good to be able to sleep for 12 hours. Let Mrs. Gu have a good dream tonight."
It was quiet at night, the north wind was blowing, and it was a little cold.
Ye Jintang and Zhou Wuwei sneaked out of the Wen family quietly, taking advantage of the fact that no one was around to touch the Gu family.
The wall of Gu's courtyard is not high, so Zhou Wuwei and Ye Jintang climbed in easily.
"This is it."
Zhou Wuwei pointed to the window, and Ye Jintang quickly lit the incense stick and threw it in through the window.
About a quarter of an hour later, Zhou Wuwei was standing sentry outside, and Ye Jintang crept in.
The two maids in the outer room had already fallen asleep. Ye Jintang stepped forward and pushed them. Seeing that they had no reaction, she entered the inner room.
Mrs. Gu was sleeping soundly in the room. She had no idea that Ye Jintang had quietly come to her room.
Pushing open the wooden door of the darkroom, Ye Jintang lit the firewood to illuminate the darkroom.
I saw boxes full of gold and silver jewelry inside. I opened one at random and found a box full of silver ingots.
"The old woman is really good at making money. There are dozens of boxes of gold and silver ingots in this whole room."
In addition to cash, there are also various antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry and jade.
Mrs. Gu liked jade very much, so Ye Jintang took out more than twenty bracelets at a time from the same box.
There are all kinds of jade jewelry, and there are two big boxes.
"No wonder the old woman spent so much money in a year. Such a high-quality tourmaline must have been worth a lot when I bought it."
Ye Jintang took out a string of tourmaline beads from a brocade box. Every bead on it was crystal clear without any cracks.
Moreover, the beads are rich in color and are as beautiful as holding a rainbow in your hand.
The Tianqin Kingdom does not produce tourmalines. This one should come from overseas. Needless to say, the price must be very expensive.
Ye Jintang liked the treasures collected by Mrs. Gu very much. With a wave of his hand, he helped her empty the warehouse without even a single copper plate left.
"Let's go."
Coming out of the house, Ye Jintang only carried a baggage in his hand.
"Master, just take this. Isn't it too little?"
"Don't worry, all the old woman's things belong to me."
Ye Jintang didn't want to say more, so Zhou Wuwei stopped pestering him and took her away from the Gu family first.
Back in his small courtyard, Ye Jintang only counted the cash and found 560,000 taels. Not counting other items, there were so many. If all were counted, it wouldn't be a million taels?
"Let me go, the old woman is so awesome that she saved so much money."
Ye Jintang happily looked at the boxes piled up like a hill, and played with the must-have bracelets in his hand. He couldn't help but feel so happy.
Two days later, news suddenly came from the Gu family that Mrs. Gu had fallen ill.
Ye Jintang thought with a bad intention that Mrs. Gu had been very active in fighting a few days ago, and now she suddenly fell ill. She was afraid that it was related to the theft of her small treasury.
Ye Jintang must retaliate, Mrs. Gu cursed her so much, even Mrs. Wen also scolded her, she felt sorry for her if she didn't cut off Mrs. Gu's flesh.
Mrs. Gu fell ill, so she naturally had no time to come to the Wen family to cause trouble, and her life soon calmed down.
One morning, Ye Jintang was in a good mood and had just finished practicing Baduanjin and was about to learn medical skills with Liuli. Aunt Ji came over to find Ye Jintang, saying that Mr. Wen was looking for her.
Mr. Wen pretended to be sick these days and didn't go out much. He stayed in his yard, writing calligraphy and feeding the koi in the fish tank every day. He still lived a very happy life.
"Grandpa, you are looking for me."
When Ye Jintang came over, Mr. Wen was practicing calligraphy.
"A letter has arrived from Danyang Houfu in the capital."
Mr. Wen handed a letter to Ye Jintang.
The letter was not sealed, only the words Ye Jintang were written on the envelope.
Opening the letter and scanning it at a glance, Ye Jintang sneered inwardly. As expected of Ye Song, he was extremely selfish.
He wrote in the letter that he had been busy with official duties recently and could not spare the time to pick her up back to the Danyang Marquis Mansion. He asked her to stay with the Wen family for a few more days and then pick her up after the busy period.
This may sound like nothing, but Ye Jintang can figure out the reason if he thinks about it carefully.
Ye Song finally accomplished a great feat and happily returned to the capital to prepare to be awarded an official title and receive a reward. However, King Chang Ping gave him a stumbling block. He was afraid that he would be unfair to the official and receive the reward.
As for not wanting to take her back to Danyang Houfu, it probably has something to do with money.
In the original work, the original owner had a lot of money, and Ye Song benefited a lot from it, so he would happily welcome her back to Danyang Hou Mansion.
After all, more than one million taels of silver is not a small amount, even if it is placed in the Danyang Marquis Mansion, it is extremely eye-catching.
And now that Ye Jintang was a little orphan with nothing, Ye Song naturally had no motivation to pick her up.
As for Mrs. Ye, the situation is almost the same. It is naturally different to welcome a granddaughter worth a million taels and a penniless granddaughter.
Speaking of which, Ye Li was not favored in the Danyang Marquis Mansion before, and Ye Jintang had only gone back twice since he was born. Their presence was so low, how could the old lady think of her.
"Jintang, if we find an auspicious day in a few days, I will ask your cousin to take you to the capital in person."
"Don't bother me. I'll let people from the Danyang Marquis Mansion pick me up in person."
Although Ye Jintang does not care about the people of Danyang Houfu, she does care about the money of Danyanghoufu and the identity of Danyanghoufu's legitimate daughter. If she wants to marry the King of Qin in the future, she must be the direct daughter of Danyanghou Palace. If her status is low, she will not be able to be a legitimate daughter. Concubine.
As for whether she goes back by herself or is picked up by people from the Danyang Marquis Mansion, her status in the Danyang Marquis Mansion and in the capital will be very different in the future.
Since she wants to return to Danyang Hou Mansion, she must go back in a legitimate manner, rather than going back silently.
When Mr. Wen saw Ye Jintang's confident look, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He saw Ye Li's youthful appearance in her. He was also so calm when he first came to the Wen family.
"Does Jintang have any good ideas?"
"Of course there is, I just want to trouble cousin Ziqiu."
"Tell me what the idea is."
