Ever since Ye Jintang entered the Hou Mansion, Mrs. Ye had not had a comfortable life for a few days. Every time she saw Ye Jintang, she would be so angry that she would vomit blood.
She still wants to live for a few more years, so she shouldn't be in a hurry to take care of Ye Jintang for a while, but will take care of her later.
"Okay, I'm feeling a little uncomfortable. You all should leave. Grandma Sun told Yanran and the others that there's no need to come to say hello."
"Granddaughter resigns."
When Ye Jintang heard that he could leave, the smile on his face deepened.
Everyone in the room dispersed, leaving only Mrs. Ye and Grandma Sun.
"Mother Sun, why do I feel that Ye Jintang has some evil nature? Even if his mother is the daughter of a merchant, she would not be taught to be like this?"
"The old slave also feels that Miss Six is really weird. No matter how she acts or speaks, she is too straightforward. It is not an exaggeration to say that she has no scruples."
"That's all, that's all. I'd better not let her come to greet me again in the future. If I continue to toss like this, I'm afraid my old bones will be broken by her."
"Old Madam, take a good rest these days. I will send Nanny Lou to Jade Garden to teach the girls the rules of the Marquis Mansion."
"Well, Grandma Lou is an old man in the house, so it would be best to let her take care of Ye Jintang."
After getting up early for two days in a row, Ye Jintang finally didn't have to go to greet Mrs. Ye anymore. She felt a little heavier when she went to bed.
As for the so-called Aunt Lou, she has the final say in Jade Courtyard. If Aunt Lou wants to discipline her, she should wait until she wakes up.
Outside the door, Zhou Cong and Zhou Wuwei were like two door gods, blocking Grandma Lou from outside.
"You two shapeless young men, I am the grandma in charge, how dare you block my way."
"The master hasn't gotten up yet. If there's anything going on with Grandma Lou, I'd better wait until the master gets up."
"The sixth lady hasn't gotten up yet, if this matter spreads out, the sixth lady will be shameless, and our Marquis Mansion will still want it."
"What Aunt Lou said is so strange. As long as people in our courtyard don't spread the word, how will others know when our master will get up?"
"If people in our courtyard really dare to talk nonsense about the master, according to the rules of our courtyard, they will probably be beaten to death with sticks."
Zhou Wuwei said it in an understatement, but Grandma Lou felt a little panicked when she heard it.
"You are such a young boy, you really dare to say all kinds of big things. The slaves in the courtyard are also human beings. You can't just beat them to death with sticks."
"A few days ago, at Wen's house in Xingnan, there was a woman in the backyard who was beaten to death with sticks in front of all the maids in the backyard because she leaked information about my master. If you don't believe me, you can ask other people. "
When Zhou Wuwei said this, he was not only talking to Aunt Lou, but also to the fragrance of lotus not far away.
Yunshuang and Hexiang were both sent here by the old lady. There was no need to mention their purpose, but everyone had some guesses.
If He Xiang really dared to betray Ye Jintang, Zhou Wuwei would be the first to kill her.
Grandma Lou did not expect that Ye Jintang would be punished so severely in the backyard.
Just now, she was arrogantly trying to break through the door, but now she stopped and turned around to leave, no longer entangled with Zhou Wuwei. If the guy in front of her attacked her, she would not be strong enough for him to punch her.
In the room, Ye Jintang had already stood up and started washing up.
"Girl, it stands to reason that Mrs. Ye is the girl's biological grandmother. Even if she prefers other hospitals, she wouldn't treat her like this. It's really strange."
Aunt Zhang handed Ye Jintang a hot handkerchief to wipe his face.
"I'm also very confused as to why Mrs. Ye has always been so cold to our family and why she always troubles me."
The sixth master of the Hou Mansion has been the prefect for more than ten years, which is not normal.
Ye Li is Mrs. Ye's biological son. It would be even more strange that she would not let her son be buried in the ancestral grave after her death.
Treating her so harshly now shows that Mrs. Ye hates their family deeply. If she hadn't used some tricks, she would definitely not take her back to Danyang Marquis Mansion.
etc? Isn't Ye Li Mrs. Ye's biological son?
It only makes sense if you are not biological.
"Luzhu, you are familiar with the lady at the corner gate. You can give them some benefits later and help me find out if my father is Mrs. Ye's biological child."
"ah?"
Luzhu looked shocked.
"What's so surprising about this? It's not impossible for a child born to a favored concubine to be recorded in the name of his legitimate wife."
"What the girl is saying is that soon I will bribe the old lady at the corner door with some food."
"Besides this matter, you also want to help me inquire about the Hou Mansion's daily income and expenses, and whether Mrs. Ye has a treasury."
"this?"
Luzhu was so frightened that Ye Jintang would entrust her with such a difficult task.
"Go and ask boldly. You are the most honest among the maids around me. If you go and ask, no one will be suspicious no matter how you ask."
"Okay, I screwed up, and the girl can't blame me."
"Well, just go ahead."
As for Mrs. Ye, Ye Jintang has been causing trouble for her in the past few days, which makes her feel very uncomfortable.
But the culprit of all this, Mr. Hou, was not affected at all. Yesterday he even asked two famous actors to perform in his yard.
As soon as Mrs. Ye walked outside the old Marquis' study, she heard the melodious sound of the guqin coming from inside.
"Master Hou is really in a good mood. He listens to music and watches the theater all day long, and he has such a happy life."
"Because of what happened at court, I felt depressed, so I asked two people to play a song to relieve the depression in my heart."
Mrs. Ye glared at the two famous actors fiercely, and the old Marquis quickly waved his hand to let them go out.
When he was young, the old Marquis was obviously a general who fought on the battlefield. To this day, Mrs. Ye still remembers how handsome he looked astride his tall horse on the day he returned in triumph.
But the young general she once liked has become more and more unfamiliar to him.
The young man brought the teacup, and Mrs. Ye took a sip of tea slowly before asking, "Could it be a matter of establishing the crown prince?"
"Well, the former prince was deposed as King of Qin because of his leg disease. It took several months. Many ministers in the court hope that the emperor can appoint the prince as soon as possible to stabilize the people's support."
"The fourth prince is the loudest voice now, but the emperor is still unwilling to let go. Some courtiers wantonly speculate on the emperor's thoughts, thinking that the emperor is not optimistic about the fourth prince. Some people even proposed to appoint the ninth prince as the crown prince."
"Isn't this nonsense? The Ninth Prince is only a few years old, how can he take on such a big responsibility?"
Which prince becomes the crown prince will directly affect the future path of the Danyang Marquis Mansion, which makes the old Marquis quite troubled by this.
"There is no rush about who will become the prince. The emperor is still young. Who knows that in a few years, the emperor will like that prince, and maybe a new queen will be appointed."
"The most urgent thing is that the Marquis should first think about what to do about the engagement."
Marquis Danyang went to the battlefield with Emperor Jing when he was young. It can be said that the two had a lifelong friendship.
After Emperor Jing ascended the throne, he exchanged tokens with Marquis Danyang and arranged a marriage between the two families.
But Marquis Danyang was many years older than Emperor Jing, and the two parties never had a suitable child to complete the engagement.
It wasn't until the first empress gave birth to Xiao Mo and Marquis Danyang's granddaughter was born that the matter was mentioned again by the two of them.
Xiao Mo was also extremely favored at that time and was soon made the crown prince.
Marquis Danyang was extremely happy at that time. As long as his two children grew up, his family Yanran would become the crown princess, and the entire Marquis Danyang mansion would follow suit.
