Just when Marquis Danyang was proud and everything was going in a good direction.
Who would have thought that when the two children grew up and were about to get married, Xiao Mo would be seriously injured on the battlefield. His legs were injured and he could never stand up again.
Such a prince would definitely not be able to inherit the throne. In the end, Xiao Mo took the initiative to ask Emperor Jing to depose him as prince.
Emperor Jing took pity on him, so he made him the king of Qin, making him the head of all princes.
It would be great if Ye Yanran could be the Princess of Qin.
But since Xiao Mo was injured, his whole person has changed.
He no longer went to court and stayed in the Prince of Qin's mansion all day long. The high-spirited prince he once was was gone forever, replaced by the dissolute and moody Prince of Qin.
In the past few months, I heard that several women had been carried out from King Qin's chamber.
Facing such a King of Qin, how could Marquis Danyang dare to marry his granddaughter?
What Danyang Hou Mansion needs is a helpful King of Qin, not a useless King of Qin.
"As long as the emperor doesn't mention this matter, our power will cease to exist. From now on our Yanran can only be the crown princess."
"It's great that the Marquis thinks so. I'm really afraid that the Marquis wants to agree to this marriage because he exchanged tokens with the Emperor."
Mrs. Ye breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Yanran was both talented and beautiful, and was the most outstanding among the girls in the family.
Whether the Danyang Hou Mansion can prosper in the future depends on how well Ye Yanran marries.
"Don't worry, madam, I'm not that pedantic person either."
"Yanran is not young anymore. We need to make early plans for her marriage. Does the Marquis have any ideas?"
"It seems that the fourth prince is the most popular now, but he is still young after all. The second prince is a little older and has already participated in government affairs. He has concubine Ru and the support of Prime Minister Zuo behind him, so he is very likely to be appointed as the prince."
"Behind the third prince is a great general who governs the country, and he should not be underestimated."
The old Marquis sighed and continued, "Before everything became clear, the Fourth Prince frequently contacted me. Whether I pushed him or not, it was really a headache."
If he stood in the wrong team at this time, it would affect the future development of the entire Danyang Marquis Mansion. He would not dare to act haphazardly.
"I have a plan, I don't know if it will work."
"If you have any ideas, madam, just tell me and listen, just in case you can use them."
Seeing the eager look on the face of Marquis Danyang, Mrs. Ye didn't go around in circles and told him her thoughts.
"Song'er brought Liu Yatou back a few days ago, and he also brought back the ashes of Lao Liu and his wife."
"According to my temper, I would like to scatter the ashes of Lao Liu and his wife directly in the cesspool."
Marquis Danyang on the side smiled slightly awkwardly, "It has been so many years since this happened, so why should I care about it, Madam?"
"In the past many years, I have kept it in my heart. Every time I think of you killing my daughter because of a bitch, I wish I could crush that bitch's son to ashes."
"Hey, madam, how about we not mention this issue?"
Mrs. Ye rolled her eyes at the old Marquis and briefly explained how they were going to be buried in the ancestral grave.
"The Marquis can tell the public that because of Lao Liu's death, the Marquis cannot afford to fall ill. The Marquis can temporarily take leave to recuperate at home."
"As long as the fourth prince is not stupid, he will definitely not win over the Marquis at this time."
"Well, that's a good idea. I'll hand over the book early tomorrow morning to avoid the limelight."
Marquis Danyang also felt that this was a good idea. As long as he did not have too close contact with the fourth prince for the time being, everything would be easy.
The couple talked about other things in the house for a while, but neither of them mentioned Ye Jintang.
It was as if she didn't exist at all.
The news that Mrs. Ye sent two maids to Ye Jintang soon spread throughout the Hou Mansion.
Some people think that Mrs. Ye still values Ye Jintang very much, otherwise she would not send her two second-class maids at once.
Some people could see clearly and knew that Mrs. Ye should have sent two maids to monitor Ye Jintang.
After receiving the news, Mrs. Gan, the eldest daughter-in-law, immediately called Ye Yanran to her room to talk.
"When Ye Jintang first came back, I asked the boy next to your eldest brother to inquire. Ye Song said that Ye Jintang's grandfather should have given her money, but it was just a banknote, and Ye Jintang hid it directly. .”
"I guess the old lady sent two second-class maids to Ye Jintang to find out how much money the Wen family gave Ye Jintang."
"As far as I know, the Xingnan Wen family can be considered a big family, and their family's actions will definitely not be too shabby."
"In the afternoon, take two boxes of snacks and talk to Ye Jintang to see if you can get something out of her."
Ye Yanran nodded. Although she and Ye Jintang only met once, she didn't seem to be particularly scheming. As long as she was determined to find out the information, it wouldn't be difficult to ask.
"Mom, life in our Marquis Mansion is getting worse every year. My eldest brother originally promised me to make me a new set of hair and facial hair, but it ended up being nothing."
"Hey, it was your grandmother who said she wanted to give your eldest brother a sum of money and ask him to take care of it and see if he can get a one-liter promotion at the end of the year."
"Your eldest brother is thinking about you, so he is going to give you some silver to make jewelry."
"But I don't know what went wrong. Your grandmother didn't give you the money, so I had to give up on making jewelry for you."
"We don't have much money in the palace. The expenses in our yard are quite big, and my mother's money is tight. Otherwise, she wouldn't care about the little money in Ye Jintang's hands."
"She is an orphan and has little money to use. Let's appropriate some of it from her first, and then we can provide it to her when you become the Crown Princess and the Queen."
Ye Yanran felt that what Mrs. Gan said made sense.
She and the fourth prince had met several times in private, and they loved each other. A few days ago, the fourth prince invited her to go to White Horse Temple to enjoy plum blossoms.
Going to meet the person she likes, Ye Yanran naturally hopes to dress up beautifully, but there are only a few clothes in her suitcase, and she hasn't bought anything more expensive for a long time.
If she could borrow some money from Ye Jintang first for emergencies, when she has the money in hand later, she would naturally pay it back to her in double the amount.
"My daughter will go in the afternoon. Don't let grandma get there first. If the money gets into grandma's hands, it won't be so easy for us to get it."
The mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled, and did not continue the conversation.
They all knew in their hearts that Mrs. Ye was an iron rooster. If she tried to take out the money once it was in her hands, it would be like killing her.
Every family has its own plans, and Ye Jintang is no exception. Others are planning on the little money in her hand, but she is planning on the money of the entire Hou Mansion.
However, Ye Jintang had just moved in, so he was not in a hurry to empty out Mrs. Ye's warehouse immediately.
The most important thing now is to find out the details of the Hou Mansion.
A few days ago, Ye Jintang asked Lu Zhu to inquire.
Lvzhu went in and out of Jiaomen several times to buy things almost every day, and gradually became familiar with the woman on Jiaomen as she went back and forth.
She knew that she was not very smart, so she didn't dare to ask anything at first. She only talked to the old lady at the corner door about eating and drinking, and occasionally gossiped.
On this day, Luzhu heard that Mrs. Gu's grandson was sick, so she directly gave her 10 taels of silver.
Money can make all the difference, especially when Mrs. Gu is in urgent need of money.
"Mother Gu, my girl is also pitiful. She has no father or mother. Now she only has two relatives left, the old Marquis and the old lady."
"But the old Marquis and the old lady don't seem to care about my girl. Since returning to the Marquis' Mansion, my girl has cried countless times."
