He Xiang calmed down and quickly thought about what Ye Jintang said, how much she could believe it.
Logically speaking, with Ye Jintang's status in Danyang Houfu, it would be almost impossible for her to help her.
But looking back on some of the things that happened after she returned to Danyang Hou Mansion, it seemed that Ye Jintang was not favored on the surface.
She lived in the courtyard, where she could eat and drink, and the maids and women who served her were no worse than the other legitimate daughters in the Hou family.
Even her treatment in the Hou Mansion is better than that of other legitimate daughters. The other girls in the Hou Mansion have to go to the old lady to pay their respects every day, but she doesn't need it. She sleeps until midnight every day, and the old lady doesn't care about her. Method.
After thinking for a moment, He Xiang was ready to make a bet. As long as she won the bet, her life in the Hou Mansion would be very easy. Even if she lost the bet, she would just not be able to keep the child in her belly.
"Sixth Miss, I don't know what you can do to allow me to give birth to the child in my belly smoothly. The Second Young Master has not married yet, so the old lady will definitely not agree to let me, a maid of humble origin, give birth to the eldest son of the second Young Master."
"Everything is human-made, but you have to listen to my orders. If you don't believe me and are even wary of me, then we'd better not cooperate, lest it cost you your life."
Ye Jintang drank the brown sugar ginger tea in her hand casually. She was very sure that He Xiang would definitely cooperate with her for her future status.
The more wealthy a family is, the more they pay attention to it.
If Ye Rui is the eldest grandson, this matter will be somewhat troublesome, but he is just an unmotivated playboy of the fourth generation. Even if he gives birth to the eldest son of a concubine, it will not have a substantial impact on the Hou family. At most, he will have a bad reputation.
"Everything will follow Miss Six's orders."
He Xiang finally chose to cooperate with Ye Jintang. She had had enough of being a maid
I don't want to live like this for a day.
"This matter is not difficult to say, nor is it easy to say. The key point is that you have to capture Ye Rui's heart. As long as he is of the same mind as you and listens to you in everything, it will not be difficult for you to give birth to your eldest son. "
"Sixth Miss doesn't know that the Second Young Master has two maidservants besides me. As long as he is of the same mind as me, he won't want me to keep the child in my belly."
Speaking of Ye Ruilai, He Xiang's heart is full of bitterness.
The huge Danyang Marquis Mansion has never been short of beautiful maids. Before Ye Rui became good with her, he had two pretty maids who were married to him, and they were deeply liked by Ye Rui.
If she hadn't had some tricks up her sleeve, she probably wouldn't have been able to win his attention at all.
"I wonder if you have ever heard of Gu insects."
"Girl, are you talking about the art of witchcraft?"
"Exactly, I know a way to make the man you love completely listen to you. As long as Ye Rui takes the lover's poison, no matter how many women are around him in the future, he will only treat you wholeheartedly."
"Sixth Miss, are you trying to trick me? How could there be such a powerful witchcraft in this world?"
"Why don't we give it a try? If Ye Ruizhen listens to you in everything, it means that the Lover's Gu I gave you is real."
He Xiang didn't think twice this time and agreed immediately.
Anyway, it was Ye Rui who took the Lover's Gu, so even if something went wrong and she died, it would be Ye Rui who died, and she would not lose anything.
Even if Ye Rui died, the child in her belly would be his only bloodline, so she might still be able to gain the status of a head wife.
Hexiang was going to Dongyu Town in the afternoon, and Ye Jintang quickly asked Liuli to fix the lover's poison and let her take it away.
In less than an hour, Hexiang returned to White Horse Temple very happily.
"Miss Six, the matter is settled. The Second Young Master immediately agreed to let the slave give birth to the child after taking the lover's poison."
"At this moment, the second young master is already in Dongyu Town, helping the slave find a yard to raise the baby. He said that he would mention this to the old lady during the Chinese New Year and take the slave back to the Marquis Mansion to raise the baby."
When He Xiang spoke, she was very excited. She never thought that there was such a magical witchcraft in the world.
"That's good. You can go to Dongyu Town to raise your baby without worries. You don't have to worry about me here."
Ye Jintang said this, and He Xiang naturally understood that if the old lady wanted to challenge Ye Jintang, she might not be able to do it, but at the moment she couldn't take care of herself, so how could she care about Madam Ye's affairs.
"Everything depends on Miss Six."
Hexiang didn't stay at the White Horse Temple for long, and left in a hurry after explaining the matter clearly. She was a little old now and had caught a cold, so she had to take good care of her.
After sending the lotus fragrance away, Ye Jintang relaxed and leaned on the soft pillow. She didn't come to Mabai Temple to suffer. Now that she has removed all the eyeliner, she can finally do her own thing.
"Oh, no one is watching us now."
"Liu Li, when will we go to the mountains to try our luck and see if we can find the Snow Jade Mushroom? I've been thinking about it."
"Does the girl really want to prepare Jade Face Cream? It requires more than a dozen precious medicinal materials, and the quality requirements for each medicinal material are extremely strict. If the quality is slightly inferior, the effect of the Jade Face Cream will be greatly reduced. "
"Don't worry, as long as we can find snow jade mushrooms, other medicinal materials are not a problem. I have already asked the monks at Baima Temple. There are snow jade mushrooms on Dongyu Mountain behind me. Let's go there and try our luck. Maybe we can actually pick them. "
"If there is no one of suitable quality, I will ask Zhou Cong to go to the major pharmacies in the capital to see if he can buy it."
Snow jade mushroom is a kind of mushroom that likes to grow in ice and snow. The colder it is, the better the quality is. It is very common in northern mountain forests, but storage and transportation are troublesome, and there are relatively few on the market.
"Why don't we go tomorrow? It's gloomy outside, and it looks like it's going to snow again. The quality of the snow jade mushrooms after the heavy snow will be better."
Ye Jintang looked outside and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it really snows in the winter in the capital.
"Girl, I was afraid that it would be cold in your house, so I brought you some charcoal."
Grandma Lou very thoughtfully brought over a basket of fine silver charcoal.
"Mama Lou is busy. I don't need to serve you here. You can go and have a rest."
"Serving girls is what an old slave should do. Girl, there is a slightly better courtyard in White Horse Temple. Girl, do you want to change it? This dormitory is really crude and not suitable for girls to live in."
"Oh, how do you say this?"
Ye Jintang looked suspicious. She really didn't know that dormitories in a temple could be divided into three, six, and nine grades.
"Young lady, you don't know. Every year, the Hou Mansion has thousands or even tens of thousands of taels of silk for sesame oil. If the old lady comes to offer incense, the White Horse Temple will naturally give the old lady the upper courtyard to live in."
"Oh, can I exchange it now? Do you want me to get some extra money?"
"The Hou family gets so much money for sesame oil every year. Naturally, the girl doesn't need the money. It's just a few items in the house. The girl has to buy them herself."
Although Grandma Lou didn't say this clearly, Ye Jintang could vaguely hear that the old lady might not take her back to the Marquis Mansion for a while.
"Let's go and see how much better this better Upper House is."
Ye Jintang stood up, put on a thick cloak, and followed Grandma Lou to see the yard.
