The matter finally came to light, and Ye Jintang was very excited, as she was one step closer to marrying King Qin.
"As expected of Aunt Liu, she accomplished such a difficult task in a short time."
"Girl, did Aunt Liu tell me how she delivered the pregnancy pill?"
"It is said that there was a maid named Ling'er in Ye Yanran's yard. Her brother was fond of gambling and owed a lot of debt. Grandma Liu gave him 200 taels of silver and asked Ling'er's brother to help with the matchmaking. It didn't take much trouble. Send me the pregnancy pills."
Ye Jintang handed the letter in his hand to Liuli and asked her to read it too.
In the original work, it was a year later that Ye Yanran became pregnant with the fourth prince's child. After this year, many things happened, and the relationship between Danyang Houfu and Prince Changping became even worse.
When the news about Ye Yanran and the fourth prince came out, King Changping immediately mentioned the marriage contract between Danyang Houfu and Emperor Jing.
King Changping's original intention was to embarrass the Danyang Hou Mansion and charge them with the crime of bullying the emperor.
Later, Emperor Jing still favored Danyang Houfu and the fourth prince, and finally let the original owner accept the engagement and marry into the Prince of Qin's Palace.
Ye Jintang was a little worried. She had advanced the time by nearly a year. What if King Chang Ping couldn't help? After all, the two families are just fighting secretly now and have not yet broken up.
No one mentioned the engagement, so even if she had all the skills, it would be in vain.
Ye Jintang once felt the difficulty of being powerless and unable to do anything.
Suddenly Jiang Zhi's appearance appeared in her mind.
If she really gets to that point, maybe she can ask Jiang Zhi for help, but she doesn't know if this man who has thoughts about her will really help her.
However, she couldn't put all her treasure in Jiang Zhi's hands. She still had to tease King Chang Ping, who was the main force.
Ye Jintang was in White Horse Temple thinking about how to start a bloody storm in the capital. Mrs. Ye, who was far away in the capital, had not yet recovered from the last catastrophe. She was having a rough time this year.
Except for her appearance at the family banquet on New Year's Eve, Mrs. Gan was the one attending all the other banquets in the Hou Mansion. Mrs. Ye continued to thank guests behind closed doors and pretended to be sick without seeing anyone.
Mrs. Ye usually likes to be lively, but the sudden silence in her yard is really torturous for her.
It was not until the first lunar month that Mrs. Ye announced that she was mostly recovered from her illness and gradually began to move around the capital.
There were some rumors about her harsh treatment of Ye Jintang, but she pretended not to know about it. She even pretended to be a kind grandmother in front of others on several occasions, saying that Ye Jintang lost her parents at a young age, and she, as a grandmother, would look after her. A good marriage will ensure that she will have no worries about food and clothing in the future.
Mrs. Ye forcibly exposed the matter, and the entire Danyang Hou Mansion suddenly unified their stance. No one mentioned Ye Jintang, as if there had never been such a person in the Hou Mansion.
Ye Jintang, who was far away in White Horse Temple, was not surprised at all when he received such news.
Mrs. Ye originally sent her to White Horse Temple just to boil the frog in warm water and slowly dilute her sense of existence.
After waiting for a long time, everyone forgot about her. Mrs. Ye quietly disposed of her without anyone noticing, and naturally no one would ask.
"Mama Liu said that the old lady and Grandma Sun seemed to be secretly visiting her husband's family recently. She asked the girl to make plans early so that the old lady would not be caught off guard."
Ye Jintang was somewhat surprised to hear what Zhou Wuwei said.
It wasn't long after the first lunar month, but Mrs. Ye couldn't wait to deal with her. Was she too impatient?
There are still many rumors about her in the capital. At this time, if she forces her to marry off, aren't you afraid that she will turn the capital upside down?
"Mother Liu, can you tell me what family the old lady is showing me?"
Ye Jintang leaned on the soft couch, looking indifferent, but Zhou Wuwei beside him was almost furious.
"I don't know what the old lady was thinking. She showed her master an old man in his 40s and asked the girl to fill in the house."
"Oh, it's not that simple, right? If it's just an ordinary family, they can't afford to let me fill in the house."
"It seems that he is a third-rank official, but no matter what rank he is, he is still too old. The old lady does this because she does not want the face of Danyang Houfu."
Seeing Zhou Wuwei's angry look, Ye Jintang laughed softly.
"The reputation of the Danyang Marquis Mansion also depends on where it is placed. If it is placed in front of a third-grade official, it will not count."
The Danyang Marquis Mansion just sounds good to the ears. The old Marquis no longer has real power in his hands, which is far inferior to the real power held by other third-rank officials.
Ye Jintang was like a human spirit. She probably guessed that Madam Ye wanted to sell her granddaughter when she mentioned the other party's rank and age.
Even if a third-grade official marries to fill a house, he will not be too stingy. At least a large amount of betrothal gift will not escape.
From now on, the two families will be in-laws, and they will naturally help each other in whatever matters arise.
No matter how you look at it, this deal is quite cost-effective.
It's a pity that Mrs. Ye's plan is to draw water from a bamboo basket in vain.
When Ye Yanran's pregnancy comes out, she may not have time to keep an eye on her.
"Wuwei, how's the business going with Shopkeeper Su?"
"Always good."
"This is the medicine list that shopkeeper Su asked me to bring to the girl."
Zhou Wuwei handed over a thick stack of medicine orders. Ye Jintang only weighed the weight of the medicine orders and couldn't help but sigh. It had only been two months since she opened the medicine shop, but it was so unexpected that the business was so good. .
The two were talking in the room when they saw Grandma Lou bringing a bowl of bird's nest porridge for her to drink.
Zhou Wuwei raised his head and looked at Grandma Lou, and asked a little strangely, "What's wrong with Grandma Lou's face? Why does it look different from what I've seen before."
Ye Jintang, who was drinking porridge, smiled proudly and said, "Does Grandma Lou look much younger than before?"
"Exactly, he looks ten years younger."
"That's right."
Grandma Lou on the side was praised so much, and her face burst into laughter.
She reached out and touched her slightly slippery cheeks and said, "I used the jade cream given by the girl to become younger."
"Is Jade Cream so magical?"
Zhou Wuwei looked at Grandma Lou carefully. Her complexion was much better than before, and the wrinkles and freckles on her face were much lighter.
"Speaking of Jade Face Cream, when you go down the mountain in a moment, Wuwei, take a few cans to Shopkeeper Su. Tell him about what you saw about Grandma Lou today, and he should be able to understand. What’s great.”
"As for the price, let him sell it for 1,000 taels of silver per box, even if it's less than a copper coin."
"Master, how can it be so expensive? The best ginseng only costs this much."
"Even thousand-year-old ginseng cannot reduce the wrinkles on the faces of ladies, but my jade cream can. As long as the effect is good enough, even if I sell it for 2,000 taels a box, someone will still sell it."
"There are still a lot of wealthy families in the capital."
Zhou Wuwei thought to himself, not to mention the jade cream for wiping his face, even the clothes he wore cost thousands of taels each.
