Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

Liuli quickly brought the medicine box into the house and helped Gu Waner clean the wound and apply medicine.

"Don't let the wound get wet these few days. I'll change the bandages for you every evening to make sure there won't be any scars left on your arm."

"Thank you Miss Liuli."

Gu Wan'er looked at her arm wrapped in gauze and tears fell down her face. No one had cared about her for many years since her mother passed away.

"Hey, cousin, don't cry. If you have any difficulties, I will help you find a solution."

"Now I have nowhere to go. My grandmother said yesterday that if I can't marry cousin Ziqiu, she will make me marry an old man as a concubine."

"People find ways to find their way out of this world. I do have a way to prevent you from marrying someone else as a concubine, but it's just a delaying tactic."

"If you want to solve the fundamental problem, you still need to make your own decision."

Gu Wan'er, who was in a very depressed mood, suddenly brightened up her eyes when she heard Ye Jintang say this.

"Jintang, please tell me quickly what this delaying tactic is. Just give me some time and I will definitely find a way to marry myself off."

When he heard the word "get married", Ye Jintang understood that Gu Wan'er still pinned all her hopes on getting married.

She smiled bitterly in her heart, it turned out that ancient women had different ideas from hers.

In Gu Waner's view, marriage is the fundamental way to save her.

She just wanted to outlive the King of Qin and be beautiful alone.

Ye Jintang didn't dwell on the matter and just expressed his thoughts directly.

"Liuli, I remember you told me there was a kind of medicine that would make people look very bad, as if they were seriously ill."

"It's Molan powder. This medicine is toxic and cannot be taken for a long time."

"Do you want me to pretend to be sick so that my grandmother can't marry me to County Magistrate Yang?"

"That's right. I believe that no matter who gets married, they don't want to marry a sickly woman."

"You can also take advantage of your illness to find yourself a good partner."

"When you're satisfied, you can ask cousin Zi Qiu and my grandfather to help you arrange the marriage."

"I believe they are still willing to help you."

Ye Jintang's words rekindled hope in Gu Waner's heart.

She excitedly took Ye Jintang's hand and said, "Thank you, Jintang. If you hadn't given me advice, I would have been dead."

“No matter how difficult the road ahead is, you must persevere. The only person who can save you is yourself.”

"Well, as long as there is a glimmer of hope to survive, I will not give up."

That night, Gu Waner took the Molan powder. As she was injured, she had a fever early the next morning and went to see a doctor.

When Mr. Wen heard that Gu Wan'er was ill, he was very worried, so he took Wen Ziqiu to see her.

When the two of them went there, Ye Jintang was there too.

"Jintang, I have something to talk to you about. Please come with me to the study."

Ye Jintang was puzzled. Why did Mr. Wen suddenly come to her?

There was a strong scent of ink in Mr. Wen’s study, and there were half-written calligraphy and paintings on the table.

"Yesterday Ziqiu told me about his relationship with Wan'er. He refused firmly. He even refused to let Wan'er become his second wife."

"I didn't expect Wan'er to get so angry that he fell ill."

"Go ahead and persuade Wan'er to be more open-minded. You can't force feelings."

As he spoke, Old Master Wen sighed and said that he had to make a decision sooner rather than later. The longer it was delayed, the worse it would be for the two children.

"Grandfather, do you know that Madam Gu forced my cousin to marry an old man as a concubine?"

"I know. She even used this to threaten me. But the Gu family is in such a mess. If they were to get involved with Ziqiu, it would be difficult for Ziqiu to gain a foothold in the Wen family in the future."

"My grandfather didn't agree to this marriage from the beginning. It's a good thing that Ziqiu rejected Wan'er in person now."

After hearing what Mr. Wen said, Ye Jintang no longer concealed the matter of Mrs. Gu and Gu Wan'er, and explained the whole cause and effect.

Even the fact that Gu Wan'er pretended to be sick was mentioned.

"this?"

Old Master Wen slammed the table angrily.

"That old woman usually comes to the Wen family to ask for money. I turn a blind eye to it for the sake of our brother-sister relationship."

"She is so arrogant that she wants to get the money in your hand. How can she have the nerve to do that?"

"Does she feel that you are easy to bully because your parents are gone? I am still alive."

Old Master Wen was really angry. He only had one granddaughter, Ye Jintang, and this bloodline was something he treated like the apple of his eye. How could she dare to covet the little money in her hands?

"Jintang, don't be afraid. With your grandfather here, no one can take advantage of you."

"Madam Ji, please replace the maids and servants in Jintang Courtyard with some more guarded servants, so that they won't dare to spread anything."

"And that old woman who betrayed her master should be beaten to death with sticks. Our Wen family will not tolerate such slaves."

"Give those old women in the backyard a good beating. If anyone dares not to see who has the final say in the Wen family, don't blame me for not considering the relationship between master and servant."

When Nanny Ji saw that Old Man Wen was angry, she was so scared that she dared not say a single word. After receiving the order, she left immediately.

"Grandfather, Madam Gu is even thinking about my little money. The Wen family has been stuck with her, and I'm afraid it's not been easy these years."

Before Mr. Wen could say anything, Wen Ziqiu pushed the door open and spoke first.

"I have mentioned it more than once or twice, grandfather, for the sake of the Gu family."

"A few days ago, you asked me to clean up the mess of the Gu family again. Now everyone in Xingnan City knows that as long as Gu Xiucai makes trouble, our Wen family will help."

"Everyone is laughing at our Wen family, saying that we are a bunch of grudges."

Ye Jintang chuckled and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"It is only natural to help relatives in need, but this is the first time I have seen this after decades of poverty alleviation efforts."

Ye Jintang looked at Grandpa Wen with a smile, and dared to say anything.

"Ah, I can't help it. Back then, your great aunt married into the Gu family because she thought that Scholar Gu would become successful in the future and let your great aunt become an official's wife. Who could have thought that he would be a scholar all his life and not even pass the imperial examination."

"Everyone in the family feels sorry for your great aunt, so they are helping her out."

"After a long time, she took it all for granted."

Old Master Wen was also helpless. He only had this one sister, and she didn't marry well, so he felt somewhat guilty.

"Grandfather, you have taken care of the Gu family for decades. Isn't that enough? Do you want my cousin to continue to take care of the Gu family's descendants?"

"Then don't let your cousin inherit the family business. Just give the Wen family to the Gu family, so that your cousin doesn't have to work for the Gu family for nothing."

Ye Jintang looked at Wen Ziqiu and blinked, asking him to say something quickly. As long as Mr. Wen gave in, Madam Gu would be finished.

"What my cousin said is absolutely right."

Wen Ziqiu gave Ye Jintang a thumbs up. He had wanted to say these words to Old Man Wen for a long time, but he kept putting it off because he was concerned about his face and family ties.

Today, we can take advantage of this opportunity to bring things to the surface and resolve them all at once.
