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

Zhou Wuwei was quite good at martial arts, so it took him almost no effort to find out the little money in Old Madam Gu's hands. He found out everything in just two days.

"That old woman is greedy for money. She goes to her small storehouse almost every day to look at the gold, silver and jewelry inside."

"Watch it every day? That's so exaggerated."

"The small treasury is in the dark room behind the old woman's bunk bed. I watched it for two days. Every night before she went to bed, she would chase the maids out and go to the dark room herself."

"This is a bit difficult to handle. If we want to go in without making any noise, I'm afraid it won't be easy."

Ye Jintang was a little distressed. Madam Gu was a very light sleeper at her age, and the slightest sound of footsteps might wake her up.

"We have Sister Liuli. There is no poison we can't make. As long as we give Madam Gu a little bit, even if we empty her warehouse, she probably won't know."

"How could I forget Liuli? Call Liuli over quickly."

Liuli has all kinds of poisons in her hands, which are varied and have all kinds of effects.

Not to mention knocking someone out, even poisoning someone to death and then reviving them immediately, she can do it.

"This is called a sweet dream. Just smell a little bit and you can sleep for 12 hours."

Liuli handed Ye Jintang a finger-long incense stick.

"Being able to sleep for 12 hours is really a good effect. Let Madam Gu have a good dream tonight."

It was late at night, the north wind was blowing, and it was a little cold.

Ye Jintang and Zhou Wuwei sneaked out of the Wen family together and went to the Gu family when no one was around.

The wall of the Gu family’s courtyard was not high, and Zhou Wuwei and Ye Jintang easily climbed over it.

"This is it."

Zhou Wuwei pointed at the window, and Ye Jintang quickly lit the incense stick and threw it in through the window.

About a quarter of an hour later, Zhou Wuwei was on guard outside, and Ye Jintang tiptoed in.

The two maids in the outer room had fallen asleep. Ye Jintang went forward and pushed them, but seeing that they had no response, she went into the inner room.

Old Madam Gu was sleeping soundly in the room. She had no idea that Ye Jintang had quietly come into her room.

Pushing open the wooden door of the darkroom, Ye Jintang lit a tinderbox to illuminate the darkroom.

There were boxes filled with gold, silver and jewelry inside. I opened one at random and found it was full of silver ingots.

"The old woman is really good at amassing wealth. There are dozens of boxes of gold and silver ingots in this whole room."

In addition to cash, there are also various antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry and jade.

Old Madam Gu was very fond of jade, and Ye Jintang took out more than twenty bracelets from the same box at once.

There were two large boxes filled with various kinds of jade jewelry.

"No wonder the old woman spends so much money every year. Such high-quality tourmaline must have been worth a lot of money when it was bought."

Ye Jintang took out a string of tourmaline beads from a brocade box. Each bead was crystal clear without a trace of crack.

Moreover, the beads are rich in color, and holding them in your hand is as beautiful as holding a string of rainbows.

The Tianqin Kingdom does not produce tourmaline. This one should come from overseas. It goes without saying that the price must be very expensive.

Ye Jintang liked the treasures collected by Old Madam Gu very much. With a wave of his hand, he helped her clear out the warehouse, leaving not a single penny behind.

"Let's go."

When Ye Jintang came out of the house, he was holding only a bag in his hand.

"Master, this is just a small amount. Isn't it too little?"

"Don't worry, everything the old woman has is mine."

Ye Jintang didn't want to say more, so Zhou Wuwei stopped pestering her and took her away from the Gu family first.

After returning to his own courtyard, Ye Jintang simply counted the cash and found that there were 56 taels, not including other items. If all were counted, wouldn't it be a million taels?

"Oh my god, this old woman is amazing. She actually saved so much money."

Ye Jintang looked at the boxes piled up like a mountain with joy, and was playing with the bracelet in his hand, feeling extremely happy.

Two days later, news suddenly came from the Gu family that Old Madam Gu had fallen ill.

Ye Jintang thought maliciously that Madam Gu was full of fighting spirit a few days ago, but now she suddenly fell ill. It might be related to the theft of her small treasury.

Ye Jintang was vindictive. Old Madam Gu cursed her so much, and even cursed Madam Wen. She would feel sorry for her if she didn't cut off Old Madam Gu's flesh.

Since Old Madam Gu fell ill, she naturally had no time to come to the Wen family to cause trouble, and life suddenly became quiet.

One morning, Ye Jintang was in a good mood and had just finished practicing Ba Duan Jin. She was about to learn medical skills with Liuli when Nanny Ji came to find Ye Jintang and said that Grandpa Wen was looking for her.

During the days that Mr. Wen pretended to be sick, he hardly went out. He stayed in his own yard, writing calligraphy every day and feeding the koi in the fish tank. He lived a very carefree and happy life.

"Grandfather, you are looking for me."

When Ye Jintang came over, Mr. Wen was practicing calligraphy.

"A letter has arrived from the Danyang Marquisate in the capital."

Mr. Wen handed a letter to Ye Jintang.

The letter was not sealed, only the three words "Ye Jintang" were written on the envelope.

After opening the letter and scanning through it at a glance, Ye Jintang sneered in his heart. He was indeed Ye Song, so selfish to the extreme.

In his letter, he said that he was busy with official duties recently and could not spare the time to come and pick her up back to the Danyang Marquis Mansion. He asked her to stay at the Wen family for a few more days and he would come to pick her up after he was done with this busy period.

This may not sound like a big deal, but if Ye Jintang thinks about it carefully, he can figure out the reason.

Ye Song finally accomplished a great deed, and happily returned to the capital to receive an official title and reward. However, Prince Changping made trouble for him, and he was afraid that the official title and reward would not be safe.

As for not wanting to take her back to the Marquis of Danyang's Mansion, it must have something to do with money.

In the original novel, the original owner had a lot of money, and Ye Song made a lot of benefits from it, so he would naturally be happy to welcome her back to the Danyang Marquis Mansion.

After all, more than one million taels of silver is not a small amount. Even if it is placed in the Danyang Marquis Mansion, it is extremely eye-catching.

Now Ye Jintang is a little orphan with nothing, so Ye Song naturally has no motivation to pick her up.

As for Old Madam Ye, the situation was almost the same. It was naturally different to welcome a granddaughter worth one million taels of silver and a granddaughter who was penniless.

Besides, Ye Li was never favored in the Danyang Marquis' Mansion before, and Ye Jintang had only returned twice since she was born. Their presence was so low, so how could the old lady remember her.

"Jintang, if you want to find an auspicious day in a few days, I will ask your cousin to personally take you to the capital."

"No need to bother. I will ask someone from the Danyang Marquis' Mansion to come and pick me up personally."

Although Ye Jintang was not interested in the people in Danyang Marquis' Mansion, she was interested in its money and her status as the legitimate daughter of Danyang Marquis' Mansion. If she wanted to marry the King of Qin in the future, she had to be the legitimate daughter of Danyang Marquis' Mansion. If her status was lower, she could not become the principal wife.

As for whether she goes back by herself or someone from the Danyang Marquis' Mansion comes to pick her up, it will make a huge difference to her status in the Danyang Marquis' Mansion and in the capital in the future.

Since she wanted to return to the Marquis of Danyang's Mansion, she had to go back with a legitimate reason rather than silently.

When Old Master Wen saw Ye Jintang's confident look, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He saw the young Ye Li in her, and he was also so calm when he first came to the Wen family.

"Does Jintang have any good ideas?"

"Of course I do, but I'll have to trouble cousin Ziqiu."

"Tell me what the idea is."
