It is neither difficult nor easy to ask the Danyang Marquisate to pick her up.

It would be impossible for Ye Song to find someone to persuade Old Madam Ye. She had no connection with the people in Danyang Marquis' Mansion, so naturally she couldn't find anyone to speak for her.

Then we can only rely on external forces.

As the saying goes, words are like a knife, which can sometimes kill people without anyone noticing.

Ye Jintang wanted to use rumors to force the Danyang Marquisate to take her back.

"Just let cousin Ziqiu spread the story of my family in the capital. The family of Governor Ye died tragically, leaving behind an orphan girl. The more miserable the story is, the better. For the sake of face, the Marquis of Danyang will definitely take me back immediately."

The reputation of the Marquis' Mansion is more important than life. Old Madam Ye will definitely not let people in the capital stab the Marquis' Mansion in the back just because of a girl named Ye Jintang.

"Great! Danyang Marquis's Mansion will definitely come to pick you up as soon as possible to quell the rumors due to the rumors."

"Exactly."

"I'll have Zi Qiu send someone to the capital right away."

"Well, we must find someone smart, and we must not let anyone catch us by the hair."

"Don't worry, Ziqiu is always considerate."

This matter was handed over to Wen Ziqiu. Ye Jintang estimated that the Danyang Marquis' Mansion would send someone in half a month at most.

She felt somewhat sad at the thought of leaving the Wen family.

The old man Wen in front of him was quite old, and the two of them parted ways, and it was hard to say whether they would meet again in the future.

"Grandfather, I'm a little reluctant to leave you."

"Silly child, going to Danyang Marquis's Mansion is your best choice. Grandfather is happy for you from the bottom of his heart."

"You must take good care of yourself. Your granddaughter will come back to see you in the future."

"well."

The grandfather and grandson didn't talk about this topic for too long. They soon changed the subject and talked about Grandpa Wen's recent hobby.

It takes at least half a month to travel from Xingnan City to the capital and back. Before any news came from the capital, Gu Wan'er was taken away by Old Madam Gu.

The Gu and Wen families are now at loggerheads. Before Mrs. Gu fell ill, she had come to make trouble with Mr. Wen several times, but it was all in vain. The Wen family is determined to clear things up with the Gu family.

Later, she fell seriously ill again. Coupled with the dirty things happening in Gu Xiucai's backyard, she became disheartened and simply stopped caring about the Gu family, letting them fend for themselves.

The marriage match that Wen Ziqiu had found for Gu Wan'er was almost correct. This time, Gu Wan'er would stay at the Gu family for a while and then marry Mr. Zhang.

Before leaving, Gu Wan'er reluctantly held Ye Jintang's hand and talked for a long time.

The two of them parted ways, and they were afraid that they would never have the chance to meet again. Gu Wan'er felt very sad.

"Don't cry, cousin. All good things must come to an end. If you have the chance in the future, you can come to the capital to find me."

"Well, Jintang, take care of yourself. No matter what difficulties you encounter in Danyang Marquis's Mansion in the future, you must look forward. Good days are ahead."

Gu Wan'er waved to Ye Jintang, turned around, got on the carriage and left.

"Miss Gu is actually a nice person."

Liuli stood behind Ye Jintang and whispered softly.

"My cousin has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. I hope she can find a good partner in the future."

Not long after Gu Wan'er left, the letter from the Danyang Marquis' Mansion finally arrived at the Wen family.

"Grandfather, you see, I'm right, right? For the sake of face, the Danyang Marquisate will also find a way to take me, a burdensome granddaughter, back home."

Ye Jintang handed the letter in his hand to Mr. Wen.

The letter said that in seven or eight days, Ye Song would come to the Wen family in person to pick up Ye Jintang and take her back to the Danyang Marquis Mansion, and asked her to pack her luggage early. Ye Song would not stay in Xingnan City and would leave on the same day.

Looking at the arrangements made by the Marquis of Danyang's Mansion, Old Master Wen felt a chill in his heart.

In the eyes of the Ye family, the Wen family is just a merchant family, and Ye Song is too lazy to be polite to the Wen family.

If the Wen family had produced someone with achievements, they would not be looked down upon by the Ye family.

"Jintang, grandpa has prepared some things for you. You must take them to the Danyang Marquis' Mansion, so as not to be looked down upon by them."

Nanny Ji, who was serving on the side, handed Ye Jintang a gift list, which detailed the gifts that Mr. Wen gave to Ye Jintang and the old lady of the Danyang Marquis' Mansion.

The gift list was more than one meter long. Ye Jintang roughly calculated that it was worth at least 500,000 or 600,000 taels of silver.

When Madam Wen got married, she took away most of the Wen family's property. Now that Old Man Wen has taken out so much money again, he just hopes that Ye Jintang will not suffer in the Danyang Marquis' Mansion.

"Grandfather, I can't take anything from the Wen family anymore. My mother's dowry is still in my hands. How much can I spend by myself? You can keep this money for your retirement and don't worry about me."

"Danyang Marquis's Mansion is not like our ordinary family. Your daily expenses will definitely be high after you go there."

"You also need to take care of all kinds of interpersonal relationships, and each of them requires money. If you keep more money with you, your grandfather will feel more at ease."

Ye Jintang really wanted to tell Mr. Wen that she was not short of money.

But seeing the worried look on Old Man Wen's face, she still accepted the money obediently, but she didn't want the things.

"Grandfather, the Marquis of Danyang Mansion looks down on the Wen family, and naturally looks down on the Wen family's money. I won't take the things you gave to the old lady."

"this?"

Old Master Wen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he felt that what she said made some sense.

Seeing that Ye Jintang was a woman of her own ideas, Mr. Wen did not force her to accept the gifts. Instead, he converted them all into silver and let her keep them for herself.

"There are many rules in the Danyang Marquis' Mansion. You should listen to Nanny Zhang and Nanny Liu. Don't make your own decisions on everything."

"Don't worry, Grandfather. I've heard many stories from the maids about what happened in the inner house."

Wen Ziqiu knew that Ye Jintang would be leaving in a few days, so he stayed at home for several days to help Ye Jintang pack his luggage.

When Ye Jintang came, he only brought a box of clothes, but when he left, he had two more horse-drawn carriages carrying luggage.

Ye Jintang really wondered if Wen Ziqiu was going to let her take the entire Wen family away if the carriage could accommodate them.

"Cousin, you've given me so many things, and I really can't take these."

Ye Jintang felt helpless as he looked at the dozen or so pieces of cloth.

"The Danyang Marquis's Mansion is not like the Wen family. Even a maid there is dressed better than the noble ladies in our city."

"I will prepare some more good cloth for you. If the Danyang Marquisate does not buy you more clothes, you have money to buy yourself some clothes."

"When it comes to food, clothing and daily expenses, you must not be any less expensive than the other daughters of the Marquis of Danyang."

"If you don't have enough silver, or want to buy something expensive, you can send someone to take this jade pendant to the Baolan Silver Shop in the capital to withdraw silver. As long as it's less than 10,000 taels, the shopkeeper will give you cash directly."

Wen Ziqiu stuffed a gold and jade plaque into Ye Jintang's hand.

One side of the jade plaque is carved with peony flowers, and the other side is carved with many complicated patterns, with the word "Autumn" in the middle of the patterns.

"Cousin, I can't have this."

"I told you to take it, so you took it. I'm not asking you to take it to the silver shop to withdraw money every day, but it's for emergency use."

"I hope you never have to use it."

Things had come to this point, Ye Jintang naturally couldn't refuse anymore and had to stay.

She didn't like to owe favors to others, but the favor owed by the Wen family was so great that she couldn't repay it with just a few ginsengs.

After much thought, Ye Jintang planted a lot of precious medicinal herbs in the space overnight. Now these are the only herbs she can take out.
