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

Before Ye Jintang could think any more, Nanny Sun came out and led a few girls into the house.

There are many rules in the Danyang Marquis Mansion. Several girls lined up according to their age and came forward to pay their respects to the old lady. Then Ye Yanran, as the legitimate granddaughter, came forward to serve the old lady.

Old Madam Ye, who was already unhappy, felt her head buzzing when she looked up at Ye Jintang in white.

"Jintang, this is the first time you come to pay your respects to me. Who are you showing off your white clothes to? Who are you trying to bring bad luck to?"

Old Madam Ye picked up the tea handed to her by Ye Yanran and threw it at Ye Jintang's feet.

The other girls in the room were startled, but none of them dared to scream.

"Grandma, please calm down. My granddaughter's parents just passed away a few months ago. I am in mourning and naturally dare not wear clothes of other colors. I hope you can understand."

Ye Jintang was like a little punched bag. He walked forward obediently, bowed, and apologized to the old lady.

Old Madam Ye wanted to show off her power, but was stopped by her words. Looking at Ye Jintang's cautious look, she felt like a big stone was pressing on her chest, and she was almost killed by the pain.

Tianqin has its own rules.

An unmarried girl has to observe mourning for her deceased parents for a year before she can get married. As for the plain clothes she wears, she has to wear them for three full years. Even after getting married, she still has to wear plain clothes.

Ye Jintang's words were flawless and there was no way to find any problems with them. Even if Old Madam Ye wanted to get angry, she had to endure it.

"Don't greet me in the future. New Year is coming soon. It's really unlucky for you to wear white clothes all day long."

"Yes."

Ye Jintang took a step forward and continued, "Grandma, my granddaughter has something else to ask."

"I will bring my parents' ashes back to Beijing this time. As for whether my parents can be buried in the Ye family's ancestral tomb, it is up to my grandmother to decide."

"Your parents both died in accidents. I have consulted a Taoist priest a long time ago and found that it is not easy for them to be buried in the Ye family's ancestral tomb. I will ask your uncle to help find a cemetery and choose an auspicious day before the New Year so that your parents can rest in peace as soon as possible."

Ye Jintang was a little dumbfounded. Madam Ye’s refusal was really decisive.

"Grandmother, that Taoist priest is talking nonsense. If those who died an unnatural death are not worthy of entering the ancestral tomb, then those soldiers who fought on the battlefield cannot return to their hometowns. They can just be buried anywhere after they die in battle."

"Grandma, you must not be fooled by those fake Taoist priests."

Old Madam Ye looked at Ye Jintang with anger, wishing she could tear her apart alive. There were so many grandchildren in the family, but none of them dared to talk back to her. Today, Ye Jintang came over and made her unhappy one after another, and she finally couldn't help but explode.

"Ye Jintang, you need to look carefully. This is the Danyang Marquis's residence. A little girl like you has no right to speak. Get out of here."

When the other girls in the room saw how angry Madam Ye was, the younger ones' eyes turned red.

Even Ye Yanran, who was usually favored, didn't dare to say a word at this moment.

Ye Jintang was not afraid at all. She knew very well that with her current status, if she wanted to confront the wife of the Marquis of Danyang Mansion head-on, it would undoubtedly be like hitting a rock with an egg. So she decided to take an unconventional approach and use a roundabout tactic.

"Grandma, it's all my fault. Please calm down."

Ye Jintang bit the tip of her tongue hard, and the piercing pain made her burst into tears instantly.

"I don't really care whether my parents are buried in the ancestral tomb. I just let my grandmother decide."

"But when I was in Yuezhou, Lord Jiang, the Left Deputy Inspector of the Metropolitan Censorate, said that my father had been the prefect of Yuezhou for many years and had made very good achievements. He asked his granddaughter to bring my parents' ashes back to the capital and bury them in the ancestral tomb as soon as possible. He also said that after my parents were buried, he would come to pay tribute to them."

"I think that Lord Jiang is in a high position and has great power, so we must be careful in dealing with him. That's why I hope that Grandmother can bury my parents in the ancestral tomb as soon as possible and put an end to this matter."

Ye Jintang spoke seriously, and didn't look like he was faking it.

But she thought to herself, I'm sorry, Jiang Zhi, I'm just using your skin for a while.

Old Madam Ye, who was so angry that she almost strangled Ye Jintang to death, calmed down instantly when she heard the word "Censorate".

What is the Censorate? It is a knife in the emperor's hand.

If we offend the people from the Censorate because of this matter, it would be more trouble than gain.

But she felt very uncomfortable when she asked Old Madam Ye to agree to let Ye Li and his wife be buried in the ancestral tomb.

Suddenly, Nanny Sun next to her came forward and whispered a few words.

"You guys go back first. Jintang will go wait outside. Let me think about this."

The girls were already frightened, and when they heard the old lady's order, they immediately turned around and left.

Only when Ye Yanran walked out, she gave Ye Jintang a meaningful look. She was not liked by the old lady on the first day she met her, so what if she was pretty?

Ye Jintang, who was chased to sit in the outer room, was very calm. She would not be easily sent away unless she was given an explanation today.

Soon, only Nanny Sun and Old Madam Ye were left in the room.

"Old lady, calm down first, don't let your anger get you in trouble."

Nanny Sun brought some hot tea and asked Old Madam Ye to drink some to relax.

"How can I not be angry? That bitch gave birth to a bastard. How can he be buried in the Ye family's ancestral tomb?"

"The old lady's matter involves Lord Jiang from the Censorate. Sooner or later, it will be what the Sixth Miss wants. Why not use this as an excuse to let the Sixth Miss copy the scriptures for her parents?"

"When the scriptures are copied, we can talk about burying them in the ancestral tomb. Even if Lord Jiang asks about it in the future, we can directly push it to the Sixth Miss."

"It's not that we don't want Sixth Master to be buried in the ancestral tomb. It's because Sixth Miss has been unable to copy the scriptures."

"That's a good idea, haha..."

"As long as that damn girl can't finish copying, I can delay this matter for a year or so. By then, I guess Lord Jiang will have forgotten about it."

Old Madam Ye, who had a gloomy face just now, finally felt relieved and had a smile on her face.

"Go to my library and get a few thick scriptures for that little girl to copy. Tell her to be sincere and write neatly. If I find her being lazy, she will have to re-copy all the scriptures for me."

"Yes, I will go and select the scriptures right away."

Nanny Sun happily took her leave, turned around and called a little maid to go with her to get the scriptures.

There are quite a few Buddhist scriptures in the library, including "The Sutra of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva", "The Avatamsaka Sutra" and "The Diamond Sutra", but the words in these books are too few, and it would be too cheap for Ye Jintang to just take these.

"He Xiang, take down the Lotus Sutra. It has seven volumes, which is enough for the Sixth Miss to copy for some time."

The Lotus Sutra alone has more than 70,000 words, and if you add other sutras, it would be a really thick pile.

Not to mention a little girl, even if you find a scholar, it is impossible for her to copy so many scriptures in a short time.

Nanny Sun took the scriptures into the inner room. Old Madam Ye was delighted when she saw the thickness of the scriptures.

"Go and call the sixth girl in."
