Ever since Ye Jintang entered the Marquis' Mansion, Old Madam Ye has not had a comfortable life. Every time she sees Ye Jintang, she would be so angry that she vomits blood.

She still wanted to live a few more years, so there was no rush to deal with Ye Jintang. She could deal with her slowly later.

"Okay, I'm feeling a little uncomfortable. You all can go away. Madam Sun, tell Yanran and the others that they don't need to come and pay their respects."

"Granddaughter resigns."

When Ye Jintang heard that he could leave, the smile on his face deepened.

Everyone in the room left, leaving only Old Madam Ye and Nanny Sun.

"Madame Sun, why do I feel that Ye Jintang is a bit evil? Even if his mother was the daughter of a merchant, she wouldn't have taught him to be like this?"

"I also think that the Sixth Miss is really strange and panicky. Whether in her actions or words, she is too straightforward. It is not an exaggeration to say that she has no scruples."

"Forget it, forget it. Don't let her come to pay respects to me again in the future. If she continues to do this, I'm afraid my old bones will be broken by her."

"Old Madam, please take good care of yourself these few days. I will send Madam Lou to the Jade Garden to teach Sixth Miss the rules of living in the Marquis' Mansion."

"Well, Madam Lou is an elder in the mansion, so it would be best to let her deal with Ye Jintang."

After getting up early for two days in a row, Ye Jintang finally didn't have to pay her respects to Old Madam Ye anymore, and she slept a little more soundly.

As for the so-called Madam Lou, she has the final say in the Jade Courtyard. If Madam Lou wants to discipline her, she should wait until she wakes up.

Outside the door, Zhou Cong and Zhou Wuwei were like two door gods, blocking Nanny Lou from entering.

"You two rude servants, I am the housekeeper, how dare you block my way."

"The master hasn't woken up yet. If you have anything to say, please wait until the master wakes up."

"It's already so late and the Sixth Miss hasn't even woken up yet. If this gets out, the Sixth Miss won't have any shame, and our Marquis' Mansion will have to too."

"What Madam Lou said is very strange. As long as the people in our courtyard don't spread it, how can others know what time our master got up?"

"If anyone in our courtyard dares to talk nonsense about the master, according to the rules of our courtyard, they will probably be beaten to death."

Zhou Wuwei said it lightly, but Nanny Lou felt a little nervous when she heard it.

"You are such a brat, how dare you say such big words? The servants in the courtyard are also human beings, how can you just beat them to death with a stick?"

"Some time ago, in the Wen family in Xingnan, a maid in the backyard was beaten to death in front of all the maids and maids in the backyard because she leaked my master's affairs. If you don't believe it, you can ask other people."

Zhou Wuwei said this not only to Nanny Lou, but also to He Xiang who was not far away.

Yunshuang and Hexiang were both sent by the old lady. Everyone had some guesses about the purpose of their visit without having to make it clear.

If He Xiang really dares to betray Ye Jintang, Zhou Wuwei will be the first to take her life.

Nanny Lou didn't expect that Ye Jintang would be punished so severely in the backyard.

Just now she was arrogant and wanted to break into the door, but now she gave up instantly, turned around and left without entangled with Zhou Wuwei. If the boy in front of her fought with her, her old bones would not be able to withstand a punch from him.

In the room, Ye Jintang had already stood up and started washing.

"Miss, it stands to reason that Madam Ye is your grandmother. Even if she favors other courtyards, she wouldn't treat you like this. It's really strange."

Aunt Zhang handed Ye Jintang a hot towel to wipe his face.

"I am also confused as to why Madam Ye has always been so cold to our family and always troubles me."

It is not logical that the sixth son of the Marquis's family has been the prefect for more than ten years.

Ye Li was Madam Ye's biological son. It was even more strange that she did not allow her son to be buried in the ancestral tomb after his death.

Now they treat her so harshly, it is obvious that Old Madam Ye hates their family deeply. If she hadn't used some tricks, she would definitely not take her back to the Danyang Marquis Mansion.

Wait? Could it be that Ye Li is not Madam Ye's biological son?

This only makes sense if they are not biological children.

"Lüzhu, you are quite familiar with the maids at the corner gate. Give them some favors later and help me find out whether my father is Madam Ye's biological son."

"what?"

Luzhu looked shocked.

"Why should I be surprised? It is not impossible for a child born to a favored concubine to be registered under the name of the legitimate wife."

"Miss, you are right. I will give some food to bribe the maid at the corner gate."

"In addition to this matter, please help me find out the daily income and expenditure of the Marquis's Mansion, and whether Madam Ye has a treasury."

"this?"

Luzhu was scared to death. She didn't expect Ye Jintang to entrust her with such a difficult task.

"Go ahead and ask. You look the most honest among the maids around me. Go and ask. No matter what you ask, no one will be suspicious."

"Well, I screwed up, but the girl can't tell on me."

"Well, just go ahead."

As for Old Madam Ye, Ye Jintang has been causing her trouble these days and she feels very uncomfortable.

However, the old marquis, the main culprit behind all this, was not affected at all. Yesterday he even invited two famous actors to perform in his yard.

As soon as Old Madam Ye walked outside the old marquis' study, she heard the melodious sound of the guqin coming from inside.

"My Lord, you have a very refined taste. You spend the whole day listening to music and watching plays. You have a very happy life."

"Because of the affairs of the court, I feel very depressed, so I just found two people to play a song to relieve the depression in my heart."

Old Madam Ye glared at the two famous actors fiercely, and the old marquis quickly waved his hand and asked them to leave.

When he was young, the old marquis was obviously a general who fought on the battlefield. To this day, Old Madam Ye still remembers how handsome he was riding on a tall horse on the day he returned triumphantly.

But the young general she once liked had become more and more a stranger since some time.

The servant brought the teacup, and Madam Ye drank the tea slowly before asking, "Is it about the appointment of the crown prince?"

"Well, the former crown prince was deposed as the King of Qin because of a leg disease, and it has been several months. Many ministers in the court hope that the emperor can appoint a crown prince as soon as possible to stabilize the people's hearts."

"The fourth prince is the most popular candidate now, but the emperor has been reluctant to give in. Some court officials are speculating on the emperor's thoughts, thinking that the emperor does not think highly of the fourth prince. Some even suggest appointing the ninth prince as the crown prince."

"Isn't this nonsense? The Ninth Prince is only a few years old, how can he be responsible for such a big task?"

Which prince becomes the crown prince will directly affect the future direction of the Danyang Marquisate, and the old marquis is quite troubled by this.

"There is no rush to decide who will be the crown prince. The emperor is still young. Who knows, in a few years, the emperor will like that prince and may even appoint a new queen."

"The most urgent thing is, my Lord, you should think about what to do about the engagement first."

When Marquis Danyang was young, he had fought on the battlefield with Emperor Jing. It can be said that the two had a life-and-death friendship.

After Emperor Jing ascended the throne, he exchanged tokens with Marquis Danyang and agreed on a marriage between the two families.

However, Marquis Danyang was much older than Emperor Jing, and the two sides had no suitable children to fulfill the marriage.

It was not until the late queen gave birth to Xiao Mo and Marquis Danyang's granddaughter was born that the matter was brought up again by the two.

At that time, Xiao Mo was also extremely favored and was soon made the crown prince.

Marquis Danyang was so happy at that time. As long as the two children grew up, his Yanran would become the Crown Princess, and the entire Marquis Danyang Mansion would prosper.
