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

"Lüzhu, please accept the dress. Madam Lou, please thank my grandmother for me. Fortunately, she was thoughtful. Otherwise, I might have worn plain clothes to celebrate her birthday."

"Why haven't I seen Madam Lou these past two days? Madam Lou doesn't look very well to me."

Ye Jintang, with a smile on his face, deliberately asked Aunt Lou.

"Replying to Sixth Miss, I have been ill for a few days, so I have not come to see you. After the old lady's birthday is over, I will come to serve you."

"Okay, then I'll wait for Aunt Lou."

After Nanny Lou went out, Ye Jintang picked up the lotus-colored long skirt and clicked her tongue twice.

"The old lady is really willing to spend a lot of money to send me such expensive clothes. She is afraid that I will not like them and wear plain clothes to attend the birthday banquet."

"Would the girl like to wear the clothes the old lady sent?"

Nanny Liu couldn't help but ask.

"Of course not. If I wear this, it would be disrespectful to my parents."

"If there is any talk about this, it will affect my reputation."

"Get me a set of moon-white clothes tomorrow, and choose pearls as jewelry. Don't see anything with bright colors on me."

"The servant understands."

"The more angry the old lady is when she sees me tomorrow, the smoother it will be for my parents to be buried in the ancestral tomb. I just hope the old lady takes care of herself and doesn't faint again on her birthday."

As he spoke, the corners of Ye Jintang's lips curled up slightly, and his face was full of smiles.

Old Madam Ye clearly hated her to the core, but she had to protect her reputation as the Marquis' wife. She wanted to deal with her, but she didn't want to give herself a chance to be criticized and damage her own reputation. How could such a good thing in the world be taken away by her?

Since she wants both face and money, she will make her lose both face and money.

Madam Ye's birthday was naturally extremely lively. As soon as the sun rose in the morning, bursts of drums and music could be heard from the Marquis' Mansion.

The old lady sat in the main hall of the front yard, and her children and grandchildren came forward to congratulate her on her birthday.

Only after finishing her work in the front yard will the old lady return to Fushouyuan to accept congratulations from her granddaughters.

Ye Jintang and other girls and ladies who came early in the morning had been standing in Fushou Garden for more than an hour.

No matter how warmly they were dressed, the little girls could not stand standing outside for such a long time in the winter.

Ye Jintang secretly complained in his heart, this damn male chauvinism is really harmful to people, sons and grandsons can go to the front yard, but daughters-in-law and granddaughters can only wait in the backyard.

"Everyone, get up."

Old Madam Ye smiled happily and asked all the women in the room to stand up.

"Mom, your wife has prepared a birthday gift for you. Take a look and see if you like it."

Madam Gan took out a headband from a brocade box. On the headband was a bright green jadeite the size of a pigeon egg. The patterns on the headband were all embroidered with auspicious designs using gold and silver threads, which looked very beautiful.

"This headband was made by my daughter-in-law herself. Every flower on it was embroidered by her stitch by stitch."

"You have a heart."

The old lady happily accepted the headband. She could not see the affection of her daughter-in-law, but only saw the valuable green jadeite on the headband.

Afterwards, several other ladies also presented gifts, and almost every one of them was very valuable.

Ye Jintang, who was standing in the crowd, secretly complained in his heart that this was not Madam Ye's birthday celebration at all, it was clearly a day to make money.

After the ladies presented their gifts, it was the granddaughters' turn.

The first person to come forward to present a gift was Ye Yanran. She presented a painting by a famous artist. Old Madam Ye loved to show off her knowledge of culture, so she was trying to please her.

The other girls also gave gifts such as porcelain, calligraphy and paintings.

Ye Jintang thought that if they gave gold bars or silver bars, the old lady would probably like it more.

Finally it was Ye Jintang's turn. The old lady, who had been smiling just now, immediately frowned when she saw Ye Jintang in his moon-white clothes.

"Sixth girl, what gift have you prepared for your grandmother?"

Old Madam Ye was feeling upset, but she couldn't lose her temper in front of so many female relatives.

She herself knew very well that it was okay for Ye Jintang to wear moon-white clothes to celebrate her birthday while he was in mourning.

"My granddaughter is not as generous as her other sisters, but it is also a token of my granddaughter's love."

In front of everyone, Ye Jintang opened the brocade box in his hand, revealing a hundred-year-old ginseng inside.

Ye Yanran, who was standing next to Old Madam Ye, saw her bringing such a shabby ginseng to wish the old lady a happy birthday, and wondered if Ye Jintang really had no money?

Today is a good opportunity to please the old lady. Logically, Ye Jintang should come up with some good things.

Old Madam Ye had the same idea. She also didn't expect that Ye Jintang would only give her a ginseng to celebrate her birthday.

"You are interested too."

"My granddaughter also prepared a gift for my grandmother. Last time, my grandmother asked me to help her chant sutras to cure her headache. At that time, I felt that chanting sutras could not cure headaches, so I did not help my grandmother. After returning home, I felt uneasy and specially copied a copy of the Heart Sutra for my grandmother."

"I wish my grandmother a long and healthy life."

As he spoke, Ye Jintang took out a handwritten scripture with a yellow cover.

Seeing Old Madam Ye sitting in the seat of honor with the scripture, she felt her eyelids twitching. What did Ye Jintang mean by giving her a scripture on her birthday?

And she clearly had something else in her words just now. Was she trying to tell everyone that she was being harsh on her? To embarrass her?

Thinking that Ye Jintang was still copying scriptures for her parents, Old Madam Ye was afraid that she would say something shocking again, so she quickly said, "Your filial grandmother has accepted it."

"Grandmother heard that you have been in poor health, so she won't keep you here. You should go and rest early."

"Yes, granddaughter will take her leave first."

Ye Jintang left very obediently and received a lot of stares, especially from Ye Yanran. She always felt that it was a bit strange that Ye Jintang was so well-behaved today.

After Ye Jintang left, Old Madam Ye breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.

Unfortunately, she was happy too early. Today, Ye Jintang was determined to ask Old Madam Ye to bury her parents in the ancestral tomb.

The key figure in this matter is Jiang Zhi.

As long as Jiang Zhi comes today, everything will be easy.

"Zhou Cong, go to the front yard and ask if Lord Jiang Zhi has arrived."

The entire mansion was extremely lively on Old Madam Ye's birthday. Several maids in Ye Jintang's yard were transferred to the front yard to help. Naturally, no one reported what happened here to the old lady.

"Lianqiao, Luzhu, the two of you follow me and take the scriptures with you and go to the ancestral temple together."

Luzhu looked puzzled, "Miss, we have to pass by the Plum Garden when we go to the ancestral temple. There is a small banquet for viewing plum blossoms in the Plum Garden right now. If we walk by, we will be discovered."

"What we want is to be discovered. Hurry up and take all the scriptures. We are leaving now."

Ye Jintang urged Luzhu, saying that the weather was cold and the ladies and girls would not stay in the plum garden for too long, and she did not want to miss such a good opportunity.

Ye Jintang also held a stack of scriptures and some single pages of scriptures in her hands. These were all props she had carefully prepared.
