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

"Don't try to fool me. You know better than anyone how difficult our lives have been these years. It's difficult for me to leave the capital."

Jiang Mo had a smile on his face, but the words he spoke were full of sadness.

When he led his men to the battlefield to kill the enemy, in front of him were the ferocious Northern Di people, and behind him was the imperial concubine who wanted to kill him everywhere.

Under such circumstances where he was attacked from all sides, one can imagine how Jiang Mo's life would be.

Thinking about his current situation, Jiang Mo sighed in his heart. He couldn't give Ye Jintang a stable life at all, so why should he persist?

Jiang Mo returned to the palace to handle official business for half the night, and then put on the human skin mask to transform into Jiang Zhi, continuing his duties as the Left Deputy Censor of the Censorate.

The identity of Zuodu Duchashi is still very useful. Whether you can leave smoothly depends entirely on the operation of this identity.

As for Ye Jintang, she put a lot of thought into it and finally finalized the burial of her parents in the ancestral tomb at Madam Ye’s birthday banquet.

She had never encountered such a thing before, so she specifically asked Aunt Liu and Aunt Zhang whether there should be a ceremony or any ritual on the day her parents were buried in the ancestral tomb.

"My dear, according to the rules, Lord Ye died in office. He should be buried in the ancestral tomb. He must hold a new funeral to show respect."

"But under the current circumstances, the old marquis and the old lady will definitely not agree."

"But the Ye family ancestral hall must be opened, and the monks should be invited back to chant for a few days. We can't let Master Ye be buried in the ancestral tomb without a trace."

"Madam Liu is right. After all, my father is a fifth-rank official in the prefecture. It is only right for him to invite a few monks back to chant sutras."

Ye Jintang had an idea in his mind, so he immediately went to see Old Madam Ye the next morning to inquire about the burial of Lord Ye and his wife in the Ye family's ancestral tomb.

"Sixth Miss, the old lady is not feeling well today and does not want to see you. As for the matter of Sixth Master being buried in the ancestral tomb, the old lady said that you should make your own decision. If you have any questions, you can go and discuss it with the elders."

"It is difficult to disturb the old lady these days because she needs to drink herbal medicine. Miss Six, please do not come to the old lady for any trivial matters."

Nanny Sun implied that Old Madam Ye didn't want to take care of anything, and would not use money to arrange the burial of Lord Ye and his wife in the ancestral tomb.

"Please ask Madam Sun to take me to greet my grandmother. She doesn't need to worry about my father's affairs. I will take care of it."

Ye Jintang bowed politely towards Old Madam Ye's room and left in a dignified manner.

But after turning around, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she couldn't suppress the joy in her heart.

Just now she was still worried that Old Madam Ye would argue with her again and make things difficult for her.

Now she doesn't care about anything, which is exactly what she wants.

After returning to his own courtyard, Ye Jintang changed his clothes and went to the tribe to find the elders.

The Ye family had only been prosperous in the capital for a few decades. There were a total of three elders in the family, and all of them were invited by Ye Jintang to the Ye family ancestral hall to speak.

Ye Jintang, wearing a gauze hat, met the three elders and saluted politely.

"Sixth Miss, there's no need to be so polite."

Seeing Ye Jintang being so polite, Ye Mushan smiled a little more.

Normally, when the legitimate daughters of the marquis's mansion see the elders of the clan, few of them take them seriously.

"I invited the three elders to come to discuss the matter of my father's burial in the ancestral tomb. I am young and do not understand many things, so I still have to rely on the three elders."

"It's easy to talk about."

In fact, before this, Old Madam Ye had already instructed the three people not to hold a funeral for Lord Ye, but to open the ancestral hall and let Ye Jintang go in to kneel down and worship, burn some paper, and dig a grave to bury the body.

At this moment, Ye Jintang let them make the decision, and naturally they also followed the instructions of Old Madam Ye.

"Since the three elders said so, I will naturally listen to them. However, I think my parents were killed by someone, and I am afraid they will harbor resentment."

"They haven't been buried for such a long time. I really can't bear it. Three elders, can you please ask some monks to come back and chant sutras for my parents for a few days?"

The three elders exchanged glances and thought that asking a few monks to chant sutras would not go against Madam Ye's wishes.

Just as they were hesitating, Luzhu beside Ye Jintang immediately took out three envelopes and placed them in front of the three elders.

"Sixth Miss, what are you doing?"

"When burying my parents, not only will the elders of the tribe be disturbed, but also many people in the tribe will be disturbed. Besides, I want to make the grave of my parents better, but you also know that my grandmother doesn't like me."

As he spoke, Ye Jintang took out an envelope himself.

"The silver in here is used to dig a grave for my parents. If there is any surplus, I will buy wine for the people in the clan who help me."

The envelope in Ye Jintang's hand fell on Ye Mushan's desk.

He picked up the two envelopes, opened them, and saw 200 taels of silver in the first envelope and 1000 taels of silver in the second envelope.

Old Madam Ye has already told us the time of Lord Ye's burial, and it will only take about four days to dig his grave.

The weather is cold now and the soil is frozen. It is impossible to build a luxurious tomb in such a short time. At least half of the 1000 taels of silver will be left.

Even though 500 or 600 taels of silver may not seem like much, an ordinary family in the capital city doesn't even spend 10 taels of silver a year. For Ye Mushan and the Ye family, who are not very rich, 500,600 or taels of silver is not a small amount.

"this?"

Ye Mushan didn't know how to reply to Ye Jintang.

"Three elders, if you don't tell me about what happened today, and I don't tell you, then naturally no one else will know. My grandmother has been unwell these days and has closed the door to visitors. She will not know what happened at the Ye family's ancestral tomb outside the capital."

Ye Jintang had said so much, and the three elders made up their minds to agree to the matter.

200 taels per person as a hush money is still very attractive.

"Then I will have to trouble the elders. I have a servant named Zhou Cong. If it is inconvenient for the elders to look for me in the future, just look for Zhou Cong."

"Alright."

Ye Mushan also understood that there were some details that needed to be discussed with Ye Jintang when digging the grave, but it was really inconvenient for her as a woman in the inner house, but it would be much better if she had a servant.

Now that the matter was settled, Ye Jintang was finally relieved.

Old Madam Ye has her own plans, and Ye Jintang also has her own way to get over the wall. It is impossible to let her suffer in silence.

Zhou Cong took on such an important task and had to go out almost every other day.

Zhou Wuwei is even busier than him. After Ye Jintang's herbal medicine shop opened, there were always customers coming and going in the shop.

He was a little confused. Obviously, their medicinal herbs were much more expensive than those of other companies. Why were so many people spending so much money to buy such expensive goods?

"Master, Shopkeeper Su said that there are not enough medicinal materials, so he asked you to send a batch over as soon as possible."

Zhou Wuwei showed Ye Jintang the prescription that Manager Su gave him.

The palm-sized booklet was opened, revealing dozens of medicinal herbs, each with the quantity and selling price marked.

"Okay, you talk to Shopkeeper Su and give it to him in two days. I have something to do tomorrow."

"Yes, I will report this to Shopkeeper Su right away."
