Seeing that most people had gathered in the main hall, Ye Jintang finally began her performance.

She was copying scriptures just now when she suddenly knocked over the inkstone and fainted on the ground.

The inkstone fell to the ground and broke into two with a thud. The sound was so loud that everyone in the hall could hear it.

"girl."

Liuli, who was standing not far away, had already prepared herself. When she saw Ye Jintang faint, she immediately rushed over to help her up. It was such a cold day and the ground was still very cold.

"What's wrong with this girl?"

A lady who was closer to the two men stepped forward and asked.

"My girl probably fainted from hunger."

"Ah, why did you faint from hunger for no reason?"

Liuli looked at the lady with red eyes and then spoke in a crying voice.

"My old lady asked the girl to come to the temple to copy scriptures and pray for her. She said that in order to show piety, she needs to fast for three days. During this period, she must bathe and change clothes every day, and can only eat 81 grains of rice for each meal."

"How could those few sips of soup cause any trouble?"

"Oh my God, if I only eat 81 grains of rice in one meal, I will starve to death after three days."

Liuli pretended to be panicked, lowered her head and pinched Ye Jintang's philtrum hard.

The unconscious Ye Jintang woke up slowly. She struggled to sit up, but she had no strength at all. She looked soft and lifeless.

Someone in the crowd shouted, "The pilgrim has brown sugar in his room. Give this girl a sip of brown sugar water first."

"Where do I get brown sugar?"

A little girl responded and quickly brought a bowl of brown sugar water for Ye Jintang to drink.

Only then did Ye Jintang recover.

Nanny Lou, who had been standing outside, saw someone squeezing into the hall with a bowl of brown sugar water, and she thought something was wrong.

When she squeezed in, she heard someone say, "I can't believe Madam Ye is such a vicious person."

"Who said it wasn't true? How did she come up with the idea of ​​only feeding her 81 grains of rice per meal? Isn't she afraid that the Buddha will punish her?"

Everyone was talking at once, and Aunt Lou felt her scalp tingling.

"Let me, let me."

Nanny Lou rushed into the crowd like crazy. When she squeezed in, Ye Jintang had already stood up.

"Madam Lou, the inkstone is broken. I'm afraid I can't copy the scriptures today. Please buy a new inkstone and I will continue to pray for my grandmother and copy the scriptures in the main hall tomorrow."

Ye Jintang's voice was a little weak, but it sounded particularly harsh to Nanny Lou's ears.

"Sixth Miss, please go back to your room and have a good rest. I will report to the old lady that the young lady is ill."

Nanny Lou didn't dare to say a single extra word. In this situation, the more she spoke, the more mistakes she would make, so it was better for her to keep her mouth shut.

After the three of them left, Ye Jintang returned to the dormitory and exchanged glances with Liuli. Suddenly, he attacked Nanny Lou and stuffed the Angelica Pills that he had prepared long ago into her mouth.

"Sixth Miss, what did you give me to eat?"

Everything happened so fast that before Aunt Lou could react, she had already swallowed the pill.

She quickly used her hands to dig her throat, but after dry heaving several times, she was unable to spit out the pill.

"Madam Lou, you may not know this, but Liuli loves to study all kinds of poisons. The pill she gave you is a heart-eating pill. If you don't take the antidote on time, you will become insane and a lunatic."

"Tell me, how will the Danyang Marquisate deal with a crazy woman?"

Even without Ye Jintang saying it explicitly, Nanny Lou could guess what would happen to her.

The Danyang Marquis' Mansion is not a charity, so how could they keep a crazy old woman in the mansion?

Her best outcome would be to be sent to a farm. If Old Madam Ye was a little crueler, she would most likely become a beggar on the street.

Thinking of this, Madam Lou fell to her knees and kowtowed to Ye Jintang, begging for mercy.

"Sixth Miss, please be kind and spare my life. If you have any requests from me in the future, I will serve you like a slave and will not dare to have any other thoughts."

Nanny Lou was not a stupid person. She quickly realized why Ye Jintang suddenly poisoned her.

"Madam Lou, please stand up and speak. As long as you listen to my instructions, I will give you the antidote on time and will not take your life."

"Thank you, Sixth Miss. I will obey your orders in everything."

Nanny Lou, who was kneeling on the ground, stood up tremblingly. Her usual arrogance and domineering attitude disappeared in an instant. She now stood in front of Ye Jintang and was more obedient than a cat.

"Let me ask you something. Did He Xiang go back to deliver a letter to the old lady?"

"Yes, yesterday I asked He Xiang to go back and deliver the letter."

"Then why didn't she come back for so long?"

Nanny Lou looked embarrassed and was silent for a moment before finally speaking.

"I guess the reason why He Xiang delayed the time might be related to Master Rui from the Fourth House."

"Oh? But he is the one who gave me the Lotus Fragrance Jade Pendant."

Nanny Lou was shocked again. She didn't expect Ye Jintang to be so perceptive. Just from a jade pendant, she was able to discover He Xiang's little secret.

Few people in the entire Marquis' Mansion knew about this.

"That's right. Last year, the Fourth Madam wanted He Xiang to be the Second Young Master's concubine, but the Old Madam disagreed, saying that the Second Young Master should focus on studying, and it wouldn't be too late to make He Xiang his concubine in two years."

Nanny Lou did not dare to hide anything from Ye Jintang and told him everything about He Xiang and the second young master Ye Rui.

"He Xiang felt that she would belong to the Second Young Master sooner or later, and she acted a little arrogantly. This old servant estimated that the reason why He Xiang came back late was that she was tripped by the Second Young Master."

Ye Jintang was an unmarried girl, so Nanny Lou naturally couldn't say it too bluntly. After she said it roughly, Ye Jintang vaguely guessed that the two of them might have had sex last night.

After all, her affairs were not a big deal in the eyes of everyone, so it didn't matter if they were delayed occasionally.

"No wonder He Xiang always looks down on others. It turns out that she has already regarded herself as the master."

Ye Jintang sneered. Since He Xiang wanted to be the master so much, she would give her the opportunity.

Now that Nanny Lou had taken care of everything, Ye Jintang no longer had to pretend to be a weak little white flower. She immediately changed into men's clothes, transformed herself into Ye Qinglin, and went down the mountain alone to Dongyu Town to see if Zhou Wuwei had rented the warehouse.

According to the agreement, Zhou Wuwei will wait for her in town today.

The snow that had fallen two days ago had melted by now, making the official road a little difficult to walk on. By the time Ye Jintang arrived in the town, the sun was already high in the sky.

Today is the day when the town has a market. Looking at the bustling crowd, Ye Jintang is a little worried about where she should go to find Zhou Wuwei.

Just as Ye Jintang was standing on the side of the road looking around, he saw a young man running towards him from a distance.

"The young one has met the master."

Zhou Wuwei was very happy to see Ye Jintang, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips when he saluted.

"How long have you been waiting for me here?"

"It won't be long before I rent a warehouse. I'll take you there to have a look."

"it is good."
