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

He Xiang calmed herself down and thought quickly about what Ye Jintang said, wondering how much she could believe it.

Logically speaking, given Ye Jintang's position in Danyang Marquis' Mansion, it would be almost impossible for her to help her.

But thinking back to some of the things that happened after she returned to Danyang Marquis' Mansion, it seemed that Ye Jintang was only out of favor on the surface.

The courtyard where she lived, the food and drink, the maids and servants who served her, no matter what, were no worse than those of other legitimate daughters in the marquis's mansion.

Even her treatment in the Marquis' Mansion was better than that of other legitimate daughters. Other girls in the Marquis' Mansion had to pay their respects to the old lady every day, but she didn't need to. She slept until noon every day, and the old lady couldn't do anything about her.

After thinking for a while, He Xiang decided to take a gamble. As long as she won, her life in the Marquis' Mansion would be very easy. Even if she lost, she would just lose the baby in her belly.

"Sixth Miss, I wonder if you have any way to help me give birth to the baby in my belly. The Second Young Master hasn't married yet, and the old lady will definitely not agree to let a servant girl like me of low birth give birth to a son for the Second Young Master."

"Everything is up to you, but you have to listen to my instructions. If you don't trust me, or even feel wary of me, then it's better for us not to cooperate, lest it puts your life in jeopardy."

Ye Jintang drank the brown sugar ginger tea in her hand casually. She was very sure that He Xiang would definitely cooperate with her for her future status.

The more prestigious and wealthy the family, the more particular they are.

If Ye Rui was the eldest grandson, this matter would be somewhat troublesome to handle, but he was just a playboy from the fourth house who had no ambition. Even if he gave birth to a concubine's eldest son, it would not have any substantial impact on the Marquis's Mansion. At most, it would just bring a bad reputation.

"Everything is up to Sixth Miss's orders."

He Xiang finally chose to cooperate with Ye Jintang. She was tired of being a maid.

I don’t want to live like this for a single day.

"It's not difficult, but it's not easy either. The key point is that you have to win Ye Rui's heart. As long as he is of the same mind as you and listens to you, it will not be difficult for you to give birth to a bastard son."

"Sixth Miss, you don't know that the Second Young Master has two maids besides me. If he is of the same mind as me, he would not want me to keep the baby in my belly."

Speaking of Ye Ruilai, He Xiang felt bitter.

The huge Danyang Marquis Mansion has never lacked beautiful maids. Before Ye Rui got together with her, he already had two beautiful maids who shared the same room with him, and they were both deeply loved by Ye Rui.

If she didn't have some tricks up her sleeve, she would never have won his attention.

"I don't know if you have ever heard of Gu worms."

"Miss, are you talking about witchcraft?"

"That's right. I know a way to make your beloved man listen to you completely. Just let Ye Rui take the love poison. No matter how many women are around him, he will only be devoted to you."

"Sixth Miss, are you kidding me? How can there be such a powerful witchcraft in this world?"

"Why don't we give it a try? If Ye Rui really listens to you in everything, it means that the lover Gu I gave you is real."

This time, He Xiang didn't think twice and agreed immediately.

Anyway, it was Ye Rui who took the love poison. Even if something went wrong and someone had to die, it would be Ye Rui who died, and she would not suffer any loss.

Even if Ye Rui died, the child in her belly, who was his only bloodline, might be able to gain the title of his legal wife.

He Xiang was going to Dongyu Town in the afternoon, so Ye Jintang quickly asked Liuli to prepare the love poison and let her take it away.

In less than an hour, He Xiang returned to the White Horse Temple happily.

"Sixth Miss, it's done. After taking the love poison, the Second Young Master immediately agreed to let me give birth to the baby in my belly."

"The Second Young Master is already in Dongyu Town, helping me find a courtyard to nurse my baby. He said he would talk to the old lady about this during the New Year and take me back to the Marquis' Mansion to nurse my baby."

He Xiang was very excited when she spoke. She had never imagined that there really was such a magical witchcraft in the world.

"That's good. You can go to Dongyu Town to take care of your baby. You don't have to worry about me here."

When Ye Jintang said this, He Xiang naturally understood that the old lady's plan to torture Ye Jintang would probably fail. However, she could not even take care of herself at the moment, so how could she care about old lady Ye's affairs?

"Everything is up to Sixth Miss."

He Xiang didn't stay in the White Horse Temple for long. She explained everything clearly and left in a hurry. She was still young and had caught a cold, so she needed to be well taken care of.

After sending away the lotus fragrance, Ye Jintang leaned back on the soft pillow very relaxedly. She did not come to Mabai Temple to suffer. Now that she had gotten rid of all the spies, she could finally do her own thing.

"Alas, no one is watching us now."

"Liuli, let's go to the mountains sometime to try our luck and see if we can find the Snow Jade Mushroom. I've been thinking about it."

"Miss, do you really want to make the Jade Cream? It requires more than a dozen precious medicinal herbs, and the quality requirements for each herb are extremely strict. If the quality is slightly inferior, the effect of the Jade Cream will be greatly reduced."

"Don't worry, as long as we can find the Snow Jade Mushroom, other medicinal herbs won't be a problem. I've already asked the monks at the White Horse Temple, and there's Snow Jade Mushroom on the Dongyu Mountain behind. Let's go over there and try our luck, maybe we can really pick some."

"If there's no suitable quality, I'll ask Zhou Cong to go to the major pharmacies in Beijing to see if he can buy some."

Snow mushroom is a kind of mushroom that likes to grow in ice and snow. The colder it is, the better its quality is. It is very common in the northern mountains, but it is difficult to store and transport, so there are relatively few of them sold on the market.

"Why don't we go tomorrow? It looks gloomy outside and it looks like it's going to snow again. The quality of the snow jade mushrooms will be better after a heavy snow."

Ye Jintang looked outside and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Beijing really loves snow in winter.

"Girl, I'm afraid your room is cold, so I specially brought you some charcoal."

Nanny Lou was very considerate and brought over a basket of top-quality silver charcoal.

"Thank you, Madam Lou. I don't need any help here. You can go and have a rest."

"It is my duty to serve you, young lady. Young lady, there are better courtyards in the White Horse Temple. Do you want to change to one? The dormitory here is too simple and unsuitable for you to live in."

"Oh, how do you say this?"

Ye Jintang looked doubtful. She really didn't know that the dormitories in a temple could be divided into different levels.

"Miss, you don't know that the Marquis's Mansion has thousands or even tens of thousands of taels of silk for incense every year. If the old lady comes to burn incense, the White Horse Temple will naturally give the old lady the upper courtyard to live in."

"Oh, can I change it now? Do you want me to pay extra money?"

"The Marquis' Mansion receives so much money every year, so naturally we don't need you to take money anymore. However, you still have to buy all the things in the house yourself."

Although Nanny Lou did not say this explicitly, Ye Jintang vaguely heard that the old lady might not take her back to the Marquis' Mansion for a while.

"Let's go and see how good this better upper house is."

Ye Jintang stood up, put on a thick cloak, and followed Nanny Lou to see the yard.
