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

None of those who could be on good terms with Old Madam Ye were stupid. Sure enough, not long after, several old ladies also sent their business cards, using various reasons to avoid the appointment for the next day.

Old Madam Ye, leaning on the soft pillow, was so depressed that she felt numb and didn't even want to speak.

"Madam, keeping the Sixth Miss is really a disaster. We chased her to the White Horse Temple, but she still caused so much trouble. I'm afraid she will cause more shocking troubles in the future."

"The old lady should think of a way to deal with it as soon as possible. Don't do it again like this, and wait for the old lady to help her clean up the mess when something goes wrong."

"I know I have to deal with the sixth girl, but you can see that the sixth girl seems to be rebellious. No matter what I ask her to do, she can cause trouble for me."

"I am really a little afraid of her. If she causes another disaster, the reputation of my Danyang Marquisate will be ruined by her."

When Ye Jintang was mentioned, Old Madam Ye wished she could strangle her to death.

"This old servant does have a way to help the old lady get rid of the Sixth Miss."

"What method?"

"After the New Year, the Sixth Miss will be able to marry after she reaches the age of marriage. Although she is in mourning, the old lady will consider her lonely and helpless, so it is reasonable for her to find a husband for her as soon as possible."

"As long as the Sixth Miss gets married, whatever trouble she causes in her husband's family will have nothing to do with our mansion."

"How could I have forgotten this? The sixth girl is a hot potato now. If she stays with me, it will only cause trouble for me. There is no benefit at all. It is better to marry her off early so that I can get a dowry."

"That's great. Madam Sun, during the New Year, please help me look around and see if there is a suitable family."

"Yes, I will go and ask around right away and make sure to find a husband for the Sixth Miss that is willing to pay the bride price."

Nanny Sun and Old Madam Ye smiled at each other, both of them were extremely happy.

As long as Ye Jintang is married off, they won't ask too much about her in-laws.

In the evening, not long after the lights were turned on, the heavy snow finally stopped.

"I don't know if the mountain road will be impassable when we enter the mountains tomorrow."

Looking at the thick snow in the yard, Ye Jintang was a little uncertain.

"I will go buy two pairs of sheepskin boots tomorrow morning. We will only follow the mountain road and not go into the wilderness. It won't be a problem."

Liuli hesitated for a moment and asked again, "Miss, how about I go alone? It's too cold on the mountain."

"It doesn't matter. I'm not made of paper. I can't freeze myself to death by picking two mushrooms in the mountains."

"That girl must wear something thicker."

Early the next morning, Liuli went to the nearby small vendors and bought two pairs of particularly thick sheepskin boots.

Although sheepskin boots look a bit bulky and ugly, they are waterproof and warm when worn on the feet. The soles are made of cow tendon and are very non-slip.

Ye Jintang, who was wearing training clothes, put on sheepskin boots, stomped his feet in the snow, and said in amazement, "I didn't expect the shoemaker's craftsmanship to be so good. Although the sheepskin boots are a little heavy, they are really comfortable to wear. My feet don't feel cold at all when I step on the ground."

"Girl, let's go into the mountains early. When the sun rises at noon, we will be able to reach the heart of the mountains. The quality of the snow jade mushrooms there must be very good."

"Let's go."

Ye Jintang and Liuli each carried a small bamboo basket with some snacks and even a small iron kettle the size of a palm.

If they get tired walking in the mountains, they can find a sheltered place, make a bonfire and boil a pot of hot water to drink.

Girls are not like men. No matter what time of the winter it is, they should try to drink hot water.

In addition to food, Liuli also took a thick sheepskin blanket.

If you encounter extremely bad weather in the mountains, this sheepskin blanket can save your life.

There are many wintersweets planted on the mountains around the White Horse Temple, and many pilgrims come out to enjoy the snow.

Some people saw Ye Jintang changing into simple clothes and carrying a bamboo basket into the mountains. They couldn't help but imagine that Old Madam Ye had come up with some torturous trick by forcing a little girl like Ye Jintang to go into the mountains in the middle of winter.

The further you go into the mountains, the lower the temperature becomes, and your sheepskin boots make a squeaking sound as you step on the goat path.

After they had walked for half an hour, the snow on the narrow path in the forest was frozen, making it inconvenient to walk.

"Girl, follow me. The road here is too slippery. If you don't walk carefully, you may fall."

Liuli held a wooden stick as a crutch and carefully explored the way while taking care of Ye Jintang.

"It's okay. I'm not a delicate little girl. I can still walk this path."

The two chatted as they stumbled along.

"When I was a kid, I went into the mountains with my parents to collect herbs. We also encountered weather like this, but the wind was so strong that the snow on the ground was blown up."

"My parents and I almost lost our lives in the mountains. Since then, my father never let me go into the mountains in winter again."

Recalling the past, Liuli's heart was filled with sadness.

"Liuli, would you like to tell me about your family? If I remember correctly, your family was confiscated because of a case of embezzlement of military funds."

This was the first time Ye Jintang talked to Liuli about her family.

"Well, my father is a royal doctor in the palace. He never takes sides, for fear of being implicated."

"The noble lady in the palace was involved in this matter. When the emperor sent people to arrest her, she had already taken the poisonous stone powder that my father had secretly made and died."

"The Emperor determined that my father was on Concubine Li's side and that my family was definitely involved in the embezzlement of military funds. All the male members of my Lin family were beheaded that day, and the blood almost dyed the entire garden red. My father didn't even have a chance to explain himself, he just died like that."

"My mother and several aunts couldn't bear the blow and hit their heads against the pillars and died."

"I wanted to die at that time, but my mother said that my Lin family's medical skills have been passed down for a hundred years and cannot be cut off by me. No matter what, I have to survive."

"If it weren't for my mother's instructions, I would have turned into a ghost long ago."

When Liuli talked about her family affairs, her face was calm. Her tears had dried up long before she entered Anxiang Tower. Although she felt sad now, she couldn't shed a single tear.

"How could the emperor be so careless? Dozens of lives were lost just like that."

"This is the royal dignity. The emperor wants his subjects to die, and the subjects have to kneel down to thank the emperor for his grace. This is really ridiculous."

"Liuli, have you ever thought about revenge?"

Liuli was obviously stunned.

"Revenge? Who can I seek revenge on? You can't assassinate the emperor."

"We will seek revenge on whoever stole Imperial Physician Lin's Shidu Powder."

"This matter involves many people, including the Imperial Concubine, the Emperor, and the Left Prime Minister. How can I, a woman, find out who stole the Stone Poison Powder?"

How could Liuli not want revenge? Dozens of people in the Lin family died in vain. She even dreamed of killing her enemies at night.

But how could she possibly find out what was going on in the deep palace?

"Liuli, don't be depressed. As long as you want it, you will be able to do it sooner or later."

"Well, I will live well, and maybe I can wait until the day when my parents' injustice is redressed."
