Su Xuerou turned her face away and snorted coldly, "Ye Jintang, I didn't come here today to talk to you about these useless things."

"Cui'er, take out the silver notes."

After Su Xuerou finished speaking, she gave a wink to the person next to her. Upon hearing this, Cui'er quickly stepped forward and took out the silver notes she had prepared in advance from her bosom.

"Miss Ye, here is a silver note for forty thousand taels. Please take a look."

Ye Jintang glanced at her but didn't say anything. Green Lotus, who was standing beside her, immediately understood that since her mistress hadn't directly refused, it meant that she had agreed to the matter.

Green Lotus stepped forward and took the silver note.

Seeing that Ye Jintang's people accepted the offer, Su Xuerou finally breathed a sigh of relief, since she hadn't been sure of the outcome before she came.

Especially given Ye Jintang's personality, her previous setbacks forced her to take things seriously again, fearing that some unexpected event might affect her in some way.

"Ye Jintang, shouldn't you give me the IOU now?"

Su Xuerou instantly felt more confident and asked Ye Jintang a question.

"Here you go."

Ye Jintang took out a note from his pocket by concealing it with his cuff.

Su Xuerou quickly took it and carefully checked it before feeling much more at ease.

"Ye Jintang, now that you have left the Marquis's mansion, I still have to advise you: I am the only woman that Brother Mubai loves the most."

Su Xuerou seemed to have found an outlet for her anger, and said to Ye Jintang in a haughty manner.

"There will never be a place for you in his heart."

Is Jiang Mubai some kind of hot commodity?

"Wh...what?"

Su Xuerou was stunned, her eyes widening as she looked at Ye Jintang with disbelief.

Seeing Su Xuerou's shocked expression, Ye Jintang sneered.

“Su Xuerou, you need to understand that it was me who didn’t want Jiang Mubai, not him who abandoned me. As for the position of mistress that you want, I don’t care about it at all.”

Ye Jintang said coldly to Su Xuerou, word by word, "And if you make any more trouble, you'll spend the rest of your life in the Dali Temple prison."

"Xue Rou."

Just then, Jiang Mubai's voice came from outside. Upon seeing the newcomer, Su Xuerou seemed to have found someone to rely on, and felt extremely aggrieved.

"Brother Mu Bai, what brings you here?"

"I came to see you, and this is what you're holding..."

Jiang Mubai quickly noticed what Su Xuerou was holding and looked surprised.

"Jiang Mubai, your second wife used her dowry to pay off your IOU. You should be grateful now."

"I...I've returned it."

Jiang Mubai stood there, stunned, and looked at Su Xuerou in shock.

"Brother Mu Bai, I'm alright..."

Su Xuerou originally thought she would see a touched expression on Jiang Mubai's face and was planning to show off in front of Ye Jintang.

Unexpectedly, the next second, Jiang Mubai suddenly grabbed Su Xuerou's hand, his face dark and gloomy, and directly questioned her, "Who told you to do this?"

"Brother Mu Bai."

"you……"

"Lord Jiang, please don't bring your grudges to me."

Jiang Mubai's commotion quickly attracted the attention of those around him.

In an instant, all eyes fell on Jiang Mubai.

Jiang Mubai's expression softened somewhat when facing these people.

Then, looking in Ye Jintang's direction, she said, "Ye Jintang, matters concerning the silver have nothing to do with Xue Rou. Please..."

Before Jiang Mubai could finish speaking, Ye Jintang asked first.

"Jiang Mubai, you don't mean to ask me to return the silver notes to you."

"Don't forget, the IOU is already in Su Xuerou's hands, and as for other matters, they have nothing to do with me."

"On this point, Lord Jiang had better understand. If you still feel it's inappropriate, you are welcome to go to the government office for a confrontation."

"you……"

"If you don't leave soon, I'm going to take action."

"Big White".

"Woof!"

As soon as Ye Jintang finished speaking, Da Bai barked.

Su Xuerou instinctively hid behind Jiang Mubai. Jiang Mubai frowned upon seeing this. His departure at this moment was definitely not because he was afraid of Ye Jintang.

It was entirely because they didn't want to cause too much of a commotion, and it wasn't because they were afraid of Ye Jintang.

"Let's go."

"Miss, shouldn't it be a good thing that Su Xuerou helped Lord Jiang pay off the debt on the IOU? Why is Lord Jiang not only unhappy about this, but also has this attitude?"

After Jiang Mubai left with Su Xuerou, Lühe finally voiced the question that had been lingering in her mind.

"Jiang Mubai has been suspended from his post, and Minister Su is temporarily imprisoned. The Marquis's mansion is in a situation where it can rely entirely on the silver that Su Xuerou brought into the mansion. But now Su Xuerou has taken out 40,000 taels to pay off the debt on the IOU. Guess how much silver she has left now."

Upon hearing Ye Jintang's words, Lühe instantly understood.

"Miss, what's next..."

"That's something that happened in the Marquis's residence, what does it have to do with us?"

"This servant understands."

As Su Xue Rou was being dragged away, she saw that Jiang Mu Bai had been silent ever since they came out of Hui Sheng Tang, and her heart began to pound with anxiety.

"Brother Mu Bai, what's wrong? Is it because of the IOU?"

Su Xuerou was puzzled by this. She had clearly done a good deed, so why was she treated this way when Brother Mu Bai found out?

Jiang Mubai's feelings were somewhat complicated.

"Xue Rou, you should at least tell me before you do these things."

"Do you know that Ye Jintang is cunning? What if she finds out something else?"

Faced with Su Xuerou's questioning, Jiang Mubai would never admit that it was because Su Xuerou had given too much silver.

“You don’t have much money to begin with, and I don’t want you to be troubled by these things.”

Su Xuerou understood immediately upon hearing Ye Jintang's words.

"So that's why. Don't worry, Brother Mu Bai, besides the current 40,000 taels, I still have some other silver on hand, so it won't have any impact."

"Xue Rou, you're so thoughtful."

Jiang Mubai was relieved to know that Su Xuerou still had money.

"As long as it can help Brother Mubai, that's enough."

"It's just about Father..." Su Xuerou looked worried.

"Brother Mu Bai, are you sure everything will be alright with my father?"

Jiang Mubai frowned, as this was exactly what Su Xuerou was worried about.

"This matter is somewhat complicated, but since the Emperor has not taken direct action and no other changes have occurred in the Ministry of Personnel, there should be no problem."

Hearing Jiang Mubai's answer, Su Xuerou nodded.

In the following days, Ye Jintang began to develop a drug that could suppress the Soul-Devouring Powder.

Ye Ling's situation was extremely special; he was not only poisoned by the Soul-Devouring Powder, but also carried a curse.

This curse is related to malevolent energy, and when the two are combined, the situation becomes even more complicated.

The most critical issue is that each flare-up leads to drug resistance.

Until no more medicinal herbs could suppress Ye Ling's condition.

Thinking about it this way, it really is a tricky situation. Fortunately, the poison in Ye Ling's body has been suppressed during this period of time.
