Chapter 46: Crazy Stocking Mode Starts

Ye Chutang looked at Ye Anling who was holding the casserole and guessed that she was going to kill someone to silence him.

She grabbed Dr. Gao's ankle and dragged him away.

"Bang!"

The casserole hit the ground and broke into pieces.

The boiling soup splashed onto Ye Jingchuan's trouser legs.

He was scalded and screamed.

"Ling'er, what are you doing?"

Ye Ling'er glared at Ye Chutang hatefully, trying to divert the blame.

“Dad, I also wanted to avenge Jun’er, but I didn’t expect that my eldest sister would save this beast and cause you to be burned!”

Ye Chutang looked at Ye Anling who was lying with open eyes and chuckled.

"Have you forgotten that I was the one who captured Doctor Gao?"

After saying that, she squatted down and looked at Doctor Gao, who was frightened out of his wits.

"Everyone in the Ye family wants you dead. I am the only one who can save you."

Doctor Gao looked like he had grabbed a life-saving straw and begged.

"As long as the young lady spares my life, I will do anything you ask me to do!"

"Tell me about Jun'er's illness and your escape."

Ye Anling quickly grabbed Ye Jingchuan's arm.

"Dad, this quack doctor doesn't even let go of newborn babies for money. You can't trust what he says!"

Doctor Gao ignored Ye Anling and confessed that Kong Ru had drugged Ye Anjun and used him as a tool to win favor.

"The evidence is hidden in the second wooden board under the bed. The second young master is a witness."

What this means is that Ye Anjun knows that he is just a tool.

He added, "It was Zhang Kui who let me go. You will know who he belongs to once you check."

Even if Ye Jingchuan hadn't seen the evidence, he knew that what Dr. Gao said was true.

Because every time Jun'er fell ill, he hadn't been to Liuliyuan for a long time.

His face turned pale, and he looked at Ye Anling coldly, "Do you know that too?"

Ye Anling knew that her mother was completely finished and immediately distanced herself from her.

She wanted to deny it, but was afraid that Ye Chutang would force Dr. Gao to expose her.

"Dad, I do know. I tried to persuade you before, but she insisted on her own way and promised that Jun'er would be fine. That's why I..."

Ye Jingchuan was furious when he heard this.

"Evil girl!"

Ye Anling looked at his raised hand and quickly stopped him.

"Dad, if nothing unexpected happens, the imperial decree granting the marriage will be delivered to the Shangshu Mansion within three days."

Now she has Eunuch De as her support, so she doesn't have to feel bullied anymore!

When Ye Jingchuan heard this, he immediately withdrew his hand.

Madam Ye, who had been silent the whole time, said, "Chuan'er, imprison Kong in Liuli Courtyard and marry a concubine."

Kong Ru cannot be divorced, but she cannot continue to be the mistress either. Marrying a concubine is the only solution.

"Yes, mother."

When Mrs. Ye left, she glanced at Doctor Gao.

"He must die."

When Doctor Gao heard this, he immediately reached out to hug Ye Chutang's thigh, but his hug was empty.

"Miss..."

Ye Chutang looked at Doctor Gao mockingly, "Kong Ru gave me the medicine. Was it you who gave me the medicine?"

"People like you deserve to die!"

After saying that, she looked at Butler Chen and said, "Hurry up and change the bed for me. It's too dirty."

Butler Chen looked at Ye Jingchuan, and nodded after getting the instruction.

"Yes, Miss."

Ye Chutang left the kitchen and headed towards Qingsong Courtyard.

Seeing that there was no one on the road, she took out the clothes she bought for Jinzhi from the space.

There are four people guarding Qingsongyuan today.

After Ye Chutang easily knocked down the four men, he said, "Go tell Ye Jingchuan that I've taken Jinzhi away."

She pushed open the gate and saw Jinzhi, who was covered in dirt, standing in the yard.

"gold……"

Jinzhi rushed to Ye Chutang, "Miss, you're back. Hug me!"

"Young lady, it is better for this servant to pretend to be crazy for the time being."

She was afraid that after she was no longer crazy, Ye Jingchuan would harm the young lady for the sake of her dowry.

Ye Chutang thought that he couldn't stay with Jinzhi all the time, and pretending to be crazy was her best protection, so he agreed.

"good."

She pushed Jinzhi away, took her hand, and asked with a smile, "Would you like to come with me?"

Jinzhi nodded quickly, "Hurry up and go."

When I returned to Ningchu Courtyard, Shan'er was standing in the yard, looking forward to it.

She was not surprised to see Ye Chutang coming back with the "crazy woman".

"Miss, how do we place this person..."

Seeing that Shan'er didn't know how to address Jinzhi, Ye Chutang said, "Just call her Aunt Jin."

"I will place her in the outer room of my boudoir later."

"Yes, Miss, I will go and prepare some water for Aunt Jin to wash up."

Ye Chutang stopped Shan'er and asked, "Where's Shuang'er?"

"Shuang'er knelt for three days before, and was beaten today. He is now dizzy with fever and can't get up."

"Well, eat first, then boil some water and wash up."

After Dan'er responded, he placed the food in the lunch box.

"You are injured and can't sit down. Stand and eat together."

Shan'er knew that Ye Chutang was a man of his word and did not refuse, but he was deeply touched.

During the meal, Jinzhi pretended to be crazy and refused to eat properly.

Shan'er coaxed him patiently.

Ye Chutang knew that Jinzhi was testing Shan'er and ignored it.

After dinner, Dan boiled some water, and Ye Chutang applied medicine to her again and let her rest.

She fetched water for Jinzhi and Jinzhi bathed herself.

Jinzhi washed herself with three buckets of water before she was clean.

She was skinny, covered with scars, with dry and tangled hair, and looked very old.

Ye Chutang helped her twist her hair, "Aunt Jin, I will raise you to be plump and white."

Jinzhi took the handkerchief and said, "Young lady, I can do it myself. You are tired today, so take a bath and rest."

Ye Chutang thought about what he still had to do in the evening, so he nodded, "Okay."

By the time she finished washing, Jinzhi had already wrung her hair dry and gone to bed.

After more than an hour, everyone in Ningchuyuan fell into a deep sleep.

Ye Chutang put on men's clothes, disguised himself, and went underground to the main street of the capital.

It was curfew at this moment and the streets were empty.

Only the night watchman was beating the gong, reminding people that it was already midnight.

"It's dry, be careful with fire!"

Ye Chutang went to the rice shop he had taken a liking to in the afternoon, climbed over the wall from the backyard, and woke up the sleeping shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was so frightened that he almost lost his soul.

Suddenly, a gold ingot appeared in front of him, helping him calm down.

"Except for the three days' trading volume, I want all the remaining food."

She did not buy all the grain because she did not want to cause turmoil in the rice market, resulting in price increases and suffering for the people.

Three days is enough time for the rice shop owner to purchase and replenish the stock.

The shopkeeper listened to the rough male voice, looked at the gold right in front of him, and nodded frantically.

"Okay, I'll sell you brown rice..."

Before he could make an offer, Ye Chutang interrupted him.

"I've learned about the price of rice in the market. If you dare to quote a random price, I'll kill you!"

As soon as the words fell, a cold light flashed, and the sharp knife fell on the shopkeeper's neck.

The shopkeeper was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and immediately gave up his thoughts.

"Sir, we are doing business with integrity and will never make random quotes."

After saying that, he honestly reported the price and inventory of grain.

"Sir, the total is 78 taels, 563 wen. If you buy a lot, just give 78 taels."

Of course his shop didn't have so much food, but he had a warehouse to store food.

Ye Chutang let go of the shopkeeper, asked about the location of the warehouse, and gave him eighty taels.

"The extra two taels of silver will be used as hush money. Don't tell anyone that you have sold out the granary, so as not to cause a panic of selling grain. If someone asks you why you bought more grain, just say that you have a premonition that the grain price will rise, so you want to stock up more."

The shopkeeper stroked the heavy silver and nodded happily.

"Don't worry, sir. I won't worry about it."

He sold nearly half a year's worth of grain in one go.

If you don't want to cause jealousy among your peers, you have to keep the news a secret.

"If someone finds out that your food is gone, you should pretend to be ignorant and then spread the news that there are ghost thieves."

After the shopkeeper nodded, Ye Chutang knocked him unconscious with a palm strike.

The rice in the rice shop can be sold for about ten days, and she puts 65% of the grain into the space.

Then he went to the shopkeeper's granary outside the city and collected all the stored grain.

Ye Chutang returned to the city and did the same thing again, buying grain from five rice shops, spending a total of nearly seven hundred taels.

It lasted until the end of the Chou hour.

"Today's mission is complete, let's go home."

The granary of the last rice shop was located in the city, not far from the Shangshu Mansion.

Ye Chutang felt that it was a waste to use the earth escape technique and planned to walk back.

As a result, as soon as she came out of the granary, she ran into Qi Yanzhou who was returning to Prince Chen's Palace.
