Ye Yabing suddenly slapped her across the face, saying sternly, "Go if you want to go! Is she your master or am I? You worthless thing!"

Ye Yabing turned and walked back; she had no desire to see Madam Min at all.

"Perhaps for a long time to come, she won't want to see Madam Min again." From the shadows, Yun Zhuo witnessed all of this and thought to himself.

Ye Yabing might not easily believe Ye Qingxue's words, but she would think about it and then realize that what Ye Qingxue said was very likely.

Furthermore, with the Duke of Wei as a comparison, Ye Yabing felt even more strongly that it was only a matter of time before the Marquis of Zhongyong was granted the title of Duke.

Moreover, Ye Yabing is in a very bad situation. She is severely disfigured, the divine doctor is helpless, and the Heartless Fruit has been captured. It is only a matter of time before she is executed.

She needed an outlet for her resentment, but she was no match for Ye Qingxue. Therefore, as time went by, Madam Min would become the outlet for her resentment.

Riding on Grey Seven's back, Little Treasure asked in confusion, "Mother doesn't seem to want to mend their sisterly relationship. She seems to be really trying to sow discord, and it even looks like she's going to kick someone when they're down..."

"Since Mother hates her younger sister so much, why doesn't she just kill her? Does Mother still have any hope for this wicked sister? Does she still crave her affection?"

Yun Zhuo's voice was cold: "Because Ye Yabing is a pawn your mother used to deal with Prince Ding, we cannot kill her now."

"Hmm?" Xiao Bao's childish voice was filled with doubt: "Father, please tell me quickly, what does Mother want?"

Yun Zhuo ruffled his fluffy head: "You'll find out on the day of Prince Ding's wedding."

Xiao Bao said, "The Prince of Ding's wedding is still at least a few months away. I won't live to see that day."

Yun Zhuo frowned slightly and turned to look at him.

But the little guy looked serious and calm, as if he was just stating a fact, not deliberately saying anything shocking to attract the adults' attention.

However, Yun Zhuo still said, "I've heard that what children say before they lose their baby teeth is very accurate, so don't say anything carelessly."

Xiao Bao just smiled.

It was as if what was just said wasn't a serious matter.

Ye Qingxue did not return to Guanju Courtyard, but went to the front yard to receive the emperor's reward.

After seeing the people from the palace off, she told Dongbai to carry a box of gold leaves to Jiangyun Pavilion.

Granny Hu blocked her way, her expression arrogant: "The Second Madam has already gone to bed, Miss, please go back."

Ye Qingxue seemed not to hear: "Please trouble Granny Hu to call all the servants in Jiangyun Pavilion over."

Granny Hu remained unmoved, her chin held high: "This is not Guanju Courtyard. This old woman serves the Second Madam. The Eldest Miss can't even order me around!"

Ye Qingxue looked straight ahead, not glancing at Hu Mama, and simply said softly, "Is that so?"

Granny Hu snorted coldly.

Ye Qingxue said, "Bai Qi, come here and taste Hu Mama's blood. Is it cold or sour?"

Granny Hu was startled and took a big step back.

Bai Qi's tall figure had already reached her, and Hu Mama's face turned ashen: "This old servant will go and fetch someone right away, young lady, please wait a moment!"

Before long, all the servants in Jiangyun Pavilion gathered in the main courtyard, and Ye Qingxue stood on the steps directly in front of them.

Dongbai stood beside her, holding a box of gold leaves.

Ye Qingxue said, "From now on, the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion will no longer be run by the Second Madam Min Yingying. Anyone who doesn't want to serve in Jiangyun Pavilion, step forward, and I will arrange a place for you, and give each of you a handful of gold leaves."

Granny Hu was shocked and immediately said, "Young Miss, you mustn't do this! You've already crippled the Second Madam; she can't be left without someone to serve her!"

Ye Qingxue smiled at her, but the smile was chilling.

Her father was killed by Min Yingying, and his body has long since turned to dust. But Min Yingying is still alive even though she is crippled. Why should she receive such meticulous care from Min Yingying?

Although Min Yingying lost her limbs, as long as these maids, servants, and old women are still there, they are all Min Yingying's limbs, running errands for her. She will never allow such a thing to happen!

Ye Qingxue grabbed a handful of gold leaves, her voice as cold as ice: "Those who don't want to leave, stand still. Those who do want to leave, this handful of gold leaves is for the first person to step forward!"

From last night until now, Min Yingying has only been crippled for a day, yet some astute people have already realized that the Marquis's mansion can no longer be managed by Min Yingying.

However, since the second young lady is engaged to Prince Ding, and the second madam has always been as close to the second young lady as mother and daughter, they still need to observe and see. Therefore, she served her very diligently today.

But now that it's dark, the second young lady hasn't come to visit, and some people feel that the situation isn't good. And now Ye Qingxue is putting pressure on them again—

The future is too far away and uncertain, so it's better to seize the money in the present. A handful of gold leaves will be enough for them to live on for a long time.

Moreover, the eldest daughter said she would relocate them.

Immediately, someone calculated the gains and losses and quickly stepped forward. It was a servant who said, "I will obey your orders, young lady."

Ye Qingxue placed the handful of gold leaves into his hand.

One after another, people came forward.

Granny Hu was so angry she could hardly breathe: "You...you are traitors!"

One of the maids retorted, "We work wherever we want to earn money, so how can it be considered betrayal? If the Second Madam continues to manage the household and continues to pay us our monthly allowances, we will still serve her."

Three or five people echoed this sentiment.

In the end, only Granny Hu and Hongzhu remained.

There weren't many gold leaves left in the box, so Ye Qingxue drew the whip coiled at her waist: "If you won't leave even after I've offered you silver, then I'll have to use this whip to 'invite' you!"

"Once the Second Miss becomes the Princess Consort of Ding, she will definitely not let you off the hook!" Granny Hu said, her words sounding strong but her heart was weak.

Ye Qingxue lashed out with her whip: "Your second young lady will never set foot in Jiangyun Pavilion again. If she ever does come, it will only be for revenge!"
