Even though she possesses mystical arts that can help her avoid misfortune and attract good fortune to some extent, she must understand that there is always something beyond her reach.
Moreover, it wouldn't be easy to kill Jiang Mubai directly before his luck had faded away.
Some things still need to be done step by step.
“Miss, although I don’t quite understand these principles, I will do my best to do whatever you ask.”
Ye Jintang curled her lips and smiled at Lühe, "Go find a few people and move everything that belongs to us to Huisheng Hall, leave nothing behind."
"yes!"
Green Lotus's eyes lit up, and a look of joy immediately appeared on her face. She quickly replied to Ye Jintang, "Miss, I'll do it right away."
The servants in the mansion watched as their belongings were moved away one by one, and everyone became fearful. To make matters worse, the Marquis and his second wife were taken away by the people from the Dali Temple.
The old lady was still unconscious, and under these circumstances, no one could stop Ye Jintang.
The butler was pushed in front of Ye Jintang by the servants, and he couldn't help but feel afraid when facing this lady.
"Madam, it's not really appropriate for you to move these things away like this."
Ye Jintang glanced at the butler and asked in return, "Oh? Then what do you think is good?"
"Logically, as the steward, you should know better where the money has come from over the years."
"I'm just moving my own things out, is that wrong?"
The butler was speechless after hearing Ye Jintang's words.
How could she not know these things? It's just that she used to have the old lady's support, and later the Marquis returned, so she didn't have to worry about many things.
But now...
As the butler pondered, Ye Jietang's voice came again, "Butler, if the things you do in private were to fall into the hands of the Dali Temple, you would probably have to go in with them."
"What, you want to give it a try too?"
The butler stared wide-eyed in shock, his gaze filled with fear as he begged Ye Jintang for mercy, "Madam, spare my life! I dare not do it again."
"Please, madam, spare my life."
The Dali Temple is a place where the Marquis might have a chance to come out if he goes in, but the Second Madam is, after all, the daughter of Minister Su.
They couldn't just watch him suffer for nothing, but he was just a butler; if he went in, he might never come out again.
"Don't worry, I didn't mention this matter when the people from the Dali Temple came, so I didn't intend to continue."
"It just depends on whether you're willing to listen to me."
The butler immediately understood Ye Jintang's meaning and quickly said, "I'll listen! Madam, I'll listen to whatever you instruct me to do."
"After I leave the Marquis's residence, you will report to me at the Rebirth Hall every now and then about Su Xuerou and what happened here. I don't think this request will be difficult for you."
Ye Jintang looked at the butler.
What do you think?
"Madam...you're leaving the Marquis's mansion. Are you never going to come back?"
The steward didn't react for a moment. Although Ye Jintang had been away from the Marquis's residence for some time, judging from Ye Jintang's tone now, things were clearly not like that.
"I have divorced Jiang Mubai."
"From now on, she will no longer be the 'madam' you speak of."
Ye Jintang's words shocked the steward even more. No wonder the madam wanted everyone to move all her things away; it turned out she had already divorced the Marquis.
In this way, and considering the lady's temperament, it seems that these things make sense.
But now that they had something on him, the butler dared not say anything more.
He didn't want to be imprisoned in the Dali Temple and live a life of darkness from then on.
Even if the Marquis were here, he would probably be helpless against the woman before him, let alone anyone else.
The butler quickly replied, "Don't worry, Miss, I will do whatever you ask."
Just as the steward was about to address Ye Jintang as Madam, he realized that she had divorced the Marquis and quickly changed his address.
Ye Jintang gave a soft "hmm," quite satisfied with the butler's tact.
At this moment, Green Lotus walked over and said to Ye Jintang, "Miss, everything that needs to be moved has been moved."
Ye Jintang nodded. "Let's go."
After leaving the Marquis's residence, Ye Jintang took Lühe to the Huisheng Hall to discuss the matter.
With Doctor Wang arrested and Su Xuerou's situation exposed, the government explained the situation to everyone. After Zhou Zheng and the others from Huishengtang were released, Huishengtang was also unsealed.
"Is that butler of yours truly reliable, Miss?"
When Green Lotus arrived, she overheard Ye Jintang and the housekeeper's conversation and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Ye Jintang looked at her, "Do you have any other opinions?"
"I wouldn't call it insightful, but I feel that the steward used to abuse his power because of the old lady, and he's probably only agreeing now because he's under duress. I'm afraid he might betray us in the future."
Green Lotus voiced her concerns, "Miss, I'm even more worried that the steward might spread some incorrect information."
"Wouldn't that mean..."
Ye Jintang nodded. Anyone else would indeed have concerns about Lühe's worries, but this housekeeper...
“I’ve said before that no one from the Marquis’s mansion will have a good end, and that naturally includes the steward.”
She didn't care much about the so-called housekeeper; she was more concerned with how to use these things to deplete Jiang Mubai's luck.
Given Jiang Mubai's personality, if he knew that the butler had betrayed him, how could he let it go? Once he did something extreme, it would be difficult to clean up the mess later.
Seeing Lühe's worried expression, Ye Jintang said, "I have my own considerations for this matter. Lühe, I know you are worried about these things, even my safety, but you must understand that I am not someone to be trifled with either."
"You need to be more careful; I don't want the same thing to happen again."
Do you understand what I'm saying?
As for Green Lotus, perhaps influenced by the original book's setting, she always worries too much about certain things, which makes her feel very tired.
Since she came into this world and brought Green Lotus by her side, this problem has been gradually growing.
If she hadn't already considered Lühe a close friend, this alone would have been enough for her to give up on her.
Green Lotus lowered her head, looking ashamed after hearing Ye Jintang's words.
"Miss, I understand."
She must become strong as soon as possible and must never cause any more trouble for her young mistress.
"Green Lotus, I'm telling you this just to make you understand that I don't need you to keep rushing forward in many things. You have to take care of yourself first in everything."
"Although you refer to yourself as a servant, you are still yourself."
Ye Jintang spoke earnestly.
Green Lotus opened her eyes wide, her eyes instantly welling up with tears, deeply moved.
"Miss……"
"You..." Seeing that Lühe was about to cry, Ye Jintang said, "Try to control your emotions first."
