"But that Cui'er..."
Thinking of this, Green Lotus couldn't help but feel worried. "Miss, Cui'er must have gone back to inform others."
"If Lord Jiang knew all this, wouldn't he..."
Before Lühe could finish speaking, Ye Jintang asked a question in return.
"Are you worried that Jiang Mubai will come after me?"
Ye Jintang became increasingly disdainful as he spoke, "It's good that he's here, there are some things I haven't settled accounts with him for yet."
When Cui'er returned to the Marquis's residence, she was already panting heavily, as no one was chasing after her.
The steward couldn't help but feel puzzled by Green Lotus's behavior.
"Miss Cui'er, what's wrong with you?"
"Lord...Lord, where are you now? I have urgent business to discuss with you."
Upon hearing this, the butler immediately sensed something was wrong. Cui'er had always been Su Xuerou's person, so what could make him act this way must be related to the Second Madam.
"Miss Cui'er, has something happened to the Second Madam?"
"Steward, don't ask any more questions. Take me to see the Marquis right away."
Cui'er was extremely anxious.
"The Marquis is currently in his study. I'll take you there now."
Seeing the urgency of the situation, the steward dared not ask Cui'er any more questions.
Inside the study.
Jiang Mubai was worried about the current situation. His mother was still not awake, and then Su He's incident happened.
If this matter could directly put Ye Jintang in a difficult situation, that would be fine. But if it couldn't, the consequences... just thinking about it made Jiang Mubai uneasy.
Most importantly, lately, for some reason, he has a vague feeling that something bad is going to happen.
Just as Jiang Mubai was pondering a solution, the butler's voice came from outside.
"My lord, Cui'er, the maidservant of the second madam, has something important to report to you."
The butler went into the study first to report to Jiang Mubai.
"Something important?"
Jiang Mubai hesitated, but immediately realized that something was amiss.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let her in right away!"
When Cui'er entered, her first words to Jiang Mubai were, "My lord, something terrible has happened! The Second Madam has been taken to the palace by the Sixth Princess."
"What?"
Jiang Mubai was stunned upon hearing Cui'er's words. The butler did not leave immediately, and also showed a shocked expression.
"If she didn't go to the Rebirth Hall, how could she have been brought into the palace by the Sixth Princess?"
Jiang Mubai found it increasingly strange.
The steward chimed in, "Miss Cui'er, you should quickly explain what happened to the Marquis. What exactly happened and why is this happening?"
"I……"
In her panic, Cui'er stammered.
"Miss Cui'er, what's wrong with you now..."
The butler paced anxiously, and Jiang Mubai, already annoyed by the situation, roared out in anger.
"Shut up, all of you!"
"Cui'er, you only need to tell me whether Ye Jintang has anything to do with Xue Rou being brought into the palace by the Sixth Princess."
Under Jiang Mubai's gaze, Cui'er became extremely nervous.
"At that time, the Sixth Princess came out of Huisheng Hall, which is why she took the Second Madam away."
Jiang Mubai understood everything upon hearing this.
Even if he were a marquis, he couldn't directly enter the palace and demand that the sixth princess release the person.
The only thing he could do right now was to go to Huishengtang and find that vicious woman Ye Jintang to get to the bottom of things. It just so happened that it concerned his mother's illness, and he was just about to go and settle accounts with Ye Jintang.
Now is the perfect opportunity.
"What are you waiting for? Come with me to the Hall of Resurrection!"
Jiang Mubai glanced in Cui'er's direction, signaling her to hurry up and follow.
He will not let Ye Jintang off easily in this matter!
Soon Jiang Mubai led his men into the Resurrection Hall, but as soon as he stepped inside, a large wolfhound charged toward them.
Jiang Mubai noticed something was wrong and dodged to the side.
However, the guards who came with them were not so lucky, and screams echoed through the Resurrection Hall.
"Where did this dog come from? Get it away right now!"
Jiang Mubai looked at the rest of the people in Huisheng Hall and gave an angry command.
These people looked at each other, their faces filled with helplessness.
“My lord, Da Bai always has its own ideas, and we can’t control who it bites.”
"you……"
Jiang Mubai was furious at what these people said. It was just a slightly larger beast, yet it had its own thoughts.
This is clearly just an excuse.
Seeing that the people from Huishengtang had no intention of interfering, Jiang Mubai drew his sword and was about to strike.
To Jiang Mubai's surprise, Da Bai was extremely fast and could easily dodge these attacks.
Woof woof!
While dodging, Da Bai roared at Jiang Mubai.
"That shameless man dares to attack me!"
Ye Jintang felt helpless listening to Da Bai's incessant chatter.
"Woman, are you really not going to investigate and control things anymore? Making me, a dog, take the brunt of your anger is too much of a bully for a dog."
The dog's barking quickly attracted the attention of those around.
Among the onlookers, some even recognized Jiang Mubai's identity directly, and they clicked their tongues in amazement.
"Look, isn't that Lord Jiang? He's fighting with a dog!"
"That's right, this is the first time I've ever seen something like this. But the dog that Huishengtang keeps is very smart."
“When I came here for a consultation last time, it understood everything I said to it.”
Hearing this, the people present were even more surprised.
"However, judging from the current situation, Lord Jiang is clearly at a disadvantage."
These words made Jiang Mubai both angry and annoyed.
He didn't know why he felt weak in his hands, as if some resistance was preventing him from moving.
This is truly bizarre.
Ye Jintang originally didn't want to get involved in these matters. Because Da Bai had eaten the space fruit, its attack power was different from that of ordinary dogs. Furthermore, she had set up a restriction in the Rebirth Hall.
If you want to take action on her turf, you have to ask her permission first.
When it was almost done, Ye Jintang came out.
"What does Lord Jiang want to do by bringing his men to my Huisheng Hall?"
Ye Jintang's voice came through.
Jiang Mubai looked in the direction of Ye Jintang following the sound. Just as he was about to say something, he heard a tearing sound and Da Bai bit off a large part of Jiang Mubai's sleeve.
Although it didn't seriously harm Jiang Mubai, it was extremely embarrassing to be in front of so many people.
"Damn beast!"
Jiang Mubai was so angry that he gritted his teeth and wanted to kill the big wolfhound.
But whenever the idea comes up, that resistance reappears.
The others did not do so, and Jiang Mubai fixed his gaze on Ye Jintang.
"Ye Jintang, what exactly do you want to do!"
"Tsk."
Ye Jintang said disdainfully, her gaze towards Jiang Mubai becoming increasingly contemptuous.
"Jiang Mubai, I shouldn't be asking you that. Did you not experience those days at Dali Temple and want to do it all over again?"
"If that's the case, then I'm not unsatisfied."
Jiang Mubai's face was gloomy. He could now conclude that this poisonous woman had done it on purpose.
To expose one's own shortcomings in front of so many people!!!
