With this title of mistress, all her efforts have not been in vain.
To everyone's surprise, early the next morning, Old Madam Jiang left the mansion with her entourage. The servants who were reporting the news couldn't stop her and hurriedly informed Su Xuerou of the matter.
"Second Madam, something terrible has happened! The Old Madam has left the manor."
Having received the news from the servants, Cui'er rushed in and reported the matter to Su Xuerou.
Su Xuerou scoffed, "What's there to panic about just leaving the manor?"
“But I heard from the guards that the old lady went to the Rebirth Hall.”
"What?"
Su Xuerou's expression changed, and she suddenly remembered yesterday and realized something.
"I knew she was asking me where Ye Jintang lived. She must be going to Huishengtang to settle scores with him."
Cui'er looked worried. "Second Madam, what should we do now..."
"Go and report this matter to the Marquis first."
Su Xuerou said that this time she could not be as reckless as before and go without making any preparations.
At least Brother Mu Bai needs to personally witness just how arrogant that bitch Ye Jintang really is.
In response, Su Xuerou immediately led her people to the main hall where Jiang Mubai was.
"Brother Mu Bai, something terrible has happened!"
Jiang Mubai frowned and asked Su Xuerou with displeasure, "What happened now?"
"Xue Rou, don't tell me it's the Minister's mansion again?"
Jiang Mubai's gaze fell on Su Xuerou, his tone tinged with suspicion.
"It's not the Minister's residence, it's my mother-in-law's place."
"Mother?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mubai immediately tensed up and pressed Su Xuerou for more information.
"Explain clearly, what exactly happened to your mother?"
“My mother-in-law heard about Ye Jintang from somewhere and went to Huishengtang early this morning. After I learned about this, I rushed back to tell you, Brother Mubai.”
"It's Ye Jintang again!"
Jiang Mubai was furious. He wasn't worried about anything else, but he was concerned about Ye Jintang and that damned beast from Huishengtang.
My mother had only just regained consciousness; if she were to be frightened again because of this...
Upon realizing this, Jiang Mubai dared not hesitate and turned to head towards Huisheng Hall, where Ye Jintang was.
Meanwhile, in the Resurrection Hall...
Ye Jintang was in the space, preparing to cast another divination regarding the current situation.
Although Ye Ling helped in the search for her father's disappearance, it wouldn't have been enough to rely on him alone.
"Ye family member, come out here!"
A shout suddenly came from outside the space.
Ye Jintang frowned slightly. The voice sounded somewhat familiar; it was…that person…
"Miss!"
After leaving the space, Ye Jintang opened the door and saw Lühe standing there, looking anxious.
"Has that old Madam Jiang arrived?"
Before Lühe could speak, Ye Jintang asked first.
"yes."
"Don't panic."
Having received a reply, Ye Jintang comforted Lü He.
“Green Lotus, you’ve been by my side for so long, you should know better how to handle these things.”
The situation will only get more and more complicated. If she is at Huisheng Hall, that's fine, but if she happens to be away for some reason, wouldn't Huisheng Hall be in chaos?
Green Lotus listened, her head bowed in shame.
Ye Jintang looked at Lühe but didn't say anything more. Some things are better left unsaid.
In the Rebirth Hall.
With his previous experience, Zhou was able to handle the situation with ease.
“Madam Jiang, if you continue to make a scene here, then I will have no choice but to send the government officials.”
With one hand supporting her cane and the other hand being helped by her maid, Madam Jiang showed no fear.
"What, are you going to send me to see the authorities?"
Madam Jiang angrily questioned.
“Let me tell you, even if you want to do this, I’m not afraid. Ye Jintang moved all my belongings out of the Marquis’s mansion. You must give me an explanation for this.”
"What do you mean, Madam Jiang? The things Miss moved all belonged to her."
"Moreover, the young lady married into the Marquis's mansion with her dowry as a supplement, but she was treated like this by you. We should be the ones asking you for an explanation."
Those present began to whisper among themselves upon hearing this.
"There's such a thing as using dowry to subsidize someone? Jiang Mubai is, after all, a marquis..."
Madam Jiang originally thought she could use this incident to suppress Ye Jintang.
Unexpectedly, before Ye Jintang even met him, her son was already being criticized by others. Almost immediately, he was scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? When has my Marquis's mansion ever needed to rely on a woman for relief?"
"Very well, this is a family matter of my Marquis's mansion. It's not something I, an outsider, can explain to you. Go and find Ye Jintang for me. I want to deal with this personally!"
Old Madam Jiang seemed determined not to leave until she received an explanation. A servant boy asked Zhou Zheng, "Manager Zhou, what do you think we should do about this?"
"We've had enough going on lately, and we absolutely cannot disturb Miss any further because of this."
Zhou Zheng said in a deep voice.
As for the old lady from the Marquis's mansion, she clearly had ill intentions.
Ye Jintang came out just in time to see this scene, and he had to admit that these people really couldn't stay still for a moment.
"Has Madam Jiang completely lost all sense of shame?"
Ye Jintang's words immediately stunned everyone, and Old Madam Jiang's eyes widened in shock when she saw who it was.
Out of anger, Old Madam Jiang trembled slightly. "Mrs. Ye, I am your mother-in-law! How dare you speak to me like that!"
"Everyone, come and see! How dare this Ye family member be so disobedient!"
Seeing the crowd gathered around her, Old Madam Jiang deliberately raised her voice.
"Madam, please don't forget that my young lady has long since lost all connection with your Marquis's mansion."
"Besides, what Manager Zhou just said is true. Ever since my young lady married into the Marquis's mansion, every single thing she has done has been subsidized with money from her dowry."
"But what happened? Not only did you not appreciate it, but you even made things difficult for me at every turn. Even though the Marquis left the manor for two years, he brought back a woman."
"How did all of this end up being blamed on my young lady?"
"Madam Jiang, if you want justice, why don't you give us justice first?"
Although Madam Jiang appeared angry, she couldn't deny that she was to some extent genuinely upset.
What Green Lotus said is indeed true.
But with so many people watching, if you just leave like this, wouldn't that be...
Madam Jiang turned her attention directly to Ye Jintang, who was standing there.
"Ye, is this what you're telling the people around you? Even if you really did make sacrifices back then, wasn't that what you, as a daughter-in-law of the Marquis's mansion, should do?"
"Everything you did was voluntary, so how did it become that we forced you?"
"So, what's the purpose of your coming here...?"
Ye Jintang was too lazy to listen to Old Madam Jiang's nonsense anymore, and directly asked a question.
"Return everything that was taken from my manor!"
"Green Lotus, go and report to the authorities."
Madam Jiang was stunned, not expecting Ye Jietang to actually do it. She stood there for a long time, unable to react.
"No!"
After saying this, Jiang Mubai strode in.
