Jiang Mubai seemed even more agitated, unable to pinpoint exactly what was wrong.
"It's the Minister's residence... I've heard that Minister Su has been arrested by the Dali Temple."
"What?"
Jiang Mubai was shocked again and continued to press the butler for answers to his earlier questions.
"Have you found out exactly where the problem lies?"
Given the status of the Minister's Mansion and his father-in-law, Minister Su, even the Court of Judicial Review would need a respectable reason to arrest someone.
To even obtain the Emperor's permission, could it be...?
Jiang Mubai seemed to have thought of something, and his expression turned extremely ugly.
The butler kept observing Jiang Mubai's expression as he spoke, and his attitude became more cautious.
"My lord, I only heard about this from others, and I have no way of knowing what really happened."
"Why don't you go to the Minister's residence yourself, perhaps..." Before the steward could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Jiang Mubai's sharp gaze.
"Alright, you can leave now."
Jiang Mubai said coldly, "Although I don't know why Minister Su was with the Dali Temple, the fact that the steward knows about this matter means it must be true."
He vaguely felt that this incident was also related to Ye Jintang and Ye He.
It's even quite possible that, through Ye Jintang, he might be implicated.
He hasn't resolved the issues within the household yet, and he's afraid he'll be implicated by other matters.
The consequences... Jiang Mubai clenched his fist. No, he had to be prepared before anything happened.
Otherwise, if something really happens, it will be too late.
It seems that he must go to Huishengtang tomorrow, and even for some time to come, no matter what means he has to use, even if it means begging and pleading, to get Ye Jintang to come and treat his mother.
Thinking this, Jiang Mubai suddenly felt a little regretful.
If he had known that Ye Jintang's departure would lead to this situation, he would have used any special means to try and keep Ye Jintang here.
He should have treated Ye Jintang better.
In the following days, Jiang Mubai frequently appeared in Huishengtang. Ye Jintang ignored him, and Jiang Mubai just stayed in Huishengtang.
He would even tell people that Ye Jintang was his ex-wife the moment he saw them.
Green Lotus was indignant, especially since Jiang Mubai's behavior could only be described as shameless.
How could Jiang Mubai not know what kind of life Miss lived in the Marquis's mansion?
The answer is clearly not like that; this Lord Jiang not only knew about it, but even condoned it.
And yet he still speaks so shamelessly.
Filled with anger, Green Lotus stepped forward and said to Jiang Mubai, "Lord Jiang, my young lady has nothing to do with you now, so please don't talk nonsense in front of outsiders."
“What you’re doing will not only affect the patient’s treatment, but it will also make people think that you are not in a normal state.”
Having been by Ye Jintang's side for a long time, Lühe also realized that one cannot be soft-hearted when dealing with certain special people.
Especially those who deliberately come here to cause trouble. In her opinion, Jiang Mubai clearly knows this very well and is deliberately coming here to cause trouble.
As the young lady said before, giving those who cause trouble leeway often leaves hidden dangers for the future.
It is also a form of self-harm, and Green Lotus said these words without any regard for the consequences.
Upon hearing Green Lotus's words, Jiang Mubai was clearly taken aback, obviously not expecting a maid to dare to say such a thing.
If Ye Jintang had said these words, he would have tolerated them due to certain political stances.
But what is Green Lotus? She's just a lowly maid, yet she dares to be so arrogant here!
Jiang Mubai's expression darkened instantly as he looked at Lühe and asked in a deep voice, "Lühe, do you know who I am? Who gave you the audacity to speak to me like that?"
Green Lotus, however, showed no fear whatsoever. Even when faced with Jiang Mubai's urgent and threatening words, she remained even calmer.
“My lord, I know your status, but this is the Hall of Resurrection, not your Marquis’s residence. Your current behavior and words have seriously affected others.”
Zhou Zheng also stepped forward after hearing the commotion.
“Lord Jiang, I think Green Lotus is right. Since you emphasize your status, please don’t do anything that would be unbecoming of your status.”
Those present, listening to the conversation, roughly understood what had happened.
“Lord Jiang, I think Manager Zhou and Miss Lvhe are right. Even if Doctor Ye was once your wife, now that you are divorced, she has nothing to do with you. Why do you continue to entangle yourself here?”
"that is."
Because of this discussion, the people around also chimed in, and some even began to mention Jiang Mubai's faults.
"I heard that when Lord Jiang returned from his campaign, he brought back a woman and said he wanted to marry her as a concubine."
"That's not right. If that's the case, why is Lord Jiang still here? Isn't he afraid of upsetting his other wife?"
"Come on. I've heard that his wife is Minister Su's illegitimate daughter, and I've also recently heard that the reason Minister Su was imprisoned by the Dali Temple was because of his involvement in framing General Ye."
"Tell me, what do you think about General Ye marrying Minister Su's illegitimate daughter...?"
These discussions escalated, causing Jiang Mubai's anger to rise rapidly.
He was a marquis, after all; how could he swallow this insult from these people?
Enraged, Jiang Mubai threw a punch at the man who was talking so enthusiastically.
The man was clearly not expected by Jiang Mubai's sudden attack, and he fell to the ground, spitting out blood.
This scene caused panic among the people around, and some even shouted, "Something's wrong! Everyone come and see! Lord Jiang has hurt someone!"
"How dare a dignified marquis injure someone! Is there no law left?!"
Everyone surrounded Jiang Mubai, their tone full of reproach.
Once he calmed down, Jiang Mubai couldn't help but feel annoyed. Why did he suddenly start a fight?
He came here hoping to force Ye Jintang to show himself by relying on the local people and some rumors, but now the situation is turning against him, and people have even been injured.
Upon seeing the man fall, Zhou Zheng immediately stepped forward to check on him. Then, he angrily said to Jiang Mubai, "Lord Jiang, this man was already injured. Even if he said something wrong, you could have just pointed it out. Why did you have to take action?"
"Do you know that doing this could result in someone dying?!"
Jiang Mubai's expression grew increasingly grim. In the past, he wouldn't have bothered with such a thing at all.
But now the situation has changed, and he has to have deeper concerns about some things.
He'll remember this today. The day he recovers, he'll make everyone here pay!
