"My lord... this servant truly does not know. The old lady did indeed wake up just now."
The maids inside the room trembled with fear at Jiang Mubai's roar and all knelt down on the ground.
Faced with these people's pleas for mercy, Jiang Mubai felt a lump in his throat, but couldn't find any other way to vent his anger.
Su Xuerou also entered at this moment. She looked worriedly at the unconscious Old Madam Jiang on the bed, and then raised her hand to signal the maids to leave.
The maids glanced at Jiang Mubai subconsciously, and seeing that he did not intend to stop them, they cast grateful looks at Su Xuerou.
Only after the maids left did Su Xuerou say to Jiang Mubai, "Brother Mubai, do you remember when I went to the temple to pray for blessings last time?"
Seeing Jiang Mubai looking over, Su Xuerou continued, "I once told the high monk at the temple about the old lady's condition. The master said that if medicine could not cure the old lady's condition, then she was possessed by an evil spirit."
"Absurd, how could my mother be possessed by an evil spirit when she was perfectly fine?"
Jiang Mubai immediately denied Su Xuerou's statement. He would never have believed such superstitious and bizarre claims unless he had seen them with his own eyes.
Su Xuerou sighed softly, "Brother Mu Bai, it's always better to be cautious."
“I heard that the Empress Dowager has been missing recently, and the place where she disappeared is the bamboo forest where I encountered strange things.”
"Brother Mu Bai, don't you think this is too much of a coincidence?"
It wasn't until Su Xuerou saw the portrait of the Empress Dowager that she belatedly realized that the woman she had Xiao Tao guarding by her side that day was actually the Empress Dowager.
But those monsters are so ferocious, they are probably doomed.
Jiang Mubai frowned. After Su Xuerou said that, and considering his mother's condition, it was indeed strange. He had no choice but to agree, "Alright, I'll have someone invite a Taoist priest in a couple of days."
"Xue Rou, have you noticed anything else strange besides this?"
Thinking of how Su Xuerou had risked her life to protect him at the clinic, Jiang Mubai's gaze softened even more.
Only a gentle and kind woman like her deserves his affection.
"Brother Mu Bai, do you think my sister has changed a lot?"
"Hmph." Jiang Mubai flicked his sleeves, feeling a surge of anger whenever he thought of Ye Jintang.
"That vicious woman Ye Jintang is a master of bluffing; I've truly seen through her!"
“Brother Mu Bai, since that’s the case, why not take this opportunity…”
Seeing an opportunity, Su Xuerou gently persuaded Jiang Mubai.
To Su Xuerou's surprise, although Jiang Mubai said he hated Ye Jintang, he was still hesitant to take direct action.
Even though Ye He is dead, none of his former subordinates believe that he would commit treason.
At this time, Ye Jintang's presence becomes especially important.
As Ye He's son-in-law, he enjoys certain advantages in terms of status. Before eliminating or recruiting those subordinates, keeping Ye Jintang around is still very useful.
Most importantly, Yip Kam-tong has now become the Regent's savior.
You must know that he is the Regent. If he could get the prince's support, he could avoid many detours in his future career.
That's why, although Jiang Mubai was furious, he allowed Ye Jintang to stay at the clinic.
She's just a woman after all; if he keeps a close eye on her, he can see how much trouble she can cause.
"Brother Mu Bai..."
Seeing that Su Xuerou wanted to continue with the topic of Ye Jintang, Jiang Mubai spoke up to interrupt her.
"Alright, let's not talk about that poisonous woman now, Xue Rou."
"The most urgent task is for my mother to regain consciousness as soon as possible."
Although Su Xuerou couldn't get Jiang Mubai to say what to do with Ye Jintang, she nodded in agreement as she listened to his words.
"Xue Rou, I'll leave this matter of inviting the Taoist priest to you."
"Don't worry, Brother Mu Bai, I will take care of this matter as soon as possible."
Little did they know that the little bee would soon tell Ye Jintang about the situation here.
Woof woof.
[Where did these bees come from? They're so annoying!]
Da Bai watched as the little bee kept buzzing around Ye Jintang.
After reporting the matter of the Marquis's mansion to Ye Jintang, the little bee heard the barking of the big white dog.
Buzzing.
Woof woof woof.
Big White jumped up immediately after being stung by the little bee.
Hearing Da Bai's barking, Green Lotus thought something had happened in the house and rushed over to check. She saw a little bee chasing and stinging Da Bai.
"Miss, what's wrong with Big White?"
Knowing that her young mistress could understand animal speech, Green Lotus was filled with curiosity about every single sound.
Ye Jintang glanced at the big white dog that was barking loudly and replied casually.
"It's acting strangely."
Green Lotus was surprised, but seeing that Big White did indeed look a bit like he was having a fit, she nodded in agreement.
After the little bee finally flew away, Big White heard the two talking and barked again.
[Woman, you can't do this! You actually saw a dog and didn't help it, sob, how heartless!]
Ye Jintang was speechless, especially since Da Bai had started to lie on the ground and act cute.
"If you act up again, I'll throw you out."
After Ye Jintang finished speaking, Da Bai immediately fell silent.
This woman is truly heartless enough to throw it out.
The barking also subsided.
[This is terrible. I'll go find Zhou Zheng; he'll give me a bone to eat.]
Big White left quickly, not daring to linger for even a moment longer.
Although Green Lotus couldn't understand what Big White was saying with its barking, she was already amazed by its expression, actions, and departure.
Fortunately, she has gotten used to Baymax's presence over the past few days.
"Green Lotus, keep an eye out these next couple of days to see if anyone is looking for the Taoist priest."
"yes."
Green Lotus nodded, and then, as if remembering something, she said to Ye Jintang, "By the way, Miss, this morning some government officials came with a portrait to ask Zhou Zheng and me if we had seen the Empress Dowager."
"Then the Empress Dowager..."
Thinking that the Empress Dowager had been in a coma since that day, Green Lotus felt somewhat worried.
"Judging by the time, it's about time to wake up."
Ye Jintang glanced at the room where the Empress Dowager was. Due to the two baleful auras, the Empress Dowager had been affected to some extent, which was why she had not yet woken up.
However, this is not a big problem for Yip Kam Tong.
"You and Zhou Zheng just need to do your own thing. As for other things, don't worry about them. I'm here for you."
Ye Jintang knew that Lühe was worried about him.
After all, the other party is the Empress Dowager. If something happens to her, especially if she is discovered in a medical clinic, she will definitely be the first to be punished.
"Yes, I understand."
Green Lotus nodded, showing unconditional trust in Ye Jintang.
Since our young lady is so capable, and she said there's no problem, there certainly won't be any other issues.
As a maid, all she could do was obey.
Without her intervention, Jiang Mubai's mother would have had a difficult time regaining consciousness.
