He felt that everything that happened in the Hou family was related to Ye Jintang, but he couldn't find any useful clues to bring that poisonous woman to justice.
"My lord, Miss Su has arrived."
Upon hearing the guard's report, Jiang Mubai gave a soft "hmm" and gestured for the guard to come in.
After Su Xuerou entered the study, the others quickly left.
"Xue Rou, the doctor said you need to rest properly, so why are you here?"
Jiang Mubai walked up to Su Xuerou with a puzzled look and asked her a question.
"Brother Mu Bai, I'm much better now, but I've heard some rumors these past few days and I'm not sure if I should say them."
After saying that, Su Xuerou lowered her head, looking very troubled.
"rumor?"
Jiang Mubai frowned, and seeing Su Xuerou like this, he vaguely felt that this was not a trivial matter.
He took Su Xuerou's hand and said softly, "Xuerou, just say what's on your mind. There's no need for any other considerations between us."
Su Xuerou felt delighted by Jiang Mubai's sweet words, knowing that she was special in his heart.
This only strengthened Su Xuerou's resolve to replace Ye Jintang.
"Brother Mu Bai, I heard that something happened to the Resurrection Hall that my sister runs."
“Sister? Huisheng Hall…” Jiang Mubai was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening, and anger flashed in his eyes.
In that instant, Jiang Mubai realized that the "sister" Su Xuerou mentioned referred to Ye Jintang.
He snorted coldly, his voice revealing utter disdain for Ye Jintang.
"What could possibly happen to her?"
You know, the last time at the clinic, Ye Jintang was incredibly arrogant in front of me. Relying on being the Regent's savior, he didn't even put me, his husband, in his eyes.
It's best if such a vicious woman doesn't fall into his hands, otherwise, if he doesn't teach her a lesson, it will be hard to quell his resentment.
Su Xuerou was observing Jiang Mubai's expression when she mentioned things related to Ye Jintang.
"Brother Mu Bai, it seems there's something wrong with the medicinal herbs at Huishengtang, which is why the local people are coming to demand an explanation."
Su Xuerou feigned concern, "Although you are not in the Marquis's mansion now, you are still Brother Mubai's wife. I am worried that if things get out of hand, it will be detrimental to you, Brother Mubai."
"Such a thing is true?"
Jiang Mubai's expression grew increasingly gloomy. "I knew that Ye Jintang was always up to no good."
"No, I must go." Jiang Mubai said sternly.
It's one thing for Ye Jintang to cause trouble on her own, but he absolutely cannot let her drag the Marquis's mansion into it, and he will not allow such a thing to happen.
Seeing that Jiang Mubai was about to cause trouble for Ye Jintang, Su Xuerou revealed a smug smile.
She knew that given Jiang Mubai's dislike for Ye Jintang, he would never let the matter rest, and the present moment was the best proof of that.
"Brother Mu Bai, I'll go with you."
Upon seeing Su Xuerou follow, Jiang Mubai paused in his steps.
"Xue Rou, I can handle this matter by myself. You stay in the manor. Mother is still in a coma and needs someone by her side."
As Jiang Mubai spoke, he gave Su Xuerou a look that he thought was one of deep affection.
"Xue Rou, I promise you that I will marry you once my mother has regained consciousness."
Although Su Xuerou wanted to see Ye Jintang being scolded and looking disheveled, she nodded in agreement after hearing Jiang Mubai's words.
"Brother Mu Bai, don't worry, I'll take care of the old lady here."
Meanwhile, Ye Jintang, led by Da Bai, arrived at a small alley.
Green Lotus followed beside her, keeping a watchful eye on her surroundings as she moved forward.
"Miss, there seems to be an alley ahead. Is that troublemaker really here?"
Before Ye Jintang could answer, Da Bai had already cast a dissatisfied glance at him.
Woof.
[Of course I am. Don't doubt my ability to find people.]
Although Green Lotus couldn't understand what Big White was saying, the way it looked at her seemed to express her earlier doubts.
She shut her mouth and said no more. Ye Jintang just looked at the man and the dog and walked deeper into the alley without saying anything.
Woof woof woof.
[Woman, there are two of them right in front of us.]
Hearing this, Ye Jintang nodded and said to Lühe, "You and Dabai stay here, I'll go in and take a look."
Green Lotus nodded, then, noticing how dark the alley was, whispered to Ye Jintang, "Miss, please be extra careful."
"good."
After saying that, Ye Jintang walked towards the alley until he reached a corner, where he heard voices coming from inside.
“Young Master Wang, we only went to Huishengtang to cause trouble on your orders, but now we have somehow disturbed the government and my second and third brothers have both been arrested. You should give me an explanation for this.”
The one who spoke was the burly man who had fled, and the one he called Young Master Wang was someone Ye Jintang knew all too well—it was Wang Bao.
It's unbelievable that Wang Bao, who was arrested and taken to the Dali Temple, was released again. It's hard to believe there wasn't something fishy going on.
After the burly man finished speaking, Wang Bao's dismissive voice followed, "Why are you in such a hurry? With that Miss Su here, he's just a mere prefect, what's the big deal?"
"You need to understand that I was imprisoned by the Dali Temple back then, and that Miss Su managed to get me out, let alone you, a mere prefect."
"Just do as I say, and you'll be well rewarded afterwards."
"Yes, Young Master Wang is right."
The burly man immediately nodded and bowed upon hearing Wang Bao's words.
"However, the Huishengtang keeps an extremely ferocious wolfhound, which is not easy to get close to."
"Moreover, Ye Jintang's identity."
"Hmph! It's just a wolfhound, what's the big deal?"
Wang Bao cursed angrily, "As for that Ye Jintang, she's just a woman in the end."
"Let's see how they handle things once the Huishengtang incident blows up."
Wang Bao clenched his fists, his teeth clenched with hatred as he mentioned this.
The thought that a grown man like him could fall for a woman made him angrier and angrier.
Ye Jintang heard about the two men's plan but was in no hurry to appear. As for the Miss Su they mentioned, she already had her answer in her heart.
So, it seems that Su Xuerou used her connections to get Wang Bao away from the Dali Temple. How interesting.
Ye Jintang scoffed. Since these people wanted to play, she didn't mind playing along to the end.
After leaving the alley, I saw Green Lotus and Big White waiting there.
Big White first barked.
[How is the woman? Is there anything I can help her with?]
Ever since eating those fruits, Big White has felt full of energy.
Green Lotus also looked at Ye Jintang with a worried expression.
"Miss, inside..."
"Let's go back first."
Ye Jintang did not rush to answer.
As they approached Huishengtang, Da Bai finally couldn't help but bark incessantly.
