Jiang Mubai didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this.
"Tsk."
"And now?" As Ye Jintang finished speaking, the dozen or so burly men who had been surrounding her all fell down.
These people seemed to have lost all their strength, and even getting up became difficult.
Ye Jintang narrowed her eyes and walked closer to Jiang Mubai. "Lord Marquis, why don't you tell me now who is the one who should kneel down and apologize?"
Jiang Mubai's pupils contracted, never expecting that the people he brought would collapse before even getting close to Ye Jintang.
Seeing that Ye Jintang was still approaching, Jiang Mubai unconsciously stepped back.
"Ye Jintang, what exactly do you want to do!"
"Nothing much," Ye Jintang said calmly. "It's just that the Marquis just mentioned kneeling down to apologize, and I'd like the Marquis to demonstrate first."
Ye Jintang blinked. "Since you can say such things, Your Excellency must be very experienced in these matters, right?"
"What are you all standing there for? Get up right now!"
Jiang Mubai shouted angrily at the guards.
"Lord...Lord, we don't know why, we can't muster any strength at all."
The guards collapsed to the ground, weakly addressing Jiang Mubai.
"waste!"
Jiang Mubai said angrily, his eyes now filled with more vigilance as he looked at Ye Jintang.
"Ye Jintang, what exactly did you use to turn these people into this!"
"No, you're not Ye Jintang at all."
Jiang Mubai seemed to realize something and angrily said to Ye Jintang.
Ye Jintang stopped at this moment and replied unhurriedly, "Then why don't you tell me, my lord, if I am not Ye Jintang, then who am I?"
"The Ye Jintang of the past was not like you at all."
Although he had been away from the capital for two years, his previous experiences were enough for him to notice the changes in Ye Jintang.
But after saying that, Jiang Mubai didn't see any panic on Ye Jintang's face, or even a trace of emotion.
"You are not Jiang Mubai either."
"What?"
Although the guards were unable to get up, they were still conscious. Upon hearing this, they looked at the two men with incredulous eyes, unable to tell what had happened.
"Ye Jintang, what nonsense are you spouting!"
Jiang Mubai asked angrily.
"Jiang Mubai, have you forgotten how you showed off in front of me before?"
"Now that things have turned out this way, my true nature has been revealed."
Upon hearing Ye Jintang's words, Jiang Mubai's expression instantly turned ugly; he had not forgotten those matters.
But back then, he had no one to rely on, and the only way was to climb up the big tree of the General's Mansion, and making Ye Jintang devoted to him was the most important thing.
If Ye He were still alive, perhaps he would still be willing to put on an act in front of Ye Jintang, but now there is absolutely no possibility of that.
If Ye Jintang behaves well, that's fine; if he doesn't, he has plenty of ways and means to deal with him.
"you……"
Jiang Mubai was seething with hatred, but he couldn't do anything about Ye Jintang.
"How can I be the same as you?"
"So, Lord Marquis, you don't want your mother to wake up?"
Ye Jintang didn't want to waste any more words with Jiang Mubai. She hadn't intended to get entangled with these people since she came back this time.
The most important thing is to get back the original owner's dowry.
"I knew my mother's coma was related to you!"
Hearing Ye Jintang say this, Jiang Mubai suddenly felt a sense of anger, as if he understood everything.
"What exactly do you want?!"
"It's very simple. The reason your mother is unconscious is because of you."
Ye Jintang spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Explain yourself to me clearly."
Jiang Mubai frowned even more, but then Ye Jintang continued, "In the past two years, the Marquis's mansion has long been out of money to make ends meet. The medical expenses for your mother and the monthly wages for the servants in the mansion have all been drawn from my dowry. Jiang Mubai, do you acknowledge this or not?"
"So what? As the mistress of the Marquis's mansion, and your mother as your mother-in-law, it's only natural that you have to work hard."
"Ye Jintang, are you going to argue with me about these things now?"
Ye Jintang scoffed, "Are you saying that I should take all these things for granted?"
"Isn't that right?"
"In that case, I will go and deliver these accounts to the authorities now. Whether they are justified or not will be clear in time. Besides..."
Ye Jintang looked in Jiang Mubai's direction and said, "I suppose the Marquis knows that I saved His Highness the Regent. If he finds out about the account book, the Marquis will probably have a hard time moving forward."
Threatened? Ye Jintang was definitely threatening himself.
Since this wicked woman knows that she saved the Regent, she should use this favor to scheme against him.
Little did she know that all of these things had become part of her scheme.
Unfortunately, Ye Jintang used some unknown method to render people immobile, and Jiang Mubai dared not make a move until he understood what was going on.
"What exactly do you want?!"
“Return all the silver from my dowry over the years. Back then, it was your mother who forcibly handed Zuixianju over to Wang Bao. Now that something has happened, you, as his son, also bear responsibility.”
"Your Excellency must repay all the losses incurred over the years. In addition, my dowry included a rouge shop, the deed of which is in your mother's possession."
"The Marquis doesn't want to be known as someone who swallows a woman's dowry."
Jiang Mubai took a deep breath; he was on the verge of exploding with rage.
"How much silver do you want?"
“It’s not about how much I want, but how much of my dowry I spend is what matters.”
"Green Lotus, go and bring the account books over so that our Lord Jiang can review them one by one."
"yes!"
Upon hearing Ye Jintang's order, Lühe immediately went into the room. No wonder Miss asked her to check the account books yesterday; it turned out she had already planned this.
Not long after, Green Lotus brought out the account book.
"Miss, the ledger is here."
"Send it to the Marquis."
Ye Jintang winked at Lü He.
"My lord..."
Looking at the ledger handed to him, Jiang Mubai's face turned extremely gloomy.
"What, Your Excellency doesn't even dare to look at the account books?"
Jiang Mubai glared at Ye Jintang and abruptly took the ledger from her hand.
Upon seeing the above content, Jiang Mubai could hardly conceal the shock in his eyes.
"Your dowry cost thirty thousand taels of silver, Ye Jintang. I've only been away from the Marquis's mansion for two years. What expenses could possibly require so much money!"
"The records above are not very clear. If the Marquis still has any questions, he can call the steward. He is the one who comes to report whenever your mother needs money for medical treatment."
"In addition, the 30,000 taels in the dowry is only the household expenses, and does not include the Zuixianju incident."
"Over the years, Wang Bao has been using the Marquis's name to forcibly abduct women and run Zuixianju in a chaotic mess. He deserves to be punished now, but my losses should be attributed to the Marquis."
"These add up to forty thousand taels! Ye Jintang, so you've said all this just to haggle with me over these things?"
