Thinking of this, Su Xuerou revealed a smug smile. She wanted to see what other tricks that bitch Ye Jintang had up her sleeve this time.
"Fine, then kneel down."
Ye Jintang's words startled Su Xuerou, who stared at her in disbelief.
After a long pause, she hesitantly asked, "What...what did you just say?"
"I said, then kneel down. What, can't you understand such a simple thing?"
Ye Jintang curled her lips into a smile, a hint of mockery in her eyes, "Or were you just putting on an act?"
"Naturally, it is not."
Su Xuerou hated Ye Jintang to the core, but she couldn't show any other emotions in front of Jiang Mubai.
Kneeling in front of so many people was even more painful than being kicked out. Su Xuerou absolutely could not accept this outcome.
At this, Su Xuerou's eyes filled with tears, and she looked in the direction of Jiang Mubai.
Jiang Mubai couldn't stand Su Xuerou's behavior and angrily said to Ye Jintang, "Ye Jintang, don't go too far. Even if Xuerou was wrong about Huishengtang, she has already been punished. Besides, your Huishengtang didn't suffer any losses."
"I am the master of this manor; it is not your place to be one."
host! "
After reprimanding her, Jiang Mubai dragged Su Xuerou away.
This time, he wasn't afraid of Ye Jintang, that vicious woman, but rather he was too lazy to bother with her.
"Miss, the Marquis and Su Xuerou are also there..."
Seeing Jiang Mubai leave with Su Xuerou, Lühe felt even more indignant for her young mistress's plight.
They are the ones who always cause trouble, yet they always act like victims.
Ye Jintang remained calm, "Don't you think these two are surprisingly well-matched?"
"So, Miss, are you going to let today's matter go?"
While agreeing with Ye Jintang, Lühe was also a little worried. If Su Xuerou was really the second young lady of the Minister's mansion, even if she was just a mistress, she should still be wary.
"How can we just let it go like this?" Ye Jintang's eyes narrowed slightly, a cold glint flashing in them. She beckoned to Lühe, "I have some things to tell you to do."
"Please give your instructions, Miss."
Although Su Xuerou, who was taken away by Jiang Mubai, avoided the kneeling incident, she still felt wronged.
She thought that Jiang Mubai would take some action after reprimanding Ye Jintang, but it turned out that it was just empty words.
"Brother Mu Bai, should I not stay here?"
Su Xuerou suddenly stopped and asked Jiang Mubai.
Upon hearing Su Xuerou's words, Jiang Mubai quickly realized that Ye Jintang must have said something to her. He gently comforted her, "Don't talk nonsense, Xuerou. Don't be influenced by Ye Jintang. No one can do anything to you without my order."
After hearing Jiang Mubai's words, Su Xuerou felt much more at ease.
Over the next few days, Ye Jintang traveled back and forth between the Marquis's residence and Huishengtang.
That day, as soon as she returned to the Marquis's residence, she heard the whispers of the maids not far away.
Green Lotus tried to step forward but was stopped by Ye Jintang.
"Have you heard? It turns out that this Miss Su is actually the second young lady of the Minister's mansion. I don't know what she fed the old lady, but it made the old lady, who had been unconscious for so long, wake up."
Ye Jintang and Lühe exchanged a glance, both sensing something amiss in their conversation, especially the part about what Su Xuerou gave the old lady to eat.
She did not appear directly in front of the maids, but left with Lühe. Unexpectedly, as soon as she returned to the courtyard, she saw a maid standing there, who seemed to have been waiting for some time.
The maidservant saw Ye Jintang bow and greeted her, "Greetings, Madam."
Ye Jintang gave a soft "hmm" and asked in a calm tone, "What brings you here?"
"Reporting to Madam, the old lady woke up an hour ago and now requests your presence."
"Is there anyone else, Madam?" Ye Jintang asked the maid again.
"Other people?" The maid hesitated for a moment, looking at Ye Jintang with a puzzled expression.
"Madam, who are you referring to?"
Green Lotus understood Ye Jintang's meaning as soon as she asked the question, and immediately replied, "Madam is asking if Su Xuerou is in the old lady's courtyard."
"Yes, Miss Su has been by the old lady's side ever since she regained consciousness."
"I understand, you may leave now."
Ye Jintang said.
After the maid left, Green Lotus looked worried. "Miss, this is probably another scheme by Su Xuerou. The old lady's summons to you this time is probably not for good purposes."
"What's there to be afraid of?"
Ye Jintang remained calm about the matter. The only thing that puzzled her was why the old lady was able to wake up at this time. Logically, without her intervention, it would be impossible to wake someone from a coma unless the other party used some special methods.
She suddenly thought of the pendant Su Xuerou was wearing, and wondered if the old lady's lucidity might be related to this.
For that reason alone, she felt it necessary to go and see.
“Miss, I will go with you.”
"No need."
Ye Jintang sighed helplessly. Green Lotus was good in every way, except that she liked to worry, especially at the slightest disturbance.
“Green Lotus, you know my abilities. Besides, this is the Marquis’s residence. These people won’t dare to do anything openly.”
Ye Jintang said to Lü He.
Green Lotus nodded, but the sight of the Marquis bringing his men that day still made her somewhat worried.
She was just thinking that if anything really happened, she could rush out to protect her young mistress.
"Be good and stay here. I'll be back soon."
Green Lotus blushed instantly upon hearing Ye Jintang's words.
Meanwhile, in the old lady's courtyard, Su Xuerou stood to one side, her expression full of fear.
"Madam, regarding Young Master Wang and Madam Wang, my sister..."
"What about her?" The old lady frowned, already sensing the hidden meaning in Su Xuerou's words.
"Xue Rou, just tell me what you want to say. Now that I'm awake, I won't let the Ye family do whatever they want."
Su Xuerou was secretly pleased. Now she was the heroine who had saved the old lady, and with what happened at Zuixianju, that bitch Ye Jintang wouldn't have an easy time.
Brother Mu Bai already disliked Ye Jintang, and now with the addition of the old lady, even if Ye Jintang is the mistress of the mansion, her future days will only become more difficult.
Su Xuerou reported everything that happened at Zuixianju and during this period to Old Madam Jiang.
"You said Zuixianju was shut down and Leopard was exiled, so... what about my sister?"
"younger sister?"
Upon hearing what Madam Jiang said, Su Xuerou immediately recalled the events of that day.
"Madam, are you referring to Young Master Wang's mother, Madam Wang?"
"That's right," Old Madam Jiang replied, then pressed Su Xuerou for an answer, "Xuerou, tell me quickly, what happened?"
"Upon learning of Young Master Wang's exile, Madam Wang fell seriously ill and never recovered..."
