Chapter 56 goes a step further



Seeing the situation, Su Xuerou panicked and quickly explained, "I was just worried."

"Sister, why would you think of me like that?"

"If you don't have one, then move aside."

Ye Jintang said calmly. Su Xuerou bit her lower lip. Although she was unwilling to let Ye Jintang step forward, she had no right to stop her.

Madam Jiang also wanted to know what skills Ye Jintang had learned to be able to diagnose pulses, so she reached out her hand.

After taking her pulse, Ye Jintang's expression turned serious, and she gradually understood some things. She wondered why Old Madam Jiang was able to wake up from her coma without her intervention; it turned out that a Gu poison had been used.

This Gu is similar to Ye He's, which suggests that Su Xuerou has someone else guiding her. It's really interesting.

The old lady's nanny, who was following Madam Jiang, was worried because Ye Jintang had remained silent and serious since taking her pulse. Could it be that the old lady had some condition that had not been discovered?

"Madam, the old lady is now..."

"My body has become weaker during the time I was in a coma."

"I just don't know where Miss Su got the pills from."

Seeing that Ye Jintang didn't notice anything, Su Xuerou breathed a sigh of relief. When she first received the pills, the person said that she shouldn't let anyone know about them easily.

There were so many strange things about Ye Jintang that she was really afraid this person would see through her, but fortunately, everything that happened turned out to be a false alarm.

“Mother-in-law, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave.”

Ye Jintang was unwilling to stay any longer and turned to leave.

"Wait, I've already decided on the matter of Xue Rou entering the manor, and it will be tomorrow."

Madam Jiang said to Ye Jintang, “It is said to be a discussion, but it is already a done deal.”

I thought Ye Jintang would have some other reaction to these words, but she remained extremely calm.

"It's best for the mother-in-law to make the decision in this kind of thing."

After saying that, Ye Jintang did not linger any longer.

Hearing this, Su Xuerou breathed a sigh of relief but was also surprised. In her opinion, Ye Jintang's long absence from the Marquis's residence was nothing more than a show of defiance against the Marquis's residence.

Even now, I've heard that he had a long argument with the Marquis. How could he agree so easily at this point? Is there something strange about this?

Although Madam Jiang was equally puzzled by Ye Jintang's reaction, there was no need for her to stay since Ye Jintang had already agreed.

Ye Jintang had already returned to the courtyard when he saw Lühe standing there.

Green Lotus rushed forward upon seeing her return, "Miss, what about the Old Madam..."

"The person is fine now, but there are indeed many strange things about Su Xuerou."

Ye Jintang narrowed her eyes slightly. The current situation confirmed her one thing: the curse her father was afflicted with was closely related to Su Xuerou and the Minister's Mansion. If that was the case, things would become even more interesting.

"Miss, I've heard something else."

Green Lotus looked at Ye Jintang with some worry, and after a while she said, "Miss, I heard from those people that the Marquis will marry Su Xuerou tomorrow."

"So what?"

Ye Jintang said, looking at Lühe's expression, how could he not understand? "Lühe, do you think I still have feelings for Jiang Mubai?"

"Miss, please return to the manor..."

Green Lotus lowered her head, unable to continue speaking.

"I returned to the manor because these people enjoy everything, yet they are so dissatisfied and want to suppress me, not because of Jiang Mubai."

"This servant understands."

Hearing Ye Jintang say this, Lühe finally understood.

study.

"Is Ye Jintang aware of the matter concerning marrying a concubine?"

Jiang Mubai summoned the steward and asked him questions.

"I know."

Upon receiving the butler's reply, Jiang Mubai paused in his actions.

"So how did she react to this?"

"My lord, this is not a small matter to report. It is because the old lady only spoke to the madam. According to those who heard it at the time, the madam did not have any other reaction."

"Hmph, at least she knows what's good for her."

Jiang Mubai felt much more at ease after hearing the butler's words.

If Ye Jintang continues to make trouble over this matter, he will not let him off easily.

"Also, go and return the land deed for the rouge shop to Ye Jintang."

"My lord, should we inform the old lady about the land deed?"

"What, you're not even listening to me anymore?"

"No...no, I'll go right away."

Watching the butler leave, Jiang Mubai snorted coldly. For some reason, rumors had spread that he had swallowed Ye Jintang's dowry during this period.

This matter has already affected many things for him. Anyway, Ye Jintang is in the mansion, so even if he returns the land deed to her, there's nothing he can do.

Once she gets the land deed, she'll naturally be more restrained in her actions.

Following Jiang Mubai's orders, the butler quickly returned the land deed to Ye Jintang.

Green Lotus was even more shocked when she saw the land deed delivered by the housekeeper.

"Miss, the Marquis has actually returned the items."

It should be noted that ever since the old lady put Wang Bao in charge of Zuixianju under another name, and then took away the land deed on the grounds that the lady couldn't manage it all by herself, the situation is really different now.

"It seems Jiang Mubai still has some sense of shame."

Ye Jintang said that even if Jiang Mubai didn't give it to her, she would have other ways. It would eventually be hers, and no one could escape it.

However, one thing surprised her: since Minister Su personally brought Su Xuerou to the Marquis's residence this time, it must be because he had accepted Su Xuerou as his daughter.

At this time, why would they let Su Xuerou enter the manor so hastily? There are many problems involved.

However, since Su Xuerou is going to enter the manor, she will inevitably reveal her true colors in the future. She can deal with some things one by one and there is no need to rush.

The next day, Jiang Mubai welcomed Su Xuerou into the house with the respect due to a second wife. Because so many things had happened recently, he did not invite too many people.

Although Su Xuerou was dissatisfied, things had been delayed for too long, and she didn't want to continue, so she didn't say anything more.

After serving the tea, the old lady looked at Su Xuerou with great satisfaction.

"Xue Rou, from now on you will be my daughter-in-law."

"Madam..."

"Xue Rou, you should call your mother 'mother-in-law' instead."

As Jiang Mubai spoke, he didn't forget to look at Ye Jintang's reaction.

It's obvious that he did this on purpose.

Green Lotus, standing beside Ye Jintang, felt annoyed. She knew that apart from the main wife, neither the concubine nor the other wife could be called "mother-in-law"; they were all called "old lady." But the Marquis was clearly trying to embarrass the lady.

Ye Jintang, however, seemed indifferent. Once she had investigated what had happened, there was no need for her to stay in the Marquis's mansion any longer.

As for why Su Xuerou addresses the old lady, what does that have to do with her?

Su Xuerou was secretly delighted by this title. Did this mean that she was one step closer to replacing Ye Jintang's position? She glanced at Ye Jintang as she called out "Mother-in-law".

He was convinced that Ye Jintang's calmness at this moment was nothing but a pretense.
