"Sister, please have some tea."
When Su Xuerou brought the tea to Ye Jintang, her tone was full of provocation.
Ye Jintang glanced at her, but his expression remained extremely calm. He reached out and took the tea that Su Xuerou handed him, but just as he was about to pass it over, Su Xuerou seemed to be pushed backward by someone.
"Xue Rou!"
Jiang Mubai swiftly pulled the person into his arms, then looked at Ye Jintang with displeasure.
"Madam, Xue Rou is now my second wife, so I hope you will stop some things in a certain way."
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Jiang's gaze toward Ye Jintang became even more hostile.
Ye Jintang found it amusing to look at Su Xuerou, who was being held in Jiang Mubai's arms.
"Are you saying that I pushed her when she lost her balance?"
Jiang Mubai snorted coldly, turned his face away, and refused to look at her again, the meaning of which was already very clear.
Ye Jintang placed the cup of tea on the table beside him. Su Xuerou panicked when she saw this and hurriedly explained to Jiang Mubai, "Brother Mubai, I lost my balance just now and it had nothing to do with my sister."
"Please don't blame my sister."
Jiang Mubai felt a pang of heartache seeing Su Xuerou like this.
Even when Xue Rou was bullied, he still defended Ye Jintang, but some people just didn't know what was good for them.
"Brother Mu Bai, could you please not get angry with my sister over such trivial matters?"
Faced with Su Xuerou's plea, Jiang Mubai's expression softened.
"Fine, I won't argue with her for your sake."
Su Xuerou nodded slightly, then said to Ye Jintang, "Sister, please have some tea."
Ye Jintang stood up, gave Su Xuerou a meaningful look, and then his gaze fell on the tea on the table.
"You really want me to drink this cup of tea?"
Ye Jintang said.
Su Xuerou froze, feeling inexplicably guilty when facing Ye Jintang.
Could that bitch have discovered something? But she's been very careful.
Su Xuerou steadied herself and looked at Ye Jintang with an extremely innocent gaze, "As the mistress of the house, it is only right that I serve you tea, sister."
"Is my sister still angry with me?"
Su Xuerou's eyes instantly welled up with tears.
Madam Jiang was already showing signs of impatience. "Mrs. Ye, today is the day Xue Rou is entering the family. Don't make things unpleasant."
"Madam, please drink Xue Rou's tea quickly."
Jiang Mubai frowned and urged Ye Jintang.
"Since you're in such a hurry, then drink this cup for me."
Ye Jintang picked up the tea and walked towards Jiang Mubai.
"Madam! Don't be ridiculous!"
Jiang Nubai's gaze was fixed on Ye Jintang, his eyes filled with a hatred that seemed to want to devour her.
Su Xuerou was also a little anxious. This tea was specially prepared for Ye Jintang. What would happen if Brother Mubai drank it?
Her tears immediately streamed down her face.
"Sister, even if you don't like me, you shouldn't humiliate me like this."
"Moreover, this tea..."
Before Su Xuerou could finish speaking, Ye Jintang interrupted her.
"There's something wrong with this tea, isn't there?"
Su Xuerou's pupils suddenly contracted, and she was so shocked that she forgot how to react for a moment.
"Ye Jintang!"
Jiang Mubai roared angrily at Ye Jintang.
"My lord, there's no need to be so agitated. If you feel I've wronged her, then drink this cup of tea."
"Fine, I'll drink!"
Jiang Mubai gave up and went to take the cup of tea from Ye Jintang's hand. He didn't believe that Xue Rou would do such a thing.
"No."
Su Xuerou panicked when she saw this, and stepped forward. With a loud thud, the teacup fell to the ground.
Ye Jintang sighed softly, "My lord, you can't blame me for this, can you?"
Jiang Mubai's expression was rather unpleasant, and his gaze towards Su Xuerou was also inquisitive. Could it be that Ye Jintang was right after all, and that something else had been added to the tea?
But if he were to change his tune now, he would be clearly contradicting himself.
At this moment, Madam Jiang spoke up, "Alright, it's just a matter of serving tea, and things have turned out like this. Let's leave it at that for today."
After saying that, Madam Jiang looked at Ye Jintang with displeasure and said, "Ye, I'm not trying to criticize you, but as the mistress of the house, you shouldn't be so petty about everything, and you should be more tolerant of others."
"Does my mother-in-law mean I'm deliberately causing trouble?"
Old Madam Jiang was clearly taken aback by Ye Jintang's words, and snorted coldly, "Mu Bai, you'd better keep an eye on your wife!"
Jiang Mubai's face turned ashen, and he was about to reprimand Ye Jintang when Ye Jintang said calmly, "My lord, I don't think you want to make things too ugly."
"Green Lotus, let's go."
"yes."
Green Lotus immediately responded and followed Ye Jintang away.
Su Xuerou was furious as she watched Ye Jintang leave, but she had to put on a pitiful and helpless act in front of Jiang Mubai.
"My lord, it's all my fault."
"It has nothing to do with you, it's just that Ye Jintang is jealous!"
If he didn't still need Ye Jintang's help, he would have kicked her out long ago. How could this vicious woman like Ye Jintang be so arrogant here?
"Xue Rou, remember this: from now on you will be my concubine. Although Ye Jintang is the mistress, you are no different from her in status."
"You need not fear her at all. If you have any difficulties, just tell me, and I will definitely stand up for you."
"Brother Mu Bai, you are so good to Xue Rou."
Su Xuerou nestled in Jiang Mubai's arms, looking at him with eyes full of adoration.
Jiang Mubai was clearly very pleased with Su Xuerou's words, and Ye Jintang's face reappeared in his mind.
If Ye Jintang had been as compliant as Xue Rou, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
"My lord..."
A guard's voice came from outside reporting.
When Su Xuerou saw someone coming, she kept a slight distance from Jiang Mubai.
"What's up?"
Jiang Mubai asked impatiently.
"My lord, Madam Gang has left the manor with her maid."
"Leave the residence?"
Jiang Mubai paused, clearly not expecting Ye Jintang to do this.
Did you ask her where she went?
"This... by the time I was about to ask, Madam had already gone far away, so I could only report to you, Lord Marquis, first."
"waste."
Jiang Mubai said angrily.
"Miss, Su Xuerou is clearly doing this on purpose. The Marquis and the Old Madam have gone too far!"
Green Lotus followed Ye Jintang, feeling even more sorry for her young mistress.
"These people know very well what's going on. Putting aside Jiang Mubai, even that old lady Jiang is just trying to use Su Xuerou to suppress me. 'Equal wife,' that sounds nice."
“Miss, now that Su Xuerou has entered the household, she will be the second mistress of the manor…”
"Green Lotus, when did you become so hesitant and indecisive?"
Ye Jintang asked Lü He in return.
"Regardless of Su Xuerou's identity, it's fine if she behaves herself, but if she dares to cause trouble, we'll just take action."
Since reasoning with those people from the Marquis's mansion is ineffective, the most direct method will suffice.
