"Go and fetch Ye Shi for me right now. I want to ask her what her intentions are!"
Old Madam Jiang angrily rebuked Ye Jintang for daring to steal the land deed without her consent.
There's no need for this person to stay in the Marquis's mansion.
Seeing the angry face of Old Madam Jiang, Su Xuerou felt secretly delighted.
The maid who went to look for Ye Jintang quickly returned. "Madam, the lady is not in the courtyard, and her maid, Lühe, is also nowhere to be seen. She must have left the manor."
"Leaving the manor?" Old Madam Jiang frowned. It was just dawn, what was Ye Jintang doing leaving the manor? Just as she was about to ask further, she heard the steward's voice coming from outside.
"Madam, did you want to see me?"
The housekeeper was summoned to Old Madam Jiang and asked her questions.
Madam Jiang gave a soft "hmm," and then said, "Butler, I remember I entrusted you with the land deed for the rouge shop back then."
The people in that shop are saying that Ye Jintang sold the shop using the land deed.
"But you handed the land deed over to the Ye family?"
Upon hearing Madam Jiang's words, the butler was startled and almost instinctively blurted out, "Madam sold the rouge shop? This... how is that possible?"
Seeing the butler's expression, Su Xuerou guessed that something was amiss and tentatively asked, "Butler, could it be that you also know about the land deed?"
"Or did your sister secretly take the land deed from you?"
“Madam did not secretly take the land deed; I returned it to you.”
Under the watchful eyes of these people, the butler still told the truth, and Madam Jiang frowned even more deeply upon hearing this.
"Nonsense! Steward, you've been in this household for so many years, how can you make such a decision on your own!" Old Madam Jiang was clearly angered by the steward's words.
Upon seeing this, the steward immediately panicked and hurriedly explained, "Please forgive me, Madam. It was not my idea to make this decision on my own, but the Marquis ordered that the land deed be returned to you."
"Madam, you were still unconscious at the time, and I was just following orders."
"What? This matter is also related to Mu Bai?"
Madam Jiang was increasingly incredulous, and she noticed that the butler's expression did not seem to be fake.
Jiang Mubai had just arrived to pay his respects to his mother when he heard angry shouts coming from inside the courtyard.
He entered the room and said to Madam Jiang, who was sitting in the main seat, "Mother, what is it that makes you so angry so early in the morning?"
After saying that, Jiang Mubai looked around the room. Besides Su Xuerou, the butler was also there.
Judging from the butler's frightened expression, something must have happened.
Old Madam Jiang remained silent, clearly still in shock, while Su Xuerou spoke first.
"My lord, the steward just said that the land deed for the rouge shop was given to my sister by you?"
Jiang Mubai glanced at the butler, not understanding why he was asking these questions, until his mother looked over and he replied, "It is true."
"What's wrong? Is there a problem here?"
"How could there be no problem? Mu Bai, are you aware that the Ye family sold the rouge shop?"
When Madam Jiang heard that Jiang Mubai had agreed to the matter, she was both angry and annoyed.
"You should discuss this with me."
Originally, she wanted to control Ye Jintang's dowry to make him obedient.
Who knew that after this coma, Zuixianju was shut down, Wang Bao was exiled, and now even the rouge shop was sold. Just thinking about it made Old Madam Jiang feel suffocated.
"Is that so?"
Jiang Mubai was taken aback, clearly not expecting Ye Jintang to make this decision. He had returned the land deed to Ye Jintang not only to avoid giving others cause for criticism, but also because Ye Jintang was in the Marquis's mansion and he thought she wouldn't do anything outrageous. However, he did not expect her to be so bold.
No wonder my mother was so angry.
"Mother, don't be angry. Your son will go find Ye Jintang now and..."
We need to get to the bottom of this.
As Jiang Mubai spoke, he was about to head towards Ye Jintang's courtyard, but he hadn't taken more than a few steps when he saw Su Xuerou chasing after him.
"Brother Mu Bai, my sister is not in the courtyard."
"Not here?"
Jiang Mubai hesitated. He remembered that Ye Jintang had left the manor yesterday. Could it be that she hadn't returned all night?
Jiang Mubai then summoned the guards at the gate of the mansion. After receiving the same answer as he had guessed, his face darkened.
"This Ye Jintang is simply audacious!"
Su Xuerou looked at Jiang Mubai with an incredulous expression.
He said, "My lord, my sister wouldn't be..."
Jiang Mubai glanced at Su Xuerou, then thought of his mother inside the room and said, "Xuerou, you go in and keep your mother company. I will handle this matter."
Based on his understanding, if Ye Jintang wasn't at the Marquis's residence at this time, she must be at Huisheng Hall; she had nowhere else to go.
And in the Rebirth Hall.
As soon as the door opened, a woman rushed in, pleading, "Doctor, do any of you know medicine? Please, please save my young mistress!"
Seeing this, Zhou Zheng quickly stepped forward and saw that the woman was kneeling on the ground, pleading with them.
"Young lady, please stand up and tell me what happened. What's wrong?"
"I am a maid in the Prince of Pingnan's mansion. My young mistress was frightened for some reason and suddenly went into premature labor. Now the midwife says that we urgently need someone who knows medicine to come and help."
"Could you send a doctor with me to take a look?"
"this……"
Zhou Zheng looked at the two doctors. One of them had gone to see patients today, leaving only one to oversee the treatment at Huishengtang.
If it were just a common illness, it would be fine to go for treatment. However, when a woman is giving birth and the situation is so urgent, men already face many inconveniences.
Moreover, they didn't have much experience with production.
“Young lady, it’s not that we’re unwilling to go, but the reality of this delivery is…”
The doctor sighed and said to the woman.
The woman was plunged into despair. "How could this be? I've already visited many medical clinics in the capital, but I've always gotten the same result. I thought things might be different."
Big White, lying on the ground, heard someone crying and looked in the direction of the sound.
Woof woof woof!
"Why is there something black hovering above this person's head? No, I have to tell that woman about this right away."
"ah……"
The woman was already feeling disappointed when a large dog suddenly rushed out from inside, which startled her so much that she lost her footing and fell to the ground.
"Be careful, young lady!"
Green Lotus had just returned from outside when she saw someone about to fall and quickly went to help them up.
"Th...thank you."
The woman expressed her gratitude to Green Lotus.
Green Lotus released the other person and said with a smile, "No need to be so polite."
She glanced around at the people around her and noticed that Zhou Zheng and another doctor looked worried, which struck her as odd.
"Manager Zhou, has something happened?"
Zhou Zheng nodded and then briefly told Lü He what had just happened.
