This is really bizarre.
She even suspected that someone had deliberately led the woman to the Resurrection Hall.
“Green Lotus, go and ask Zhou Zheng about the situation at the time, especially whether anything else happened when the woman appeared.”
Ye Jintang gave instructions to Lühe.
"yes."
Upon receiving the order, Green Lotus did not hesitate for a moment.
She returned quickly after going out for a while. "Miss, I asked Zhou Zheng, and there was nothing unusual at the time."
"No?"
Ye Jintang hesitated, wondering if she was overthinking things.
It seemed that she still had to find an opportunity to go. It was almost evening when Ye Jintang prepared to leave Huishengtang. However, as soon as she arrived at the Marquis's residence, she saw Jiang Mubai standing there.
Upon seeing her return, Jiang Mubai stepped forward, clearly having been waiting for her for a long time.
Jiang Mubai stopped a few steps away from her, looking at her with a probing gaze, as if trying to get her to speak first through silence.
But Ye Jintang had no intention of paying attention to Jiang Mubai, and seeing his appearance, she simply left with Lühe.
Jiang Mubai was surprised that Ye Jintang would ignore him completely. Couldn't she tell that he must have something to do since he was waiting here?
"lady!"
Jiang Mubai couldn't help but speak first. He was puzzled by Ye Jintang's departure halfway through her explanation of the token. If it weren't for the fear of being too hasty and the fact that Ye Jintang possessed other skills, he would have been even more perplexed.
He probably wouldn't agree to let Ye Jintang leave the Marquis's mansion.
"What's up?"
Ye Jintang glanced at Jiang Mubai and said coldly.
Jiang Mubai was surprised by Ye Jintang's cold and ruthless tone, and his anger surged. However, considering his purpose at the moment, he managed to suppress his anger.
He glanced at Lühe standing next to Ye Jintang and ordered in a deep voice, "You leave first. I have other things to say to Madam."
Green Lotus did not respond to Jiang Mubai's order, but instead looked in the direction of Ye Jintang.
Jiang Mubai frowned. "What, are my orders no longer valid?"
"Madam, you really need to keep a close eye on the maids around you!"
Jiang Mubai's tone was filled with dissatisfaction as he spoke.
Ye Jintang remained unfazed. “My lord, Lühe is my person, and she naturally follows my orders. As for her, you need not worry about that.”
"If you have something to say, just say it. If not, I'll leave."
Ye Jintang looked impatient, as if saying another word to Jiang Mubai would be a waste.
These words really angered Jiang Mubai.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. "Madam, what exactly is this about the token clue you mentioned earlier?"
"Is the Marquis concerned about these things?"
Ye Jintang narrowed his eyes slightly and asked with a half-smile.
"Of course, these matters concerning my wife are related to whether my father-in-law can be exonerated. Only by knowing these things can I find more evidence."
Jiang Mubai seemed worried that Ye Jintang might notice something, so he said to her again, "After all, the rumors are now common knowledge. Without sufficient evidence, it's impossible to prove anything."
"My lord, I have a question before that."
"A question?" Jiang Mubai was taken aback, clearly not expecting Ye Jintang to ask such a question, and spoke almost subconsciously.
"Madam, please speak freely."
"Did Su Xuerou spend any time in the military camp? And was my father aware of her presence?"
Jiang Mubai's expression changed, and he inexplicably felt guilty when he met Ye Jintang's gaze.
He turned his face away, trying to change the subject.
"Madam, why are you asking this all of a sudden? Just because Xue Rou appeared, are you going to... follow me?"
Before Jiang Mubai could finish speaking, Ye Jintang interrupted him, saying, "My lord, you only need to answer my question."
"I don't think your idea of making Su Xuerou your secondary wife came about suddenly. But given my father's personality, do you really think he would agree?"
Ye Jintang curled her lips and said meaningfully to Jiang Mubai.
"My lord, what exactly happened here? Why did my father's temperament change so drastically? Do you really not understand anything about this?"
Jiang Mubai's expression darkened, especially when faced with Ye Jintang's questions, he felt a strange sense of panic.
It was as if something bad was about to happen after she said that.
Frustrated, Jiang Mubai's tone was no longer as gentle as before. He asked Ye Jintang with a cold face, "Ye Jintang, what exactly do you want to ask?"
"Do you think your father's death is related to me?"
"No?"
Ye Jintang countered with a question.
Jiang Mubai's heart skipped a beat. Whether it was anger or a sore spot being hit, his tone became much higher than before.
"Of course not, Ye Jintang. I know you are heartbroken over your father's death and can't accept Xue Rou's existence, but you can't say such baseless things."
"Do you know how much impact these words will have if they get out?"
Jiang Mubai questioned Ye Jintang sternly, hoping to make her feel indebted to him because she had misunderstood him.
"Impact..." Ye Jintang scoffed.
"Jiang Mubai, didn't you bring these things up?"
"I've always thought that only people with a guilty conscience would act like that."
“I do know something about the token, but I don’t trust you right now, unless…”
Just as Jiang Mubai was about to explode in anger, he heard Ye Jintang pause, then ask, "Unless what?"
"Prepare the forty thousand taels of silver and the divorce papers, my lord. I will then tell you about the token."
"If one of them is missing, then there's no point in discussing it."
After saying that, Ye Jintang turned and left without saying another word to Jiang Mubai.
Jiang Mubai was furious. In his current situation, where was he going to raise 40,000 taels of silver, let alone divorce Ye Jintang?
If these things were known to the people in the military camp, especially Jiang Yuan, who had suspected that Ye He was involved ever since his death, it would be a serious matter.
He'll get rid of this guy sooner or later!
However, given the current situation, he cannot act rashly. To make matters worse, it seems that His Highness the Regent also intends to take over the military camp.
If it were before, it wouldn't have been a big deal, but somehow Ye Jintang became the Regent's savior, which is very strange.
If he can't get that token and take control of the power, he'll have a hard time turning things around if anything goes wrong.
"Brother Mu Bai..."
Su Xuerou's voice came from behind him. Seeing the person walking towards him, Jiang Mubai frowned and asked, "Xuerou, why are you here?"
“Brother Mu Bai, I heard my sister’s voice just now and was worried that something had happened, so I came to check on her, but now…”
