"Don't mention that poisonous woman!"
Jiang Mubai grew increasingly angry at Ye Jintang's abrupt departure.
This woman doesn't take me seriously at all.
Su Xuerou felt a secret joy in her heart. She realized that Ye Jintang was different from what the maid had described, which was why she paid extra attention.
She was even more afraid that her Mu Bai brother would change because of Ye Jintang's actions, but now it seems that she was overthinking it.
Jiang Mubai still disliked Ye Jintang as much as ever.
This was exactly what she wanted.
Su Xuerou glanced around to make sure no one else was nearby before asking Jiang Mubai, "Brother Mubai, if my sister really knows something, then General Ye is her father."
“If she continues to investigate, wouldn’t that be very disadvantageous for us in the future? I’m worried…”
Su Xuerou's words reminded Jiang Mubai, who frowned and revealed murderous intent in his eyes.
"If this wicked woman cannot be used by me, then I will have no choice but to eliminate her as a future threat."
Jiang Mubai said angrily, but he didn't want to use this method unless absolutely necessary. He was still thinking of using Ye Jintang's existence to reassure Ye He's former subordinates and extract a bigger secret from them.
Ye Jintang had already returned to the courtyard, and Lühe stood beside her, feeling shocked as she recalled what had just happened.
"Miss, do you really know anything about the general's token?"
When Green Lotus asked him, Ye Jintang did not hide anything.
"I know, I met him once before that."
Green Lotus immediately showed surprise and excitement, "Miss, that..."
She wanted to say something, but realizing that this was the Marquis's residence and the Marquis was behaving this way, she had to lower her voice and ask, "Miss, is everything alright?"
"certainly."
Ye Jintang said.
Green Lotus nodded in relief, but then a question arose in her mind.
"Miss, I have another question I'd like to ask. Could you please answer it for me?"
"Just say it."
Although she doesn't like to talk much, it's unlikely that Lühe will change her personality anytime soon.
She's willing to answer questions unless she has something else to say.
After receiving Ye Jintang's reply, Lühe then spoke up, "Miss, with your current abilities, why do you still tolerate the Marquis and that Second Madam?"
The Marquis always glared at his young mistress whenever they met, which was truly infuriating.
"It's not about tolerating it, but rather that it's unnecessary."
Ye Jintang said that with her current power, she could even overturn the Marquis's mansion without any problem, but what would happen after that?
Jiang Mubai is now a marquis, while Ye He's suspicions have not been cleared. Taking action directly would not only be ineffective but would also make things worse.
As for Jiang Mubai's words, they did not cause her any harm at all.
"Green Lotus, although I don't intend to take action now, these people will soon suffer the consequences of their actions."
Ye Jintang said to Lühe.
Green Lotus nodded as she listened. "Miss, I believe you."
Since the Marquis returned, the young lady has been heartbroken by his actions and the General's affair, and her temperament has changed as a result.
However, she believed that with Miss around, everything would be alright.
The next morning, Ye Jintang was preparing to go to Huishengtang as usual, but he was greeted by an uninvited guest outside the courtyard.
Su Xuerou.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Ye Jintang narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of amusement in them.
"You dare to come again?"
Su Xuerou stiffened, especially after hearing Ye Jintang's words, her expression became extremely unnatural.
"I'm not here to cause trouble today, I just wanted to ask if you have any shortages here."
Su Xuerou walked into the courtyard and looked around.
Hearing this, Ye Jintang immediately understood Su Xuerou's intention: "So, Jiang Mubai has already handed over the management of the household to you?"
"Now that you have Huisheng Hall to manage, I suppose you don't have time to manage the affairs of the household. This is me sharing the burden with you."
"Please don't be upset."
Su Xuerou paid attention to Ye Jintang's emotions as she spoke, but unfortunately, Ye Jintang did not show any emotional fluctuation after hearing that she had taken away the power of the housekeeper.
It seemed that these things were irrelevant to her.
"Why should I be unhappy, Su Xuerou? You planned it all along when you unintentionally saved Jiang Mubai in the military camp, didn't you?"
"What?" Su Xuerou looked surprised, not expecting Ye Jintang to ask such a question.
She looked away, clearly not wanting to continue the conversation.
"Ye Jintang, I am now the second wife of this mansion, and in terms of power, I am no different from you. If you dare to do anything, Brother Mu Bai will not let you off the hook."
Seeing Ye Jintang still approaching her, Su Xuerou sensed danger and instinctively retreated.
Ye Jintang found this scene laughable. They were clearly terrified, yet they still dared to appear in front of her every now and then. It was truly absurd.
When Ye Jintang was still a few steps away from Su Xuerou, he stopped and said to her, "Do you really think I care?"
Su Xuerou's expression changed, once again shocked by what Ye Jintang said.
She blurted out almost instinctively, "You're saying you don't care?"
No, Su Xuerou quickly realized that if Ye Jintang really didn't care why he stayed in the Marquis's mansion, then...
This must be an excuse she came up with to exonerate herself.
"Su Xuerou, was my father controlled by a curse?"
"What kind of Gu... Ye Jintang, what exactly are you trying to say?"
Su Xuerou instinctively wanted to leave, but as she turned around, Lühe had already stepped in front of her and blocked her way.
"Second Madam, you haven't answered my young lady yet."
talk. "
"Su Xuerou, didn't you want me to leave the Marquis's mansion? If you tell me what really happened in the military camp and what happened to my father, I will grant your wish."
Seeing that she had nowhere to retreat, Su Xuerou hesitated noticeably when she heard Ye Jintang's words.
Seeing that Ye Jintang showed no intention of making a move, she fell into deep thought. After a moment, she looked up at Ye Jintang and said, "How can I believe what you say?"
"This is the best choice for you right now, Su Xuerou. Don't forget that even a concubine is still a secondary wife. Moreover, as the daughter of Minister Su, why don't you dare let anyone in the Minister's mansion know? Don't you understand at all?"
Because of Ye Jintang's words, Su Xuerou's face turned even paler.
She clenched her fists, her gaze towards Ye Jintang filled with resentment and bitterness.
Now that Ye He is dead and Ye Jintang is no longer liked by these people, she has long lost her support.
Logically, Yip Kam Tong should have been walking on thin ice at a time like this, but instead he was so arrogant.
Unfortunately, her life as a second wife was not as smooth as she had imagined.
Just then, footsteps were heard.
"lady……"
The butler had already stepped outside into the courtyard and was somewhat surprised when he saw this scene.
