To him, Ye Jintang was his wife, and since she lived in the Marquis's mansion, her belongings rightfully belonged to the Marquis's mansion and were all his.
At this time, Ye Jintang was able to help him through the difficulties, which can be considered as her contribution.
After Eunuch Wang left, Old Madam Jiang finally recovered from her shock.
She stared blankly at the boxes of gold and silver jewelry on the ground for a long time before asking, "Mu Bai, what's going on? It's one thing that Ye saved the Regent, but how did she get involved with the Empress Dowager?"
What worries Madam Jiang the most is that she will have difficulty controlling Ye Jintang in the future.
Jiang Mubai seemed to sense his mother's worry and said softly, "Mother, no matter why Ye Jintang saved the Empress Dowager, it will only benefit our Marquis's mansion and not harm it."
"Your attitude was a little better when Ye Jintang came back."
Hearing this, Old Madam Jiang was displeased again. She turned her face away and snorted coldly, "Are you saying that I deliberately made things difficult for Madam Ye?"
“Mother, that’s not what I meant. I’ll have someone deliver these jewels to your courtyard later.”
Upon hearing this, Madam Jiang felt much better. In the past, she would have agreed without hesitation, but given Ye Jintang's temperament, she was different now.
"Mu Bai, does the Ye family know about this..."
“Mother, there’s no need to worry. In the end, Ye Jintang is just a woman. I am her husband, and you are her mother-in-law. If she knew about these things, would she dare to turn against me?”
Jiang Mubai spoke with complete nonchalance, without any hesitation.
Madam Jiang nodded, a smile appearing on her face. Seeing that the servants in the mansion had already begun to move the load, she also set off to leave.
Seeing his mother leave, Jiang Mubai was about to have the remaining gold and silver sent to his treasury when he heard an anxious shout from not far away.
"Where is that sound coming from?"
Jiang Mubai frowned and asked the person next to him.
"My lord, this seems to be..."
Before the guards could report, the maidservant had already knelt before Jiang Mubai.
"My lord, please save our second wife."
"Second Madam?"
Jiang Mubai hesitated for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening.
"Xue Rou is staying safely in the manor, so how can we talk about saving her?"
"My lord, the second madam is not in the manor at the moment..." The maid was extremely anxious, her words hurried as she recalled what had happened inside the house.
"My lord, if you don't go to save the second madam soon, she will surely be tortured to death by her."
It wasn't until he heard this that Jiang Mubai realized something was amiss. He had just praised Ye Jintang to his mother, but unexpectedly, she had caused trouble again so soon.
"What are you waiting for? Take me there now!"
Thinking of the tricks Ye Jintang had used before, Jiang Mubai became even more worried. He was a marquis, and there were many female guards in his mansion. It would be easy for him to deal with Ye Jintang, or at least it would take some effort. But Xue Rou was different. How could a weak woman like her be a match for Ye Jintang?
Jiang Mubai thought bitterly that if Ye Jintang dared to do anything to hurt Xue Rou, even with these rewards, she wouldn't be able to escape.
Led by a maid, Jiang Mubai quickly arrived at the courtyard where Su Xuerou was. Seeing the mess on the ground, the unconscious guards, and the injured maids, Jiang Mubai was shocked again, realizing that a considerable battle had just taken place.
Thinking of this, Jiang Mubai quickly searched for Su Xuerou's figure among these people.
Suddenly, the maidservant beside Jiang Mubai exclaimed and pointed to a corner, saying, "My lord, look, isn't that the second madam?"
"The Second Madam is over there!"
Following the direction the maid pointed, Jiang Mubai strode forward and saw that Su Xuerou was unconscious and had several wounds on her body.
It is obvious that this was caused by being severely beaten.
Seeing that he couldn't wake Su Xuerou, Jiang Mubai had no choice but to pick her up and carry her in his arms. His immediate priority was to find a doctor for treatment, otherwise…
On the other side...
Where are we going?
Inside the carriage, Ye Jintang lifted the curtain. This wasn't the way to Huisheng Hall, and considering Ye Ling's identity, it certainly wasn't the Regent's Palace.
You'll know when the time comes.
Ye Ling didn't rush to explain to Ye Jintang, but left a brief sentence.
Ye Jintang was skeptical of Ye Ling's answer, but after spending so much time together, even if Ye Ling hadn't said it, she still trusted him to some extent.
"The poison my father suffered must be related to the Minister's mansion."
After thinking for a moment, Ye Jintang decided to tell Ye Ling about it as well.
Ye Ling nodded, not surprised when she heard Ye Jintang's words.
"Some time ago, the Minister's wife fell seriously ill. Minister Su invited a Taoist priest from somewhere, and since then, this Taoist priest has been staying at the Marquis's residence."
"Night Feather said."
"What are your plans to do about this?"
Seeing that Ye Jintang did not speak, Ye Ling looked at her and continued to ask, "It is not difficult to deal with the Minister's Mansion and a Taoist priest, but I'm afraid that Minister Su alone is not enough to directly attack General Ye."
Ye Jintang lowered her eyes; she naturally understood the implication behind Ye Ling's words.
There is an even greater entity behind the Ministry of Rites.
However, we still need to investigate who this person is.
“Your Highness, sometimes it is when you are pushed to the limit that you are more likely to reveal your weaknesses.”
Ye Jintang said meaningfully, explaining that she had previously been thinking of holding back for the time being and waiting for these people to make their next move.
If Ye He hadn't been awake, these things would indeed have been feasible, but now that Ye He is awake, coupled with the Emperor's attitude, she has no choice but to bring things forward.
"I understand."
Ye Ling smiled, already understanding Ye Jintang's plan.
"Whatever you want to do, just do it. No matter who's behind you, I'll be there for you."
Ye Ling's eyes reflected Ye Jintang's figure, and her words were extremely serious.
When Ye Jintang met his eyes, she felt a fleeting flutter in her heart, but quickly suppressed it.
"Your Highness, we have arrived at the residence."
The guard's voice came from inside.
On the other side...
Su Xuerou has already been carried back to the Marquis's residence by Jiang Mubai.
"How is the doctor? When will I, the Lady of the Marquis, regain consciousness?"
Seeing the doctor taking his pulse without speaking and occasionally letting out a soft sigh, Jiang Mubai couldn't help but become worried.
After a long pause, the doctor replied to Jiang Mubai, "My lord, based on my examination of the Second Madam's pulse, the injuries on her body should be caused by being whipped."
"As for why she is still unconscious, it is because of poisoning."
"Poisoning?"
Jiang Mubai was even more shocked when he heard this. How could someone who was perfectly healthy be poisoned?
Faced with Jiang Mubai's questioning, the doctor nodded again, "The Second Madam must have eaten something poisonous before me."
"Then how should it be diagnosed and treated?"
At this point, Jiang Mubai's voice became somewhat anxious, especially since Su Xuerou now also had the identity of being the daughter of Minister Su.
