"Yes...it's Madam who's back."
Jiang Mubai's question startled the maid who had reported it.
"That vicious woman actually dares to come back!"
Jiang Mubai clenched his fists, his face turning gloomy. He had been holding back his anger for the past few days, and now Ye Jintang had delivered herself right to his doorstep.
"Brother Mu Bai..."
Hearing the commotion, Su Xuerou came out. Jiang Mubai's expression softened slightly as he said to her, "Xuerou, you wait here. I will go and seek justice from Ye Jintang on your behalf."
Before Su Xuerou could speak, Jiang Mubai strode away.
As Su Xuerou watched Jiang Mubai leave, her gentle and considerate demeanor vanished, replaced by a sinister expression.
On the other side...
Green Lotus followed Ye Jintang back to the courtyard and began tidying up the house. After several days of not staying there, a layer of dust had covered all parts of the house.
As Ye Jintang sat in the chair, his consciousness entered the space while he was reading.
After the incident of Dr. Wang being taken into custody, Ye Jintang was basically certain that the other party was after that bead. It was just a pity that the other party did not know that the bead had already recognized its owner, so even if the other party obtained it, it would not be of any use.
On the contrary... Ye Jintang suddenly realized that he had overlooked one step.
Now that the other side is in the shadows while we are in the open, the Huishengtang incident has already served as a warning. Rather than passively defending ourselves, we should take the initiative to strike.
They want the beads, so let's grant their wish and use this to completely expose what's behind this.
As Ye Jintang pondered this, he heard a scolding voice coming from outside.
"Ye Jintang, come out here!"
Hearing this commotion, a cold glint appeared in Ye Jintang's eyes. After waiting for so long, they've finally arrived.
Green Lotus, who was sweeping the yard, saw Jiang Mubai rushing in regardless of the consequences and immediately stepped in front of him.
"My lord, my wife..."
"Get out of my way!"
Before Lühe could finish speaking, Jiang Mubai pushed her away.
Green Lotus was pushed so hard that she lost her balance and stumbled. Seeing Jiang Mubai's actions, she was about to continue forward when Ye Jintang came out from inside.
"Miss."
Green Lotus quickly walked to Ye Jintang's side.
Ye Jintang glanced at Lühe, then at the aggressive Jiang Mubai, but showed no panic on her face. Instead, she asked Lühe, "Did he push you just now?"
Not only Green Lotus, but even Jiang Mubai was taken aback by Ye Jintang's sudden question.
When this woman saw me arrive, and considering what had happened recently, her first reaction shouldn't have been to explain herself to me, but what was she doing now?
He actually asked a maid if he had pushed her.
For a moment, Jiang Mubai was both amused and annoyed by Ye Jintang's actions.
Green Lotus was about to nod when Jiang Mubai spoke first, "So what if it was me who pushed him? Ye Jintang, you now..."
It's best to understand the situation first.
"The situation?" Ye Jintang remained calm, her eyes filled with coldness and disdain.
She approached Jiang Mubai step by step, and then said, word by word, "Jiang Mubai, I think you are the one who needs to assess the situation now."
Jiang Mubai was taken aback. When he met Ye Jintang's eyes again, he felt a chill for no apparent reason.
Ye Jintang was just a woman, yet he sensed an aura of authority emanating from her.
It seemed that even she, as a husband and a marquis, had to bow down before Ye Jintang.
While Jiang Mubai was still in a daze, Ye Jintang reached out her hand.
Jiang Mubai was clearly surprised by Ye Jintang's sudden action. He took several steps back until he realized what was happening, and then looked at her with an incredulous expression.
"Ye Jintang, you actually pushed me for the sake of a maid?"
Jiang Mubai raised his voice, almost shouting at Ye Jintang.
"So what if it is, Jiang Mubai? You just remember this: the people around me are not people that anyone can mess with."
"Not only you remember, but also that Su Xuerou."
Su Xuerou originally came to see Ye Jintang being scolded by Jiang Mubai. Seeing this bitch being rejected made her feel incredibly smug.
But before they could even see it for a short while, they heard Ye Jintang say these words.
I really don't know where Ye Jintang gets her confidence from. In the end, she's not even as good as her illegitimate daughter.
He's just a stray dog, yet he thinks he's something special.
Upon hearing Ye Jintang's words, Su Xuerou couldn't hold back any longer and stepped forward, saying to Ye Jintang in a accusing tone, "Sister, how could you speak to the Marquis like that?"
"Oh, She De has appeared."
Ye Jintang's eyes were icy cold. He noticed that Su Xuerou was only pale, unlike her previous weakness, and it seemed that the poison had been relieved.
But what she fed her couldn't provide any relief at all.
As Ye Jintang approached, Su Xuerou had a bad feeling. Jiang Mubai shielded her behind him and angrily rebuked her, "You poisonous woman, what are you trying to do?"
"You've injured Xue Rou so badly, and Huishengtang has been shut down because of you. What more do you want now?!"
Jiang Mubai's words were full of accusations, and his gaze on Ye Jintang was so intense that he wished he could slowly torture her to death.
"Not good. I've said before that anyone who messes with my people should pay the price."
After Ye Jintang said this, Su Xuerou, who was originally being protected by Jiang Mubai, let out a scream.
When they looked again, they saw Su Xuerou clutching her stomach, squatting on the ground in pain.
"Brother Mu Bai, I feel so bad."
Su Xuerou's face contorted with pain. Jiang Mubai was about to ask her something when he saw Ye Jintang watching the scene with a calm expression.
With just one glance, he understood what had happened.
"Ye Jintang, what exactly did you do to Xue Rou?"
Ye Jintang scoffed at this.
"What you're saying, Lord Marquis? I'm standing right here, and Su Xuerou is being protected by you. What can I do? As for her now, she's probably suffering retribution."
Although Jiang Mubai was puzzled, he thought of what Ye Jintang had done before, and it was clear that she did not believe that these things had nothing to do with her.
"I don't want to say the same thing a second time!"
Jiang Mubai was clearly on the verge of exploding with anger. He admitted that Ye Jintang was quite capable, and even he himself was sometimes unaware of when this woman had made her move.
But since this is the Marquis's residence, he refused to believe that with so many people in the Marquis's residence, they couldn't control a woman!
Even if she can't deal with Ye Jintang, this woman cares so much about the people around her, so if she takes down that maid named Lühe, she won't be able to escape either.
Just thinking this made Jiang Mubai's expression turn cold.
"Miss……"
Green Lotus was filled with worry. She was well aware of Ye Jintang's abilities, but with so many people in the Marquis's mansion and only one young lady, if they were to truly clash, even if she was unharmed, she would inevitably suffer a loss in the end.
Besides, the young lady was just doing it for me...
Just thinking about it made Green Lotus burst into tears of gratitude.
"Jiang Mubai, it seems you really don't know what Su Xuerou did."
