Chapter 32: One person comes, one gift is received
Ye Chutang had excellent hearing and heard Jinzhi's whispers.
She turned around quickly, broke in through the window, and stopped Jinzhi from hitting the wall in time.
Jinzhi was determined to die, and was a little dazed after being rescued.
After a while, she came back to her senses and looked at Ye Chutang with a sullen face.
"Young lady, you shouldn't have saved this slave."
She had wanted to die a long time ago, and she had been lingering on until now just to fulfill the young lady's last wish.
Now that the mission was accomplished, it was time for her to go down and accompany the young lady.
Ye Chutang held Jinzhi's arms tightly and looked at her seriously.
"Aunt Jin, it's easy to die, but my mother would definitely want you to live and take care of me for her."
Jinzhi didn't dare to look into Ye Chutang's eyes, her voice choked with sobs.
"This slave is dirty and unworthy."
Ye Chutang held Jinzhi in his arms and stroked her back gently.
"Aunt Jin, it's not your fault. You have done a good job."
"Survive, I need you."
I need you!
When Jinzhi heard this, her body trembled and her eyes were filled with tears.
"As long as the young lady needs me, I will do anything for her!"
Seeing that Jinzhi had hope of survival, Ye Chutang let her go.
“Okay, don’t do stupid things anymore, or even if you go underground, my mother won’t see you.”
"I will obey the young lady."
After saying that, Jinzhi looked at Ye Chutang's soiled clothes with a guilty look on her face.
"Young lady, go back and clean up again."
"It's okay, Aunt Jin, go to bed early. I'm leaving now."
***
The next day, at the hour of Mao.
The sky was turning pale, and the entire Shangshu Mansion seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist.
The servants have already started working, cleaning the Shangshu Mansion spotlessly.
The kitchen also began to prepare food for the banquet and was busy.
Chuntao arrived at Ningchuyuan on time.
When he heard that Ye Chutang hadn't gotten up yet, a look of displeasure appeared on his face.
"It's getting late. If you don't get up now, you might not have enough time to get dressed."
Shan Er smiled and said, "Young Miss is naturally beautiful. Even without makeup, she can still outshine everyone in the room."
Chuntao couldn't refute this.
She thought of her lady's instructions, pulled the sheet aside, and stuffed a medicine bag into her hand.
"Look at my instructions and find an opportunity to give it to the young lady."
Shan'er had long guessed that Kong Ru would not give up easily.
But I didn't expect that she would ignore the life and death of the young master and still choose to attack the eldest lady.
"You know that the young lady is a doctor and knows poison, but you still want me to do it. Aren't you pushing me into the fire pit?"
"Madam said that if you succeed, the young master will take you as his concubine and mistress."
Shan'er didn't care about Kong Ru's promise at all, but she wouldn't show it.
"Got it. I'll try my best."
Chuntao looked at the naive Shan'er mockingly and pushed her.
"Go and wake up the young lady."
Shan'er didn't listen to Chuntao.
She prepared all the clothes Ye Chutang needed before going to call her.
"Miss, it's past the Mao hour, it's time to get up."
After Ye Chutang came back from Qingsongyuan last night, he took a bath and rested at Chou time.
I will feel very sleepy and don't want to move at all.
But she knew she couldn't stay in bed today and had to appear in front of everyone in the best condition.
"Dan'er, go get a basin of cold water."
After washing his face with cold water, Ye Chutang was completely awake.
Shan'er placed the medicine bag in front of Ye Chutang.
"Miss, this is what Chuntao gave me. I will give it to you after I see her expression."
Ye Chutang opened the paper bag and smelled the white powder.
"It's a love potion."
After saying that, she packed up the medicine and returned it to Shan'er.
"You follow orders, I have my own ideas."
"Yes, Miss."
Shan'er stuffed the medicine bag into his sleeve pocket and called Chuntao to come in and help Ye Chutang dress up.
An hour later.
The sunlight slanted in through the window, casting a golden glow on the ground.
Ye Chutang looked at himself in the mirror and was a little unrecognizable.
She has dark eyebrows, phoenix eyes, a delicate nose, red lips, delicate facial features, and is dignified yet charming. She is so beautiful that nothing can describe it.
She picked up the eyebrow pencil and lifted the downward brow peak upwards, making her look more sharp.
The bright red skirt is layered and looks very fairy-like.
The crabapple branches embroidered with gold and silver threads are lifelike and emit bursts of floral fragrance.
It can be seen that a lot of effort was put into making this outfit.
Dan'er was staring at it in a daze.
"The young lady is truly a fairy among humans, no one can compare to her."
Chun Tao also echoed sincerely: "After today, there will be countless young men who want to marry the young lady."
Ye Chutang responded calmly and asked, "Is it time for breakfast?"
"Miss, for the sake of your body, it is best not to eat breakfast."
"Chun Tao, do you want me to faint from hunger at the homecoming banquet?"
"I dare not. I will go to the kitchen to get breakfast for the young lady."
After breakfast, Ye Chutang went to the front yard.
On the way.
She heard the servants talking about how the court doctor had escaped last night.
This result was within Ye Chutang's expectations.
Kong Ru was the culprit behind Ye Anjun's illness. If she didn't let the court doctor go, she would also be implicated.
When Ye Chutang thought of what Kong Ru had done to the original owner's mother, a chill appeared in her beautiful eyes.
If she had known what happened in the past earlier, she would have definitely taken control of the court doctor.
But it doesn't matter.
The court physician will not leave the capital before getting enough benefits, and she still has a chance to tear off Kong Ru's hypocritical mask!
forecourt.
Except Ye Anjun, all the Ye family members were there.
As soon as Ye Chutang appeared, everyone's eyes lit up and were filled with amazement.
Ye Jingchuan looked at Ye Chutang, who was three times more beautiful than Tang Wanning back then, and felt that she had a better chance of becoming the mother of the country than Ye Anling.
If it weren't for Eunuch De, he would definitely give her to the Second Prince!
What a pity.
Ye Anling looked at the radiant Ye Chutang and sneered.
Ye Chutang, the more dazzling you are today, the more likely Eunuch De will not let you go!
Ye Anzhi looked at Ye Chutang who was dressed up, his eyes could no longer hold anything else, and his desire to get her became stronger and stronger.
Ye Chutang took in everyone's expressions. He asked, "Dad, when are the guests coming? What do you need me to do?"
"Around 9:00 pm, the front yard will host a banquet for male guests, and the back garden will host a banquet for female guests. You will follow Madam to receive the officials and their families in the back garden first. Before the banquet begins, your father will introduce you to the male guests."
"Yes, father."
It was already past noon, and Kong Ru took Ye Chutang and Ye Anling to the back garden to familiarize themselves with the layout of the environment, so as to avoid any omissions during the banquet.
The two concubines and the concubine Ye Siyin were just there to watch and found a corner in the back garden to stay.
At such large banquets, the officials' wives and children who came were usually the principal wives and direct descendants, and it was not the turn of concubines and illegitimate daughters to entertain the guests.
As soon as the Si hour arrived, guests arrived.
The back garden and the front yard were close, and Ye Chutang heard Butler Chen shouting, "Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Lord Cao is here!"
After hearing this, Ye Chutang felt very happy.
She would accept a gift from every person who came.
happy.
Kong Ru said, "Chu'er, follow me to the entrance of the back garden to welcome the guests. Ling'er, you entertain them in the garden."
Ye Anling should have gone to greet the guests as well, but the wound on the back of her head had not healed yet, and her hair was wrapped in gauze, so she should not do any work.
Ye Chutang acted like a lady from a noble family, walked gracefully to the entrance of the back garden.
Mrs. Cao came with her daughter-in-law and was amazed to see Ye Chutang, who was as beautiful as the rumors said.
Kong Ru introduced each other.
Since Lord Cao was Ye Jingchuan's subordinate, Ye Chutang only needed to nod in greeting.
"Meet Madam Cao."
Mrs. Cao thought Ye Chutang was a country woman who didn't know social etiquette, but she didn't expect her to be so dignified.
"Miss Ye is polite."
Next, officials came in more and more frequent.
Ye Chutang was so exhausted from saying hello, but he always maintained a smile and a graceful demeanor that made it impossible to find fault with him.
It also made all her family members look at her with admiration.
Because she was standing at the entrance to the back garden, the male guests in the front yard could also catch a glimpse of her color.
Many men were attracted by her beauty and looked at her directly or secretly.
At this time, Butler Chen shouted: "His Royal Highness Prince Chen has arrived!"
