Chapter 55: Grabbing Half of Kong Ru's Dowry
Ye Chutang closed the lid of the jewelry box and placed ten taels of silver and a contract of sale on the tray.
She said to Shan'er, "Give this silver and the contract of sale to Chunlan's family."
Chunlan had already died, but she didn't dare to die, for fear of angering Ye Anzhi and bringing trouble to her family.
For her, hanging herself to bring disgrace to Ye Anzhi was both revenge and relief.
Shan'er looked at the silver and the indenture, and her breathing became heavy.
"Miss, no one will come to collect Chunlan's body. From the day she was sold, she has no home."
Ye Chutang pondered for a moment and said, "After dinner, go to the coffin shop and find someone to pay them to give Chunlan a proper burial."
"Yes, Miss."
Shan'er carried the tray into the main room.
Ye Chutang went to the kitchen to cook and Jinzhi helped.
Considering the yard full of wounded people, the dinner she prepared was particularly light.
When the last soup was stewing, Ye Jingchuan arrived carrying 32 loads of Kong Ru's dowry.
"Chu'er, Daddy is here to bring you your dowry."
Ye Chutang looked at the dowry that filled the yard and said to the servant who brought the dowry, "Put it in the woodshed."
Ye Jingchuan was worried that the dowry would be lost again, so he suggested, "Chu'er, your yard doesn't have a warehouse, can Dad send you a few guards?"
"I'm not married yet, what's the matter with having a stranger in the yard?"
"They don't go into the yard. They just stand guard outside the yard."
"Okay, send some tough guys over here. They'll be useful to me when I'm practicing martial arts."
Ye Jingchuan: “…”
I don't want to send her to the nursing home anymore, what should I do?
But he changed his mind and thought that it would not be a loss if the guard could test the depth of Ye Chutang's martial arts.
"Okay, Dad will send six guards to you later."
After that, he got down to business.
"Chu'er, Zhi'er has been ruined, and Dad has brought half of the wife's dowry. What about the antidote?"
Ye Chutang took out Kong Ru's dowry list from the space and shook it.
"Once I have verified everything, I will send the antidote to you."
The dowry sent this time was real, and Ye Jingchuan was not afraid of being investigated.
"Okay, what about Jun'er's illness?"
"Send him to Ningchu Courtyard, and bring his personal maid along as well."
Ye Jingchuan agreed immediately, "Okay."
Ye Chutang estimated that the soup was ready, and ordered him to leave, "Dad, take care."
"Chu'er, Dad wants to stay for dinner."
Ye Jingchuan smelled the tempting aroma of the food, and his appetite was aroused.
"Sorry, I didn't do your part."
“…”
Ye Jingchuan turned and left with an unhappy look on his face.
Ye Chutang suddenly remembered something and called him, "Dad, wait a minute."
Ye Jingchuan thought she had changed her mind and wanted to keep him for dinner, so he turned around happily.
"Chu'er, what's the matter?"
"I want the hundred acres of fertile land and the farm in the countryside. Please have someone send the land deeds and property deeds over to me later."
She wanted to arrange for all the maids who did not want to stay with Ye Anzhi to live on the farm.
Ye Jingchuan looked at Ye Chutang suspiciously, "Chu'er, do you want to go back to the countryside?"
"No, I just feel that after living there for fifteen years, the land and property should belong to me."
If it were before, Ye Jingchuan would definitely not be willing to give it.
But after being blackmailed by Ye Chutang time and time again, he no longer wanted to bother about such "small matters".
Because the result of worrying too much will definitely be losing the big picture!
"Okay, once Dad gets the antidote, I'll give you the land and house deeds."
"make a deal."
Not long after Ye Jingchuan left, six guards were guarding outside the yard.
When Ye Chutang, Shan'er and Jinzhi were halfway through their meal.
Ye Anjun's personal maid Le'er came with the luggage on her back and holding him in her arms.
Le'er put Ye Anjun down and bowed respectfully to Ye Chutang.
"This servant Le'er greets the young lady."
Ye Chutang nodded and pointed to the side room of the main house.
"You guys will live in the side room for now. I'll only take care of Jun'er's food. Your job is to take care of him. Don't have any other bad ideas."
Le'er watched Ye Anjun grow up. She knows how miserable his life has been over the years and she really feels sorry for him.
"Don't worry, Miss. Le'er only hopes for the best for the young master."
After that, she said to Ye Anjun: "Young Master, salute the young lady."
Jun'er looked very weak. He knelt down tremblingly and bowed to Ye Chutang.
"Jun'er meets elder sister. Sorry to bother you."
Ye Chutang looked at Ye Anjun, who was very polite, and helped him up.
"Dan'er, go get some more bowls and chopsticks."
Le Er hurriedly said, "Miss, the young master had already eaten before he came."
"Have some soup, it's okay."
The soup is cooked with spiritual spring water and is good for the body.
"Yes, I will go and clean up the room first."
Ye Anjun didn't know why, but he liked his elder sister very much and took the initiative to sit next to her.
Ye Chutang touched Jun'er's belly and served him half a bowl of soup.
"Drink it all."
Jun Er wasn't actually hungry at all, but he didn't want to reject his elder sister's kindness, so he nodded, "Okay."
The soup has a light flavor, rich broth, a little sour, and is very appetizing.
He took a sip and his body, which had been cold all year round, felt warm.
It’s warmer than when his father is holding him.
Ye Chutang saw that Jun'er finished the soup quickly and wanted more.
She said: "Your body is too weak, you can't drink too much. If you like to drink, I will make more for you tomorrow."
Jun Er nodded obediently, "I like it, thank you, elder sister."
After dinner, Shan'er went out to the coffin shop, and Ye Chutang gave Jun'er acupuncture.
She wrote a prescription and handed it to Le'er, "Take it once a day after dinner. Let someone get the medicine."
Although there are some medicinal herbs grown using spiritual springs in her space, they cannot be taken out directly.
And she didn't want to let the Ye family get away with it.
Once Le'er gets the medicine back, she will just need to replace the ingredients.
Le'er didn't dare to delay, so he took the prescription and went to Liuliyuan.
After Ye Chutang finished giving Jun'er acupuncture, he went to the woodshed to take inventory of Kong Ru's dowry.
After making sure that there was no problem, she walked out of the yard and handed the antidote for the Broken Heart Powder to the security guard.
"Give it to my father."
After that, she went back to her room to take a shower.
After bathing, Le'er and Dan'er came back.
Chunlan's funeral has been arranged. The undertaker has taken her body away and the funeral will be held tomorrow.
Le Er also brought back the medicine, but Ye Chutang took the medicine bag away in the name of inspection.
After Ye Chutang replaced the herbs, he returned the medicine bag to Le'er.
"It's too late now. Let's make the medicine tomorrow."
"As you command."
When Ye Chutang returned to her boudoir, Hongxiu woke up from her coma and looked unwell.
She checked Hongxiu's tongue and found it was not inflamed, so she fed her a bowl of soup.
Hongxiu was too weak and fell asleep right after drinking.
Jinzhi squatted in horse stance for a long time this afternoon and soon fell asleep.
Ye Chutang not only had to go to Old Madam Ye's yard to purchase goods tonight, but also had to go out to stock up on supplies.
She did not wait until midnight, but immediately disguised herself as a servant of a wealthy family and escaped from the Shangshu Mansion underground.
Tonight’s stockpiling target: medicinal herbs!
