"Oh dear, this is too much of a waste, I can't accept it..."
Cai Yueya was polite in words, but her body language betrayed her true intentions, cooperating with Xie Tingzhou by dressing herself up as an old lady who would dazzle people in the sunlight.
Finally, baring his scattered teeth, he asked pleadingly, "Can I have one more thing?"
She pointed to her teeth, "I used to see the madam's mouth gleaming with gold. The first time she had someone knock out my teeth, I swore that when I got rich, I would get a few gold teeth too."
The kind with plum blossoms carved on it is a million times prettier than hers, hehe..."
She didn't get rich; she used other people's money. But she's much happier than that madam and Shu Liu Niang now.
She didn't really intend to keep the jewelry she bought today; it would all remain in the Marquis's residence in the future.
But she really wanted those gold teeth.
It would be so embarrassing for someone with no teeth to die and go to see Butcher Fu.
Having already bought the big gold chain and bracelet, Xie Tingzhou was quite generous, saying, "I'll get a few more gold teeth."
He happened to know an old silversmith who had come from the palace, so he took his men directly to the silversmith's house.
The gold tooth needs to be custom-made; I'll have to come back in two days to pick it up.
By the end of the day, tens of thousands had been spent, all of which were charged to the Marquis of Zhongyong.
Marquis Zhongyong felt a pang of regret, but seeing everyone so happy, he felt the money was well spent.
He hadn't felt this happy in a long time.
With dinner approaching, Marquis Zhongyong decided to be generous once again and took everyone back to the restaurant where they had lunch, where they ate dinner before returning home.
Han Zijin went to the Marquis's residence again in the afternoon, and upon hearing that Ye Zhen had not yet returned, he waited until dark.
Unable to go to Ye Zhen's courtyard, he went to Mo's courtyard to ask Xie Tingzhou to call for help.
Lovers wish they could be together all the time, and Xie Tingzhou felt that he could never get enough of spending time with Ye Zhen.
When the opportunity arose, he went to call Ye Zhen himself.
Han Zijin was deeply grateful to Xie Tingzhou, feeling that he was truly a loyal brother.
After Ye Zhen arrived, he informed Ye Zhen of the person he had chosen.
He was a young man from a fallen family. His wife had passed away, leaving him with only his son to depend on. Over the years, he had become entangled with many wealthy women and lived off their charity.
But as his son grew older, he didn't want his son to discover his means of making a living, and wanted to earn some money to take his son to live in another place.
This man is handsome and has a great figure. He is very good at charming women and has something on Han Zijin's hands.
Ye Zhen handed Han Zijin ten silver notes, "Two are his deposit, let him try it out, the rest are for you."
Han Zijin did not refuse, "Thank you."
That night, he was so focused on getting a divorce that he forgot about taking the money; he's not exactly wealthy right now.
Moreover, it's not enough for him to just find someone; Ye Zhen can't be the one to handle this matter, and he has to keep an eye on everything afterward.
only.
He hesitated, "Could we keep it from Chaolu?"
Han Zijin was also afraid that his children would have a bad impression of him if they found out what he had done.
Ye Zhen agreed and then cautioned, "Be careful not to give yourself away."
Han Zijin patted his chest and assured him that there would be no mistake.
He then went to see the Marquis of Loyalty and Valor.
He heard from Chaolu that Ali was studying under the old scholar and was benefiting greatly from it.
Han Zijin was already a successful candidate in the imperial examinations back then, and he hasn't completely neglected his studies over the years, but he's still afraid of disappointing his children, so he wants to find a teacher to be on the safe side.
Marquis Zhongyong saw that Xie Tingzhou had the idea of cultivating confidants, and also noticed that Han Zijin had been getting close to Xie Tingzhou recently, so he agreed.
Xie Tingzhou finally found an opportunity to care for Ye Zhen. The couple cuddled for a while, and when he learned that Ye Zhen hadn't slept well the night before, he let her go home to rest early and went to work at the Wude Division himself.
After returning home, Ye Zhen did not rest. He washed up, changed into his night clothes, and went to Ye Zhengqing's residence in the east of the city.
Ye Zhengqing is not here tonight; he must have gone back to the Ye family home.
The outer room and the two children were already asleep, so Ye Zhen sneaked into Ye Zhengqing's study.
She wanted to see if Ye Zhengqing had any of her mother's belongings.
Little did they know, at that moment, Ye Zhengqing was desperately trying to crawl through the dog hole in the General's Mansion.
He had lived in the general's mansion for many years and was used to being a big shot, so he wouldn't have paid attention to the dog hole.
It was only after Han Zijin spread the rumors about the Grand Princess that he learned there was a dog hole in the General's Mansion. He had searched for a long time before finally finding it.
After sneaking inside, relying on his familiarity with the General's Mansion, he made his way to Ye Wantang's courtyard.
When Ye Wantang's servants noticed him, they were about to cry out when he covered their mouths.
"Shh, I need to speak with Wan Tang. Don't alert Yin Jiu Niang."
He sighed inwardly, realizing that the General's Mansion had truly fallen into disrepair; its defenses were so poor that he was only discovered when he reached the outskirts of Wan Tang Courtyard.
If a few assassins came, killing people would be as easy as slicing melons. Wan Tang's head is in grave danger.
Thinking about this, he became even more determined in his mind.
Ye Wantang was quite surprised to see Ye Zhengqing. "Uncle, what brings you here in the middle of the night?"
“It is indeed urgent. Let them go out first.”
Seeing his solemn expression, Ye Wantang gave the maids a wink.
After the maids left, Ye Zhengqing walked up to her and said, "I know some of Jinghong's secrets..."
He told Ye Wantang the information he had extracted from his diary, "This is something Jinghong didn't want to make public, and I shouldn't have revealed it to you in the first place."
But you're already twenty, and your engagement has been broken off. It will be very difficult to remarry once your confinement ends.
I couldn't bear to watch your future be ruined. After many days of wandering, I've come up with this way out for you.
"Once you find him, with his father as your guarantor, the Da Yuan royal family will never dare to look down on you. At that time, you'll be more than just the Crown Princess; you could even become the Empress."
Ye Zhengqing's eyes were sincere, and his face showed a scheming expression for his daughter.
