Xie Tingzhou, recalling his suspicions, glanced at the sky and said, "Let's go. I'll take you back first. You still need to go to the General's Mansion to pick up your master later."
Ye Zhen smiled knowingly.
Knowing that Ye Wantang was involved with the masked man, they ransacked the General's Mansion again today.
She was worried that Ye Wantang might act desperately and harm her master, so she did have the idea of sending her master to the Marquis's mansion. Before she could even say it, Xie Tingzhou saw through her intention.
The two returned to the Marquis's residence. Xie Tingzhou changed into the attire of the Marquis's heir and waited for news at the residence.
As dawn broke, Xing Ze returned and said, "Master, everything that can be moved from the warehouse has been moved. The harvest was considerable; there are more than twenty boxes of gold alone."
There were also more than a dozen boxes of silver and countless treasures. I never expected Ye Wantang to be so wealthy.
But to have so much stuff protected by just a few useless people shows a lack of brains.
Xie Tingzhou instructed, "Hide the things well."
These all belong to Ye Zhen, and they will all have to be returned to Ye Zhen in the future.
"Don't worry, Master. The brothers have also left. My brother is waiting for Senior Yin."
Xie Tingzhou stood up. "Let's go to court."
He had to show up too.
Inside the General's Mansion.
When Yin Jiuniang had exhausted all her empty promises to Ye Wantang, she finally received a signal from Fuguang.
We can leave now!
He popped a blood sac into his mouth and shoved Ye Wantang away, asking, "What did you do to me?"
Ye Wantang was listening to Yin Jiuniang when she was suddenly pushed and fell to the ground.
The pain made her furious, and before she could even utter a curse, she saw Yin Jiuniang spit out a mouthful of blood at her.
Ye Wantang was sprayed in the face and screamed in surprise.
Yin Jiuniang clutched her chest and pointed at Ye Wantang, "You poisoned me?"
"I knew you were up in my room in the middle of the night, checking on me. Turns out you were trying to kill me!"
She staggered out, shouting, "Ye Wantang, I've gone out of my way to arrange your marriage because you're Jinghong's daughter, and you heartless, treacherous bastard... cough cough cough..."
He coughed up another mouthful of blood.
Ye Wantang was also startled. Things happened so fast that she didn't even understand what was going on.
But she knew she couldn't let Yin Jiuniang run out shouting like that.
"Someone, quick, help Senior Yin up."
(Off-screen message: Hold her, don't let her escape.)
Ye Wantang suddenly remembered the man's words, and she suspected that the man might have harmed Yin Jiuniang.
Apart from Tan Ge, there were only a few servants from Yin Jiu Niang's courtyard, and not a single guard appeared.
Ye Wantang called out a few more times, but still no one responded.
Tange realized something was wrong and rushed over to check. She was shocked to find the servants all fast asleep, sprawled out in various places.
By the time Yin Jiuniang reached the gate of the General's Mansion, the news that the storeroom had been emptied had also reached Ye Wantang's ears.
"What's the meaning?"
She asked the guard, who had been woken up by being splashed with cold water, "What do you mean the warehouse is gone?"
The guard wiped the cold sweat from his brow. "Last night, thieves broke in. My men were drugged, and they emptied the storeroom."
Ye Wantang's vision went black.
Her gold, her money, all gone?
Everything... has been emptied out?
Immediately remembering what Tan Ge had discovered last night, she ran frantically towards her own yard.
The maid on night duty was still asleep, and the place where she kept her silver notes and jewels was all gone.
The logs are gone too.
She then ran to the artificial hill and entered the secret passage, only to find that the passage, which was originally as bright as day, was now pitch black.
Even the luminous pearl on the wall is gone?
Ye Wantang felt like her sky had fallen. She roared, "Quickly, grab Yin Jiuniang for me!"
It must be Yin Jiuniang!
She said, "How could I possibly be so kind as to bring up marriage with her?"
It was nighttime, and most of the servants were asleep, so it was normal for the mansion to be quiet. She didn't think much of it.
But if she returns from Yin Jiuniang's place, she will definitely notice that something is wrong.
Yin Jiuniang must have deliberately tripped her up because she was afraid she would find out.
She gritted her teeth and personally went to the gate of the mansion to grab Yin Jiuniang.
Yin Jiuniang, who was so angry with her, was now weakly blocking the carriage of an official going to court.
"Help! Ye Wantang poisoned me and tried to kill me! Please, sir, go to the Marquis of Zhongyong's residence and call for my disciple to come and save me..."
Yin Jiuniang's investigation was spread by the old princess and became known to everyone, and the officials recognized her.
Having become quite close to the Marquis of Zhongyong, the official hurriedly helped Yin Jiuniang into the carriage, intending to take her to the Marquis's residence.
Yin Jiuniang thanked the official for his kindness, but said that she was afraid that if she died in the carriage, the official would be in trouble and would not be able to explain himself.
Upon hearing this, the official hurriedly sent his servant to the Marquis's residence to fetch someone.
The General's Mansion was located on Tianjie Street, a route that many officials had to take to enter the palace. Before long, the road was blocked by a large number of officials.
The messenger hadn't gone far when he encountered Marquis Zhongyong and Xie Tingzhou on their way to court.
Upon learning of Yin Jiuniang's accident, Marquis Zhongyong hurriedly sent Chen Qing to inform Ye Zhen. Xie Tingzhou helped Yin Jiuniang sit down and took her pulse, saying, "It's poisoning."
He then stuffed a pill into her mouth.
Marquis Zhongyong had heard the other officials explain the situation and had no doubts whatsoever; he was furious.
"His mind is so vicious, and he has no remorse whatsoever. Today, I, the Marquis, will teach this scoundrel a lesson on behalf of Jinghong."
"Never mind, she is Jinghong's daughter after all."
Yin Jiuniang propped herself up and tried to stop her, saying with difficulty, "She won't admit it."
Ye Wantang had just arrived when she overheard their conversation. She was furious and shouted from inside the door, "She's lying! I didn't poison her at all. On the contrary, she led people to loot the General's Mansion!"
Yin Jiuniang smiled bitterly, "I know that I consider myself an elder and that you dislike me for living in your mansion."
But that's because you are Jinghong's daughter. I couldn't bear to see you grow up wrong and wanted to teach you a thing or two. I never coveted your family's property. Why did you poison me and slander me like this?
