Chapter 131: Outstanding Acting
Ye Yanran only brought a few maids with her, but Zhou Cong and Zhou Wuwei were in Ye Jintang's yard. They directly blocked a few maids, and Ye Jintang immediately left with his maid.
By the time Ye Yanran and her group escaped, Ye Jintang had already walked away.
"Grandma, you have to make the decision for me."
Ye Jintang cried all the way into Old Madam Ye's yard. She cried quite loudly. In a short while, half of the people in the mansion knew that Ye Jintang went to find the old lady crying.
"What's wrong? Today is a happy day, why are you crying like this?"
Old Madam Ye was already in a bad mood, and she became even more impatient when she saw Ye Jintang coming over crying.
"Grandma, my eldest sister just told me that the King of Qin is a demon who kills people without blinking an eye. She also said that after I marry him, I will be tortured to death in a short time. Grandma, I am scared. I don't want to marry the King of Qin."
Ye Jintang cried while recounting all of Ye Yanran's crimes. She cried so hard that her speech was intermittent and she was twitching. It was obvious that she was really scared.
Old Madam Ye, who was sitting on the Luohan bed, heard Ye Jintang say this, her eyelids twitched wildly and her head was buzzing.
How free is Ye Yanran that she chose today to cause trouble for Ye Jintang? Does she feel that there haven't been enough things going on in the Danyang Marquis Mansion recently?
"Sixth girl, don't listen to your eldest sister. She is jealous that you will marry before her. Grandmother will definitely scold her when she gets back."
Old Madam Ye suppressed her temper and comforted Ye Jintang.
Seeing that she was about to marry into the Prince of Qin's Mansion, nothing could go wrong at this critical juncture. The reputation of the Danyang Marquis Mansion was already in jeopardy. If there was any trouble, the door plaque of their mansion would be smashed down.
"But grandma, there is no smoke without fire. I am really scared. I am an orphan and helpless. I am very scared. If I marry into the Qin Palace and suffer torture, I would rather die."
After Ye Jintang cried for a while, Old Madam Ye felt a splitting headache.
"Madame Sun, go tell the eldest girl to stay in her own courtyard and not come out until she gets married."
"Yes, old slave, go right away."
Old Madam Ye comforted Ye Jintang for a while before she left with red eyes.
The whole Marquis' Mansion knew about today's incident. Ye Yanran's originally good reputation collapsed in an instant. No one expected that she would be so restless with a big belly and even bully Ye Jintang, which made her suffer.
This matter was initially spread only within the Marquis' Mansion, and no one knew why it spread outside, and finally even reached the ears of Imperial Noble Consort Dehui.
"What an idiot! It's just a small matter, why not let the maids and servants do it? Why do you have to show off in person? You really don't have any brains at all."
Imperial Noble Consort Dehui disliked Ye Yanran to death. If she didn't feel that Marquis Danyang would be useful, she would have found a way to cancel this marriage.
"Your Highness, don't be angry about this little thing. His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi is getting married soon. It would be a happy event if the Princess could give His Royal Highness a little grandson."
Noble Consort Dehui nodded slightly, but her face was full of disdain.
"I hope Ye Yanran can bear a little grandson for me. If not, I will let the fourth son marry a concubine immediately."
Ye Yanran never expected that she would get into such a big trouble just by going to Ye Jintang to show off.
She really lost all her dignity.
Ye Yanran was so angry that she smashed almost everything in her room.
"Girl, you are still pregnant, you must not get angry."
When Su Shu saw Ye Yanran reaching out to move a large vase, she quickly stepped forward to stop her.
"So what if I'm pregnant? I'm still being bullied. My grandmother said one word and I'm confined to the yard and can't go anywhere."
Ye Yanran's small white teeth were almost bitten to pieces.
On weekdays, it seemed that Old Madam Ye loved her the most, but if something happened, she, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, would still be punished mercilessly.
"When you get married and become the Princess of Qi, I will see who in the Marquis's Mansion dares to show you a bad face. Now you just need to be patient for a while, and everything will be fine."
Su Shu stepped forward and carefully comforted Ye Yanran, fearing that she might have a miscarriage and something bad might happen to her.
"Yes, when I become the Princess of Qi, the entire Danyang Marquisate will depend on me for their livelihood. As long as I am not happy, no one will have a good life."
Ye Yanran imagined the good days of becoming a princess or queen in the future, which made her feel happier.
"Just wait and see. Ye Jintang's marriage to the King of Qin is just a temporary solution. Her hard days have just begun."
Ye Yanran was not the only one who had this idea. Almost everyone in the capital felt that it was almost a life-or-death situation for the weak Ye Jintang to marry the tyrannical King Qin.
Ye Jintang of the Jade Garden turned the Danyang Marquis Mansion upside down, but she acted as if nothing had happened and just looked at the account book brought back by Zhou Wuwei.
Wen Ziqiu had already bought all the shops she wanted, and the craftsmen of the silver shop had also arrived in the capital to start work.
"Master, these are some of the patterns of the first batch of jewelry. Manager Fang asked me to show them to you."
Zhou Wuwei handed a thick stack of drawing paper to Ye Jintang.
"Fang is a careful person indeed."
In fact, Fang Yu didn't need to show her the jewelry designs. As long as the jewelry store he ran made money, Ye Jintang would not care about anything else.
"The Wen family is indeed a prestigious family in Xingnan. The craftsmen under them are all first-rate. Such intricate and beautiful jewelry is unique in the entire capital."
After looking at a few drawings, Ye Jintang couldn't help but praise them.
"Manager Fang also asked me to ask the master if I could give him the recipes for making Jade Cream, Rouge, Lip Balm, and True Tiger Pills so that he can arrange for people to make them in large quantities."
"Manager Fang said that although small batches can attract many people to buy, the money earned is still too little. He wants to make more, keep some in the capital, and sell some in other cities."
"You'll have to ask Liuli about this."
As he spoke, Ye Jintang looked at Liuli and asked if there were any of these recipes that were not passed on to others.
"Miss, I'll write down the recipe in a moment. The reason why our jade cream and rouge are selling so well is because of the good herbs we use, not because of the unique recipe."
"Okay, write down the detailed production process, and I'll give you one thousand taels of silver for each recipe. I can't let you work in vain."
When Liuli heard that Ye Jintang was going to give her money, she quickly waved her hand.
"Miss, please save my life. Let alone a few prescriptions, even if you give me all the secret recipes passed down from our Lin family, I will be willing to do so."
"You fool, just take the money I give you. When you get married, you will have many opportunities to use the money."
Liuli smiled bitterly in her heart. She would never get married in her life, so what was the use of having money?
"Master, this is from Master Wen for the young lady."
Zhou Wuwei handed a wooden box to Ye Jintang.
"what is this?"
Ye Jintang opened the box with curiosity, and saw a set of glittering head ornaments inside.
The entire set of gold headpiece is inlaid with tourmaline, ruby and sapphire to form various flowers, and the top flower and hairpin are made with kingfisher feather craftsmanship.
“This is beautiful too!”
Ye Jintang picked up a gold bracelet from the box and saw that the entire bracelet was hollowed out and inlaid with pearls and gems. Even though Ye Jintang was knowledgeable, he couldn't take his eyes off such a beautiful bracelet.
"Isn't this the headpiece my cousin gave me to wear on my wedding day?"
"Master Wen didn't say anything, he just asked me to give it to the master."
