The carriage stopped at the corner gate of the Marquis' Mansion. As soon as Ye Jintang got off the carriage, he saw Lu Zhu and her group waiting here early.

"Girl, you're finally back."

With red eyes, Luzhu stepped forward to help Ye Jintang get off the carriage.

"I'm back. I wonder if you guys were doing well while I was away."

"Everything is fine."

Nanny Liu, Nanny Zhang and others also came forward to pay their respects to Ye Jintang.

"Sixth Miss, go back to your room and take a rest. Remember to go to Fushou Garden to pay your respects to the old lady."

Nanny Sun specifically reminded Ye Jintang.

"Thank you for the reminder, Madam Sun."

Ye Jintang took his people back to his own yard.

As soon as they entered the room, Aunt Liu, Aunt Zhang, Lu Zhu, Lian Qiao, Zhou Cong and Zhou Wuwei bowed to Ye Jintang again.

"Seeing the girl return safely, this old servant is finally relieved."

Aunt Liu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, but she always had a smile on her face.

"Everyone, be happy. I didn't suffer much during my stay at the White Horse Temple. I also gained a lot. This trip was a win-win."

After everyone said a few heartfelt words, Aunt Liu continued, "A few days ago, I heard from the nanny in the front yard that the second young master went to the old lady to ask for the lotus fragrance. I wonder if the young lady knows about this."

"Well, He Xiang has been in Dongyu Town to take care of her pregnancy. It should be more than three months now, and she is more active now."

"It's good that you know this, young lady. I thought He Xiang did it behind your back."

"Not only He Xiang, but also Madam Lou will be on our side from now on."

Nanny Liu didn't expect that Ye Jintang would be able to bribe the people around the old lady just by going to the White Horse Temple. Although she didn't know what means she used, her ability was still extremely admirable.

"Miss, do you know why the old lady suddenly took you back?"

The situation was urgent so Nanny Liu didn't care too much and just asked directly about the doubts in her mind.

"I have roughly guessed it. I wonder if Aunt Liu has guessed it too."

"King Qin."

Ye Jintang nodded slightly.

Aunt Liu, whose eyes were red just now, started crying again in an instant.

"Now that you know, do you have a way to deal with it? This is a pit of fire. If you jump into it, your life will be ruined."

"Don't worry, Madam Liu. I already have a way to deal with it. You just need to follow me and marry into the Prince Qin's mansion safely."

Ye Jintang's words were like a thunderbolt, which struck everyone present so hard that no one spoke for a long time.

"Don't worry. The Qin Palace is not a dangerous place. I have my own way to survive. But I can't tell you in detail. You just need to trust me completely."

“I will never put myself in trouble.”

After a long while, Madam Liu said in disbelief, "The young lady has lived in the White Horse Temple for such a long time, I'm afraid she hasn't heard the rumors about the King of Qin in the capital."

"Not to mention the past, just five days ago, a concubine of the King of Qin died suddenly. I heard that she was naked when she died. What's more terrifying is that when she died, her whole body was covered with whip wounds, without even a piece of healthy flesh."

"There are rumors outside that the King of Qin was very angry because he didn't choose a suitable princess, so he took it out on his concubines."

"And this is not the first or second time. You must think twice. The King of Qin is no longer the god of war that was once rumored. His temperament has changed drastically since he was injured and disabled. Now he is a devil who eats people without leaving any bones. If you marry him, you will probably die."

Nanny Liu still wanted to persuade Ye Jintang, fearing that she would make a mistake and then make more mistakes.

"I know all this, Madam Liu, you don't need to say more. I have my own plan."

Ye Jintang said this with great conviction, and finally Nanny Liu believed it a little.

But she was still full of doubts in her heart. She really couldn't understand how Ye Jintang, a young girl who had just come of age, could survive well in the Prince Qin's Mansion.

After changing clothes, Ye Jintang took Liuli to pay his respects to Old Madam Ye.

Old Madam Ye changed her previous attitude of disliking Ye Jintang. When they met, she held her hand and asked about her well-being. If you didn't know, you would think that they had a very good relationship between grandma and granddaughter.

"Sixth girl, you have lost a lot of weight these days living in the White Horse Temple. I will ask Nanny Sun to send you some supplements later. Take good care of yourself."

"I'm sorry to make you worry, grandma. I don't feel anything when I live in the White Horse Temple. It's very peaceful there. But I can't go to the main hall every day to pray for grandma, which has always been a worry for me."

Ye Jintang kept talking about things that were irrelevant, and her words hit directly at Old Madam Ye's heart.

She only went to the main hall to pray twice, and the reputation that Old Madam Ye had accumulated over half a lifetime was ruined in an instant. If she went there every day, Old Madam Ye would probably have to die to atone for her sin.

"Alas, Sixth girl, you are old enough to get married, but your parents passed away early, and there is no one to help you with this matter. Grandmother is thinking of asking your eldest aunt to take you to more banquets in the capital and help you find a good family. Do you think it is feasible?"

Old Madam Ye, who was depressed to death, could only change the subject. She didn't want to mention praying at all.

"My granddaughter is too young to understand these things, so everything is decided by her grandmother."

Ye Jintang, who looked harmless, lowered his head shyly.

In the eyes of Old Madam Ye, Ye Jintang at this moment was just an obedient little white rabbit, and she could absolutely control his marriage at will.

But she didn't know that it was still unclear who was plotting against whom between the two of them.

When Ye Jintang came to the Marquis of Danyang's Mansion for the first time, Old Madam Ye made things difficult for her at every turn and didn't want her to have an easy life.

This time when I came back, it was a completely different scene.

Old Madam Ye not only sent Ye Jintang a lot of supplements, but also some clothing materials, jewelry and the like.

She said that Ye Jintang had done a great job in praying for her at the White Horse Temple, and that she deserved these things.

The old lady's attitude represents the attitude of the entire marquis's mansion.

The originally deserted courtyard suddenly became lively.

Those aunts whom she had only met a few times either went there in person or asked the housekeeper to come and give gifts to Ye Jintang.

At the end of the day, Ye Jintang was so overwhelmed with gifts.

"Gather all your things, girl. Here's the list."

Nanny Liu recorded all the things sent from various courtyards in a book and put them in the warehouse.

Ye Jintang, who had been laughing all day, rubbed his cheeks, leaned back on the bed, took the booklet handed to him by Aunt Liu, and read it carefully.

Except for the more expensive items sent by Old Madam Ye, the items sent by the other courtyards were all quite ordinary, worth only a few dozen taels of silver.

"It seems that the old lady has been hiding the fact that I married the King of Qin. If the other courtyards knew that I came back only to ward off disaster for the Marquis of Danyang's Mansion, they would definitely not waste this money."

"Girl, you know everything. Why do you need to get involved in the mess with the King of Qin? I know you are smart. If you are willing, you will definitely win a good future for yourself."

Ye Jintang smiled calmly.

"Marrying the King of Qin is my best choice. Madam Liu, I never fight a battle that I am not sure of, so you can rest assured."
