Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

Ever since Ye Jintang returned to the Marquis' Mansion, he has always wanted to check out Old Madam Ye's treasury, but she was too cautious and the matter was delayed.

Seeing that her marriage with King Qin was about to be completed, Ye Jintang felt a little anxious.

Last night she thought about it and decided to target the poisonous insects raised by Liuli.

As long as Madam Ye was sick, she could find an excuse to take care of her, and then secretly make four warehouse keys.

It will be much easier to sneak into the vault later.

As soon as Ye Jintang entered the room, Liuli told her the good news that Old Madam Ye was bitten by a poisonous insect.

"In less than half a day, the old lady's face will be covered with red rashes. The court doctor will most likely say it is contagious. By then, other people will be scared and dare not enter the old lady's room."

"That's good. I can also gain a good reputation as a filial son."

As he spoke, Ye Jintang touched Xuetuan who was snoring beside him.

"Whether we can find the key to the vault depends on you. Xuetuan, you have eaten so many delicious foods of mine. Now it's time for you to repay me."

Sure enough, around noon, the news that Old Madam Ye was ill spread throughout the Marquis' Mansion.

Nanny Sun, who usually served Madam Ye, was frightened when she saw the red rash on Madam Ye's face.

Just now Jingwei only used a handkerchief to wipe the old lady's face, but now her fingers felt inexplicably uncomfortable. It was obvious that the poison was powerful.

For a time, the maids and servants serving in the old lady's room were in a panic, fearing that they would also be infected with the strange poison.

The old lady’s illness can be treated with the best medicine, but if a servant is infected, everyone knows what medicine can be used to treat it.

Everyone was so scared that how could they take good care of the old lady?

When Mrs. Gan received such news as soon as she returned home, she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

If something happens to the old lady at this critical moment, how can Ye Yanran marry into the Prince Qi's Mansion?

Just then, Ye Jintang came over and asked to take care of the old lady.

"Aunt, please let me go. Grandmother is so kind to me. She is sick, so I should go to her and take care of her."

"Sixth girl, you..."

Mrs. Gan looked at Ye Jintang with sincerity and didn't know what to say.

She was going to marry the King of Qin. What would happen if she got infected with a serious disease?

Mrs. Gan, who was extremely conflicted, took a look at the old lady's closed door, gritted her teeth and agreed to this matter.

In order to allow Ye Yanran to marry smoothly into Prince Qi's Mansion, what does it matter if Ye Jintang is sacrificed?

If she really contracted the disease, there were other legitimate daughters in the Danyang Marquisate who could marry the King of Qin.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Sixth Girl."

"It's not hard, this is what I should do."

Ye Jintang put on a veil, brought the freshly boiled medicine into the house and helped the old lady take it.

At this moment, Mrs. Ye was affected by the poison and had been in a coma. Ye Jintang casually poured the medicine into the flowerpot.

As long as she finds the key to the vault, Madam Ye will get better even if she doesn't take any medicine.

This was the first time that Ye Jintang looked carefully at Old Madam Ye's house. He had to say that all the items in her house were exquisite. Any small ornament picked up from the treasure shelf was an antique.

While no one dared to enter the house, Ye Jintang quickly searched every corner of the house, but only found a key to the safe.

This one must be used frequently, so it is placed in the treasure cabinet at the bedside.

"Xuetuan, it's your turn now."

Ye Jintang released Xuetuan from the space and let it search around the house.

Xuetuan had a very keen sense of smell. She walked around the room and finally squatted beside Old Madam Ye.

"You mean the other three vault keys are in the old lady's possession?"

Xuetuan meowed tenderly and licked his paws very calmly.

Ye Jintang took out a pair of gloves from the space and put them on himself, then began to search Old Madam Ye to see if she had all the three vault keys with her.

After searching for a long time, I couldn't even find the shadow of the key.

"Xuetuan, can you really do this? You can't just find the dried fish I hid, right?"

Ye Jintang was a little skeptical about Xuetuan's ability to find things.

"Meow......"

After licking his paws, Xuetuan saw that Ye Jintang had found nothing, and couldn't help but use his paws to start pulling at the blanket under Madam Ye.

"You mean here?"

Ye Jintang quickly lifted the quilt.

Old Madam Ye slept on a heated kang. When she lifted up the quilt and the insulating mat, the mud bricks underneath were exposed.

Near the Duobao Pavilion, you can vaguely see several very regular cracks.

"Is the old lady hiding it well enough?"

Who would have thought that there would be a secret compartment under the heated kang.

Ye Jintang sighed and reached out to press the cracked area.

There was indeed a secret here. As she pressed hard with her palm, a small box rose from the kang, containing exactly three warehouse keys.

Ye Jintang skillfully copied out all four keys and handed them out while Zhou Wuwei was eating, asking him to find a skilled craftsman to make copies of all of them.

That night, Ye Jintang did not leave Madam Ye's house. Instead, she quietly took four warehouse keys and went out to explore the way when it was late at night.

The small compartment was pitch black. Ye Jintang didn't dare to light a candle. He could only feel around with his hands, gently knocking on the surrounding walls and floor tiles, looking for the secret door leading to the vault.

After searching carefully for about half an hour, she finally found the secret door leading to the vault downstairs.

Just as she was about to go down, she suddenly heard the footsteps and voices of patrolling women at the door.

She was so scared that she didn't dare to breathe.

Ye Jintang patted his chest secretly, and waited until the patrolling women walked away before he hurried into the vault.

The secret passage was very short. After walking a few steps and turning a corner, we saw four locked safes.

One of the safes was often opened, and the lock on it was polished to a shine.

The other three safes had probably not been used for a long time, and the locks looked a bit old.

The frequently opened safe should contain some daily items. Ye Jintang did not rush to take a look, but went to see what was placed in the three less frequently used safes first.

Ye Jintang pushed the heavy door of the vault open with force, and what came into view was a vault full of neatly arranged boxes.

Ye Jintang was very familiar with these boxes of gold and silver.

She just walked forward and touched it, and the cash inside instantly appeared in her space.

Looking at the huge vault, Ye Jintang was stunned.

How much silver would that cost to carry so many boxes of cash?

When Ye Jintang thought that all this money would soon become hers, a smile instantly filled her face.

She opened two other safes, and as expected, one of them was filled with gold bars and gold ingots. Although the quantity was not as much as cash, the value was definitely not low.

Judging from the shape of the gold bars, they don't look like products from the Central Plains.

Ye Jintang guessed that this should be the spoils of war that the old marquis had collected when he was young.

No wonder so many people like to fight. The winner becomes rich almost overnight.

The third warehouse contained a variety of items, including precious silks, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and even some pearls and gems from overseas.

Almost every box you open has something different inside.

Looking at these dazzling objects, Ye Jintang's lips were about to curl up.

The wealth accumulated by the Danyang Marquis' Mansion for many years will soon belong to Ye Jintang alone. It is exciting to think about it.

He closed the doors of the three safes again, and Ye Jintang turned around and left without even opening the fourth safe.

In order to prevent any emergencies, Ye Jintang was not in a hurry to empty the treasury. She still followed the plan and planned to empty the Danyang Marquis Mansion on the day of her wedding.

She not only wanted to empty the treasury, but also the storeroom of the kitchen.

The Marquis' Mansion will definitely be very lively by then.

"Madam, I really should thank you very much. If you hadn't been so stingy over the years, how could I have so much wealth in the Marquis' Mansion?"

"I will take away all the family property. Don't be so angry that you die. You should just watch the Danyang Marquis Mansion slowly decline."

Ye Jintang didn't want to accompany the old lady so late at night, so she put the key away, took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve, and gently placed it under the old lady's nose.

In just a few breaths, Madam Ye, who had been in a coma, showed signs of waking up, and the rash on her face was also fading.

"Madame Sun, Madame Sun, the old lady is awake, the old lady is awake."

Nanny Sun, who had already fallen asleep, was awakened by Ye Jintang's scream.

She put on her clothes and hurried over. At this time, Old Madam Ye had already sat up with the help of Ye Jintang.

"Madam, you are finally awake."

When Nanny Sun saw that the rash on the old lady's face had subsided a lot, she immediately sent someone to call the court doctor over.

After a while, the old marquis came, Madam Gan came, lights were turned on in every house and courtyard, and the whole mansion became lively.

Only Ye Jintang yawned and went back to her own courtyard in a good mood to catch up on her sleep.

Today she had either been attending the Hundred Flowers Banquet outside or staying in Old Madam Ye's room, and she felt like she was about to fall apart from exhaustion.

Madam Ye recovered soon after being bitten by a poisonous insect, so it was just a false alarm.

However, she was very happy to hear that Ye Jintang came to take care of her, so she asked Nanny Sun to send a bunch of good things over.

Ye Jintang naturally didn't hesitate and accepted all of them.

"Master, this is the key to the vault."

Another day passed, and Zhou Wuwei quietly gave the four keys to Ye Jintang.

"Is it reliable?"

"The key maker is very skilled. Most people wouldn't even dare to make a key with this double-tooth key."

"Ah."

Ye Jintang was in a good mood and put the key away.

"The shop my cousin helped me to set up is almost ready. You should go over and show your face. You will need to run back and forth between the two sides in the future."

"Yes."

Ye Jintang took out a pen and paper, wrote down Fang Yu's contact information, and asked Zhou Wuwei to go find her and help her check how the shops were doing. She was afraid that she would not be able to leave the Marquis' Mansion recently.
