The return of the Princess of Qin to her parents' home had to be attended to with some basic ceremony, a four-horse carriage, a dozen maids and servants following, and six guards on horseback leading the way. Wherever they passed, there would be people stopping to watch.

"This is the carriage from the Prince of Qin's palace. I thought the Prince of Qin was so tyrannical that he would not accompany the Princess of Qin back for three days."

There were people who were curious and were standing on the roadside discussing the matter lively.

"Miss Ye Liu is the most beautiful woman in the capital. I heard that the King of Qin's leg disease has not been cured. He was able to walk to welcome the bride that day because he took some powerful medicine. Now that the effect of the medicine has worn off, the King of Qin's leg disease is worse than before."

"Where did you hear that?"

"My third uncle delivers firewood to the Qin Palace every day. He said so. The whole Qin Palace knows about it."

"Then the King of Qin really values ​​Miss Ye Liu."

Amidst all kinds of discussions, the carriage from the Prince of Qin's mansion stopped at the gate of the Marquis of Danyang's mansion.

Xiao Mo was carried down from the carriage by four guards, and then Ye Jintang slowly got off the carriage with the help of Luzhu and Lianqiao.

When she looked up, she saw the vermilion gate of Danyang Marquis’ Mansion.

She vaguely remembered the scene when she first came to the Marquis of Danyang's Mansion many years ago. If she hadn't been smart enough at that time, she might not have been able to go through the side door and could only enter the mansion through the back door.

Who would have thought that in just a few months, she would be able to enter the Danyang Marquis' Mansion again through the front gate openly.

At this moment Ye Jintang sighed again, it was really a good deal to buy the title of princess for five hundred thousand taels.

If she didn't have the title of princess, she would probably have to go through the side door.

Led by the old marquis, everyone in Danyang Marquis's Mansion was waiting at the gate of the mansion early.

When the old marquis saw Xiao Mo sitting in a wheelchair and being carried down, he knew that the rumors were true.

The old marquis led everyone forward to salute the two of them. Ye Jintang smiled happily and calmly accepted the salutes from everyone.

It's so comfortable to be a princess.

After only three days of not seeing each other, Mrs. Gan seemed to have a lot more white hair on her head. Ye Jintang thought that she must have been worrying about Ye Yanran's dowry these days.

Mrs. Gan, who was in a bad mood, still cheered up after seeing Ye Jintang and welcomed her into the Marquis' Mansion with a smile.

The group of female relatives went to the Hibiscus Hall in the backyard, chatting and laughing.

Although Old Madam Ye was the wife of a marquis, she still had to perform formalities in front of the Princess of Qin.

If she had been nice to Ye Jintang before, Ye Jintang would definitely not accept her gift now, after all, she was also old.

Unfortunately, she was not nice to Ye Jintang from the beginning to the end, and she even came up with many ways to make trouble for him.

Ye Jintang sat in the seat of honor and calmly accepted the greetings from the female guests, including Ye Yanran.

"Sixth sister has been different since she married into the Qin Palace. She even showed off her power in front of her grandmother."

Ye Yanran couldn't stand Ye Jintang's smug look the most. As soon as everyone stood up, she couldn't wait to find trouble with Ye Jintang.

"Oh, elder sister, you mean to ask me to stand up and let my grandmother sit here. I just learned the rules from the palace maid. The maid said that the emperor and his subjects should be treated first, and then the father and his son. Could it be that the maid taught me wrongly?"

After Ye Jintang said this, even Old Madam Ye did not dare to agree.

"The rules taught by the palace maids are naturally correct."

Old Madam Ye glared at Ye Yanran fiercely, signaling her not to talk nonsense.

"Grandma, why do you look so sick after not seeing you for a few days? You've been sick again recently."

Ye Jintang took the initiative to care about Old Madam Ye.

In fact, she knew without asking why Old Madam Ye looked so sick.

The fortune she had saved for her entire life was gone, and now she only had the title of a marquis' wife but did not have much money.

If she were a normal person, she would not be able to accept such a big change and would fall ill.

"Well, when you get older, you're bound to have headaches and fevers."

"Grandma, you can ask the other sisters in the mansion to go to the White Horse Temple to pray for blessings. Maybe grandma will get better soon."

When saying this, Ye Jintang had a frank look on his face, but he was very happy in his heart. Given the current situation of the Marquis' Mansion, they should not go to the White Horse Temple to pray, but should go to the Temple of the God of Wealth.

When the White Horse Temple was mentioned again in front of so many people, Old Madam Ye felt more disgusted than eating a fly.

She swayed, stood up and apologized, saying that she was not feeling well and it was not easy for her to come out to see Ye Jintang, so she wanted to leave early and go back to her room to rest.

"Grandma, you must take good care of yourself. My eldest sister will be getting married and moving to the Prince Qi's mansion in a few days, and Grandma will be busy then."

Ye Jintang is definitely an expert at finishing off the enemy. Now the entire Danyang Marquis’ Mansion is worrying about Ye Yanran’s dowry.

Just now, Old Madam Ye just felt a tightness in her chest, and now she wished she could faint.

After Old Madam Ye left, Ye Yanran, who had just gotten a bad result, finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"My Lady Princess, I heard that the King of Qin's leg disease has recurred. I wonder how serious his condition is."

Ye Yanran's words sounded as if she cared about Ye Jintang, but her gossipy look betrayed her.

"Ah, Your Highness is the same. He obviously has a leg disease, but he still insists on taking medicine to marry me. He said he would walk to marry me no matter what. It really makes things difficult for Your Highness."

It sounded as if Ye Jintang was talking about Xiao Mo's leg disease, but in fact he was just feeding Ye Yanran a mouthful of dog food.

She just wanted to tell everyone present how much the King of Qin valued her.

They wanted to laugh at her, but that was just a dream.

"I heard that the queen dismissed all the concubines in the prince's backyard, and the prince didn't say anything. The prince was really good to the queen."

Ye Yanran was not willing to be outdone and continued to talk about Ye Jintang.

All the ladies and girls present agreed with Ye Jintang's approach and some even envied her for being so brave.

But on the surface they had to abide by the three obediences and four virtues and dared not support her openly.

"If the princess doesn't like the concubines in the prince's harem, she can just ignore them or put a few of her own people around the prince."

"Your Highness has dismissed all the concubines directly, so that outsiders will think that the daughters raised in our Danyang Marquisate are all jealous."

Madam Gan looked like she was only thinking about Ye Jintang, but in her heart she wished that Ye Jintang and those concubines would fight to the death.

"Is that so? But the prince said that as long as I don't like them, I can do whatever I want with them. If I had known that I would be known as jealous, I would have kept those concubines in the palace as maids."

As he spoke, Ye Jintang looked at Ye Yanran with a smile.

"I heard that the King of Qi also has many concubines in his backyard. Sister, you must get along peacefully with them when you marry him. Don't follow my example and send them all away."

Ye Yanran was so angry that she wanted to dismiss all the concubines, but Xiao Yi and Imperial Noble Consort Dehui would definitely not agree.

"Sister, you are already showing your pregnancy. When will the King of Qi pay the betrothal gifts to marry you? If you wait any longer, your belly will be too big to look good in wedding clothes."

Ye Jintang's eyes fell on Ye Yanran's belly. Although she was wearing loose clothes, her slightly bulging belly could still be vaguely seen.

"Don't worry about this matter, Princess Consort. His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi and Imperial Noble Consort Dehui will make their own arrangements."

Ye Yanran almost gritted her teeth when she said this. Doesn't she want to get married right away? How can she get married if she has no dowry?
