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

Following Ye Jintang's gaze, Liuli spotted Madam Yao in the crowd.

"Your Highness, I know this person. She is the legitimate daughter of Imperial Physician Yao. Her husband died a few years ago, and she never returned to her parents' home. She has been living alone outside."

"And Doctor Yao is my father's senior brother."

"Well, you go and do your work first."

When Ye Jintang heard that Madam Yao came from a high family, he understood why she didn't want to treat those ladies.

The daughter of an imperial physician has good medical skills, but that doesn't mean she will become a doctor.

As for Mrs. Zhou in the book, it should be that Madam Yao married someone later, and that person's surname should be Zhou.

There were so many people here today, so Ye Jintang didn't ask Liuli any more questions and let her leave first.

However, after Liuli left, Ye Jintang couldn't help but think more about whether the case of Imperial Doctor Lin and the embezzlement of military pay was related to this Madam Yao.

She never believed in coincidences in the world. Doctor Lin's family died in vain, but the daughter of Doctor Lin's brother became the Princess of Qi's woman.

She always felt that there was some connection between them.

After talking for a while, everyone went to the garden to appreciate the flowers.

Ye Jintang also spent a lot of money to host the Linjiang Banquet.

The palace brought fresh water from the river into the garden, built a pond of more than two acres, and even built a waterwheel next to the pond, planted a large area of ​​lotus, and the scenery was quite nice.

Ye Jintang temporarily put Ye Yanran aside and looked for an opportunity to call Madam Su to talk to him.

Lord Qiu and King Qin had almost no contact, and when Madam Su was invited, she was actually a little confused.

Later, when she heard that Ye Jintang had invited more than 60 ladies, she felt relieved to come. Otherwise, she might have claimed to be sick and would not have dared to come easily.

But since Ye Jintang specifically called her over to talk, Mrs. Su immediately became alert. She thought about all the possibilities in her mind, but still couldn't figure out anything.

"Mrs. Su, please sit down."

Ye Jintang sat in the pavilion beside the pond and invited Mrs. Su with a smile to sit down, drink tea and chat with her.

"Mrs. Su, you are older than me. I would like to ask you something."

"Your Majesty, you are too polite. If you have any questions, just ask."

"It's like this. I have a distant cousin. She's really good-looking and even educated. She's good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The only bad thing about her is that she comes from a merchant family."

"She always wanted her offspring to pursue a career in government, so she married a poor scholar."

"After getting married, she used all her dowry to support her family, hoping that her husband could study with peace of mind and get into high school as soon as possible."

"When her husband came to the capital to take the imperial examination, he took away all the money in the family. My cousin could only eat steamed bread with mixed vegetables every day."

"Later, her husband passed the imperial examination and she thought she had finally made it. But what she got was a divorce letter. Her husband had been spotted by a high-ranking official in the capital, who wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law."

"Mrs. Su, what do you think my cousin should do when she encounters this kind of thing? She has given so much, but in the end she ends up with nothing."

Ye Jintang looked at Madam Su very seriously, and was quite curious about what she would say.

"That scholar has lost his conscience. Your distant cousin can go to the government to sue him and ask him to return the dowry he spent."

"Is this the only way to go?"

Mrs. Su was a little confused by Ye Jintang's question.

"Your Majesty, do you mean that this distant cousin doesn't want to divorce? Why bother? The scholar has already written the divorce letter, so he must have thought of a way out for himself. For your Majesty's distant cousin, getting back her dowry is the most important thing."

"A woman needs money to live a good life."

Hearing what Mrs. Su said, Ye Jintang could vaguely guess that Mrs. Su was a person with a hot temper.

"What if Madam Su happens to be the high-ranking official who is looking for a son-in-law?"

Ye Jintang asked bluntly, and Mrs. Su was obviously stunned.

She was not a fool. Just recently, something like this happened in her family, and she immediately thought of Mr. Zhang, the man her family had a crush on.

Their family did not publicize this matter, and not many people knew about it.

At first, she was afraid that Zhang Xian might have some childhood sweetheart at home. She never thought that Zhang Xian would be so bold as to lie to them. He didn't have any childhood sweetheart, but already had a wife at home.

Mrs. Su was so ruthless that she almost tore the handkerchief in her hand under the table.

This Zhang Xian is going too far. His daughter was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, a noble lady. They can find a husband for her in any family in the capital.

If the couple had not been afraid that their daughter would suffer after marrying into a wealthy family, they would not have fallen in love with Zhang Xian, a newly-minted Jinshi.

"If I were the one looking for a son-in-law, I would immediately postpone such a marriage. That scholar divorced his wife right after passing the imperial examination. His conscience is gone. Our Qiu family will never mess with such a person."

"Thank you, Madam Su, for your help and guidance. After the banquet is over, I will go and talk to my distant cousin and ask her to get her dowry back first."

"Your Highness is too polite. Your distant cousin is also a poor person. She met such a damn man."

"That's what happened. I can't stand seeing women being bullied. I will definitely support her in this matter and will not let her be bullied again."

Ye Jintang's words were clear, and she was also telling Madam Su that she would take care of the matter. It would be better for the Qiu family to withdraw from it as soon as possible, so as not to let the relationship between the two families be affected by Zhang Xian.

"Alas, we women already have a hard life, and when we encounter such a terrible thing, it is really driving us crazy."

Mrs. Su shook her head helplessly. It was unfortunate for their family to be involved with such a villain.

Ye Jintang achieved her goal, so she didn't talk to Madam Su alone, as there were still a lot of ladies waiting to meet her.

As soon as Ye Jintang left, Madam Su called the maid who was serving her over and whispered a few words to her, and the maid quickly left.

Although Ye Jintang didn't know what Mrs. Su said as he walked away, he could guess roughly.

The Qiu family probably won’t care about Zhang Xian’s affairs, so it will be easy for her later.

Suddenly, some plots flashed through Ye Jintang's mind.

She said that the name Zhang Xian seemed familiar to her at first, and now she finally remembered it.

In the original novel, it seems that Zhang Xian is a man of King Xiao Yi of Qi.

It was also with Zhang Xian's help that Lord Qiu later became a member of the King of Qi's party.

Zhang Xian does not have many roles in the original novel, and he acts as a sharp blade in Xiao Yi's hand.

After Xiao Yi ascended the throne, he did a lot of bad things for Xiao Yi.

Later, he even betrayed Lord Qiu for the sake of power, and directly wiped out Lord Qiu's entire family during the rebellion of King Zheng.

Although the original novel did not explain Zhang Xian's fate in the end, King Zheng was a cruel and ruthless person. How could he keep Xiao Yi's people? It was estimated that they would die.

Thinking of this, Ye Jintang was secretly shocked. He really couldn't imagine that Zhang Xian, a scholar, could have such a ruthless side.
