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

Noble Consort Dehui, who had been patient for a long time, finally couldn't bear it anymore and prepared to take action against Xiao Mo and Ye Jintang.

"Madam Hua, I can't wait any longer. Ye Jintang must die immediately. Her reputation in the capital is getting higher and higher. Everyone says that she is the reincarnation of a miracle doctor. Not only is she an excellent doctor, but even the rouge and powder she makes have the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin."

"If this continues, it won't be long before the Qin Palace will no longer be short of money. By then, more and more people will support Xiao Mo. I can't just sit there and wait for death."

"My Lady Imperial Concubine, leave this matter to me. I will make sure that the Princess of Qin dies suddenly and silently within three days."

Nanny Hua is best at poisoning enemies.

Countless people have died at her hands over the years, and she has a wide variety of poisons. If she takes out any one of them, Ye Jintang will definitely die.

"I want Ye Jintang to die immediately. You must do this for me. I don't want to drag it out and cause more trouble."

"I understand"

Nanny Hua naturally knew what kind of trouble would come if Xiao Mo had the money, so she put all her efforts into handling the matter.

Noble Consort Dehui had planted many spies in the Prince of Qin's Mansion. From the housekeeper to the maids and old women, there was always one of her people.

Wanting to poison Ye Jintang to death in one go, Nanny Hua thought about it and decided to start directly from the kitchen. She did not consider whether other people would be poisoned.

Nanny Hua sent out a colorless and odorless poison called Linggu Powder overnight, which would cause death after 12 hours of ingestion.

Ye Jintang has been entertaining some familiar ladies and noble girls at the Prince of Qin's Mansion in the past two days. Most of them have used Ye Jintang's jade cream and rouge and powder, and feel that Ye Jintang is a humble princess and very easy to approach. They are also willing to visit her and chat with her about women's matters.

Madam Qi was a frequent visitor to the Prince of Qin's mansion.

"Jintang, here I come again."

Madam Qi entered Yingchun Pavilion with two maids and servants, smiling. One of the maids placed a large food box on the table.

"Sister Yu, you are here for a simple meal, why do you bring such a big food box? Are you bringing your own food to eat here?"

As he spoke, Ye Jintang and Madam Qi laughed together.

"I brought something good."

The maid opened the food box, revealing the rice inside.

I saw that the rice grains were different from the rice on the market. The refined rice sold in the rice store was all white, while the rice that Madam Qi brought had some green on both ends.

"This is called Jade Rice. It comes from the deep mountains in the south. I heard that it is extremely difficult to grow. Not only does it have high requirements for the environment and climate, but it also has high requirements for the land. It can only be grown on a small piece of land. In the past, it was sent as a tribute to the emperor in the palace. Later, due to bad years, the production of Jade Rice was too low, so it was no longer sent to the palace."

"Just this little bag of mine, guess how much silver it is worth."

Ye Jintang grabbed a handful of jade rice, and a faint fragrance wafted to his face. He knew it was good rice just by smelling it.

"The food the emperor eats is naturally very expensive. I'm afraid it costs a hundred taels of silver per pound."

Madam Qi smiled and shook her head, "You underestimate those profiteers. Jade rice is now priced at 200 taels of silver per pound, and the supply is in short supply."

If 200 taels of silver were given to ordinary people, it could at least support a family of five for a lifetime.

In the hands of dignitaries, it is just a pound of rice. It is really ironic to think about it.

Ye Jintang casually collected some jade rice into the space. Since the price of jade rice was so high, she would naturally plant more of it. In the future, she would specialize in exploiting the high-ranking officials in the capital. They had silver, and she had unlimited jade rice.

Even if she doesn't sell medicinal herbs in the future, she can still make a lot of money by selling jade rice.

"Then let's try the Jade Rice today to see how delicious it is."

"Exactly. I got some Emerald Rice yesterday, and I couldn't wait to share it with you."

"Since Sister Yu brought such good rice, I naturally cannot let Madam down. Today, the kitchen has prepared braised young rooster, sweet and sour black fish, and stir-fried pork with sour bamboo shoots."

"Oh, these are all my favorite foods."

When Madam Qi talked to Ye Jintang about food, she talked nonstop.

After a while, Gu Wan'er came to see Ye Jintang for something, and Madam Qi found an excuse to slip away to the kitchen, saying that she wanted to learn from Ye Jintang.

It wasn't a big deal for Gu Wan'er to come to Ye Jintang. There were always people stealing rouge and powder from the cosmetics workshop, and she really couldn't think of a solution, so she came to ask Ye Jintang.

With so many female workers leaving work together, it is impossible to search all of them after they leave work, so we must come up with a foolproof plan.

"That's easy. You can order a batch of work clothes and require the workers to go to the workshop to change into them every day before they can go to work or leave work."

"In the summer, thin clothes cannot hide the rouge and powder."

"Wouldn't that be too much trouble? There are hundreds of sets of clothes."

"It's not a problem at all. You can just send someone to a few more clothing stores and buy them back."

The clothes that female workers wear to make their work more convenient are not complicated and are easy to change. They can definitely be changed within ten minutes.

Those with impure intentions cannot hide their true intentions even with a small box of rouge as long as they change into their work clothes.

"I'll do it right away."

Gu Wan'er didn't dare to waste time and went to order work clothes immediately.

"Lüzhu, where is Madam Qi? She is not going to the kitchen to learn cooking skills again."

It was not the first time that Madam Qi went to the kitchen of Prince Qin's Mansion, and Ye Jintang did not think much about it.

"I will go and call Madam Qi over right now."

Today, Madam Qi brought out emerald rice, a rare delicacy, and it was served on the table after two dishes of green vegetables.

As soon as the small bowl of rice was placed on the table, a strong aroma of rice hit the face.

Ye Jintang gently took a mouthful of rice and put it into his mouth, exclaiming, "It is indeed the tribute jade rice, with a rich rice aroma and a soft and chewy texture, which is different from ordinary rice."

No matter in her past life or this life, Ye Jintang had never eaten such delicious rice, and she couldn't help but eat more.

"Don't even mention two hundred taels of silver, I'd be willing to buy it even if it's five hundred taels. Unfortunately, I can't buy it even if I have the silver. Jintang, you should eat more. This is just some Emerald Rice. If you eat it up, it will be gone."

Madam Qi took a big mouthful of the emerald rice. She was in a good mood and her eyes narrowed slightly, looking like she was enjoying it very much.

How much could the two women eat? After a bowl of rice, Ye Jintang felt that she had almost finished the next few dishes. She hardly touched them. Madam Qi, on the other hand, ate very happily and finished more than half of the dishes.

"I made you laugh today."

Madam Qi also knew that she had eaten a little too much and felt a little embarrassed.

"Sister Yu likes to eat, which shows that my chef is very good. If there are any delicious dishes next time, I will definitely ask Madam to come and try them."

"It's a deal, and I mean it."

The two of them were more than 20 years apart in age, but they could somehow talk to each other, as if they had met too late. When Mrs. Qi got along with Ye Jintang, she felt several years younger.

"If Yu Ling had been half as smart as you, his family wouldn't have been destroyed."

Suddenly, Madam Qi said this out of the blue. Ye Jintang felt that the name Yu Ling sounded familiar. Just as she was about to ask, Madam Qi stood up and said goodbye.
