"Sixth Miss, what are you doing with all these scriptures in your hands?"

Jiang Zhi suddenly asked Ye Jintang, which scared her.

"Greetings, Lord Jiang. These are some scriptures that I copied for my late parents."

"Have your parents been buried in the ancestral tomb?"

"not yet."

"Oh, can you set a date? Jiang wants to go and pay respect to the elders."

Ye Jintang glanced at the scriptures placed on the stone table, then looked at Old Madam Ye cautiously, and Jiang Zhi followed his gaze.

The more Ye Jintang acted like this, the more cruel Madam Ye became. Who was she showing that pitiful look to?

"Today, the sixth girl just said that she had finished copying the scriptures. I thought of asking someone to check the date so that the sixth girl and her husband can be buried in the ancestral tomb as soon as possible."

"It's just that the Sixth Girl has too little time to copy the scriptures. I'm afraid that the Sixth Girl is too anxious and doesn't copy the scriptures properly, so I asked the maids to help check it out."

"The scriptures are nothing else. If something goes wrong, the gods and Buddhas will probably blame me."

Old Madam Ye was determined that Ye Jintang had forged the scriptures, and she took advantage of this incident to delay the burial of Ye Li and his wife in the ancestral tomb indefinitely.

"Have you finished checking now?"

"not yet."

Jiang Zhi asked about the whole story again and continued, "Then let's watch and see if the Sixth Miss can copy tens of thousands of words of scriptures in such a short time."

Others may not believe Ye Jintang, but Jiang Zhi does.

Although the two of them had not spent a long time together, he believed that Ye Jintang was thorough and would never leave any handle for others.

Since Jiang Zhi said so, Old Lady Ye had no choice but to ask Nanny Sun and others to continue checking the scriptures.

While they were talking, the Fourth Prince Xiao Yi kept his eyes on Ye Jintang.

He had never seen a woman so beautiful. In Xiao Yi's eyes, Ye Jintang was as beautiful as the lotus flowers that had just bloomed in the pond in the early morning.

But he didn't know that Ye Jintang was actually a poisonous black lotus.

When Xiao Yi was looking at Ye Jintang, Ye Yanran was also looking at him.

A few months ago, Xiao Yi and Ye Yanran fell in love at first sight at the White Horse Temple.

Logically speaking, since Xiao Yi happened to meet the women of the Ye family at this moment, he would naturally exchange glances and communicate more with Ye Yanran.

But at this moment, his eyes were always on Ye Jintang, and he didn't even give Ye Yanran a glance.

What is Xiao Yi's identity? With his current reputation in the court, it is possible for him to become the crown prince or ascend the throne as emperor in the future.

Only Ye Yanran is worthy of such a good Xiao Yi, so what can an orphan like Ye Jintang do to her?

Ye Yanran was unhappy, but she was still rational and knew very well that she couldn't show up in front of so many men from other places, so as to avoid being talked about behind her back.

A woman's reputation is more important than her life. She can only endure it for the time being and come back to settle the score with Ye Jintang.

On the other side, Nanny Sun, who was checking the scriptures, was so anxious that she was sweating profusely. She was about to finish checking all the scriptures, but she couldn't find any mistakes or omissions.

What to do now?

Nanny Sun knew best what Old Madam Ye was thinking. If she didn't do a good job, she was afraid that she would be blamed.

"Madame Sun, have you finished checking?"

Without giving Nanny Sun time to think too much, Ye Jintang was the first to ask.

"I have checked everything, and all the scriptures are fine."

Nanny Sun had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell the truth.

As she finished her words, everyone present looked at Ye Jintang in disbelief.

That was a scripture of tens of thousands of words, and it was actually possible to copy it all within a few days, even if one had to work without sleep to complete it.

Looking at Ye Jintang's wife for a moment, the noble lady felt mixed emotions and was filled with pity.

"Madame Sun, please look carefully. All the scriptures were copied by the sixth girl herself."

"I have read it carefully, and no one helped me copy it."

Old Madam Ye didn't expect that after waiting for such a long time, she would get such a result. Did she really have to agree to bury Ye Li and his wife in the Ye family's ancestral tomb?

Whenever she thought of this possibility, she felt a tightness in her chest.

She was just trying to find an excuse to get away with it when she heard Jiang Zhi say, "Since the matter is clear, why don't I pick a date so that Lord Ye and his wife can rest in peace as soon as possible.

"We in the Censorate like to check dates the most. Five days from now will be an auspicious day, which is very suitable for burial. Why not choose five days from now? I will be in the capital on that day and can go to pay tribute to Lord Ye."

Jiang Zhi said so, what else could Madam Ye say?

She was unwilling in her heart, but she had no choice but to agree to it.

She couldn't afford to offend the Censorate.

Old Madam Ye forced herself to smile and said a lot of high-sounding words to herself, roughly meaning that everything she did was for the good of Ye Jintang and the good of Ye Li and his wife.

"Grandma, it's getting late. Can we go to Tingxue Pavilion first?"

Madam Ye looked at Ye Yanran with great appreciation and said with a smile, "That's right. When I met the Fourth Prince just now, I was so busy talking that I neglected all the ladies."

After saying this, Old Madam Ye exchanged a few polite words with Xiao Yi and the others before taking them to Tingxue Pavilion for the birthday banquet.

Ye Jintang deliberately walked at the end. She wanted to sneak away when no one was paying attention.

But she didn't expect that Nanny Sun would deliberately stare at her and not let her leave.

She had no choice but to suffer and go to Tingxue Pavilion to attend the birthday party.

However, the burial of her parents in the ancestral tomb has been finalized, so it doesn't matter if she attends Old Madam Ye's birthday party.

Not long after walking forward, Ye Jintang turned back for some unknown reason. Inexplicably, her eyes met with Jiang Zhi's suddenly. Ye Jintang was so scared that she quickly looked away and dared not look at him any longer.

"Brother Ye, your sixth sister is quite interesting."

"Your Highness, you are too kind. My sixth sister is really naughty. Not long after returning to the Marquis' Mansion, she made my grandmother very angry. A few days ago, my grandmother specially found a nanny to teach her."

"As a result, the nurse got sick for some reason and was really ill for quite a while."

Ye Dong couldn't help but shook his head as he spoke.

Jiang Zhi on the side didn't say much, but the corners of his lips raised, revealing the joy in his heart at the moment.

"The Sixth Miss and the Other Miss are a little different."

Ye Dong didn't want to discuss Ye Jintang with Xiao Yi, so he immediately changed the subject.

"Your Highness, please come this way. The banquet in the front yard will soon begin."

"please."

Xiao Yi glanced in the direction of Tingxue Pavilion and turned to walk towards the front yard.

Back in Tingxue Pavilion, a buffet banquet had already been set up, and all the ladies and ladies had taken their seats. Ancient music started playing, and there was singing and dancing in the air.

Sitting in the crowd, Ye Jintang tried hard to reduce his presence.

She had just made the old lady very angry, so she had to be on her guard to prevent the old lady from causing trouble.

In the end, the old lady didn't bother her, but Ye Yanran came over.

Ye Yanran held a wine cup and sat beside her with a smile on her face.
