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

Old Master Wen looked at the skinny and small Ye Jintang, feeling mixed emotions.

If the Wen family had any achievements, he would find a way to keep her in the Wen family.

As long as he was around, he would definitely find a good marriage for her and let her live a carefree life.

But the Wen family has nothing but money.

The Danyang Marquis Mansion in the capital city has many faults, but it is still a marquisate.

When the legitimate daughter of a marquis's mansion chooses a husband, the lowest candidate must be a Jinshi (a scholar in the imperial examination), and in the future she will be the wife of an official. Ordinary people have to pay their respects to her when they see her.

For Ye Jintang, going to the capital and returning to Danyang Marquis Mansion is the best choice.

Ye Jintang naturally knew this truth.

The Danyang Marquisate can give her a noble birth, which is very important for her future life.

"I will take my parents back to Danyang Marquis Mansion."

"Grandfather, my parents must be buried in the ancestral tomb of the Marquis of Danyang Mansion."

Ye Jintang cares a lot about this.

During the time she had been in contact with Ye Song, she had also realized that the Danyang Marquisate only wanted her family's money.

It is hard to say whether they can allow her parents to be buried in the ancestral tomb.

But in order to make her future life smoother, the first thing she did after returning to the capital was to bury her parents in the Ye family's ancestral tomb.

"That's fine. Grandfather knows that you don't have many servants around you, and you've never been to the capital before. Knowing that you were coming, I bought you a few people early on."

Old Master Wen called people over, two young girls and two servants, who looked a few years older than Ye Jintang.

The two maids were a little older, and one of them even had some white hair on her temples.

As soon as they came in, they bowed politely.

"They all worked in the wealthy families in the capital before. These two maids used to be housekeepers in the capital and they are quite capable."

"This is Aunt Zhang. She has taught many ladies from wealthy families. Grandfather wants Aunt Zhang to teach you the rules of the capital so that you won't be criticized when you go to the Marquis of Danyang's mansion."

"Thank you, Grandfather."

Ye Jintang stood up and saluted to Mr. Wen. She didn't expect him to be so thoughtful.

Old Master Wen knew that she would have a hard life in Danyang Marquis' Mansion in the future, so he tried every possible way to help her improve her abilities. As long as she didn't make any mistakes, no one would bother her.

"Jintang, you are my only granddaughter. If I don't care about you, who will?"

When he said this, tears flickered in Mr. Wen's eyes.

Ye Jintang hurriedly said a few words to comfort the old man. She had always been afraid that Mr. Wen would not be able to accept the pain of losing his daughter, and that he would hurt himself in grief.

Then Ye Jintang talked about the exile of the Song family.

"Song Deshan is dead, and my parents' revenge has been avenged."

"It's not enough for the Song family to have only one person, Song Deshan, die. I want to make sure that the Song family will be extinct."

A ruthless look appeared on Old Master Wen's face, but it was fleeting.

"We don't talk about that."

"Butler Liu, go to Ziqiu's place and see if he has returned. Jintang has been here for quite some time but there is no sign of him."

"Yes, I will go and take a look right away."

Butler Liu, who had been standing at the door, left in a hurry.

Ye Jintang was full of doubts. Who was this Zi Qiu?

"I only have your mother as my daughter. A few years ago, my clan asked me to adopt a child and raise him as my own, so that he could inherit the Wen family's huge fortune in the future."

"Unfortunately, I have a weak affinity with children. I adopted several children but was unable to raise them."

"Later, an expert told me that I was destined to have no son, and no matter how many adopted children I had, they wouldn't be able to support them. The expert gave me a solution, which was to adopt an orphan from the clan and raise him as my grandson."

"There are many tricks involved. Zi Qiu was chosen two years ago."

"It's strange to say, but from the first time I met Ziqiu, I felt very close to him. After more than a year of getting along, I feel that Ziqiu is a good person. The Wen family's business has gradually been handed over to him, and he is managing it quite well."

Ye Jintang actually believed what Mr. Wen said to some extent.

This world is full of mysterious things, otherwise she wouldn't be here.

While the two were talking, Wen Ziqiu, dressed in dark blue riding clothes, finally arrived.

Wen Ziqiu is much older than Ye Jintang. He has a tall figure and beautiful eyebrows and eyes, giving people the feeling of a gentleman as gentle as jade.

"Didn't you say you were going to check the accounts at the farm? Why are you dressed like this?"

"I checked the accounts a long time ago. My grandson had nothing to do, so he made an appointment with some friends to play polo. That's why I came back late."

"This must be cousin Jintang."

"Meet cousin Ziqiu."

Ye Jintang walked up to Wen Ziqiu very generously and greeted him.

"I only heard that cousin Jintang was extremely beautiful. Today, after seeing her, I finally understood how beautiful she was."

Being praised so suddenly, even though Ye Jintang was thick-skinned, he still felt a little embarrassed.

"Jintang will stay at our house for a few days. Ziqiu, go and make the arrangements."

As he spoke, Mr. Wen looked at Ye Jintang, who was dressed in men's clothing, and continued, "Xingnan City is very prosperous, not much worse than the capital. When you settle down, let Ziqiu take you around Xingnan City."

"Yes."

Ye Jintang responded very obediently.

The three of them sat in the study and talked for a while. Although Mr. Wen still had a lot to say to Ye Jintang, he was not in a hurry. She was also very tired on the way to Xingnan. After she had rested well, they would have time to talk slowly.

Wen Ziqiu wanted to send Ye Jintang to the courtyard where she lived, but was stopped by Old Man Wen, who asked Nanny Zhang to take Ye Jintang and his group to the backyard instead.

Although both of them are young, there is a difference between men and women after all. Wen Ziqiu is a foreigner, so it is not appropriate for him to always get close to Ye Jintang.

Madam Wen died early, and Grandpa Wen never remarried. After Madam Wen got married, the huge Wen family mansion seemed even more deserted.

"Miss Ye, the master asked me to prepare this courtyard for you. Please take a look and see if it suits your taste. If there is anything wrong, please tell me."

"Thank you, Aunt Ji."

The Wen family is a small family with only two concubines in the backyard. There is no need for anyone to manage the household chores, and most matters in the backyard are handled by Nanny Ji.

The courtyard where Ye Jintang lives is not big, but it is very exquisite. Although it is already autumn, there are still many flowers and plants planted in the yard.

The house was also very elegantly decorated. All the furniture and furnishings were extremely expensive. Even the teapot on the table was made of high-quality porcelain with a delicate texture and rich colors.

Looking at the intricately carved step-out bed in the inner room, it was worth a fortune. On the dressing table was a jewelry box, which contained more than a dozen pieces of jewelry.

Looking at everything in the room, Ye Jintang couldn't help but sigh in her heart that the Wen family was really wealthy. Her room, a little girl's, was decorated so luxuriously.

Ye Jintang didn't bring much luggage when he came, so it was easy to pack.

She asked Zhou Cong to take four of the thickest ginsengs and send them to Grandpa Wen.

Although the Wen family has everything they need, this is also a little token of Ye Jintang's thought.

Ye Jintang had just sat down and taken two sips of tea when Nanny Ji, along with a few servants, came in with a bunch of things.

"Miss Ye, this is the fabric that the master asked me to bring. Please take a look and see if you like it."

The maids brought a total of 20 pieces of cloth for Ye Jintang to choose from.
