Ye Jintang glanced at Qingcuiyuan and his heart turned cold.

"You want to embarrass me? Dream on."

"Madam Zhang, go to the front yard and ask who is in charge. Tell them that I am too weak to endure this hardship. If there is no suitable yard for me to live in at the Marquis of Danyang Mansion, I will leave now."

Ye Jintang stood at the gate of the yard, with no intention of going in.

"Yes, slave, go right away."

Nanny Zhang was naturally well aware of what was happening in the backyard. It was obvious that the old lady of the Danyang Marquis's Mansion was deliberately making things difficult for Ye Jintang.

If she just endures this, she will probably no longer have a place in the Danyang Marquis' Mansion.

"Girl, the snow is getting heavier, let's go over there to take shelter."

Lian Qiao took out a large cloak and put it on Ye Jintang. The snowflakes just now had turned into heavy snow.

"Well, everyone come to the pavilion to avoid the snow."

Nanny Zhang was gone for half an hour, and it seemed that things were not going well for her either.

Fortunately, the result was good. When Nanny Zhang came, she brought several maids and old women with her. They had tools in their hands and it was obvious that they were here to clean the yard.

Ye Jintang curled her lips. Old Madam Ye really hated her, otherwise she wouldn't have been so determined to let her live in such a shabby yard.

"Miss, this is Nanny Sun, the Nanny in charge of the backyard."

"Greetings, Sixth Miss. I'm really sorry for what happened today. It's all because of my poor discipline that the maids under my command didn't clean up the yard for the young lady in advance."

"Young lady, please sit down for a moment. The maids will soon tidy up the yard."

"Mammy, I'm afraid I can't wait. It was windy just now and it's so cold outside. I already have a headache. Why don't I find an inn to stay in first, and then move back after the maids have cleaned up the yard."

Ye Jintang frowned and spoke in a small voice, looking like he could faint at any time.

Today, so many people watched Ye Jintang enter the Danyang Marquis Mansion. If she went out to stay in an inn at this time, the Danyang Marquis Mansion would probably be known as a place that mistreats an orphan girl.

How could Nanny Sun dare to let her move out?

"Sixth Miss, why don't you go to the nearby Jade Garden to rest first."

"That's fine. Madam Sun, I'm weak and afraid of the cold. Please ask the maid to bring me some charcoal. I can't stand the strong smell of smoke. Please help me find some charcoal without much smell of smoke."

Ye Jintang said something very politely that made Nanny Sun feel stuffy in her chest, then she stood up with a big smile and asked Nanny Sun to take her to Feicui Garden to rest.

Feicuiyuan is much better than Qingcuiyuan. There must be someone cleaning it every day, so it is very clean.

Ye Jintang guessed that the Jade Garden was used by relatives visiting the Marquis' Mansion for a short stay, otherwise it would not have been decorated so well.

"Young lady, please sit down for a moment. I will call someone to bring some charcoal."

Although Nanny Sun was extremely reluctant, she had no choice but to bring the charcoal to Ye Jintang.

While she was going out to call for someone to bring charcoal, several of Luzhu's maids immediately took out clean and soft cotton mats from the boxes and placed them on the Luohan bed.

They were afraid that Ye Jintang would be cold, so they brought a woolen blanket and covered his legs with it.

When Nanny Sun came back, she saw that the house had changed drastically. She couldn't help but sigh that the maids that Ye Jintang brought with him were very efficient in their work.

"Sixth Miss, drink some tea to warm yourself up."

When Nanny Sun saw that Ye Jintang’s face was red from the cold, she specially brought her some hot water, a teapot and tea leaves.

Unfortunately, no one thought highly of what she brought.

"My daughter is used to fine porcelain teacups, and these are too rough."

Luzhu took out the tea set and tea leaves that Ye Jintang usually used, and took away what she had brought in front of Nanny Sun.

Nanny Sun was so angry. Looking at the fine porcelain used by Ye Jintang, she had a question mark in her mind.

Didn't Ye Jintang say that all his money was swindled away? How could she afford such an expensive teacup? If she was not mistaken, the set of lotus blue sky teacups that Ye Jintang used would cost at least several hundred taels of silver to buy.

She would definitely talk to the old lady later, maybe Ye Jintang was not as poor as they imagined.

There was a charcoal fire in the room and it quickly warmed up.

Ye Jintang drank tea and was not in a hurry. She asked the maids to clean up slowly. After all, she had plenty of time and patience.

It was snowing outside the window. Ye Jintang was already tired. She leaned on the soft pillow, looking at the heavy snow outside the window. She fell asleep in a daze without knowing when.

She slept very deeply. When she woke up again, Lian Qiao was the only one in the room doing needlework. Xuetuan was curled up at her feet, snoring in his sleep.

"Lianqiao, what time is it?"

"It's just after noon. Are you hungry, young lady? Chef Wei just made some eight-treasure porridge and said that you can drink it as soon as you wake up."

"I slept for so long, no wonder I'm a little hungry."

"Go and bring me a bowl of eight-treasure porridge so I can fill my stomach."

"I'm a slave, go now."

As soon as Lianqiao left, Liuli came into the room.

"Miss, even if Qing Cui Yuan is cleaned up, it is still very simple. I just went to check it out and found that all the furniture in the house is old and has been there for who knows how many years. Even if it is cleaned up, it cannot be used by you."

"The room is a little damp, the floor is wet, and just now Aunt Zhang brought the charcoal basin into the room, and there was a musty smell in the room for a long time."

"There are also some windows that are still leaking even though we have re-papered them."

"How can you live in a house like that?"

Liuli went to Qingcui Garden for a walk and became more and more irritated the more she looked.

The Danyang Marquis' Mansion is too bullying. Even the maids wouldn't want to live there just by looking at the appearance of Qingcui Garden.

Ye Jintang has never been a soft persimmon. It is simply a pipe dream for the old lady to give her a warning as soon as she enters the door.

"Don't worry. I will find a way to ask Madam Sun to send people to rebuild Qingcui Garden. I won't live here until it's finished."

Half an hour later, Nanny Sun came into the room with a smile on her face.

"Sixth Miss, Qing Cui Garden has been cleaned up. You can have someone move the boxes and crates in first, and put the things away quickly before it gets dark."

"Don't worry, I'll go over and see if the yard is habitable."

Ye Jintang put on a thick cloak, and as soon as she went out, the howling north wind blew, making her shiver uncontrollably.

"The wind in the capital is so cold that it makes my bones chill."

"The winter in Beijing is a bit cold. It will be even colder when the New Year approaches."

Nanny Sun accompanied Ye Jintang to Qingcuiyuan.

All the weeds in the yard have been pulled out, but the ground is uneven and you can still see the stubble left by cutting the weeds.

The window paper was pasted on the window again, but the window looked cheap, not even half as good as the one in the Jade Garden where she had just been.

Just as Liuli said, there was a bunch of broken furniture in the room. Perhaps because the cleaning was done in a hurry, the furniture was still wet, making the room even more humid.

Even if a charcoal basin was placed in the room, the unpleasant musty smell could not be removed.
