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

Nanny Lou went to ask the monks of the White Horse Temple for a room in the upper courtyard and personally took Ye Jintang there.

The yard is of the same size, but the decoration is completely different. If Ye Jintang used to live in a thatched cottage, then this yard is now a mansion.

There is even a small room in the main hall separated by a screen for enjoying the snow. There is a charcoal fire pit and a relatively large charcoal stove in the room.

Even the cushions in the house were thicker than those in her previous courtyard.

Looking at the inner room, no one lives there and there is no biting cold after entering. It can be seen that the walls of the house are very thick and cannot be penetrated even at minus degrees.

Moreover, the room was no longer empty. There were several nice landscape paintings hanging on the walls, and there were many more pieces of furniture in the room than before.

"Madam Lou, my room wasn't specially arranged for me by the old lady, was it?"

"Yes."

Nanny Lou nodded. How could Old Madam Ye allow Ye Jintang to enjoy the special benefits of the Marquis' Mansion?

"very good."

After coming out of the upper courtyard, Ye Jintang just returned to the dormitory and was about to ask Liuli to pack her luggage and move to the upper courtyard, when she saw Ye Yanran walking towards her courtyard with several maids and old women.

"Alas, why is Sixth Sister wandering around outside instead of copying scriptures for Grandma?"

Ye Yanran walked up to Ye Jintang with a smile.

"It turned out that my eldest sister came. I stayed in the house for too long, so I came out to get some fresh air."

Seeing Nanny Lou following, Ye Yanran didn't say anything more.

She just stood at the door of the dormitory and talked to Ye Jintang, and all she said was that Old Madam Ye missed her and felt sorry for her, which was why she asked her to come to see her in the heavy snow.

"Sister, it's snowing heavily outside, why don't we go inside and talk."

Ye Yanran glanced at the simple little courtyard. Even though candles were still lit in the main room, it still felt dark inside.

Ye Yanran would never go into such a shabby house.

"Don't bother. I just want to see that you are okay. Go and copy the scriptures. I won't bother you any more."

Ye Yanran left these few words and hurried away with her people.

"Is Ye Yanran mentally ill? Did you come all the way here just to say some nonsense to me?"

Ye Jintang just muttered a few words, then realized something was wrong.

Just now, when the two of them were standing at the gate of the courtyard and talking, many pilgrims passing by saw them.

Could it be that Ye Yanran was trying to calm the disturbance caused by her kneeling down to copy scriptures?

Unfortunately, if it was yesterday, it might have been of some use, but today, it would be useless even if Madam Ye came in person.

Everyone can clearly see how Old Madam Ye used some dirty tricks to torture her. If she wants to clear herself, she can just dream on.

"Madam Lou, go get some more charcoal. The fire pit in the upper courtyard is quite big, and not enough charcoal will be enough."

"Yes, slave, go right away."

After sending Nanny Lou away, Ye Jintang and Liuli moved the luggage from her room to the upper courtyard.

While moving her luggage, she also took out some other items from the space.

She doesn't like to be wronged. Even if she lives in a temple, she wants to live comfortably.

"Young lady, when I went to get the charcoal just now, I saw Yuxiang, who was serving you, also getting the charcoal."

"Oh, my eldest sister also wants to stay in the White Horse Temple?"

Ye Jintang was very sensitive and felt that something was wrong. Logically speaking, Ye Yanran came to help the old lady clear her name. Since she had completed her mission, she should return to the capital immediately.

No matter how good the upper house of the White Horse Temple is, it is still far inferior to one's own comfortable home.

"Madam Lou, go and find out where Ye Yanran lives and why she came to the White Horse Temple."

"Yes, I will go and find out right away."

In the afternoon, the small snowflakes outside the house grew bigger and bigger, gradually turning into heavy snow.

The room was warm. Ye Jintang was sitting by the fire in the main room, drinking hot tea and reading a medical book.

Liuli took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone and continued to write down her prescription.

She has written nearly ten books, but this is just the beginning, and there are still many prescriptions to be written.

"Miss, I have heard about it."

Aunt Lou hurried into the house holding a white oil-paper umbrella. She had been out for a while and her shoes and socks were all wet, which showed that it was snowing heavily outside.

"how?"

"The eldest girl is also staying in the upper courtyard, but she is not using the name card of the Marquis's Mansion, but the name card of her maternal grandfather, the Gan family."

"Just now, I was standing in the corridor and quietly looked around. I saw several unfamiliar servants in the eldest lady's yard. I don't know where these people came from."

"I know everyone in the eldest lady's courtyard. It's not good to get too close to her. I can't find out who is in her room."

"Well, go and do your work."

Ye Jintang sent Nanny Lou away, becoming more and more curious. What was Ye Yanran doing suddenly at the White Horse Temple?

"Liuli, bring me my human skin mask. I'll go check it out."

"Young lady, don't take risks. A human skin mask can only change a person's appearance, but not their body shape or voice. It's easy to be exposed. Young lady, you want to see who is in Ye Yanran's room. This is not difficult."

As he spoke, Liuli took out a black wax ball from the medicine box.

"This is called a thunder bomb. It's used to escape. If you throw it on the ground, it will explode and create a cloud of white smoke."

"I was bored, so I added some powder to the thunder bomb. The smoke from the explosion will be very choking to the throat."

"As long as you throw the thunder bomb into Ye Yanran's yard, the people in the house will definitely come out."

Ye Jintang thought so too. The thunder bomb could kill the opponent by surprise, and out of fear, the people in the house would come out to see what was happening.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go now."

The two men put on thick clothes, put on big hoods, and covered themselves tightly, leaving only their eyes exposed.

The gate to Ye Yanran's courtyard was closed tightly. She could vaguely hear the maids guarding the gate complaining that the weather was too cold and that Ye Yanran shouldn't have let them guard the gate.

Ye Jintang and Liuli exchanged glances, then quietly left for an unused yard next door.

Liuli brought a wooden ladder and placed it on the wall. "Girl, go watch the door. If a stranger comes out of the room, you will be able to see him through the crack of the door."

"Okay, be careful not to expose yourself."

Liuli nodded, rubbed his arm, and threw the thunder bomb into the yard with force.

There was a muffled bang and a pungent smell coming from next door. Ye Jintang couldn't help but cover his mouth with a handkerchief.

Soon screams of the old women and maids were heard in the yard. The old woman guarding the gate was scared half to death. She quickly opened the gate and rushed out, coughing as she ran.

"Yanran, hurry up, hold your breath, I'll take you out."

Ye Jintang, who was hiding behind the door, felt vaguely that the man's voice sounded familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

"Fourth Prince, my throat hurts."

"Let's go quickly. We don't know if the smoke is poisonous."

A group of people rushed out from the yard. Ye Jintang looked at the Fourth Prince Xiao Yi who ran out and said "tsk tsk" twice. It turned out that the two of them had been hooking up together so early.

She asked why Ye Yanran suddenly stayed at the White Horse Temple, and it turned out that she came to meet her lover.
