Chapter 219 Invitation
"How is this possible? How could I not know whether Sixth Girl has medical skills or not?"
In the room, Old Madam Ye had a puzzled look on her face, and Madam Gan beside her also couldn't understand why Ye Jintang suddenly changed after getting married, and was completely different from when she was in the Marquis' Mansion.
"Someone once said that the prescriptions of Bencaotang were written by Sixth Girl. I didn't believe it at the time. I just thought that the King of Qin opened Bencaotang under the banner of Sixth Girl to make money. Now it seems that the prescriptions of Bencaotang may really have been written by Sixth Girl."
"If this is true, then we were badly deceived by the sixth girl. She clearly has a lot of abilities, but she kept them to herself and didn't tell us a word."
"Who said it wasn't? If Bencaotang was our Marquis's property, I dare not imagine how much money we could make."
Madam Gan looked up at the furnishings in Madam Ye's room. Ever since the last theft, the furnishings in her room had been getting worse day by day. In order to ensure that the Marquis's Mansion could survive and not split up, she had sold almost everything that could be sold.
If the Marquis of Danyang's Mansion had an industry as profitable as Bencaotang, their lives would not have been so difficult even if the mansion's treasury was stolen.
Mrs. Gan felt extremely upset when she thought about it. She cursed Ye Jintang in her heart, saying that Ye Jintang was an ungrateful person. Her surname was Ye, but she was so ungrateful.
No wonder she was not tortured to death after marrying the tyrannical Prince Qin. She bought that love with money.
Old Madam Ye, who had the same idea, was so depressed that she almost vomited blood. She wished she could cut Ye Jintang into pieces to vent her anger.
"Mother, since the sixth girl has such a lot of skills, besides the prescription for treating colds, will she know other prescriptions?"
"If she could write us a prescription and let us open a herbal remedy like Baicaotang, then we would have a treasure chest."
When Mrs. Gan said this, Mrs. Ye, who was feeling depressed just now, suddenly had her eyes brightened.
She was just sulking just now, why didn't she think of this?
"You are still young and smart. I will write a visiting card to Sixth Girl right now. As a grandmother, I will come in person. I don't believe that Sixth Girl will be so cold-faced as to reject me."
Madam Gan nodded vigorously with a smile on her face. "We in Tianqin country attach great importance to filial piety. The word filial piety is so important. Not to mention a prescription, even if there are 10 or 20 of them, the sixth girl will write them to her mother."
"If she doesn't give it to you, you will fall ill and find some officials you are familiar with to file a petition. By then, it will not only be the Sixth Girl who will be affected, but also the Prince of Qin's Mansion. With the Prince of Qin's tyrannical temper, the Sixth Girl will definitely not have a good ending. She will probably ask for the prescription for her mother."
Madam Gan and Old Madam Ye smiled at each other. The women in the back house had many tricks. It was too early for a little girl like Ye Jintang to play tricks on them.
Immediately, Old Madam Ye took out paper and pen and wrote a visiting card to Ye Jintang, saying that she had not seen Ye Jintang for a long time and wanted to visit her at Prince Qin's Mansion.
When the servant from the Marquis's Mansion came to the Prince of Qin's Mansion with a visiting card, there were already many people standing at the gate of the Prince of Qin's Mansion. They all came to deliver the visiting card, hoping that Ye Jintang could help them with their medical treatment.
The servant in the marquis's mansion squeezed for a long time before he could get the visiting card in.
He was just about to say that he was from the Danyang Marquis's Mansion, but the clerk who was collecting visiting cards didn't even look at him, let alone listen to him.
After the lunch break at noon, Ye Jintang had been studying medicinal herbs in Yingchun Pavilion. When she felt tired and wanted to stand up and walk around, Nanny Liu brought her a large stack of visiting cards.
"Your Majesty, we received 32 visiting cards in total. Most of them were from the families of high-ranking officials above the third rank, and several large families also sent visiting cards."
"Besides the Li family, have the other three great families in the capital also sent their visiting cards?"
"Yes, all of them."
Ye Jintang was very puzzled as to why all these noble families had sick family members.
I only heard Aunt Liu explain immediately, "These big families have a large population, and there are always people who get sick, especially some elderly ladies, who have more illnesses."
"I see."
Ye Jintang almost forgot that this was the Tianqin Kingdom, where large aristocratic families rarely split up.
"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Danyang Mansion also sent a visiting card today."
As she spoke, Aunt Liu handed a visiting card to Ye Jintang.
Just by looking at the handwriting, Ye Jintang recognized it at a glance. It was the handwriting of Old Madam Ye.
Last time, Old Madam Ye also sent a visiting card, asking her to go back to Danyang Marquis Mansion to visit her.
The visiting card was not written by Old Madam Ye herself. She took one look at it and threw it aside, not even wanting to pay attention to it.
It seems that the cold treatment she gave to Old Madam Ye last time made her realize that the Marquis of Danyang Mansion was nothing in her, Ye Jintang's eyes. This time she learned her lesson and wrote the visiting card in person.
Unfortunately, it was still a waste of effort. Ye Jintang threw the visiting card on the small table and didn't care about the affairs of Danyang Marquis Mansion at all.
She is now determined to leave the capital, so please don't bother her with the trivial matters in the Danyang Marquis' Mansion.
"Does Your Majesty know that so many visiting cards have been sent today?"
"When this servant came here, I had already sent someone to tell the prince."
"Well, send the visiting card to the prince and ask him to reply."
"Yes."
Xiao Mo had already thought of a way to refuse.
He only told others that Ye Jintang was extremely tired after seeing patients for two consecutive days. She would be resting in the palace for the next half month, and everything would be discussed after half a month.
As for whether Ye Jintang will still be there in half a month, it is hard to say.
Master Mu has assigned Ye Jintang a lot of homework recently. It is late at night, but she is still fiddling with various medicinal herbs.
Xiao Mo, who had been busy all day, did not disturb her, but stayed up late with her silently.
After flipping through a few pages of the military book in his hand, Jiang Heng quietly entered the room.
"Your Highness, a spy just reported that someone was poking his head outside the alley, as if he was trying to gather information."
Xiao Mo, who was a little sleepy just now, woke up instantly.
"It seems that the person we are waiting for has arrived."
"You continue to send people to keep an eye on it, and report any signs of trouble to me immediately."
"Yes."
As soon as Jiang Heng left, Xiao Mo immediately came to find Ye Jintang. He leaned over to her ear and whispered, "The big fish is coming."
The two were so close that the hot breath from Xiao Mo's mouth fell on Ye Jintang's ears like feathers when he spoke.
Her cheeks suddenly turned red.
Xiao Mo, who was standing by, looked at the blushing woman in front of him in the candlelight and felt his throat a little dry.
"That's great, I thought they weren't coming after waiting so long."
Ye Jintang pretended to be calm. She put down the brush in her hand, immediately avoided Xiao Mo's scorching gaze, and looked towards the yard in the faint moonlight.
"Why haven't you entered the yard yet?"
"Those people are very cautious. It will probably take an hour before they can come in."
"Ah? So we're just going to wait here?"
"Why don't you take a nap first, and I'll call you when they get here."
"No, I still want to test the poison I just made on them. If they fall asleep, all the assassins will be dealt with by you, then my waiting will be in vain."
Xiao Mo just smiled and said nothing. He had already made arrangements, and Ye Jintang's hopes were likely to be dashed.
How could he let her take risks?
