Chapter 6 Whose Pocket
"Yin Xu, have you forgotten how your Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion came to be?"
Ye Qiongying smiled.
"To maintain the Marquis's Mansion, I used my dowry money to find a shop, boost the business and fill your treasury.
The reason you were able to gain a foothold in the army in the first place was that I asked old acquaintances in my family and asked the uncles to support you, bring you into the army, build up your power, and recruit soldiers for you.
The rules and regulations in your house were perfected bit by bit by me and the maids and nannies.
Even the connections that your Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion has made outside are all due to the reputation of my Ye family, and they are maintained bit by bit with me, a girl from the Ye family who has no family education.
Now, you are disgusted with it? What were you doing before? "
Without giving Yin Xu a chance to speak, Ye Qiongying continued:
"As for bullying? I, Ye Qiongying, would not bother to bully an unofficial mistress!
As for her, why don't you ask her how she could deliberately lead me to falsely accuse me of having an affair in front of this group of people, and insist on making a green hat for you, the loyal and brave marquis?
If I hadn't been so upright and stood in the crowd, letting people know that what she said was all nonsense, you might have been turned from a loyal and brave marquis into a cuckolded marquis every time you go out.
Why, do you just like this kind of title?"
Ye Qiongying was certain that what happened today was indeed caused by Leng Qianqian herself, and Yin Xu was not aware of it at first.
It’s not that Yin Xu has any feelings for Ye Qiongying, it’s just that Ye Qiongying knows this man’s thoughts very well.
Yin Xu attached great importance to the reputation of his Yin family.
Didn't I marry her before to expand the family?
Now that I have achieved success and fame, I cherish this hard-earned reputation even more.
Therefore, even though he loved Leng Qingqing very much, he just wanted to divorce her, or find a way to ruin Ye Qiongying's reputation and let Leng Qianqian take the position, instead of forcibly divorcing her, because he was afraid that it would get out and make her reputation look bad.
Even if Yin Xu were beaten to death, he would never do such a thing as voluntarily accusing himself of being a cuckold.
But later... she didn't believe that Yin Xu wouldn't be able to find out. The truth was that Leng Qianqian was the one who did everything.
But at that time, he still chose to protect Leng Qianqian instead of telling the truth, which was enough to prove that this man was useless.
The so-called true love has also clouded his mind.
"What?" Yin Xu was just annoyed by what Ye Qiongying said before. Just as he was about to lose his temper, he was attracted by the following content. "What's going on? Qianqian didn't mention this. Are you..."
"Whether it's true or not, you can go back and ask your Qianqian and you'll know."
Ye Qiongying was too lazy to talk nonsense with this rubbish. She felt sorry for her eyes if she looked at him for one more second.
"Oh, you'd better ask someone else, even a servant, in case your Qianqian starts crying and you don't know anything.
Today's incident has nothing to do with me, but it was your Qianqian. Her things dropped at the scene and were discovered by the Shangshu's wife. All the ladies present knew that she had framed me.
If I hadn't come forward to get her things back and asked the Shangshu's wife for help, she probably wouldn't have been able to leave the Shangshu Mansion today."
Unlike before, Ye Qiongying was no longer willing to play along with them, so of course she told them all these things in one breath.
Yin Xu's face turned red due to her ridicule.
In addition, he had made his fortune entirely thanks to Ye Qiongying's family. Now that he had become successful, he was most averse to others mentioning this matter, so he had no words to refute.
With this incident, he couldn't wait to leave:
"I'll ask clearly! If it is true that you bullied Qianqian today, just wait for me!"
As for what to do if Leng Qianqian was the one who made the mistake, he didn't mention a word.
Ye Qiongying didn't mention it either.
People’s hearts are biased.
It’s just that she is not the one that Yin Xu is partial to.
But it doesn't matter.
Now she is no longer biased towards the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion.
Ye Qiongying lowered her eyes.
When she returns home, she will collect all the debts owed to the Marquis' Mansion!
As for now, it is better to leave this smelly place as soon as possible.
At the same time, in the palace.
The young man sitting on the dragon throne had changed into a golden dragon robe, which was open, revealing his white chest.
No one around him dared to look up at him.
He was holding a woman's purse in his hand and playing with it, with no extra emotion on his face.
On his other side, an old man with a white beard withdrew his hand from feeling the pulse, breathed a sigh of relief, bent over and said:
“Your Majesty, your condition is stable, at least… for now.
If you can maintain this for a long time, you will definitely be able to prolong your life..."
"That's enough!" The young emperor waved his hand, and the doctor's legs trembled, and he quickly retreated. "Get out! Liang Dehai, come forward."
The imperial physician hurriedly crawled out of the room. Only after he got out of the door did he finally dare to raise his sleeves to wipe the sweat off his face. Looking at his clothes again, they were all wet and changed color. He looked as if he had been saved.
The eunuch chief Liang Dehai seemed much calmer than the imperial physician. He looked at the emperor with a friendly look, walked forward, bowed, and said:
"His Majesty."
The young emperor lowered his eyes and spoke in a light tone, with no emotion to be heard:
"Have you found out what happened today?"
"This..." Liang, the chief steward, coughed and said, "Your Majesty, you went out today and dismissed the guards. I don't know why you got sick and fainted. You were taken as... as an adulterer and carried away. That's why you appeared in that room. As for who did it, we are still investigating it, but the current statement from the Shangshu Mansion is that it is related to a concubine of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. When the chief guard Chen..."
"Who asked you these questions?" The young emperor's face flashed with impatience. He waved his hand and threw the cup on the table down. He squeezed the purse with more force. "What I want to ask is who was the woman in the room at that time! Whose purse... is it? Have you found out?"
Liang Dehai did not seem to be too afraid of the emperor's anger. Instead, he looked at his hand worriedly. After making sure that the emperor was not injured, he continued:
"That does make sense. The people in the Shangshu Mansion had already found out that the person who went to that room was the concubine of the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion. Her name was... Leng Qianqian? She accidentally left a purse in the room, and someone discovered that the purse and the one she was wearing were made by the same person. Only then did they know that this matter was related to her."
The young emperor frowned: Leng Qianqian?
but……
One purse has already been discovered, and there is another one hanging on her body, so what about the one in his hand... Why does she carry so many purses when she goes out?
