Jiang Yuqi didn't push back when she heard this, being able to get those medicinal herbs earlier would allow her to improve her physique and regain some of her strength.
"Three days later, I will go to Cloud Mountain View." Jiang Yuqi quickly set a date.
"Good." Yuan Yang quickly nodded, "We'll go to Kan Shi Town to pick up Miss Jiang at that time."
Jiang Yuqi did not refuse.
Although the Ye family had a carriage, the old horse was really too old and walked very slowly not to mention that it was also very strenuous.
The point was, the Ye family would occasionally go out, and it would be great to have someone to pick her up.
After the appointment, Jiang Yuqi followed her two uncles back.
She still had to deal with Xu Xiniang's matter.
...
Meanwhile, in the Ye family's backyard, Qi Mujiu was helping Ye Mengwen.
Ye Mengwen had placed a small stove on the stone table in the yard, with charcoal burning in the stove, and when the charcoal fire burned brightly, he put the mussel shells in to burn.
Qi Mujiu's task was to use the poker to clip out the burnt mussel shells and put them into the basin.
The weather was a bit hot, even though he was working under the shade of a tree, Qi Mujiu still felt a bit overwhelmed and kept fanning himself with a fan to relieve the heat.
"I said why are you so stupid?" Ye Mengwen had just come out from the stove room after refining the lard, when she realized that Qi Mujiu was standing by the stove fanning himself, the back of his shirt was soaked with sweat.
"What do you keep standing by the stove for? Is it because you want to roast yourself?" Ye Mengwen quickly stepped forward and reached out to push Qi Mujiu aside.
"Why don't you stand here and wait until that mussel shell is almost burnt, then go over and clip it into the basin?" Ye Mengwen said with some dismay.
This person was really honest to the point that she was a bit speechless.
This small stove had charcoal in it, and it wasn't just any ordinary firewood, so there was no need for him to keep an eye on it from the sidelines.
"Oh, good!" Qi Mu Jiu nodded his head in a hurry.
He had thought that he had to keep watch all the time.
Ye Mengwen had been busy in the stove room earlier, and he had secretly gone to see it, and his second sister-in-law Tian was over there helping with the fire, and hadn't left for a moment.
He thought he had to guard the stove without moving an inch.
Qi Mu Jiu first time to do this kind of work, at first thought it was quite interesting, a long time, feel hot panic.
He didn't realize that he didn't have to guard it all the time at all, it was his own stupidity.
"Mother don't be angry, I will definitely not be wrong next time." Qi Mu Jiu subconsciously said.
Ye Mengwen smiled at his words, this man is quite a dog ah!
"Qi Mu Jiu, was your previous daughter-in-law fierce?" Ye Mengwen suddenly asked.
If not, how did this man recognize his mistake so quickly?
Qi Mujiu was stunned at his words, and only after a moment did he say, "It was quite fierce!"
"No wonder you are so obedient." Ye Mengwen smiled so much that her eyes curved, "Don't worry, I'm a very good person, I never bully people, when you get through the hard times and return to the capital, we can make peace, and you continue to go find your daughter-in-law."
Although Ye Mengwen thought that Qi Mujiu was good looking, since she heard her daughter say Qi Mujiu's true identity a few days ago, she didn't want to get too involved with this man.
After experiencing so many things, even if Qi Mujiu's identity is noble, she is not afraid of it anymore, there is a feeling of going out of her way.
As a prince of Qi Mu Jiu, married her widow, already outrageous, how can live with her peacefully?
So, just don't make things difficult for yourself!
When Qi Mu Jiu returned to the capital, they would make peace.
Qi Mu Jiu's eyes widened at his words, "You ... you know my true identity?"
"Of course!" Ye Mengwen nodded: "Yu Qi has already told me, my daughter can pinch and count, just by looking at your face, she knows your true identity, you are a prince, even if the Emperor exiles you now, it doesn't matter, it won't be many years before he lets you go back, and maybe he will even reinstate you to the title of Prince."
Ye Mengwen said and laughed: "When the time comes, I can make peace with you, but ... you are eating and living with me now, you must compensate me in the future, you are a prince, you must be very generous, right?"
"Of course I'm generous ..." Qi Mu Jiu subconsciously nodded, but that was already a long time ago, now he is penniless, what to have nothing.
Not waiting for him to finish his words, Ye Mengwen nodded: "That's good, when the time comes, you casually give me a few tens of thousands of taels of silver, to ensure that I have no worries about food and clothing in the future on the line."
Tens of thousands of taels ...
Qi Mujiu's eyes widened at the words!
This woman really dared to open her mouth.
"Even if I return to the capital, it's impossible for me to make up with the crown princess, no..." Qi Mu Jiu shook his head, "It's also impossible for me to make up with that woman."
Qi Mu Jiu was really a little sad.
He was good to his own princess, even if she only gave birth to a daughter, he had never taken a concubine, and only had a few common rooms, which were also arranged by the princess.
Qi Mu Jiu actually does not care about these, because he never wanted to ascend to the throne, in that case, the birth of a boy or girl for him will not make much difference.
He had promised the Princess that if she did not give birth to a son by the time she reached forty, he would take a concubine.
Ten years before they agreed, the princess abandoned him.
That woman claimed that she cared about him the most, but as soon as he lost his title of Prince and was exiled by his father, they made peace with him.
In that woman's heart, her mother's family, her honor and wealth, was a thousand times more important than him, Qi Mu Jiu.
If it wasn't for this kind of incident, he would have thought that the couple was the most enviable couple under the sky.
It seems he was overthinking.
Qi Mu Jiu was very sad the other day.
As for now?
What was there to be sad about when life was a crime?
For Qi Mu Jiu, the most important thing nowadays was to feed himself first.
A man of the hall can't keep eating soft food, right?
"Husband and wife were originally birds in the same forest, but they fly separately when the big trouble comes." Ye Mengwen said and patted Qi Mujiu's shoulder, "You also don't be too sad, you're a prince, when the emperor forgives you in a few years and restores your title of Prince, by then ... there will be more little beauties from noble births rushing to marry you, by that time, that former princess of yours will surely regret immensely and cry and beg you to Let her go back, and you'll just wait for a good smack in her face!"
Qi Mu Jiu's eyes widened at his words!
Did Ye Mengwen mean what he said?
Would Father really let him return to the capital and restore his title of Prince?
"This is what our family Yu Qi said, you know she can pinch and count, what she said is definitely not false, so ..." Ye Mengwen winked at Qi Mu Jiu: "All you have to do now is, do a good job of helping me out, and as long as I make silver, you'll be able to eat fragrant and drink spicy food, otherwise ... just by going to help people write letters, you'll never want to eat enough."
"But ..." Qi Mu Jiu still wanted to struggle a bit.
He really didn't want to eat soft rice!
"But what?" Ye Mengwen said and gently pushed Qi Mujiu, "The mussel shells in the stove have burned through, go clip them into the basin."
"Good." Qi Mujiu quickly nodded and immediately took the fire poker to clip it, but ended up missing the clip and the mussel shells fell to the ground.
"Forget it, I'll do it, it's more appropriate for you to be the master." Ye Mengwen snatched the fire poker from his hand and pushed the man aside, not to mention how disgusted he was.
