Salted Fish Lady Loves to Eat Melons

Chapter 55: Meeting the Prince at the Dali Temple

A crow was crying softly on a branch, as if wailing about the crisis that was about to befall the mansion.

Wen Qingwan looked calm, but her heart was filled with rage. The Ye family dared to confront the Marquis' Mansion head-on at this time.

This shows how terrifying the hidden strength of the Ye family is. No wonder a merchant’s daughter can be listed among the four concubines.

A few years later, the Ye family still seemed to be an honest royal merchant, but in fact, it was hiding countless filth and darkness.

On the surface, they are doing legitimate business, but behind the scenes they are hiding countless crimes and conspiracies.

The Ye family seems to have no power, but in fact, they have many daughters and are related to many aristocratic families by marriage, and they are secretly very powerful.

The eldest brother of the Ye family appears to be a humble and polite gentleman, but in fact he is a ruthless and greedy villain.

He used the wealth and power of his in-laws to act recklessly and do whatever he wanted, and was even more cruel and ruthless towards his competitors.

He never competes fairly with his opponents, and is even willing to murder his opponents for his own selfish ends.

At this moment in her previous life, Wen Qingwan was trapped in the East Palace and had no idea what was happening outside, but she knew that many years later, the Ye family had flourished.

They almost monopolized many money-making businesses, and the economic lifeline of the Great Sheng Dynasty was in their hands.

Their financial resources were so strong that even she, who was reviewing memorials every day, was wary and did not dare to touch the Ye family easily.

The Ye family's businesses were spread all over the Great Sheng Dynasty, from money houses, salt, tea, silk to ironware and building materials.

The Ye family’s reach is all-encompassing and all-encompassing.

The daughter of the Ye family appears gentle and quiet on the surface, but in fact she is a scheming, sinister and cunning woman, and extremely vicious.

Not only did they murder the royal offspring, they also put the blame on other concubines. Moreover, the daughter of the Ye family was very meticulous, and it was difficult to find any evidence against her.

The reborn Wen Qingwan didn't want to get involved, after all, she had never entered the palace in this life, but the girl from the Ye family actually dared to point her finger at her nose and scold her.

She wanted to take this opportunity to bring down the Ye family and eliminate the harm to the merchants in Dasheng, and at the same time she also wanted to earn more merit points.

But this time they hit a wall. The Ye family became more powerful at this time. It was a real mistake!

The Ye family actually reported her husband to the Dali Temple. Although it was true that the Ye family girl damaged the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, it was not a trap she fabricated.

But if the Ye family hides their strength at this time, then Xiao Jin will be implicated and sent to jail.

If she had known the result would be like this, she would have turned a blind eye and endured it!

Oh! She should bear the consequences.

"I have said that if the Ye family dares to provoke the Marquis' Mansion, we are not afraid to file a complaint with the emperor. What are you all doing standing here? Just do what you need to do."

Seeing that her sister-in-law was as steady as an old dog, and was comparable to her elder brother, Xiao Yi felt at ease in an instant.

Watching the sunlight cast on my sister-in-law's graceful figure, highlighting her beautiful and graceful face.

Even the crying crow was frightened by the sister-in-law's aura and flapped its wings and fled.

"Jinque, come back to my room with me and change your clothes. We are going to the Dali Temple."

Wen Qingwan saw that all the obedient people around her had dispersed, so she gave instructions to Jinlan.

"Sister-in-law, Yier will go with you." Xiao Yi was afraid that her sister-in-law would suffer.

"Why would a girl like you go to a place like that? Stay at home and make clothes. My sister-in-law has a new style here. See if you can make it."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. Yier will definitely be able to do it." Xiao Yi took the drawing from her hand and ran away in a hurry.

She had to ask her third brother to accompany her eldest sister-in-law to the Dali Temple, and she couldn't let her eldest sister-in-law go alone.

Wen Qingwan looked at her back and shook her head. She had some kindness towards Xiao Yi because she saw how tenacious she was. In her previous life, Xiao Yi had been ruined by her cousin from the Yin family, but she still managed to cling to the fifth prince and became his concubine.

In the end, she died on the way to her fiefdom together with the fifth prince and the princess, which shows that she was a person who would never admit defeat.

"Madam, are we going to the Dali Temple to visit the Marquis?" Jinque asked excitedly. Their young lady still liked her brother-in-law very much.

"He should still be in the morning court. Let's go see what cards the Ye family has."

"Yeah, yeah." Jinque followed Wen Qingwan's footsteps and quickly returned to their yard.

A moment later, Wen Qingwan appeared wearing men's finery, a jade hairpin on her head, and a white folding fan in her hand, with a calm look on her face.

"Sister-in-law? Is it really you?" If Xiao Litao hadn't been standing at the gate of his eldest brother's yard, he wouldn't have dared to believe that the person in front of him was his sister-in-law.

"Third brother, why are you here if you're not teaching your younger brothers and sisters?" Wen Qingwan didn't want to take the third brother with her.

If anything happens during this trip to the Dali Temple, wouldn’t that harm one more person?
"My third brother is worried about my eldest sister-in-law going alone."

"What's there to worry about?" Wen Qingwan said as she bent down to pick up an egg-sized stone on the ground. She squeezed it with her hands and it turned into powder in an instant.

"..."

Xiao Litao was stunned, "Sister-in-law, you are so amazing!"

"It's okay. Do you still want to go with me?" Wen Qingwan poured the powder in her hand on the ground, clapped her hands and asked.

"No, I'll go teach my younger siblings." Xiao Litao said and ran away, as if there was a ghost chasing him.

Wen Qingwan looked at his back and shook her head, "Jinque, let's go."

"Madam, please get in the carriage."

Wen Qingwan said to Jinque: "When you go out, remember to call me Master."

"Yes, husband...sir." The woman from Jinque answered respectfully, secretly surprised in her heart. She didn't expect that her young lady knew more than her.

"Sir, should we go directly to the Dali Temple or go to the shop first?" Jinque asked softly after getting on the carriage.

Wen Qingwan frowned slightly, "No, I believe in your ability."

She thought, I’m going to be sent to jail soon, why should I bother looking at the shop!
Wen Qingwan seldom went shopping in her past and present lives. She lifted the car curtain and looked at the bustling streets filled with dazzling goods.

People were wearing all kinds of clothes, some were wearing brocade robes, and others were wearing conical hats.

It felt very strange to her, and she was overwhelmed by the sight, and soon she arrived at the gate of Dali Temple.

As soon as she got off the carriage, she saw a crowd surging like a tide, and the officials at the door were holding spears, ready for battle.

The crowd was squeezed together to form a human wall, as if some important person was coming to Dali Temple.

The officers swept their cold eyes over everyone, as if they wanted to see through their hearts.

Wen Qingwan felt a little depressed and uneasy. She tightly grasped the folding fan in her hand, trying to hide her inner nervousness.

Jinque stuck close to Wen Qingwan, looking at the crowd around her, her heart filled with excitement.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd screamed, followed by a commotion.

Wen Qingwan raised her head and saw several guards on horseback walking slowly towards her in the distance, followed by a group of attendants holding swords and guns.

The one in the front is the chief guard of the Eastern Palace. It turns out that the prince came to the Dali Temple in person.
