"Madam, the Marquis is back!"

Ye Qingluo had just come back from paying respects to her mother-in-law when she heard the maid Cuizhu's ecstatic shouts. The account book in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and she asked in a trembling voice, "What did you just say?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a tall man who had not taken off his armor because he came back in a hurry. He stood by the door against the light, and the sword at his waist was shining brightly.

But I saw another woman standing next to him. This woman was petite and had a pretty face. Although she was smiling, there was a hint of disdain on her face.

The two of them standing together are extremely well matched, like a perfect couple.

Ye Qingluo staggered for a moment. Before she could step forward, she saw the woman step forward and bow gracefully, her tone was particularly intimate, "This must be the sister that Brother Beiyu mentioned."

"Sister is here to pay respect to elder sister."

"Ma'am, be careful!"

Cuizhu saw Ye Qingluo about to fall to the ground and hurried to help him.

Ye Qingluo managed to steady herself, feeling bitter inside. She looked at the man walking towards her and said in a hoarse voice, "Husband, who is she?"

Chu Beiyu saw the sadness in her eyes, his eyes flickered, and there was a trace of guilt in his eyes. He spoke lightly while the woman called, "Her name is Su Wan, she saved my life. I have asked the emperor for permission to exchange her status as a co-wife for my military merits."

"From now on, you two will call each other sisters. You will be in charge of the East Courtyard, and she will be in charge of the West Courtyard. You won't interfere with each other."

"Plain wife?"

Ye Qingluo smiled bitterly, looking at the man in front of her with bitterness, a man she had earned through military merit!

Her chest rose and fell violently, and her voice almost trembled, "Chu Beiyu, do you still remember what you promised my father?"

"you you you!"

Ye Qingluo finally couldn't hold on any longer, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and everything in front of his eyes went black.

"Ma'am...wake up?"

I heard a soft cry.

The bright light from outside the house made it impossible for her to open her eyes, and countless memories rushed into her mind.

She has crossed!

This body has the same name as her, also called Ye Qingluo, and has been married into the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion for three years.

Three years ago, Pingyuan Marquis Chu Beiyu had not been granted a title of marquis, but was just an ordinary soldier. Because he saved the original owner's father by chance, he was taken to his side by the original owner's father, the general who defends the country. Later, the general discovered that Chu Beiyu had good aptitude for martial arts and was full of passion, so he was taken to the battlefield. He made military exploits and was highly valued. As a result, he was promoted all the way and was given a title of marquis.

On the day of the original owner's wedding, Chu Beiyu proposed to the original owner in front of her father, the general, and the guests present, and swore a solemn oath on the spot that he would never take a concubine in his life, otherwise he would be disgraced and torn into pieces. The general had always placed high hopes on Chu Beiyu, and seeing Chu Beiyu's behavior, he agreed to the marriage on the spot.

Who would have thought that on the night the original owner married into the Marquis' Mansion, she received an urgent summons asking the General Zhenguo and Chu Beiyu to go to the battlefield immediately. They thought they would only be separated for a month or two, but who would have thought that they would be away for three years.

During the past three years, the original owner worked diligently to keep the mansion in good order and took care of her mother-in-law who had a leg disease every day. Just a few days ago, news came that the people led by Chu Beiyu were about to return to the court.

The original owner thought that he would finally see the moon when the clouds cleared, but he learned that his father had been demoted and that the people on the border were suffering. It was even more cruel than taking his life for a general who defended the country to be demoted to that place to be a county governor.

Before she had time to feel sad, the husband she had been waiting for for three years brought back a woman who claimed to be her savior. Even a concubine did not want to let her down, and wanted to marry her as a co-wife.

The original owner suffered a double blow and became so angry that he never woke up again.

What an ungrateful scumbag!

If it weren’t for the support of the original owner’s father, how could Chu Beiyu be in his current situation!

The original owner had served his mother and managed the Marquis' Mansion for three years, but now that he had achieved success, he wanted to abandon him!

It's absolutely ridiculous!

"Woo woo, Madam, how can I live if you die?"

As his thoughts came back to his mind, he could hear bursts of crying in his ears. It took Ye Qingluo a long time to calm down before he opened his eyes with difficulty.

"Don't cry, I'm fine."

Cuizhu was delighted, and when she saw Ye Qingluo was about to get up, she quickly reached out to help him.

"Madam, you must cheer up in the current situation in the mansion and never let those sinister villains make a fool of themselves."

"As long as you are alive, everything will turn around."

Cuizhu saw that Ye Qingluo kept silent and thought that she was still sad about the general being demoted and the marquis taking the woman back.

"Who is that woman?"

Ye Qingluo paused, feeling a sour feeling in his heart.

"I went to ask around and found out that the person's name was Su Wan, and she was the Shangshu's second daughter who was kept outside. I don't know how she managed to save the Marquis by accident."

"Madam, you have been in the Marquis' Mansion for three years. No matter how well Su Wan performs, he is still not half as good as you."

"Second miss..."

Ye Qingluo murmured, so she was just a concubine's daughter, just a second lady who was raised outside, so how did she save Chu Beiyu.

She didn't believe that there was no one helping her behind the scenes.

"Cuizhu, go get some paper and pen. I want a divorce."

Cuizhu opened her eyes wide and forgot how to react for a moment. She looked at Ye Qingluo blankly. Before she could react, she heard a scolding coming from outside the house.

"Ye, do you dare to say what you just said again!"

Looking up, I saw an old lady walking towards me hurriedly with the help of a maid, leaning on a cane.

This person was the mother-in-law whom the original owner had served for three years, but now she was staring at her with angry eyes.

Ye Qingluo's expression remained unchanged. He looked into her eyes without any emotion and answered word by word.

"I said I want a divorce!"

"absurd!"

Old Madam Chu's eyes were wide open with anger, and she raised her cane and knocked it on the ground, making a loud noise.

"It should be a great joy that Beiyu has returned victorious after three years of fighting, but you, on the other hand, have no broad mindset as a mistress should have. Not only are you trying to commit suicide here, but now you even want a divorce!"

"People who don't know would think that I, the Marquis of Pingyuan, did something to you!"

"Ye, since you married into my mansion, we have provided you with all the best food and drink, but your father deserted the battlefield! It is the emperor's kindness to demote your father to a small official in a remote place, don't be ungrateful!"

Every word Madam Chu said was a threat. Ye Qingluo just found it funny. At the beginning, Chu Beiyu's mansion was extremely poor. He was urgently summoned to go to war on the day of the engagement.

During these three years, every expense in the entire mansion was paid from her dowry.

How could this old lady Chu have the nerve to say that she would be “provided” with delicious food and drinks? It was absolutely ridiculous.

"The wedding banquet of Bei Yu and the second young lady of the Shangshu Mansion will be held in three days. All the dignitaries in the capital will be there."

"If you still want to be the mistress, be quiet! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

Perhaps Old Madam Chu felt that she was in the wrong and felt uncomfortable with Ye Qingluo's gaze, so she left angrily after leaving some words.

"lady……"

Cuizhu walked forward worriedly, fearing that her master would fall down like before.

Ye Qingluo was staring at the figure of Old Madam Chu as she left, with a chill in her eyes. What she hated most in her life was threats.

Their “big day” is three days from now, right?

She was determined to stir up the muddy water and see how these people would be rude to her!
