Zhong Huai became more depressed as he listened. The more money he earned from the free clinic today, the more he spent.

That's a lot of cash. It's all because of this lady's meddling. I've never seen her so concerned about the clinic before.

Now it seemed like they were deliberately making trouble for him.

It was almost noon when Ye Qingluo came out from the inner room.

Li Er hurried forward and respectfully handed over the account. "Madam, this is the money that came in from the back. Please take a look."

"Keep it."

Ye Qingluo said lightly, glancing at the people present, finally landing on Zhong Huai.

"Manager Zhong looks so bad, are you feeling unwell?"

"No...no."

"That's good. Li Er did a good job today. Zhong Huai, you should understand what I mean, right?"

Li Er was stunned, but quickly reacted with gratitude in his eyes.

Manager Zhong suffered a loss in the matter of silver, and given his personality, he will definitely hold a grudge.

The lady said this in front of him and so many people present, which was tantamount to telling them that he was hers.

If I make things difficult for myself, I will be making things difficult for her.

Zhong Huai was stunned, but also heard the hidden meaning, and replied with gritted teeth, "Please rest assured, Madam, I understand everything."

"Better so."

After this incident, it was a good opportunity for other people in the clinic to know who the real owner of this place is.

As soon as I returned to the Marquis' Mansion, before I even entered the courtyard, I saw Cuizhu running towards me in a panic.

"Madam, something serious has happened."

"What's the matter?" Ye Qingluo asked Cuizhu without stopping.

Cuizhu calmed herself down and said, "Just now the housekeeper came to me and said that the old lady's treatment would cost five thousand taels of silver. I..."

"Did you give it?"

"No, there are only 10,000 taels of silver left in the dowry. If another 5,000 taels are taken away, there will really be very little left. Besides, I dare not ask what you have told me to do, Madam."

"That's it."

Ye Qingluo replied, "If the housekeeper comes again, tell him that since ancient times, women have never been asked to pay for things, unless the man is dead."

He hadn't paid back the money he owed her, but he wanted to continue to withdraw money from her. There was no such a beautiful thing in the world.

Cuizhu nodded repeatedly, thinking that her wife had really changed.

Those silver coins were originally given by the master to his mistress for her to live on, but after being taken away bit by bit over the years, only ten thousand taels were left.

The lady's temperament changed drastically, and she was probably still secretly sad about her husband's demotion.

"I'm a little tired and need to rest. You can deal with anything first."

Before entering the house, Ye Qingluo paused and said to Cuizhu, "Remember that you are mine. You don't need to be afraid of anyone in this mansion."

"If anyone has any objections, let them come to me. I will support them no matter how big the problem is."

Ye Qingluo pointed out that what she was going to do next was extraordinary and she didn’t need people who were submissive around her.

I just hope Cuizhu won’t let her down.

"My slave understands!"

A light ignited in Cuizhu's eyes and she clenched her fists secretly. The lady trusted her so much, she must not let her down!

As Cuizhu had not responded to the matter of the five thousand taels of silver for a long time, and he learned that Ye Qingluo had returned home, the housekeeper felt a little uneasy and went to the courtyard.

Cuizhu, who was guarding there, saw the person coming and said unceremoniously, "Butler, what do you want?"

The housekeeper looked into the house with a smile on his face, "Cuizhu, have you mentioned the matter of silver to Madam?"

"Just mentioned it."

The housekeeper was happy, "Then can you give me the silver? The old lady is still waiting for treatment."

Ye Qingluo, who was in the room, did not say anything when he heard the noise. He just wanted to see how Cuizhu would handle the matter.

Cuizhu, who had the support of her own wife, said bluntly, "Butler, I can't give you this silver."

The housekeeper's face changed drastically, and he asked hurriedly, "Why?"

"My wife said that since ancient times, no one has ever lived on a woman's dowry. If others knew about this, they would think that the Marquis is a gigolo."

"Butler, if I gave it to you, wouldn't that be a disgrace to the Marquis?"

The housekeeper was choked by Cuizhu's words and didn't know how to continue for a moment.

"Butler, you'd better leave quickly. My wife is resting."

Cuizhu waved her hands. For the first time, she felt so happy!

The housekeeper's face turned pale, and he looked at Cuizhu angrily, cursing, "You damn girl, just wait for me!"

"How dare you say that the Marquis is a gigolo? See how the old lady will punish you!"

Cuizhu also has a bad temper. She has been with Ye Qingluo since she was a child. She came from the general's mansion and has martial arts skills.

But the lady had been patient over the years and told her not to meddle in other people's business, so she could only respond and picked up the broom beside her and swung at the housekeeper.

"Butler, if you don't leave, I won't be polite!"

The housekeeper didn't expect Cuizhu would really dare to take action, so he quickened his pace and left!

Ye Qingluo saw all of this and realized that he was right about Cuizhu.

Cuizhu had just put down the broom when she saw Ye Qingluo coming out at some point. Her face blushed as she thought of what had just happened.

"Madam, why did you come out..."

"I just……"

"You did very well."

Ye Qingluo praised, "If you encounter someone who is unreasonable in the future, you don't need to explain too much."

"Yes...I understand!"

It was her first time taking action and being seen by the lady, Cuizhu was still a little nervous, worried that the lady would blame her.

Now the Madam not only didn't do it, but also praised her, so she felt much more relieved...

"Madam, you must be hungry. I will go to the kitchen and get some food."

Cuizhu turned around and left. If the lady continued to praise her, she would be so happy that she almost fainted.

Ye Qingluo sighed, was he really that fierce? This little girl...

She was about to go back to the house, and as soon as she stepped in, she felt a figure approaching her.

There's someone in the house!

Ye Qingluo's eyes turned cold, and the silver needle in his hand "flew" towards the man.

I only heard a muffled groan...

Ye Qingluo locked the location and found the person was behind the screen!

"get out!"

"Yesterday you said we were partners, but today Madam wants to kill us all. How unkind of you."

A deep and pleasant voice sounded in the house. Ye Qingluo's body stiffened. Was this voice Ye Beimo?

His Royal Highness the Regent!

She came behind the screen and saw the man half leaning on the chaise longue, with a faint smile on his handsome face, his beautiful eyes reflecting her figure, and in his hand was the silver needle that she had "flown" out.

Ye Qingluo was shocked. When did he come in? If it was the moment she left the room, why didn't she notice it?

And silver needles...

"This silver needle is extremely sharp and the workmanship is ingenious. I'm afraid it's not for medical treatment. Madam, is it for killing people?"

Ye Qingluo always felt something was weird when hearing Ye Beimo calling her "Madam" over and over again.

"What do you call me?" Ye Qingluo asked.

Ye Beimo's smile was undisguised, and his tone was melodious, "Madam..."

"Is there a problem?"
