The mistress of a marquis's family divorced her husband and married someone else: the scumbag&#

"Madam, the Marquis and the Second Madam..."

Cuizhu couldn't help but be dazed as she watched this scene, not understanding what was going on.

"Don't you think they are a good match?" Ye Qingluo narrowed her eyes. He thought of causing trouble in front of her with just this trick. It seems that the day when she will get the clue is not far away.

Su Wan, who was forcibly dragged away by Chu Beiyu, looked aggrieved. She asked carefully, "My Lord, what's wrong with you?"

"Are you upset because of what your sister said?"

Chu Beiyu looked at the pitiful Su Wan, then he realized his misconduct and his tone softened again.

"nothing."

"Wan'er, I've encountered some difficulties recently and need some money. Can you help me?"

Su Wan was stunned, and responded without thinking, "I wonder how much silver the Marquis wants?"

"Twenty thousand taels."

"Later, I will ask someone to deliver the silver to you, My Lord, but as for my sister..." Su Wan looked embarrassed and looked at Chu Beiyu.

When Ye Qingluo was mentioned, Chu Beiyu's expression darkened a little, "Don't worry about her!"

"Although she is the mistress of the Marquis's mansion, Wan'er, you only need to remember that you are the Marquis's co-wife. There is no essential difference between your status and hers."

"If something goes wrong, I'm here."

Su Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief after getting the promise. Just now, she saw that Chu Beiyu never attacked Ye Qingluo even when he was angry, and she really thought that the bitch had a different opinion in Chu Beiyu's heart.

Now it seems that she was overthinking it.

"Okay, I have other things to do. You should go back and have a good rest first."

Seeing that the matter of the silver had been settled, Chu Beiyu did not stay any longer. After comforting her a few times, he turned around and left.

"Qiao'er, go and prepare the silver and send it to the Marquis."

Su Wan then gave instructions to the maid who followed her.

Qiao Er looked confused, "Second Madam, the dowry you brought this time plus some other savings is only 60,000 taels."

"Now that I have given the Marquis 20,000 taels, there is only 40,000 taels left."

"What's the point of talking? Just do it!"

She just needed to make Chu Beiyu feel that she was the only one who could help him.

In the next few days, Su Wan became much more obedient and no longer made trouble like before. Even Old Madam Chu didn't know what method Su Wan used. Not only did she not care about the tea incident, she also praised Su Wan highly.

After Cuizhu told Ye Qingluo what happened in the mansion, she sighed several times.

"What's wrong?" Ye Qingluo was looking at the medical book in his hand, and when he saw Cuizhu's sad face, he couldn't help but ask.

"Madam, I just feel that you have been working hard every day in the Marquis' Mansion for these years, but you have not been able to gain any understanding from the Marquis and the old lady. But the second lady is good. She has not been around for a long time, but she is regarded as a treasure by them."

Whenever Cuizhu thought of these two people's attitude towards her wife, she felt very unfair.

"Doesn't this also prove the old saying that the easier it is to get something, the less worth mentioning it is?"

“But this status quo cannot last long.”

Cuizhu nodded slightly. Fortunately, her madam was no longer as indifferent as before, otherwise she didn't know how much grievance she would have suffered.

"By the way, madam, I heard something else." Cuizhu's eyes lit up as if she thought of something.

Ye Qingluo looked at Cuizhu, waiting for her next words.

"I heard from Qiao'er, who is beside the Second Madam, that a few days ago, the Second Madam gave the Marquis 20,000 taels for some reason."

"And someone asked me in front of Madam what the account you mentioned that day was about."

"Is there still this?"

After hearing this, Ye Qingluo suddenly came up with an idea. Given Chu Beiyu's personality, it would be impossible to get him to pay off the original IOU without some special means.

Since Su Wan was eager to give money to Chu Beiyu as soon as she came in, why doesn't she take advantage of this?

"Cuizhu, do you know how much dowry Su Wan brought this time?"

"It seems to be sixty thousand taels."

"It's not the fault of the 20,000 taels. Su Wan gave it to me just because she said so." Ye Qingluo raised the corners of his lips slightly and said meaningfully.

"You said Su Wan is so generous, what would she do if she knew about those IOUs?"

"Madam, what you mean..." Cuizhu opened her eyes wide and immediately understood what Ye Qingluo meant.

"Slave, let's do it now!"

The next day, Su Wan hurried to Ye Qingluo's courtyard early in the morning.

Seeing the person coming, Ye Qingluo was surprised, "I haven't seen you for a few days. You have learned the rules and come to pay your respects so early."

Su Wan's face darkened instantly when she heard this, and she said bluntly, "Ye Qingluo, I am the Marquis's concubine, and there is no essential difference between my status and yours."

"But you, the so-called mistress, have long been in name only!"

Ye Qingluo was not annoyed, but sat down on the chair nearby.

"Then tell me, what is the purpose of your coming here today?"

"I recently heard that you have an IOU written by the Marquis. Is this true?"

Ye Qingluo nodded, "That's true. My sister mentioned it today. Could it be that you want to pay it back for him?"

"That's right!" After saying this, Su Wan immediately responded and looked at Ye Qingluo with a proud expression.

"Ye Qingluo, take out those IOUs and I will pay you back the money!"

In Su Wan's opinion, the reason why Chu Beiyu showed mercy to Ye Qingluo that day must be because of the IOU.

As long as she returns the silver, Ye Qingluo will definitely not get any benefits, and that will be the day when this bitch dies!

"Sister, that's really straightforward."

"Cuizhu, go and get all those things out."

Since a sucker has come to us on his own initiative, there is no reason to turn him away.

"Yes."

Soon Cuizhu placed the IOUs in front of Su Wan. When Su Wan saw the numbers on them, her eyes widened in shock.

"Forty thousand and ten taels!"

"What on earth needs so much money, Ye Qingluo, are you trying to fool me on purpose?"

"The Marquis's handwriting is all over it. If you don't believe it, why don't you take it to him and check it to see if it's real?"

After Ye Qingluo's words, Su Wan remained silent for a rare moment. She had spent some time with Chu Beiyu and knew his handwriting.

She originally thought that no matter how many IOUs there were, they would only be 10,000 or 20,000 taels, but who knew there would be so many!

Twenty thousand taels of the sixty thousand taels dowry had already been given out, and the remaining forty thousand taels could only barely cover the amount on the IOU.

But if that happens, she will be left with nothing.

"Second Madam, please think twice." Qiao'er urged Su Wan to dissuade her.

Seeing Su Wan's hesitation, Ye Qingluo sighed softly, and then said slowly, "If my sister can't take it out, then forget it."

"These IOUs were originally owed by the Marquis. They have nothing to do with you, right?"

Su Wan was immediately annoyed when she heard this, "Who said it has nothing to do with me!"

"Ye Qingluo, I am different from you!"

"It's just 40,000 taels, what's so difficult about it!"
