Chu Beiyu returned to the study with mixed feelings. What puzzled him now was not only the letter that Ye Qingluo mentioned, but also Jiang Yuan mentioned in it.

"Someone is coming."

As soon as he finished speaking, two guards pushed the door open and came in, bowing to Chu Beiyu and saying, "Please give your orders, my lord."

"You ask the people in the mansion to keep a close eye on Madam's whereabouts in the next few days. If there is anything unusual, please report to me at any time."

"Any news about the guards who were rescued that day?"

The two guards looked at each other and replied, "That person's skills are far superior to ours. It may take some time to track him down."

"Hurry up!" Chu Beiyu said angrily. His intuition told him that the reason why Ye Qingluo got the letter was largely related to the guards a few days ago.

Before he got the token, he would never allow anyone to ruin his plan!

No matter if it was Ye Qingluo or someone else...if they touched his secret, Chu Beiyu's eyes would be full of murderous intent, and he would have no choice but to kill them.

After Ye Qingluo returned to the yard and entered the house, his consciousness immediately entered the space.

Looking at the token placed there, his doubts deepened. Judging from Chu Beiyu's reaction during this period, this token might not only be related to the military camp, but there must be other secrets hidden behind it.

At the moment, the original owner's dowry has been basically recovered, and she is not in a hurry to ask Chu Beiyu to spit out the rest.

As for the so-called truth, if you can’t dig deep, then start from the shallow.

Ye Qingluo held the token in her hand, thinking of Su Wan's expression when she left. She had a feeling that the clue was not far away!

As soon as Su Wan returned to the west courtyard, she swept all the items on the table to the ground.

Qiao Er heard the noise and quickly drove the people out of the room, closed the door and asked carefully, "Second Madam, what's wrong with you?"

"You said that I had already paid off the IOU for the Marquis, and also paid another 20,000 taels. Why did the Marquis treat that bitch Ye Qingluo differently?"

Su Wan clenched her fists and was shaking with anger. She couldn't calm down just thinking about the scene of Chu Beiyu grabbing Ye Qingluo's hand.

The Marquis can only belong to her, no other woman is allowed to exist!

"Second Madam, could it be that Madam did something else?"

"I heard from the servants in the mansion that since the Marquis returned, the lady's temperament has changed drastically. Not only is she often disrespectful to the Marquis, she is also disrespectful to the old lady."

"But the strange thing is that although the Marquis was angry, he did not do anything to the lady."

Qiao'er wanted to analyze it in detail, but she heard Su Wan snort coldly with disdain in her tone.

"What do you mean by a sudden change of temperament? It's obvious that he just knew that he has lost his importance in the Marquis' heart and has given up!"

"This must be her way of trying to attract the Marquis!"

Su Wan's face was grim, and she gnashed her teeth in anger, "Now that I'm married, I must not let this bitch succeed!"

"No! I have to get back to the Marquis as soon as possible."

Su Wan felt a sense of urgency in her heart. If Ye Qingluo used some means to confuse people, her position would be in jeopardy.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Chu Beiyu already appeared outside the yard. Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly signaled Qiao'er to clean up the things that had just been swept away.

"My Lord, you are finally here."

Su Wan threw herself into Chu Beiyu's arms with a charming look on her face. Her pitiful look made Chu Beiyu particularly moved.

He held her in his arms, thinking that this was the posture a woman should have.

In comparison, Ye Qingluo's words and actions seemed extremely vulgar.

"My Lord, my sister..."

"Let's not talk about her for now." Chu Beiyu looked around and saw that there was no one around. He asked the person in his arms, "Wan'er, let me ask you what's going on with Bai Zhuo, the second son of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"The Dali Temple came to me again today and said it was related to the robbery incident last time."

"Wan'er, how much have you concealed about this?"

Su Wan's pupils shrank, and her body trembled unconsciously, "My Lord, it was Bai Zhuo who threatened me first and asked me to help him return to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"I...I had no choice but to do this."

Su Wan covered her chest with her hands and made an expression of unbearable heartache.

"My Lord, I was wrong about my mother. Please punish me."

Seeing Su Wan like this, Chu Beiyu felt even more reluctant, "Since Bai Zhuo was the one who was so cruel, what does it have to do with you?"

"It's just that I hope you understand that no matter what you do, don't act on impulse."

"And as for that IOU, even if you want to return it to Ye Qingluo, you should discuss it with me in private." Chu Beiyu complained. He had originally wanted to use the dowry brought by Su Wan to continue to maintain relationships in the court.

But now the IOU has been recovered, but the money is gone, and Ye Qingluo is stubborn, so if you want to get the money back from her, you may encounter more troubles.

Su Wan didn't expect that what she did not only failed to win Chu Beiyu's praise, but also made him unhappy. She was a little confused for a moment, "My Lord, the silver has been given now, how about I go and talk to my sister?"

"You don't have to go to her. Ye Qingluo is a vicious woman who always acts without rules. If you go, you will probably be wronged by her again."

Chu Beiyu, who noticed Su Wan's emotions, spoke softly.

"Wan'er, I feel bad for you for giving away your dowry, but you have nothing left. What are you going to do in the future?"

Chu Beiyu's words of comfort were mixed with temptation.

Su Wan smiled again after hearing this, "Don't worry, Lord Hou. My father gave me a lot of shops before I got married. The income from those shops will surely make up for the deficit soon."

The reason why those people in the Shangshu Mansion were against her was simply because they were jealous of her father for giving them those things.

"Then I will be relieved."

Chu Beiyu finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Without this source of money, he would be restricted in every way.

"My Lord, my sister is very busy with her affairs. I have been here for a few days and I want to do what I can."

"Especially the management of the backyard..."

Chu Beiyu immediately understood what Su Wan meant after hearing this. "That's easy. You are my second wife, so it's your job to manage the harem."

"I will have someone tell Ye Qingluo later to hand over the stewardship to you."

"To prevent that woman from causing trouble and bringing me trouble!"

Chu Beiyu agreed immediately and gave the power to Su Wan. Ye Qingluo had no real power, so he had the final say on whether to deduct money from her.

"Thank you, my lord!" Su Wan's face was full of joy. Now that she had the power of a housekeeper, she would see how she would torture that bitch!

……

Early in the morning, Su Wan brought people to Ye Qingluo's courtyard. Cuizhu looked alert when she saw the newcomers.

"Second Madam, what do you want to do here with your butler and these people?"

Su Wan glanced at her with an arrogant look, "Where is Ye Qingluo?"

"Tell her to come out quickly!"
