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

"Let's go to the warehouse now!"

The more Su Wan thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She felt like she had fallen into a trap.

"Madam, the warehouse is in front."

The housekeeper who was called in anxiously took Su Wan to the warehouse, and she almost fainted when she saw the pitifully few items inside.

"How...how could this happen..."

"Second Madam, could it be that after Madam handed over the power of the housekeeper, she was dissatisfied with you and deliberately did something about it?"

"It must be like this!" Su Wan was so angry that she wanted to go back to Ye Qingluo to find out, but she didn't expect the slap she received this morning.

That bitch, besides herself, is also a skilled maid, and she had brought so many people with her before but failed to gain any benefits.

If I go there now, I will definitely suffer.

The Marquis is not at home, so the only one who can have a say at this time is the old woman.

After learning the purpose of Su Wan's visit and what happened early in the morning, Old Madam Chu was furious.

"Wan'er, has the wound on your face been treated? Do you need me to find a doctor?"

"Thank you for your consideration, mother. Although I was slapped by my sister, it's not a big deal. But the account book and the deficit in the warehouse are really strange."

"When I led people there, I just thought we were robbed."

"Go find Ye for me now!"

Old Madam Chu quickly understood what Su Wan meant and said in a deep voice.

After the maid responded, she returned quickly after a short while.

"Madam, there is no one in the madam's courtyard. She must be the one who went out."

"Mother, about the account book..."

After hearing this, Su Wan became even more certain that this matter was related to Ye Qingluo.

"When she comes back, I will interrogate her in detail. If I find out that she has embezzled the money from the Marquis' Mansion, I will make Bei Yu divorce this vicious woman!"

It was not until almost evening that Ye Qingluo brought Cuizhu back to the mansion.

Just as I was about to return to the courtyard, I saw the maid rushing forward.

"Madam, the old lady asks you to come over here when you come back."

It's the old lady again.

Ye Qingluo asked, "Is Su Wan with her mother?"

"Yes..." The maid saw this and did not hide it, "The second lady has been in the old lady's courtyard all day today."

"That's no wonder."

"Madam, will this be another trouble in the second wife's life?" Cuizhu asked Ye Qingluo after the maid left.

"Su Wan is there, I think she also noticed the problem with the account book."

"Let's go and see what excuses she can come up with."

"Madam, the lady is here."

Because of the old lady’s anger before, the maid outside came in first to report before Ye Qingluo arrived.

Su Wan, who was massaging Madam Chu's shoulders, was secretly proud of herself. After spending a whole day here, she finally found the person she had been waiting for.

"What does mother want from me?"

Ye Qingluo asked Madam Chu when he entered.

"Ye, kneel down!"

"Even if the mother wants to punish, should she give a reason? This is really puzzling because of no reason."

"In these years, Bei Yu was not in the mansion. I trusted you and gave you the power of housekeeper and the management of the account books. Who would have thought that you would dare to embezzle money? The act of embezzling money is unforgivable!"

"Wan'er, tell her about these account books and the deficits in them!"

"If she doesn't give me an explanation today, I will punish her according to family rules!"

Hearing what Madam Chu said, Su Wan felt secretly proud in her heart. No matter what, this bitch would never be able to leave here safely.

Ye Qingluo took over the account books, his face remained calm, and there was no sign of any impending disaster.

"Mother, I don't think there is anything wrong with this account book."

"No?" Ye Qingluo's words shocked everyone. Su Wan immediately asked, "Then sister, can you explain why there is such a big deficit in the mansion's accounts?"

"Since my sister wants to check the accounts, she should have seen everything clearly."

"The books at the back clearly record every expense in the mansion, including the money spent on entertaining guests when my sister came home, as well as the mansion's daily expenses."

"If you don't believe me, you can call the housekeeper. Although I had the power to control these things before, the housekeeper has always been there to assist me."

Seeing Ye Qingluo's clear and logical explanation, Su Wan was completely stunned.

Madam Chu was half-believing and half-doubting, and raised her hand, "Go and call the housekeeper."

In a short while, the housekeeper rushed over. When he saw that besides Old Madam Chu, there were also Su Wan and Ye Qingluo in the room, he felt something was wrong.

These two ladies have never gotten along, and I'm afraid something might happen again.

"Madam, do you have any instructions for me?" the housekeeper asked Madam Chu respectfully.

"Butler, please take a close look at these account books. Are there any false accounts in them? Are the numbers on them false?"

The butler who received the order immediately began to look through the account books. After nearly half an hour, he finally sorted them out.

Before he could speak, he heard Su Wan anxiously ask, "How is the housekeeper?"

"In reply to the old lady and the second lady, I have sorted it out. There is no problem with this account book."

"No... How is this possible..."

Ye Qingluo raised the corners of his lips, taking in all of Su Wan's emotions, "Sister, since you want the rights of the housekeeper, you should fulfill these responsibilities."

"I think this shouldn't be difficult for my sister, mother, don't you think so?"

Old Madam Chu's complexion improved a lot. When she heard Ye Qingluo's words, she hummed lightly. She understood better than anyone what would happen if there was a deficit in the account book.

But she didn't care about any grudges between Su Wan and Ye Qingluo. The most important thing to her was the dignity of the Marquis' Mansion.

"Mother, now that everything has been made clear, I will go back."

Su Wan looked at Ye Qingluo leaving, feeling angry and annoyed. If there was nothing wrong with the account book, and she was in charge of the accounts in the mansion.

Doesn't that mean that whenever the mansion needs money, she will have to make up the difference?

But when she married into this marquis's mansion, she had given up all the dowry of 60,000 taels, and now she had to pay for it out of her own pocket. Su Wan's face looked extremely ugly for a moment.

"Mother, this account book matter..."

Mrs. Chu seemed guilty when Su Wan mentioned this. "Okay, I'm tired from today's work. You all should go out."

"Wan'er, what Qingluo said just now is right. The housekeeper's affairs concern the whole mansion. She was able to do a good job before, and you must also fulfill your duties in the future. Don't let me down."

Hearing that Old Madam Chu sent her away with just a few words, Su Wan suppressed her anger in her heart but dared not show it.

At the moment, she only knew one thing, that she was cheated by Ye Qingluo.

But it just so happened that this was her own fault from the very beginning.

Su Wan clenched her fists. The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. As soon as she stepped out of Madam Chu's room, her blood boiled and she fell to the ground without standing firmly.
