"What did you say?"

Without waiting for Madam Chu to speak, Su Wan first showed a look of surprise. She originally wanted to use the matter of the beauty serum to force Ye Qingluo to hand over some silver.

Who would have thought that she gave it all to this old woman.

"Sister, do you think there is something wrong?"

As soon as Ye Qingluo said this, Old Madam Chu looked at her with dissatisfaction.

Su Wan, who was being watched, quickly calmed down and said, "No...no."

Ye Qingluo smiled meaningfully, "I thought my sister had a problem with me giving money to mother."

Don't think that she doesn't know Su Wan's little thoughts. She just wants to use Old Madam Chu to put pressure on herself.

However, even if she gave the money to Old Madam Chu, it would not be a good deal for Su Wan.

The smile on Su Wan's face was uglier than crying. What was happening now was completely different from what she had originally imagined.

When she met Madam Chu's gaze again, she quickly said, "Sister, you are joking. How can I have any objection to you taking out the silver and letting mother distribute it?"

Old Madam Chu nodded, her complexion improved a lot, and the way she looked at Ye Qingluo became much more pleasing to the eye.

"Qingluo, it's thoughtful of you to have such a thought."

"No matter what you are busy with, please don't forget your status as the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion. It is always immoral for a woman to show her face in public."

If someone had not been sent to find out Ye Qingluo's purpose of leaving the house, based on his habit of leaving early and returning late, people who didn't know would think that he was doing something shameful.

Old Madam Chu, who was originally dissatisfied with Ye Qingluo, felt relieved when she thought of the five thousand taels. If she could manage the two businesses well and give her silver every now and then, it might not be a bad thing.

As for Su Wan, she knew all the tricks in the backyard, but as long as it did not endanger the Marquis's Mansion, she could pretend not to know.

"Ma'am, you are here."

A little maid came in and bowed to Madam Chu and Su Wan when she saw them.

Ye Qingluo glanced at the man and felt that he looked unfamiliar. He asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

"Just now, the wife of the censor sent a letter, hoping to invite you to come to her house for a chat."

The maid took out several more letters from her bosom and said, "These letters were sent by the wives of several ladies who are on good terms with the Marquis."

Ye Qingluo glanced at them calmly without much reaction, and said, "Reject them all."

"Rejected?"

Su Wan clenched her fists and raised her voice a lot, but then she realized that Madam Chu was still there, and her tone softened again.

"These ladies are all of extraordinary status. They must have sent invitations with the intention of making friends with the Marquis' Mansion. I'm afraid it would not be a good idea for Sister to refuse them."

"Didn't mother just say that being in public is always immoral? Besides, I have never had any contact with these people. If my sister feels that it is inappropriate, she can go on their behalf."

Su Wan was stunned. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. These posts clearly invited Ye Qingluo, so why would she go?

Maybe there would be rumors that he deliberately snatched Ye Qingluo's post and wanted to replace him.

Even if she had this idea, she couldn't show it at this time.

Old Madam Chu's face darkened as she listened to Ye Qingluo responding with what she had just said.

"Qingluo, what I just said was only about other things. As the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, it is also a good thing for you to interact more with these ladies from aristocratic families."

Seeing that Old Madam Chu and Su Wan didn't gain any advantage, Ye Qingluo felt much better.

"That's what mother said. Let's do it next time."

"you……"

Old Madam Chu looked at Ye Qingluo. She had just received five thousand silver taels, so it was naturally not appropriate for her to say anything harsh now.

"Mother, is there anything else you called me here for? If not, I will take my leave now."

Madam Chu raised her hand and urged with an out-of-sight-out-of-mind look, "Let's go."

"Wan'er, you go back too. I need to rest."

After the two responded, Ye Qingluo and Su Wan left Old Madam Chu's yard one after another.

"Ye Qingluo, are you very proud?"

After walking for a distance, Su Wan, who had been following Ye Qingluo, suddenly said.

Ye Qingluo stopped and looked over there with a smile.

"Shouldn't you be the one who is so proud? First you tampered with the tea, then you tried to trick the housekeeper, and now you want to use my mother to get me to take out the money." Ye Qingluo directly exposed Su Wan's plan and said, "It's a pity that your tricks are not very clever."

"Su Wan, it must be unpleasant to reap what you sow."

Su Wan was stunned by Ye Qingluo's words and looked at her in disbelief. "So, you know all this?"

"So you did everything that happened on purpose?"

Seeing that there was no one around, Su Wan asked angrily.

Ye Qingluo raised his eyebrows, "Since my sister is so interested in making so many scenes, I have to cooperate with her."

"Ye Qingluo, don't think that you can change your mother's opinion of you by spending five thousand taels. The Marquis has long been fed up with you. You won't be so proud for long!"

Su Wan said to Ye Qingluo viciously, "It won't be long before you are kicked out of the Marquis' Mansion."

She is the only woman around the Marquis.

Ye Qingluo disagreed, "In that case, I can wait."

"Sister, you better do your best."

Su Wan almost went crazy after hearing this. She found that no matter what she said, Ye Qingluo could always act calm and composed.

This was also the case with Chu Beiyu. It was as if, to her, no matter what happened in this mansion, it had nothing to do with her.

Seeing Su Wan leaving in anger after being defeated by him, Ye Qingluo sighed, "She can show her happiness on her face. This is all Su Wan is capable of."

"Madam, I feel that the Second Madam has suffered a loss this time, and she will definitely think of some sinister tricks. You must be careful."

"I'm not worried about Su Wan, but the people behind her..."

Thinking of the situation in the Shangshu Mansion, Ye Qingluo was depressed. She still had to find out about Ningxiang Powder as soon as possible. Only by knowing that could she know who had put the Gu in Ye Yuanshan's body.

But the next day, when she just arrived at Huichun Hall, she saw Li Er handing her a letter.

"Madam, this invitation was sent by the Prime Minister's wife. She said that the young master's first birthday party will be held in the mansion in two days, and she would like to invite you to go."

Ye Qingluo had seen these posts when she was in the mansion. The banquet was nothing more than a group of ladies from aristocratic families gathering together to talk about some boring gossip.

If she has this much time, it would be better for her to go into the space and get more pills.

What she didn't expect was that it was not enough to send these people to the mansion, and Huichun Hall was not missed either. She didn't know how things were with Caiyue.

“Just leave the post there.”

Ye Qingluo took a look and didn't show any intention of reaching out to take it. Li Er also understood what he meant. When he was about to put it down, he seemed to think of something.

"By the way, the maid that Madam sent also mentioned something about incense, saying that everything was written on the post."
