"If the Marquis came here for the beauty serum, I'm afraid he will be disappointed this time."

"What do you mean?" Chu Beiyu asked her angrily with a gloomy face.

"The beauty serum was sold out just two days ago. If you want to look elsewhere, my Lord."

"No...no more?"

Chu Beiyu's expression changed when he heard this, and he was obviously shocked by the result.

After Su Wan came in, the ministers in the court avoided him as much as possible. However, during this period of time, she changed her behavior and mentioned the beauty serum in front of him.

It was for this reason that he learned about the special nature of the beauty serums. If he could give them to these ministers as a favor, they would definitely be of use to him in the future.

But Ye Qingluo said that the beauty serum was gone? This happened at a really bad time.

Su Wan bit her lip. Perhaps because of Chu Beiyu's presence, she felt more confident when facing Ye Qingluo.

"My Lord, today the Imperial Concubine asked me for beauty serum. After careful investigation, I found out that all this was caused by what my sister said to the Imperial Concubine."

Su Wan lowered her eyes, covered her chest with her hands, and was very sad. "I know that my sister has never liked me, but I didn't expect her to use such a trick."

"If I can't produce the things, I'm afraid that the queen will not only blame me, but also the Marquis and the entire Marquis' Mansion will be implicated."

"Is there anything else going on?"

When Chu Beiyu heard that the matter would affect him, and saw Su Wan's pitiful appearance, he felt distressed and his dissatisfaction with Ye Qingluo increased.

Ye Qingluo didn't have time to watch the two of them being affectionate with each other, and told the people around him to go about their own business.

"My Lord, I thought that since the beauty serum came from Huichun Hall, it was such a special thing that someone in the hall would definitely hide a few bottles. Why don't you have someone search it so that we can find out whether what my sister said about selling out is true?"

Su Wan lowered her voice and suggested to Chu Beiyu that since she was here, she must not make this trip in vain.

Especially the beauty serum, you must find a way to get it!

Chu Beiyu nodded, gladly accepted the matter, and winked at the guards he brought with him.

"Search for me. I must find the beauty serum today!"

"Yes!" The guards received the order and scattered around the various corners of Huichun Hall. Li Er looked at the situation and said to Ye Qingluo hurriedly, "Madam, what should we do now?"

There were still people receiving treatment or waiting to get medicine in the clinic. When these guards appeared, they were all scared away.

Ye Qingluo frowned. It was obviously beyond her expectations that Chu Beiyu would bring so many people to search.

"Li Er, are you sure the beauty serum is gone?"

"Yes."

After receiving the answer, Ye Qingluo hummed lightly, looked around, and ordered, "You stabilize the other people in Huichun Hall, and let me handle the matter with the Marquis."

Ye Qingluo narrowed her eyes and walked towards Chu Beiyu and Su Wan. Originally, she didn't want to pay attention to these two people, but she was always restless and wanted to show off.

In that case, don't blame her for being rude!

Seeing Ye Qingluo coming, Su Wan shrank back, held onto Chu Beiyu's arm, and looked frightened.

"My Lord, my sister has come out. It's not a good idea to send people to search. After all, Huichun Hall belongs to my sister."

Chu Beiyu was a little hesitant at first. After all, the plaque of Huichuntang was bestowed by the emperor. But after Su Wan's words, and Ye Qingluo's behavior of ignoring him just now, he was filled with anger.

When Ye Qingluo walked in front of him, he said in a strong voice, "What's wrong with that!"

"Huichun Hall is the property of the Marquis' Mansion. I just sent people to search it. No matter who comes today, I can't say anything more!"

"Ye Qingluo, if you know what's best for you, hand over your things. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After hearing this, Ye Qingluo looked at Chu Beiyu as if he was a fool.

"My Lord, is it possible that what I just said was not clear enough, or that your hearing is poor?"

"If it's the former, I don't mind repeating my words, but if it's the latter, this inability to hear is a serious matter. My Lord, you should find a doctor to treat it when you have time, so as not to miss important matters."

"Sister, do you dare to curse the Marquis?" Su Wan raised doubts in a sharp voice.

"That's what you said."

Ye Qingluo sneered and said to Chu Beiyu word by word, "Let your people withdraw from Huichun Hall now!"

Chu Beiyu was already very annoyed, and seeing Ye Qingluo dare to speak like that in front of everyone, he shouted angrily, "Ye Qingluo! You are a woman, what qualifications do you have to speak to me like that!"

"Don't you understand that a woman's husband is her heaven?"

Ye Qingluo looked at them with disdain, and said, "I really don't understand these great principles."

"My Lord, do you want to explain?"

Ye Qingluo met Chu Beiyu's murderous gaze without any fear.

"Also, Huichuntang is an asset I brought from my mother's family. It has nothing to do with the Marquis' Mansion!"

"My Lord, you are still confused about some things!"

"Hey, this contains medicine for wounds, not beauty serum."

There were chaotic quarrels all around, but Chu Beiyu had no intention of stopping. He just flicked his sleeves and said heavily, "Ye Qingluo, no matter what you say today, I will definitely search Huichun Hall!"

"What are you waiting for! Continue to search carefully for me!"

Seeing these people stop, Chu Beiyu ordered. Su Wan's face was full of pride. When passing by Ye Qingluo, she whispered, "Sister, you are in the Marquis' Mansion, why do you have to go against the Marquis? You won't have a good life if you do that."

Then she returned to Chu Beiyu's side and pointed in the direction behind, "My Lord, there seems to be a yard in the back. Why don't we go there and take a look?"

After this commotion, most of the people in Huichun Hall were driven out, and some of them watched the situation outside.

Ye Qingluo frowned, feeling strange about the current situation.

It stands to reason that Chu Beiyu is a person who values his reputation the most, but he suddenly brought so many people to search. This may be due to Su Wan's instigation, but there must be other reasons besides this.

"Madam, why don't I go and get the government officials here? If this continues, Huichun Hall will be searched beyond repair."

Li Er, who was no match for these guards, ran to Ye Qingluo, very anxious.

Although Ye Qingluo was angry, he was afraid that even if government officials came, it would not have much effect, especially the people watching outside. They did not seem to be there to watch, but rather seemed to be here for the beauty serum.

Instead of going through the trouble of explaining, it would be better to let Chu Beiyu send someone to make a fuss to put an end to some of the evil thoughts that people are trying to have.

"Let them search!"

When Ye Qingluo was replying, Chu Beiyu was just coming out of the backyard with Su Wan. He was also stunned when he heard the order.

Su Wan was also full of confusion. She thought there was something behind Huichun Hall, but it turned out to be a few dilapidated courtyards.

But given his character, he can't tolerate anyone causing trouble on his territory. Why is he acting so out of character today?
