"Is it the Regent... His Royal Highness?"

Looking up, I saw a man in black clothes walking in. He glanced coldly at the people present. When his eyes fell on Chu Beiyu, his beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. It was obvious that just a look was enough to make people shudder.

"Marquis Pingyuan, do you admit your guilt?"

Hearing that cold and low voice, Chu Beiyu staggered to his feet and shuddered all over when he looked at that person. However, with so many people watching, he, a dignified marquis, could not lose his prestige.

"Your Highness, Regent, I wonder what crime I have committed?"

Another palm strike, and Chu Beiyu flew straight out. He was kneeling on one knee, spitting blood onto the ground, looking extremely miserable.

"Doctor Ye... is my savior. Your disrespect for him is a crime, and searching Huichun Hall without my permission is a crime."

"You deserve these two palms."

Su Wan opened her eyes wide and her hands were shaking. No wonder this prince appeared here.

It turns out that this bitch Ye Qingluo has already found a backer and has become the benefactor of the Regent.

This is a great honor!

How could such a good thing fall into Ye Qingluo's hands? Su Wan was jealous to the point of madness, but there was nothing she could do.

She could ignore Ye Qingluo, but not the Regent. Even if her father, Minister Su, was present, he would probably have no choice but to obey him.

Chu Beiyu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and watched Ye Beimo walk to Ye Qingluo.

The way this prince looked at Ye Qingluo made him feel a sense of crisis, as if something of his was being taken away.

When did this woman Ye Qingluo get in touch with the Regent behind my back?

"Your Highness, even if my wife is your savior, Huichun Hall still belongs to the Marquis's Mansion."

"Marquis Pingyuan is really shameless! He actually regards Doctor Ye's property as his own. It seems that the rumors about him being a gigolo are true."

"Just a few days ago, the deed to Huichun Hall came into my hands. Doctor Ye, Li Er, and the people present are just taking care of it on my behalf."

"Why, Marquis Pingyuan, do you want to make the decision for me?"

Chu Beiyu's pupils shrank and he looked at Ye Qingluo first.

Wasn’t Huichuntang Ye Qingluo’s dowry? How come the deed ended up in the hands of the Regent?

The reason why he dared to bring people to Huichun Hall to search was simply because he felt that even if the matter got out of hand, it would still be a family matter in front of outsiders. But this is obviously not the case now.

Ye Qingluo was also confused, but when he met Ye Beimo's gaze, he suddenly understood.

Since Ye Beimo wanted to get involved, there was no reason for her to refuse.

It’s time to make that bastard Chu Beiyu suffer!

Chu Beiyu struggled to get up from the ground. After being hit by two palms in succession, he felt that all his internal organs were severely damaged.

He took a deep breath and asked Ye Qingluo, "Madam, is what His Royal Highness the Regent said true?"

Ye Qingluo nodded, "My Lord, didn't His Royal Highness the Regent make his words very clear?"

"Some time ago, Huichuntang had a problem with its money. Thanks to your highness's help, I will give you this land deed in return."

"That means that besides me, Your Highness also has a share in Huichun Hall."

"Why...why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Chu Beiyu's face turned pale. If he knew that the Regent's share was also among the items, he would not have sent people to search the place in such a high-profile manner.

I’m afraid this vicious woman did it on purpose!

Ye Qingluo blinked and said helplessly, "The Marquis didn't ask either."

"But Huichun Hall has become like this, and the Marquis has damaged a lot of medicinal materials just now. If you are willing to compensate, perhaps I, your lifesaver, can ask Your Highness for some leniency."

"compensation……"

Chu Beiyu's back teeth were about to break. What else could Ye Qingluo do except asking him for money?

However, this prince not only controls most of the power in the court, but also represents the emperor. Given his status as Marquis Pingyuan, he would only suffer heavy losses if he went against him.

He came in front of Ye Beimo and lowered his head, "I didn't know that Your Highness had a share in Huichun Hall. I beg Your Highness the Regent to forgive me."

"This Marquis is willing to compensate Huichun Hall for today's losses, as well as the loss of medicinal materials."

"Doctor Ye, how much compensation do you think should be paid?"

Ye Qingluo raised the corners of his lips, with a cunning look in his eyes, "Your Highness, I think considering that the Marquis doesn't know about it, ten thousand taels will be fine."

"Ten thousand taels!"

Chu Beiyu was dumbfounded, and Su Wan almost cried out, "Sister Ye... these herbs only look like they are worth a few hundred taels, why would they cost ten thousand taels?"

"Isn't this too much?"

Even though a bottle of that beauty serum costs less than 10,000 taels, Ye Qingluo is really relying on someone's support to bid recklessly.

"This is all thanks to you, sister."

"I?"

As Ye Qingluo spoke, Chu Beiyu also looked over.

Su Wan's heart skipped a beat, and she felt vaguely scared. "Sister, what do you mean by that? I didn't do anything during this process."

"Wasn't it you who rushed to Huichun Hall and said that I still had beauty serum, which caused the Marquis to misunderstand?"

"Sister, you have caused great harm to the Marquis."

Su Wan froze in place. She was trying to fan the flames, but what did that have to do with her?

Chu Beiyu frowned and looked at Su Wan with dissatisfaction.

Ye Qingluo was right. If it weren’t for Su Wan, he might not have searched directly.

Su Wan should be the one to compensate for the ten thousand taels.

"Wan'er, why don't you apologize!"

Chu Beiyu scolded Su Wan with a mixture of displeasure.

Su Wan was completely dumbfounded. Just now Chu Beiyu was insisting on not letting her apologize, but how come his attitude changed in less than half an hour?

But she didn't dare to let Chu Beiyu be dissatisfied with her, so she could only bite the bullet and walk in front of Ye Qingluo.

"Sister, I was wrong before, please forgive me."

"As long as the compensation is in place, it's fine."

"My Lord, I wonder who between you and Su Wan will give me the ten thousand taels?"

"The Regent is waiting."

"Ye Qingluo, can't you talk to the Regent and ask him to be more flexible?"

"Don't forget that you are still a member of the Marquis' Mansion!"

Chu Beiyu pulled Ye Qingluo aside and spoke in a low voice.

"It is precisely because I am from the Marquis' Mansion that it is even more difficult to speak. The Marquis must know the identity of this prince. It can be solved with silver. There is no benefit in making a big fuss."

"My Lord, do you think so?"

Chu Beiyu took a deep breath. He felt angry and helpless when facing Ye Qingluo. He had to admit that she was right.

If the matter gets out of hand, it will only do harm to him!

"In this case, Lord Marquis should have a good discussion with my sister."

Ye Beimo looked at the two figures standing together, his eyes dimmed a little, and a cold and murderous aura lingered around him.

Chu Beiyu, sensing danger, looked up and was startled, so he had to look at Su Wan.

"Wan'er, this disaster was caused by you. Ten thousand taels is a lesson for you."

Ye Qingluo chuckled. She knew this bastard would do this.

"My Lord, do you mean that I should pay for the ten thousand taels?"
