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

"But the Marquis just returned from a victory, so he shouldn't be unable to come up with 40,000 taels..."

Li Er muttered, and when he noticed Ye Qingluo, he quickly changed his words and bowed his body and said, "I made a mistake and shouldn't have talked about the Marquis. I hope Madam will forgive me."

"It doesn't matter."

Ye Qingluo didn't care too much about it. Seeing how Chu Beiyu had been "jumping up and down" in front of her these past few days, she was afraid that not only was he unable to come up with the dowry for marriage, he also didn't have much left.

"You just said that Zhong Huai spoke ill of me in front of the Marquis, right?"

"Yes."

Li Er replied that Zhong Huai relied on the support of the old lady and the marquis and looked down on everyone.

Now he also has a backer, and it seems that his wife is even more powerful than the old lady and the marquis.

"Madam, do you need me to call Shopkeeper Zhong over?"

"No need."

Ye Qingluo replied that she had seen the consequences of driving Zhong Huai out before, and since the old lady and Chu Beiyu wanted to protect her, she might as well take advantage of this and let these people "make up" all the silver that was missing from the clinic.

In this way, there will be a good show to watch.

"Go and send the account book of losses to the Dali Temple now, and tell them that the clinic was robbed. Ask them to come to the Marquis' Mansion in an hour."

"Don't alert anyone about this matter. Just keep it to yourself."

Li Er realized that something big was going to happen, so he cupped his hands and responded immediately.

After waiting for so long, is Madam finally going to take action against the evil Manager Zhong?

After explaining all this, Ye Qingluo was ready to return home. She wanted to see if Old Madam Chu and Chu Beiyu could still remain faithful to each other in the face of these incomplete accounts.

As soon as she returned to the yard, Cuizhu opened the door a little, and was overjoyed until she saw that the person coming back was her wife.

"Ma'am, you are finally back!"

Seeing Cuizhu's anxious yet happy expression, Ye Qingluo asked, "What happened?"

"Just now, the guards around the Marquis came and asked Madam to come over, but I refused."

Ye Qingluo raised an eyebrow, "Since Chu Beiyu sent someone here, but he hasn't seen me, would he be willing to go back like this?"

Ever since Chu Beiyu returned from the victorious battle, the people around him have all become arrogant and proud.

"I was unwilling at first, but didn't you say that I shouldn't be tolerant in the future? I used too much force and knocked the man down, and then he left in disgrace."

Cuizhu felt a little embarrassed as she spoke, and was afraid that her wife would misunderstand her, so she added, "But don't worry, ma'am, the man is not injured."

She didn't want to cause trouble for her wife, so she was very prudent in her actions.

"well done."

Ye Qingluo was praising him, when at this moment Chu Beiyu's angry rebuke came from not far away.

"Ye Qingluo, you vicious woman, I knew you had bad intentions. You even dared to hurt my people!"

Chu Beiyu's face was gloomy, his eyes were filled with anger, and he wished he could eat Ye Qingluo.

Also coming with her were Old Madam Chu and Su Wan, the woman who was about to become his second wife.

Su Wan supported Old Madam Chu and nodded signally when she saw her eyes looking at her.

"My Lord, you are so angry right after you arrive. Even if you are unhappy about something outside, you shouldn't bring it to the inner house."

Ye Qingluo sighed, remaining calm under Chu Beiyu's cold gaze.

"If outsiders knew about this, they would think you are a coward, Lord Marquis."

"Ye Qingluo!"

Chu Beiyu's face flushed. He brought a lot of people with him on this trip, and he was determined to teach this vicious woman a lesson.

But she actually dared to say that she was a coward in front of so many people!

Ever since returning to the capital, nothing related to Ye Qingluo has gone smoothly!

"Sister, the Marquis is your husband after all. How can you talk to him like this?"

Su Wan's soft voice sounded, and the gentleness in her tone made people feel even more favorable towards her.

Madam Chu was a little more satisfied with Su Wan's protection, and said to Ye Qingluo with an unhappy look, "Ye, you are so brave!"

"Bei Yu is your husband, are you trying to rebel against the heaven?"

The people around looked at Ye Qingluo with strange eyes, all shocked by the words of the marquis' wife.

Ye Qingluo sneered. She was not afraid of any gossip.

"Mother, it was the Marquis who was rude from the beginning. How come it is my fault?"

"Besides, what I just said was just a casual remark. You and Miss Su are so excited. Don't you also think that the Marquis's behavior is cowardly?"

Madam Chu looked unhappy, but Su Wan was panicked.

"Sister, I didn't mean anything. The Marquis is a man of integrity. If you saw the Marquis killing enemies on the battlefield, you would definitely not say that." After Su Wan said this, she looked at Chu Beiyu with admiration in her eyes.

Chu Beiyu was obviously very pleased with Su Wan's words, and looked at Ye Qingluo with disgust in his eyes.

"Wan'er, you don't have to say too much to this vicious woman. There are some things she won't understand even if she knows!"

"And Ye Qingluo, let me tell you that Wan'er is not just any girl now. She is the daughter of the Shangshu Lord, and she is also the county lady personally appointed by the emperor!"

"You'd better be polite to her next time you see her!"

Ye Qingluo chuckled and responded to Chu Beiyu's words, "The Marquis is right. We should be more polite to the county lady. The county lady's status is so different, it's a pity to just be her co-wife!"

"How about I give up the position of mistress as well?"

"Madam..." Cuizhu was a little anxious. These people obviously came with bad intentions. If Madam took the initiative to give up her seat, wouldn't that be giving them an easy advantage?

Ye Qingluo gave her a look that urged her to stay calm.

Su Wan's eyes lit up, and she was obviously moved by the position of mistress proposed by Ye Qingluo. However, since Old Madam Chu and Chu Beiyu were present, she couldn't show it too much.

"Sister, your words are too serious. I have never thought about the position of mistress. The Marquis and I have a lot in common. I just want to be closer to him."

Su Wan pretended to be considerate, and Old Madam Chu patted the back of her hand, full of praise, "What a good child."

"Tsk..."

"My Lord, you brought so many people here just to discuss whether it's a cowardly thing or not?"

Ye Qingluo was calm and composed, as if nothing could cause her to react too much.

"Ye!" Old Madam Chu said angrily, and Su Wan kept comforting the people around him.

"Sister, please don't be angry with the old lady. She has just gotten better. If anything happens to her, I'm afraid..."

"But I think mother is doing very well. She looks rosy and doesn't look sick at all."

"But my Lord..."

"As a son, you are indifferent here, and you even bring people here to quarrel with me. Do you want to deliberately provoke your mother and cause her old illness to relapse?"

Chu Beiyu's face was terribly gloomy, and he glanced in the direction of Su Wan and Old Madam Chu.

Old Madam Chu originally wanted to use the illness to cause trouble for Ye Qingluo, but she didn't expect that she almost made Chu Beiyu bear the label of "unfilial".
