The mistress of a marquis's family divorced her husband and married someone else: the scumbag
Chapter 165 Token Clues
After today's morning court session ended, the Regent specifically called him to stop at the palace gate, with so many colleagues present.
When he heard the stories about the assassin from the Regent's mouth, he was scared out of his wits.
Even if it's just a suggestion, those colleagues are all smart and can guess the general idea after a little thought.
If he had known that His Highness was also there, he would never have gotten involved.
Su Wan was frightened by this scolding, "Father, I don't know how Ye Qingluo became the regent's savior."
"But has the assassin's plan been discovered?"
"That may not be the case. Your father is the current minister after all. Even if the regent has doubts, he will not make it known to everyone just for Huichun Hall."
"But now that you have married into the Marquis's mansion as you wished, and become the Marquis Pingyuan's second wife, do you have any clues to what I asked you to find?"
"Is that the token Father is talking about?"
Seeing Su Wan's hesitation, Minister Su snorted coldly, "Su Wan, don't tell me you don't have any clues!"
"Father, Ye Qingluo is insidious and cunning, and he has repeatedly asked me about the military camp. I am afraid he has doubts about the general who guards the country. Although I am the Marquis's second wife, my foundation is still shallow and I can only take the long view."
"Tell me, what happened this time?"
……
After dealing with the matters of Huichuntang, Ye Qingluo brought Cuizhu to Wangyue Restaurant.
It's been a long time since she last saw Caiyue, and she doesn't know how she is doing now.
Huichuntang and the restaurant were not far away, so Ye Qingluo planned to walk there.
When we were only an alley away from the restaurant, we saw long queues forming around it.
"Ma'am, you see, all the people in line are holding a piece of paper in their hands."
Cuizhu moved closer and finally saw the number clearly. "It's fifty."
"Then the number behind is fifty-one, right?"
The passerby who had just received the number saw Cuizhu approaching and said warily, "What are you looking at? If you want the number, go get it yourself."
"Auntie, you mean to say that this restaurant requires these numbers to enter?"
"Of course. I waited a long time to get this number. Although the business of Wangyue Restaurant is good, the food is absolutely amazing. The most important thing is that it makes people feel at ease."
The woman's face was full of amazement when she mentioned the restaurant.
"Madam, it seems that we won't be able to enter the restaurant for a while."
Cuizhu looked at the long queue and felt a little disappointed.
"You don't have to enter the restaurant from here."
Cuizhu's eyes lit up, "Madam, you are talking about..."
Ye Qingluo nodded, "Let's go."
She had only casually mentioned the matter of the number plate at first, but she had never expected that Caiyue could put it into practice.
It's really amazing.
Entering from the back door is the backyard of the restaurant, which is specially used for rest. However, as soon as you enter the backyard, there are two burly men blocking the way.
"Who are you and why do you know the entrance to the back door of the restaurant?"
Cuizhu stood in front of Ye Qingluo. She had seen all the people in the restaurant before and didn't remember these two people.
"Madam is a stranger."
"What's all the fussing about?"
Before Ye Qingluo and Cuizhu could speak, another person came behind the two strong men. After seeing the man's face clearly, Cuizhu was delighted.
"Adong."
"Cuizhu?" Adong opened his eyes wide and trotted forward. When he saw Ye Qingluo, he was extremely nervous.
"Boss, we saw them entering through the back door, which was extremely suspicious, so we stopped them."
The two strong men told what happened and were scolded by Adong.
"What's suspicious? I asked you to guard the place, but how come you don't even recognize the lady?"
The new recruits had clearly been shown the lady’s portrait before.
"You are the madam?"
The two strong men opened their eyes wide, Xingqing just stopped them but did not take any action.
"Madam, the restaurant is short of staff recently, so Shopkeeper Caiyue asked me to recruit more people. Although I have shown them your portrait, I don't know why this kind of thing still happened."
"I will definitely teach them a lesson later."
"It doesn't matter."
"It's normal for these people to stop Cuizhu and me without knowing our identities, so how can we teach them a lesson?"
"Where's Caiyue?"
"Shopkeeper Caiyue is settling accounts now. Do you need me to call her over?"
A Dong asked carefully, although this restaurant is managed by Caiyue, everyone knows that Ye Qingluo is the primary and secondary, and this is an existence that no one can compare to.
"No need, I will go there myself. As for you, Cuizhu, you can make your own arrangements."
In this matter, Ye Qingluo did not let Cuizhu follow.
"Adong, these people are not the guards you hired. Why do they call you boss?"
After hearing what Cuizhu said, Adong scratched his head embarrassedly, looking very fierce to outsiders.
Ye Qingluo came to the room where Caiyue was. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Caiyue sitting on a chair. In front of her was a pile of thick account books. She was writing something in one hand and fiddling with an abacus with the other hand. She was very busy.
Even when he heard someone coming in, he didn't look up. "Adong, put these account books on the cabinet over there for me."
Ye Qingluo came to Caiyue and took the account book as she said.
Caiyue then realized something was wrong. She raised her head, stood up suddenly, and the abacus fell to the ground.
"Ma'am, you are finally here!"
"I haven't seen you for a while, but you have become more calm." Ye Qingluo picked up the abacus on the ground and looked at the accounts kept by Caiyue with deep admiration in his eyes.
It must be said that Caiyue is talented in this area. With so many account books, it would make people dizzy just looking at them, but she can calculate them one by one without any mistakes.
"Ma'am, you are too kind. This is all I can do."
"Oh, right, these account books and the silver. Madam, do you know that since the introduction of the new dishes, the restaurant's business and profits have increased several times."
"To prevent confusion, I used number plates."
Caiyue excitedly told Ye Qingluo about what had happened in the restaurant during this period.
"You did very well."
"I feel very relieved that you are in charge of this restaurant. As for the money, just keep it."
Regardless of whether the restaurant is profitable or loss-making, it needs savings to deal with emergencies, not to mention that this income was earned by Caiyue's hard work.
She has no shortage of money.
"Madam, I will always remember your trust in me, and I will never forget it..."
"It's enough for you to say this. There's no need to say these."
Ye Qingluo was helpless. This Caiyue was very similar to Cuizhu in some ways, and she kept making these oaths.
Caiyue blushed, and as if she had thought of something, she said nervously, "Madam, I heard about the assassination attack on Huichun Hall two days ago. Are you injured?"
