"Several...almost all."

Xiaoju stuttered, "Ever since the Second Madam took over as the housekeeper, she has replaced all the maids and attendants in the mansion. Even Xiaolian who is beside the old lady is the Second Madam's person."

"What about the assassin?"

"Is the assassin who attacked Huichuntang that day related to Su Wan?"

Xiaoju nodded, "Yes, because our indentures are in the hands of the Second Madam, and because I once helped the Second Madam, neither the Second Madam nor Qiao'er avoided many news."

"I think that's why Qiao'er wants to get rid of her as soon as possible."

"Madam, I have told you everything I know. Please give me a chance to live."

"I will keep my promise, of course."

"Thank you very much, ma'am."

Xiaoju seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, her eyes were full of gratitude, and she closed her eyes again as soon as she finished speaking.

"Madam, what's wrong with her..." Looking at Xiaoju who fainted again, Li Er was puzzled. Judging from her pulse, the poison had been eliminated and she should be fine.

"Although the poison has been removed, she still suffered a heavy blow. Let her have a good sleep and she will be fine when she wakes up."

"Li Er, find a place to settle this person down. He will be of great use in the future."

Ye Qingluo instructed the people around her that the appearance of the imitation products and Wang Jing's unclear intentions in Huichun Hall had made her realize that danger was coming.

This Xiaoju may one day become the key witness to solve these mysteries.

The more clues you have, the more helpful it will be in dealing with emergencies.

"Madam, I have a courtyard outside the city. Why don't we place her there first?" Li Er suggested. "Afterwards, I will send a few trustworthy people to guard the courtyard to ensure Xiaoju's safety."

"The former is feasible, but the latter..." Ye Qingluo was worried, "If Huichuntang is missing someone, it will definitely attract attention. Li Er, don't forget that Wang Jing is still there."

"I'll leave the matter of adding more people to Caiyue's affairs, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Yes."

Speaking of Wang Jing, Li Er's face was filled with shame. If he had been more cautious at the beginning, or told his wife about the matter, he wouldn't have been on such guard now.

"Send the person to that villa first."

……

In a corner of Huichun Hall.

Wang Jing was trying hard to recall the solution to the mechanism he had seen at that time, but he could not remember some steps. He had heard from people in the hall that if he made a wrong step in this mechanism, he would be trapped in it, and then he would be exposed.

"Look, here comes His Royal Highness the Regent. He must be here to see the lady."

Wang Jing was startled when he heard Xiao Si's whispers around. This place was closest to the inner room, and it would be the end of him if he was discovered.

As soon as I walked out, I saw two figures walking towards me, one in front and one behind.

Yun Zhou, holding a sword, frowned. As soon as he entered Huichun Hall, he noticed that this person was sneaking around. He asked, "Who are you and why are you hiding here?"

Wang Jing was so frightened that he shivered and quickly replied, "I am also from Huichun Hall and I am cleaning here."

"You look unfamiliar." Yun Zhou looked around. At this time, Xiao Si, who was dispensing medicine, saw this scene and helped to solve the situation, "Your Highness the Regent, Guard Yun, this man is called Wang Jing, and he has indeed just arrived at Huichun Hall not long ago."

"Yun Zhou." Ye Beimo glanced at Wang Jing indifferently and signaled Yun Zhou to put away his sword.

"Doctor Ye is now in Huichuntang?"

"Your Highness, the Madam did come here today, but she left an hour ago. Judging from her expression at the time, she must have something important to tell you."

Ye Beimo frowned slightly, hesitating a little at Wang Jing's words, "Important things?"

"Yes, I guess this may be related to the Marquis. In the morning, the Marquis came to Huichun Hall. Madam took him to the backyard and talked for a long time. When he left, the Marquis seemed dissatisfied, and that was when Madam hurried out."

"It must be said that the relationship between the Marquis and his wife is really good..."

"Shut up!"

Yun Zhou interrupted Wang Jing and then looked at Ye Beimo carefully.

The master doesn't care about anything, except Mrs. Ye.

This name seems to have become a reverse scale that does not allow any transgression.

Originally, the master was looking forward to Madam Ye's arrival three days later, but he had never seen her come on her own initiative.

But this little Si named Wang Jing, didn't mention anything else but mentioned Marquis Pingyuan in front of his master.

The corners of Ye Beimo's lips curled up, revealing a slightly sarcastic arc. He seemed nonchalant, but his eyes were so cold that they could send chills down one's spine.

"You said Ye Qingluo took Chu Beiyu's hand and stayed in the backyard for a long time, and then chased him out?"

"Yes...that's it."

Wang Jing didn't dare to look up at Ye Beimo. Although there was some exaggeration in his words, the Madam and the Marquis were not husband and wife, so there was nothing wrong with them having a good relationship.

"Ah……"

Ye Beimo lowered his eyes, feeling even more lost.

"After all, I came at the wrong time."

He thought that Ye Qingluo must have something important to say since she took the initiative to mention it, but who would have thought that because of Chu Beiyu, she actually forgot what she had agreed to do...

If she could chase him out for Chu Beiyu, then what was she to him? Perhaps the deliberate distance she kept from the beginning had already made her position clear.

"Your Highness."

Looking at Ye Beimo leaving Huichuntang, Yun Zhou glared at Wang Jing, "You are so long-winded!"

"Your Highness, I just felt that the young man named Wang Jing was extremely suspicious. What he said is not credible. If Madam Ye is not in Huichun Hall, she must be in Wangyue Restaurant. Why don't you let me go there and take a look?"

Yun Zhou came to the carriage and spoke to the people inside.

"Ah."

After a long time, Ye Beimo's emotionless response came from the carriage.

In an alley not far from the restaurant, a carriage was parked there, and Yun Zhou came out of the restaurant with mixed feelings.

"how?"

"Your Majesty, perhaps Madam Ye was delayed by something important."

"Humph, it seems that what Wang Jing said was not a lie."

Ye Beimo's voice was filled with disappointment, anger, and a hint of barely perceptible jealousy.

What is so good about Chu Beiyu that can make Ye Qingluo like this? It was like this back then, and it is still like this now.

Did she really forget what she promised herself? But...

"Your Highness, Jiang Yuan had an accident in the military camp. Do you need any help?"

"No need, I will go there myself."

Ye Beimo's tone was cold. He was going to the south this time and his return date was uncertain. If something happened to Ye Qingluo, it would be difficult for him to get back in time.

Since Jiang Yuan was entrusted by Ye Yuanshan, he would definitely be able to help Ye Qingluo.

He would never allow anyone to hurt Ye Qingluo in any way while he was away.

If something happened to her, the mere thought of it would make him uncontrollable in his anger.

"Yunzhou, change the route to the military camp."

"Yes."

Yun Zhou sighed in his heart, he knew that his master would never be able to let go of Madam Ye.
