"Madam, after all, Wangyue Restaurant is your property. If it weren't for the old lady using the name of a relative,

Whenever Cuizhu thought of this, she felt sorry for her wife, especially since she had heard that the so-called Young Master Ximen was a bully of men and women.

If something really happens, it will be my wife's reputation that will be damaged.

"How about I go to the Dali Temple tomorrow and quietly tell the Dali Temple Lord about this matter and ask if he can return the restaurant to me?"

Cuizhu suggested.

Ye Qingluo, however, had a different opinion on this, and asked Cuizhu, "Then think about it, when the butler was driven back from Wangyue Restaurant today, why did the Marquis prefer to be angry and never thought of reporting to the police?"

"This"

Cuizhu paused, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

"Although the restaurant is under my name, I did not immediately refuse when the old lady handed it over to me."

"Before Ximen Ao made any specific serious mistakes, his business in the past three years was real."

Ye Qingluo explained that this was why she started from Huichuntang from the beginning.

But now it seems that even if Chu Beiyu stepped forward, he was unable to make Old Madam Chu give in.

The relationship here is probably not the least bit complicated.

Even if people from the Dali Temple stepped in, they might not be able to take charge of the affairs of the Marquis's mansion.

She still needs to think carefully about this.

Seeing Cuizhu frowning, Ye Qingluo comforted her, "Don't worry, it's ours and no one can take it away from us."

Not everyone can take her things.

Cuizhu was about to respond when she heard footsteps outside the yard.

"Ma'am, are you in there?"

Ye Qingluo and Cuizhu looked at each other, then stood up and walked out. Seeing that it was a maid who came over, they asked in a light tone, "What's the matter?"

The maid first bowed to Ye Qingluo and said, "Madam, someone from the palace just said that the Queen will hold a flower viewing banquet in the Imperial Garden tomorrow, and she specially invites you to go with her."

"Here is the post, please take a look."

Cuizhu took the invitation from the maid and asked after she left, "Madam, it's a great thing that the Queen invited you, why do you look unhappy at all?"

In the past, only ladies from aristocratic families and noble ladies in the capital were invited by the Empress to the flower-viewing banquet.

But the post that was delivered by someone specially sent is still a unique one.

In the original owner's memory, there were several times when he went to the palace to attend banquets, but the situation was completely different between then and now.

Her father, the general who defended the country, was demoted, and when news came out that Chu Beiyu was going to marry a concubine, those who were originally on good terms with the original owner wanted to stay away from her.

I think the queen in the palace is also well aware of this, so why would she send someone to deliver the invitation at this time?

I'm afraid there's something fishy about this.

"lady?"

Seeing that Ye Qingluo was slow to speak, Cuizhu became even more worried.

Ye Qingluo came back to his senses and said to Cuizhu, "Put away the invitation. Since the Queen has invited you to the banquet, come with me tomorrow."

No matter how strange the situation is, retreating is not her style.

It turns out that today is the day that Chu Beiyu married Su Wan.

The Queen's flower-viewing banquet was chosen today, I don't know if it was a coincidence or if there was some other meaning behind it.

After dressing up, Ye Qingluo and Cui'er got on the carriage to the palace.

As soon as the carriage arrived at the palace gate, there were exclamations all around.

When Ye Qingluo got off the carriage, he saw several women in luxurious clothes standing there, looking at him with strange eyes.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is the carriage of the Pingyuan Marquis's mansion. Isn't this the wife of the Pingyuan Marquis?"

"What Madam? I heard that Pingyuan Hou is going to marry the county lady soon. It's not certain whether she can keep the position of the mistress."

"But isn't today the Queen's flower-viewing banquet? How come she's here? I remember she wasn't on the list."

"lady."

Seeing these noble ladies talking about their master like this, Cuizhu wanted to step forward to debate, but was stopped by Ye Qingluo.

"Don't pay attention to it. What they say about her has nothing to do with us."

Ye Qingluo glanced at these people coldly, and the noble lady who was talking enthusiastically suddenly fell silent. Especially under her cold gaze, they seemed to have no manners at all.

When seeing the maidservant beside Ye Qingluo holding out the invitation, one of them recognized it and exclaimed, "The pattern on the invitation looks like it was sent by the Queen herself."

"Could it be that the reason why the Lady of Pingyuan Marquis appeared here was because of the Queen's intention?"

Amidst these exclamations, Ye Qingluo left with Cuizhu. If the Queen had not sent someone to the house, she would have had no interest in the banquet.

Just because she's here doesn't mean she's easy to mess with.

"Sister, please stay."

Just as Ye Qingluo was about to walk towards the Imperial Garden, he heard a female voice behind him.

Ye Qingluo stopped and saw that the man had come to her.

Su Wan.

"I wonder what's the matter, County Lord?"

Su Wan had a smile on her face. Seeing someone looking at her, she pretended to be friendly and wanted to go forward and take her hand.

"I didn't know that my sister would also come to the banquet today, otherwise I would have come to the Marquis' Mansion early and come with my sister."

When Su Wan was about to hold her arm, Ye Qingluo took a step back and said in a cold tone, "County Lady, as far as I know, the Marquis' Mansion and the Shangshu Mansion are not on the same route, so you don't have to go through so much trouble."

"Although you are the Marquis's second wife, before you enter the house, your status is still different. I cannot bear the title of sister."

Su Wan froze in place, her face pale. She took the initiative to step forward and show her goodwill. Ye Qingluo, an abandoned woman who was about to be hated by her husband, dared to embarrass her.

A burst of sneer came from not far away, and a woman in a sky blue dress followed by two maids walked towards this side.

"Sister, you can't even tell the difference between relatives and strangers after going out. But you are so eager to help, but the other party doesn't seem to appreciate it."

When Ye Qingluo heard the other party call Su Wan "sister", he knew the other party's identity.

It's just that she's not interested in these things.

"Cuizhu, let's go."

Ye Qingluo said.

"Miss, the lady of the Marquis's Mansion is too disrespectful to you." said the maid who followed Su Yun.

Su Yun looked at Ye Qingluo's departing back without any anger. "After all, Ye Qingluo was the legitimate daughter of the general's mansion before she got married. Even though the general was demoted, she is still the mistress of the marquis' mansion. It's not surprising that she is a little arrogant."

Especially what Ye Qingluo had just said to Su Wan, she wanted to applaud when she heard it.

An illegitimate daughter who came from nowhere, who had no idea how lucky she was to have saved the Marquis, and who got the title of a county lady, wanted to suppress her, the legitimate daughter.

Even if I were to marry into a marquis's mansion, so what? A second wife sounds nice, but she's still a concubine!
