"Madam, I will never forget your kindness. I am willing to stay by your side as a slave in the future to repay your kindness."

Looking at the person on the ground, Ye Qingluo helped him up and said in a light tone, "I have no shortage of people to serve me, and I can't even mention any favors."

"Besides, I have conditions before I help you."

If Caiyue hadn't done these things, she might not have taken direct action.

Even so, Caiyue was still full of gratitude, "Madam, besides collecting evidence, is there anything else I can do?"

Ye Qingluo thought for a moment, "Can you read and write?"

"Yes!" Caiyue replied, "I went to school when I was young and I can read. I also helped the owner of the store to manage the accounts."

"In that case, if you have nowhere to go, come to Huichuntang. We happen to be short of manpower recently."

"Yes! Caiyue thanks Madam."

"It's no use thanking you. How things turn out depends on your own ability."

She never keeps idle people.

Seeing that it was approaching evening, Ye Qingluo did not stay any longer. Before leaving, he told Li Er about Caiyue's matter.

When Li Er heard about Caiyue's experience, he sympathized with her and assured her, "Madam, don't worry, I will definitely do what you asked me to do."

Ye Qingluo nodded and headed towards the Marquis' Mansion. However, just as the carriage stopped, he heard a burst of joy coming from outside.

"Madam, it's the Marquis' carriage. The Marquis is back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Old Madam Chu coming towards him with a cane, and beside her was the county lady Su Wan.

Ye Qingluo narrowed her eyes slightly. She had forgotten that she came back in Chu Beiyu's carriage.

When Old Madam Chu saw the carriage, she probably thought that Chu Beiyu had returned.

Just when Old Madam Chu and Su Wan were filled with joy, they saw the curtain of the carriage being drawn open and Ye Qingluo came out.

Su Wan's expression froze, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared. She looked into the carriage, but did not see Chu Beiyu.

Old Madam Chu's face was gloomy, and she looked displeased when she saw Ye Qingluo.

"Ye, why is it you? Where's Beiyu? Why didn't he come back with you?"

Su Wan also echoed, "Yes, sister, why are you riding in the Marquis' carriage?"

Ye Qingluo glanced at Su Wan coldly, "County Lady, whose carriage I ride in seems to have nothing to do with you."

"Besides, I am the wife of the Marquis. It's just a carriage. What's so strange about it?"

When Su Wan heard the word "Madam", she bit her lower lip and looked angry.

Is this Ye Qingluo reminding her of her current identity?

She is just an abandoned woman, how dare she do that!

"Sister, that's not what I meant. The Marquis was concerned about your treatment, so he came to the palace to ask you."

"I am also worried about the safety of the Marquis..."

Ye Qingluo was disdainful, "The Marquis is a good person, why do you need to worry about him? As for why he knew about the treatment, you, the county lady, are really a gossiper."

Su Wan's pupils shrank, her eyes turned slightly red, and she looked like she was about to cry. She hurriedly explained to Old Madam Chu.

"Madam, I'm not... I didn't..."

Seeing Ye Qingluo being so arrogant, Old Madam Chu glared at her fiercely.

"Ye! Who gave you the guts to make up stories here?"

"I know the county lady's personality best. There's no need for you to talk nonsense here!"

Madam Chu's tone was full of disgust as she knocked the cane in her hand again and again.

"Why can't you learn a little more from the county lady? You can't do anything, but you want to treat patients. It's simply unrealistic!"

"I'm telling you, if Beiyu is affected by your affairs, I will never forgive you!"

When Su Wan saw how Old Madam Chu treated Ye Qingluo, his eyes became more and more proud.

"Sister, could it be that the Marquis took the blame for you, so..." Su Wan hesitated to finish her words, especially since the carriage Ye Qingluo was riding in was that of Chu Beiyu.

This further stimulated Madam Chu!

She only has this one son!

"Ye! Do you admit your guilt?"

Tsk.

Seeing that the questioning had escalated to directly convicting her, Ye Qingluo's eyes became even more mocking.

"Mother, what crime have I committed? As for why the Marquis hasn't come back yet, who knows..."

"You...you Ye!"

All along, everyone was extremely respectful to Old Madam Chu and did not dare to offend the mother of Marquis Pingyuan, which led to Old Madam Chu looking at everyone with disdain.

Seeing that Ye Qingluo didn't even take her seriously, Old Madam Chu was furious.

"Since you refuse to obey my orders, come and punish me according to the family rules!"

"Today I must teach you what the rules are!"

Su Wan was even more proud when she heard this, "Sister, come over here and apologize to the old lady. She is your elder."

"If anything goes wrong, I'm afraid you won't be able to take the responsibility..."

Ye Qingluo looked at these people speechlessly and no longer had the desire to continue talking.

As for the so-called family rules, haha...

Ye Qingluo ignored these people and went into the mansion. Old Madam Chu became even more angry, "What are you standing there for? Catch her!"

At this moment, Chu Beiyu's voice came from not far away.

"What's the noise?"

Su Wan's eyes lit up, and she called out to Chu Beiyu, "My Lord, you're back!"

Madam Chu's expression eased a lot. "Bei Yu, it's good that you're back. Tell mother quickly if it was Ye's who got you implicated."

Ye Qingluo also turned around and looked at Chu Beiyu quietly.

She also wanted to know what he could say.

Chu Beiyu looked at Ye Qingluo with a very complicated look. Before leaving, he had inquired about it and found out that Ye Qingluo not only did not cause any trouble, but was the hero in treating the empress dowager.

On the contrary, he offended the regent at the palace gate and was laughed at by his colleagues for a while.

Comparing the two, Chu Beiyu felt mixed emotions.

"Mother, let's talk about this slowly. It's getting late. Let's go in first."

Chu Beiyu was unwilling to mention Ye Qingluo's meritorious service, nor was he willing to talk about his own embarrassing experience. No matter what Madam Chu asked, he kept his mouth shut.

Su Wan was obviously unwilling to let Ye Qingluo off like this, and said to Chu Beiwu with a concerned tone, "My Lord, I don't know why my sister spoke harshly to the old lady just now."

"The old lady is not in good health..."

Chu Beiyu listened to this and frowned as he asked Ye Qingluo, "Ye Qingluo, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't you take my previous words to heart? Why are you angry with your mother?"

"Bei Yu, I can't control you as my wife anymore!"

Old Madam Chu snorted coldly, responding to Su Wan's words.

Ye Qingluo looked at the people approaching and sneered, "My Lord, my mother, this county lady, and so many people are coming up to punish me."

"It seems like I'm the one who's at a disadvantage, right?"

Chu Beiyu was about to reply when he saw a carriage stopped not far away and several eunuchs got out.

Before anyone could react, the eunuch had already arrived in front of Chu Beiyu.

"My Lord, you left in such a hurry that you forgot about the tortoise..."

"Turtle?" Ye Qingluo became interested instantly. It really was a green turtle.

"I didn't expect that the Marquis is still interested in the green turtle?"

Chu Beiyu gritted his teeth, his face turning pale and blue with anger. How could he not hear the sarcasm in Ye Qingluo's words.

This turtle is a disgrace to him!!

"My Lord, please continue. Don't make things difficult for us."
