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

Chu Beiyu stood there, looking at the turtle in the eunuch's hand. He didn't know whether to take it or not.

When the eunuch saw that Chu Beiyu had not moved, his voice became more hurried.

"Master Hou?"

Chu Beiyu took a deep breath, slowly relaxed his clenched fists, and reached out to catch the turtle.

Right now he needs to consolidate his relationships in the court and cannot afford to offend that prince.

The eunuch smiled when he saw this, "My Lord, His Highness said that this turtle is destined to be with you. You must take good care of it. He will send someone to check on it every once in a while."

Chu Beiyu's expression changed and the turtle in his hand almost fell to the ground.

There was also shock in his questioning voice, "You said His Highness is going to send someone to check it out?"

"nature."

"But you don't have to worry too much, sir. As long as you take good care of it, there will be no problem."

After the eunuch left, Ye Qingluo walked forward with an almost undisguised smile on his face and poked the turtle shell with his hand.

"I didn't expect someone would give the Marquis a turtle. That's really amazing!"

For some reason, when she heard the eunuch mention "Your Highness", she couldn't help but think of Ye Beimo.

Giving away turtles as a gift really seems like something he could do.

"Ye Qingluo, don't go too far!"

Chu Beiyu's back teeth were almost broken as he spoke angrily to Ye Qingluo.

This woman knew that he was in a bad mood, but she still wanted to make things difficult for him!

Ye Qingluo's eyes curved, "How come I am asking for trouble? Lord Marquis, you better take this turtle."

"If there is any mistake and His Highness is upset, it will be bad."

She left after saying these words. Su Wan walked up to her quickly and was equally surprised about the green turtle.

"My Lord, this turtle..."

Chu Beiwu was very annoyed, and because of Ye Qingluo's ridicule just now, he didn't want to say more to Su Wan.

"Wan'er, it's getting late today. I'll have someone take you back."

Before Su Wan could speak, Chu Beiyu had already spoken.

"What are you waiting for? Send the county lady back to the mansion!"

Hearing the anger in Chu Beiyu's words, Su Wan didn't know what to say. If he stayed any longer, he would be asking for trouble.

It’s all the fault of that bitch Ye Qingluo!

Madam Chu also noticed Chu Beiyu's attitude towards Su Wan, and asked while leaning on her cane, "Beiyu, what happened? And who is the prince that the eunuch just mentioned, and why did he send a turtle?"

"Mom, I'm a little tired."

Chu Beiyu stared at the turtle in his hand hatefully and walked inside.

"Madam, I feel like all these things are somehow related to you. The Marquis..."

Old Lady Chu snorted coldly, "Bei Yu is too tolerant, that's why he allowed Ye to do whatever he wants!"

"Before I had the generals around, I could tolerate her temper, but now that she has lost her family's support, she really thinks she is nothing!"

"Sooner or later, I will have to take care of her!"

After knowing that Chu Beiyu was sent to be a turtle, Ye Qingluo's mood also improved a lot.

It seems that something must have happened during the time she left, especially Chu Beiyu's expression when he saw Gui, which seemed to be as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a rope.

I face this turtle every day, but I can't throw it away. I don't know how uncomfortable it is!

It’s comforting to think about this!

However, in the next few days, Su Wan appeared frequently in the mansion, and every time Ye Qingluo came back from Huichuntang, he could see her.

That day, as soon as she returned home, she saw Su Wan preparing to leave.

Ye Qingluo wanted to ignore it, she didn’t think there was anything to talk about between her and Su Wan.

However, she didn't expect that Su Wan had no intention of leaving. Instead, he took the initiative to walk forward and bowed to her with a smile.

"Sister, please stay."

Ye Qingluo glanced at her and said calmly, "You... have something to do?"

"Sister, the old lady has not been in good health these days. Can you be more patient and not say anything to irritate her?"

Seeing maids passing by, Su Wan deliberately raised her voice, trying to make everyone hear her.

"Su Wan, I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding about this matter."

"What?" Su Wan was stunned and looked at her with puzzled eyes.

"First, I am the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion. Please consider your own weight before speaking. Second, the reason why my mother's body is repeatedly stimulated is that I should check the people around her carefully."

"Look who has so much free time to blow these rumors all day long."

"Su Wan, even though you are the county lady, don't forget that you are neither married nor engaged. A girl running here all day long, aren't you afraid of being gossiped about by others?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the servants in the mansion who were originally watching the fun suddenly changed their eyes when they looked at Su Wan.

They knew that this county lady was the future concubine of the Marquis.

But before there is substantive courtesy, verbal greetings are not valid.

In this case, this county lord is indeed...

Su Wan originally wanted to take this opportunity to mock Ye Qingluo, but unexpectedly he was taught a lesson by her instead, and there were so many people around.

This bitch wanted to humiliate her, which was really too much.

"County Lady, next time you see me, don't call me sister all the time. I can't bear it."

"If not, I will have someone ask the Shangshu's wife whether there is such a rule in the mansion."

When Ye Qingluo saw Cuizhu coming towards him, he ignored her and left Su Wan standing there alone.

"Madam..." Cuizhu was about to speak, but when she saw Chu Beiyu standing not far away, she felt inexplicably worried.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Cuizhu's bad face, Ye Qingluo looked back in the direction of her gaze and saw Chu Beiyu looking at her with dissatisfaction.

I guess it was because of what I heard just now.

She curled her lips and asked Chu Beiyu, "My Lord, do you think what I just said is right?"

Chu Beiyu did not reply, his eyes were full of ferocity, and in front of her and everyone else, he pulled Su Wan's hand and said, "Wan'er, let's go!"

"Don't bother with this vicious woman!"

Su Wan let Chu Beiyu pull her away, and before leaving, she did not forget to show her respect to Ye Qingluo with her peripheral vision.

Cuizhu immediately noticed the problem, "Madam, why is this county lady still..."

"Don't worry about her."

Ye Qingluo didn't care. These two people were of the same kind and very concerned about their reputation. At least they would not dare to break up with you unless it was absolutely necessary.

"What happened to what I told you?"

Cuizhu got excited when she heard this. Seeing that there were other people around, she could only move closer. "Madam, I heard that the old lady gave the Marquis 10,000 taels these days, and after my investigation, I found that this 10,000 taels was stolen some time ago."

"interesting."

Ye Qingluo smiled. She remembered that a few months ago, a thief suddenly appeared in the mansion, and the original owner's dowry was missing ten thousand taels. After learning about this, the original owner immediately wanted to report to the police, but she didn't expect to be stopped by Madam Chu with a sentence that family disgrace should not be made public.

Whenever the original owner had an opinion, he would go on a hunger strike in protest. The original owner was so annoyed that he had no choice but to give up.

When she saw the details in the account book, she asked Cuizhu to check it. Unexpectedly, after a few checks, she really found some clues.

So the so-called thief is just directing and acting in his own drama.

It was a pity that the former director worked so hard, but he didn't expect that not only would he be watched out for, but he would also be plotted against.

"Madam, if this is the case, what should we do now?"

"Cuizhu, are you sure that only 10,000 taels were stolen?"

Cuizhu's eyes lit up, "Madam, you mean...!"

"Since it's theft, who can tell whether it's 10,000 taels or 20,000 taels?"
