After instructing Li Er on some matters of caution, Ye Qingluo prepared to return home.

But just as she left Huichun Hall, she saw a man standing next to the carriage, looking at her with complicated eyes.

"My Lord, have you not returned yet?"

Chu Beiyu looked at her, and rarely did he show the anger he had before. After a moment of silence, he said, "Get in the carriage. I have something to tell you."

Ye Qingluo did not refuse this. She also wanted to know what else this person would say after passing by the plaque.

From the moment he got on the carriage, Chu Beiyu's eyes had been on Ye Qingluo.

"My Lord, I can't tell the value of silver when you look at me like this."

Chu Beiyu's expression changed slightly and his voice became quite angry.

"So you know everything!"

Ye Qingluo disagreed, his eyes were cold, "Even if I knew, what can I do, Lord? I don't care what your purpose is, Huichuntang's money must not be moved, every transaction is recorded in the book, even I don't have the right to withdraw it."

"I advise you to give up this idea."

Chu Beiyu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down as much as possible.

"Ye Qingluo, I thought I had made my point very clear at the beginning, why are you still making trouble like this!"

"Even if Wan'er marries me and becomes my second wife, she won't threaten your position as mistress, but you..."

The more Chu Beiyu thought about it, the more upset he became. Nothing had gone smoothly since he returned to Beijing, and he even offended the Regent.

Ye Qingluo found it ironic, "My Lord, do you mean to say that all this is caused by me?"

"Is not it?"

"Ye Qingluo, the general who guards the country has been demoted. The present is different from the past. Without me, you are nothing!"

Chu Beiyu's tone was full of disdain, "Don't be too aggressive!"

"Oh, then I guess we have nothing to talk about."

"parking."

"Don't stop!"

Seeing that he couldn't scare Ye Qingluo, Chu Beiyu became even more angry. Although he wanted to abandon this woman as soon as possible, he had no choice but to ask her to come forward at the moment.

After a stalemate, Chu Beiyu was the first to break the silence.

"Okay, Huichuntang is yours and I don't care. We can arrange an appointment at the restaurant. Should you come forward?"

"You should ask your cousin Ximen about this matter, my Lord."

"The mother of the restaurant said that no one is allowed to interfere, otherwise it will be against her."

"My Lord, it may not be too much to ask me to come forward at this time."

Chu Beiyu was furious, "You clearly know that mother is not in good health, and Ximen Ao is the son of mother's sister!"

"You really want your mother to know so that she will fall ill, Ye Qingluo, I remember you were not like this before, why have you become so cold-blooded after not seeing you for three years!"

Chu Beiyu condemned every word, "Ye Qingluo, you really disappoint me!"

"Hasn't that been enough?"

Ye Qingluo's patience was worn out. The driver outside heard the quarrel and Chu Beiyu's words "not to stop", so he didn't dare to make a decision.

"No! You must come with me to Wangyue Restaurant today!"

The engagement day was approaching, and he had already given half of the bride price. Together with the five thousand taels given by Su Wan, he only had twenty thousand taels left.

He also had to prepare clothes and entertain guests so that others and his future father-in-law, Minister Su, would not look down on him.

After all this, I'm afraid there will only be 10,000 taels left!

Huichuntang has a plaque bestowed by the emperor, and coupled with the words of the eunuch in front of the emperor, it is impossible to make any moves on it. The only thing they can do is to start with Wangyue Restaurant.

He had observed that place in the past few days. As long as he could take it back, all his crises would be solved at once.

Chu Beiyu wanted to continue speaking, but when he opened his mouth he found that he couldn't utter a word.

"Noisy!"

Ye Qingluo was disdainful. If the situation did not allow it, he really wanted to turn Chu Beiyu into a mute with one shot of needle!

He looks like a decent human being, but his mouth is really annoying.

"My lord, my lady, are we going to the restaurant or back home?" the coachman asked cautiously, not daring to offend anyone easily.

"Go home!"

Chu Beiyu was so angry that he couldn't speak and could only raise his hand. The next second, he felt his whole body stiff.

"My Lord, please stop struggling, or I can't guarantee what will happen."

Ye Qingluo raised the corners of his lips, his eyes full of malice.

After arriving at the mansion, Ye Qingluo got off the carriage directly. Not long after he walked, he heard Chu Beiyu's angry voice.

"Ye Qingluo, stop right there!"

Cuizhu, who had come running, saw this scene and asked, "Madam, what happened to the Marquis?"

"I did something wrong, I went crazy, and I got my retribution."

Chu Beiyu finally recovered his mobility and was able to speak again, and was just about to settle the score with Ye Qingluo.

But when I heard her next few words, I almost couldn't breathe.

"My Lord, if you want something, find a way to get it yourself."

Don't think that she doesn't know what Chu Beiyu is planning. He doesn't want to break up with her, nor does he want to offend Old Madam Chu, so he wants to push her out.

If anything goes wrong, the blame can be put on her with good reason.

What a vicious man!

"My Lord, if you continue to behave like this, I will call the people from the Dali Temple tomorrow and let them judge the case. How about that?"

"you dare!"

"Whether I dare or not, you can try it, my lord... I'm afraid that you will lose both your money and your life."

Chu Beiyu was both angry and afraid that Ye Qingluo would really do this. At this time, the housekeeper ran over and handed him an IOU.

"My Lord, Master Ximen said that if you are short of silver, he can lend you 10,000 taels for emergency use."

Chu Beiyu snatched the IOU and tore it into two pieces angrily.

"Who the hell is this Ximen Ao! Does Wangyue Restaurant belong to him? It's his turn to ask for a loan!"

It would be fine if Ye Qingluo was angry with him, but she would never tolerate what happened to Ximen Ao.

He must do something about this matter!

"Ma'am, are you okay?"

Seeing that Ye Qingluo had been silent since he came back, Cuizhu couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Ever since the Marquis proposed to make the county lady from the Shangshu Mansion his co-wife, he has been giving his wife the cold shoulder again and again.

Just thinking about what the lady had given over the years, she felt it was not worth it.

"I am fine."

Ye Qingluo replied.

Cuizhu heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. "That's good. I thought you were worried about the rumors in the mansion..."

"rumor?"

Ye Qingluo hesitated, and seeing Cuizhu seemed to want to say something but hesitated, "Tell me, what is the rumor?"

"Those people said that the county lady in the Shangshu Mansion is deeply loved by the old lady. If she gets engaged to the Marquis in two days, I'm afraid she will soon replace your position in the mansion."

"The so-called position refers to the position of the mistress?"

Ye Qingluo sneered, his face full of disdain, "If she wants it, just take it, provided she has the ability to do so."

"Cuizhu, it's fine if other people say this, but why are you getting involved?"

"Slave...slave..."

Cuizhu lowered her head and said, "Madam, I am just feeling sorry for you."

"You have given so much to the Marquis's Mansion, but since the Marquis came back, he has first made you his equal wife, then put you under house arrest, and still treats you like this."

"I really can't bear to see you like this...!"
