Ye Qingluo felt warm inside, and said to Cuizhu in a comforting tone, "Don't worry, they won't get any benefit from me."

Before kicking Chu Beiyu out, she was determined to make this family pay back what they owed the original owner!

The servants in the mansion spent the rest of the day preparing for the engagement.

Old Madam Chu and Chu Beiyu seemed to have learned from their last experience and did not appear in front of her again, which was also what Ye Qingluo wanted.

As soon as she arrived at Huichun Hall, she saw Caiyue approaching and saying mysteriously, "Madam, I heard from the people nearby that Wangyue Restaurant was robbed last night."

"Oh?" Ye Qingluo raised his eyebrows slightly, and became interested. "Have the government officials been there?"

"I have been there, but I didn't find anything. I was there at the time, and I heard from the waiter that thieves stole 10,000 taels of silver from the restaurant."

"It's just that the officials don't have enough evidence to make a judgment."

"You can hear Ximen Ao cursing from far away."

Caiyue felt pleased, because in the past, Ximen Ao relied on the title of Marquis Pingyuan to do evil things, leaving those who were bullied with no way to report to the authorities.

Now that the government doesn't care about this matter, it is really Ximen Ao's retribution.

"Just took ten thousand taels?" Ye Qingluo hesitated, and suddenly remembered that Chu Beiyu mentioned ten thousand taels to him yesterday.

In the past, the government protected him because they didn't want to offend Lord Chu Beiyu. But now...

Ye Qingluo chuckled, it was really interesting.

"Caiyue, find a way to tell Ximen Ao about the thieves and say that this matter is related to Pingyuan Marquis Mansion."

"what?"

Caiyue opened her eyes wide in shock and quickly understood what Ye Qingluo meant.

My wife would never do such a thing, so the only option is...

"Madam, are you saying that the thieves are related to the Marquis?"

Seeing Ye Qingluo nod, Caiyue couldn't believe it, "But a Marquis shouldn't do this."

"Of course it won't be like this under normal circumstances, but what if it's urgent?"

The government's lack of response in this matter just confirmed her guess.

Old Madam Chu is devoted to protecting her relatives and does not allow anyone to interfere in this matter, but what if the matter has already affected Chu Beiyu?

How should he choose between his relatives and his son?

No matter which one it is, it will arouse the anger of one party. The engagement banquet is coming soon, and it will be interesting to watch.

"Yes! I'll do it right away."

Caiyue agreed, that means Pingyuan Hou and Ximen Ao are not good people either!

If the two of them fight, no matter who loses, it will be a great pleasure!

The day of the engagement banquet soon arrived. Ye Qingluo had just walked out of the yard when she saw the housekeeper of the mansion coming with servants and blocking her way.

"What is this for?"

Cuizhu protected Ye Qingluo and asked with a cold face.

The housekeeper maintained a false smile on his face, "Madam, the Marquis said that today is the day he and the county lady are engaged, so you don't have to show up."

"You are so brave! My wife is the mistress of the mansion. If she doesn't show up today, what will outsiders think?"

The housekeeper remained calm despite Cuizhu's scolding and continued to look at Ye Qingluo.

"Madam, I am only conveying the Marquis's words."

"Please don't make it difficult for me."

"You...!" Cuizhu was about to take action to deal with these people, but was stopped by Ye Qingluo.

"it is good."

"lady!"

Cuizhu was puzzled. The county lady said she was a co-wife, but in fact she was a mistress.

On the day of the engagement, the Marquis's actions were tantamount to telling everyone that his wife's status was no longer as high as before.

"Not urgent."

After the housekeeper left, Ye Qingluo said to Cuizhu, "Since someone doesn't want us to go, why bother ourselves at this time?"

"The more interesting things are yet to come..."

Ye Qingluo said calmly. With Chu Beiyu's personality, he would never have thought of this. It was most likely Su Wan's idea that he could do this.

As soon as they got engaged, he wanted to give her a warning, but unfortunately he was too smart.

In the back garden.

Chu Beiyu held Su Wan's hand, and the two looked at each other with deep affection.

"My Lord, someone is coming."

Hearing footsteps approaching, Su Wan hurriedly let go.

The butler stepped forward quickly and said, "My Lord, I have already informed the Madam of this matter."

Chu Beiyu paused. Although he felt that this matter was a little inappropriate, thinking about the troubles Ye Qingluo had caused him during this period, he finally agreed to Su Wan's proposal.

"How did she react after hearing this?" Chu Beiyu asked.

"Madam just said ok, but didn't respond."

Chu Beiwu frowned. After hearing that Ye Qingluo had no emotions, he felt inexplicably irritated.

"She didn't say anything?!"

"Not even a complaint?"

"Yes……"

"This Ye Qingluo!"

The butler didn't understand why Chu Beiyu was angry for a moment. Not allowing the lady to be present was exactly what the Marquis wanted.

Why did the Marquis become unhappy after the Madam agreed?

Seeing that something was wrong, Su Wan quickly took Chu Beiyu's arm and signaled the housekeeper to leave.

"My Lord, if you feel it is inappropriate, you might as well let my sister be there. But I am worried that the incident at the Dali Temple will happen again."

"Besides my father, there are also some officials from the court here today..."

After hearing what Su Wan said, Chu Beiyu's wavering heart instantly became firm, and he said angrily, "Don't bother with her! It's time for her to recognize her own status!"

"My Lord, Minister Su and some guests have arrived."

Chu Beiyu hummed softly and said to Su Wan softly, "Wan'er, I'll go first."

"it is good."

After Chu Beiyu left, the smile on Su Wan's face gradually disappeared, replaced by indifference and viciousness.

"How about what I told you?"

Qiao'er walked forward and replied to Su Wan, "Please rest assured, County Master. I have already delivered the invitation to Wangyue Restaurant according to your instructions."

"Ximen Ao is on his way."

"That's not enough. When the engagement banquet starts, you need to find a way to lure Ximen Ao to the backyard and let Ye Qingluo run into him!"

Su Wan said angrily that Ye Qingluo frequently ruined her plans and made her spend five thousand taels for no reason!

The Marquis was already extremely dissatisfied with Ximen Ao because of the restaurant incident. If he were to see the two of them in the same place again, how could he tolerate her in front of outsiders!

Without the favor of her husband, Ye Qingluo, the mistress, is nothing!

You still want to compete with her? That's just wishful thinking!

Ye Qingluo was planning to take Cuizhu for a walk in the nearby backyard, but he saw a drunk man stumbling towards them with a wine jug in his hand.

When he saw her and Cuizhu, the man held the wine jug in one hand, stroked his chin with the other, and smiled lasciviously.

"Where did this young lady come from? She is so beautiful..."

"Why don't you follow me back home and have a good kiss with me!"

After saying that, Ximen Ao threw away the wine jug in his hand and rushed towards her and Cuizhu.

Before he could get close, he heard a scream like a pig being slaughtered.

"what"

With a bang, Ximen Ao fell to the ground fiercely, looking at the woman in front of him in disbelief. She was already completely drunk.
