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

The more Cuizhu thought about it, the more she felt that this was too unbelievable. As a marquis, how could he do such a thing as stealing?

If this gets out, how will others view the Marquis' Mansion?

"Madam, Wangyue Restaurant is your property after all. Should we not care about this matter?"

Cuizhu was worried that if something really happened, she was afraid that her wife would be the one who would be affected in the end.

"Yes, but not now."

Ye Qingluo raised the corners of his lips, "Because of what happened today, Ximen Ao and the Marquis have a feud. Who do you think the old lady will side with between her own relatives and the Marquis?"

Cuizhu suddenly realized and looked at Ye Qingluo with admiration.

"Madam, are you saying that no matter who wins or loses, we can use this incident to take back the restaurant?"

"It's so effortless, madam, this trick is really brilliant!"

Cuizhu praised her. If Ye Qingluo hadn't reminded her, she would probably not be able to understand the meaning behind it.

Ye Qingluo nodded and said, just wait and see, with Ximen Ao around, Chu Beiyu’s current good days will be over.

And she was happy to see it happen.

It was not until the evening that the guests in the mansion left one after another. Su Wan, who was accompanying Madam Chu, saw Chu Beiyu coming back and stepped forward with a concerned look on her face, "My Lord, my father..."

"The Minister has already gone back, but how are my mother and aunt doing?"

For Chu Beiyu at the moment, nothing is more important than money.

Su Wan lowered her eyes and glanced at Madam Chu. "My Lord, can we go outside to talk? Madam Du just left. The old lady has been silent since a while ago. She seems to have been greatly stimulated."

After hearing this, Chu Beiyu said nothing more and walked out with Su Wan.

After leaving the house, Su Wan told Chu Beiyu what had just happened. When Chu Beiyu heard about the silver, his brows furrowed, "What do you mean by one thousand taels?"

"I haven't even asked them for money yet, but they dared to ask first!"

"My Lord, I know you are angry, but Madam Du is the old lady's sister after all, and Ximen Ao was indeed injured in the mansion."

"I have already given you the thousand taels, so you don't have to worry."

Chu Beiyu's expression softened a lot when he heard that it was Su Wan who paid the money.

Then he hugged her in his arms, "Wan'er, today's matter is all thanks to you, otherwise..."

Su Wan snuggled in Chu Beiyu's arms, her face full of satisfaction and her voice tenderly.

"My Lord, what are you talking about? I am already very satisfied to be able to help you solve your problems. Besides, these are nothing."

"It's just..." Su Wan paused, "Wan'er has always been strange about this matter. I don't know whether I should say it."

Seeing Su Wan looking hesitant, Chu Beiyu was puzzled.

"You decide. I'm here to make the decision for you no matter what happens."

"My Lord, have you ever thought about why Ximen Ao appeared in the backyard, and why he was with my sister?"

"Could it be that my sister's people took action first, which made Ximen Ao unhappy? But when he saw you, my Lord, he should have given you an explanation. Why would he ask about the theft at Wangyue Restaurant?"

"I heard that Ximen Ao has been in charge of the restaurant for the past few years, and he has been doing evil things in your name."

"Now that something has been stolen, shouldn't he be more responsible? Is it because of my sister..."

While Su Wan was talking, she kept observing Chu Beiyu's expression. Seeing that his face gradually became gloomy, she felt secretly happy.

"Wan'er, are you saying that this matter is directly related to Ye Qingluo?"

"My Lord, that's not what I meant. It's just that there are many doubts about this matter. If I go directly there, I will misunderstand my sister and it will lead to a fight."

Su Wan lowered his head, looking worried.

Chu Beiyu snorted coldly, clearly showing a disdainful attitude towards Ye Qingluo's matter.

"Wan'er, you are just too kind!"

"How could I, a great marquis, be afraid of her?"

"Just wait, I'm going to find that vicious woman now!"

Chu Beiyu said angrily that Ximen Ao's matter had made him lose face in front of outsiders, and he was determined to get it back from Ye Qingluo.

Su Wan was overjoyed and was about to say something when he saw an old woman coming out.

"My Lord, the old lady asks you to come in."

Chu Beiyu had no choice but to stop and look in the direction of Su Wan again.

"Wan'er, I'm going to go see my mother first. As for you... now that the engagement has been finalized, everyone in the capital knows that you are my future second wife. When I finish the things in my hands, I will marry you in style."

"Well... Wan'er believes in the Marquis."

Chu Beiyu was very touched by Su Wan's tenderness and affection, "Wan'er, you are still the one that pleases me the most."

……

After Su Wan left, Chu Beiyu entered the house and looked in the direction of Old Madam Chu.

"Mother, what do you want from me?"

"Bei Yu, you are so reckless regarding your cousin Ximen!"

"Even if the other party did something wrong, you wouldn't just do it. Did you know that your aunt complained to me for a long time because of this?"

"What auntie... Mother, you are just too kind, that's why these people took advantage of you."

"That Ximen Ao first barged into the backyard drunk, and then questioned me about the theft at Wangyue Restaurant!"

"That restaurant was originally owned by the Marquis's Mansion. He was allowed to run it for a few years, but he took it for himself!"

Chu Beiyu got angry when he thought about the fact that he had sent people to the restaurant to withdraw money but was repeatedly turned away during this period.

"Mother, you shouldn't have handed over the restaurant. Even if you asked a servant in the mansion to run it, it would be better than Ximen Ao."

Old Madam Chu was also dissatisfied after hearing this.

"Bei Yu, are you blaming me?"

"Children don't dare."

Under Madam Chu's questioning, Chu Beiyu's attitude became more restrained.

"You..."

Old Madam Chu was helpless, even though Mrs. Du and Ximen Ao were related to her.

But compared with his own son, these two people are far inferior.

"Mother, since this has already happened, let's find a reason to let Ximen Ao return the restaurant to him."

"But Ao'er has been running this business for so long, and with what happened today and your aunt, I can't... bring myself to say this..."

Old Madam Chu was a little hesitant. She really didn't want to be the bad guy.

"Don't worry, mother. I have already thought about this matter."

"If Ximen Ao and my aunt come, mother can just pretend not to know."

Madam Chu nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and then asked Chu Beiyu, "Who do you plan to send?"

"Ye Qingluo."

"You mean her?" Madam Chu paused, obviously worried. "Will she agree to this?"

During this period of time, Ye Qingluo had been causing trouble one after another, which made her feel upset.

Chu Beiyu flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly, "This is the Marquis' Mansion, it's not her turn to refuse!"
