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

"Madam, the Marquis and the old lady want you to come over."

When Ye Qingluo stood up, he met Cuizhu's worried gaze.

"Madam, please let this servant go with you."

Cuizhu said that she was worried that the Marquis and the old lady would harm their wife because of Ximen Ao’s matter.

"No need. You may not be able to help even if you go."

"Besides, no one in this mansion can do anything to me."

Ye Qingluo said this and walked outside. In a short while, he followed the maid to the old lady's courtyard.

"Mother and Lord Marquis, what do you want from me?"

Seeing Ye Qingluo, Madam Chu's face darkened and she started to scold him, "Ye, why are you staying with Ximen Ao?"

Ye Qingluo glanced at Old Madam Chu, then looked at Chu Beiyu standing beside her, and she understood clearly that these two people wanted to take advantage of Ximen Ao's incident to cause trouble.

It's a pity that I miscalculated...

"Mother, you don't know that it's not that I was with Master Ximen, but the theft at Wangyue Restaurant that he mentioned was related to the Marquis' Mansion."

"Is it related to the Marquis' Mansion?" Madam Chu hesitated, and immediately felt something was wrong. "Absurd!"

"Ao'er has been managing the restaurant all these years. How could something go wrong now involve the Marquis' Mansion?"

"Ye, are you trying to evade responsibility and deliberately find an excuse to fool me?"

Ye Qingluo looked at Chu Beiyu calmly and said, "In that case, I will ask the Marquis."

"My Lord, do you really not know who the stolen silver is related to?"

Chu Beiyu felt uncomfortable under Ye Qingluo's gaze and felt a little guilty. Then he spoke angrily.

"Ye Qingluo, what do you mean by this!"

"My mother and I are asking you about Ximen Ao. Don't try to change the subject!"

"But I'm also explaining this to my mother, Lord Marquis. Why do you sound a bit too obvious? Or is it that what Master Ximen said is right, and the stolen silver is from you, Lord Marquis..."

"enough!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, Old Madam Chu realized that something was wrong and spoke out to stop it.

"Ye, no matter what, today's incident was caused by you, you must take responsibility!"

Ye Qingluo only felt that it was ironic, but she did not rush to refuse. She continued to ask, "Mother, how do you and the Marquis want me to be responsible?"

Before Madam Chu could speak, Chu Beiyu snorted coldly.

"Ximen Ao is unconscious now. Go over there tomorrow to see what's going on. And take the restaurant back to me!"

"What if I don't go?"

"This is not up to you!" Chu Beiyu suppressed his anger, "If you hadn't taken action at the beginning, how could things have come to this point?"

"Ye Qingluo, if you go, today's matter will be over. If you don't go, from now on, don't even think about stepping out of the Marquis' Mansion!"

"Mother, do you mean the same thing?"

Facing Ye Qingluo's question, Madam Chu's attitude was not as tough as Chu Beiyu's. She said earnestly, "Ye, as the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion, you should know the importance of everything and be broad-minded."

"Don't do anything that would embarrass your husband..."

Listening to the mother and son singing in unison, Ye Qingluo's eyes were full of mockery.

They really thought that she didn't know what they were planning. They wanted to push her out to be the first to take action because she couldn't bear to do something.

In that case, don’t regret it!

Chu Beiyu seemed to have completely lost his patience and looked like he was about to take action.

"Ye Qingluo, let me ask you one more question, are you going or not?"

"Since my mother and the Marquis have said so, there is no reason for me not to go."

Chu Beiyu snorted coldly after hearing this and gave up.

Seeing this, Madam Chu's expression became much better than before. She told Ye Qingluo, "Ye, we are not in the right today. If you see my sister Du, you should call her aunt and talk to her nicely."

"We must not have any more conflicts. It will bring shame to the Marquis' Mansion."

Ye Qingluo listened to this, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and his tone deliberately emphasized while responding, "Don't worry, mother, if I see Aunt Du, I will definitely talk to her!"

"Mother, Lord, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

Ye Qingluo was about to turn around and leave after saying this, but before he had taken a few steps, he saw Chu Beiyu chasing after him.

"stop!"

"Does the Marquis have any other instructions?"

Chu Beiyu narrowed his eyes slightly, walked towards Ye Qingluo, and asked in a questioning tone, "Ye Qingluo, tell me honestly, did you tell Ximen Ao that the silver stolen from Wangyue Restaurant was related to me?"

Ye Qingluo exclaimed, "So the Marquis has admitted it?"

She sighed, ignoring Chu Beiyu's gloomy expression and said, "I never thought that the Marquis would do such a sneaky thing."

“It’s really amazing.”

"What nonsense are you talking about? The 10,000 taels stolen from the restaurant was Ximen Ao's fault. What does it have to do with me?"

"Ye Qingluo, you'd better understand what to say and what not to say in front of outsiders!"

"Oh, my Lord, you'd better watch your attitude!"

Ye Qingluo met Chu Beiyu's gaze and said word by word, "Otherwise I would just think you are guilty of something."

"My Lord, you don't want to make a big deal out of this, do you?"

"you!"

Chu Beiyu stared at her intently, but couldn't utter a word.

He did feel guilty about the theft at the restaurant.

Cuizhu, who was waiting for Ye Qingluo in the yard, saw someone walking towards her and hurried forward.

"How is Madam? Did the Marquis and the old Madam say anything about Young Master Ximen's matter?"

"They asked me to go to the restaurant tomorrow to inquire about Ximen Ao's injury and take back the restaurant at the same time."

"what?"

Cuizhu couldn't help but open her eyes wide, "But it was the old lady who first proposed to let Master Ximen run the restaurant. Even if she wants to take it back, it should be the old lady who should go."

"And Master Ximen just got kicked by the Marquis. If we go there now, I'm afraid..."

"Ma'am, do you agree?"

"What if you don't agree?"

"Since they want me to go, I'll just go and take a look."

As for what the result will be, there is no guarantee...

"But this is not fair to you, madam!"

"Madam, let me go with you tomorrow!" Cuizhu's eyes were firm. If something really happened, there would be someone to take care of her.

"Okay." Ye Qingluo nodded. It had been a long time since he had taken Cuizhu out of the house.

"Yes!" Cuizhu breathed a sigh of relief after getting the response. As long as she was around, she would never allow outsiders to hurt her lady in any way.

The next morning.

Ye Qingluo took Cuizhu out of the house, but just as they arrived at the backyard of the restaurant, they heard Mrs. Du's sharp voice. It seemed that the other party deliberately raised the tone, trying to embarrass the visitor.

"What kind of visit? Even if you want to apologize, you should send someone decent!"

"What's the use of a useless person!"
