"Someone, take these two away and give them twenty lashes each!"

When the two maids heard this, they turned pale with fright and begged for mercy.

Twenty lashes of the board are more terrible than kicking them out.

Cuizhu couldn't help but sigh as she watched, "It's said that this county lady treats people very well, but now it seems that's not the case."

Even if a man was beaten with twenty sticks, he would have to lie in bed for one and a half months, let alone two women.

Qiao'er, who was following Su Wan, looked at the maid begging for mercy on the ground and tried to plead, "County Lady, isn't twenty strokes too much? Moreover, this is in the Marquis' Mansion. If it gets out, it will be bad for you."

Su Wan frowned and said coldly to the people around her, "When did I make the decision and it was your turn to judge?"

Although she has not yet married, the marriage has been decided, and she urgently needs to establish her prestige in the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion.

At this time, these two maids came to the door.

Just as Su Wan was thinking about it, she heard a sigh from behind.

"The county lady hasn't even married yet, and you're already in a hurry to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys?"

Su Wan's face changed when her secret was revealed, and she immediately looked towards the source of the voice. After seeing the person coming, her expression changed and the gloom on her face subsided a little.

"It's my sister."

Ye Qingluo glanced at her and said, "It seems that the county lady's memory is still not very good. Only the eldest lady in the Shangshu Mansion is your sister."

"Could it be that the county lady has the habit of calling everyone sister?"

Su Wan gritted her teeth and said dissatisfiedly when she saw that there was no one around except these maids.

"Madam, what are you talking about? It's just that the Marquis and I have just got engaged, and my status in the mansion will not be the same as yours."

"There's nothing I can do even if Madam is unhappy."

"County Lady, how can you speak to my wife like that?"

Cuizhu was dissatisfied. Before they even entered the mansion, the county lady was already in a hurry to assert her sovereignty.

That arrogance is really disgusting.

Su Wan raised her head, her expression even more disdainful, "Ye Qingluo, you really should take good care of the people around you, so as not to offend anyone in the future and cause trouble to the Marquis' Mansion."

"Su Wan, are you starting to act as my master?"

Ye Qingluo's eyes were cold as he glanced at the maid on the ground, "All of you please leave."

"Yes!"

The two maids who heard the message had no chance to say thank you before they left for Bei Suwan.

"Madam, these two people are so careless and yet they dare to spread unfounded rumors in the mansion."

"Such behavior should be severely punished, but you just let it go. Could it be that the rumors are related to you?"

"County Lady, what do you mean by that? You have to have evidence when you speak!"

Cuizhu couldn't stand Su Wan's arrogance.

Su Wan, however, looked unconvinced. Even if she had not entered the family, she was still a county lady. Ye Qingluo was now so despised by the Marquis and Old Madam Chu.

Her family has completely fallen on hard times, so how could they dare to do anything to her?

Ye Qingluo had no intention of paying any attention to Su Wan, seeing that the two maids were still standing there motionless.

"Why don't you leave? Are you really going to do as the county lady said and get 20 lashes of the cane before you're satisfied?"

After hearing what Ye Qingluo said, the two did not dare to stay any longer and left quickly.

Su Wan was instantly furious when she saw this scene, and spoke even more impolitely.

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

Su Wan almost quickly stepped forward, and when she was only a few steps away from Ye Qingluo, she confronted her sternly.

Just as Su Wan was about to take action, Ye Qingluo grabbed her wrist and she felt a sharp pain.

"Su Wan, you'd better sober up. Don't rush to swear anything in front of me before you even enter the door."

"And the term co-wife is just a nice way of saying it. Don't you know what that means?"

No matter how hard Su Wan tried, she couldn't break free. On the contrary, the pain in her arm became more intense.

Just when she was getting anxious, she saw Chu Beiyu striding towards her. Su Wan's eyes lit up, as if she saw a savior.

"My Lord."

"Ye Qingluo, you vicious woman, let Wan'er go!"

Chu Beiyu scolded angrily, and when he was about to get close, Ye Qingluo let go at the right time.

Su Wan lost her balance and fell backwards suddenly. Chu Beiyu had no time to scold her and hugged her in his arms.

"Wan'er, are you okay?"

"Sister Hou, she..."

"Ye Qingluo, come here and apologize to Wan'er!"

Seeing Su Wan's weak appearance, Chu Beiyu became even angrier towards Ye Qingluo.

Ye Qingluo was disdainful, and when he raised his eyes he met Su Wan's provocative gaze.

"apologize?"

"My Lord, it's not dark yet, you should go to bed with the county lady in your arms."

You still want her to apologize? You’re just dreaming!

When Ye Qingluo turned around, he seemed to have thought of something and said, "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I want to remind you of. The theft has spread throughout the capital."

"My Lord, it would be better for you to handle this matter in order to influence you. It would be bad if it causes a bigger dispute."

"My Lord, don't you think so?"

Ye Qingluo said this and turned to leave. Cuizhu hurriedly followed him. His wife was still the most capable in this matter.

"Ye Qingluo! Stop right there!"

Chu Beiyu originally wanted to go up to Ye Qingluo and explain everything to her. How did those things spread across the capital?

Before he moved, he realized that Su Wan was still in his arms.

Su Wan noticed something was wrong and asked softly, "My Lord, what happened? Why didn't my sister say that?"

"Wan'er, once you enter the house, you will be my second wife. Why are you calling her Madam?"

Chu Beiyu was displeased.

"My lady won't let me shout like that. She also said that even if I enter the door, I will still do it."

"My Lord, I really don't know how I have offended Madam to deserve such treatment from her."

Su Wan lowered her head and sobbed softly.

"Don't worry about what she says. Even if you call her sister, you are honoring her."

"This Pingyuan Marquis Mansion belongs to me, it's not her turn to make the decision!"

"Just what happened just now, and what about the rumors that Ye Qingluo mentioned?"

Chu Beiyu inexplicably had a bad feeling. If the news had spread out as Ye Qingluo said, then there would be big trouble!

Outside the government office.

"go out!"

Ximen Ao and everyone around him were kicked out by the officers and soldiers inside.

"Ximen Ao, my master said that if you say something slanderous about the Marquis again without any evidence, you will be arrested and will not be let off easily next time!"

"Is that the Marquis of Pingyuan someone you can criticize casually?"

Ximen Ao became even more furious after hearing this, "What slander? The 10,000 taels stolen from my restaurant were stolen by Chu Beiyu!"

"Don't you think Chu Beiyu is a marquis who dares not control him?"

"Why haven't I seen you like this before? Just wait!"

Ximen Ao clenched his fists and gnashed his teeth in anger:

"I'm telling you! This isn't over yet!"
