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

Ye Beimo paused, and when he met Ye Qingluo's smiling eyes, he realized that he was being teased.

He took two steps closer to her, his eyes narrowed slightly, "What do you think?"

Ye Qingluo chuckled. As Ye Beimo approached her, she noticed his blushing cheeks. She didn't expect that this prince would show a shy side when being teased.

It's really interesting...

"Your Highness is naturally different from others."

Ye Beimo's heart was stirred by Ye Qingluo's words. The corners of his lips on his handsome face unconsciously rose. When he noticed the other person's gaze, he tried hard not to reveal anything.

"You are wise!"

"And this is for you..."

Ye Beimo took out an exquisite wooden box from his sleeve and handed it over.

"What is this?" Ye Qingluo was puzzled. When he took it and was about to open it, he was stopped by Ye Beimo.

"It's just a worthless little thing. You can open it after I leave."

Looking at Ye Beimo's awkward and arrogant appearance, he doesn't act at all cold in front of outsiders and is actually quite cute.

Seeing someone coming this way, Ye Beimo took a step back and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "The King is leaving."

"If you encounter any trouble, feel free to come to me at any time."

After Ye Beimo walked out of the restaurant, Cuizhu stepped forward and said, "Madam, the matter of Zhang Jiu has been settled, but I just heard from the waiter that the current situation of the restaurant is not optimistic. Do you want to go and take a look?"

Ye Qingluo nodded. She also wanted to know what the situation would be like in the end after Ximen Ao ran this place for three years.

She casually put the wooden box into the space through her sleeve, followed the green bamboo inside, and came to the innermost room. She saw account books piled up on the table, and she couldn't tell which one was the most recent.

“What’s up with these ledgers?”

Ye Qingluo's voice interrupted the conversation between Caiyue and the waiter, and Caiyue walked forward first.

"Madam, I followed your instructions and asked the waiter to find the most recent account books, but who would have thought that the waiter would come up with so many at once."

The waiter also looked nervous, especially after what happened just now, and hurriedly said, "Madam, I really don't mean to fool you. It's just that Master Ximen said that the account book doesn't need to be kept too detailed, and it's enough to record it every once in a while."

"So these account books are all from the past, and there's no recent one?"

Caiyue understood what was meant and asked, the waiter nodded. They were in a restaurant and did not dare to disobey Ximen Ao's orders, so this was all they could do.

"Ma'am, look at this..."

Ye Qingluo looked at these account books and noticed the difference. "What about the silver? How much silver does the restaurant have left?"

"This... Madam, I only serve dishes and greet guests, so I don't know about these things. The former shopkeeper Sun was in charge of the money, but he has not been seen since the incident with Master Ximen."

"If you want to know, can I send someone to search the former residence of Shopkeeper Sun?"

There is a large yard behind the restaurant, which is usually used for them to rest.

Ye Qingluo nodded, "This is the only way now."

After a while, the waiter came back with his people and placed more than a dozen account books in front of Ye Qingluo.

"Ma'am, this is what I sent someone to find."

Ye Qingluo picked up a book and casually flipped through two pages. It recorded some recent expenses of the restaurant. However, the records were too messy and needed to be specially sorted out.

And if the things on the table are not sorted out, big problems will arise sooner or later.

Caiyue seemed to see Ye Qingluo's worry and took the initiative to step forward, "Madam, if you trust me, I am sure I can sort out these account books within three days."

"Three days?"

The waiter was surprised, "Miss Caiyue, there are at least 20 account books in total, or even more. I'm afraid three days won't be enough."

What's more, the numbers on it are so densely packed that it's difficult to just look at them.

Ye Qingluo also had concerns about this. It was not that she did not trust Caiyue, but she was afraid that Caiyue could not handle such a large amount by herself.

Facing these people's doubts, Caiyue's expression became even more determined.

"Ma'am, please believe me, I can do it!"

Facing Caiyue's determined eyes, Ye Qingluo replied, "Okay."

"I will check the results in three days. You can use the people in the restaurant as you like. If you need anything else, please let me know."

Ye Qingluo's words were tantamount to telling the waiter and other people in the restaurant.

Caiyue is likely to be the next shopkeeper.

Caiyue was very grateful for this and bowed to Ye Qingluo again.

"Ma'am, rest assured, I will never let you down!"

After explaining all this, Ye Qingluo took Cuizhu away.

"Madam, are you planning to hand over the restaurant to Miss Caiyue?"

"You can say that."

Ye Qingluo replied that he had nothing to hide. Seeing Cuizhu didn't say anything, he asked again, "Do you have any other opinions on this?"

"No...no."

Cuizhu said quickly, Ye Qingluo smiled, "You have been by my side for many years, I trust you, no matter if it is good or bad, just say it directly."

After hearing what her wife said, Cuizhu said, "Madam, I just feel that the situation of the restaurant is not optimistic after what happened to Master Ximen. Miss Caiyue is alone and it may be difficult for her to gain a foothold in the restaurant. If something happens again, wouldn't it be..."

"What you said makes sense. That's why the account book is the best proof."

"Since Caiyue has agreed to this, we should have more confidence in her."

"Uh-huh!"

"Madam, you are right!" Cuizhu's remaining concerns completely disappeared, and she believed that what her wife had said was absolutely correct.

As soon as she returned to the Marquis's Mansion, she saw the butler waiting there. Upon seeing her come back, he quickly came forward to greet her.

"Madam, the Marquis asked you to come to the old lady's courtyard if you come back."

"What did you say?"

"This..." The housekeeper seemed embarrassed. When Ye Qingluo asked, he looked around and whispered, "Madam, I heard that Master Ximen will be executed in half a month. Madam Du came again today, and now he is lying in the old lady's courtyard and has not woken up yet."

"Execute..."

Ye Qingluo narrowed her eyes slightly. No wonder Chu Beiyu was so anxious to leave at that time.

Old Madam Du has always valued Ximen Ao more than her life, so this is going to cause a big trouble.

Ye Qingluo responded and brought Cuizhu to the old lady's courtyard.

Chu Beiyu was standing there anxiously. When he heard footsteps approaching, he looked over there.

When he saw Ye Qingluo, his face darkened and he opened his mouth with strong condemnation.

"Ye Qingluo, my mother and aunt are still lying here unconscious, and Ximen Ao will be executed in half a month. Are you satisfied with this result?!"
