Su Wan's heart skipped a beat. Seeing Chu Beiyu looking at her gloomily, she felt unsure for a moment.

"Master Hou..."

After leaving the house and entering the courtyard, Chu Beiyu asked Su Wan in a dissatisfied tone, "Wan'er, you know very well that the execution was ordered by the emperor, and no one can influence it at all."

"Why did you tell mother and Aunt Du all that?"

"And the matter of the restaurant..." Chu Beiyu looked at Su Wan. It was said that Qiao'er was responsible for Zhang Jiu's incident, so it was probably related to Su Wan, the boss.

It's just that there are some things he can't say in front of outsiders.

Su Wan saw that something was not right, and cried to Chu Beiyu, "My Lord, you saw what happened to the two old ladies just now. If they continue like this, they might faint again. Besides, the evidence was indeed provided by my sister. I think as long as my sister is willing to come forward and say that there is a deviation in the evidence, things will definitely turn around."

"By then, as long as she is not executed, Madam Du will definitely not make a fuss anymore. As for the matter of the restaurant..."

Su Wan knew that she couldn't hide it any longer, so she could only lower her head and wipe her tears sadly.

"This is Wan'er's fault. I just wanted to help you, Lord Marquis, so I had no choice but to do this. I didn't expect Zhang Jiu to take the initiative and use this method."

"My Lord, even if you want to punish Wan'er, I will accept it. But Huichuntang has already fallen into my sister's hands. If the restaurant is still like this, I'm afraid she will be even more..."

Su Wan seemed to be hesitant to speak. Chu Beiyu frowned when he heard this. What Su Wan said was also what he was worried about.

"Okay, this incident won't happen again." Chu Beiyu's voice softened a lot. He held Su Wan in his arms and comforted her softly.

Just then, the housekeeper's urgent voice came from outside.

"Master Hou, it's not good!"

"What happened again?" Chu Beiyu looked dissatisfied when he was interrupted.

"Someone is coming from the Shangshu Mansion."

"what?"

The first person to panic was Su Wan, "But my father is here in person?"

"No, the person who came is the steward of the Shangshu Mansion, but..."

Chu Beiyu breathed a sigh of relief, but the words of a butler could not cause much trouble. Just when he wanted to comfort Su Wan, he heard the butler say, "The Yun Guards beside His Royal Highness the Regent are here too."

"They said...they said that we must watch the county lady and the people from the Shangshu Mansion apologize to the lady."

"Apologize...apologize..."

Su Wan's pupils shrank. She knew the housekeeper in the mansion very well. He would never come without the order of her father, Minister Su.

I originally thought that with Chu Beiyu covering for me, this matter could be covered up as much as possible, but now there are people around the Regent...

Su Wan inexplicably felt something was wrong...

Although Chu Beiyu sensed something was wrong, he did not dare to neglect the people around the prince.

"Tell me to summon Ye Qingluo to the main hall."

Chu Beiyu said this and left in a hurry, and Su Wan quickly followed him.

But when she arrived at the main hall, she found that in addition to the steward of the Shangshu Mansion and the regent's men, her elder sister Su Yun was also there. Why?

When this person was in the mansion, she never looked anyone in the eye, even when she was conferred the title of county lady. This time when she came, she was afraid that she would be ridiculed.

Just thinking about it makes me feel unlucky!

And the other side.

"Madam, the butler just came to tell me that the Marquis wants you to come to the main hall."

"Where is the housekeeper?"

"Waiting outside the hospital."

Ye Qingluo walked out and saw the housekeeper standing there. When he saw her, his face was full of smiles.

"My humble servant greets the Madam."

Ye Qingluo looked at him coldly and asked, "Who told me to go to the main hall?"

The housekeeper who was questioned by Ye Qingluo seemed guilty. He lowered his head and said weakly, "Reply... reply to Madam, it is the Marquis."

"So it was him... But I remember that the Marquis had just put me in solitary confinement a few hours ago. Why did he let me out now?"

"Butler, are you faking orders?"

The housekeeper looked terrified when he heard this, and quickly explained to Ye Qingluo, "Madam, I am really wronged. The confinement was indeed ordered by the Marquis."

"In that case, let Chu Beiyu tell me himself."

Ye Qingluo said coldly.

In the main hall, Yun Zhou was dissatisfied when he saw that Chu Beiyu was the only one who came.

"My Lord, where is Madam Ye? Why haven't I seen her?"

Although Yun Zhou is close to Ye Beimo, the aura he exudes should not be underestimated.

"I have asked someone to invite him, and he will come soon. However, I still don't understand one thing. When did His Royal Highness the Regent meet my wife?"

Chu Beiyu took a step forward and asked while avoiding other people as much as possible.

"My Lord, are you also asking about my master's private affairs?"

Chu Beiyu was stunned and denied it, "Guard Yun is joking. I definitely don't mean that."

"It better be so!"

But Su Wan wanted to get closer to Chu Beiyu but was stopped by Su Yun.

"Sister, what do you want to do?"

"Su Wan, father already knows about the restaurant and is extremely dissatisfied with your behavior. Thinking back to what happened that day, you actually moved directly into the Marquis' Mansion and were so eager to stay there before even entering the house. You really brought shame to the Shangshu Mansion!"

"You..." Su Wan's face turned red due to Su Yun's ridicule, and she tried to attract Chu Beiyu's attention.

But at this time, Chu Beiyu had Yun Zhou's words in his mind, and seeing that Ye Qingluo had not come yet, he was angry and anxious, and had no time to care about Su Wan.

"My Lord..." The housekeeper came back in a hurry. Chu Beiyu saw that he was alone and felt something was wrong. He pulled him aside and asked, "Where is Ye Qingluo?"

"Madam said that unless you go there in person, don't even think about her leaving the yard."

This Ye Qingluo!

Chu Beiyu was angry and anxious at the same time. It was obvious that these people were coming for Ye Qingluo.

If Ye Qingluo didn't show up at this time, who knows how much trouble would be waiting for him.

This woman was actually being petty with him at this time! !

In order to deal with it, Chu Beiyu could only patiently come to Ye Qingluo's yard.

As soon as he entered, he shouted inside, "Ye Qingluo, come out!"

"What advice do you have, Lord?"

When Chu Beiyu saw Ye Qingluo coming out slowly, he became even angrier. He was dealing with those things in the main hall, but this woman didn't take his words seriously at all.

He strode forward and gritted his teeth, "Ye Qingluo, I asked you to go to the main hall, why didn't you go!"

"You just have to go against me, don't you?"

"Isn't it your order to confine me, Lord?"

She sneered and met Chu Beiyu's gaze without any fear. Seeing his clenched fists, she asked, "What?"

"It's only been a few hours since the order was issued, why are you suddenly going back on your word?"

"Chu Beiyu, do you really think I can come when you call me and go when you dismiss me?"
