"How dare you be so rebellious!"

Old Madam Chu was shaking with anger, as if she had not expected that Ye Qingluo, who was always well-behaved and gentle in the past, would say such a thing.

The maid who was supporting her said to Ye Qingluo while helping the old lady to calm down, "Madam, the doctor said that the old lady's body cannot be stimulated. If you do this, won't you..."

Ye Qingluo's eyes were cold, and he said in a light tone, "If that's the case, why don't you help your mother back home quickly to prevent her from getting upset."

The maid was speechless for a moment, but looking at the old lady's appearance, she knew that if she stayed any longer, who knows what might happen.

"Madam, I will help you back first."

Madam Chu was so angry that she kept knocking the cane in her hand. Even before she left, she did not forget to remind Ye Qingluo, "Ye, if you know what's good for you, please bring Zhong Huai back to me, and this matter will be over! If not, don't blame me for being rude!"

Seeing Old Madam Chu leave angrily, Ye Qingluo just felt ridiculous. She was still rude to her? All this had just begun!

"What are you still standing there for? Come into the house."

Ye Qingluo took a few steps and saw Cuizhu still standing there, so he reminded her.

inside the house.

"How's the thing I asked you to do going?"

Ye Qingluo poured himself a glass of water and asked slowly.

Cuizhu finally recovered from her shock and took out a few account books from the innermost cabinet and handed them to Ye Qingluo.

"Madam, these are the expenses of the mansion over the past three years. Please review them."

In order to make up for the deficit in the mansion over the past three years, the original owner had always had the habit of keeping accounts to facilitate checking for deficiencies and filling them up.

All the above expenses, big and small, were almost all taken out of the dowry.

"There are only 10,000 taels of silver left?"

Seeing to the end, Ye Qingluo was amazed. You know, the dowry that the original owner brought, in addition to the two shops, was a total of 50,000 taels of silver.

Now there is only 10,000 taels...

Cuizhu nodded, and felt even more sorry for her wife when this matter was mentioned.

These dowries were originally given by the general to his wife for support, and also served as her confidence in the future in the mansion.

But who would have thought that the whole house was filled with them, while the lady had never bought anything for him in these years.

"Originally there were 15,000 taels. Not long ago, the housekeeper took out 5,000 taels on the old lady's orders as a gift."

"Ridiculous! What kind of gift requires five thousand taels?"

"I asked about this, but the housekeeper said that this was the old lady's intention. If the gift is too small, it will inevitably cause gossip."

"I dare not ask more..."

Ha, they used her dowry to attack me. The people in this marquis’ mansion are as ungrateful as Chu Beiyu!

It’s also thanks to the original owner’s habit of keeping accounts, otherwise all this money would have been wasted.

Since these people are so unkind, she doesn’t suggest asking them to “spit out” all the expenses over the years!

……

"Old lady, please calm down first and don't hurt yourself because of these things."

"I am her mother-in-law after all, how dare she speak to me like that!"

The more Old Lady Chu thought about it, the angrier she became. Her daughter-in-law Ye Qingluo was not as considerate as the maidservant around her.

"Perhaps Madam is a little excited because of the news that the Marquis is going to marry a concubine. It will be fine after a few days!"

"Humph! Beiyu won the battle, and the second young lady of the Shangshu Mansion saved his life. Who dares to say anything bad?"

"The general who guards the country failed in his duty. The emperor was merciful by not executing him directly. Does Ye Qingluo really think she is still the glorious young lady she once was?"

"It would be fine if you didn't share your husband's worries, but you're still throwing a tantrum!"

"If this continues, it will be disastrous!"

Zhong Huai's matter and Ye Qingluo's change in attitude gave Old Madam Chu a great sense of crisis.

"Go and find the Marquis and tell him that I'm not feeling well!"

Old Madam Chu instructed the maid that she had to find a way to curb Ye Qingluo's arrogance!

After asking Cuizhu to put away the account book, Ye Qingluo began to plan for reopening the clinic.

Those servants and doctors could no longer be used, so Zhong Huai used rotten and moldy ones instead of normal medicinal materials. It was a blessing that nothing went wrong.

But she couldn't go on like this, she had to bring in a new group of people who were knowledgeable in medicine and capable of taking responsibility within a short period of time.

In addition, she had to make more plans for the days after the divorce.

Just as Ye Qingluo was thinking, hurried footsteps were heard outside.

"My Lord, you can't go in. Madam is still resting."

After Cuizhu's voice, Chu Beiyu walked in angrily, and the anger in his eyes seemed to burn her to ashes.

"Madam, the Marquis..."

Ye Qingluo raised his hand and motioned Cuizhu to wait outside first. It was obvious that Chu Beiyu came with bad intentions, and he was afraid that someone had whispered something in his ear again.

After Cuizhu left the house, Ye Qingluo spoke, "My Lord, why did you come here in such a hurry? I wonder what you can do for me?"

"Ye, I originally thought you were too sad about the general's incident, so you said something irresponsible! But who would have thought that you would be so presumptuous and make mother so angry that she is bedridden!"

"Or do you think you can change anything in this way?"

As Chu Beiyu spoke, his tone was filled with disgust.

"I really misjudged you!"

"So it's about my mother..." Ye Qingluo sneered. It must be said that these people acted very quickly. First, Zhong Huai complained, and now there came Old Madam Chu.

Are you trying to force her to compromise in this way?

It’s really ridiculous!

"Come with me now, kneel down at the head of your mother's bed and apologize to her!"

Chu Beiyu gave the order firmly without any room for negotiation.

"What if I don't?"

"What did you say?!"

Chu Beiyu was shocked by Ye Qingluo's attitude, and after the shock he felt more angry.

"Ye, you know that it was not easy for my mother to raise me since I was a child. Children should be filial to their elders, but you are so good, knowing that Zhong Huai is my mother's man, and still act like this!"

"If something happens to your mother, will you feel at ease?"

Ye Qingluo was amused by Chu Beiyu's words. What a guy, he was using filial piety to pressure her.

"Are you done?"

"what?"

Chu Beiyu originally thought that Ye Qingluo would look ashamed after hearing these words, but her expression remained calm from beginning to end, without any emotional fluctuations.

Ye Qingluo took a few steps closer to him and asked word by word, "My Lord, have you finished speaking?"

"Since you know that it was not easy for your mother to raise you, you should have stayed by her side and taken good care of her. But you have been gone for three years, leaving everyone in the house, including your mother, to me to take care of. And now you are asking me if I feel comfortable with this?"

"My Lord, don't you feel ashamed?"

Chu Beiyu was shocked and remained silent for a few seconds before he slowly said, "Are you blaming me for not caring about you enough?"

"From ancient times to the present, respecting elders is what the younger generation should do!"

"And you married into the Marquis's Mansion, not only are you calculative, but you also don't have the generosity of a mistress."

"Ye Qingluo, I really misjudged you!"
