Just when Ye Qingluo was thinking about what to say, he heard Cuizhu's voice coming from outside.

Especially the word "My Lord" that she called out at the end, which was obviously a reminder to herself.

Now that Chu Beiyu is here, things will become more interesting.

Madam Chu was angry and obviously didn't notice the movement outside. Ye Qingluo raised the corners of her lips and said to Madam Chu, "Mother, calm down. I'll go and do this."

Chu Beiyu happened to hear Ye Qingluo's words when he entered the room and was a little surprised for a moment.

Could it be that this woman has changed her personality? Even her voice has become more gentle.

But this woman should have done this a long time ago!

Chu Beiyu was just thinking about it when he heard Ye Qingluo say again, "I will find a way to enter the palace right now and tell the emperor that the evidence from that day is not true, and ask him to release cousin Ximen."

After hearing what Ye Qingluo said, Mrs. Chu's expression looked much better.

"That's better. If that's the case, why don't you hurry up..."

When Chu Beiyu heard these words, he strode forward and said, "Where are you going?"

"You're not allowed to go there!"

Chu Beiyu said angrily. He had just returned home when he heard people in the mansion say that his mother had not eaten for a whole day, and then he heard that Ye Qingluo had also gone there.

Out of concern, he decided to come over and take a look. Chu Beiyu was glad that he came, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble would have arisen.

Chu Beiyu didn't care whether his words would upset his mother or not, and asked Ye Qingluo, "Ye Qingluo, you just stay in the mansion and don't go anywhere!"

Ye Qingluo's eyes revealed a hint of cunning, and he said to Madam Chu in a rather regretful tone, "Mother, you have also seen that it was the Marquis who did not allow me to save cousin Ximen. There was nothing I could do about it."

"Bei Yu you..."

Old Madam Chu was shaking with anger. She never expected that the root of the problem lay with her own son.

He raised his hand and slapped Chu Beiyu, until the nanny beside him exclaimed.

"Madam, the Marquis's face..."

When she saw a few more red marks on Chu Beiyu's face, Mrs. Chu finally came to her senses from her anger, feeling distressed and regretful.

"Bei Yu, mother didn't mean it just now..."

"What are you still standing there for? Go get some medicine!"

In desperation, Old Madam Chu yelled at everyone present.

Chu Beiyu was silent for a long time. When he was about to say something to Old Madam Chu, he realized that Ye Qingluo was still here.

"You go back first, and..." Chu Beiyu added, "You are not allowed to plead for Ximen Ao."

Ye Qingluo responded quickly and left quickly. It seemed that face was more important to Old Madam Chu.

She wanted to know what this bastard would do next.

After Ye Qingluo left, Chu Beiyu said to Madam Chu, "Mother, you are too reckless in this matter. How could you let Ye Qingluo enter the palace?"

"Do you know how serious the consequences of doing this will be?"

Madam Chu was at her wit's end. After hearing her son complain like this, she felt helpless. "Consequences! It's useless for all of you to keep telling me these things."

"Bei Yu, I have already promised you that Aunt Du will find a way to rescue your cousin. I also made it very clear a few days ago. Didn't you agree to it?"

"As long as Ye Qingluo goes, everyone will be happy. Isn't that good?" Old Madam Chu questioned Chu Beiyu with every word. She really couldn't understand what her son was thinking to actually stop this matter.

"Mother, if Ye Qingluo goes, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor. Not only Ximen Ao, but also the entire Marquis' Mansion will suffer the consequence of being executed."

Originally, he didn't want to make things so clear so as not to burden his mother, but now if some things are not made clear, it will sooner or later lead to disaster.

Old Madam Chu opened her eyes wide, took a few steps back, and there was a hint of fear in her eyes.

"How can it be so serious?"

"But I can't explain what happened to your aunt Du..." Old Madam Chu was very distressed. It was true that she valued her reputation, but she absolutely did not want to risk the lives of her own family members.

Chu Beiyu sighed, helplessly, "Mother, don't worry too much. I have entered the palace today. I have been away on military campaigns for many years, so the emperor will at least give me some face."

"Beiyu, do you mean that Ao'er can be released?"

"The evidence has been confirmed. All I can do is save his life. As for the rest..."

"Mother, do you really want to take your son with you?"

Seeing that his mother was not satisfied with the result, Chu Beiyu asked back.

Madam Chu said nothing more. "Forget it. As long as your cousin can save his life, I can report to your Aunt Du."

"It's just that your wife is really lawless!" Old Madam Chu took Chu Beiyu's hand and asked, "Beiyu, when are you going to marry the county lady?"

Chu Beiyu didn't know how to answer for a moment. He wanted to marry Su Wan as soon as possible, but when the salary for the second half of the year was gone, he would have to give away the remaining money.

He can't get by these days...

"I will as soon as possible."

Old Madam Chu was now much more satisfied. She felt annoyed just by looking at Ye Qingluo's behavior every day.

A few days later, Ye Qingluo was looking around in the yard when he saw Cuizhu coming over with a wooden box.

"Madam, this was given to me by a young servant when I came back. The servant said that the things in this wooden box were a little gift from his master. Madam, please accept it."

"His master?"

Ye Qingluo hesitated, then opened the wooden box, only to see that it was filled with all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry, very shiny.

Cuizhu couldn't help but exclaimed when she saw this scene, "Wow, so beautiful!"

"Madam, look, there's a note here." Cuizhu noticed the object mixed in with the jewelry, picked it up and read it aloud, "If you don't like it, throw it away?"

"Ah." Cuizhu was even more shocked. The person who could come up with so many rare treasures must be someone extraordinary. Why would he add this sentence: If you don't like it, just throw it away?

"show me."

Ye Qingluo took it with her hand. Cuizhu asked in confusion, "Madam, do you know the owner of this gift?"

Looking at the words above, Ye Qingluo chuckled, and then thought of Yunzhou's words that day. He felt that he was probably the only one who could do such a thing.

It's really boring...

"Oh, by the way, Madam, I have one more thing to tell you. Ximen Ao was changed from being executed to being exiled thousands of miles away, and paraded through the streets for several days. I heard that those people had old grudges against Ximen Ao, and those who were dissatisfied with him were throwing rotten leaves and rotten eggs at Ximen Ao's prison car."

Although she didn't see it with her own eyes, just hearing these words made her feel very happy.

"Ye Qingluo, I don't know why the people in your courtyard like to gossip so much."

Chu Beiyu walked over with a sullen face, his eyes full of displeasure.
