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

Seeing the person coming, Cuizhu subconsciously closed the wooden box containing the jewels, and then bowed in the direction of Chu Beiyu, "My Lord."

"Cuizhu, put these things away first."

Ye Qingluo winked at Cuizhu.

Cuizhu quickly held the wooden box in front of her. The treasures inside were very rare and she couldn't let other people see it, so as to avoid having some inappropriate thoughts.

But this action just caught Chu Beiyu's attention, and he asked Cuizhu, "What do you have in here?"

"Why, when did the Marquis become so interested in what's going on here?"

Ye Qingluo asked back, Cuizhu left quickly upon seeing this, and when Chu Beiyu looked again, she had disappeared, feeling inexplicably angry.

He stared at the woman in front of him, and became more suspicious because of this incident.

"Ye Qingluo, are you hiding something from me?"

"This will cause a lot of trouble. Do you want to listen, Lord?"

"I don't think the Marquis would be interested either." Ye Qingluo said again.

After listening to Ye Qingluo's subsequent words, Chu Beiyu's anger subsided a lot.

This woman just likes to attract attention in this way.

Thinking of this, Chu Beiyu's face calmed down a lot, "Who said that I am not interested."

"Ximen Ao's death sentence was changed from execution to exile. Was it because of the favor that the Marquis asked for?"

Chu Beiyu was stunned, with an awkward look on his face, "So what if it is."

Ye Qingluo made a sound of mockery, "It can be said that the Marquis is really willing to risk his life for his family."

"Let me think about it. My Lord, you can't use your military exploits to change the emperor's mind."

Chu Beiyu, whose thoughts were guessed by Ye Qingluo, felt a little embarrassed.

"Ye Qingluo, you don't have to talk to me in this manner. I am the one who made the military achievements. What I do has nothing to do with you."

"In that case, why did the Marquis come to my place? You shouldn't go and share this good news with mother."

"Okay, why do you act like this every time I come, Ye Qingluo? Even if you are angry, you have been angry for too long."

He has already taken the initiative to lower his head, this woman is being too pretentious.

"If you have anything to say, just tell me, my Lord."

"Now that you have taken over the restaurant, can you take out some money from it?"

"wait."

Ye Qingluo said this and walked into the house. Chu Beiyu was a little puzzled, but then he remembered that she didn't refuse directly.

I guess she went to get some money for herself. Fortunately, this woman knows the importance of things.

But after a while, Ye Qingluo came out with a few account books and handed them to Chu Beiyu.

"My Lord, if you want silver, look for yourself."

"what is this?"

Chu Beiyu took the account book and was shocked when he saw the numbers on it.

"How...how could this happen?"

"The restaurant only has one hundred taels now?"

"To be exact, there is not even a hundred taels left." Ye Qingluo replied, "Ximen Ao has been doing evil over the years, and he even robbed a lot of silver, and he used your name. The prosperity you see in the restaurant is just superficial."

When Chu Beiyu heard these words, he felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.

No wonder Ximen Ao repeatedly stopped me at that time and even hid these things, and he even used military merits for the so-called "reputation"!

Chu Beiyu's face turned pale and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

Seeing that the account book issue had been resolved, Ye Qingluo said helplessly to Chu Beiyu, "My Lord, if you want silver, I'm afraid I can't help you."

"If the restaurant doesn't work, what about Huichuntang and other places?"

Chu Beiyu still refused to give up. "I have promised the Minister that I will marry the county lady soon. This matter cannot be delayed any longer."

"You are a woman, and you don't need much silver on a daily basis. Instead of keeping it in your hands, you might as well give it to me."

Chu Beiyu still felt a little guilty when he said these words.

"It's all about silver again." Ye Qingluo said disdainfully, "Come to think of it, the Marquis still hasn't paid me back the 40,000 taels he owes me."

"My Lord, when do you plan to show up?"

"Ye Qingluo, now is not the time to argue about these things. I am really in trouble this time."

Chu Beiyu said, "As my wife, the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, what's wrong with giving me some silver?"

Ye Qingluo smiled and said, you have to say Chu Beiyu is really confident that he would actually ask him for money to marry Su Wan.

To be able to do this, you have to be thick-skinned.

"How much silver does the Marquis want?"

Chu Beiyu was already prepared to take action if Ye Qingluo did not agree.

However, he didn't expect Ye Qingluo to directly ask him how much he wanted. Chu Beiyu smiled when he heard this.

"I won't make it too difficult for you. It only costs 20,000 taels."

"Twenty thousand taels is not much, my Lord, you are really capable of saying that."

Ye Qingluo teased, "I do have this silver, but I'm not giving it to you, I'm lending it to you."

"My Lord, if you can accept it, I will write you an IOU. If not, I won't get a cent."

Chu Beiyu was stunned. He never expected that Ye Qingluo would agree in this way.

"Ye Qingluo, do you really think I have no way to help you?"

"My Lord, you can use tough measures if you want, but you have to think carefully."

"I don't like to think about the consequences of doing things."

Threat!

Chu Beiyu was furious that he, a dignified marquis, had fallen to the point of being threatened by a woman!

But he really needed money now because of the rumor about the palace gate incident that day, and he didn't know where it came from.

It was said that he had angered His Royal Highness the Regent, and his colleagues who had previously spoken to him avoided him as much as possible.

These things are frustrating just thinking about them...

At the moment, only Ye Qingluo can solve his urgent problem.

Seeing Chu Beiyu standing there, still not making a decision, Ye Qingluo asked, "My Lord, do you want to lend this silver or not?"

"it is good!!"

"I'll borrow it!"

Chu Beiyu was completely at his wit's end. As long as he could get the money, it didn't matter even if it was borrowed.

Anyway, only the two of them know about this.

"Cuizhu, go get some paper and pen."

Ye Qingluo called out.

After Cuizhu put the wooden box away, he waited not far away. When he heard his wife calling him, he quickly took out paper and pen.

"My Lord, please write it."

Ye Qingluo reminded, and then looked at Cuizhu, "Is there a seal in the mansion?"

"Yes, I will go get it right away."

Chu Beiyu felt very aggrieved, "Ye Qingluo, do you have to be like this?"

Ye Qingluo was puzzled. "Isn't it the Marquis who needs the money? Why did it become me?"

"My lord, with these 20,000 taels you can marry the county princess, and maybe even get a dowry..." Ye Qingluo sighed.

Chu Beiyu held the pen tightly and wrote the IOU. At this time, Cuizhu had already brought the seal.

Ye Qingluo placed it in front of him, his brows curved, "My Lord, please press your handprint."
