"Are you the abbot of this temple?"
Seeing the person coming, Old Madam Chu stepped forward and asked.
"That's right. Madam Chu was originally a monk in the temple, but she was expelled from the temple some time ago because she violated the precepts. But I never expected that she would do such a thing."
"This shouldn't be the case. I clearly remember someone reporting it..." Su Wan was extremely angry when he saw the abbot here speaking for Ye Qingluo.
Even if the plan fails, she can still throw some dirty water on Ye Qingluo.
As long as the old lady had some grudge in her heart, her plan would have been successful. Who would have thought that this would happen?
Just when Su Wan was still unwilling to give up, a monk stood up and pointed at the maid who had just reported the incident and said, "Abbot, I seem to remember this person wandering around the temple. I thought it was strange at the time, so I paid more attention to her. I happened to see her talking to this woman."
"As for Yuan Yi, I'm afraid he is also... in the same group with them."
The monk's words instantly cleared up the confusion present, and Ye Qingluo looked in the direction of Old Madam Chu.
"Mother, is everything clear now?"
"As for the county lady...as for the maid Qiao'er, do you have anything to explain as her master?"
Seeing that the situation was not favorable to him, Su Wan panicked instantly, "Madam, this matter really has nothing to do with me. I don't know why it turned out like this."
"Qiao'er, you are really brave. The lesson you learned last time wasn't enough, and you dare to do it again!"
"Do you know how much impact this will have on your sister's reputation?"
Su Wan scolded harshly.
"Alright, let's deal with this matter when we get back. What happened today is really ridiculous."
Old Madam Chu said unhappily that even though the incident happened to a maid and involved the Marquis's Mansion, it would not be a good idea to make a big deal out of it in front of outsiders.
"Mother, since these people intend to frame me, if we let them go, there's no guarantee that something else won't happen."
Su Wan's heart tightened, and she felt a little nervous for some reason. "Sister, what do you mean?"
"Before this, I have asked someone to invite the authorities. Wouldn't it be clear if we interrogate the person thoroughly?"
At this time, two guards came in. After paying their respects, they took Qiao'er, the man, and the maid who had reported the matter away.
Su Wan was immediately annoyed when she saw this situation, and asked Ye Qingluo, "Sister, Qiao'er is someone who is by my side after all, so if you want to deal with her, shouldn't you just tell me?"
Ye Qingluo's smile did not reach his eyes, "County Lady, are you admitting that today's incident has something to do with you?"
"Ye..." Su Wan was about to get angry, but seeing so many eyes staring at her, she quickly changed her words, "Sister, you are wrongly accusing me."
"Since it is an injustice and there are doubts about the matter, it is most appropriate to let the government investigate."
"The county lady's excuses will only make people think that this is not something a maid can do."
Ye Qingluo's words instantly rendered Su Wan, who was still trying to defend himself, speechless.
She clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves. If her eyes could kill, she would have wanted to cut the person who spoke into pieces.
Even if he felt resentment, he could only watch Qiao'er being taken away like this.
"Madam, there happens to be a sutra chanting and prayer ceremony in the temple today. I wonder if you are interested in this?" The abbot took the initiative to step forward and asked Madam Chu.
When Old Madam Chu saw people being taken away, she didn't want to pursue the matter further since the fault was not with Ye Qingluo.
Hearing the abbot's words, he readily agreed. After Madam Chu left with the abbot, Su Wan deliberately slowed down his pace.
Seeing that only Ye Qingluo and the maidservant beside her were left around, there was a strong sense of dissatisfaction in his voice.
"Ye Qingluo, what on earth do you want to do?"
When Cuizhu saw Su Wan coming forward, she subconsciously protected Ye Qingluo.
Ye Qingluo was not in a hurry and met Su Wan's gaze, "Su Wan, why don't you even call me sister now that the old lady is not here?"
"I remember that you would rather cause trouble than not accept this title." Ye Qingluo sneered, his tone full of sarcasm.
"And put away those inferior ideas of yours, or you will suffer the consequences in the end!"
Su Wan wanted to say something, but when he heard Ye Qingluo's last words, he was shocked by the aura she exuded.
It was not until Ye Qingluo and the people around him moved away for some distance that he came to his senses.
"Madam, you should have exposed the county lady's true colors in front of the old lady!"
Cuizhu thought about what had just happened. Even though she had asked the government officials to take Qiao'er away, she still felt unsatisfied.
It hasn’t been long since the last incident, and these people still dare to come up with such an idea!
"No hurry. Su Wan is a county lady after all. Even if it is confirmed that this matter is related to her, the old lady will at least give her some face."
"But Qiao'er, who is beside her, is probably in trouble. Do you think she will say anything when she is interrogated?"
"Whether Su Wan shows up or not, it will have a certain impact." Ye Qingluo lowered his eyes, "This county lady is so eager to enter the Marquis' Mansion and replace me."
"I wonder what other tricks she has."
After having a vegetarian meal, chanting sutras and praying for blessings, the old lady decided to set off for home when it was almost sunset.
After what happened with Qiao'er, Su Wan became much more obedient and stayed closely beside Old Madam Chu.
When preparing to set off, Madam Chu somehow said to Ye Qingluo, "Ye, you and your people go first. The county lady and I have something else to say."
"Mother, are you sure you want to do this?"
As Ye Qingluo was speaking, he happened to see Su Wan's contemptuous look towards him. There was no need to think about why Old Madam Chu acted like that. It was probably because of something Su Wan said.
Seeing that Ye Qingluo remained unmoved after she spoke, Madam Chu said in dissatisfaction, "Ye, is it possible that my words are not clear enough, or do you think I can no longer control you?"
Even though the affair of stealing someone had nothing to do with Ye Qingluo's matter, Madam Chu always felt that something was wrong regarding the matter of the evil star.
A series of ridiculous things can happen when you go out of the temple to pray for blessings. What the monk said is indeed true.
Ye Qingluo is a disaster!
After returning home, she would discuss this matter with Bei Yu and divorce this man as soon as possible.
When it comes to knowledge and manners, Ye Qingluo is no match for the county lady next to him.
"Sister, you can rest assured that I'm here to accompany the old lady." Su Wan spoke at the right time.
Seeing that the two had talked to this point, Ye Qingluo did not refuse and got on the carriage directly.
"Madam, what are you..."
The carriage moved slowly, Cuizhu followed Ye Qingluo, and for a moment she couldn't understand her wife's intention.
Even though she was a maid, she felt angry just by looking at the smug look of the county lord, but her wife didn't seem to care about these things.
Just as Cuizhu was about to speak, there was a bumpy sound from the carriage. Ye Qingluo's face changed and his expression instantly became solemn.
"Do not talk!"
