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

"The old lady..."

After hearing this, Su Wan burst into tears and fell into Chu Beiyu's arms.

"My Lord, we encountered bandits on our way back. The old lady was kidnapped by the bandits in order to save me."

Chu Beiyu paused while holding Su Wan's hand, his body stiffened, "You...what did you say?"

"My mother was..."

"My Lord, it's my fault that I failed to protect the old lady."

Chu Beiyu was in mixed feelings when he saw Su Wan covered in wounds, obviously having fallen from somewhere.

"Come here, ask the doctor to treat the county lady's injuries."

Chu Beiyu waved his hand and said to the servants present.

After giving the order, he realized something was wrong. He looked at Su Wan and asked with patience, "Wan'er, where is Ye Qingluo? Why didn't she come back with you?"

"I won't be kidnapped by the robbers like my mother..."

Su Wan's eyes were red and swollen from crying. She felt very aggrieved when she heard Chu Beiyu's question. "A lot of things happened in the temple today. I don't know why my sister left first with her people."

"Logically, you should be back by now..."

"It's Ye Qingluo again!"

Chu Beiyu clenched his fists and gnashed his teeth in anger. Even though the money was borrowed, it made him change his opinion of this woman. But he didn't expect that she would abandon everyone and leave alone.

hateful! hateful!

"My Lord, the most urgent thing is to find the whereabouts of the old lady first."

The attendant following Chu Beiyu spoke up and asked Su Wan with doubt, "County Lady, do you still remember where that place is?"

"Remember, I can take you there."

Su Wan struggled to break free from Chu Beiyu's arms. After taking a few steps, her body was about to fall forward, but was firmly grasped by Chu Beiyu again.

"Wan'er, how can you go there in this state? Just tell me the place and I will find a way."

As he was speaking, he suddenly heard the butler running in, "My Lord, Cuizhu, who was with the Madam, is back."

"You're back just in time!" Chu Beiyu's face was gloomy. He just wanted to ask this vicious woman what her intention was!

In a short while, Cuizhu was brought over and fell to her knees before Chu Beiyu could say anything.

"My Lord, please save my wife."

"Didn't Ye Qingluo leave alone? Why talk about rescuing her?" Chu Beiyu was a little confused. Su Wan hurried forward and saw that the maid was in a mess and what she said when she came back. It seemed that the matter was done.

Cuizhu then told Chu Beiyu about the encounter with the man in black. Chu Beiyu frowned and was about to speak when he heard Su Wan say, "Cuizhu, didn't you and your wife leave us behind? How did you meet the man in black?"

"If that's the case, how come you're not hurt at all?"

"My Lord, I think there is something fishy about this matter. The old lady is already in poor health, and coupled with the robbery, if we don't rescue her early, I'm afraid..."

"Report!"

"My Lord, someone outside has sent a letter saying that the old lady is in their hands. If you don't take out 20,000 taels and send it to a mountain not far from the capital before dawn, they will kill the old lady."

"That person also said that the letter was written by their master."

"Bastard thing!"

Chu Beiyu opened the letter, but his eyes widened when he saw its contents and the handwriting.

This is Ye Qingluo’s handwriting!

He had just borrowed 20,000 taels from this vicious woman not long ago, and he still couldn't understand what she said afterwards about not regretting it.

This letter! This kidnapping was planned by Ye Qingluo!

Chu Beiyu tore the letter into pieces and let out a roar.

"Ye Qingluo, if anything happens to my mother, I will not forgive you!!"
