The mistress of a marquis's family divorced her husband and married someone else: the scumbag
Chapter 87 Self-deception
Su Wan's heart skipped a beat, but she saw Ye Qingluo's eyes were fixed on her, as if he could see through her inner panic.
She tried to keep herself calm and pretended to be surprised and said to Ye Qingluo, "Sister, how could I have guessed such a thing?"
"I didn't expect that after the robbers, my sister would also have an accident. I thought my sister left before the old lady and I, so nothing happened."
"Speaking of robbers..." Ye Qingluo glanced at the man walking towards Su Wan from behind, and said faintly, "I would like to ask the county lady how she could leave the old lady alone under such circumstances. Is there any accomplice?"
As soon as these words came out, Su Wan's face turned extremely ugly. How could she not hear that this bitch was doubting her.
"County Lady, the Marquis is here."
The maid beside her was the first to notice something was wrong and moved closer to Su Wan, speaking in a low voice.
Su Wan's expression changed, she suddenly covered her chest, took a few steps back unsteadily, and said with difficulty, "Sister, do you doubt me?"
"Shouldn't we be suspicious? County Princess..."
"enough!"
Chu Beiyu strode forward to interrupt Ye Qingluo, walked between the two of them and protected Su Wan behind him, his eyes full of impatience when he looked at Ye Qingluo.
"Ye Qingluo, I said this matter has nothing to do with Wan'er!"
"what on earth do you want!"
Chu Beiyu was extremely angry. He had just handed the letter to the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple and told him that Ye Qingluo was the murderer behind the scenes. However, not only did it have no effect, he was also ridiculed by the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple.
He said that even his own wife didn't believe him, and he brought up the fact that Ye Qingluo had taken care of his mother for three years and concluded that it was a frame-up.
This alone made him very angry. Ye Qingluo married into the mansion and became the mistress of the Marquis's residence. As a daughter-in-law, isn't it her duty to be filial to her mother-in-law?
What is there to praise about this?
"Wan'er, are you okay?" Seeing Su Wan holding her chest and looking uncomfortable, Chu Beiyu asked nervously.
Su Wan shook her head, "My Lord, it's fine. The robbery happened suddenly, so it's normal for my sister to have doubts."
Seeing these two people being so affectionate with each other, Ye Qingluo sighed.
"My Lord, sometimes deceiving yourself is not a good thing."
"Or do you think you can use him so much that you don't mind him targeting your mother? That's right, you've done the same thing before."
Thinking back to the time when Chu Beiyu tried every possible means to get close to her father, she even suspected that his initial rescue was a deliberate trick.
"Well, since the Marquis is willing to do so, let's continue."
Ye Qingluo walked around the two of them and left directly. Su Wan was so angry that her teeth were itching, but she saw that Chu Beiyu just had a gloomy face and had no intention of stopping Ye Qingluo from leaving.
"My Lord, my sister..."
After Ye Qingluo left, Chu Beiyu suddenly let go of Su Wan's hand and looked at her with a little more suspicion.
Although he didn't want to admit some of the things he said, there was no truth in what Ye Qingluo said.
Whether it was the robbers or the men in black, there were too many suspicious points pointing to Su Wan.
A maid alone cannot do such a thing.
Chu Beiyu took a deep breath, was silent for a long time, and then asked Su Wan, "Wan'er, you told me that you really didn't know about this incident, right?"
Su Wan's pupils shrank and her heart beat faster. Chu Beiyu was doubting himself!
Did Ye Qingluo say something to him?
"Of course, Lord Marquis, why do you ask that? I am the county lady, and my father is the minister. I will marry you in a few days. In the future, Lord Marquis, your mother will be mine."
"How could I possibly do such a thing?"
Su Wan first brought up her own identity, and then mentioned the Shangshu Mansion. Seeing that Chu Beiyu was still unmoved, she said aggrievedly, "My Lord, you know that in the military camp..."
"All right!"
Hearing the word "military camp", Chu Beiyu noticed that the maid behind Su Wan interrupted her hurriedly, and her voice became a little softer, "Why mention those things? In this matter, I also believe that you are innocent."
"It's just that Ye Qingluo brought his mother back, and the Dali Temple Minister mentioned Qiao'er, plus some evidence, so I asked this question."
Su Wan opened her eyes wide and asked almost subconsciously, "My Lord, you said that the old lady was brought back by my sister?"
……
At a rockery not far from here, Ye Qingluo heard the conversation between the two clearly.
It seems that Chu Beiyu doesn't completely believe Su Wan, but why did he change his words? And what about the military camp that Su Wan mentioned...
Thinking about the cooperation that Su Yun mentioned to her that day, Ye Qingluo had a strong intuition that her father's affairs might be related to the Shangshu Mansion.
Chu Beiyu knew this to a large extent. Ye Qingluo clenched her fists. Since the emperor had expressed his position that day, as long as she found evidence to prove her father's innocence, she could clear herself of the grievances.
No matter whether it is Shangshu Mansion or Chu Beiyu, she will dig out the truth behind it bit by bit!
When she returned to the yard, Cuizhu in the house heard the noise and ran out. When she saw Ye Qingluo, she was overjoyed.
"lady?!"
"it's me."
"Woo, woo, I'm so glad you're okay."
Cuizhu's voice was filled with tears. God knows how she spent that night.
"Is that the prince you went to see?"
Cuizhu nodded in shame, "Madam, when I returned to the mansion, the county lady mentioned that this matter was related to you, and the county lady even warned me not to meddle in other people's business."
"I really had no other choice, and I remembered that His Royal Highness the Regent had come to the restaurant, so I took the risk and went there."
"It was my own will that this servant acted. Please punish me, Madam."
"You're worried about my safety, what's wrong with that."
Ye Qingluo soothed him, "You just said Su Wan warned you, did she make things difficult for you?"
"Not really. After all, this is in the mansion. I don't think the county lady would dare to make a big fuss."
"But I dare to conclude that this matter is closely related to the county lady!"
Previously, Ye Qingluo's life or death was uncertain, and she had been worried and had no time to think about anything else. Now that she saw her wife return, thinking about what had happened further confirmed her guess.
"Oh, by the way, Madam, this was sent by the eldest lady of the Shangshu Mansion a few hours ago."
Cuizhu handed a rolled note to Ye Qingluo.
Ye Qingluo took it, read the contents, and then said to Cuizhu, "Let's go. I guess you haven't had breakfast yet. Come with me to the teahouse to have some snacks."
"Ah?" Cuizhu was stunned and saw Ye Qingluo turn around and quickly follow him.
Wasn’t my wife reading the note sent by the eldest daughter of the Shangshu Mansion? Why did she think of the snacks in the teahouse? Could the note be related to this?
