"Ah?" Cuizhu widened her eyes. Could it be that the lady wanted to divorce the Marquis?

This sounds a bit too "exciting".

If it were before, Cuizhu would probably have thought that her wife was just too sad.

But now she felt that such a thing might actually happen.

Hurt your husband, just thinking about it is shocking.

"Do you have any more questions?"

Seeing Cuizhu standing there blankly with the account book in her arms, Ye Qingluo asked.

"No...no!"

Cuizhu shook her head, her eyes full of admiration, "Madam, no matter what decision you make, I will support you!"

The corners of Ye Qingluo's lips curled up. She had to say that the green bamboo was quite cute.

"Keep these account books safe, they will be of great use in the future."

"Yes!"

Cuizhu responded and then left the room.

The moment the door was closed, Ye Qingluo half leaned back in his chair, thinking about what had happened in the past two days.

Even if she could reach a cooperation with that prince with her current status, it would still be far from enough.

Today, Chu Beiyu dared to tear up the divorce agreement and IOU into pieces in front of him. Who knows what he will do in the future.

Especially in their eyes, I am just a "woman" who "needs to rely on her husband's family" to survive.

If you don't want to be controlled by others, you must have more power in your hands.

Cooperating with the Prince Regent was one thing, and taking back the two shops was another.

What belongs to her, don’t even think about taking it away!

The next morning, Ye Qingluo told Cuizhu to pay attention to the movements in the mansion, while she went to Huichun Hall.

As soon as we arrived at Huichun Hall, we saw a large crowd of people there.

These people lined up in a long queue and entered Huichun Hall one after another. Ye Qingluo frowned. Didn’t she tell the people in the hall yesterday to close the door and not provide medical treatment or dispense medicine to the public for the next few days?

But what happened after just one night?

When he was confused, Ye Qingluo saw the man standing in the front, Zhong Huai.

How dare this man come back!

Zhong Huai stood at the front with a gloomy servant behind him. "Today is the day of Huichuntang's free clinic. We are doing a good deed. Why are you looking so gloomy?"

"Madam said that the shop will be closed for a few days, and you..."

The servant wanted to say that Zhong Huai was no longer the shopkeeper, and what's more, the owner of the shop was the lady, who would definitely be unhappy if she knew about this.

Before he could finish his words, he heard Zhong Huai's disdainful expression, "Don't talk to me about Madam, the old lady also knows about the free clinic."

"Even if the shop owner is the lady's, so what? When she is in front of the old lady, she still has to call her mother!"

Zhong Huai raised his head with a proud look on his face. His coming back was the best example.

As long as he can get the old lady's support, what does it matter even if the lady has objections?

"So you are fearless?"

Ye Qingluo's voice suddenly rang out, and Zhong Huai, who was feeling proud, trembled all over. After seeing who was coming, he quickly calmed down.

"It turns out to be Madam..." Looking at the hypocritical smile on Zhong Huai's face, Ye Qingluo snorted coldly.

The servant hurried forward and said, "Madam, I have been following your orders, but Zhong... Manager Zhong came here early this morning with several people, saying that he was following the old lady's orders."

"And..." Feeling Zhong Huai's sharp gaze, the servant's voice became increasingly uncertain.

Ye Qingluo's face darkened slightly. He took a step forward and used his body to block Zhong Huai's gaze.

"Keep talking!"

"Manager Zhong said that this is just for free consultation and he has no other purpose. Anyone who has objections will be offending the old lady."

The boy's face turned red, as if he was going to tell everything without hesitation.

Manager Zhong was so angry at the servant's behavior that he gnashed his teeth. This damn guy actually dared to betray him.

Now that he has the old lady's support, he is not afraid of any lady. But this servant is in trouble. Once Ye Qingluo leaves, let's see how he teaches this bastard a lesson!

When Zhong Huai was angry, he heard Ye Qingluo ask, "Zhong Huai, if I remember correctly, you have been kicked out."

"Who gave you the courage to turn back?"

With a backer, Zhong Huai was not afraid of Ye Qingluo at all. He showed a distressed look and sighed, "Madam, you don't know that the reason I came back was entirely because of the old lady's wishes."

"The old lady also said that it is not enough to have only one doctor in the clinic, so I sent someone to invite two more doctors, and let them provide free medical treatment to the people nearby today."

"Madam, this free clinic is a good thing to do for the good, don't you have any objection to it?"

Zhong Huai seemed to have guessed that Ye Qingluo would not dare to say much. As long as she was dissatisfied, she would offend not only Old Madam Chu, but also the people around her.

He heard that the second daughter of the Shangshu Mansion was about to marry into the family, and it was uncertain who would be in charge of the Marquis' Mansion in the future!

Ye Qingluo sneered. How could he not understand what this person was planning?

Although this free medical treatment does not cost any money, once it comes to issues such as getting medicine, all these miscellaneous expenses combined will be more expensive than ordinary medical treatment.

But people often think that free is the best, but ignore the costs behind it.

She glanced at the servant beside her and saw that he was looking at her anxiously. She asked, "Have you processed the herbs?"

The servant nodded and replied to Ye Qingluo in a low voice, "Yesterday, Madam, as you instructed, I and other people in the clinic cleaned out the rotten and moldy parts of the medicinal materials. I checked the remaining parts and found no problems."

"Where's the ledger?"

"It has been sorted out. Madam, do you want to take a look?"

"Ah."

"Follow me in."

Ye Qingluo responded and went straight inside with the servant.

Zhong Huai originally thought that Ye Qingluo would use tough measures to stop the free clinic like she did yesterday. If she dared to do so, he would immediately go to the old lady.

But who would have thought that this time Ye Qingluo not only did not stop him, but even chose to ignore him!

"Go and prepare the account book, I'll come right after."

While Ye Qingluo was giving instructions to the servant, he was also observing the treatment of the three doctors. Their attitude was indeed much more serious than before. As for the prescriptions they wrote, most of them were for strengthening the body and would not have much impact on the body.

In this case, Ye Qingluo didn't care anymore. As long as he didn't make huge profits from rotten and moldy medicinal materials, everything would be fine.

As for Zhong Huai, who was using the name of free clinic and kept calling her old lady, he should have known the consequences of doing so!

It's not a pleasant feeling to shoot yourself in the foot...

When Ye Qingluo entered the innermost room, the servant had already placed the account books neatly on the table and handed her a cup of tea, saying respectfully, "Madam, these account books show the profits and expenditures of the clinic in the past year. Please take a look."

"It's just..." The servant paused and asked Ye Qingluo with trepidation, "Madam, are you really not going to stop Manager Zhong's actions? I'm worried that the remaining medicinal materials in the clinic can't support the speed at which the three doctors can prescribe medicine."
