Chu Beiyu lowered his eyes, no longer in the mood to listen to what his mother said next.

He didn't understand why this woman didn't explain if the robbery had nothing to do with Ye Qingluo at the beginning?

Was it disdain, or was there some other reason...either way, he had to find out clearly.

Chu Beiyu instructed the old woman in charge of taking care of Old Madam Chu, then turned around and left and went straight to Ye Qingluo's courtyard.

Inside Ye Qingluo's courtyard, everything was quiet. As soon as Chu Beiyu stepped in, he heard the door of the house creak open.

But the person who came out was not Ye Qingluo, but her maid Cuizhu.

"Where is your master?"

Chu Beiyu strode forward and asked with a bad face. Cuizhu looked at the person who came and hurriedly hid the note she had picked up from the table. She stepped back a few steps and stammered, "My Lord, Madam...she is still resting."

"Rest?" Chu Beiyu had led soldiers to the battlefield before, so the action that Cuizhu had just concealed naturally did not escape his eyes.

He pointed at Cuizhu's hand hidden behind her back and said coldly, "Take the thing out!"

"My Lord...this matter..."

Cuizhu lowered her head and took a step back when Chu Beiyu approached.

Madam is not at home right now. It would be terrible if the Marquis knew about it.

"Is there something wrong with your master?"

Cuizhu's panic made Chu Beiyu feel even more suspicious. When he was about to go into the house, Cuizhu blocked his way.

"My Lord, my Lady..."

"Get out of here!" Chu Beiyu's face was gloomy. He waved his hand, pushed Cuizhu away and went straight into the inner room.

When he saw the situation inside, Chu Beiyu rushed out angrily and questioned Cuizhu who almost fell down.

"Didn't you say your master is resting? Where is he?"

"How dare you deceive me!"

Cuizhu instinctively wanted to explain, but Chu Beiyu didn't even give her a chance to speak.

He originally thought that he had misunderstood Ye Qingluo about his mother's matter and wanted to come over and talk to her about it, but who would have thought that this woman would be so bold.

It's early morning now and the woman is not in the yard. Could it be that she hasn't returned home all night?

The feeling of being deceived and out of control made Chu Beiyu feel angry and fearful.

"Someone, go ask the guards guarding the gate to find out when Ye Qingluo left the house!"

"Yes!"

Not long after, someone nearby came to report, "My Lord, the guards there said they didn't see the Madam leave...leave the house!"

"You are such a good guy, Ye Qingluo!"

Chu Beiyu was furious. He picked up everything on the table and threw it to the ground, finally targeting Cuizhu.

"Tie up this maid who dared to deceive me!"

Chu Beiyu ordered that he would wait here today to see what tricks this woman was playing!

He even dared to stay out all night!

Cuizhu had managed to hide the note with great difficulty, but when she heard Chu Beiyu's words, her heart sank instantly.

……

On this side, Ye Qingluo had just returned to the mansion when he heard some noise coming from not far away.

It sounded like the noise came from her yard.

There were only her and Cuizhu in the courtyard. The only ones who could have such a scene were Su Wan, who had already returned to the Shangshu Mansion, and Madam Chu, who was still recuperating even if she had woken up. So the only one left was Chu Beiyu...

When Ye Qingluo thought of this, his heart skipped a beat!

As soon as she returned to the yard, she saw Cuizhu tied up with ropes in a half-kneeling position, the guards outside, and Chu Beiyu with a gloomy face sitting on a stone chair in the yard.

Ye Qingluo's eyes darkened, and she walked into the courtyard and asked in the direction of Chu Beiyu, "My Lord, why did you come to the courtyard so early in the morning and tie up my maid?"

Seeing the person coming back, Chu Beiyu's face became even darker. He stood up and walked towards her with a sharp look.

"Ye Qingluo, shouldn't I be asking you this?"

"Tell me the truth, where did you go tonight?!"
