Facing Chu Beiyu's questioning, Ye Qingluo just smiled contemptuously, "Who on earth told you, Lord Hou, that I didn't come home all night?"

Seeing that Ye Qingluo was still trying to find excuses for himself, Chu Beiyu threw his sleeves and said angrily, "I have asked the guards at the gate to ask, and they did not see you leave."

"It's early morning now, and you're not in the house. If you haven't been home all night, what else could it be?"

"So this is the Marquis's logic before making a decision. It's really..." How ridiculous.

Ye Qingluo smiled softly, and this nonchalant look seemed particularly glaring to Chu Beiyu.

He asked coldly with his hands behind his back, "What are you laughing at!"

"Release Cuizhu first, and I'll tell you."

Looking at Cuizhu who was tied with ropes and half-kneeling on the ground, Ye Qingluo narrowed his eyes slightly and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Cuizhu must have suffered a lot during the time that he was away from home.

“No!” Chu Beiyu rejected it outright, and said in a deep voice to the woman not far from him, “Ye Qingluo, if you don’t tell me the reason today, not only this maid, but you too will have a hard time!”

"Tsk."

Ye Qingluo sneered and walked closer to Chu Beiyu, "My Lord, it seems that you have forgotten what happened some time ago."

"I just don't know if doing it again will make the Marquis remember it better."

When Chu Beiyu saw the silver needle that Ye Qingluo had taken out from his hand at some point, his pupils shrank and he subconsciously took a few steps back.

Although I don't know what this woman used, the feeling of being stiff and unable to move if I were stabbed is really frightening.

"Ye Qingluo, do you dare to threaten me?"

Chu Beiyu, feeling frightened, spoke angrily after he was some distance away from Ye Qingluo.

"I tell you, the Marquis' Mansion is my residence, and you are my wife!"

"If you really dare to do anything out of line, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Ye Qingluo disagreed, "If that's the case, why is the Marquis so far away? He still needs guards in front of him. If he were to go to the battlefield and be afraid of death, wouldn't he be the type of person like you?"

"If I ever meet the other soldiers in the army, I would really like to ask them."

"Ye Qingluo!"

Chu Beiyu's face turned red with anger, and his clenched fists made crackling sounds. What he could not accept the most was someone challenging his authority.

Especially this ignorant woman in front of him whom he had never taken seriously!

"Ye Qingluo, do you really think that I dare not do anything to you?"

"Don't forget that you are nothing now!"

Chu Beiyu was so angry that he gnashed his teeth. In the past, if it weren't for the fact that Ye Qingluo was the daughter of the general, he would have chosen to endure it no matter what happened. But now the general was demoted, and a good-for-nothing woman was causing trouble for him everywhere.

But her indifferent and contemptuous look made him angry, but he couldn't help but want to crush her pride.

"Come here, tie her up and give her twenty strokes of the cane until she tells the truth!"

Cuizhu panicked when she heard this and said to Chu Beiyu, "My Lord, if you want to punish me, then punish me. These things have nothing to do with Madam."

How could my wife bear these twenty beatings?

"Hmph, Ye Qingluo, I will give you one more chance. If you tell the truth, I will spare you the pain of the flesh."

Looking at the man standing there, commanding everything in a condescending tone, Ye Qingluo's eyes were already filled with murderous intent.
