Chapter 145 Robbery
At this time, two guards came to Chu Beiyu and said, "My Lord, we have searched everywhere, but we didn't find the beauty serum you mentioned."
"How can this be!"
Chu Beiyu denied it outright and immediately asked Ye Qingluo, "Where did you put the beauty serum?"
Seeing this, Ye Qingluo stopped tolerating the two and said in a cold voice, "Chu Beiyu, didn't I make it very clear just now that this beauty serum has been sold out? Since you don't believe it, I will let you search Huichuntang."
"Now that the thing has been found, you are asking me here. Don't you think it's a bit ridiculous?"
"Or do you think you can do whatever you want as a marquis?"
After Ye Qingluo finished speaking, he shouted to the people present and those watching outside, "I'm sure everyone has seen what happened just now. I didn't expect that the dignified Marquis would be so unreasonable. He brought people to search under the pretext of family affairs and even wanted to accuse me of a crime."
"Is there any justice in this?"
As soon as these words were spoken, many people spoke up for Ye Qingluo. Among them, there were many ladies from aristocratic families who, when seeing this scene, cast unfriendly glances at Chu Beiyu and Su Wan.
"It's really not easy for the wife of Marquis Pingyuan. After Marquis Pingyuan went to war for three years, she was the one who supported the Marquis's mansion. Now that he has returned, he has married a concubine."
"Marquis Pingyuan, you are too heartless to do this."
"that is!"
Listening to these people's discussions, Chu Beiyu felt angry and annoyed. If he drove them all away at this time, wouldn't it prove that he had no conscience?
He could ignore Ye Qingluo, but from the way these people were dressed, he could guess that they were powerful figures, and some of them might even know about his past.
Chu Beiyu had no choice but to lower his voice and warn, "Ye Qingluo, do you know what you are talking about?"
"If you dare to slander my reputation again, I will..." Chu Beiyu clenched his fists and acted like a vicious person, trying to intimidate Ye Qingluo.
But Ye Qingluo would never be frightened by Chu Beiyu like this.
But this pair of dogs had so much fun that they had to try to make their presence felt in front of her, especially Su Wan, who was almost sticking to Chu Beiyu. Not only that, they also gave her a provocative look every time they spoke to show their love for each other.
After this commotion, these people must have heard that the guards did not find the beauty serum, and since their goal had been achieved, there was no need to endure it any longer.
Ye Qingluo stumbled back two steps, Cuizhu rushed forward to support her, "Madam, are you okay?"
Ye Qingluo winked at Cuizhu, then looked at Chu Beiyu and said in horror, "My Lord, are you going to hit me?"
"It would have been fine if you were cold and sarcastic in the Marquis' Mansion, but outside, there are so many people here. If you have been dissatisfied for a long time, why don't you just say something straightforward?"
"Bringing so many people with you, what's the difference between that and humiliation?"
Ye Qingluo's words instantly attracted more people's dissatisfaction. Su Wan, who was about to speak, felt an inexplicable chill on her back when facing the gazes of these people.
"My Lord, why don't we go back? Maybe my sister doesn't want to give it out because she has some difficulties."
"This is the first time I've seen such a shameless concubine. Marquis Pingyuan, Madam Ye is at least your legally married wife. Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed for doing this?"
"Apologize! You must apologize to Madam Ye!"
Chu Beiyu felt a little embarrassed. Didn’t he just speak a little louder when talking to Ye Qingluo just now?
How come so many people are upset...
Even though he was full of confusion at the moment, he knew clearly what the consequences would be if the matter became a big deal.
At the very least, rumors about him would spread all over the capital, at the worst, in the court, and more likely, the emperor...
Just thinking about it makes people shudder. Chu Beiyu took a deep breath and tried to stay calm. He said to Ye Qingluo in front of everyone, "Madam, I was wrong just now."
"I never meant to humiliate you."
"Although Huichun Hall is your dowry, as the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion, this place naturally also belongs to the Marquis's Mansion."
Su Wan saw that the situation was not right, and she didn't care about anything else. She tried to save some reputation and followed Chu Beiyu's words, "Yes, sister, you and I are both the Marquis's people, why make things so ugly."
"Could it be that you want to see the Marquis being criticized for the Huichun Hall incident?"
"In that case, my Lord, please apologize."
Su Wan and Chu Beiyu were both shocked and looked at her in disbelief.
This bitch must be crazy. She actually dared to ask the Marquis to apologize.
It is wishful thinking to think that having two businesses under your name will make you different. But it is just right. The more Ye Qingluo does this, the more she can show her difference.
Chu Beiyu, the person involved, had an extremely gloomy expression on his face. He tried hard to suppress the anger that was about to burst out from his heart, and veins on his forehead were already bulging.
How dare this woman!
He had already humbled himself to try to appease her, but she still dared to rely on her numbers to make demands on him. When he returned to the Marquis' Mansion, he would wait and see how he would deal with this ignorant and vicious woman.
Chu Beiyu took a deep breath, paused for a long time, and said word by word, "Madam, let's talk about it when we get back."
"Besides, Huichun Hall belongs to the Marquis' Mansion. Do you have to make things out of control before you give up?"
As soon as Chu Beiyu finished speaking, he was met with contempt from Ye Qingluo.
"My Lord, you are neither willing to let your people withdraw from Huichun Hall nor to apologize. There is nothing more to talk about."
"Oh, I forgot to mention one thing. Although I am the mistress of your mansion, Huichun Hall does not belong to me alone."
"My Lord, your action will probably cause big trouble. If that person is unhappy, I can't do anything about it."
"What's the big trouble?"
Chu Beiyu said immediately that he always felt that this woman was hiding something.
Su Wan felt that the heat was not enough, "Sister, as a younger sister, I can understand that you want justice, but what you said is really too much."
She had sent people to investigate privately. Although Huichuntang was managed by these people, the person behind the scenes had always been Ye Qingluo.
"My Lord, after all, it's all my fault. I am willing to apologize to my sister in front of so many people."
"Don't say it!"
Chu Beiyu stopped her. At this time, the people watching outside had disappeared for some reason, and there was no need to give Ye Qingluo a good face and be an eyesore.
Originally, he just wanted to take the beauty serum and leave, but now...
Chu Beiyu glanced around with cold eyes, "Ye Qingluo, don't think you can deceive me with just a few words!"
"Since you are so restless, you don't have to come to Huichun Hall from today on."
"I think Wan'er is more suitable for the position of the master of Huichun Hall than you!"
After hearing these words, everyone in Huichun Hall spoke up.
Cuizhu was the first to step forward and said to Chu Beiyu, "My Lord, you can't treat my wife like this."
"Madam has worked hard for the Marquisate over the years and has never let anyone down! Besides, Huichun Hall was the dowry given to Madam by the general. Even you are not qualified to make the decision, let alone hand it over to the Second Madam!"
