Chapter 128 She is still useful
"enough!"
Before Ye Qingluo could finish his words, another burst of scolding came from outside the house.
Chu Beiyu strode in, his face completely dark. Seeing this, Su Wan hurried to his side. When she was thinking about saying something, she received a cold look from Chu Beiyu, and she froze in place.
"Bei Yu, you came at the right time. I was just reprimanding this Ye about the IOU. You should have told me earlier about her behavior."
Old Madam Chu pulled Chu Beiyu and never forgot to mention the word IOU in her words.
Chu Beiyu was a man who cared a lot about his reputation. In front of so many people, and being repeatedly mentioned by his own mother, his face was already filled with impatience.
"Mother! This matter should be stopped at the right time." Chu Beiyu suddenly interrupted Mrs. Chu's words and startled Su Wan who was standing behind her.
Logically speaking, the Marquis should be happy when he knows that the IOU has been taken back and he no longer needs to be reminded by Ye Qingluo.
But at the moment, she couldn't see that Chu Beiyu was happy at all.
Even... there was anger in his eyes when he looked at himself.
Madam Chu was also stunned, and asked Chu Beiyu in confusion, "Beiyu, what's wrong with you?"
"Mother, I have something to say to her alone." Chu Beiyu looked towards Ye Qingluo, as if he was trying his best to suppress his inner anger, and said in a deep voice, "Come out with me!"
Ye Qingluo glanced at the two people in the room, and saw Chu Beiyu walking out, and he already had a guess.
When she came out of the house, she saw Chu Beiyu asking her a question with a stern face.
"Ye Qingluo, didn't you promise me not to tell this matter?"
"Why are you spreading this matter so widely now?"
Because of what happened on the day he entered the palace, he was almost becoming a laughing stock among his colleagues in the court. Now the matter of the IOU had been revealed. If this continued, he was afraid that no one would be willing to make friends with him, the Marquis of Pingyuan.
"My Lord, I'm afraid you haven't figured things out clearly."
"It was Su Wan who took the initiative to come forward and say that she would pay the money back for you. I just went along with it."
"As for why the rumor spread, I am also wondering."
"Is this really not your fault?"
Chu Beiyu was half-believing and half-doubting, but he couldn't find anything suspicious about Ye Qingluo.
"What else?" Ye Qingluo asked back, "Besides the IOU, I also received a strange letter these days."
"Letter?" Chu Beiyu hesitated, "What's written on it?"
"It seemed to be related to some token. I just glanced at it at the time and didn't take it seriously."
Upon hearing the token, Chu Beiyu grabbed Ye Qingluo's arm and asked anxiously, "Where is the letter? Where did you put it?"
As soon as Su Wan came out of Old Madam Chu's room, she saw Chu Beiyu grabbing Ye Qingluo and her anger immediately rose.
She explained why Ye Qingluo was indifferent to these rumors and was not afraid even in front of Old Madam Chu.
It turns out that she wants to act pitiful in front of the Marquis, how despicable!
"Throw it away." Ye Qingluo remained calm despite Chu Beiyu's anxiety.
"My Lord, you keep mentioning the token. What is the use of it?"
"And have you ever heard of a lieutenant named Jiang Yuan?"
Chu Beiyu's expression froze, and the look he gave Ye Qingluo clearly changed, with a hint of caution and probing, "Is this also what was written in the letter?"
"Ye Qingluo, what else do you know besides these things?"
In the past, he thought Ye Qingluo was just a good-for-nothing woman, but the appearance of the credible letter clearly showed that this was not the case.
She might even know something about the token.
"Master Hou."
When Chu Beiyu was about to ask more questions, Su Wan's voice came.
Ye Qingluo sighed, "My Lord, your beloved Wan'er seems a little unhappy. Let's talk about the letter another day."
Seeing Ye Qingluo was about to leave, Chu Beiyu grabbed her tightly and said in a strong voice, "No!"
"Wan'er, you go back first."
"My Lord, what happened? Is there something wrong with my sister?"
Su Wan obviously didn't expect that Chu Beiyu would let her leave and leave Ye Qingluo behind. Her inner reluctance and sense of crisis became stronger and stronger.
Chu Beiyu was anxious to know the clues of the token and Jiang Yuan's affairs. Seeing Su Wan still standing there, he became annoyed and ordered the maid beside Su Wan, "What are you still standing there for!"
"Escort the Second Madam back."
Seeing Su Wan leave unwillingly, Ye Qingluo knew that the plan had been accomplished. Next...
With no one around, Chu Beiyu asked again, "Ye Qingluo, explain to me what happened just now. Where did you throw the letter?"
"Maybe it was some street. As for where it was, I can't remember clearly because it was thrown out of the carriage."
"You! You are so stupid!"
Chu Beiyu's face turned red with anger, and he was even more worried that the letter would be picked up by someone and cause trouble.
"My Lord, you are so anxious, is this related to my father's matter?"
Chu Beiyu's expression was extremely complicated. "Ye Qingluo, is this really all you know?"
"If I knew more, why would I come to ask you, Lord Marquis?"
Chu Beiyu felt inexplicably relieved after hearing this. Even though he had not yet grasped any clues related to the token, he could not let Ye Qingluo know anything about the military camp.
Especially Jiang Yuan, he actually ran away after that incident...
"My Lord, you haven't answered my question yet."
"Regarding your father, although I believe he was wronged, Qingluo, you also know that it has been a while since the incident happened."
"Many relationships are complicated. Even if I want to investigate, I still need more evidence."
"So Qingluo, if you receive this kind of strange letter again, you must give it to me first, okay?"
"it is good."
Ye Qingluo's answer made Chu Beiyu's frown relax a lot.
"But Lord, shouldn't you also pay back the remaining silver?"
"What else? Didn't Wan'er pay back the IOU?" Chu Beiyu looked confused.
"That's just the previous amount. My Lord, you forgot the remaining 20,000 taels, and there are also miscellaneous amounts."
"Okay, let's talk about that later. You also know the situation of this Marquis' Mansion!"
"Ye Qingluo, since you have taken back what you did, don't go too far in everything."
"In that case, Lord, just remember it."
Ye Qingluo was not in a hurry. "As for the rumors, you'd better check them out, my lord, or else they will get into the ears of others."
"People who don't know you would think that you are a marquis who only cares about coveting your wife's dowry..." Waste.
"Ye Qingluo!" Chu Beiyu roared angrily. This woman had clearly been responding to him just now, but now she dared to say that he was greedy for the dowry.
Women are so fickle!
He stared at Ye Qingluo's departing figure, his eyes gradually becoming cold. He had kept her in the first place in order to intimidate those people in the military camp, but now she had another use.
That is the whereabouts of the token. Although Ye Yuanshan was demoted, the people loyal to him are still there, especially the army. As long as Ye Qingluo is there, he will not worry about not having clues to the token.
