Chapter 162: Killing Her
"What are you waiting for……"
"Ok?"
Before Chu Beiyu finished speaking, he was met with Ye Qingluo's suspicious gaze. His expression froze and he smiled awkwardly, "Madam, what I mean is that since time is so tight, why wait until tomorrow? Let's go to Huichun Hall to get the letter back now, okay?"
"So the Marquis already knows who sent the letter?"
"I don't know."
Hearing the answer, he exclaimed, "If the Marquis doesn't know, why are you so anxious? Could it be that the content of the letter is very important?"
Chu Beiyu was stunned, feeling angry and anxious. If he knew who sent the letter, he would have brought people to investigate long ago. Why would he waste time with a woman here?
"Madam, I also want to find out the truth as soon as possible and clear my father-in-law's name."
Ye Qingluo sneered in her heart. This bastard was really good at pretending. She wanted to see how long Chu Beiyu could endure.
"My lord, since you thought my father was innocent from the beginning, why didn't you stand up after the incident happened? It seems that what my sister said is true. In the military camp..." Ye Qingluo didn't say anything else, leaving the other party with a meaningful look.
But it was the word "military camp" that seemed to touch the sensitive string in Chu Beiyu's mind. His expression changed drastically and he suddenly grabbed Ye Qingluo's wrist.
"What did Su Wan tell you?"
"Why is the Marquis so nervous? Is there some secret hidden in the military camp?"
Chu Beiyu calmed down and retorted, "Who said I was nervous?"
"The barracks are an important place in the army. Even if there are any secrets, they cannot be known by a woman like you."
Although Chu Beiyu said this on his face, he was already dissatisfied with Su Wan in his heart.
Before returning to Beijing, he had told Su Wan not to leak the matter, especially in front of Ye Qingluo.
But she had to mention the military camp!
If Ye Qingluo knew the truth and got the token, his identity as Marquis Pingyuan would be in jeopardy.
"My Lord, you hurt me."
Ye Qingluo's eyes flashed with coldness. Very good! She only mentioned the word "military camp", which could cause Chu Beiyu to react so strongly. This was enough to prove that her direction was correct.
Su Wan is definitely an important breakthrough in these matters!
Chu Beiyu let go of Ye Qingluo, "Madam, I am your husband. If it weren't for my father-in-law, I wouldn't be where I am today."
"Are you saying this because you think my father-in-law's demotion has something to do with me?"
Ye Qingluo leaned back in his chair, tapping the table with his fingers.
"Is it irrelevant?"
Chu Beiyu's pupils shrank and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Could it be that this vicious woman knew?
If this is the case, Ye Qingluo can't stay!
He had finally gained a foothold in the military camp and became the envied Marquis Pingyuan. If Ye Qingluo knew about this, she would definitely ruin his future and ruin his plans.
Chu Beiyu stared at Ye Qingluo and decided to test him again before taking action.
"Madam, why don't you make your words clearer?"
Ye Qingluo chuckled, "I was just talking just now. Look how nervous the Marquis is. People who don't know would really think that the Marquis has something to do with my father's demotion."
"Everyone in the capital and my father's former subordinates all know that the Marquis was just a soldier when he followed my father, and then he got to his current position. How could the Marquis do such an ungrateful thing?"
"Of course I believe in the Marquis." Ungrateful.
