The mistress of a marquis's family divorced her husband and married someone else: the scumbag&#

Chapter 73 A drastic change in temperament

Seeing the seal handed over by Ye Qingluo, Chu Beiyu slammed the pen to the ground, his face terribly gloomy, and he spoke almost with gritted teeth.

"Ye Qingluo, you are so thoughtful!"

Ye Qingluo smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, my Lord."

Chu Beiyu's face turned red with anger, but there was nothing he could do at this moment. He really needed the 20,000 taels to fill the remaining deficit.

After pressing the handprint, Chu Beiyu said coldly, "The loan agreement has been written and the seal has been pressed. Shouldn't you give the silver to me?"

"I'll ask Cuizhu to deliver it to the Marquis later."

Chu Beiyu was immediately displeased when he heard this, "Ye Qingluo, are you sure you are not playing a trick on me?"

Ever since I discovered that this woman's temperament had changed drastically, she even did things unconventionally. I'm afraid she's the only one who would think of asking her husband to write a promissory note and put his fingerprints on it.

After Ye Qingluo put away the IOU, he said slowly, "My Lord, I'm right here. Are you afraid that I'll run away?"

"If I wanted to play a trick on you, why would I bother with the money?"

Chu Beiyu gave up after hearing this, and snorted coldly, "It's better this way!"

"But..." Ye Qingluo raised the corners of his lips, with a cunning look in his eyes, "Now, plus the amount from before, the Marquis owes me 60,000 taels."

"My Lord, I remember all these accounts."

Facing Ye Qingluo's reminder, Chu Beiyu seemed unconcerned and replied in a perfunctory tone, "I know. I will return it to you after I get through this."

"Don't forget to ask your maid to bring the silver!" Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Chu Beiyu did not stay any longer. Before leaving, perhaps out of concern, he mentioned something to Ye Qingluo.

As for the 60,000 taels that this woman mentioned, as long as Ye Qingluo stayed in this mansion, he had plenty of ways to get away with it.

He is a marquis, and he doesn't believe that he can't defeat a woman!

"Cuizhu, keep this IOU and go get 20,000 taels to give to Chu Beiyu."

After Chu Beiyu walked away, Ye Qingluo handed the IOU to Cuizhu.

Cuizhu took the thing and still felt unprecedentedly shocked when thinking about the scene just now.

"Madam, may I ask you a question? The Marquis has just won a battle and made great contributions. Is it really possible that he has no money at all?"

"You don't know this. His military exploits helped him marry Su Wan and save Ximen Ao's life. Do you think the emperor will still remember his merits if something happens again in the future?"

Ye Qingluo said slowly, "Besides, he has just been fined for half a year's salary."

"But this 60,000 taels is such a huge amount. What should we do if the Marquis refuses to acknowledge it?"

"What do you think would happen if word got out that Pingyuan Hou borrowed money from his wife in order to marry his new love?"

What's more, the events in her account books were recorded clearly. Old Madam Chu and Chu Beiyu, the mother and son, attached so much importance to their reputation that how could they allow such a thing to happen.

It is not up to him to decide whether to return it or not!

After hearing this, Cuizhu's admiration for Ye Qingluo increased even more. She secretly sighed that she was worthy of being her wife and could think so far ahead.

After Chu Beiyu took the silver, he didn't know what he said to Old Madam Chu. But Old Madam Chu, who had always been at odds with him, didn't cause any more trouble. Even if they met, she would take the initiative to say a few words of greeting.

When Su Wan learned that Chu Beiyu mentioned that he would marry her in seven days, she was overjoyed and hurriedly brought people to Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion.

While winning over Chu Beiyu's heart, the person who should be won over the most is Old Madam Chu.

Her future mother-in-law...

When Su Wan arrived, he happened to see Old Madam Chu talking to Ye Qingluo.

"Madam, the county lord is here."

Upon hearing the news, Old Madam Chu looked outside and saw Su Wan standing there, waving at her cordially.

"County Lady, you've come just in time. I was just talking to Qingluo about some gift lists and guests for the banquet seven days later. I'll have someone give you the list then. See if there's anything you want to add."

Old Madam Chu took Su Wan's hand and said with a smile.

When Su Wan noticed how Old Madam Chu addressed Ye Qingluo, his expression changed slightly. He had seen this old lady treating Ye Qingluo with extreme disgust a few days ago.

But after just a few days, even his attitude has changed.

Su Wan had a bad feeling for a moment. Getting married was never her goal. Replacing Ye Qingluo and becoming the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion was her top priority. But now...

Ye Qingluo saw the expression on Su Wan's face clearly. It was really "hard" for him to be so angry but have to hold it in.

"The county lady said nothing, but what do you think about this?"

"No...no."

"Sister... no, it's Madam Pingyuan Hou. I always listen to Madam."

In front of Old Madam Chu, Su Wan deliberately showed a look of fear. Old Madam Chu saw something was wrong and did not let Ye Qingluo stay any longer. She raised her hand and said lightly, "Qingluo, go back first."

Ye Qingluo hummed lightly, and when he left, he met Su Wan's eyes mixed with resentment.

Haha... this guy has two faces, which is really interesting!

"County Lady, is there any grudge between you and the Ye family?"

Ever since she heard from her own Bei Yu that Ye Qingluo was willing to give out some money, and that Ximen Ao was able to save his life, her mood improved a lot, and when she saw this daughter-in-law again, she didn't find her that annoying.

"Madam, I feel that...the wife of Marquis Pingyuan doesn't seem to like me very much." Su Wan lowered her head and said pitifully.

"What Madam? You will be my equal wife when you marry into the family. At most, we can call each other sisters. There is no need to address me in such a strange way."

Madam Chu comforted Su Wan, "As for whether she likes it or not, you don't have to worry about it. With Bei Yu and I here, there won't be any trouble."

Su Wan was very proud after hearing this, and took this opportunity to say to Madam Chu again, "Madam, I heard that the Tianming Temple in the western suburbs outside the city is very popular. If you pray there, your wish will come true. If I can go with you and sister..."

When Old Madam Chu heard this, she knew what Su Wan meant. Her eyes were full of admiration.

"You are thoughtful. If Ye can be half as considerate as you are, I won't have anything to worry about."

"So, old lady, you agree?"

Madam Chu nodded, "The next period of time is to prepare for your entry. How about the temple meeting tomorrow?"

"Listen to the old lady, but my sister... I'm afraid..."

"I'll send someone to talk to you about this. I don't think Ye will dare to refuse."

Old Madam Chu was straightforward, and Su Wan felt even more proud after hearing that. There was viciousness in her eyes. After this incident in the temple, she wanted to know how that bitch Ye Qingluo would fight with her again!

The news of going to the temple soon reached Ye Qingluo. Cuizhu looked worried and said, "Madam, I heard that it was the county lady who mentioned this to the old lady."

"I'm afraid there's something fishy going on here!"
