In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.

Everyone's face changed drastically.

Bai Lu was still relatively calm, but she just stood there in a daze for a long time, her body not reacting at all.

After all, she had just traveled here not long ago, and she couldn't imagine... what it would be like to experience war herself.

I had only heard about the war before, but I didn’t expect... this time, the war would be so close to me.

I don’t know if she, a modern person, can adapt to life here during the war.

Gu Liang's face changed drastically, and he immediately said to Bai Lu: "We must send someone to protect the gate of the mansion!"

"If we don't protect it well, and the rebels outside break in and steal the things in our house, what should we do?!"

Zhao Cuicui immediately wiped her tears and said, "Oh my, what kind of world is this?!"

Grandpa Li said in a deep voice, "When I was young, there were often wars, which was normal."

"As long as we take good care of the house, nothing will happen."

"But Lady Bai... you are the richest man in Lianhua Town, and you are also one of the richest men in Huai County. They will definitely ask you for money, so you have to be mentally prepared."

Leng Bingnian immediately picked up his wooden sword, which was carved for him by his martial arts master. He said coldly: "Don't be afraid, Lady Bai. I will protect you."

The few little moons at home looked at Bai Lu and the others in a daze, with fear showing on their faces.

Seeing this, Bai Lu hurriedly hugged them and Xiao Bingnian into her arms.

She slowly said, "...Okay, I know everything about this."

"You don't have to worry about me. At most I can just give them some money."

"Although I am the richest man in Lianhua Town, who knows how much silver I have?"

"In Huai County, I have never admitted that I am one of the richest people... If they ask, I will say that I have 50,000 taels of silver. Giving them 10,000 taels of silver is already my life savings."

"Although we are a wealthy family, the place we live in...is really not that good. And compared to other wealthy families, our food, clothing and daily expenses are just average. We don't have any servants to serve us."

Bai Lu was relatively calm, perhaps because she was prepared.

She took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"After that, our Seven Fairies Milk Tea Shop will open normally. They will burn, kill and rob if they want to. They will not stop robbing us just because we open the shop or not."

"We are going to lose a lot of money, so we have to open the store quickly. Only in this way can we make money continuously."

"If the leaders of the rebellion in Liangzhou Prefecture are smart, they will not allow their subordinates to do whatever they want and will definitely impose controls on them."

"If we don't take good care of our people, we will lose the support of the people and be attacked from all sides. Dawu will destroy these rebels sooner or later!"

"Okay... let's just... calm down for now."

But she couldn't help but tremble in her heart.

Her body began to tremble.

If this is the case, then something must have really happened to Bai Qingze? !

Her brother... that's her brother...

Did something really happen to him?!

And Breeze and the two guards never came back since they left those days.

He is in Liangzhou Prefecture, is he still alive now? !

Are Breeze and the two guards still alive? !

Bai Lu felt extremely heavy, as if a huge stone was pressing on her heart.

Bai Lu immediately said to the guards below: "You are good at Qinggong, so you can walk freely. You don't have to be afraid of those troops, so please go to Yongping County and ask Madam Luo to come back quickly."

"Let's leave the store over there to the people there to take care of it. It doesn't matter whether it's closed or not. Let her come back quickly!"

As for Shen Congyun...I'm not worried anymore.

After all, he is a man.

But Madam Luo is a woman.

What if I encounter rebels and my innocence is ruined? !

Not only Mrs. Luo, but also myself, the village chief's wife, the village chief's daughter, and the village chief's daughter-in-law are not allowed to go to the store. Only men can go to the store.

Moreover, good-looking men are not allowed to work in the store.

......

Kyoto.

The rebellion in Liangzhou Prefecture shocked the government and the public.

The rebellion was so sudden that it caught the entire court off guard.

Without soldiers, there were no measures. In Liangzhou Prefecture, two cities had even fallen in succession.

Jinling and Nan'an are gone.

This made the emperor furious in the court.

He angrily scolded Minister Bai: "Are all the people in your Bai family just eating for free?!"

"Didn't I always ask Bai Qingze to investigate the rebels? How come there is no clue at all?!"

"Now Liangzhou Prefecture is actually rebelling?!"

"..."

The ministers below looked at each other, all feeling very embarrassed.

Finally, several officials could not help but come out to defend Bai Qingze: "Your Majesty, Mr. Bai... is just a young boy with no achievements. In addition, he was captured there. We don't know his specific situation. He may even be dead or alive..."

"It is possible to die for one's country..."

"Your Majesty, please calm down."

As they spoke, their voices faded away.

The emperor also fell silent.

He couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.

Seeing the situation in Liangzhou Prefecture, he must be angry. He sent Bai Qingze to investigate for such a long time, but not only did he find nothing, but he also caused Liangzhou Prefecture to rebel.

But if you think about it carefully, it is understandable.

It was precisely because of the rebellion in Liangzhou Prefecture that he couldn't find out anything.

If there were no problems with the officials there, how could he not find out the location of the rebels? ! After so long, he only found a little clue.

He was furious and immediately thought of those princes. Also, the reason why the little prince disappeared and was almost killed was because of the rebels over there!

He was extremely angry, and now he didn't know whether Bai Qingze was alive or dead. He might have died in Liangzhou Prefecture at such a young age... So the emperor just cursed a few words unhappily and didn't say anything else.

He sighed, waved his hand and said weakly: "Then let General Shi lead an army of 100,000 to Liangzhou Prefecture to quell the rebellion for me."

The people below looked at each other in bewilderment, and some asked, "Why not let General Zhou go?"

"General Zhou is from Liangzhou, and he just came back from the front line not long ago. He has been through many battles and is very experienced."

"If we go to Liangzhou, I'm afraid we will be victorious soon."

The emperor frowned, somewhat displeased: "Although General Zhou is young, he has made great military achievements, but he is still a little young after all."

"Besides, he just defeated the barbarians and came back from the front line... He must be exhausted. Let him rest."

"When there is another war, we will let General Zhou go."

Everyone nodded and said respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty."

After the court session, the eldest and second sons of the Bai family gathered together, both looking extremely ugly.

The eldest son of the Bai family is twenty years old this year and has already married. He looks gentle and elegant, much more elegant than the third son of the Bai family.

If the third son of the Bai family, Bai Qingze, looks like a handsome young man, then the eldest son of the Bai family, Bai Chuyao, is a noble scholar with an obvious scholarly air. It is also said that... he was a third place winner in the imperial examination.

"Brother, how are you? His Majesty was too slow in the morning court today."

The second son, Bai Liezhao, has an impetuous personality and is more eccentric than the eldest and third sons.

There was a hint of complaint in his tone.

"Our third brother is missing, but His Majesty didn't care or say anything, and even scolded him!"

Bai Chuyao's expression remained calm: "Being with the emperor is like being with a tiger."

"You'll understand later... Although he is our uncle, it's hard to have any affection for him."

"And then..."

He smiled, his expression was gentle but his brows were somewhat deep.

“This is also for people outside to see.”

"Otherwise, people outside will definitely be unhappy, saying that our third brother has been doing nothing in Liangzhou for so long and even lost Liangzhou Prefecture."

"How...how could they be so bad?!"

Bai Liezhao frowned and was very angry.

"These people are really going too far!"

"If I were a high-ranking official, I would definitely kill them all..."

"Okay, now you are just a small general, right? Aren't you an official?"

Bai Chuyao smiled gently and pulled him into the carriage. Then, he immediately said to Bai Liezhao seriously, "Something happened over there now. Don't be impulsive and go to Liangzhou Prefecture."

Bai Liezhao looked guilty, "...Brother, how did you know I was going to Liangzhou Prefecture?"

Bai Chuyao smiled and said, "Don't I know your temper? You look fierce and reckless on the surface, but in fact, you must be thinking about your brothers."

"Old Third is a lucky man. He will be fine."

"And the main thing is...it doesn't matter whether we go to Liangzhou Prefecture or not, so let's send a few generals to take a look at the situation there."

"The third brother is such a smart man, I believe he will definitely negotiate with the rebel leader over there."

As they were talking, their carriages arrived at the Bai Mansion.

After entering the Bai Mansion, I heard noisy sounds of crying and shouting inside.

It seems that Princess Mingzhu and Princess Ruyu are quarreling again.

Bai Chuyao's expression remained unchanged. He was dressed in a red official robe, looking neat and upright. He pulled Bai Liezhao into his room.

Bai Liezhao scratched his head, feeling annoyed, "Why are these women so annoying?"

"All you do every day is whine! Woo woo!"

"...I didn't expect my sister to be like this."

If he had known his sister was like this, Bai Liezhao would never have let his third brother find his sister.

But after all...his sister was also the child his mother gave birth to with great difficulty, so he protected her to some extent.

Bai Liezhao said to his personal guard.

"Feiyu, go take a look and make sure Princess Mingzhu doesn't get wronged."

"Yes."

Feiyu turned away respectfully.

Bai Liezhao closed the door, leaving only the two of them in the room.

There was also a letter on the table, which should have been received by the guards around Bai Chuyao and was placed there.

Look at the red word "Express" above.

Bai Chuyao was about to open it immediately, but after thinking about it...he still didn't open it.

I guess nothing is more important than my third brother's disappearance.

After he put his hands on his legs, he immediately said to Bai Liezhao.

"Second brother, although father has had some conflicts with mother over the years, he is still good to us. If father is worried about the third brother and is afraid that something has happened to him over there, you must stop father."

"You two are both so impatient... Don't go to Liangzhou Prefecture. You will probably die if you go there."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Bai Liezhao said: "Brother, I think... you should take care of yourself recently."

Bai Liezhao looked at Bai Chuyao helplessly and said, "Your health is not good anymore. You should take care of yourself first before talking about us brothers and father."

"Father favors his concubine over his wife, and he's so supportive of that...shit Princess Ruyu."

"Even if he died in front of me now, I wouldn't even look at him!"

Among the three brothers of the Bai family, the rift between Bai Liezhao and Bai Shangshu is the biggest.

Mainly, he has a quick temper.

If he looks down on someone, he'll show it.

Bai Laosan also doesn't like Minister Bai, but he is very scheming, so he pretends.

It's just enough to save face, not like the third brother who is inseparable from Minister Bai, their relationship is stinkier than shit stuffed in stinky tofu.

Bai Chuyao and his father seem to have the best relationship... because Bai Chuyao is the oldest, and when he was born, his father and mother were in a good relationship, and there were no concubines in the mansion at that time.

Although many things happened later, the relationship between the two of them is always deeper than the relationship the two younger brothers have for their father.

After Bai Chuyao sighed, he gave Bai Liezhao some instructions, telling him not to go to Liangzhou Prefecture.

Also, don't get into conflict with your father and don't let him go to Liangzhou Prefecture.

After that, he was let go.

Only after he went downstairs did Bai Chuyao open the envelope.

After opening it, he was shocked by the contents inside...

"This is......!!!"

The third brother’s bodyguard, sent by Breeze!

Breeze's brushstrokes were very quick, he must have written it in a hurry.

"My Lord, my Lord, I am writing to you personally! Princess Mingzhu is not the real Mingzhu, and her identity is questionable. Her original surname was Cheng, and she was the adopted daughter of Deputy Magistrate Cheng of Huai County, Liangzhou Prefecture. She and Deputy Magistrate Cheng conspired to frame another woman who possessed a phoenix hairpin—that woman's name was Bai Lu."
