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

Bai Lu might have run away with Bai Qingze.

I don’t know if she is interested in Bai Qingze... Gu Liangzhi thought, as long as Bai Lu is happy, anything is fine.

But it’s best to be yourself.

If she and Bai Qingze were really in love with each other, she could withdraw.

But then he thought, isn’t this a bit cowardly? He fell into endless entanglement.

Gu Liang either quarrels with Zhao Cuicui every day, or fantasizes about himself and Bai Lu being together, or not being together.

Also, he imagined Bai Lu and Bai Qingze being together and himself regretfully quitting the scene. All this made Gu Liang feel that he was exhausted and his grades were declining rapidly.

The teachers at the academy were the first to get impatient at this time. They even sent people to Bai Lu's home to ask Bai Lu what was going on? !

They thought that since Gu Liang and Bai Lu had a good relationship, Bai Lu should be able to tell them what was going on.

Everyone knows that Gu Liang often helps out in Bailu's Seven Fairies Milk Tea Shop.

Later, the teachers in the academy also knew about it. Sometimes they could even drink the specially discounted wholesale milk tea that Bai Lu got for Gu Liang.

That was something Bai Lu gave specifically to the teachers and classmates of Gu Liang Academy, so that the people in the academy could help and support Gu Liang more and not bully him too much.

Because compared with them, Gu Liang's family is really poor.

They all discussed privately, "What's wrong with Gu Liang recently? He is absent-minded in class."

"Yes."

An old man stroked his beard and frowned, saying, "We'll have to ask White Snake later. She's sure she knows what's going on."

"..."

So, a teacher named Master Lu, whom Gu Liang trusted the most and whom Gu Liang even wanted to worship as his teacher at one point, came forward.

He made a special visit to Bai Lu.

The reason why he did not accept Gu Liang's offer to become his disciple was simply because he was only a juren now, and he thought that with his talent, how could he teach Gu Liang? Maybe Gu Liang would not only be an ordinary scholar in the future, but could also go higher.

Gu Liang looks smart and his conversation is not that of an ordinary person. He has a talent for studying. They hope that Gu Liang can make a splash and become a superior person.

So Master Lu felt that... he was not worthy of Gu Liang, so he did not clamor to become Gu Liang's master. Even when Gu Liang wanted to become his disciple, he did not agree.

Master Lu was an old man who looked almost 70 years old. He knocked on Bai Lu's door and said to the girls inside, "I wonder if Lady Bai is home."

"I heard that White Snake didn't go to the Seven Fairies Milk Tea Shop today, so I came here specially to visit her."

As he said this, he took out a bag of raisins with a smile. He was not particularly wealthy, but having a bag of raisins was good enough for him.

It was Haitang who opened the door. Haitang said to the old man cheerfully, "Our Lady White is indeed at home today. Please come in!"

Having said that, she invited the person into the main hall, and then Lily hurried to inform Bai Lu.

"White Lady, White Lady."

"There's an old man outside looking for you."

Old Master? This sounds a bit strange.

Bai Lu thought, I am not a scholar, why would an old scholar come to me? But after thinking about it, Bai Lu suddenly understood.

Oh, that should be Gu Liang’s old teacher. Bai Lu’s eyes flashed, and she went out to see the old teacher.

She had just reached the door of the main hall when the old man came in, and Bai Lu and the old man happened to meet each other.

They both bowed to each other, "White Lady."

"This old man."

"Oh, my last name is Lu, you can just call me Old Man Lu."

Master Lu was smiling. Even when facing Bai Lu, a businessman who had not been well-educated, he was still very respectful.

In other words, his respect came from the bottom of his heart, which was completely different from the feeling of those scholars who saw that Bai Lu was rich and dared not disrespect him.

He is not a killjoy.

Bai Lu looked at him and smiled at him very attentively, then said to Haitang below: "Haitang, please find a seat for this old man."

"Make him a pot of...the best tea!"

Originally, there was no tea in their house, but Shen Congyun gave her a lot, saying that it was for entertaining guests and showing off.

This is exactly what it comes in handy for.

"Yes!"

Haitang bowed very politely and turned away.

Master Lu silently observed the maids in the room. They were dressed in ordinary clothes, but each one was prettier than the other.

Moreover, their behavior is very proper and they don't look like ordinary people. It's amazing that Bai Lu has trained so many powerful maids.

He also discovered that there were no guards in their house, only maids.

Guards... Well, there are some. I heard there is an old man, but he had just met that old man. He didn't seem like a powerful figure. He was more like an old man who was taking care of his parents. He had a good relationship with Bai Lu.

In Bai Lu's house, could it be that they use these women as guards and maids? Otherwise, how can they keep such a huge family business? It's really amazing!

Mr. Lu was simply amazed in his heart. How difficult it would be to train guards using women!

Of course, Master Lu didn't think they were all female guards based on his own guesses. It was mainly because of the lightness in the way they walked, sat and lay that was not possessed by ordinary women.

Mr. Lu had also seen this in his early years. He had seen it in a wealthy family, so he was able to see it at this time.

He was now really amazed and said: "I am really impressed. There are so many female guards!"

"Lady Bai, you are really far-sighted. It would be a great idea to give it as a dowry to your seven daughters in the future."

Bai Lu smiled and nodded perfunctorily to Master Lu, saying, "I wonder what important matter has brought you here today?"

"..."

Mr. Lu was embarrassed for a moment, then he pondered.

"Speaking of this, it's actually nothing important, but I want to ask, why has my disappointing disciple not been attending classes recently?"

"...Disciple, are you talking about Gu Liang?"

Bai Lu smiled.

Master Lu nodded and said, "It is Gu Liang."

"I heard before that Gu Liang has a good relationship with you, Bai Niangzi, and has always been helping out in the Seven Fairies Milk Tea Shop."

"I thought, if Gu Liang has any problem, I can come to you, Lady Bai."
