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

"..."

Bai Lu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded, saying, "It's a pity that beauty died young."

"Yes, our wife died too early."

They sighed, then led Bai Lu into the room and said with a smile, "This main room is for Lady Bai to live in."

"This is the favorite room of our eldest son's mother. When our eldest son was young, he lived here until he was seven years old. Later, he moved out of the yard and lived alone."

"...I see. This room is quite valuable then."

"Yes, the eldest master usually doesn't allow anyone to live here. This place contains many years of memories between the eldest master and the late lady, and now it is specially left to you, Lady Bai."

"Okay, thank you very much."

Bai Lu glanced at Shen Congyun and Leng Bingnian. They both lived next to her, which was a good thing.

If there is anything, it is convenient to call them.

Not long after Bai Lu entered, she suddenly heard a maid knocking on the door. The maid outside said very respectfully.

"Lady Bai, we are the maids assigned to you by the prefect. If you have any instructions, you can call us. We will go over to help you clean up the house or something... It's all possible."

Bai Lu smiled and shook her head. She didn't let them in, but said, "I don't need to."

"I'm very tired today and want to go to bed quickly. You guys can do whatever you need to do."

"If the prefect asks you about this, you can just say... I gave you the order. There's no need to feel embarrassed."

These maids looked at each other and thought Bai Lu was a nice person, so they all nodded and said.

"Yes, White Lady."

They all retreated.

As they retreated, they saw a figure slowly coming towards Bai Suzhen's room.

"who?!"

The maids looked at each other and spoke vigilantly.

Bai Lu's identity is not ordinary. If someone else enters her room, it might ruin Bai Lu's reputation.

General Murong coughed twice and said, "It's me."

"This general has come here to discuss important matters with Lady Bai, military and political matters...I ask the ladies to stay away."

Several maids nodded, but didn't think too much about it and left.

General Murong and Bai Lu were obviously in the same group, and they knew each other. Since they were discussing important military and political matters, they should just leave, as they didn't understand any of this.

The maids ignored General Murong and walked straight to Bai Lu's door, knocked and said.

"White Lady, are you there?"

Bai Lu was stunned, then went to open the door, and saw General Murong standing in front of her.

General Murong smiled and said to Bai Lu: "Lady Bai, I have something important to discuss with you."

"It's night time, the weather is pretty good, let's walk in the middle of the yard."

As for the house, General Murong must have been embarrassed to go in.

Bai Lu was silent for a moment, took a look at the cold night outside, nodded, and said, "Okay, let's go for a walk together."

Bai Lu put on a cloak. Sun Nanxing was afraid that she would be cold, so she asked someone to bring it to her after dinner. This child is quite thoughtful.

Put on the cloak and you won’t feel cold anymore.

General Murong took a look at Bai Lu wearing a cloak, then he pulled Bai Lu out to talk without any worries.

The two of them walked together in the yard, and General Murong said with a smile.

"...White Lady, I have always had a question."

"You were living well in Liangzhou, why did you come to Qingzhou? Are you doing business?"

"Yes, didn't I tell you before that I came to Qingzhou to do business?"

Bai Lu smiled.

General Murong then asked, "What kind of business are you doing? Right now, you are holding the lifeline of grain in Liangzhou... The war has just been settled, and you are needed to personally come forward to settle all matters in Liangzhou! At this critical moment, if you come to Qingzhou, won't you abandon everything in Liangzhou?!"

"Since you left everything in Liangzhou behind, I guess your business in Qingzhou must be extraordinary as well."

“Is it a particularly profitable business?”

"Yes."

Bai Lu nodded with a cold face and said, "This business is indeed unusual."

"I don't know what General Murong means by asking so many questions...?"

General Murong smiled and said.

"If it's a business that can be seen in the open, you can naturally tell me, White Lady. Now I am very curious...what kind of business are you talking about?"

"Lady Bai, otherwise... there is a man and a woman in the city who are being hunted by the whole city. If you don't tell me clearly what kind of business you are doing, you and Shen Congyun will probably be listed as suspects."

"After that, we will report you to the emperor and ask him to make you a princess or a lady... This will be much more troublesome."

"White Lady, we are both smart people. We are honest people and we don't speak in secret. I also admire you very much, so I hope you can answer me truthfully."

"This is not an interrogation, but to clear you of some unwarranted charges, Lady Bai."

"...Think about it, if His Majesty gives you a reward, and someone says you are a suspect, what will you do then? Wouldn't His Majesty take back your reward?"

"Now, let's make it clear now to avoid any trouble later."

"White Lady, what do you think? Does what I said make sense?"

What General Murong said does make sense, but it seems that I am indeed the suspect they mentioned.

Bai Lu's mouth twitched. For a moment, she didn't want to waste time talking to General Murong. She frowned and said impatiently, "I'm doing business in Qingzhou, so naturally I want to find a wealthy businessman who went to the Western Regions."

"You probably don't know, but now there are many people in the Western Regions doing business with our Dawu. Shen Congyun and I want to open some shops together, trade with the Western Regions, and sell some tea and silk."

"Especially the tea called bitter Pu'er, which is very famous in Liangzhou. We want to circulate more of this tea with the Western Regions."

"If these businesses are from the wealthy merchants in Liangzhou, they don't have as much money as I do, so they definitely don't know how to do it. Qingzhou is more developed than Liangzhou, and Qingzhou is closer, so I came to Qingzhou to ask if there are any wealthy merchants here who have been to the Western Regions. What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"..."

"I heard that Madam Bailu, you have a partner named Madam Luo. Why didn't you come with Madam Luo?"

General Murong continued to press the issue.
