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

"If you want to do business, you three should come here together, right? Why are there only you and Master Shen Congyun? Why didn't that Miss Luo come?!"

Bai Lu was stunned. "...Mrs. Luo is a woman. She is not suitable to run around with me. I will let her help manage the affairs of the Bai family."

"Otherwise, we in the Bai family will also have to open the rice shop and the Seven Fairies Milk Tea Shop as normal! Do you think Madam Luo is just sitting there doing nothing?!"

"I just couldn't bear to see her wandering around, and I wanted her to help me take care of my affairs over there! So Madam Luo stayed in Liangzhou!"

"General Murong, if you have any questions, please tell me everything!"

General Murong nodded, and then continued to ask something.

Suddenly, they heard a voice coming from behind.

"White Lady, what are you two doing?"

Gu Liang walked over quickly and separated Bai Lu and General Murong with a frown.

Gu Liang turned his head to look at Bai Lu and said softly, "Lady Bai, didn't we agree to meet later? Why did you start chatting with General Murong and the others first?"

"???"

Bai Lu was confused. When did she make an appointment with Gu Liang?

General Murong looked at Gu Liang in surprise, then at Bai Lu. He didn't know the relationship between them, but after listening to their conversation... he felt that the relationship between them was probably unusual.

General Murong looked at Gu Liang and Bai Lu hesitantly, and couldn't help but ask Bai Lu, "Lady Bai, if you two have an appointment, I would like you to wait first."

"I still have some things I want to ask White Lady."

"Since you said you wanted to come here to ask the merchants who do business with the Western Regions, I don't know which merchant you asked."

"Did you ask the merchants of the Sun family? Or did you ask other merchants in Qingzhou? Why didn't we get any information after checking?"

"You actually investigated me privately?!"

Bai Lu looked at General Murong with gradually cold eyes.

General Murong quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry, Lady Bai. Normally... I shouldn't investigate you, I shouldn't doubt you, but I have no choice. After all, I am a general of the court. I must follow orders and find this man and woman."

"Lady White, later... I will naturally come to your house with gifts to apologize to you, but I must investigate this matter thoroughly!"

Bai Lu frowned and said to General Murong, "You are investigating a man and a woman. What's the point of looking for that man and woman? You can't find them at all! And what's important now is not the man and the woman, but Mr. Jiang!"

"You can't even find Master Jiang, but you are very concerned about that man and woman! And now you suspect me... What do you mean?!"

General Murong said, "Lady Bai! Now is not the time for you to talk about this. I think you should explain why none of the merchants in Qingzhou have said that a lady named Bai Lu has discussed some business with them recently, especially the business to the Western Regions."

"..."

Bai Lu was speechless for a moment.

General Murong looked at Bai Lu and asked, "Lady Bai, why are you silent?"

"say something."

"..."

Bai Lu still didn't answer.

When Gu Liang heard this, he immediately stood in front of Bai Lu and slowly spoke to General Murong.

"She actually didn't come here to do business."

"If it was business, Lady White would have looked for those merchants from the Western Regions a long time ago, but she didn't."

"As you said, General Murong, she is indeed not here simply to do business. I know why she is here, and I will tell you directly, General Murong."

"Bai Lu came here... to see me."

"???"

"!!!"

When General Murong heard this, he was stunned.

"what??"

"Meet yours?!"

"real or fake?!"

"...Of course it's true."

Gu Liang frowned and said, "You can find out my relationship with Bai Lu by asking around. You can go back to Liangzhou and ask around. I have been helping Bai Lu at the Seven Fairies Milk Tea Shop in Liangzhou. I was even the one who proposed the plaque for Bai Lu's house. You can also go to my house and ask my mother."

"We loved each other very much at first, but later we were forced to separate because my mother disliked Bai Niangzi because she was a widow. That's why I came to Qingzhou."

"We were forced to break up, but after that... we both missed each other very much. I even thought that my mother could stop us, as long as we could be together."

"Bai Lu didn't expect that. I thought so too, so I just found an excuse to come here. I didn't expect that Mr. Shen Congyun would come with me..."

"Bai Lu brought Bing Nian here as a cover, but that Master Shen Congyun... is not a cover. The reason why Master Shen Congyun came along was not for business, but because he also likes Bai Lu."

"Master Shen Congyun is as cunning as a monkey. He probably guessed why Lady Bai Lu came to Qingzhou, and he shamelessly insisted on coming with Bai Lu."

"They both came here to prevent us from meeting, but we didn't expect... that we would meet in the end."

As he spoke, Gu Liang sneered and seemed a little proud.

Under the moonlight, Mr. Gu Liang looked noble, like a young man from an aristocratic family, and not like an ordinary scholar in cloth clothes.

Even vaguely... he looks a bit like a duke in the court.

General Murong was stunned for a moment.

But at this time, General Murong had already believed it.

Because this kind of thing is not suitable to lie about, you will know the answer once you ask.

Gu Liang continued, "The reason I didn't tell you all the truth before is... because of Bai Niangzi's identity, my mother has repeatedly prevented us from being together, which has led to my current relationship with Bai Niangzi not being exposed to the public. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to tell you rashly."

"This is really unfair to White Lady."

As he spoke, Gu Liang looked at Bai Lu lovingly, almost giving Bai Lu goose bumps all over her body.

But at this time...Bai Lu could also understand why Gu Liang said that.

The reason why he told General Murong that he and Bai Lu were in a relationship was simply to cover up for himself.

Gu Liang might have guessed something. He might have guessed that his purpose of coming to Qingzhou was not ordinary. So he could just use this incident to save face and fool General Murong.

Gu Liang continued, "Besides, if Bai Niangzi, a woman, gets entangled with two men, it might damage Bai Niangzi's reputation."

"So we won't explain it clearly. Do you understand why?"
