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

"I have some explosive news, I wonder if you want to hear it."

"...I'm not interested. You can say it if you want."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Pei Huizhou smiled and said, "My explosive news is related to both of you."

"Madam Bai Lu, General Zhou, you may not know...that Bai Zhiyi is here again, right?"

"Bai Zhiyi will soon be married to General Zhou by His Majesty."

"General Zhou, come to think of it, I want to congratulate you. You are getting married."

"Later, Lady Bai and I will each give you a gift."

"???"

"What!!"

After hearing these words, Zhou Langya was stunned.

His teacup fell to the ground and shattered.

"What did you say? How is this possible?!"

"Why is His Majesty granting me marriage again?!"

"...Oh, I don't know what's going on. His Majesty has tied you and Bai Zhiyi together again. Maybe... someone from the Bai family has written to the emperor again."

Pei Huizhou spread his hands and said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes: "Anyway, when I went in, I heard His Majesty say that he would grant a marriage to you and Bai Zhiyi. If he really grants a marriage to the two of you, you will be in trouble."

Pei Huizhou said slowly, "It's a good thing for the emperor to grant me a marriage, but Bai Zhiyi is not a good man. If His Majesty grants him to you, you will be a complete unlucky person."

"Among those generals... most of them don't like Bai Zhiyi. Bai Zhiyi even pushed Murong Jinshu into trouble before. So you can imagine, if His Majesty really gives Bai Zhiyi to you, how are you going to get along with these generals in the future? Don't you agree?"

Hearing this, Zhou Langya nodded grimly, complaining in his heart, and said, "...I don't know what His Majesty was thinking, to actually grant this Bai Zhiyi to me in marriage!"

"How can someone like Bai Zhiyi grant me marriage?! Chao! You are disgusted by cats and dogs! I will go to His Majesty to reason with him now!"

"Hey, wait!!"

Bai Lu and Pei Huizhou quickly pulled him over with one hand each. Pei Huizhou couldn't help but hold his forehead and said, "General Zhou, can't you use your brain? If you go to His Majesty and tell him now, His Majesty will find out! I was the one who revealed this news to you. It's a secret!"

"You must not tell His Majesty! I was the one who revealed this news to you, and you must not act as if... you already knew about this!"

Zhou Langya hurriedly apologized: "I'm so sorry, Master Pei, I was so flustered that I forgot about you! I almost let you slip, I'm so sorry!"

Pei Huizhou sighed and said slowly: "...Forget it, I won't bother with you anymore, let's talk about business now!"

"I went to inquire about it for you! The Queen said that this news should not be spread for the time being. When the three young masters of the Bai family come back, they will take a good look at you and Miss Bai Zhiyi. If they think you are not suitable, then this marriage will be cancelled."

"Now, the imperial edict has even been drafted, and we are just waiting for the three young masters of the Bai family to return."

"How come the imperial edict has already been drafted?!"

Zhou Langya frowned and said uncomfortably: "If I were to marry such a fierce woman, I might as well become a Taoist priest or a monk!"

"I won't marry her!"

Bai Lu frowned: "Now we are waiting for the three young masters of the Bai family to come back so you can meet them!"

"Let's talk to the three young masters of the Bai family and ask them to help you reject this matter."

Pei Huizhou smiled and said, "Madam Bai Lu, what you said is wrong. How could the three young masters of the Bai family refuse this marriage on behalf of General Zhou? You know, General Zhou is indeed a good man. If they marry their sister to him, they will naturally feel relieved."

"The three young masters of the Bai family will surely accept this marriage with great joy!"

"..."

Bai Lu was stunned, and then she heard Zhou Langya nod beside her and said, "That makes sense. The three young masters of the Bai family may not necessarily refuse this marriage for me, but if they don't refuse it for me, I can't think of any good solution for a while."

"...They can refuse the marriage proposal, but I can't."

Zhou Langya said with a somewhat depressed tone, "...Alas, I didn't expect that I would be so miserable now that I have to be tied to this Bai Zhiyi."

"Madam Bailu, what do you think I should do?!"

Bai Lu couldn't help but sigh.

Bai Lu listened to these words and looked at Pei Huizhou in front of her with some surprise.

So... Pei Huizhou came here to tell them about this, is he really that kind?

Pei Huizhou saw Bai Lu looking at him, so he smiled and said to Bai Lu: "Madam Bai Lu, why are you staring at me? I know I'm pretty, but you can't look at me like that."

"???"

(ー_ー)!!

After hearing this, Bai Lu was speechless.

Bai Lu immediately frowned and said, "Your words are really unpleasant to the ear."

Pei Huizhou smiled happily.

He turned to Zhou Langya and said soothingly, "General Zhou, don't worry. Although His Majesty has granted the marriage, the imperial decree has not yet been announced to the world. I will persuade His Majesty with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince later."

"Thank you, Master Pei, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Pei Huizhou's words touched Zhou Langya so much that he said, "From now on, I owe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Pei a favor!"

"Thank you, Lord Pei and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! From now on, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Pei can ask for anything they want, and it will be fine!"

"...Oh, that's out of the question."

"Oh, it's too early for you to say thank you now. I'll help you reject this marriage proposal later."

"..."

Pei Huizhou was smiling.

Bai Lu was listening nearby and felt a little frightened.

So what they said...has already tied Zhou Langya to the prince's party.

No, it seems that there is some open or covert fighting among the princes.

I don’t know if I’m overthinking it, but I always feel like there’s something wrong.

Bai Lu felt that it was not appropriate to stay here for long. She had to leave quickly and run to find the Queen Mother.

There would be no such troubles on the Queen Mother's side. Bai Lu made up an excuse and left.
