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

"The reason why His Majesty granted the marriage to the two of you is because Lady White and General Zhou have divorced and they have nothing to do with each other anymore, so you can grant the marriage at will."

"The fact that they were married before was kept secret for the time being, and not many people knew about it."

"But even if we keep it a secret...if this news is discovered by someone with ulterior motives, and spread everywhere, wouldn't the Bai family be disgraced?"

"Lady Bai is going to be a duke after all. Even if she is not in Kyoto but in Liangzhou, she is still of noble status. Moreover, she is the original wife. Bai Zhiyi's status will always be inferior to Bai Lu's."

"It would be fine if Bai Lu wasn't a baroness, but she is a baroness, the first baroness to be awarded since the founding of our dynasty! So if she marries General Zhou, Bai Zhiyi will be several levels lower..."

As he said that, he turned his head and looked outside the main hall. Bai Zhiyi, who had just walked in, said with a half-smile, "Miss Bai Zhiyi, you have also been listening outside for a long time. Why don't you come in and tell us...Are you willing to marry General Zhou?"

"Even if he was married to Lady Bai Lu before and he was used by Lady Bai Lu, do you think you can be so careless? When the time comes, you should behave like a concubine in front of the original wife. Don't blame us for not reminding you... How embarrassing is that!!"

"!!!"

These words were like a knife stabbing into Bai Zhiyi's heart.

Bai Zhiyi's face was pale, and she looked at Pei Huizhou with trembling lips. Pei Huizhou looked at Bai Zhiyi with a half-smile, and repeated: "Miss Bai Zhiyi, did you hear what I said?"

"..."

Bai Zhiyi remained silent. He wished he could kill Bai Lu at this moment. Why did he have to use what was left by Bai Lu?

My identity is what's left over from Bai Lu, and the husband I want is also what's left over from Bai Lu!

Bai Zhiyi murmured in frustration: "Bai Lu and Zhou Langya actually have such a relationship...Bai Lu and Zhou Langya...how can they have such a relationship?!!!"

She almost cried out loud.

She knew that Bai Lu was a widow with a short-lived husband who went to the battlefield and died. She had been mocking Bai Lu before.

But she didn't expect that... Bai Lu's short-lived husband who went to the battlefield was actually Zhou Langya, who is now successful and famous! This was something Bai Zhiyi never dreamed of.

Bai Zhiyi felt very uncomfortable and asked again in disbelief: "Master Pei, this joke is not easy to make..."

"When did I joke with you? The Crown Prince is next to you." Pei Huizhou pointed at the Crown Prince and said to her, "If you don't believe me, just ask the Crown Prince whether what I said is true or false?!"

Bai Zhiyi turned his head to look at the prince, who nodded solemnly and said, "Zhiyi, what he said is true. Bai Lu and Zhou Langya are indeed in this relationship. If you were with Zhou Langya, wouldn't you be embarrassed in front of Bai Lu?"

"We knew that there were some conflicts between you and Bai Lu. You should think carefully about it. You were eavesdropping just now, so you must have heard what was said. After weighing the pros and cons, you should know what to do and what not to do."

The prince and Pei Huizhou looked at each other and spoke to Bai Zhiyi in unison.

Beside him, Lord Bai was stunned.

Then he turned to look at Bai Zhiyi and said, "If you want to marry, then father will let you marry. If you don't want to marry, father will not let you marry."

"Think about it, whether to marry or not, your father will let you do whatever you want now."

"If you don't want to get married, I can go to the palace and ask for your help. It's fine this way. The emperor won't do anything to me anyway. He'll just scold me at most."

Hearing this, Bai Zhiyi felt uncomfortable, "Father, you are still good to me."

As she said that, she ran directly into Lord Bai's arms, sobbing and saying, "Father, when mother passed away, there was no one to take care of me, leaving me stranded outside. Now... I am finally back and can be filial to you, father. If my mother were here now, how could she let me suffer such injustice?! Wuuwuwu!"

As she spoke, she began to play the emotional card.

Pei Huizhou and the prince looked at each other, and they both had an ominous premonition in their hearts, always feeling that Bai Zhiyi seemed to be up to something bad.

After that, Bai Zhiyi said, "Father, I still want to marry General Zhou. I like his wisdom and bravery, and he has military achievements to his name. He is also upright and loyal... If I marry him, I will surely be able to live with him in love for the rest of my life. Why do we have to have any feelings between husband and wife? The most important thing is to live a simple and happy life."

Hearing this, Lord Bai nodded and said, "That makes sense."

"But... Father, if we want to live a simple and happy life, Bai Lu... must not be allowed to stay in Kyoto."

"Let's get her out of Kyoto right away."

Now I understand. No wonder Zhou Langya went to General Murong's mansion on purpose before. Maybe it was because of Bai Lu.

If Bai Lu was in Kyoto, Zhou Langya would definitely like Bai Lu very much and would never forget her. He would definitely think of their old relationship and would not be with me.

So Bai Lu is now his love rival. He must have someone drive Bai Lu out of Kyoto. Bai Lu must not stay in Kyoto.

"???"

"Kick her out of Kyoto? She's going to be made a duke later, why are you kicking her out of Kyoto?!!"

The prince pointed at Bai Zhiyi, his nose almost crooked with anger, "Why are you talking so absurdly now? You have no sense of shame!!!"

"Besides, they have already divorced. You want to marry Zhou Langya and drive Bai Lu out of Kyoto. What kind of thing is that?!"

"Aren't you using your power to bully others?!"

Bai Zhiyi said: "She will be crowned as a baroness... Then just do it. After she is crowned, give her some silver and let her leave Kyoto as soon as possible."

As he spoke, Bai Zhiyi timidly said to the Crown Prince: "Crown Prince, after all, you and I are relatives, why... why are you saying such harsh words?"

"You and I are indeed related, but you should also know that I am the crown prince, so I will naturally stand for justice. What you said is so shameless, why should I stand for you? If I stand for you, everyone in the world will laugh at me!"

"Drive Bai Lu out of Kyoto... What does Bai Lu's presence have to do with you?!"

"Whether Zhou Langya gets married or not has nothing to do with her! Don't drag her into this! After all, they have already divorced! But you will definitely be embarrassed in front of her!"

"I'm telling you, if you dare to do something like this, I will tell my father everything!"

Then the prince said angrily, "Let's go back to the boat! Let's go quickly. I really don't want to see them."
