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

Bai Lu nodded, and then calmly put on the marquis's red robe embroidered with python patterns, and her makeup also exuded a sharp and heroic air.

By the time I finished combing my hair, the sky was just getting light.

Bai Lu saw Murong Jinshu yawning beside her, so she also started to comb her hair and put on her clothes. She was going to the palace to attend a banquet today, so she needed to dress up a little. She couldn't wear ordinary clothes, which looked rustic.

Bai Lu couldn't help laughing when she saw Murong Jinshu dressing with her eyes closed. Little Jinshu must have been disturbed by her, so she didn't sleep well at night.

By the time they both closed their eyes and finally finished dressing up, it was time to attend the palace banquet.

As soon as Bai Lu and Murong Jinshu went out, they saw General Murong, Madam Murong and a few boys standing in front of the door, looking at them nervously.

Seeing that Bai Lu was wearing very neat and elegant clothes, everyone opened their mouths wide, nodded in amazement, and said, "Mrs. Bai is really beautiful!"

"...Why does this look even more beautiful than yesterday?"

"After all, we've been busy from morning till night. If it's not as good as yesterday, what's the point of spending all this time?"

Bai Lu shook her head and said helplessly. She applied countless secret beauty creams from the palace on her face and put on makeup for so long, so it must look good.

Bai Lu said to everyone, "Okay, let's go to the palace to attend the banquet!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone heard a voice coming from not far away. Zhou Langya's voice was cheerful.

"Marquis Anguo, are you done packing?"

Bai Lu and the others all turned around and saw Zhou Langya, who was dressed in red and green like a bridegroom today.

He smiled and bowed to everyone, saying, "I have been waiting for you here for a long time."

"My sedan is outside! You have a large family and the sedan will be crowded...why don't we, the generals, go together, and the women in our family can ride in my sedan."

"Who wants to ride in your sedan?" Upon hearing this, Murong Jinshu immediately glared at him and said with a pout, "It's better to ride in our Murong Mansion's sedan, Sister Bai!"

Having said that, Murong Jinshu pulled Bai Lu without further ado and asked Bai Lu to sit in the Murong family's sedan chair.

What is Zhou Langya's identity? Murong Jinshu naturally knew, he was Bai Lu's ex-husband, how could he possibly ride in Bai Lu's ex-husband's sedan chair?

This seems to make Bai Lu and Zhou Langya seem to have that kind of relationship.

Bai Lu and Zhou Langya looked at each other, and Zhou Langya looked embarrassed. He didn't expect... that Murong Jinshu was so hostile to him.

Before he could open his mouth to explain, he heard a laughing voice coming from behind him.

General Shi laughed and said, "General Zhou, how can you get ahead of us now? All of you please move aside and let Lady Bai take my sedan chair."

"Of course, the sedan chair in Murong Mansion cannot accommodate anyone... As for General Zhou, you are young, and it is not appropriate for Miss Murong and Miss Bai to sit in your sedan chair."

"But there is no problem riding in the sedan chair of our General Shi's Mansion."

After General Shi finished speaking, General Li suddenly appeared from behind him.

They were all dressed up beautifully, and it was obvious that they attached great importance to Bai Lu's title of Duchess.

General Li laughed and said, "Why not take my sedan chair? My sedan chair is airtight and tightly sealed, so Lady Bai will not get cold."

"Besides, you have been in Kyoto for such a long time and have been staying in the Murong family. Why not let my Li family also benefit from it?"

"It's impossible that all good things will happen to the Murong family, right?"

"Come, come, come, take my sedan chair!"

After hearing these kind words, Bai Lu thought about it and finally followed General Li into his sedan chair.

As a result, she had just entered and hadn't even sat down when she heard an angry shout from not far away: "Bai Lu!"

Bai Lu lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and saw Bai Qingze riding a horse, followed by a very luxurious sedan chair from the Bai family. The sedan chair was pulled by sixteen horses and was made entirely of red sandalwood, with intricate patterns carved on it, and even mother-of-pearl, covering the entire carriage shed, which was quite exaggerated.

Bai Qingze frowned and said to everyone with a cold face: "Didn't I send a letter to the Murong family before? I'm here to pick up my sister today."

"Why, didn't you tell Bai Lu?"

"......" General Murong's mouth twitched. Of course, he didn't tell Bai Lu. Their Bai family and Murong family were enemies for generations, so some of the letters from the Bai family... they just threw them away without opening them. Unexpectedly, this time it was Bai Qingze who sent the letter...

General Murong couldn't help but twitching the corners of his mouth and looked embarrassed towards Bai Lu.

Bai Lu naturally understood what he meant. She smiled and shook her head. She turned to Bai Qingze and said with a smile, "Third brother, I want to ride in General Li's sedan chair."

"I... don't want to ride in the Bai family's sedan chair."

Hearing this, Bai Qingze was stunned.

He said with an unnatural expression: "You...you don't like Third Brother either?" There was some hurt in his eyes.

Bai Lu raised her eyebrows and asked him with a smile: "Speaking of which, Third Brother, didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say that you had something important to do? You can't show up at this banquet."

"Why, you're back?"

Bai Qingze smiled and nodded, with an indescribable sadness in his eyes. He reached out his hand and wanted to touch Bai Lu's hair.

"Yeah... Third brother is back."

"Brother, you originally had something important to attend this banquet, but after all, my sister is going to be crowned a baron, so you must attend such a grand occasion."

"You will only have this glorious moment once in your life."

"Brother is happy when he thinks that you are the daughter of my Bai family, that you are my mother's daughter, and that you are a heroine."

"My brother will definitely see you get the title of Marquis."

When Bai Lu got married, he, as her brother, didn't see it. When Bai Lu was bullied, he, as her brother, couldn't help her. If he couldn't see the scene of her being made a duke, then he really wasn't worthy of being her brother.

Bai Qingze's eyes were filled with deep sadness.

Bai Lu looked at him, and even almost...didn't dare to look directly into his eyes. Unconsciously, Bai Lu felt that her heart was a little bitter. This feeling was really strange.

Bai Qingze said: "So, are you willing to take your brother's car?"
