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

"Definitely next time."

Bai Qingze: “…”

Bai Qingze looked at Bai Lu with an unpleasant expression, his eyes full of hurt.

"What? Next time? In other words...you don't want to ride in your brother's car this time?"

"Yes, this time, Third Brother, you came here in the Bai family's carriage. It was really too high-profile. You knew that I didn't want to have anything to do with the Bai family, but you still came here in the Bai family's carriage."

"Then you should have prepared yourself mentally. I will not follow you in the Bai family's carriage to the palace."

"..."

Bai Qingze was silent for a moment, then nodded, shook his head and sighed, his handsome face full of paleness.

"Yes, I have made preparations long ago. You will not follow the Bai family's carriage to the palace."

"Yes, so in that case, Third Brother, I won't go to the palace with you this time, but I will definitely do so next time."

Bai Lu patted Bai Qingze's shoulder, and sat down in the sedan chair in General Li's mansion with Murong Jinshu.

Bai Qingze looked at the sedan chair from General Li's mansion moving forward with a confused look on his face.

He looked at the sedan chair slowly leaving and felt extremely melancholy.

Bai Lu still recognizes him as her brother, but Bai Lu does not recognize the Bai family.

Yes, I should have gone to pick up Bai Lu as her brother, instead of pulling the Bai family's carriage over.

Isn't it touching Bai Lu's reverse scale to pick her up like this?

Bai Qingze was extremely upset.

He seemed to understand something.

When Zhou Langya saw Bai Qingze returning in a huff, he immediately stepped forward and said with a smile, "Hey, Third Young Master, you didn't catch up with Lady Bai?"

"Haha, this is quite normal. White Snake didn't ride in our carriage...hahaha."

He wanted to comfort Bai Qingze, but Bai Qingze glared at Zhou Langya and said angrily, "You lecher, don't talk to my Bai Lu!"

"You are not allowed to talk to me anymore! Humph!"

Having said that, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and left.

He swung his sleeves so violently as to leave that he almost hit Zhou Langya in the face.

Zhou Langya: “???”

Damn, the third son of the Bai family is sick!

But then, I realized...my current identity is indeed a bit embarrassing.

After all, he is now Bai Lu's ex-husband, and he almost married Bai Qingze's fake sister, so Bai Qingze must not like him.

It was good enough that Bai Qingze didn't punch me a few times.

Zhou Langya's mouth twitched, feeling a little aggrieved. He never expected that he had become a "dog thing" hated by everyone.

Seeing Zhou Langya's sad expression, the generals next to him laughed so hard that they almost laughed out loud.

They smiled and said, "Okay, okay, let's go quickly. General Li's sedan has gone far away, and we won't be able to keep up with Lady Bai and Miss Murong."

Everyone hurriedly followed and moved forward.

Halfway through their journey, they saw the carriage of Duke Liang's mansion suddenly appear in the middle of the road.

Ximen Liuyun and the young prince jumped out of the carriage and shouted at the carriage of General Murong's mansion, "Is Lady Bai in there? Is Lady Bai in there?"

Hearing these two familiar shouts, Bai Lu quickly lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and said to the young prince and Ximen Liuyun with a smile: "I'm here!"

Seeing that Bai Lu was actually in the sedan chair in General Li's mansion, the young prince and Ximen Liuyun were very happy and jumped forward.

The people from General Li's mansion hurriedly stopped and saluted the young prince and Ximen Liuyun.

The young prince and Ximen Liuyun are among the top dignitaries in Kyoto, which is much more noble than their military generals.

After all, the little prince is the empress dowager's late-born son and is very favored. The emperor also likes the little prince very much.

This young master Ximen Liuyun... is the son of the Duke of Liang's Mansion, and his status is even more noble. There are only a few Duke's Mansions in the whole capital, so they all come from wealthy families.

These people are several levels lower than Ximen Liuyun and the little prince.

Although saying this may make me sound inferior, the hierarchy among the nobles in ancient times was strict.

Ximen Liuyun and the young prince bowed to them very respectfully, then smiled at Bai Lu inside and said, "Lady Bai, let's take a carriage."

"Come on, come on, let's take the carriage of the Duke of Liang's Mansion."

Ximen Liuyun patted his chest and smiled sweetly at Bai Lu, looking like a simple young man from a noble family who was ignorant of the ways of the world.

Looking at his smile, Bai Lu couldn't tell what she felt in her heart. She couldn't tell Ximen Liuyun the truth that his aunt, now stepmother, wanted to harm him.

Bai Lu sighed, but his eyes softened towards Ximen Liuyun. He smiled at the young prince and Ximen Liuyun and said, "I won't ride in the carriage of your Duke of Liang's mansion."

"How about this, we all ride in General Li's sedan chair and give General Li's mansion some face."

Hearing this, General Li immediately stepped forward, bowed to the young prince and Ximen Liuyun, and said, "Then please ask the young prince and the prince to get in the carriage."

"That's good too. It also makes me, Old Li, look good."

He was happy when he thought of the young prince and Ximen Liuyun riding in his sedan chair.

After hearing this, Ximen Liuyun and the young prince looked at each other, nodded, and followed the women in General Li's mansion.

The two of them got into the sedan together. It was the first time that Miss Murong saw Ximen Liuyun. She greeted him with a smile, and also greeted the young prince.

A few people gathered together, and after a while they became familiar with each other and started talking in whispers.

The little prince smiled and said, "The Bai family's Seven Fairies Milk Tea Shop has now been transferred to the name of Lady Bai. Lady Bai's shop has launched several new products, such as ice cream and small cream cakes. They are all very delicious. I wonder if you have ever tried them."

“We tried the new product that day, it was really delicious…”

The young prince and Ximen Liuyun looked at each other and both wanted to partner with Bai Lu to do the Seven Fairies Milk Tea Shop business.

In the past, the business of the Seven Fairies Milk Tea Shop was handled by the Bai family. It was such a high-profit business, and other noble families wanted to get involved, but the Bai family was all-powerful and wanted to dominate the market and monopolize the profits, so other families had no say at all. Only the Bai Lu and Bai families were cooperating.

But now... the Bai family has been completely kicked out. Now, Bai Lu is the only one running the business of the Seven Fairies Milk Tea Shop, so they can also intervene.

The young prince and the queen mother naturally wanted to contribute a share.

As for Ximen Liuyun...Ximen Liuyun didn't know whether to invest or not, but the young prince told him to invest, so he decided to invest.

Ximen Liuyun smiled and said, "But...my mother said that she didn't have that much money to put into it, and she said she would only give me one thousand taels of silver."

"One thousand taels of silver?"

The young prince's voice suddenly rose, "Didn't we agree before that I would bet five thousand taels of silver and you would also bet five thousand taels of silver?"

"If you only invest one thousand taels of silver, it doesn't matter whether you make money or not! Even if you make money, it's estimated that you won't make a few thousand taels of silver."

"But my mother said...I'm still young, and she wouldn't let me contribute any money!"
