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

"alright."

Sun Nanxing nodded with some regret.

Seeing him walking away, Sun Nanxing couldn't help but look up at the Qingzhou prefect and said to him.

"Dad, tell me, why is Gu Liang doing this? There's no need to be so decisive..."

The Qingzhou governor couldn't help but roll his eyes at Sun Nanxing: "Why are you talking about others behind their backs? Besides, why bother? They are happy to do this."

"He knows what he wants. If he doesn't have such determination! He doesn't deserve to marry Bai Lu after he becomes successful!!"

"You should study hard."

As he said this, he waved his sleeves and asked Sun Nanxing to follow him into the yard.

As soon as I entered the yard.

He heard the housekeeper come and report to him, "White Lady gave you a gift, which is now in a mahogany box in your study."

"What is it?"

"Madam Bailu didn't say."

The butler shook his head.

Sun Nanxing, who was standing beside him, was a little curious. He immediately went to the Qingzhou governor and said with a smile, "Father, what is it? Oh... White Snake actually gave you a gift, why didn't she give me one?"

The Qingzhou governor rolled his eyes again and was speechless: "Why do you want everything?"

"If a foreign man like you, who is about the same age as Bai Niangzi, gives you a gift, wouldn't that be inappropriate? Wouldn't that ruin both your and Bai Niangzi's reputations?"

Hearing this, Sun Nanxing felt that it made sense, nodded and said, "Hey, it seems to be true."

When he arrived at the study, the Qingzhou prefect opened the box and found something emitting a bright light. It was a huge night-shining pearl.

He laughed heartily, holding the night-shining pearl and looking at it from top to bottom and from left to right, "Oh, it's so big and round!!"

It seemed to be exactly the same as the ones White Snake had given to several other wealthy businessmen before.

It seems that White Snake specially left one for me!

The prefect of Qingzhou was very surprised. He held the night pearl in his hands and couldn't let it go. He looked at it again and again and was reluctant to put it down.

Finally, place it in a more conspicuous position on the bookcase.

The Qingzhou governor nodded, very satisfied, "This way, we can always see the kindness of Lady Bai."

He just felt that this child was really very good.

Bai Lu is very smart, gentle, and considerate of herself. The two of them really get along well with each other!

After seeing the night-shining pearl that Bai Lu gave him, the prefect of Qingzhou hummed a little tune with a happy expression and went to the main hall to have dinner with Sun Nanxing.

Bai Lu and the others were also in the main hall, waiting for dinner.

At the dinner table, the governor of Qingzhou thanked Bailu: "Thank you, Bailu, for giving me a night-shining pearl."

"It's so big, it must be a lot of silver."

"Hey, I'll find a way to return the money for the Night Pearl to you later."

"Why should we be polite to each other, Uncle Sun?" Bai Lu said to the Qingzhou prefect with a smile, "You always said that I was polite to you before, calling you Lord Sun or Lord Prefect, and never uncle. Now that I give you a night-shining pearl, you are talking to me about money."

"The relationship between us cannot be measured by money."

After hearing this, the Qingzhou prefect didn't know what to say next. He just thought about how to repay the favor of the silver and make sure Bai Lu didn't suffer any loss.

At the dinner table, the Queen Mother asked Bai Lu again, "Did everything go well for you today? Everyone in your Bai family... is so radiant and looks so happy."

Bai Lu smiled and said, "Indeed, everything is going well and the business is doing well."

I have to thank the head of the Shangguan family and several other wealthy businessmen for helping me, recruiting people and setting up the venue for me.

In addition, their modern business philosophy is one step ahead of the ancient times, and directly fooled those ancient merchants and people. They all liked the things sold by Bai Lu's family, and they were willing to buy them no matter how much money they spent.

Hearing Bai Lu say that everything went smoothly, the Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Wait a minute, do you want me to help you with the Bai family's accounts?"

Bai Lu nodded and smiled, "Indeed, you have to help me with the accounts."

Shen Congyun, Bai Lu, Bai Qingze and Luo Niangzi are mainly responsible for the accounts. It may take them about an entire night. If the empress dowager helps, they can probably go to bed in the middle of the night.

Now that the business has just opened, everything is very busy. With the Queen Mother's help...it will definitely be much easier.

They were eating when they heard a voice coming from outside.

The servant came to report, "Master Shangguan, Miss Shangguan Yi, and the second son of the Bai family are here."

Are the three of them back?

Bai Lu was stunned. When she looked up, she saw that the servant had brought back three people with different temperaments.

Bai Lu was very happy to see the three of them. She smiled at them and said, "You are back after finishing your work. We will talk about the specialty shop later. Let's sit here and eat first."

All three people breathed a sigh of relief.

No one knew what the three of them were doing, but they were all very tired and looked miserable.

Shangguan Yi's arms were so stiff that he seemed unable to lift them.

They all nodded, sat down and started to eat voraciously, leaving no time for conversation.

Seeing how tired they were, Bai Lu and the others were very curious. They were just running a specialty shop, but they were so exhausted...did something terrible happen?

After finishing the meal, everyone took a short rest, and Bai Lu took Bai Qingze and others to sort out the accounts.

At this moment, the shopkeepers of the Bai Family Treasure Pavilion and other four shops in the main city of Qingzhou Prefecture were already waiting in a small room in the Qingzhou Prefecture—

This was a study room specially cleared out for them by the Qingzhou governor, specifically for them to use for accounting. There were several tables inside, as well as a lot of pens, ink, paper and inkstones, which was very convenient.

Shangguan Fusheng, Shangguan Yi and Bai Liezhao also went with them.

After the three of them went over, Shangguan Fusheng and Shangguan Yi smiled at Bai Lu and said, "How about we help you sort out the accounts?"

"Of course, we are from the Shangguan family and we are in charge, so we are afraid that we may overreach. So we thought about it, Lady White... why don't we just help you sort out some unnecessary accounts?"

"Simple account books like the one at the rice shop can all be handed over to us. One more person means more strength."

After hearing this, Bai Lu looked at Shangguan Fusheng and Shangguan Yi with some surprise. What on earth did Bai Liezhao do to make Shangguan Fusheng and Shangguan Yi so close to their Bai family?

Bai Lu nodded and said with a smile: "Then I'd better obey your command. We are indeed short of people."
