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

I only heard from the Qingzhou prefect that even if Bai Lu continued to do business for another 10 years, he would still be unable to catch up with the Shangguan family in terms of wealth.

Bai Lu didn't think the Qingzhou governor was boastful. After all, she had no idea what the Shangguan family's background was.

In the main hall.

Bailu sat down and started eating.

Today I made seafood porridge, and also made a lot of shrimp dumplings and braised pork.

Although I didn't have much appetite for meat early in the morning during the White Dew Festival, I thought about it and picked up a piece with chopsticks.

If I don’t eat meat, I’m afraid I will lose my strength.

She was eating when she heard the housekeeper suddenly come forward and say something to Bai Lu.

Bai Lu was eating happily. After hearing this, she was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand."

Her smile did not reach her eyes. She did not expect that such a thing could happen.

Bai Lu's face gradually became less attractive.

This Zhao Cuicui is Gu Liang's mother. I didn't want to pay attention to her at first, but for Gu Liang's sake, I don't care what she says behind my back.

However, if she openly came to cause trouble for herself, Bai Lu would never let her go.

There was a gleam of ruthlessness in Bai Lu's eyes.

She was not a saint. She had tolerated Zhao Cuicui time and again only for Gu Liang's sake.

......But Gu Liang's face is not so easy to use. How can he be so shameless? Let himself tolerate it again and again.

Zhao Cuicui went even further and actually said she was coming to visit me...

She knew exactly what she was planning.

Bai Lu suddenly became unhappy, and the people around her were a little confused.

Mrs. Luo was sitting next to Bai Lu. She smiled softly at Bai Lu and said, "Why are you still unhappy? If there is anything that makes you unhappy, tell me later. I will listen and tell me how I can help you."

After hearing what Madam Luo said, Bai Lu forced a smile at her. She was about to say that it was no big deal, but then she heard a report from outside.

"Sir, the Marquis of Anguo, the head of the Shangguan family, and Miss Shangguan are here."

The prefect of Qingzhou also arrived at this time and sat at the table to eat.

They came in twos and threes, not all of them. Whoever came could eat instead of waiting to eat together.

Shen Congyun and the others were not here at this time. Only Mrs. Luo, Bai Lu and the prefect of Qingzhou were sitting at the table.

Yesterday, Shangguan Fusheng and Shangguan Yi both slept in the Qingzhou Prefecture, so they had breakfast here in the morning.

After Shangguan Fusheng and Shangguan Yi arrived, Shangguan Fusheng said to Bai Lu: "Um... Lady Bai, I'm really sorry, I'm afraid I can't show you the account book today, I have something to do."

"But when I have time, I will go and help you check it out."

After all, the Shangguan family has a lot of things to do. If Shangguan Fusheng didn't have some little plan in mind, he would never have followed Bai Lu to look at the account book for so long.

You know, his time was not wasted.

Bai Lu nodded with a smile, and then said, "Okay, then Patriarch Shangguan can just go and do his own thing."

Shangguan Fusheng smiled and nodded.

Then I heard Shangguan Yi beside me say sweetly: "But Bai Niangzi, I will help you check the account books, and I have nothing to do these days, I can follow you around the store for a day!!!"

"Okay."

Bai Lu was happy, so she smiled at Shangguan Yi and said, "Our Miss Shangguan has worked hard."

"No hard work, no hard work."

Shangguan Yi waved her hands, very happy. She smiled and said to Bai Lu, "I like Bai Niangzi. I like helping Bai Niangzi the most~(???????)"

Hearing her playful words, Bai Lu smiled happily, and said to Shangguan Yi gently: "Miss Shangguan, you are so nice."

This girl doesn't seem to be as thoughtful as her brother, but she is much more sincere than her brother, and Bai Lu likes her very much.

There was sincerity in Bai Lu's smile.

Shangguan Fusheng looked around and asked casually, "Why hasn't Bai Liezhao gotten up yet?"

"Oh, my second brother was too busy last night, so he slept a little longer this morning."

Bai Lu answered truthfully.

Shangguan Yi started to joke with her brother: "You are not a nosy person, but now that you have met Lady Bai Lu, you have become worried. You keep asking why this relative didn't come, why that relative didn't come..."

"Oh, it seems like he is not Bai Lu's brother, but my brother."

Shangguan Fusheng: “…”

"What do you know!"

Shangguan Yi thought to himself that maybe he needed to help his brother do something.

Now there were not many people at the dinner table. By the time Madam Luo and the prefect of Qingzhou finished their meal, there were only three of them left at the table.

Shangguan Yi asked the butler and the others to go down first, and then he started asking Bai Lu.

"Lady Bai, after your husband passed away, did you ever think about remarrying?"

"?????"

Bailu spit out a mouthful of food!!

She looked up and pretended to be calm as she looked at Shangguan Yi. She didn't expect Shangguan Yi to ask such a question.

Bai Lu was stunned, so she didn't answer her question, but asked, "What's wrong?"

Shangguan Yi insisted and asked Bai Lu: "...Do you have any ideas in this regard?"

"If there is, maybe... I can introduce it to you."

Hearing this, Shangguan Fusheng next to her suddenly knocked her on the head and said with a serious face.

"What are you talking about? How can you ask White Snake like this? It's really rude."

It would be really embarrassing if it caused trouble for Bai Lu...

Shangguan Yi is still an unmarried girl, why did she suddenly ask this? ? ?

Shangguan Yi didn't care about that and said to Bai Lu sincerely: "Lady Bai, just tell me, tell me."

"If you have that idea, you can consider my brother!"

"My brother is just a businessman, but he is handsome and has a good personality. He has always been very nice to me! And there is not even a concubine in the courtyard. He has never had that experience since he was a child."

After hearing this, Shangguan Fusheng spat out a mouthful of rice.

Shangguan Fusheng went up and covered Shangguan Yi's mouth, and flew into a rage: "Shangguan Yi, what are you talking about?!"

After hearing this, Bai Lu felt extremely embarrassed and her face turned red. She spoke to Shangguan Fusheng and the others in panic.

"I'm done eating, I'll leave first."

Bai Lu got up in a hurry and ran away.

Shangguan Yi saw Bai Lu running away, so he chased after her: "Hey, Lady Bai, don't run away. Actually, my brother has always liked you!"
