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

Shangguan Yi nodded, and she looked at Bai Lu with some admiration: "Sister Bai, I like you very much, you are my role model. You are really great at doing business..."

"I hope that our Shangguan family can not only become the richest family in Qingzhou, but also that if I start a business on my own, I can become the richest family in the state!"

Bai Lu smiled and nodded, her eyes full of admiration: "Okay, Shangguan Yi, you have to work hard."

Shangguan Yi is actually very good, second only to Shangguan Fusheng. In fact, her business skills are not worse than Bailu's, but she just hasn't had a suitable opportunity. Moreover, she doesn't have as many ingenious products as Bailu.

Bai Lu strolled around inside, experienced the scrubbing, and ate some roujiamo and liangpi. The food of various flavors was quite in line with Bai Lu's impression. They were all delicious and in line with the local characteristics. She lay in the steam room, sweating profusely, and thought: How nice it would be if I could live comfortably day by day.

In the steam room, she was sweating and her body became smoother. Just as she was lying down and almost falling asleep, she heard the Queen Mother's anxious voice next to her: "Oh, Bai Lu, why are you falling asleep so quickly?"

"Huh?" Why is the Queen Mother here?

She turned her head and saw the Queen Mother standing next to her.

The Queen Mother jumped up and down, and immediately handed a letter to Bai Lu, saying with a gloomy face, "Hurry up and take a look. This is a letter sent to you by your elder brother from Kyoto."

After Bai Lu finished reading it, her face turned completely black. She didn't expect such a thing to happen. She was shocked and said to the Queen Mother decisively: "This Xu family is not a good family! We must root it out."

The Queen Mother nodded, and then said to Bai Lu with a serious expression: "Others may not know, but I know... The Xu family has produced several censors in every generation. Although on the surface they appear to be a powerful family of scholars, loyal ministers and good wives, their family is clinging to power! They only marry daughters and sons from wealthy families."

"So...if your eldest brother breaks off Xu Wanrong's engagement, I'm afraid that their family will marry Xu Wanrong, who has a bad reputation, to someone who is not so good."

"So I think if Xu Wanrong is smarter, she will burn her boats and directly..."

"I will come to Qingzhou! To find our Lie Zhao!"

The Queen Mother was just analyzing. But she didn't expect that everything would turn out just as she analyzed. Bai Lu listened to this and said to the Queen Mother with a smile: "No matter what, we have to have a way to deal with it."

"If she comes to Qingzhou to look for my second brother, I will come forward to stop her."

"I don't want my second brother to be coerced by others. Of course, I hope he can be happier."

"...I see that my second brother and Shangguan Yi are getting along well. It would be bad if they broke up just because of Xu Wanrong."

Bai Lu frowned slightly and said to the Queen Mother: "I know about this matter, Queen Mother, I will solve it."

"Why don't we wait until Xu Wanrong arrives in Qingzhou before making any plans? Let's go back to Liangzhou and stay here for a while."

"And I calculated that after my brother sent this letter...according to Kyoto time, it won't be long before she comes to Qingzhou."

It is estimated that Xu Wanrong will arrive here in three or two days.

Bai Lu frowned slightly and said to the Queen Mother, "My Queen Mother, once this matter is resolved, I will have to ask you to return to Kyoto."

The Queen Mother immediately understood what Bai Lu meant and said with a frown, "Don't worry, I will definitely go back to Kyoto."

"The evil emperor didn't help you, but helped Bai Yansong and Concubine Liang instead! He is really bold."

Bai Lu couldn't help but smile when she saw the Queen Mother rubbing her hands in anticipation. Bai Lu smiled and nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble the Queen Mother."

"Oh, you are just being polite. It's really no trouble. I cherish you as if you were my own sister."

The Queen Mother's eyes flashed with distress. You know how old Bai Lu is, and she is already thinking about her brother and helping them. It's really not easy for Bai Lu. Such a good person, why does the emperor side with Bai Yansong and his family...

There is something wrong with the emperor.

The Queen Mother disliked the Emperor very much and said with a frown: "If I had known this would happen, I would have strangled him to death!!"

"Alas, the Queen Mother, why do you have to say such things? Maybe His Majesty has his own considerations." But Bai Lu secretly flattered the emperor, "The Queen Mother, please don't beat His Majesty later."

"Don't worry, I will definitely beat him up."

"If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten. If jade is not polished, it will not become a useful object. If a child is disobedient, he must be beaten. If I don't... I would be unworthy of my status."

Only the Empress Dowager and the Emperor Retired could beat the Emperor. The Empress Dowager had not used swords or guns for so many years that the Emperor had forgotten how he was beaten when he was a child. The Empress Dowager was furious!

At this time, someone outside came to report: "Marquis Anguo, the head of the Shangguan family is here, do you want to see him or not?"

Bai Lu was stunned. She didn't expect Shangguan Fusheng to come at this time. Bai Lu nodded and said, "Please ask the Shangguan family master to come in."

"Yes."

Shangguan Fusheng came in quickly.

When he came in, he looked dusty and his face looked ugly, as if something big had happened.

Shangguan Fusheng glanced at the empress dowager next to him again, and quickly dismissed everyone else in the sauna room and drove away the people outside.

The temperature of the sauna was too high, and a thin layer of sweat soon appeared on Shangguan Fusheng's head.

He said to the Queen Mother and Bai Lu: "Queen Mother, Marquis Anguo, there are no outsiders in this room, and the sound insulation of the steam room is also good... I will just say it straight!"

“Something big happened!!”

"Didn't the Turks rob my shop before? Those Turks... I really thought they were foreigners who didn't understand the rules of our Tang Dynasty. Later I found out that it wasn't the case."

Shangguan Fusheng was very serious. "After those Turks knew that I was the head of the Shangguan family and that all the businesses in Qingzhou were under my control...they became even more aggressive, destroying the Shangguan family's shops and stealing their business. Today, two people were killed!"

"One of the two boys was 18 and the other 20 years old. One of them had just gotten married and his wife had just had a child... The other one was the only child in the family, and his mother and father cried until their eyes went blind!"
