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

The mat could barely be considered a quilt, and all the conditions were extremely simple, but this was all Zhao Cuicui's own fault.

Two days later, Gu Liang returned to Qingzhou Prefecture from Bailudong Academy.

As soon as he arrived at Qingzhou Prefecture, he went to visit the Qingzhou prefect.

The governor of Qingzhou got the news from Bai Lu early in the morning, and angrily said to Sun Nanxing in the study: "Look! What kind of people did your brother Gu meet?"

"Fortunately, you have a kind mother... If you met someone like this, you would want to die immediately."

"This Zhao Cuicui has caused such a big disaster for your brother Gu! Fortunately, Bai Niangzi is open-minded, otherwise... at this moment, I am afraid I can no longer recognize him as my godson."

Listening to these words, Sun Nanxing also sighed and said: “However, Brother Gu is a resolute person. Although he thought about the friendship between Gu Nian and Zhao Cuicui, he handled the matter well.”

"That must be dealt with! If he doesn't deal with it, I might as well do it for him!"

"And do you think... White Snake is someone that is so easy to mess with?"

The prefect of Qingzhou was sharp-eyed. "She is from the Bai family! The best merchant family in the world! Moreover, she did business in Liangzhou in her early years, supported her family and family, and was safe and sound during the rebellion in Liangzhou... She is definitely not someone who can be easily messed with."

"If he provokes her like this, there's no telling what White Snake will do to him behind his back."

The prefect of Qingzhou hit the nail on the head. Bai Lu was indeed the one behind the scenes, but Zhao Cuicui's miserable plight...will be known later.

Not long after, Gu Liang came to the study to report the matter to the Qingzhou governor and apologized to him profusely.

He brought some more gifts and filled up the study.

He didn't have much money to begin with, and now he's even thinner.

Looking at his appearance, the Qingzhou prefect felt a little distressed.

Gu Liang said slowly: "Father... It is really my fault now. I actually let my mother speak nonsense in the Qingzhou Prefecture and offended the Marquis of Anguo! This matter... Please don't bother with her. I beg you to go back and find out what the Marquis of Anguo has to say. Don't let the Marquis of Anguo get angry with you."

"If anything happens, I will take all the responsibility."

Hearing this, the Qingzhou governor sighed.

Gu Liang spoke from the bottom of his heart again: "...I will not take her here from now on. When I have achieved success and fame and have been selected by His Majesty, I will come back to pick up my mother."

"Before that, don't let her meet White Snake and the others."

“The same goes for the rest of this.”

Hearing these sincere words, the Qingzhou governor sighed that Gu Liang acted quickly and handled the matter very neatly, and said distressedly: "It's really hard for you."

"...You have never had a biological father or mother since you were a child. Even though your godfather and godmother raised you and treated you very well, they are really confused about things like this!!"

"If you are talking about his food, clothing, shelter and transportation, Zhao Cuicui and that father really helped a lot. But if it comes to helping you with your career or marriage, Zhao Cuicui is actually a hindrance! For a moment, I can't even tell whether it is good or bad."

Zhao Cuicui is a very complicated person. She is nice to Gu Liang, but she also has many bad sides.

For a moment, I couldn't figure out whether Gu Liang should be filial or unfilial.

Maybe traditional Chinese parents...are all so complicated.

Take Sun Nanxing for example. Sun Nanxing’s father was naturally good to him, but on the other hand.

Sun Nanxing has a half-brother, and after his mother passed away, the prefect of Qingzhou doted on his aunt alone. He really felt that... this whole ordeal was somewhat unfair to his mother.

He immediately felt that something was wrong with the Qingzhou prefect.

But can you say that the Qingzhou governor didn't love him? No.

Maybe in this world...the only feeling of love and hate, a mixture of love and hate, is the most real.

Whether it is family, love or friendship, it is like this.

The topic of the conversation with the Qingzhou governor was also a bit heavy, and then I heard the Qingzhou governor say: "You should be careful in the near future. Last time, the Shangguan family killed several Turks, and now some of the Shangguan family's shops in Qingzhou are in trouble."

"Some shops in Qingzhou City were not robbed, but in several other counties, shops that were closer to the foreign countries were directly robbed!"

After hearing these words, Sun Nanxing and Gu Liang's expressions froze, and they both nodded slowly.

Sun Nanxing asked worriedly, "Are there any casualties?"

When the Qingzhou governor heard this, his expression relaxed and he said to the two men, "There are no casualties! Don't worry."

"The head of the Shangguan family had already issued an iron order to Miss Shangguan, asking the people under him to guard the store well and to carry weapons on weekdays, so there were no casualties."

"Moreover, the shops under White Lady also sent people to help. Some unlucky people were slightly injured, but nothing serious."

Hearing this, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Liang said: "It seems that we all need to be vigilant in Qingzhou."

The prefect of Qingzhou nodded and sighed, "I have asked Lady Bai to write a letter to Kyoto. I believe that His Majesty will give instructions soon. Let's see what to do."

"...I have been really scared these past few days! The Turks are jealous of the Shangguan family and will definitely try to take revenge."

Sun Nanxing also said: "This Shangguan family master is also a wonderful person, and he has backbone!"

"Just leave this matter to our government."

The Qingzhou governor immediately perked up and praised Shangguan Fusheng, "Of course. Do you think the Shangguan family master is a playboy of your age?! Speaking of which... he is not much older than you, but even I have to be polite to him when I see him."

The Qingzhou governor rolled his eyes at Sun Nanxing and said, "Think about it carefully. The Shangguan family master is the leader of these merchants, and he is of the same generation as the rest of us! On the contrary... you two are about the same age, but you are the Shangguan family master's junior!"

The head of the Shangguan family and Miss Shangguan have made the Shangguan family successful and have been doing business for the past few years...covering all aspects of Qingzhou. They have achieved their success step by step and working diligently.

None of them are taking advantage of the situation, or doing clever business like Bai Lu...both the brand and the reputation have been established, which is amazing."

"Even if Bai Lu comes, we have to give them some ground."

The fact that the head of the Shangguan family has such backbone is even more admirable.
