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

Later, I will have to talk to His Majesty in the letter and see if I can give some praise to the head of the Shangguan family...

The Shangguan family has been really busy lately. Not only is the head of the Shangguan family busy, but his sister is also busy.

Shangguan Yi was so busy that he almost forgot about Bai Liezhao.

As for Bai Liezhao... no matter how uncomfortable it made her, she couldn't care less about it. She had to deal with the things at home quickly.

The businesses of the Shangguan family in the county below were affected, and the Turks seemed to bear a grudge against the Shangguan family...

She wanted to go directly to the nearby counties where the incidents had occurred, to personally check on the injured and take charge.

If a few Turks came, she would kill them herself: She wanted to see how those Turks would come to fight again!

Shangguan Fusheng felt very upset after hearing this, and said to Shangguan Yi: "Although this can help our Shangguan family regain its prestige and better appease the people, you are a girl after all, and as your brother, I have to go. How can I let you go without worrying about it!"

Shangguan Yi said to Shangguan Fusheng, "But brother, if I don't go, what will happen to the injured Shangguan long-term and temporary workers? I have no idea what to do, and I am worried."

"There has to be someone in charge outside, right?"

"We are both in Qingzhou City right now, and there is no one outside. What if the Turks come to harm us again?! You can't leave here, so I'll go."

“And it’s not like I haven’t been there before.”

In the past, it was Shangguan Fusheng or Shangguan Yi who went to various places to inspect shops.

After hearing this, Shangguan Fusheng hesitated.

Now, things are different from the past after all. Isn't the war coming soon? !

What if the Turks hurt his sister or killed her directly? !

Besides, his sister is as beautiful as a flower. What if...he develops some feelings for his sister again?

Shangguan Fusheng took a deep breath. While they were arguing, Bai Lu came hurriedly with Bai Liezhao to save the situation.

Bai Lu simply pushed her second brother out and said to Shangguan Fusheng with a smile: "Why is the Shangguan family head so entangled? Just let my second brother go with you."

"...You must know that my second brother is good at both civil and military affairs. In the past, he could not only help run the shop, but also protect Miss Shangguan if we encounter any danger."

"???"

Eh? Sure.

Hearing this, Shangguan Fusheng nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

But Shangguan Yi was a little hesitant, and whispered to Bai Lu: "Lady Bai...will this affect the reputation of the second son of the Bai family?"

Bai Lu was surprised and said, "How will this affect his reputation? You two are going to do business, not to go out for an outing with a man and a woman in the same room and fall in love with each other!"

Shangguan Yi was speechless.

Bai Lu added, "Besides, even if you're just going out for an outing, what's the problem? You two are both unmarried, and there's no engagement or anything like that, so what's the problem with going out?!"

"Nowadays, the atmosphere in Dawu is gradually becoming more open. Many girls in Kyoto even have dates in public... So what's wrong?"

"..."

Hearing this, Shangguan Yi suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

She lowered her head and said to Bai Lu in a somewhat tangled tone: "...But, I heard before that the second young master seemed to have an engagement with the Xu family, the imperial censor in Kyoto."

Bai Lu immediately laughed and said, "Since you all know that this is hearsay, then there is no such thing. They are just making up rumors! Let me explain it to you."

"You know, my father Bai Yansong has always had a bad relationship with my brothers and sisters. This time he deliberately made trouble... That's why he arranged such a marriage for my second brother. Whether it's my second brother's own marriage, my second brother's reputation, or my second brother's happiness... It's not going to work. We all don't agree!"

"So this marriage is basically non-existent!"

Shangguan Yi's eyes gradually brightened.

Bai Lu smiled and said, "If my second brother doesn't agree, who can force him to do that?"

"Don't believe in other people's rumors! The reason why the girl from the Xu family in Kyoto came here is because in Kyoto... my eldest brother refuted the Xu family's unwillingness to marry, so Miss Wanrong simply ran from Kyoto to find my second brother."

"This kind of thing... must be explained clearly, otherwise, my second brother's reputation will be ruined here!!"

Shangguan Yi was delighted when she heard this, and she immediately smiled shyly and said, "So that's the case... I was thinking that the second young master had got engaged in Kyoto, and I'm really a little embarrassed. I don't know how to get along with him in the future."

"If we are engaged, it will be inconvenient for us to work together in the shop. It is not right to work together all day long."

Bai Liezhao was unhappy and pouted, "You really are just trying to figure out what to do with someone. I explained it to you all day and all night long! I told you 800 times, but you didn't believe a word of it."

"Now my sister only explains a few words to you, and you believe it immediately?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, are you looking down on me? Do you think what I said doesn't count?"

Listening to Bai Liezhao's words, Shangguan Yi glared at him, unwilling to pay attention to him, so he crossed his arms and stood aside without saying anything.

Bai Lu was delighted when she saw it.

It seems that they have had a lot of conflicts in the past two days because of Xu Wanrong.

Bai Liezhao spent a lot of time talking.

But the little girl Shangguan Yi had no sense of security at all. After all, she was a girl... and she would never believe the nonsense of boys.

So now, the role of my assist has been reflected.

She smiled and said to Shangguan Yi, "Miss Shangguan, please don't bother with my second brother. He is usually a simpleton. It is possible that he can't explain himself clearly to you. Next time, if you have anything, just ask me directly and don't keep it in your heart."

"...If you keep it stuck in your heart, you will feel uncomfortable, and you will be the one who is unhappy. Don't you think so?"

Shangguan Yi blushed and nodded hesitantly.

She looked at Shangguan Yi meaningfully, then looked at her second brother who was not very sensible beside her, and said to them, "Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, you two can't be awkward like before, right?"

"???"

"!!!"

"what!"

Shangguan Yi was stunned, and Bai Liezhao next to him was also stunned. The two of them just stared at Bai Lu in a daze, and their faces turned red in an instant.
