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

Shangguan Yi found it a bit strange that Gu Liang kept taking a shower as if he was dirty.

Bai Lu understood what Gu Liang meant. She sighed and said to Shangguan Yi outside: "...Alas, these Turks are really crazy. He was in a bad mood and was beaten by the Turks."

Now Shangguan Yi understood.

Shangguan Yi nodded and assured Bai Lu: "Don't worry, Lady Bai, I will never mention the Turks to him."

If Gu Liang was beaten by the Turks, it would be a very shameful thing. He would probably be beaten to his knees and beg for mercy.

Alas, thinking of this, Shangguan Yi knew that Gu Liang had a psychological trauma.

I will never mention this to Gu Liang, so as not to offend him.

After Gu Liang took three or four baths and rubbed his skin all over red, he came out.

The young man's face was also gloomy. He changed into new clothes and looked handsome, but the dazed look in his eyes gave people the feeling that he had experienced a bloody storm after all.

And...I almost experienced a great humiliation.

Fortunately, they didn't take off my clothes completely, otherwise I would have been traumatized for a while.

Seeing Gu Liang unconsciously clenching his fists, Bai Lu stepped forward and said softly to Gu Liang, "Hey, don't think about it, come here quickly... Let's have a meal together."

"After dinner tonight, we will take these prisoners to Qingzhou City tomorrow."

"The prefect is still waiting for you to return to Qingzhou and make great achievements."

The woman had a pretty face, having just finished a bath. As the sun set, her face seemed to be glowing softly.

She then jokingly said, "Although you are not helping me now, it is because... you are a weak scholar."

"In the face of a powerful enemy, it's good enough that you can keep your composure and your integrity as a scholar."

"I have written down everything you said during the confrontation with the Turks. If you are able to gain His Majesty's favor and enter the palace examination, I will naturally tell His Majesty everything I said."

Of course, even if she didn't make it to the palace examination, she would tell His Majesty all these words in detail.

In short, Gu Liang will definitely put himself in front of the emperor.

Hearing this, Gu Liang looked up at Bai Lu, opened his mouth and asked Bai Lu: "You...are you willing to see me now?"

Bai Lu was happy and said to Gu Liang, "Didn't we agree at the beginning? You will come to see me when you become successful."

"At the beginning, it was you who insisted on marrying me and told me that... That's why we became strangers. Otherwise, you and I would have a very good relationship now, even with Zhao Cuicui."

The friendship between the two of them is extremely deep. It has been since the birth of their child, which is already five or six years... It is not easy to dislike each other.

Gu Liang will always be her good friend.

Hearing this, Gu Liang lowered his head. When he looked up again, he said to Bai Lu firmly, "Okay, let's make a deal. I'll come to see you when I become successful."

"...Now I am about to take the imperial examination and meet the emperor. I will definitely succeed! Wait for me!"

Moreover, if he could resist the attacks of the Turks in Qingzhou and offer some good strategies, he would surely impress the emperor in the palace examination.

By then, the relationship between the two of them will not be as stiff as before.

He looked at Bai Lu steadily, but Bai Lu couldn't help laughing.

"Oh, you idiot."

Bai Lu said to Gu Liang, "Let's go and eat."

After this incident, the gap between them was much reduced.

Next, the reason why the two of them were unwilling to reconcile was ultimately just because of the angry words Gu Liang had said before.

However, it is always a good thing that Gu Liang has such an ambition.

In the evening, they all sat at a big table to eat.

Shangguan Yi and Bai Liezhao were not the kind of people who liked to spend lavishly, so the meal consisted of just ordinary meat dishes, a poached chicken and a roast goose. The remaining two dishes were vegetarian, spicy and sour shredded potatoes and pickled cabbage.

They have been busy with Liu County's affairs recently and have no time to think about eating.

Nowadays, only with Bai Lu and Gu Liang around can we eat four dishes.

In fact, it’s not bad for four people to eat four dishes.

Bai Lu picked up a piece of roast goose and put it into her mouth. She asked Bai Liezhao and Shangguan Yi, "How is Liu County doing recently?"

Shangguan Yi replied, "Liu County is doing well. Since we two have been in charge here, the Turks have not dared to come and rob our Shangguan and Bai shops again and again. They are very afraid."

"Haha, those Turks! They are bullies who only care about the strong and the weak."

Bai Liezhao gestured with his arms and kept humming to Bai Lu and Gu Liang: "If we see any Turks, we will fight them one by one."

Gu Liang's expression gradually became a little ugly.

Shangguan Yi, who was standing next to him, seemed to know something, so she immediately kicked Bai Liezhao quietly under her desk.

Bai Liezhao looked at Shangguan Yi with a bit of surprise, and then he heard Shangguan Yi immediately change the subject and said, "...Speaking of which, Mr. Bai, you are quite impressive in Liu County, but I'm afraid you don't know what your fiancée is doing now."

Bai Liezhao turned blue and red, and his face swelled up like a big eggplant.

He turned his head to look at Bai Lu, Shangguan Yi, and Gu Liang and said awkwardly: "...Oh, what's the fiancée or not."

"This... Miss Shangguan! You are just making fun of me."

"hey-hey."

Shangguan Yi smiled and asked Bai Lu, "How is Xu Wanrong now?"

Bai Lu was happy: "Of course I sent him back to Kyoto."

"Ever since I detained Xu Wanrong in Qingzhou, the Xu family has been directly liquidated by the emperor."

"The emperor understands what I mean, and he will not let the Xu family off easily!!"

"After I have completely settled accounts with the Xu family, I will release Xu Wanrong. I guess... we will be exiled to the wilderness together."

"After all, the Xu family has been a family of censors for generations, and their ancestors also had a good reputation."

Bai Lu pondered for a moment and said to them, "I heard that Miss Xu Wanrong is suffering in the southwest... After all, she is the eldest daughter of their Xu family, so the emperor wrote a letter saying that he would simply arrange a marriage for her with the eldest son of a local gentry."
