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

"Didn't your mother tell you to stay well in Liangzhou?"

Bai Liezhao and Shangguan Yi quickly took the children over and let them have a good rest in the county government office of Liu County. They poured them some water and brought them some food.

Murong Jinshu said anxiously: "Second brother, Miss Shangguan, something big has happened!"

"Liangzhou Zhizhou..."

While she was talking, she saw Bai Yiyue and the others wolfing down their food.

January took a big duck leg and stuffed it into his mouth.

February was more elegant when eating and took a big steamed bun.

March and April looked at each other, each grabbed a roast chicken leg and broke it into two pieces.

May ordered ramen and ate the food with June, July and several other children.

Fish-flavored shredded pork, braised fish, steamed pork with bamboo shoots, crystal fried tripe, shredded pork with chili peppers and lotus leaf rice...all kinds of delicious food were served.

Murong Jinshu and the others explained the whole story clearly.

After hearing this, Bai Liezhao's face changed drastically. He glanced at Shangguan Yi, who was constantly pouring milk tea and handing ice water to the children, and fell into deep thought.

He slowly clenched his hands, and flew into a rage: "Liangzhou Zhizhou is a bastard official!!!"

"We have to talk to the generals in Liang Province about this when we get back."

"These counties in Qingzhou are very close to Liangzhou. Miss Shangguan and I will have to thoroughly investigate and handle this matter... If we don't handle it well, I'm afraid there will be trouble."

But after saying this, Bai Liezhao actually breathed a sigh of relief.

He smiled at the seven little moons and said, "Fortunately, your mother is smart. She stayed in the city... leaving me, Miss Shangguan, and General Chang to continue guarding here as usual!"

"Otherwise, if something happens in Liangzhou, we really won't be able to detect it."

"Once a disaster occurs, it will be too late."

The children blinked their eyes, and July said with a smile, "Mom is so smart!"

"Yes (???????), your mother is very smart."

As Bai Liezhao spoke, he picked up little Qiyue, touched her little head, and looked at her with love.

He hugged the other children again, patted their heads, and said to them seriously, "Next, I will have someone escort your third aunt to help send you to Qingzhou City so that you can reunite with your mother. Are you happy?"

"Happy!"

The children all nodded immediately. They were very happy, with lights in their eyes.

Finally... after working so hard for so long, they can finally see their mother.

Hard work pays off!

Then Bai Liezhao smiled and said, "Don't worry, your mother is very good and she hasn't lost weight yet. You are also well taken care of by your aunt, and you haven't lost weight either."

"You will both be happy to see each other."

Hearing this, the children all laughed.

Bai Liezhao and Shangguan Yi looked at each other, and Shangguan Yi also laughed.

Bai Liezhao smiled, but his heart was very bitter.

I really don’t know why the governor of Liangzhou did this, but it is definitely not safe for the empress dowager to stay there.

I hope it's not what I think...

Perhaps the governor of Liangzhou just wanted to take advantage of the national crisis to make a fortune, and let the emperor refute him.

Bai Liezhao felt very nervous and thought it would be better to tell Bai Lu about this matter.

He simply explained to Murong Jinshu, "Remember to tell Lord Sun about this matter, and also tell our sister Bai Lu! They are close, so it will be easier to talk if there is anything!"

"Do not worry."

Murong Jinshu nodded quickly.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Shangguan Yi immediately packed their bags and sent them to Qingzhou Prefecture.

Although there were some problems along the way and we always encountered some bandits, fortunately, Qingzhou was a very good place and it did not harm the people. It was not the poor people who turned into bandits, but the real bad guys who did all kinds of evil and took the opportunity to plunder money.

They were all pure evil people, so the kids had no reason to hesitate and just went up and hacked them to death.

Soon, they arrived at Qingzhou City smoothly.

When Bai Lu heard the news, she was looking at the city wall.

Smoke rose everywhere, the weeds turned yellow, and the scene was desolate.

There was still a residual smell of gunpowder in the air.

The Qingzhou governor said to Bai Lu, "How strange! The border between Qingzhou and Pingzhou seems peaceful, nothing is happening..."

"If it weren't for the bad news from Pingzhou, I would have thought Pingzhou was safe and sound! I'm afraid I would have had a good dream."

In just a few days, the Qingzhou prefect looked a lot thinner.

Since the battle in Qingzhou, he started to lose weight until he became like this.

By the time the battle broke out in Pingzhou, he had become extremely thin.

There has been war here all the time. As a senior official, he is worried about the people of the world. How can he look good?

Bai Lu also looked much thinner, and the green dress she wore seemed to be hanging on a clothes hanger, ready to float away in the wind at any time.

She sighed deeply and said, "It's okay. Our Duke Anguo and several generals have already gone to provide assistance. There are also some soldiers left in the city. It shouldn't be a problem."

"And according to the date, the reinforcements sent by His Majesty should have arrived in Pingzhou."

"No matter how dire the situation, we can still defend Pingzhou."

Listening to her words, the Qingzhou governor nodded and said with satisfaction: "Let me borrow your auspicious words."

Bai Lu smiled and said to the Qingzhou governor, "You don't have to worry, sir. The plague in our Qingzhou city has completely disappeared yesterday. I have cured all the people infected with the plague, so you can have a good night's sleep."

"If you continue like this, I'll feel bad."

"Damn, you kid."

The Qingzhou governor was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He turned to Bai Lu and said, "Look...you're being polite again. What should I call you?"

"Um...Uncle Sun."

Bai Lu looked embarrassed and said, "Sorry, I forgot."

The Qingzhou prefect shook his head, "No!"

He said softly, "Since we are so close, you should call me godfather!"

"If you don't call me godfather, I won't be happy."

Bai Lu was delighted and said to the Qingzhou governor, "Okay, okay, godfather."

"Ah~"

Hearing this, the Qingzhou governor was delighted and said to Bai Lu smugly, "Then Bai Yansong hasn't bothered you recently... has he?"

"No."

Bai Lu smiled.

How could he possibly bother me? He had already been punished by the prefect in the government office, and the handwritten letter had a private seal on it. From now on, his property would belong to them.

Bai Yansong was so depressed at this time that he probably didn't have time to bother me.

Bai Lu just felt that this kind of life was not bad. As long as the war did not spread to her place, as long as her children could stay well in Liangzhou and have a stable life... she would be very happy.

As I was thinking this, I heard the Qingzhou governor say, "Let's go to the city."

"Now that we've finished patrolling the city walls, let's go inside and see how the people are doing."

"it is good."

Bai Lu smiled and nodded, then followed the Qingzhou governor into the city.

The Qingzhou city was bustling with people and traffic.

The tofu seller called out, "Tofu for sale! Two cents a piece. If you buy five pieces, I'll give you one for free!"

The candy seller also held a large board, hung two cloth strips on his shoulders, and shouted: "Twenty cents a pound!"

Pork is also 20 yuan a pound, including fat and lean meat, and I can even give you a piece of lard to take home!"

"Fresh vegetables, anyone want to take a look? One penny a pound!"

Bai Lu turned her head and saw that the people were all living quite well, so she smiled.

Although there were some delays due to the plague, the vegetables in the vegetable garden were not taken care of and looked a little wilted...they were definitely not fresh, but at one cent per pound they were not expensive.

The two of them were dressed in gorgeous clothes and had extraordinary temperament. Moreover, Bai Lu had saved so many people before, so everyone knew who was who.

Seeing Bai Lu coming, the people gathered around her and smiled at her, "Oh my, isn't this our Marquis of Anguo?"

"Marquis Anguo, you are here!"

"Here, here, this piece of tofu is for you. The tofu I make is really good and tender!"

"Whether you eat it raw, stewed, braised, or made into mapo tofu, it tastes delicious."

"Alas, how can our Marquis of Anguo eat your broken tofu?"

"Come here, take this candy jar. This is homemade candy. There are all kinds of flavors!"

"Osmanthus-flavored sweets, honey-flavored sweets, and jasmine-flavored sweets...try them now, try them now."

"Hey, what money do you want? Take it back now! If you give us money, wouldn't that be an insult to us ordinary people?!"

"You saved us common people. We common people should build a shrine for you! We should worship you... and burn incense to offer you sacrifices day and night!"

"Look at you...you're still giving us money. It's really embarrassing for us!"

Bai Lu was stunned when she heard this, but then she started to laugh and said to the people, "Hey, you are really polite!"

"It's not easy for you to make money, but I am the richest man in Liangzhou after all!"

The people said happily, "Actually, there's more than that!"

"Don't worry, Marquis Anguo, we will definitely support your business in Qingzhou!"

These common people chatted with Bai Lu one after another, surrounded the Qingzhou governor, and supported them as they walked forward.

"Marquis Anguo, we know your shop in Qingzhou, we always go there to show our support!"

"Even though we can't buy much, at most just some cornmeal, grain, and oil, if we all go and buy...that will definitely boost your business!"

After hearing this, Bai Lu thanked them, "Thank you all for your kindness, but... you don't have to do this. Just go buy it from whoever you want!"

“Several other wealthy businessmen, like me, also need to open their doors to do business.

This time, the wealthy merchants of Qingzhou have contributed greatly to treating illnesses, curing plagues, building city walls, and providing equipment, food, and money to the soldiers!"

"These wealthy businessmen in Qingzhou are all very good."

"..."

Hearing this, the people of Qingzhou were extremely happy and nodded quickly.

As he was speaking, he heard someone calling from a distance, "Marquis Anguo, someone is looking for you at the city gate."

"Let's talk about it later!"

The Qingzhou governor was the first to help Bai Lu refuse, "I'm talking to these people right now."

"This official and the Marquis of Anguo are busy!"

Hearing this, the messenger hurriedly said, "He's a very important person... Marquis Anguo will know when he goes there."

So, Bai Lu and the Qingzhou governor reluctantly squeezed out from among the people, waved to them and said with a smile: "Haha... Let's go to the city gate first to take a look..."

They finally squeezed out and reached another street.

Just one more street and you'll reach the city gate.

As a result, before they could get on the carriage, they saw a group of people jumping out from a distance and surrounding their carriage.

All they said were words of thanks... A pile of candies, peaches, plums, apricots, persimmons, vegetables, and fruits were all thrown onto Bai Lu's carriage.

They also gave Bai Lu a lot of snacks, and the vendors even brought a few buckets for her, although no one knew what they were for.

"Oh, isn't this the Qingzhou Governor and our Anguo Marquis?"

"You can accept these things, or not! You really treat us as outsiders."

"That's right, take it!"

Their enthusiasm made Bai Lu and the Qingzhou governor a little confused, so this delayed them for a while.

By the time they reached the third street, they had learned their lesson and simply didn't take the carriage. Instead, they changed into plain casual clothes and disguised themselves.

They mounted their horses and put on their hats, and finally no one saw them.

The crowd of people surrounded the carriage they had been riding in, shouting, "Marquis Anguo! Marquis Anguo!"

"Your Excellency the Governor! Your Excellency the Governor!"

"???"

This scene looked particularly like a famous modern star-chasing scene, which scared Bai Lu to death.

Oh my goodness...no one told me that this would be what happens after curing the plague?

"No wonder the people want to build a shrine for me..."

She and the Qingzhou prefect walked towards the city gate, and she said to him, "Before, I just thought these people were exaggerating, and those rumors outside... were just pretense. I didn't expect that I would actually be so popular with the people..."

The Qingzhou prefect glanced at her, twitched his lips, and said speechlessly: "What else do you think? Do you think you are nothing in the eyes of these people?!"

"This is a plague! Their entire family was nearly wiped out, and Qingzhou City was destroyed, too!"

"You have to know! You are in a very high position now."

Bai Lu was stunned for a moment, then she started laughing.

Before she could open her mouth, she suddenly heard several familiar voices coming from not far away.

"Mother!"

Are those the voices of seven children?!

Bai Lu was struck by lightning. She turned around and saw a dozen children standing at the city gate. They looked embarrassed but in good spirits.

Murong Jinshu also got off the carriage, looked at Bai Lu intently, and smiled faintly.

Murong Jinshu has lost a lot of weight.

Bai Lu's eyes suddenly turned red, and more than a dozen children rushed over and hugged their mother tightly.

Bai Lu's heart, which had been empty these days, was suddenly filled.

They were reunited.
