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

"This one will probably cost 50 or 100 wen."

"It would be great if you could save the money to buy some sweet treats for the children."

Bai Lu smiled and said, "Grandpa Li, please collect it quickly."

"Not only you, but everyone else has it too."

"Look, Madam Luo brought back more than one cotton-padded jacket. She brought back several. My aunt and sister-in-law also brought some."

There are also a few light-colored pieces that look like women's clothes. These should be prepared by Bai Lu for the village chief's wife and her daughter-in-law.

Seeing this, Grandpa Li accepted the cotton coat and immediately went to change into it.

He just felt that he suddenly felt much warmer and full of energy.

It’s great that there are people who prepare New Year gifts for me... I don’t feel like a burden.

Grandpa Li took a deep breath, and his mouth slowly grinned with great joy.

He looked at the innocent look of the Seven Moons, and immediately turned to Bai Lu and said, "Um...Bai Lu, Grandpa Li came here today to tell you something."

"What's going on."

When Bai Lu saw that Grandpa Li looked hesitant, she immediately pulled him into the house.

After she finished talking about Zhang and Bai Ergou, Bai Lu smiled and said, "So...they were the ones who were released."

"It's really strange now. They just released the two of them and they want to cause trouble for me. They are quite brave."

I don’t know who is backing them up, giving them the courage to come and cause trouble for me right away.

After all, he had Bai Qingze's support before.

But in itself, this matter is very suspicious.

If there was no one behind them, why were they released so quickly?

It was said before that they would be imprisoned for at least ten to eight years.

If not ten or eight years, it will take at least three to five years.

How come he was released so soon after being locked up for such a long time?!

If they say they bribed with money, that is impossible. First of all, they have no money.

Secondly, with someone as distinguished as Mr. Bai ordering them to do something, the mayor and the county magistrate would definitely not let them go.

So what happened that made them post it?

In this case, she really has to wait until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year to ask them about it.

Coming to cause trouble for yourself...is not necessarily a bad thing.

What's more, it was a coincidence that the little prince and Bai Qingze were both in their home recently.

Since these two evil spirits are in his own home...whatever happens, they will naturally be backing him up.

Bai Lu was looking forward to their coming.

In this way, even if all the people in the Bai family died, it would have nothing to do with him.

So Bai Lu immediately smiled and said to Grandpa Li, "I understand, Grandpa Li."

"Thank you for coming here to tell me this."

"Looking back, I will definitely be more careful and cautious."

Grandpa Li nodded, finally feeling relieved. He smiled and said, "Okay, okay, but you still have to let someone watch over the seven little moons."

"What if they get hurt, or are taken away by Zhang and that Bai Ergou again?!"

"By then, there won't be any kindhearted gentleman to rescue them!"

Bai Lu nodded and smiled.

This is natural, Grandpa Li doesn't need to worry.

"well."

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, many people will visit each other.

Not only Grandpa Li, but also Bai Qingze, Gu Liang and others came.

They all came bearing gifts.

Bai Qingze naturally brought very precious gifts. He took jade pendants made of unknown material, white and warm, and looked very delicate and cute. There were nine little rabbit jade pendants in total.

They were given to the seven little moons, Leng Bingnian, and the little prince.

Gu Liang gave each of them a book, which was a copy of his own calligraphy, which they could use when they were taught to read.

Bai Lu was very happy to see that the two gifts were very thoughtful, and invited them in to have dinner together.

"Today is the second day of the Chinese New Year, let's steam some dumplings to eat."

"How about some steamed donkey meat dumplings?"

The donkey meat dumplings were very popular. When they heard this, everyone nodded excitedly: "Great!"

"In that case, let's eat donkey meat dumplings!"

Naturally, they all like to eat dumplings stuffed with donkey meat.

Donkey meat dumplings are delicious, and when steamed, they have a special and unique flavor.

It’s not as smelly as mutton dumplings.

In addition, donkey meat is very tender and they all like to eat donkey meat.

When Grandpa Li heard that they were going to eat donkey meat dumplings, he felt a little embarrassed. He only paid seven cents, so could he eat dumplings at his house? !

But Bailu was a very nice person and prepared cotton clothes for herself, so...she didn't need to worry about having this meal of dumplings.

If I continue to feel so restrained in her house, I'm afraid Bai Lu will be unhappy.

So Grandpa Li sat down calmly and waited for the dumplings to be steamed.

After the dumplings came out of the pot, everyone rushed to grab them.

But this time, there were not only donkey meat dumplings. Bai Qingze and his friends brought not only donkey meat, but also mutton and shrimp.

These dumplings are filled with fresh meat.

Bailu made dumplings stuffed with shrimp and corn again.

We also made lamb and green onion dumplings, and everyone enjoyed the meal very much.

I had a full meal again on the second day of the New Year.

Bai Lu said to Bai Qingze: "Mr. Bai, I have something to tell you."

Bai Qingze was stunned when he heard this.

He wiped the corners of his mouth gracefully, and his jade-like face slightly raised, like the warm morning sun.

He smiled and nodded to Bai Lu, saying, "Lady Bai, if you have anything to say, let's go inside and talk."

"it is good."

Bai Lu led Bai Qingze to the deepest room, and then closed the door, isolating herself from everything outside.

The noisy sound suddenly stopped.

Bai Qingze raised his eyebrows slightly: "Lady Bai, this time... you are quite cautious."

Bai Lu nodded with a smile.

"This is a matter concerning me and the seven little moons. It concerns our lives, so of course we have to be cautious."

"?"

"What do you mean?"

Bai Qingze's eyes suddenly froze.

Then, Bai Lu smiled and said, "You must have seen Zhang, who sold my daughter, and Bai Ergou, right?"

Bai Qingze nodded, "Of course I have seen it."

Bai Lu smiled and said, "They are jumping around again."

"Before you ordered the county magistrate and the village chief to lock them up, I thought... they would be locked up for at least three to five years, but I didn't expect them to be released so soon."

"What do you mean he was released so soon?!"

"Could it be possible that he was released in less than a year or two?!"

Bai Qingze's smile froze all of a sudden.

There was a hint of doubt and murderous intent in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, someone disobeyed his order.

Almost in that instant, he realized that... there might be someone behind the scenes who let them out.

Bai Qingze's face suddenly darkened.

There is someone behind this...who else could it be?

I'm afraid he is someone as powerful as him.

Moreover, Zhang and Bai Ergou are obviously different farmers.

As a result, she is still involved with such a powerful person. It can be imagined that such a powerful person is obviously related to Bai Lu's life experience.

I'm afraid what Bai Lu said to me before really came true.

Bai Lu's background is indeed questionable.

And those powerful people behind the scenes probably didn't want Bai Lu to have an easy time, so they deliberately released Zhang and Bai Ergou.

Hearing this, Bai Qingze gave a sarcastic smile.

"...That's just right."

This will allow him to pay more attention to the origin of the jewelry and Bai Lu's true identity.

In this case, he hoped more urgently that Bai Lu's true identity was known to them.

Bai Qingze smiled at Bai Lu and said, "Okay, I get it."

"I'll investigate the person behind this for you later."

"For the time being, I will leave eight guards in your home to protect you secretly."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to you."

"Besides, the young prince is still in your house."

Bai Lu nodded with a smile, "That's right."

It was precisely because the little prince was still in their home that Bai Lu was not afraid at all.

If anything happens, the young prince will be the first to bear the brunt.

Then let alone Bai Qingze, even the emperor would not let those people go.

They are really interesting. They even want to harm the little prince.

Bai Lu smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Bai."

"...But, Mr. Bai, please investigate the person behind this thoroughly."

"I am really curious about what kind of person is willing to go beyond you, Mr. Bai, and target me."

"And the county magistrate and the mayor are all the same..."

"I'm afraid it has something to do with my background. Mr. Bai, please take the jewelry back to Kyoto as soon as possible after you finish your business and have it identified with the noble lady in Kyoto."

"Don't worry, I will definitely do as you wish."

Bai Qingze nodded, and subconsciously felt a little anxious in his heart.

He didn't know what Bai Lu's true identity was, but it was obvious that Bai Lu's true identity was definitely not simple.

If he could find out Bai Lu's true identity during this trip and tell the emperor and the others, then it would not be a wasted trip.

What's more, even if she is not his biological sister, it's okay if she is a noble official's wife in Kyoto, which is also a gain.

Anyway, as long as there can be a few small moons during the White Dew Festival, it would be good to get rid of these miserable days sooner.

This kind of dark life, living under the shadow of others all the time... living under such a husband's family and such a parents' family all the time.

Even an ordinary citizen would not want to live like this.

Bai Qingze smiled.

"Wait for my good news."

"When I come back from Kyoto, I will take you in."

Even though Bai Lu and the others were not the daughters of high-ranking officials, Bai Qingze thought... he had to help Bai Lu and keep her away from this hellhole.

Let her move to the capital as soon as possible.

What's wrong with being in Beijing? I'm rich and powerful in Beijing, and I also have a Seven Fairies Milk Tea Shop in Bailu.

You can open a milk tea shop anywhere, so wouldn’t it be a good idea to open a Seven Fairies Milk Tea shop in Beijing? !

Bai Qingze has already made up his mind to take Bai Lu to Kyoto.

After Bai Lu finished talking to Bai Qingze, she continued to prepare food.

After they all left home in the evening, Grandpa Li stood up a little awkwardly and said to Bai Lu.

"Speaking of which...baby, I'm almost going home."

The seven little moons were not very happy, "Grandpa Li!"

"Grandpa Li, please don't go home. We want to stay with you."

"That's right, Grandpa, when you go home, won't you be alone?"

"We don't want you to go home, so why don't you stay with us? There's no one at home anyway."

"Yes, Grandpa Li, isn't it good for you to stay with us?"

"Grandpa Li, don't go home!"

They all like Grandpa Li very much.

In addition, my mother told them before that Grandpa Li always stayed at home alone and felt a little lonely.

So they tried their best to persuade Grandpa Li to stay at home instead of staying alone.

What's the good of staying at home alone?

Since there is no one at grandpa's house, it would be better to stay at the Bai family with them.

They also welcome Grandpa Li.

"..."

Grandpa Li scratched his head and looked at Bai Lu.

Bai Lu smiled gently at Grandpa Li and said, "Since they like you so much, why don't you stay here and accompany us until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year."

"Yes."

Since they welcomed him and didn't seem to be annoyed with him...Grandpa Li breathed a sigh of relief, so he agreed.

"Well, I'll stay here until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year before leaving."

"...Thank you for letting me stay."

Grandpa was also very emotional.

He didn't expect that someone in this world who had no blood relationship with him would be so kind to him.

It’s so good…this feeling is amazing.

Bai Lu then prepared a bed for Grandpa Li in the second room in the middle.

They didn't have anything to hide, because Bai Lu, Lady Luo, and the seven little moons, Leng Bingnian, the young prince and so many others lived in the inner room.

There is nothing wrong with arranging Grandpa Li to live in the second room.

But Gu Liang thought about it and insisted on bringing Grandpa Li to live with them and leaving his mother here.

"Oh, Bailu, you don't understand!"

"As the saying goes, men and women should not touch each other, it's better to have some distance."

"..."
