After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

Qin Ran adjusted the pearl hairpin on her head and turned into that graceful lady again. When she turned around to salute, she glared at Bai Youyou with some resentment.

"Your Highness, Master Lu."

"Youyou, it's getting late, we should go back."

Lu Chen nodded slightly at her. Seeing that Bai Youyou and Xiaoju's hair was a little loose, he thought that she was bullied by Qin Ran. He glanced at Qin Ran coldly and asked with a frown, "What happened?"

"It's okay, I just walked a little faster."

Bai Youyou straightened up, and Xiaoju hurriedly helped her adjust the crooked white pearl headpiece on her head.

Lu Chen knew that she was not the type to swallow her anger, so he didn't ask any more questions. He clasped his fists with the prince, then walked down the mountain with Bai Youyou and Xiaoju.

When Bai Youyou and Xiaoju walked down the stairs, their legs were shaking.

They are used to a life of luxury and they ran five miles today. They are tough enough to hold on until now.

"Did you have a fight with someone?"

Lu Chen noticed something was wrong with them, walked to Bai Youyou's empty side, and stretched out his arm to serve as an armrest for her.

"There was no fight. I was chased for five miles."

Xiaoju giggled and quickly recounted what happened today in vivid detail.

After hearing this, Lu Chen's mouth twitched a few times, and he looked at Bai Youyou sideways in annoyance, "Look at you. That Qin Taifu family dared to provoke you, if you can't win the argument, just fight back, why are you running away?"

"You do not understand."

Bai Youyou held his arm and walked down the bluestone steps in small steps. "If I fight back, then I will fulfill her wish."

Lu Chen didn't quite understand the twists and turns between women, so he just said, "As long as the Zhenguo Mansion doesn't fall, even if you poke a hole in the sky, we can cover it for you. There's no need to wrong yourself."

"knew."

Bai Youyou felt warm in her heart.

This was the first time in her life that someone told her that she didn't need to put herself in a difficult position.

Her parents divorced when she was six years old, and they quickly started their own families. She was like a ball, being kicked around and no one wanted her.

It was her grandmother in the countryside who couldn't bear to see her like this and took her in to live with her and raised her alone.

She was not as legendary as described in the stories, and did not become a powerful figure when she grew up. Instead, she was just an ordinary worker.

The year before last, her grandmother passed away, and she was once again wandering the world alone like a rootless duckweed. Apart from earning enough to make ends meet, she just stayed at home reading novels.

She likes to read about clean and pure love in books, likes to see the protagonist being blatantly favored by others, and likes to see people living in the dark world being redeemed...

There, there was everything she wanted but couldn't get.

"Why are you still crying?"

Bai Youyou couldn't control her tears and kept dripping. Lu Chen panicked and stopped in a hurry, clumsily wiping her tears with his sleeve.

"Be good, don't cry, don't cry. When we get back, your cousin will buy you jewelry from the Hairpin Flower House and clothes from the Beauty Pavilion, okay?"

Both thirteen years old, Lu Chen is a head taller than Bai Youyou. The little boy coaxes her softly and gently like a little adult.

"Thank you, cousin."

Bai Youyou hugged Lu Chen's waist, put her head on his chest, and listened to his strong heartbeat.

Lu Chen raised his hand and rubbed the top of her head, chuckling, "I'm your brother, I should spoil you."

"Let's go. It gets dark early in winter. We have to hurry back so that our aunt won't worry."

When I returned to the Yongning Marquis Mansion, the sun had set and a layer of warm-toned clouds covered the sky.

Lu Chen watched her enter the mansion before ordering the servant to drive away.

When she left in the morning, Mrs. Lu was still happy, saying that she wanted to have a drink and have fun. When Bai Youyou came back, she pursed her lips and her face turned blue with anger.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Mrs. Lu was furious. She sat on the chair, clutching her handkerchief, and was speechless for a long time.

Yang Mommy rubbed her back to calm her down, and said helplessly, "This afternoon, your aunt sent over some silk cloth. Madam wanted to make you two new clothes, but the young master took the silk cloth to Wei Rui Xuan."

"If I had known this rebellious son would betray me, I should not have given birth to him in the first place!"

Lu was so angry that she slammed the table hard, and her teeth were chattering.

"Mother, it's just a few pieces of silk. There's no need to get angry. If you get sick from anger, Aunt Qiao will be proud."

Bai Youyou poured a cup of tea and brought it to her, "Drink some tea to calm down."

Lu took the tea from her hand and took a big gulp, then her expression eased a little.

"This evil creature should have been drowned in the first place!"

Bai Youyou massaged her shoulders, thinking about how to deal with Bai Luochuan, who was as calm as a chrysanthemum.

To deal with this kind of moral bitch, we can only treat him in his own way!

"Mom, do you want to change your brother's temper?"

Lu was delighted when she heard this and turned to look at her, "Youyou, do you have a solution?"

She really had no way to deal with her son who was always loyal to outsiders. It would be fine if her husband didn't feel pain, but the child who crawled out of her belly actually sided with her enemy, which made her very depressed.

Now that she heard there was a solution, she was so excited that she couldn't control herself, "Tell me quickly, what is the solution?"

"The solution is very simple," Bai Youyou warned, "but you have to remember not to be soft-hearted."

"No mercy, no mercy!"

The grievances that Mrs. Lu had endured over the years were about to burst her heart. If possible, she would have wanted to pack up that rebellious son and give him to that bitch Aunt Qiao.

"It's almost the end of the year, and the second house's share of the profits should be transferred in the next two days. You can keep the things and wait for me to deal with them."

"Okay, okay, mother, I will listen to you."

Mrs. Lu nodded repeatedly, and when she looked at Bai Youyou, tears welled up in her eyes. She felt a sense of pride that her daughter had grown up.

Seeing that she was in a better mood, Yang Momo asked Cuizhu to prepare dinner.

Mrs. Lu was very generous. When Bai Youyou said that she had a way to bring her son back to the right path, she happily ate an extra bowl of rice in the evening.

In the middle of the night, Lu Qi was ordered to go to the ancestral hall again.

Bai Yaoyao was sleeping soundly on the soft yellow futon when she suddenly felt something slippery crawling on her hand.

"what--"

She opened her eyes in a daze and found a black snake spitting out its tongue. A shrill scream instantly pierced the sky.

This time, before he could even wet his pants, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

When the gatekeeper pushed the door, she saw that her eyes were closed. She thought she was having a nightmare and immediately closed the door.

"Bah, you little bastard just knows how to make trouble for others!"

The old woman cursed under her breath, yawned, and went back to her chair to doze off.

Early the next morning, Lu Qi was waiting by the bed, waiting to take credit.

"I was stunned."

"Well done."

The first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar. Bai Youyou's heart beat slower. She gave her another silver bean as a reward and asked her to buy some candy.

Just after I finished washing up and having breakfast with Xiaoju's help, the doorman came to report that the eldest daughter of the Minister of Justice had arrived.
