His face was as dark as water. He jumped up from his chair, bowed to the old lady, and hurried out the door.

The old lady smiled again. She was quite surprised about the confession. "How did you do this?"

"I didn't get this thing. The Third Prince helped me. Grandmother, there is one more thing I need to tell you."

There was no need to hide this matter, so Bai Youyou told the story of how she had joined forces with the Third Prince through Jiang Tingxiao.

"Yun Ni Fang is too eye-catching now, so seeking cooperation with the Third Prince is a good idea."

The old lady did not blame him. Instead, her eyes were full of praise. "You did a great job."

"I hope you don't blame me for this."

"How can I blame you?"

The old lady looked at the gradually darkening sky outside the door and sighed softly, "The Zhenguo Mansion looks glamorous and powerful, and should have supported and protected you, but instead, it is because of us that you are being held back by others."

"Nonsense."

The old lady's hand was on the table. Bai Youyou raised her hand and covered the back of her hand, smiling and saying, "Look at those young ladies and ladies from wealthy families. Which one of them is not bound by various rules? They study "Female Rules" and "Female Training" all day long, and even their emotions depend on others' moods. If it weren't for the support of the Zhenguo Mansion, how could my mother and I live so freely?"

This statement really suited the old lady's wishes. She couldn't help laughing again, "You, when did your little mouth become so clever?"

"I don't have any other characteristics. I just take after my mother. I like to tell the truth."

Bai Youyou's serious look amused the old lady and Jiang Momo.

The old lady raised her hand and tapped her head, saying with a smile: "If your mother were one third as smart as you, I wouldn't be worried."

"Don't worry, my mother has me in her future. As long as I'm here, no one can bully her."

Bai Youyou patted the back of her hand and stood up immediately, "I can't stay here with you today, I have to go back to protect my mother."

"go Go."

The old lady walked her to the door, and waited until her back disappeared behind the lotus arch. The smile on her lips slowly faded, and her wise eyes became dark and ambiguous.

"Qingya, do you think a person can really change so much overnight?"

Nanny Jiang's full name is Qingya.

She followed the old lady's line of sight and said with a smile, "Didn't the young master say that the young lady was enlightened by the Bodhisattva and her seven orifices were opened. Only blessed people can have such good fortune. The young lady is blessed by heaven."

After a long while, the old lady raised the corner of her lips and said, "It is also because our Zhenguogong Mansion is blessed by heaven."

She collected her thoughts and returned to her room.

She didn't believe it at first, but after asking Lu Qi, she found out that everything was normal and the birthmark on her body didn't seem fake.

Perhaps it was God who had mercy on the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and sent him such a smart and clever girl.

There is a full moon high in the sky, and stars are twinkling in the sky.

When Bai Youyou returned home, Mrs. Lu was stunned for a moment when she saw her.

She reacted and quickly took her hand and walked out of the house, "Why are you back? It's a troubled time now, you should go to your grandparents' house and take shelter."

Bai Youyou broke free from her hand and pulled her into the house.

"Don't worry, mother. Even if something happens now, it won't be blamed on me."

Yang Momo, who always stayed with Lu, was not in the room. Bai Youyou looked around and asked, "Where is Yang Momo?"

"Yang Momo may have had an upset stomach today. She has been vomiting and having diarrhea all afternoon, and she has a high fever. I asked someone to call a doctor, and she is taking medicine and resting now."

Speaking of this matter, Lu couldn't help but look worried.

"Yang Momo has always been in good health, but she fell ill so suddenly. No wonder the old saying that illness can be as severe as a mountain falling on you is really true."

Bai Youyou found it odd that Yang Momo fell ill at this time.

"What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said that Yang Momo had diarrhea because she ate something cold. She just needs to take some medicine and rest for a few days."

Just a few days of rest will be enough, Bai Youyou breathed a sigh of relief.

"Didn't you say you were going to your grandparents' house this morning? Why are you back at this time?"

Lu walked to the window, poured the milk tea that was warming on the stove into a bowl, brought it in front of her, sat down beside her, picked up the scissors and red paper in the dustpan on the table, and skillfully cut and pasted the flowers.

"I went to my grandparents' house."

Bai Youyou took a sip of the milk tea. The warm steam and light sweetness dispelled the coldness in her body.

"I just happened to run into my dad."

"What is he going to do?"

Seeing that the hand that was applying the flowers paused, Lu blurted out.

After a moment, she suddenly realized what was happening and gnashed her teeth, "This black-hearted bastard, he actually went to find your grandmother behind my back!"

"Your grandmother didn't promise him anything, did she?"

Lu was worried.

If it was really because of her son that her mother's family was harmed, she would never be able to atone for her sin even if she died!

"Don't worry, mother. I have found evidence that Bai Muchen framed my brother. My father should be in Wei Rui Xuan to question him. He won't dare to ask my grandmother for help anymore."

"Did you find evidence?"

Lu's eyes lit up, and she immediately put down the scissors in her hand and stood up to rush out, "If you dare to harm my son, I will tear him apart right now!"

Bai Youyou was quick to grab her and said, "If you go to deal with Bai Muchen's matter, Dad will at most give him a few spankings, and then try to smooth things over. It won't solve the problem fundamentally."

The old lady punished Aunt Qiao with twenty strokes of the cane, but within three days she got out of bed and jumped around. It was obvious that she was just pretending.

This matter must be resolved before that Black Mountain Demon comes back, otherwise a big thing will be turned into a small thing.

"What should I do?"

Mrs. Lu blinked and looked at her daughter, waiting for her to make a decision.

"Bai Muchen signed a contract with the manager of Lao Zhang's gambling house. Once I get the contract, we will go to Uncle to seek justice."

"Will your uncle seek justice for us?"

Mrs. Lu frowned, a little worried, "He never cares about our second house's affairs. I'm afraid he enjoys watching us make a fool of ourselves."

"Uncle has wanted to split the family business for a long time, and he won't miss this opportunity."

Bai Youyou was very sure.

Her grandmother was not like her grandmother-in-law. She liked to be in power and wanted to interfere in everything even at her old age. Li and Marquis Yongning had long been fed up with her.

If he could get a chance to separate them, he would be willing to bleed a little.

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

Lu knew that she was not smart enough, so she sat down like a good student.

At Wei Ruixuan, Bai Muchen was forced to kneel on the ground, trembling with fear.

It was obvious that only he and Manager Chen knew about the contract, so why did his father know about it?

Bai Yanlang took the contract that Li He had searched from Bai Muchen. After reading the agreement clearly, he was so angry that veins bulged on his forehead.

"It's really your fault, you beast!"
