"Nothing serious happened," Bai Youyou shrugged. "We just invited the elders to open the ancestral hall and erased Bai Muchen's name from the family tree."

Isn't this a big deal?

Lord Xu tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth that were about to get out of control, "Your family is usually quite busy, right?"

Bai Youyou didn't understand what he said at first, and was a little stunned. After she reacted, she smiled and said to herself, "Well, they are all very busy."

Thinking every day about how to harm others and how to gain benefits for yourself, isn't that busy?

Upon hearing this, Lord Xu couldn't help but raise his tense mouth, "I think you are the busiest."

"I don't want to be busy, but they always find something for me to do."

Bai Youyou was really helpless.

She really didn't want to be busy at all. She just wanted to lie down and wait for death like a salted fish. When she got tired of lying down, she could just turn over.

But those people insisted on jumping over her head again and again, asking for their own death, so it was not her fault.

"Okay, I've accepted the case, you can go back now."

Lord Xu had been the Jingzhao Yin for three years, so he had some understanding of the affairs of the Yongning Marquisate.

When a tree grows big, it has branches; when a son grows up, it is time to separate.

I don’t know why the old lady in the Marquis’ Mansion is unwilling to divide it and insists that the three families squeeze together.

When there are too many people, there will be too much trouble. It makes the family restless and no one knows what they are trying to do.

Bai Youyou was also about to leave. Thinking of the matter about Liang Xiucai's father, she considered it for a moment and asked, "Uncle Xu, about Liang Xiucai's father..."

"You are a little girl, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."

Lord Xu scolded her with a stern face.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Xu, it's all my fault for having such a talkative mouth."

Seeing that he was angry, Bai Youyou raised her hand and patted her mouth lightly, then laughed and said, "Don't be angry, I'll leave now."

She took three steps, and Lord Xu's voice came from behind: "Liang Jinyu fell into the pond while drunk and died. Liang Xiucai took the body back this morning."

Bai Youyou paused, she turned around and looked at the person behind her, and waved at him with a bright smile on her face, "Uncle Xu, may good people live a long and peaceful life."

"This girl has become a spirit."

Lord Xu stared at her back, which was obviously happier, and couldn't help but scold her with a smile.

At this time, Captain Liu walked in quickly, clasped his hands together and said, "Sir, the group of fraudsters have been caught. Do you want to interrogate them now?"

Lord Xu hesitated for a moment and said, "Imprison him first and we will try him another day."

The year was coming to an end, and thefts were rampant in the capital. He was so busy every day that he didn't even have time to drink a sip of water.

"Also, send someone to take the manager of Lao Zhang's gambling house and Bai Muchen from Yongning Marquis's Mansion back to the government office."

"Yes."

Captain Liu was a little confused, but he suppressed his curiosity and quickly led his men out.

Aunt Qiao packed up Bai Muchen's belongings. Bai Yanlang ordered someone to harness the carriage. Just as they were about to let Bai Muchen get on, Captain Liu arrived with his men.

"Master Bai."

"Captain Liu!"

When Bai Yanlang saw Captain Liu, his heart sank.

Sure enough, before he could even open his mouth, Captain Liu took out a warrant and said, "Master Bai, your son is suspected of fraud. Please come with us."

"Captain Liu, there are many misunderstandings in this matter..."

"Master Bai, you are an official appointed by the imperial court, so you should know the laws of the Great Zhou."

Captain Liu showed no mercy and waved the arrest warrant in his hand, "Without solid evidence, our lords will not order an arrest."

He took the arrest warrant and waved his hand, "Take him away!"

"father!!"

Bai Muchen was frightened when he saw the arrest warrant in Captain Liu's hand. He only came back to his senses when he realized that the police were coming forward to hold him.

He kicked his legs hard, his eyes wide open with fear and despair, "Dad, save me! Save me!!"

With a warrant for his arrest, Bai Yanlang could only watch him being taken away by the officers.

At this moment, his heart felt very cold.

The contract has already been in the hands of the people in the Zhenguo Mansion. Now they have gone to Jingzhao Yin to report the case and handed over the evidence.

Now, the only one who can save people is that troublemaker.

Bai Yanlang rubbed his head with a headache.

He now deeply regretted listening to his mother and going to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. If he had not gone, they might have given him some leniency because of the relationship between the two families.

now--

He could only ask for help from Lu and that troublemaker.

When Mrs. Lu saw him, she was about to close the door, but Bai Yanlang squeezed in with a grin on his face.

"Madam, I am here to apologize to you."

"Don't give me that!" Mrs. Lu glared at him angrily. "The weasel is paying New Year's greetings to the chicken. He has no good intentions!"

Bai Yanlang picked up the felt hat that had been knocked off the floor by the door and said shamelessly, "Look at what you said. Husband and wife are one body. I admit my fault to you. How can I have any bad intentions?"

"You have a black heart, how can you be kind?"

Everyone came in, and Mrs. Lu didn't even bother to close the door, and opened both doors directly, "Go to your Aunt Qiao, and don't come here to bother me!"

If it weren't for the two children, she would have divorced and returned home long ago, and would not have looked at his shameless face when he was old and ugly.

"I was foolish and hurt you before. I really know I was wrong. Can you forgive me for once?"

Bai Yanlang held her hand and spoke sincerely.

Looking at his hypocritical appearance, Lu was not moved at all. Instead, she got goose bumps all over her body.

She shook his hand off heavily and wiped the place where he had just held her with a handkerchief over and over again.

"If you have something to say, just say it. Stop being so disgusting!"

"It's not a big deal, I just want to ask where our daughter is."

Bai Yanlang first went to Bai Youyou's yard, but the maid said that she was not in the room, so he had to come to find this powder keg that could explode at any time.

"Are you trying to cause trouble for my daughter again?!"

Mrs. Lu was like a mother hen protecting her calves, and she looked at him vigilantly, "I'm telling you, your third son's problem is his own fault, so don't come and vent your anger on Youyou!"

Bai Yanlang suppressed his temper and said in a gentle voice: "I am her father, I just have something to ask her."

"She's just a little girl, what do you want with her?"

Mrs. Lu didn't believe his lies, "You must be trying to ask for mercy from that little bastard she gave birth to for you, right?"

"Humph!" Lu said viciously, "I'm telling you, don't even think about it!"

"Alright, alright, forget it now that the person is not here with you."

Bai Yanlang glanced around the room but didn't see anyone. Not wanting to listen to her nonsense anymore, he turned around and left.

Mrs. Lu was so angry that she slammed the door shut and cursed: "Humph, my daughter has made a fortune, I won't tell you!"
