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

After muttering something, he closed his eyes peacefully and continued to doze off.

The dusk faded and the sun began to set in the west.

Bai Youyou sneaked back home with a bag of silver bills.

When we arrived at Fangfei Garden, Bai Yanlang was also there. He was sitting in a chair drinking tea in a very good mood.

"Youyou is back."

When he saw Bai Youyou, he even called out with a smile.

What good thing happened?

Bai Youyou looked at Lu who was also in a good mood, "Mom, what happened?"

In order to avoid the people from Yong'an Marquis Mansion in the afternoon, she and Lu Huaizhen hid from place to place and finally got rid of those people now.

Now I am exhausted and just want to lie down and rest for a while.

If she wasn't afraid that Mrs. Lu would worry, she would have gone straight back to her room and fallen asleep.

Lu put down the scissors in her hand and said with a smile, "This afternoon, Yong'an Hou returned your brother's IOU, saying that his subordinates acted on their own initiative. He just learned about this matter and even specially prepared gifts to come and apologize in person."

"He said that?"

Bai Youyou was stunned for a moment.

She was still in Lao Zhang's gambling house this afternoon. Could it be that Marquis Yong'an saw that she had signed the IOU and thought he had won, so he returned Bai Luochuan's IOU that was obviously fishy?

Uh......

Then he would probably be mad to death.

Imagining the furious looks of Marquis Yong'an and the Crown Prince, Bai Youyou couldn't help but want to laugh.

This is probably what it means to lose both the wife and the army.

"Well, your uncle told the butler to pass on the message."

Mrs. Lu said stupidly, "I knew it. They are all wealthy families. They know each other all the time. How could they do such a thing? It turns out it's all a misunderstanding."

Misunderstand?

There was no misunderstanding at all. Only someone as simple-minded as Lu would believe what he said.

Bai Youyou now finally understood why Marquis Yong'an had Steward Chen and Bai Muchen sign that contract. It was so that they could get themselves out of this mess cleanly when the truth came to light.

"Where's the IOU?"

Mrs. Lu pointed in Bai Yanlang's direction and said, "Your uncle gave it to your father."

"Why are you asking for the IOU? I have a use for this thing, so don't even think about it."

Bai Yanlang was in a good mood originally, but when asked this by Bai Youyou, he immediately became alert.

"It's just an IOU. Marquis Yong'an has already returned it. Are you keeping it as a souvenir?"

Lu was puzzled and rolled her eyes at him angrily.

"What do you know, a woman?"

Fearing that Bai Youyou would continue to pester him, Bai Yanlang quickly turned away.

Seeing how nervous he was, Mrs. Lu couldn't help but scold him, "What a mistake! You think a scrapped IOU is a treasure."

Anything that can be taken away from Bai Muchen is a treasure to him.

Plans cannot keep up with changes, and Bai Youyou had no choice but to be glad that she had the foresight to drive the people out first.

Without his status as the young master of a marquisate, there were many people who wanted to deal with him.

Bai Youyou took out a large stack of banknotes from his chest and placed them in front of Lu.

"Mother, please keep this money quietly and don't let anyone know."

"so much?"

Mrs. Lu looked at the thick stack of banknotes on the table and her eyes widened in shock.

"Here is a hundred thousand taels, which was originally intended to be used to pay off my second brother's debt. Now that Yong'an Marquis has sent the IOU back, this money can no longer be used."

"My son, where did you get this money?"

No matter how dumb Mrs. Lu was, she knew that one hundred thousand taels of silver was not a small amount of money, and her daughter had no way of coming up with it overnight.

She swallowed and asked carefully, "Isn't this the money you borrowed at high interest?"

"No." Bai Youyou shook her head, "I won this money from Lao Zhang's gambling house."

"what?!"

Lu was so frightened that she screamed on the spot. After she came to her senses, she raised her hand to cover her mouth.

"Mother, this is no secret. It's just that the silver is kept with you. If father and the others ask you for the silver, you must not give it out."

There were few people in her yard, and she was afraid of being robbed like last time, so it was safer to leave it at Lu's place.

"Don't worry, your father won't get a penny from me!"

Lu patted her chest and assured him, then asked in surprise, "You told me before that you were going out to make a fortune, so you mean to go to the gambling house to gamble?"

"My second brother lost money in the gambling house, so naturally he won it back from the gambling house."

Bai Youyou originally wanted to use the 100,000 taels of silver she won to pay off her debts, but she didn't expect that Marquis Yong'an would actually deliver the IOU personally.

Alas, I got such wealth for nothing!

"My son is amazing!"

Mrs. Lu didn't even ask her daughter how she could win so much money. She just gave her a thumbs up.

Night had already fallen and Bai Youyou was very sleepy. After talking to Lu for a few words, she went back to her room to rest.

Bai Yanlang received the IOU and happily went to Aunt Qiao's place.

"I will go to Jingzhao Yin tomorrow. Since the IOU is not counted, the crime of fraud cannot be established."

Aunt Qiao was delighted. She walked behind Bai Yanlang, put her fair fingers on his shoulders and pressed slowly.

"Then let's go pick up Mu Chen together tomorrow."

Bai Yanlang squinted his eyes comfortably, "He can't go back to the Marquis' Mansion, so you should sort out all the things he usually uses and send them to the Qiao family tomorrow, and keep him in the Qiao family from now on."

Aunt Qiao paused, and she asked tentatively, "Since the Second Young Master's matter has been resolved, can we... add Muchen's name to the family tree?"

"We need to think about this matter in the long run. Put your thoughts aside!"

Bai Yanlang opened his eyes, brushed off the hand on his shoulder, and his face suddenly turned cold. "After doing such a thing, the people of the Zhenguo Mansion were kind enough to let him out of the Jingzhao Yin dungeon. Now you still want him to return to the Marquis Mansion. Do you really think that the people of the Zhenguo Mansion are made of clay?"

Even clay figures have temper!

As a woman, she takes things for granted.

Aunt Qiao forced a smile with a sullen look on her face, pressed her soft body against his back, and said in a coquettish and tender voice: "It is I who am greedy, my husband, please do not be angry."

"You will get what's yours in the future, but don't be greedy for what's not yours."

Seeing Aunt Qiao give in, Bai Yanlang's attitude softened, "It was because of the way we broke the rules in the past that you and your son became greedy, and that's why we are in trouble today."

"I know I was wrong."

"From now on, you all behave yourself. When we separate, I will find a way to bring him back."

"Well, it all depends on your husband."

Aunt Qiao's hand slowly moved down from her shoulder, and Bai Yanlang grabbed her rebellious hand and pulled her into his arms.

At that moment in the spring night, when the love was at its peak, Li He's anxious voice was heard in the yard.

"Master, something bad has happened!"

Bai Yanlang had just picked up his gun and was frightened by his shout.

She pushed away Aunt Qiao who was clinging to her like a water snake, quickly put on her clothes, opened the door and went out.

"What happened?"

Li He was a calm person, and he would not rush into the yard rashly unless there was an emergency. Bai Yanlang suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Master, Jingzhao Yin Xu sent someone to tell us that the Third Young Master got into a fight with someone in prison and was beaten to death!"
