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

Cui Zhu felt relieved after hearing what Yang Momo said. "Then you should have a good rest. I will go pack things for Madam and go to Songtao Garden with Madam."

At the small corner door of the second room, Chunliu was holding a silver hairpin in her hand, with a shy look on her face.

"Brother Dazhu, you are so nice."

"It's fine if you like it. When I make more money in the future, I'll make you a better one."

Dazhu smiled innocently. He thought of the letter his mother had sent him and couldn't help asking, "Chunliu, when will you tell your master about our marriage?"

Chunliu's heart tightened, "But your aunt urged you?"

"Well, my mother wrote to me saying that she was going to send a matchmaker to the Cao family in the next village to propose marriage to me so that I could go back and get married."

"Don't go back. Wait a little longer. These days my aunt is experiencing the pain of losing her son, so it's hard to bring up this matter. I'll bring it up again after the New Year, when she's in a better mood."

"Okay, then hurry up."

Dazhu picked up the shoulder pole on the ground and smiled gently, "It's getting late, you should go back quickly, otherwise you will catch a cold."

"Ah."

Chunliu hummed softly, and waited until Dazhu left with the two peddlers' boxes before she closed the door and secretly returned to Weiruixuan.

The clouds are faint and the moon is dim.

Bai Youyou didn't know that Lu was called to serve in Songtao Garden until she went to see Lu the next day.

She hurried to Songtao Garden, and just as she entered the yard, she heard a crisp "bang".

Zhang Momo exclaimed, "Second Madam, this is the old lady's medicine. It took me two hours to make it!"

"It's so hot, and you don't even use a tray. You let me carry it with my bare hands. Are you sincere?"

Lu pinched her earlobes with both hands, burning with anger, and glared at Nanny Zhang unwillingly.

"you!"

Even though Zhang Momo belongs to the old lady, she is still a servant.

Facing her master, the Lu family, she could only grit her teeth, clean up the residue on the ground, take out another dose of medicine and start to slowly boil it.

Bai Youyou stood outside the door and took a look.

She was originally worried that the Lu family would be bullied, but now it seems that her worries were unnecessary.

Thinking about what Lord Xu had said to her yesterday, she turned around and went back to her own courtyard.

"Ring ring ring——"

The tingling sound of the bell rang again, and Xiaoju quickly covered his ears, "I don't know how long this ritual will last."

"Close all the windows."

Bai Youyou rubbed her arms, and also felt that the 'yayaya' sound mixed with the ringing sound was creepy.

She took out a wide piece of drawing paper and spread it on the table. Then, as Lord Xu had instructed, she wrote the names of the three families on the paper.

She thought about it for half the night last night, but still couldn't figure out why Bai Qingyu and his wife wanted to instigate Aunt Qiao to be jealous of her.

The Lu family had no intention of competing for the title of marquis. It could be said that in the entire marquisate, only the Lu family had no ambition.

She is just a girl and can't be a hindrance to the eldest wife. Why do they do that?

After a simple lunch at noon, Bai Youyou continued to draw and write.

Xiaoju was completely confused as she watched her write down names one by one with a brush and then draw random lines on them.

"Miss, what are you doing?"

"I'm thinking about something."

Bai Youyou lay on the table, biting the pen holder out of habit, thinking quickly in her mind.

Xiaoju thought she was doing something important, so she didn't dare to disturb her. She stood up and walked outside. "It's almost time for dinner. I'll make you a bowl of milk tea."

With a creaky sound, the door was closed.

The empty room suddenly became quiet. Bai Youyou's eyes wandered, immersed in his own thoughts.

Everything happens for a reason. The first wife did this for her own benefit.

Before she could come up with an idea, Xiaoju's scream came from outside the house: "What are you doing? This is our young lady's yard!"

"Ring ring ring——"

Hearing the familiar ringing sound, Bai Youyou casually picked up the papers on the table, quickly opened the door and walked out.

"What are you doing?!"

In the yard, Taoist Zhang was wearing a Taoist robe, holding a bell in one hand and a peach wood sword in the other, with a yellow talisman stuck on the tip of the sword, and he was still muttering something.

"The sun rises in the east, I pardon this talisman to sweep away all bad luck——"

The housekeeper came forward and explained to Bai Youyou, "When this Taoist Zhang was performing the ritual, he said that the mansion was surrounded by black air and there were evil spirits causing trouble, so the Marquis asked him to perform the ritual to exorcise the evil spirits."

"Don't worry, Miss Fourth. The other courtyards have already performed the rituals. Now the only courtyard left in the Second House is yours and your wife's."

Bai Youyou looked at Taoist Zhang who was jumping rope and had a bad feeling in her heart.

As expected, when the Taoist's peach wood sword was pointed at her, the yellow talisman on the tip of the sword suddenly burst into sparks and burned up.

"Wow, monster!"

The butler was startled by his sudden action and staggered back a step.

He looked at Bai Youyou with a complicated expression, and said with a horrified look on his face, "Master, this is the fourth young lady in the mansion. Did you make a mistake?"

"No! I'm definitely not mistaken, she's not human!"

Taoist Zhang's eyes widened, and he looked at Bai Youyou with a horrified expression, "Monster, she really is a monster!"

"You are the evildoer, stop slandering my young lady!"

Xiaoju opened his arms to block Bai Youyou, glaring at Taoist Zhang with bared teeth.

"She is really a monster!"

Taoist Zhang met Bai Youyou's dark eyes, as if he saw something terrifying. He was so scared that he dropped the peach wood sword and the bell in his hand and turned around and ran out.

Bai Youyou frowned, feeling a little surprised at the scene before her.

According to the scene in her mind, this Taoist priest should have used some strange method to make his "evil" figure appear in front of people, and then used his magic to subdue this evil spirit.

But why did he abandon his weapon and run away?

Even Taoist Zhang ran away, and the others were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

"Miss Fourth..."

Although the butler was old, he was still able to remain calm and quickly ordered someone to inform Marquis Yongning of the matter.

Not long after, Marquis Yongning and Li came quickly, followed by Bai Yanlang, Aunt Qiao and her son.

Bai Qingyu looked around and asked, "Where is Taoist Priest Zhang?"

"Master Zhang said that the fourth young lady was a demon. She was so scared that she didn't even perform the ritual. She just threw away the peach wood sword and ran away."

In the past, he had seen many people pretending to exorcise evil spirits and defraud money, but this was the first time the housekeeper had seen such a thing in his fifty-year life.

Bai Qingyu quickly shouted: "Go and find him back!"

The housekeeper wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and immediately took people to find Taoist Zhang.

Bai Yanlang looked at Bai Youyou, who remained calm, with a complicated expression. How could such a person who remained calm in the face of danger be his stupid daughter?

"If you are not my daughter, who are you?!"

He had previously doubted how it was possible for a person to change so much in such a short period of time.

It turns out that she is not really his daughter!

Bai Youyou glanced at him speechlessly, "It's such an obvious frame-up, how could you throw your brain away and believe such a ridiculous statement?"

"Second brother, this matter is of great importance. Let's first find out the situation before making a decision."

When Bai Qingyu tilted his head, his eyes swept across Aunt Qiao's face. When he noticed her slightly narrowed eyes, he understood.

As expected, the second room was in chaos.

Not long after, the housekeeper came over with his men, escorting Taoist Zhang.

Bai Qingyu walked up to Taoist Zhang, and asked in a stern voice, "Master Zhang, why do you say that the fourth young lady in my mansion is a monster?"

"My Lord, the fourth young lady in your mansion is truly a monster!"

Taoist Zhang looked at Bai Youyou as if he was looking at a demon or a ghost. "She has two souls in one body. She is not a mortal at all!"

"What do you mean by one body with two souls?"

Not only Bai Qingyu was shocked by Taoist Zhang's words, but Bai Youyou, who had been calm and composed, was also frightened by his words.

Could it be that this Taoist priest who jumps rope is really very skilled?
