"Madam, it's all my fault. If you are angry, just punish me. Please don't get angry with the master."

Aunt Qiao's face turned pale, and she cried into her handkerchief, feeling extremely hateful.

In all these years, Lu had never used the name of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to show off, but today she suddenly came to her senses and knew to use her natal family to threaten others.

After her action, everyone in Yongning Marquis' Mansion had to be cautious.

Aunt Qiao knew that she might lose both her wife and her army today.

She kowtowed, "Madam, this is all my fault. I apologize to you."

Bai Yanlang was in no mood to pay attention to her at the moment. He just glared at Lu anxiously, "It's just some verbal disputes. Don't be so willful."

"Lu, what are you doing?"

The old lady glanced at Aunt Qiao, then looked at Mrs. Lu, her tone becoming a little heavier.

Bai Yanlang was her eldest son. She had placed high hopes on him and thought that marrying a girl from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion would definitely help him in his future career.

Who would have thought that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was not willing to help at all, resulting in his son now being only a fifth-rank Shaoqing of the Guanglu Temple.

It would be better not to marry Lu. Marrying a girl from another family might be more beneficial to her two sons.

She didn't like Lu, but she didn't dare to offend the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion too much, otherwise she would have asked her son to divorce her and marry another virtuous wife.

"Mother, I have no choice but to do this."

Mrs. Lu's eyes were red. "Today I just asked two maids from Qiao's courtyard to come over and ask a few questions, but he came and accused me of bullying Qiao without knowing right from wrong!"

"I have been married to the Bai family for so many years, I have given birth to children, and I have been frugal and managed the household. Even if I have no merit, I have worked hard. For the sake of a concubine, he did not give me, the main wife, any face in front of so many people. How can I gain a foothold in this mansion in the future?"

Mrs. Lu was really sad and kept talking about all the injustices she had suffered in the past.

"I have never seen a concubine who does not serve her mistress. Instead, she summons two maids to question them, which is a torture."

The old lady glared at Bai Yanlang fiercely, and her eyes glanced at Aunt Qiao who was kneeling on the ground.

She doesn't want to be a good wife, but instead lowers herself to be her son's mistress.

If this bitch Aunt Qiao wasn't her niece from her mother's side, she would have sold her out long ago!

"You are the principal wife, so the concubines and maids in the backyard are under your charge." She said in a cold tone, "If anyone in this mansion dares to gossip about you, I will beat them with a stick and sell them off!"

"Mother, you are usually too kind and generous, which is why these servants don't know the rules. You must set up some rules in the future and clean up the backyard, so that outsiders won't know about it and say that you are not a good steward."

Bai Youyou deliberately emphasized the word "slave" and glanced at Aunt Qiao's stunned face, with a hint of sneer at the corner of her mouth.

From the moment Bitao mentioned the deerskin boots, it was inferred that Aunt Qiao did it on purpose.

She wanted to use Bai Luochuan to bring the matter to the old lady, and then gain Bai Yaoyao's favor in front of the old lady.

The old lady is her aunt, so with this as an excuse, she will naturally give Bai Yaoyao a lighter punishment.

Unfortunately, she was wrong in her prediction and was destined to end up losing more than she gained.

When the old lady heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her cloudy eyes.

She never expected that such flawless words would come out from the mouth of her granddaughter who was as stupid as Lu.

As the legal wife, it was Lu's responsibility to manage concubines and servants and educate children. Even as a grandmother, she was not allowed to interfere too much.

She said this not only to her son and Aunt Qiao, but also to herself.

Forget it. Now she has completely given up on this confused eldest son. If he gets a title in the future, she will also have her younger son.

"You're making such a fuss over a trivial matter. You're the wife, so you should act like one."

She ignored Aunt Qiao's pitiful look for help and turned to walk out, "Okay, I'm tired."

"Grandma, let Shan'er help you."

The woman in goose yellow clothes had an innocent smile and held the old lady's arm, following her closely.

Shan'er?

Bai Youyou did not miss the glance she cast at him when she turned around, and he instantly knew who she was.

Isn’t this Yao Shaner, the original owner’s cousin from her aunt’s family?

She is the one who has been blessed by the author with both good looks and good brains. To be honest, if Bai Yaoyao didn't have the halo of the heroine, she would definitely not be able to defeat this vicious female supporting role.

This person is the best at killing people with someone else's knife without getting his own hands stained with blood.

As for this knife, as far as one can remember, the original owner had used it the most.

Bai Youyou sighed inwardly and turned to look at Lu, "Mom, I'm not a child anymore. Why don't you take me with you and let me learn how to manage the household from you?"

With the old lady's permission, Lu was in a very good mood. She held her head high, swept away her previous depression, and smiled, "Since you want to learn how to be a housekeeper, that's great. How can mother not agree to your request?"

She thought of her hand again, feeling extremely distressed, and quickly asked Cuizhu, "Has the doctor from Jishidiang arrived?"

"I will go to the gatehouse to check."

Cuizhu trotted away.

Aunt Qiao was still kneeling on the ground, her face pale.

The old lady's words just now clearly showed that she was not going to protect her anymore. She looked at Bai Yanlang pitifully with tears in her almond-shaped eyes.

"master......"

Bai Yanlang clenched his hands and wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and couldn't squeeze out a word.

Bai Youyou suppressed the smile on his lips, "Dad, as an official appointed by the court, you should fulfill your duties and share the worries of His Majesty. My mother will handle these matters in the harem, so you can go and do your own thing."

Bai Yanlang had been wrong in the first place, and now he had no reason to say anything on behalf of Aunt Qiao. He just said dryly, "It's getting late, and I still have official business to attend to. Aunt Qiao, you should go back too."

Bai Youyou and Lu both rolled their eyes.

This is true love. Even at this point, he is still worried that Aunt Qiao will be tortured.

There is a long way to go. If you leave today, will you still be able to leave tomorrow?

As long as I stay in this courtyard, as long as Lu is still my legal wife.

Aunt Qiao knew that things were different now, and she was not stupid enough to stay here and let Mrs. Lu set rules for her, so she immediately stood up tremblingly.

"Madam, I will go back first."

She came with confidence but left in dejection. Lu stared at her miserable appearance with the corners of her mouth almost stretched to her ears.

"Mom, I still have homework to finish, so I'll go back first."

Seeing that everyone had left and Mrs. Lu had no intention of paying attention to him, Bai Luochuan said goodbye, deliberately covered his shoulders, and walked slowly forward with his head hung.

Lu ignored her, and Bai Youyou would not pay attention to him either.

If she had originally thought of changing Bai Luochuan's temper, today's incident made her completely give up the idea.

If you want to tear off the calm and indifferent skin on this kind of person, you have to directly touch his interests.
