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

Protected by her two children, Mrs. Lu held her head high and said, "Don't use your status to scold me. When we get divorced, you can do whatever you want. No one will bother you!"

"Wow, Second Aunt wants to divorce Second Uncle?!"

"I thought it was just the servants gossiping, but it turns out to be true."

Bai Qingyu's two illegitimate sons stared and cried out in shock, their voices particularly harsh in the quiet hall.

"It's New Year's Day, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Bai Yanlang was already unhappy about being demoted, and now Lu told the matter in front of everyone. He gritted his teeth and felt a little regretful.

In previous years, he brought Aunt Qiao and others to the East Wing. He habitually forgot about Lu, which gave the troublemaker on the other side the opportunity to catch him.

"Okay, it's ok to quarrel at other times, but it's New Year's Day, why are you quarreling?"

Old Mrs. Qiao, who came in from outside the door supported by a maid, scolded with a cold face and glanced at Bai Yanlang with a heavy look.

This idiot is more likely to cause trouble than to do good!

"Mother."

"grandmother."

Everyone stood up and saluted towards Old Qiao.

"We're a family, so there's no need to be polite."

Old Mrs. Qiao walked to the seat of honor. Bai Qingyu helped her sit down and said with a smile, "Today is the time to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. I asked someone to buy some fireworks. After dinner, let's go to Tingfeng Tower and have some fun."

"Alright."

Old Mrs. Qiao looked at the bustling crowd of descendants from the first house with a smile on her face, but a sense of sadness in her heart.

She abandoned her lover and went to great lengths to marry into a wealthy family, but it seems that she has never lived a very happy life.

At the beginning......

She sighed secretly, lowered her eyes to hide the expression in her eyes, and said lightly: "Let's eat."

Li immediately instructed Nanny Qian.

Soon, the maid came up with various dishes.

Bai Youyou looked at the various chickens, ducks, fish and meats gradually filling up the table, and she couldn't muster up any appetite.

When I was a child, I looked forward to the Chinese New Year. Now that I am older, I feel that the New Year atmosphere is dull.

"Auntie, I want to eat chicken legs."

"Grandma, I want to eat crystal water chestnut cake."

The eldest son's little grandson jumped off his chair, ran to Li Shishang, and pulled her sleeve and acted coquettishly.

Li rubbed his head lovingly, "Okay, okay, grandma will clip it for you."

"Just ask the maid to pick up whatever he wants to eat, mother, don't spoil him."

Bai Zhengnan's wife was Xiao Qiang, the second daughter of the Earl of Jiayuan. One year after marrying into the mansion, she gave birth to Bai Yaoting, the eldest grandson of the first wife.

Xiao Qiang smiled sweetly, "This kid is getting more and more naughty as he grows older."

"Little kid, be more lively."

Mrs. Li doted on her five-year-old grandson, who was chubby and cute.

She put down her chopsticks, poked Bai Yaoting's armpits, picked him up and placed him on her lap.

Old Mrs. Qiao glanced at Mrs. Li, and her eyes moved across everyone's faces, finally landing on Li Lianhua.

"Is Aunt Li's pregnancy already three months old?"

Li Lianhua immediately put down his chopsticks, put his hands on his abdomen, and smiled happily, "To answer the old lady's question, it's just March."

"Take good care of it. I have some bird's nests. I'll have someone send them to your yard later."

After Old Mrs. Qiao spoke, Mrs. Li immediately smiled and said, "This is the first grandchild of the second branch, so he is very precious. I also have some good things in my storehouse, so take them with you when you go back."

After she finished speaking, she looked towards Lu.

Lu just buried his head in his food and ignored him.

She didn't dare give him anything, in case he got sick from eating it, she would be blamed for it.

When Li Lianhua saw that Lu had no intention of speaking, the smile on his face froze.

Mrs. Lu was her mother-in-law, but even after things came to this point, she didn't show any expression.

"Some old lady, ma'am."

He secretly complained about Mrs. Lu's stinginess, but smiled as he thanked Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Li.

Bai Yaoyao's eyes fell on her abdomen, and her hand holding the chopsticks tightened slightly.

These days, a small amount of safflower has been added to the food given to Aunt Li, but I don't know whether it is effective.

"Come and catch me."

"I'm here."

In the huge house, except for the children laughing and playing inside, everyone at the table sat upright, chewing their food in small bites, in silence.

Old Mrs. Qiao put down her chopsticks after eating a few bites, and the others immediately put down their bowls and chopsticks when they saw this.

It was already dark outside, and the newly replaced big red lanterns under the eaves swayed slightly in the wind.

"Let's all go to Tingfeng Tower, and have some tea while staying up all night."

Rich families eat delicacies every day, and the New Year’s Eve dinner is just an ordinary meal for them.

Bai Qingyu rinsed his mouth with the teacup, then stood up and walked to Old Mrs. Qiao.

Bai Youyou secretly took two pieces of fried yellow croaker and stuffed them into Xiaoju's pockets, then stood up with Lu.

Tingfeng Tower is located in the back garden. It is three stories high and is a great place to enjoy the snow in winter and listen to the wind in summer.

Li Lianhua followed Bai Mulin, and Bai Yaoyao walked over and held her.

She leaned close to Li Lianhua's ear and whispered, "Let's follow our mother, lest they use the rules as an excuse again."

Li Lianhua recalled Bai Youyou's sharp words before the meal and felt a lingering fear.

She looked at Bai Mulin and saw him nodding at her, so she immediately nodded, "Okay."

Bai Yaoyao quickened her pace and walked behind Lu. Bai Youyou felt someone behind her and tilted her head to look back.

"Fourth sister."

"Fourth Miss."

Li Lianhua and Bai Yaoyao were both frightened by her cold eyes, and they both shrank their necks at the same time.

Xiaoju looked at them like a mouse seeing a cat, and smiled with his lips pursed.

Bai Youyou also laughed secretly, "You don't have to follow my mother, go and have fun by yourselves."

Lu also glanced back, "Why are you following me? You don't usually follow the rules, who are you doing this for?"

"Mother, we were ignorant before, but we won't do that again in the future."

Bai Yaoyao folded her hands, lowered her head, and looked submissive.

"Second Aunt, you are the mistress of the second house, so they should follow you and serve you with filial piety."

Xiao Qiang, who was walking nearby with Bai Zhengnan's three concubines, smiled and said something when she heard this.

"Who wants them to serve?" Mrs. Lu was annoyed when she saw the behavior of Aunt Qiao Bai Yaoyao, "It's as if I tortured them."

"Mom, don't worry about them. If they want to follow me, just let them go."

The two of them walked separately on the road. Seeing that they had no intention of leaving, Bai Youyou was too lazy to argue with them. She took Lu's arm and slowly walked forward.

Bai Yaoyao cast a grateful look towards Xiao Qiang, and then followed closely behind the Lu mother and son.

She looked around with her eyes rolling, and when she saw the small arch bridge not far ahead, Bai Yaoyao's eyes flashed and an idea instantly came to her mind.

"Auntie Li, since mother doesn't like us to disturb her, let's go find grandma and the others."

During the meal, the old lady showed concern for the baby in her belly, and Li Lianhua also wanted to take this opportunity to show off in front of Old Mrs. Qiao.

She softened her heart and agreed, "I will listen to Fifth Miss."

The two of them spoke in unison, and both Lu and Bai Youyou heard it.

"It's very dim, be careful."

Lu was afraid that Bai Youyou's wound would split, so she helped her onto the small arch bridge.

Bai Yaoyao narrowed her eyes slightly, and took advantage of the moment when Bai Youyou raised her leg to pull Li Lianhua past her.

"Pfft!!!"

"what--"

"what--"

Two screams suddenly rang out.
