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

When Xu Mengling passed by Li, she bowed to her and hurried away with Liu Xiang.

Mrs. Lu quickly asked Cuizhu to bring her the snacks she had prepared earlier, and then she sighed, "This child has a hot temper."

Xu Mengling confiscated the bracelet. Li was a little unhappy, but she still forced a smile, "Master Xu is honest and incorruptible, and this Miss Xu is also of high moral character, knowledgeable and well-mannered, she is an excellent person."

Bai Youyou looked at the obviously valuable white jade bracelet in Bai Zhenzhen's hand and deliberately teased, "Aunt is very generous. My mother doesn't even have a bracelet as good as the one in your hand, and you are willing to give it to someone as a gift."

What happened today was too obvious, and Li knew that Lu and Bai Youyou had seen through her intentions.

She pulled the corner of her mouth awkwardly, "I just felt a little more sympathy for the child because he lost his mother when he was young."

Mrs. Lu couldn't hide the truth in her heart. She opened her eyes wide and asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, you are not attracted to Mr. Xu and want him to be your son-in-law, right?"

The Li family has one son and two daughters. Bai Zhengnan has married and has a child. The eldest daughter married into the Shen family in Qingzhou, and now there is only Bai Zhenzhen.

Meeting Lu's bright eyes, Bai Zhenzhen's cheeks suddenly felt like they were burning with charcoal. "Mother, it's getting late, and I'm a little tired."

After saying that, he left with his head down in shame.

Li originally wanted to keep the matter secret, but Lu made it clear, so Li simply stopped hiding it.

She walked to the empty chair next to Lu and sat down. Seeing Bai Youyou sitting with her legs crossed and eating melon seeds, she smiled and said, "Youyou, go out and play for a while. I have something to say to your mother."

"okay."

Bai Youyou put down the melon seeds in her hand and clapped her hands, "Mom, I'm going to go out for a while."

"Come back early in the evening."

Mrs. Lu was like a young wife staying at home, looking at her daughter reluctantly.

"Ah."

Bai Youyou went back to her room and changed into a simple riding outfit. Xiaoju cleverly took the cloak and put it on her.

Bai Youyou took the whip she handed over and patted her head gently, "I'll bring you some candied haws when I come back."

Bai Youyou went to the stable and rode her little white horse. She first went to Wanbaolou and handed the pattern she had drawn all night to the shopkeeper.

When the shopkeeper saw her, two deep crescents appeared on his increasingly plump face, "Miss Bai, last month's dividends -"

Bai Youyou interrupted him and said with a smile: "My mother will collect the dividends from now on, you can just settle with her then."

Mrs. Lu didn't have much dowry to take care of and had nothing to do all day, so it was a good opportunity to find something for her to do to pass the time.

"The shopkeeper's..."

A young man came out from the inner door, holding a blue account book in his hand.

Bai Youyou looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Liang Xiucai. She was a little surprised, "Liang Xiucai?"

Liang Wenchang placed the account book in his hand on the counter and bowed, "Miss Bai."

He stood up, a faint smile on his lips, "Manager Wei took pity on my hard life and let me work as an accountant here."

"The road was slippery that day, and I accidentally fell into the ditch. Liang Xiucai was rewarded for his kindness. If he hadn't saved me that day, I don't know what would have happened."

The shopkeeper patted Liang Wenchang's shoulder gratefully, his eyes full of admiration, "Don't mention it, you scholars are still quick-witted. You only need two days to calculate my seven-day account. With you here, I save a lot of trouble."

Bai Youyou also thought that Liang Xiuping had good character. She smiled and asked, "Are you still studying now?"

That day, Qiao Bing said he would send him a book, which seemed to indicate that he had a great talent for reading.

Liang Xiucai nodded and said, "Manager Wei is kind and allows me to come to work after school every day."

"That's good."

Bai Youyou glanced at the sun outside the house. It was already dusk.

Her eyes fell on Liang Xiucai, whose face had turned a little red. "If you need any help, come to the Marquis' Mansion to find me. My name is Bai Youyou, and I am from the second branch of Yongning Marquis' Mansion, the fourth child."

Liang Xiucai bowed to her and thanked her, "Thank you, Fourth Miss."

The shopkeeper and Mr. Liang walked out the door and watched her leave.

"How do you know Miss Bai?"

Shopkeeper Wei was somewhat curious about how Liang Wenchang and Bai Youyou knew each other.

When I first met Liang Wenchang, he was starving and had a wealthy body. It was really puzzling that these two people could have any connection and seemed to be so familiar with each other.

"The fourth young lady is as kind-hearted as you."

Liang Xiucai smiled, turned around and walked into the store, picked up the account book and handed it to the shopkeeper, "I have settled the accounts for last month, shopkeeper, it's correct."

"Good good."

Liang Xiucai had already done him a favor, and now he was familiar with his God of Wealth, so Manager Wei's attitude became three times more polite.

The shopkeeper waved his hand cheerfully at him, "You will take the exam this year, so go study quickly."

"Thank you."

Liang Xiucai glanced outside the door, bowed to Manager Wei, and then entered the inner courtyard.

On the other side, Bai Youyou was riding a horse slowly on the street.

The sound of horse hooves rang in her ears, and she looked around the street, trying to find someone selling candied haws.

In a blink of an eye, a plump old lady wearing dark blue clothes and with her hair combed meticulously came into view.

"Mrs. Liu?"

She had a white mask on her face, but Bai Youyou recognized her at a glance because of the mole between her eyebrows and her triangular eyes.

On Liu Pozi's left wrist hung a bamboo basket covered with a gray cloth. With her right hand, she was supporting a skinny man who was coughing and covering his mouth.

She looked around with a nervous expression, obviously feeling guilty.

Bai Youyou felt a little strange, so she got off the horse and followed them from a distance.

It was getting dark and the crowds on the street were thinning out.

Seeing that they were standing in a corner, Bai Youyou quickly hid in the dark.

Granny Liu handed the bamboo basket on her wrist to Xiaoye, who was having difficulty walking, and whispered, "Be careful."

"Ah."

Xiao Ye responded weakly and walked forward a few steps carrying the bamboo basket.

Granny Liu couldn't bear it, and with red eyes she called out, "Xiao Ye!"

Xiao Ye stopped and turned to look at Granny Liu, smiling, "Mom, you and Xiao Jie will be fine. My son is gone."

went.

Once you leave, you will never see each other again.

Xiao Ye staggered forward step by step. Mrs. Liu pulled off the white scarf on her face, covered her mouth, and sobbed softly.

Since Mrs. Liu didn't leave, Bai Youyou could only stretch her neck to see where the man in gray was going.

Finally, after a cup of tea, Mrs. Liu wiped her tears, turned around and disappeared into the dark alley.

Bai Youyou quickly walked out from the corner, leading the horse, and chased in the direction the gray-clothed man had left.

Fortunately, the man walked slowly, and Bai Youyou saw him after searching for a while.

"Why are you an official?"
