After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom
Chapter 210: There is a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister’s door, and no dogs bar
"A man who claimed to be the prince Jiang, brought a group of people to break into the manor and drove out the slaves and the manor's manager."
There was mud on Xiaoqing's skirt and there were scratches on her cheeks. Bai Youyou put down the bowl in her hand and walked forward to lift the scattered hair on her temples.
She asked coldly: "Did they beat you?"
"They are unreasonable and insist on occupying the manor. I fell down while protecting the young lady and Steward Sheng."
Xiao Qing clenched her hands nervously, and looked at Bai Youyou with tears in her eyes, "It was our young lady. She had her arm broken while trying to protect the manor, and now she is still fighting with those people in the manor."
Qi Lian chuckled, "This Jiang Hui actually dared to openly seize the people's land!"
Lu Chen looked stern. He stood up and said, "You guys just stay at home. I'll go take a look."
"I will go with you."
Bai Youyou had just returned to her yard, picked up the horsewhip and walked to the gate, when Li He, who was beside Bai Yanlang, came quickly over.
"Fourth Miss, the master wants you to come over."
"I have something to do today."
Bai Youyou walked past him and went straight outside. Li He followed her and said, "Go ahead. It's Manager Chen from Lao Zhang's gambling house who wants to see you."
Bai Youyou's hurried steps suddenly stopped and turned to look at him, "What does the manager of Lao Zhang's gambling house want from me?"
She thought that Marquis Yong'an had discovered her visit to the gambling house last time, and her heart suddenly rose to her throat.
"It's about Zaozhuang."
Li He thought about it and reminded him, "Manager Chen came here once this morning and brought a few banknotes, saying that he wanted to buy Zaozhuang from the master. I'm afraid this matter will be a bit troublesome, so you should be aware of it."
It wasn't Lu Huaizhen's business, so Bai Youyou quietly put her mind at ease. She sneered, "You want to buy my manor worth thousands of taels of silver with just a few hundred taels of silver? Are you planning to use your status to force the sale?"
"Go tell my dad, I'll be there in a minute."
Li He bowed and went back to report.
Bai Youyou went to Fangfei Garden, where Lu Chen and Qi Lian were already waiting.
"Seventh cousin, you guys go to Zaozhuang first. Steward Chen from Yong'an Marquis is here and wants to buy my manor. I'll go meet him."
"Then let's go first."
Lu Chen nodded, and rode quickly towards Zaozhuang with Qi Lian.
Bai Youyou turned around and went to the small living room of the second bedroom.
Bai Yanlang sat on a chair with a gloomy face. Manager Chen beside him looked at him with an arrogant attitude, "Master Bai, it's really unfair of you to fool me like this. Because of your words, I have been running around all day, and my legs are sore."
There are seven-rank officials in front of the prime minister's door, and there are no dogs barking in front of the houses of noble families.
Bai Yanlang wanted to make friends with the prince, so he became even more polite to Manager Chen. "I only just found out about Zaozhuang now, and I really didn't mean to deceive Manager Chen."
"That's the best." Manager Chen glanced at him indifferently, "This Zhuangzi is lucky. Not everything in my family's eldest son's eyes can please him."
"If I knew that Zhuangzi was in the hands of my rebellious daughter, why would I have asked Manager Chen to come here in vain?"
Bai Yanlang smiled awkwardly, feeling a little annoyed.
The farm was clearly mortgaged to the Biying gambling house, but now it has returned to the hands of that troublemaker. There must be a reason behind it.
Maybe, the incident at the Must-Win Gambling House was caused by that troublemaker who deliberately colluded with others to harm the third brother!
The sun shines in obliquely from outside the door.
As soon as Bai Youyou's shadow entered the door, Bai Yanlang immediately sat up straight and put on a stern face like a father, "Come here, Dad has something to ask you."
Bai Youyou walked to the chair under Bai Yanlang and sat down. She glanced at the arrogant Chen Guanshi's face and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"
"It's about Zaozhuang." Bai Yanlang said coldly, "Give me the deed to Zaozhuang."
"How much money?"
Bai Youyou didn't bother to beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
Manager Chen at the side took out six silver notes with a face value of 100 taels from his sleeve and placed them on the table. When he looked at Bai Youyou, his nose turned up to the sky, "This is the money to buy the manor."
“Is this a deposit?”
There were only a few of them in total, and Bai Youyou raised the corner of his lips in a sneer.
"This is the money for buying the farm."
After Manager Chen finished speaking, his eyes fell on Bai Yanlang's somewhat embarrassed face, "Master Bai, the prince is still waiting for my reply. What do you think about this matter..."
"Your grandmother has already given you six thousand taels of silver for Zaozhuang. Hurry and give me the deed!"
Bai Yanlang stared at Bai Youyou with a cold face and stretched out his hand towards her.
"laugh!"
Bai Youyou sneered, "It's true that my grandmother gave me six thousand taels of silver, but I used the silver to redeem this farm. What's the connection between these two things?"
"We can talk about other things later. First, give me the deed to the manor. I will give you the money later."
In front of outsiders, Bai Yanlang tried his best to suppress his anger and spoke to her in a gentle tone.
Manager Chen saw that he was still so cautious when talking to his daughter, and couldn't help but sneer, "At home, it's the way for children to obey their fathers. Lord Bai is showing that his father's authority is not strong enough."
"My father needs an obedient son. If Manager Chen is willing, I can ask my father to accept you as his son."
Bai Yanlang was just about to get angry to show his authority, but Bai Youyou's words almost made him laugh out loud.
Li He, who was standing by, noticed Manager Chen's gaze and quickly lowered his head, pretending not to hear anything, except that his shoulders trembled slightly from time to time.
"How can you talk like that, girl?"
Bai Yanlang glanced at the gloomy Chen Guanshi, and had to pretend to be angry and scold Bai Youyou, "Hurry and give me the deed to the manor."
"Dad, they want to buy my 6,000 tael farm for 600 taels of silver. Are they taking me for a fool, or are they treating me like a fool?"
Bai Youyou glanced at Manager Chen with sarcasm, "Since it is your prince who wants to buy my farm, then let your prince come in person. Why did you send a dog to take advantage of others? Do you really think that you are the boss and your prince is the third one?"
"you!"
Manager Chen slammed the table and pointed his finger at Bai Youyou, his face flushed with anger.
This person is not someone like Bai Yanlang. He has the support of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion behind him, so he doesn't dare to be too presumptuous.
But right now, I don’t know if anything has happened with the prince. If he is really just going fishing, it would be fine, but——
Manager Chen felt that given the prince's temperament, it would not be so easy to let things go.
He gritted his teeth, took out four silver notes with a face value of 100 taels from his sleeve and placed them on the table, with a flattering smile on his face: "Miss Bai, this farm is really useful to our prince. You take the silver first, and we can discuss the rest."
Bai Youyou looked at the four extra banknotes on the table and smiled meaningfully, "Butler Chen just casually took out four hundred taels. The Yong'an Marquis's Mansion is really rich. Even a small butler is so wealthy."
When Manager Chen heard her insinuating words, his expression suddenly changed.
