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

"Youyou, let's just forget about this matter."

Bai Yanlang tried to smooth things over by saying, "Dad will make up for the loss on your farm. Lord Xu is usually very busy with official duties, so don't go to Jingzhao Prefecture for such a small matter."

Manager Chen looked at her cautiously and said, "I will report this to the Marquis and ask him to punish our prince."

Bai Yaoyao thought of Jiang Hui and frowned slightly.

That guy is just a playboy. He does not do any serious work. He only knows how to rob women, seize people's land, and do other shameful things.

But he is the prince's cousin after all, so Bai Yaoyao also pleaded, "Fourth sister, Dad is an official in the court, and his colleagues have to give him some face. Besides, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has personally pleaded with you, it's just a small matter, don't take it too seriously."

"that is!"

Bai Yaoyao's words made Bai Yanlang feel relieved. He glared at Bai Youyou, "You are the elder sister, but you are not as sensible and polite as your younger sister!"

Bai Youyou sat back in the chair, crossed his legs lazily, and looked at everyone present leisurely.

"Seizing people's land, breaking into people's homes, and killing people are all insignificant matters in your eyes?"

She looked at the prince with sparkling eyes and said with ridicule: "Or is it that the king's law is just the law of the royal family?"

Bai Youyou's words made everyone present's expressions suddenly change.

"shut up!"

Bai Yanlang shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about, you bastard!"

"Did I say something wrong?" Bai Youyou raised his eyebrows. "Those who break the law must be punished by law. You just talked about it and let it go easily. You are simply defying the law!"

"Fourth Miss, you are too kind."

Suddenly, the prince was not as calm as before as he had been when the national law was involved.

It would be fine if this was said in a good way, but if it is said in a bad way, it would be ignoring the imperial authority.

The royal family established laws to check and balance the people of the world. Even though he was the crown prince, he did not dare to openly say that he was above the laws.

Bai Yaoyao glanced at everyone and said with a smile, "Law is nothing more than human feelings. Fourth sister, it's just a small matter. Why make a fuss about it?"

Bai Youyou glanced at her with contempt and retorted, "This is a generous gesture to others, but Fifth Sister is not shy at all."

"Fourth Miss, how can we resolve this matter?"

Manager Chen knelt down in front of Bai Youyou, raised his hand and slapped himself on the face, "It's all because of my blindness and my bad behavior. Our prince gave me 1,000 taels of silver and asked me to buy the farm, but I was greedy and embezzled 400 taels."

He slapped her face, and kowtowed to Bai Youyou again, "This is all my fault, Fourth Miss, please calm down!"

The prince looked at the stack of banknotes on the table not far away, his brows slightly furrowed.

You can buy a farm for one thousand taels, even if the price is a little lower, you can still buy an ordinary farm.

"Fourth Miss, even if the deal fails, we still have righteousness—"

Before he could finish, Bai Youyou interrupted him and said, "Your Highness, even though this deal is not going to work out, there is still righteousness involved, but there is no such thing as forced buying or selling in this world. He wants to buy my farm for 3,000 taels of silver for 1,000 taels of silver. This Prince Jiang really knows how to do business!"

"Maybe Jiang Hui doesn't know the price of the manor."

One thousand taels is about the same for an ordinary small farm, so the prince still spoke up to defend it.

He clasped his hands together and bowed to Bai Youyou, "I am here to apologize to the Fourth Miss on behalf of Jiang Hui. I hope the Fourth Miss will be magnanimous and forgive him this time."

Everyone present looked at the prince in surprise, and Bai Youyou was also a little surprised.

She actually didn't know that the prince could actually lower himself for that dandy cousin.

He is indeed a man who can bend and stretch. No wonder he has been able to sit firmly in the East Palace for so many years despite being in a weak position.

Bai Youyou's expression eased a little, but she still refused to give in. "Your Highness, I haven't seen Zhuangzi yet. Whether I can give you face depends on the situation."

"Okay, I'll go with you to take a look."

Bai Youyou rode a horse, and the prince asked someone to prepare the horse. Bai Yaoyao wanted to follow, but was politely rejected by the prince, "The road is bumpy, and the fifth lady is weak. I'm afraid she can't stand it."

Bai Yanlang held Bai Yaoyao and said, "You are not in good health. Rest at home."

Bai Yaoyao bit her lower lip and looked at the prince with tears in her eyes.

The prince pretended not to see it. He waited for someone to bring the horses, then mounted the horses as fast as a swallow and galloped in the direction of Bai Youyou.

sunset.

In Zaozhuang, Jiang Hui, a few dandy young men and a group of servants were beaten by Lu Chen and lay on the ground, hunched over and wailing in pain.

"Lu Chen, you dare to hit me!"

Half of Jiang Hui's face was red and swollen, and there was an obvious shoe mark on his cheek.

He pointed at Lu Chen with trembling hands, his slanted phoenix eyes filled with resentment.

The other playboys wailed and stared at Lu Chen viciously, but they did not have the courage to shout at Lu Chen like Jiang Hui did.

"I hit you because you deserve it!"

Lu Chen brushed off his sleeves, walked over and helped Steward Sheng up from the ground, "Old man, is it serious?"

"It's just a sprained ankle, nothing else is serious."

Manager Sheng was old, and he was pushed out of the farm this time, and his waist hurt so much that he could hardly stand up straight.

He covered his lower back and limped towards the disheveled Li Lianhua, "Miss Li!"

"Uncle Sheng, I'm fine."

Li Lianhua stood up with her right hand supporting herself on the ground, her left hand hanging limply at her side. She covered her arm, her face turning pale with pain.

The managers of several other farms on the ground also suffered injuries of varying degrees.

"Lu Chen, this is not your farm, why are you meddling in other people's business?"

Jiang Hui supported himself on the ground and climbed up tremblingly. The other playboys stood behind him, glaring at Lu Chen.

"This manor, Prince Jiang has already sent someone to buy it from the owner. It now belongs to Prince Jiang. You are meddling too much!"

"That's right. It was because these people refused to leave that Prince Jiang had them driven out of the manor."

The two young men hiding behind Jiang Hui lowered their heads and shouted in a timid manner.

"You bought this farm?"

Lu Chen wiped the drop of blood on the back of his hand, raised his eyebrows and glanced at Jiang Hui, "When did you buy it?"

"I sent someone to buy it this afternoon. What's the problem?"

Jiang Hui said it with confidence.

Whatever he set his eyes on, none of those people dared to refuse to sell it.

Of course, before he takes a fancy to something, he will also find out the owner of the item. If it is someone he cannot afford to offend, he will not be stupid enough to cause trouble.

He had inquired about this manor before he took a fancy to it. It belonged to the second son of the Bai family in Yongning Marquis Mansion. As he wanted to curry favor with his cousin, the Crown Prince, even if the manor itself did not give money, Bai Yanlang would probably offer it to him like a lapdog.

Besides, he also gave him one thousand taels of silver, which was enough to give him face.
