After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom
Chapter 22 Borrowing People
Bai Yanlang's eyes flickered as he was scolded, and he stammered, "I just mentioned it casually. Look at you, your temper is always like this."
Lu snorted coldly, "Didn't you swear yesterday that you asked for this post for the second brother? How come you forgot it as soon as you got it?"
Mrs. Lu looked at him with disdain and said sarcastically, "Fortunately, my son is smart and didn't fall for your black-hearted trick. Otherwise, I'm afraid that once I got the post, you would immediately turn your face and deny it!"
"mother."
Bai Luochuan looked at Lu anxiously, wanting Lu to help him.
Unfortunately, Lu was also deeply hurt by him. She glared at him unhappily, "When I was fighting for your interests in the past, didn't you always say that we are all family and should be tolerant, respectful and forgiving? Anyway, you and Qiao's mother and son are brothers and sisters, and you are of the same blood. Why don't you be more generous this time as you have been in the past and stop being petty."
"mother!"
Bai Luochuan stood up from his chair somewhat awkwardly and looked at her in disbelief.
She had fought for him for those small benefits in the past, but this time it was Mr. Mo's lecture, which concerned his future, so why wouldn't she fight for it? !
"What's the ghost's name?"
When Mrs. Lu thought about how she had planned and fought for his interests in the past, but he had always acted so tolerant and generous, she got angry. "If you want something, go fight for it yourself. You're almost seventeen, stop calling me your mother!"
"younger sister."
Bai Luochuan's eyes wandered over the faces of several people, and finally he looked at Bai Youyou with difficulty.
"Second brother, I came here to give you this post. Dad also said last night that he asked for it for you, so I gave it to him."
Bai Youyou glanced at Bai Yanlang who was pretending to be invisible, sighed, and looked helpless.
Who doesn’t want to be a good person and win favor?
She can do it.
"Dad, this post is for me."
Bai Luochuan's tone became unusually tough, and a small crack was torn in the man's image as calm as a chrysanthemum.
"There is a respect for elders. Your eldest brother is at a critical period right now. How come you are so ignorant? Your father taught you to give up your brother and to be more affectionate. Have you forgotten all of that?"
Seeing that Lu didn't make a fuss, Bai Yanlang immediately felt more confident.
What he feared most was Lu's making a scene. This daughter of a general had a loud voice and was stubborn, and she would totally disregard her dignity when she made a scene.
He was really scared these years.
"Your teachings to me are engraved in my heart and I will never forget them for a moment."
Bai Luochuan's eyes were red, and he insisted not to give up. "In the past, I could have given those things to my elder brother, but this is what my younger sister asked for. I can't let my younger sister down."
He looked at Bai Youyou, who nodded seriously, "Second brother and I are from the same mother, so of course I will give it to him."
"Isn't your eldest brother also your blood relative?" Bai Yanlang glared at her.
"That's different. There's a difference between close and distant relatives. After all, we are separated by belly."
Bai Youyou was not afraid of him and snorted disdainfully.
"okay!"
After arguing for the whole morning, he couldn't help getting angry and slammed the table. With a bang, the tea on the table rippled.
"I have my own opinion on this matter. If anyone makes trouble again, I will not let him off easily!"
After saying that, he angrily opened the curtain and strode out.
Bai Luochuan stared straight at the swinging door curtain, his eyes bloodshot, motionless.
The maid was so scared when she saw that he looked like he was going to eat someone that she quickly lowered her head.
Bai Youyou took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, "Second brother, Mr. Mo only gives a lecture every ten years. If you don't seize the opportunity this time, you will be almost thirty years old in ten years."
What can he do at the age of thirty? He can't just keep struggling between the spring and autumn examinations. Even if he passes, what future can he have?
The room was silent, and Bai Luochuan's teeth were creaking.
After a long while, he turned around stiffly and forced a smile that was uglier than crying, "Mom, my son is back."
"Ah."
Lu didn't look at him, but just responded calmly.
Bai Luochuan left in a daze. Lu's eyes moved slightly, and a layer of water color appeared in his black eyes.
Bai Youyou didn't notice and mentioned what happened today, "Mom, today I should go to my aunt to ask for advice from Nanny."
When mentioning Aunt Qiao and her son, Lu threw away her sadness, tugged at the handkerchief in her hands, and said viciously, "Humph, little bitch, you finally fell into my hands!"
Following her daughter's instructions, she said to Yang Momo, "Yang Momo, go find the Madam in person and tell her that we are short-handed in the courtyard. Ask Madam Qian to come and teach the concubine the rules, so that she won't be ignorant of etiquette when she leaves the mansion and offend the noble lady."
"Yes."
Yang Momo went to the main courtyard of Yongning Marquis’ Mansion in person.
The first wife, Madam Li, was teaching Bai Zhenzhen how to read and do accounts when she heard the servant report that Yang Momo from the second house had arrived. The two looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
Li walked to the living room and the maid brought Yang Momo in.
Yang Momo bowed respectfully first, then repeated what Lu said, and said with a smile: "Our lady didn't want to trouble you, Madam, but the staff in the courtyard is really insufficient, so we can only come to you for help."
"It's rare for my second brother's wife to come to me for something, so why not ask for anything?"
Li smiled gently and turned to look at her wet nurse. "Let Madam Qian go to the Second Madam and follow her instructions on everything."
After Yang Momo and Nanny Qian left, Bai Zhenzhen walked out from the inner room.
"Second Aunt is here to take Madam Qian away?"
"Your second aunt is not stupid this time. She knows to use me to punish that concubine's daughter."
Bai Zhenzhen walked to Li's side and massaged her shoulders.
These days, I have been doing daily accounting and managing the affairs of the mansion, and it seems like there is never an end to the work.
"Second Aunt is very straightforward, but she can't think of such a clever idea. It must be the idea of my fourth cousin who suddenly got a bright idea."
Bai Zhenzhen is now worried about Bai Yaoyao.
Nanny Qian had many shady tricks. When her mother wanted to punish the restless concubines or illegitimate sons and daughters in the backyard, she would ask Nanny Qian to do it.
This matter was done in secret and Bai Youyou didn't know about it.
Li smiled, "It's good that you're not stupid anymore, otherwise you'll always be taken advantage of and get into trouble."
Suddenly, her expression changed. "Didn't you say last time that Bai Yaoyao deliberately pretended to be weak and pitiful in front of Prince Duan? It's just right. This time, I will use your second aunt to teach her a lesson. Otherwise, she will be like her shameless aunt, and she will be fickle and cause trouble in the future."
"Mother has foresight."
Bai Zhenzhen laughed and flattered him.
"You are naughty."
Li nodded her head with a doting look.
Outside the house, snowflakes were falling, piling up on the plum blossoms that were blooming in the cold. The plum branches were heavy, and when the wind blew, they shook off the ice and snow, but still stood proudly.
Qian Momo followed Yang Momo to Fangfei Garden.
She was Li's person, so Lu politely invited her to sit down and ordered the maid to serve tea.
"My concubine's daughter doesn't know the rules, so I specially asked Qian Momo to come and help teach her today. You just need to discipline her strictly, and don't treat her any better because she is a lady."
