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

Chapter 220 What are you looking at? Have you ever seen a couple quarreling?

"You are angry now and you are out of your mind. I will come back to apologize to you in two days."

How could Bai Yanlang possibly write a letter of divorce?

Bai Youyou and Bai Luochuan are his only amulets that can catch the prince's eye. He is so stupid that he would ruin his own future by doing this.

He was afraid that Lu would not let him go, so he left Fangfei Garden in a hurry after saying this.

There was a lot of noise here, and many servants and maids gathered at the corner of Fangfei Garden to listen to the noise. When they saw him come out, they quickly lowered their heads and fled in all directions like beasts.

"What are you looking at? Have you ever seen a couple quarreling?"

Bai Yanlang was furious at being laughed at by the servants. He cursed as he walked, "You guys are neglecting your duties. Your master will deduct your salary later!"

After he left, the maids and servants who had just escaped gathered in twos and threes, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"The Second Master is not doing well as a husband, and he is being punished by the Second Madam again."

"Pfft, look at that face, it's been scratched into carrot shreds!"

"That's because she has the support of her natal family. Look at the masters of this Marquis' Mansion. None of them has the confidence of the Second Madam."

"This Second Master deserves it. He never gets beaten unfairly. I don't know why he got beaten by the Second Madam this time."

A pointed-faced servant looked around, then lowered his voice and said slyly, "I went there early and heard something."

"What did you hear? Tell me now!"

Everyone looked curious and couldn't help but lean over to see what was happening.

"I heard Lord Xu mentioned in it, and the Second Master said something about being shameless, and the Second Madam screamed that she wanted to tear the Second Master's mouth apart."

"Did you hear that correctly?"

Many maids covered their mouths in shock, with a look of disbelief on their faces.

An older woman quietly grabbed the boy's arm and said in a deep voice, "Don't spread this around, or you'll get your tongue kicked out! Let's all go, or we'll offend our masters."

There is no wall that is impenetrable, and the quarrel between Lu and Bai Yanlang soon reached the ears of the masters of each room.

Early in the morning, Bai Zhenzhen came to greet her, holding the materials she had prepared to make a kite.

"Mother, do you know what the servants are talking about in private?"

Li was sewing a piece of dark blue cloth in her hand. She chuckled when she heard the words, "It's just the servants gossiping about nothing. Don't worry about it."

"But what they said was very convincing, and my daughter doesn't look fake."

"I already knew that Bai Luochuan went to deliver food to Lord Xu. I just wanted to take this opportunity to get some advice from Lord Xu."

Li put down the needle and thread in her hands and rubbed her sore wrist.

Originally, when Bai Luochuan went out with the food box, she thought it was sent to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion. Later, this happened every day, so she sent someone to follow and investigate.

At first, she also suspected that there was something going on between Lu and Xu Lingyun. Later, after asking people from Jingzhao Prefecture, she found out that Bai Luochuan was studying with Xu Lingyun.

Thinking of the rich life of Lu and her children, he couldn't help but say sourly: "Lord Xu once won the top three places in the imperial examinations. His knowledge is not much less than those great scholars. This Lu gave birth to a daughter who is good at scheming. Not only did she send the Qi family's daughter to Confucius as a closed disciple, but now she can also let Bai Luochuan study with Lord Xu."

Bai Zhenzhen looked unhappy and snorted, "When I marry Master Xu in the future, those two siblings won't be able to take advantage of me anymore!"

"That's right. When you marry Lord Xu, we'll let Yaoting study with him." Li held Bai Zhenzhen's hand and looked forward to the future. "Lord Xu is a Sanyuan, maybe he can teach another Sanyuan!"

Bai Zhenzhen smiled shyly, "Then when are you going to find someone to go to the Xu residence to plead for me?"

"I've considered this matter thoroughly, and the most suitable person is Madam Kong."

Li has been asking about Xu Lingyun these days. "He has no parents. He only has an uncle who lives far away in his old house in Jingzhou, but they haven't been in contact for many years. The only one who is close to him is his teacher Confucius."

"Mom, then you should go find Madam Kong as soon as possible." Bai Zhenzhen reached out and pushed her.

"On the tenth day of the lunar month, I sent someone to invite Madam Kong, but she declined the invitation, saying that she was not feeling well and could not see guests."

Bai Zhenzhen looked anxious, "What should I do then?"

"What are you in a hurry for?"

Li glared at her with amusement, raised her hand and poked her forehead, "Your head is there to be used, don't learn from your second aunt."

Bai Zhenzhen has been with Li since she was a child, and has been influenced by her, so naturally she is not a naive person.

She pondered it carefully, and her eyes suddenly lit up, "Mom, go talk to Second Aunt and ask Bai Youyou to help ask Madam Kong."

"The wise use their wisdom to the fullest, and the hardworking use their strength to the fullest." Li's lips curled up, "Employ those who can be used, and discard those that can be discarded!"

"My daughter took note of it."

Bai Zhenzhen humbly accepted the instruction. She picked up the kite-making tools she brought with her and said, "Mother, in a month or so, we can go outing. Please help your daughter make two kites. Then I will invite Xu Mengling to go outing with us in the suburbs of Beijing."

"Let Mammy do it with you. I'll go find your second aunt."

Bai Zhenzhen knew that Li would go to Lu to talk about her and Lord Xu, so she blushed and urged, "Then go quickly."

Li took her maid to Fangfei Garden, and Lu packed up and prepared to go to Wanbao Tower to collect the previous dividends.

Seeing Lu, she smiled and asked, "Sister-in-law, why are you here?"

"Are you going out?"

"Well, I made an appointment with cousin Yueying to go out for a walk together."

Lu asked the maid to serve tea, and she led Li into the house, "Is there anything wrong, sister-in-law?"

Li sat on a chair, looked around the room, and asked casually, "Where's Youyou? Should I go to the street with you?"

Lu waved her hand, "Youyou is busy."

"I've noticed that Youyou has been going out early and coming back late these days. This little girl is at the age of recruiting men, so we need to keep a close eye on her and don't let those with bad intentions take advantage of her."

"No, my little Qi is with us. Those people with bad intentions can't get close to my daughter."

Mrs. Lu didn't hear the sarcasm in Mrs. Li's words. She just thought that she really cared about Bai Youyou, and said cheerfully: "Isn't this my cousin Yueying's youngest son? He brought back a batch of pearls from the beach and said he wanted to open a jewelry store specializing in pearls."

"Youyou is also going to open a shop?" There was a flash of disdain in Li's eyes, but her voice was full of worry, "Opening a shop is a good thing, but she is the daughter of a marquis, and it will be bad for her reputation if she is exposed to the business world."

"There's no need for her to show up. Everything has been done. Someone will take care of it."

Lu also heard that Li's words seemed to look down on merchants, and her smiling face suddenly darkened, "Besides, what's wrong with being a merchant? If you don't steal or rob, you can earn money with your own ability, and spend it with peace of mind."

Bai Qingyu was demoted for taking bribes and is now idle at home. Lu has always been sharp-tongued and knows where to poke people in the heart to make them feel the most uncomfortable.

The curve of Li's lips rose and fell. She wiped the tip of her nose with a handkerchief and said awkwardly, "That's not what I meant. I'm just worried that Youyou is young and might be easily deceived."
