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

"My son is really smart," Mrs. Lu laughed, "It will be useless even if your father asks your grandmother for help this time."

"Mother, don't let others find fault with you for such trivial matters as eating and drinking. Madam Qian is here to take care of everything. You just need to watch from the side."

"Mother always listens to my son."

Lu rubbed his hands in preparation, looking regretful, "What a pity, I wanted to go into battle myself before."

Bai Youyou looked at her eagerness to try and couldn't help laughing, "Mom, the younger one can't do it, so you can go on stage yourself."

"Yes, I can't teach the younger one a lesson, but the older one can't get away with it!"

Mrs. Lu grinned from ear to ear when she was happy. When the maid said that Zhang Momo brought the fifth young lady, she immediately sat up straight.

"Second Madam, Aunt Qiao was disrespectful to the mistress and has been confined to her room for a month. The old lady has brought the fifth young lady here. The old lady said that she can go back when she has learned the rules well."

"Thank you, Madam." The smile on Lu's face never faded. "Cuizhu, quickly serve Madam some tea."

"Don't bother me. The old lady has other things to tell me. I will go back now."

Zhang Momo bowed politely before leaving with her people.

Bai Yaoyao's face turned pale. She trembled and bowed, "Mother."

"You are really so arrogant. If the old lady doesn't invite you, how can I, your stepmother, invite you?"

Lu slapped the table with her palm, and with a "bang", Bai Yaoyao's already weak body trembled suddenly with fear.

"Mother, forgive me."

Bai Yaoyao knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face in an instant, "It's all my fault. I caught a cold recently, and I feel sorry for her. I wanted to ask you to let me rest for a few days, and then come back to learn the rules from you."

Sure enough, not everyone can be a vixen.

Seeing her crocodile tears coming out like a leak in the sky, Mrs. Lu said disdainfully, "Don't imitate your mother's foxy behavior. I haven't done anything to you. You are pretending to be so pitiful. Do you want people to say that I, your stepmother, have treated you harshly?"

"My daughter doesn't dare."

Bai Yaoyao wiped her tears with a handkerchief, her body trembling slightly. She caught a glimpse of Bai Youyou sitting on a chair beside her, eating cakes and drinking scented tea, and she tortured her hundreds of times in her heart.

If it weren't for her, how could Lu have caught her fault?

Now not only she was punished, but her mother also suffered the consequences.

"Get up, don't get dizzy again."

Mrs. Lu remembered her daughter's words and did not take any action. She turned around and told Madam Qian, "Madam Qian, Miss Five is now in your hands."

"Yes."

Madam Qian agreed with a smile, and walked to Bai Yaoyao in two steps, saying with a kind smile: "Fifth Miss, please follow me. The Second Madam is kind and has reserved a separate room for you."

Bai Yaoyao didn't want to show up in front of Lu, so she lowered her head and followed Nanny Qian away.

The first thing Nanny Qian did was to teach Bai Yaoyao how to stand.

Mrs. Lu had been used to being frugal since she was a child. The charcoal fire in the house was not as strong as that of Aunt Qiao. Bai Yaoyao was wearing thin clothes, and before she had stood for half an hour, she felt like an icicle hanging under the eaves.

"Snapped!"

As soon as she moved, Nanny Qian's ruler fell on her.

"Mammy, can you let me rest for a while?"

Bai Yaoyao looked at her pitifully, with tears in her eyes.

"Fifth Miss, the old lady has instructed that you must be taught well."

Nanny Qian smiled particularly kindly, but her strength did not decrease. Each blow was below the waist, which was painful but not easy to cause bruises.

Bai Youyou hid under the window and peeked for a while, and couldn't help but be amazed.

The rules of the ancients were so strict. I hope this day will never come to her. It must be so painful for her.

Outside the house, the wind was howling and the snow was falling.

When Bai Yanlang came home from outside, he was invited to Weiruixuan by Aunt Qiao's maid.

As soon as he opened the curtain and stepped into the room, he was embraced by a warm and soft beauty.

It was warm in the house, and the snow on my shoulders melted into a puddle in just a few breaths.

"Husband~"

Aunt Qiao hugged his slightly fat waist, buried her head in his chest, and cried in her voice.

The familiar scent of gardenia wafted into his nose. Bai Yanlang hugged the person in his arms and asked worriedly, "Jiaojiao, what happened?"

"Husband, you must save our daughter!"

Aunt Qiao raised her head and cried, "Madam came early in the morning to take Yaoyao away. I said I would wait until Yaoyao recovered and then go to learn the rules. Madam didn't even want to spend these few days, and she even specially asked my aunt to drag Yaoyao away."

She exaggerated the story in her own favor and did not mention a single word about the beating of Cuizhu.

Bai Yanlang was immediately furious when he heard this, "Lu Jianan, she is so vicious!"

"Poor girl, she is still sick and weak, how can she bear all that torture? I'm afraid it will cost my son his life!"

Aunt Qiao almost cried her heart out, and Bai Yanlang's eyes turned red with heartache.

"Don't be afraid, Jiaojiao. I will go to Lu's place and bring Yaoyao back!"

He hadn't even taken off his cloak when he turned around, opened the curtain and walked out, cursing as he walked: "This vicious woman is really outrageous!"

Aunt Qiao stood in front of the door, wiped away her tears, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Lu, even if I don't have the old lady's support, you will never be my opponent!"

"Mom, why are you standing at the door? It's very windy."

The young man in a white brocade jacket brushed off the rain and snow on his body and walked inside with Aunt Qiao.

"Why did San'er come back so late today? What did the teacher teach you?"

Aunt Qiao straightened his collar with a gentle look on her face.

"The teacher assigned homework. I went to Baijia Bookstore with my classmates to buy some books today, so I came back a little late."

Bai Muchen was fifteen years old and was already eight feet tall. He picked up the hot tea from the small stove on the table and poured a cup to Aunt Qiao, "Mother, a friend of mine wants to sell his treasured Ziyun inkstone. The inkstone is in excellent condition and my son wants to buy it."

Aunt Qiao took his tea and glared at him with a smile, "I knew your tea was not tasty."

"Thank you, mother."

Bai Muchen was delighted and quickly helped her sit down. "My son will study hard, pass the imperial examinations, and be filial to you, mother."

"Just your sweet mouth."

Aunt Qiao drank the tea, and Bai Muchen took the teacup and placed it on the table. She asked with a smile, "Tell me, how much silver does the Ziyun Inkstone cost?"

"Not expensive, just eight hundred taels."

"Eight hundred taels?!"

Aunt Qiao exclaimed, "Isn't eight hundred taels expensive?"

"Mom, the Purple Cloud Inkstone is hard to come by. Buy it now and keep it for later. If you meet a generous buyer, you will definitely make a lot of money."

Bai Muchen coaxed her, "When I make money, I will buy you nice clothes, jewelry, and top-quality rouge and powder. I will make you beautiful and glorious, and make the girl in Fangfei Garden envious."

"I don't know who you took that mouth from."

"It must be from my mother."

Aunt Qiao stretched out her index finger and tapped his forehead. "Wait, I'll get you some money."
