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

Over the years, Bai Yanlang gave silver from time to time, and with the money she took from Duke Zhong under other pretexts, as well as the income from her own dowry, Aunt Qiao had saved up nearly ten thousand taels.

She still felt very distressed when she spent only eight hundred taels at once.

The eldest son is going to get married at the beginning of the year, and the second son also has to make preparations. If the third daughter wants to live a decent life in her husband's family in the future, she has to save up a generous dowry.

She came out with eight hundred taels of silver and warned, "Take care of the inkstone. Don't drop it."

"No, mother, don't worry."

Bai Muchen happily took the banknote and stuffed it into his sleeve. "The homework assigned by the teacher has not been completed yet, so my son has gone back to study."

"Go ahead, don't work too hard."

Aunt Qiao saw him out the door and watched him leave, her heart filled with pride.

Although Mrs. Lu had the title of legal wife, her two sons were much more capable than her son who only cared about seeking fame and reputation.

The rows of icicles hanging from the eaves are crystal clear, and under the light of the red lanterns, they look like upside-down red candles.

Bai Yanlang, who only came three or five times a month, came to Fangfei Garden again in the snow.

Through the window frames covered with white paper, you can see a few vague shadows inside the house.

Bai Youyou and Lu had just finished their meal together. They were drinking scented tea brewed by Cuizhu and listening to Xiaoju telling stories. The mother and son laughed out loud from time to time.

Bai Yanlang stood at the door, and his anger was somewhat dispelled by Yinling's laughter.

Mrs. Lu was considerate of her servants and asked them to go downstairs to rest in such a cold weather. When they saw Bai Yanlang coming in, neither of them was surprised.

"Cough cough."

Suddenly being stared at by four pairs of eyes at the same time, Bai Yanlang covered his lips uncomfortably and coughed twice.

Mrs. Lu knew why he came and had already been taught by her daughter how to deal with it. So she was not in a hurry and had the leisure to ask him if he wanted to have dinner.

Bai Yanlang untied his cloak and threw it on the soft couch beside him. He snorted coldly, "If I say I haven't had any food, will you still make soup for me now?"

"I'm just asking casually. If you haven't eaten yet, go to Aunt Qiao's place later. She has a small kitchen."

Lu responded with a remark, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and started cracking them, and motioned to Xiaoju, "Go on."

Bai Youyou called him "Dad" when he came, and then ate an orange without paying any attention to him.

Bai Yanlang touched his nose, feeling a little out of place here.

Remembering why he came here, he sat up straight and frowned, "You brought Yaoyao here today?"

"Didn't my mother ask me to have someone teach her the rules? I am just following her orders."

Lu glanced at him and continued to crack melon seeds.

Before he could open his mouth, Lu continued, "I was afraid that you would say that I was mistreating your precious concubine, so I specially asked my eldest sister-in-law to send a nanny."

Bai Yanlang: "......"

That's what he meant, but there's no need to be so direct, right?

This Lu was speaking with sarcasm and made it seem like he wanted to kill someone!

He took a sip of the hot tea that Yang Momo poured for him, and said with a long face: "It's not too late to learn the rules a few days later. Yaoyao has caught a cold and hasn't recovered yet. Ask the nanny sent by my eldest sister-in-law not to be too harsh."

"Go talk to your sister-in-law yourself. I have no right to control her."

Lu answered with ease, cracking melon seeds with her little mouth, never idle for a moment.

"How can I tell this to my sister-in-law? Go and talk to her tomorrow."

Bai Yanlang's commanding tone made Lu furious.

"You asked me to run errands for that little bitch, are you out of your mind?"

She raised her hand and smashed the melon seeds in her palm into his face. "I'm being kind by not setting the rules for her myself. Don't push your luck!"

Bai Youyou glanced at Bai Yanlang calmly and said at the right time: "Mom, no matter what you do, it won't be to Dad's liking. Return your aunt's people tomorrow and teach them yourself."

"That's good. I finally have a way to vent all the frustration I've been suffering over the years!"

Lu's anger suddenly subsided. She grinned, waved her sleeves and sat back in her chair.

"Madam, calm down, calm down, that's not what I meant."

Bai Yanlang knew that he had gone too far, so he quickly put on a smile and handed Lu's teacup to her, "You must be eating too many melon seeds and your mouth is dry. Have some tea to moisten your throat."

"Stop it!"

Lu was afraid that he would grab her arm, so she snorted and took the teacup he handed her.

"I still have some official business to attend to, so I'll leave now. You should rest early."

Fearing that Mrs. Lu would go back on her word again, he picked up the cloak beside him and strode out of Fangfei Garden.

After thinking about it, he turned around and went to the old lady's yard again.

Zhang Momo blocked him at the door and didn't even let him in. "The old lady had a headache these days and went to bed early. Is there anything wrong, Second Master? How about I go and wake the old lady up?"

"No, I just want to see my mother."

Bai Yanlang stopped her and asked with concern: "Mother has a headache, have you found a doctor to come and see her?"

"I asked the doctor from Jishiditang to come and check it out this afternoon. He said it was an old problem and I needed to calm down and take care of myself, and not worry too much."

Zhang Momo had her usual gentle smile on her face, and Bai Yanlang did not doubt her. "Then I'll trouble you to be more careful and take good care of mother."

"The old lady is my master, I will do my best, don't worry, Master."

Bai Yanlang nodded at her, turned around and walked towards Weiruixuan.

The sky was pitch black, and it was difficult to see one's hand.

When Aunt Qiao heard the "dong dong dong" footsteps coming from the wooden corridor, she immediately put down the embroidery in her hands, stood up and walked to the door.

Bai Yanlang lifted the curtain and came in. She looked at the empty space behind him and her eyes immediately became misty. "But Madam doesn't want to let him go?"

"no......"

Bai Yanlang quickly explained: "Lu didn't torture Yaoyao, she went to find the eldest sister-in-law, and now it is the nanny sent by the eldest sister-in-law who is teaching Yaoyao the rules, not Lu."

"Who did the Madam send?"

"Uh, I didn't ask."

Aunt Qiao's dark eyes were filled with tears, and she looked fragile and pitiful. Bai Yanlang held her in his arms and walked forward with her.

As they walked, he said, "Since they are sent by my sister-in-law, they will definitely not torture you. You can relax."

Qiao was under house arrest today. She had always thought that Lu would not miss this opportunity, but she didn't know that it was someone sent by the eldest lady.

This way, she felt more at ease.

Mrs. Qiao wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief, quickly ordered people to serve the food, brought up the wine that had been warmed up long ago, and served him tenderly and attentively.

On the other side, Bai Youyou looked at the letter sent by Zhao Qianqian and frowned for a moment.

There are four days left. If Zhao Qianqian fails to arouse Xiao Huaijin's sympathy in these four days, she will die.

A chance encounter doesn't work, and pretending to sprain my ankle in front of him doesn't get his attention. Is he really a gentleman?

But that day at the banquet hosted by Lord Xunyang, wasn’t he quite attentive to Bai Yaoyao?

Could it be because of Bai Yaoyao’s halo as the heroine?

Bai Youyou stroked his chin, his mind working like crazy like gears.

She didn't fall asleep until midnight.

Just as daybreak approached, she suddenly had an idea.

Immediately, he sat up in shock from his illness!
