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

Nanny Jiang smiled kindly, "Our old lady carefully selected the fabrics last year, and she embroidered all these stitches by herself."

Zhao Qianqian was filled with envy. She took the clothes and felt their softness. She was surprised and asked, "This material seems to be a little different from silk?"

Jiang Momo smiled and said, "These are silks and satins sent as tribute from foreign vassal states. They were awarded by the palace. The old lady sent someone to collect these two pieces last year and kept them specially for our young lady to make clothes."

"Wow, your grandmother is so nice to you!"

Zhao Qianqian touched it curiously, holding the clothes and gesturing on Bai Youyou, "No wonder, this is the first time I've seen such a gorgeous color."

Bai Youyou was pushed by her to the inner room to change into a plum-colored spring shirt. When she came out, Zhao Qianqian widened her eyes exaggeratedly.

"I have only heard that people are more beautiful than flowers before, but now I can see it with my own eyes. As expected, the ancients were not deceiving me!"

Bai Youyou is tall, with a slender waist and satin-like black hair draped over her shoulders.

She took after Lu in appearance, with a beautiful face and a pair of dark eyes like pearls. Her every frown and smile revealed an elegance and grace that was difficult to conceal.

Now, wearing a Sumei-colored gauze dress, she looks otherworldly, like a peach blossom fairy fallen from the celestial palace.

Jiang Momo also smiled and said, "Old Madam has a good eye. The waist and shoulder width are just right. There is no need to change it at all."

Bai Youyou turned around in a circle proudly, and large peach petals on the hem of her skirt floated up and down, like a rain of peach petals.

"Oh, I'm so jealous."

Zhao Qianqian pretended to be sour, she picked up the hem of her skirt and ran out, "No, I have to go back home and ask my grandmother to make me two nice clothes."

Bai Youyou looked at her cheerful back, and inspiration suddenly popped up in his mind.

She quickly walked to the table, put the white paper back on the table, picked up a sharp piece of bamboo charcoal and began to sketch quickly on the white paper.

Seeing this, Jiang Momo and Xiaoju walked out quietly, leaving Bai Youyou alone in the room writing furiously.

When it was getting dark, Lu Qi jumped in from the window.

Bai Youyou and Lu had finished their dinner and were drinking the flower tea given by Madam Kong.

"Did you find out?" Bai Youyou asked.

Lu Qi raised his chin slightly, "Bai Qingshuang from the first house came back home yesterday and said that she had 50,000 pieces of cotton and linen cloth that she wanted to sell to our family."

"No wonder your aunt came to our house with such a shameless face today!" Mrs. Lu suddenly realized, "So she wants to make money from us!"

Lu Qi continued, "Bai Qingshuang's husband's family is now pawning their ancestral belongings and is bankrupt. They have to rely on Bai Qingshuang's dowry to make ends meet. These cotton and linen cloths were bought with all of Bai Qingshuang's dowry. If this deal fails, they will probably lose everything."

Lu's face darkened and she said in a cold voice: "No matter where our Zhenguo Mansion buys cloth, we will never choose her. You are still trying to get money from us. It's just a foolish dream!"

Bai Youyou was full of suspicion, "The Qinzhou Yu family that Bai Qingshuang married into is not a small family, so how come they have to rely on their daughter-in-law's dowry to make ends meet?"

"Her uncle lost two hundred thousand taels in gambling, which emptied the family's wealth in an instant."

"Two hundred thousand taels!" Lu's jaw dropped in shock. She couldn't help but exclaimed, "This gambling is really harmful!"

She thought of the 100,000 taels of silver that Bai Luochuan owed before, and she grabbed Bai Youyou's hand, feeling terrified: "Fortunately you are smart, otherwise our family would be bankrupt now."

"I have to tell your aunt about this, lest your uncle and his men buy it from someone else and force it to be sold to us."

Lu was an impatient person to begin with. When she heard this, she could no longer suppress her anxiety and walked out the door while talking.

Lu Qi covered his face with a black scarf, and his big black eyes blinked a few times, "When I went to the Yongning Marquis's Mansion, I also saw Bai Yaoyao drawing jewelry drawings."

She took out a piece of paper from her arms and handed it to Bai Youyou.

Bai Youyou reached out to take it, and when she saw the style clearly, her pupils suddenly shrank.

really!

This Bai Yaoyao is not the original Bai Yaoyao!

"She has quite a few paintings. Do you want me to bring them all over?"

"No need."

This thing is in her mind, and she can still draw a second one after getting the pattern.

Bai Youyou returned the pattern to Lu Qi and told her, "Return the pattern later and check whether she sold these things to others or used them for herself."

If I open my own shop, I will definitely be a strong competitor in the future!

Lu Qi took the draft and said, "I also found out that your ex-father sent his confidant Li He to the old street in North City to look for the beggar a few days ago."

"Why does he want to find the flower boy?"

When Bai Youyou heard the word "former father", the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, but she was a little curious about why Bai Yanlang sent people to look for Paihuazi.

"This subordinate has not yet found out. Li He beside him seems to be unaware of it either. He is just following orders."

Bai Youyou lowered his eyes in thought.

Why did Bai Yanlang look for Pai Huazi? He had sent someone to the old street in North City a few days ago.

He is a profit-seeking person and would never do something for no reason.

Bai Youyou caught a glimpse of the jewelry pattern in Lu Qi's hand, and her breathing suddenly stopped.

Bai Yaoyao!

Bai Yaoyao must have known the plot in the book, which is why she asked Bai Yanlang to make arrangements in advance so as to solve the case of the missing child and make a contribution!

"Lu Qi, go keep an eye on Bai Yaoyao, and report to me immediately if anything happens!"

After Bai Youyou gave Lu Qi instructions, she hurried to Lu Chen's yard.

The servant saw her and replied respectfully, "Young lady, the Seventh Young Master has not returned home since he went out yesterday. If you have any urgent matters, you can go to our Madam."

"Well, I see."

Bai Youyou turned around and walked quickly towards the stable.

Leading her horse, she headed straight for Jingzhao Prefecture.

As she had guessed, Xu Lingyun was still handling official business in the government office. Everyone in the government office knew Bai Youyou and took her to Xu Lingyun's study.

"Uncle Xu."

Xu Lingyun looked up when he heard the voice and saw that it was her. He asked, "But what happened again?"

"You don't expect me to do anything good." Bai Youyou replied to him unhappily.

"If you have nothing to do, why are you coming to me at this dark hour?"

Xu Lingyun's face was full of fatigue. He stood up and walked to the table and sat down. He picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of her. "If you have anything to say, just tell me. Although Uncle Xu's ability is limited, he will definitely not sit idly by and watch your affairs."

"I came here today to tell you about the missing child."

Xu Lingyun took a sip of tea from the teacup and looked at her sideways, "How did you know this?"

"It's a long story."

"You can keep it short."

This is exactly what Bai Youyou wanted to make a long story short.
