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

"Grandmother cut off all ties with those people because of this?"

"Yes." Lu nodded, "Your grandfather was beaten with a hundred military sticks. If it weren't for Doctor Pang, mother would have no father."

Bai Youyou didn't know about this. No wonder her grandmother's attitude towards Caiyun was not as kind as towards others.

Caiyun, who was talked about by the mother and daughter, left the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion and went straight to the Marquis Yongning's Mansion.

Bai Qingyu and Li listened to the report from the two servants and were both a little confused.

"How did this second brother know the whereabouts of Pai Huazi? He actually knew it before Lord Xu."

It's really puzzling.

The doorman came to report, "Madam, there is someone claiming to be Mrs. Song who wants to see you."

Li's tears sparkled, and she quickly said, "Please invite the person in."

When the woman met him, Bai Qingyu got up and went to the inner room.

As soon as Caiyun entered the room, she said apologetically, "Madam Hou, I am so ashamed to have failed to live up to your trust."

"You can't be blamed for this. If you want to blame someone, blame my second brother. He acted too foolishly."

Li asked her to sit down and had someone serve her tea.

Caiyun grabbed the handkerchief, hesitating to speak, "This matter has not been accomplished, so what about the matter we talked about before..."

"Haha, my second child is still young, he can't be single forever." Mrs. Li patted her hands and said with a smile: "Don't worry, what we said before still counts."

"Thank you, Mrs. Li." Caiyun was very happy.

Li exchanged a few polite words with her and then sent Caiyun away. Bai Qingyu came out of the room and asked, "Which woman from the Song family in Beijing is this?"

"It's just a lowly merchant family," Li said with undisguised contempt, "The only thing that can be put on the table is the identity of the niece of the old lady of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion."

Bai Qingyu thought of what happened decades ago and frowned, "Old Madam Lu doesn't recognize those poor relatives, so how did you get involved with her?"

"It's all because of Qingshuang."

Li sighed heavily, "I was out on the street today, and this girl from the Song family came up to me and tried to make friends with me, so I just mentioned it casually. She offered to help, so I thought it would be okay to give it a try."

Li curled her lips with disdain, "He is really useless!"

"Then why did you mention the second brother?"

"I promised her that as long as she goes to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to help mediate the matter, I will help her daughter and the second son get married, regardless of whether it succeeds or not."

"What does she like about the second brother?" Bai Qingyu sneered, "She is indeed a businessman, she will try to curry favor with the rich and powerful!"

Thinking of the girl she met today, Li covered her mouth and laughed. She whispered something in Bai Qingyu's ear, which made Bai Qingyu's eyes widen.

"Is he a fool?!"

Li nodded, "Not very smart."

"Let alone their identities, the second brother won't agree just because he has a problem with his brain, not to mention the old Qiao family."

Li looked at him sideways like that, "It's impossible to see each other normally, but what if the second brother is confused himself?"

Bai Qingyu's eyes rolled and he had an idea in mind.

Bai Yanlang, who was being plotted against, sat dejectedly in Bai Yaoyao's room. "This is just a coincidence. Dad can't do anything about it."

"How could it be such a coincidence?"

Bai Yaoyao put down the jade bracelet she had spent a lot of money on today, frowning, "Have you sent someone to investigate this matter?"

"I checked and it was indeed an accident."

Bai Yanlang blinked and looked at her pitifully, "Yaoyao, think about it quickly, is there anything else you can do to make Dad a hero?"

Bai Yaoyao frowned and thought carefully. It seemed that apart from the incident that shocked the government and the public, nothing major had happened this year.

But there is one small thing.

She looked Bai Yanlang up and down, then nodded with satisfaction.

The brain is not good, but the face is okay.

"The previous father-in-law is useless, Dad, how about changing him?"

That man was highly valued by the emperor. His daughter was originally meant to be paired with Xu Lingyun, a supporting character in the book, but it would be nice to be given to her father.

Not only that, it can also help the prince win over an old minister, killing two birds with one stone!

Bai Yanlang looked at her in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"The daughter of Censor Qian has been widowed for eight years. If you can marry his daughter, it will only be a matter of time before you can change your family status."

"How could the daughter of Censor Qian be interested in me?"

Bai Yanlang still has some self-awareness.

He is now divorced, and not only the daughter of a third-rank minister, but even the daughter of an ordinary family would not be willing to marry him.

"On March 16, she will go to Fairy Lake for a swim. Wait for her to fall into the lake and then go down to save her. Then you can have physical contact with her. Even if Censor Qian doesn't agree, it won't work."

"really?"

Bai Yanlang sat up straight with a fiery light in his eyes.

"Can what I said be false?"

Bai Yaoyao gave a light scold, picked up the jade bracelet from the brocade box, put it on her wrist, and admired it in a good mood.

The branches outside the window seemed to tremble a few times in the wind.

In the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, Bai Youyou listened to Lu Qi's report and the corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably.

"The previous father-in-law is useless, do you want to change him?"

Lu Qi frowned and said with a hint of teasing, "Your aunt is also planning to find a new father-in-law for your ex-father."

"Who does she want to replace?"

Bai Youyou was speechless. There were actually so many people who cared about Bai Yanlang, a useless piece of mud.

"It's the old lady's niece, Caiyun, her daughter."

"Her daughter has a crush on my ex-father?"

Bai Youyou was really speechless.

"Her daughter is a fool. She is in her twenties and still can't get married. In order to avenge your father, your aunt is planning to make her your ex-father's second wife and your brother's stepmother."

"No wonder."

Bai Youyou suddenly realized.

No wonder Caiyun suddenly came to the door with a shameless face to establish a relationship, it turned out to be for this matter.

She pondered for a moment, and then her eyes moved, and a good idea suddenly came to her mind.

Bai Youyou smiled evilly, "Go and quietly reveal this news to Li."

Rather than having a powerful stepmother to cause trouble for the Lu family, it would be better for Bai Yanlang to marry a stupid one to make him mad to death!

Lu Qi originally thought so too and immediately left.

The moon sets and the sun rises, and the next day is another sunny day.

Today is the day that Bai Luochuan will take the examination. Bai Youyou and Lu are waiting at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall early.

"Hey, Uncle Xu!"

Bai Youyou spotted him in the crowd with her sharp eyes, and quickly stood on the carriage and waved at him.

Xu Lingyun wore a jade crown and a light blue silk robe today, which made her look as gentle and elegant as jade.

"Uncle Xu, why are you here?"

He walked to Bai Youyou's carriage and said with a smile: "Luo Chuan is also half of my disciple. I didn't have time to send him off before the exam. Today is my day off, so I'll come and pick him up."

"Troubling you."

Lu came out of the carriage and spoke to him politely.

"Boom boom boom——"

The gong sounded three times, and the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall, which had been closed for three days, opened from the inside, and the students taking the exam rushed out in a swarm.

Bai Youyou and Lu arrived early. When Bai Luochuan came out, he saw his sister in a pink gauze dress, standing on the carriage, waving and shouting at him.

He pushed through the crowd and walked over. Seeing Xu Lingyun was also looking, he quickly grinned and bowed.

"No need to be polite outside."

"Hurry up, hurry up, everyone, get up here, or we won't be able to squeeze out anymore."

Bai Youyou pulled Bai Luochuan onto the carriage and said to Xu Lingyun, "Uncle Xu, I have reserved a table at Jufulou. Let's have lunch together at noon."

Xu Lingyun didn't hesitate and jumped onto the shaft of the carriage, asking the driver to drive the carriage away from the Imperial Examination Hall.

In front of Jufulou, Bai Yanlang's face darkened immediately when he saw Xu Lingyun getting off the carriage with Lu.
