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

Chapter 27: Taking people’s money to eliminate disasters

Lu's dowry was not much, and she was not favored by her husband. Apart from the necessities, she never bought expensive rouge, powder, silk and hairpins for herself, but she was bought a lot of precious jewelry for a girl.

Holding the white silver ingot in his hand, Bai Youyou felt a little swollen in his heart.

It turns out that this is how it feels to be a child loved by his mother.

She threw herself into Lu's arms, hugged her waist, and smelled her faint fragrance in her nose, and her eyes felt a little sore.

"what happened?"

Lu patted her back, a little confused.

"Mom, when I make money, I'll spend it all on you."

Bai Youyou blinked and held back the tears that were welling up in her eyes.

She smiled and stepped out of Lu's arms, putting the silver into the purse embroidered with green plums on her waist.

This is mother's love, she must keep it well.

"Okay, mother will wait to enjoy the blessing of my son."

Mrs. Lu fondly stroked her dark hair scattered on her shoulders, her expression doting, "It's getting late, go quickly."

Bai Youyou said goodbye to Lu and took Xiaoju to Jufulou in a carriage.

When Tianqi, Lu Chen's servant, saw her, he immediately came forward with a smile, "Miss."

There are no daughters among the younger generation in the Zhenguo Mansion, so everyone in the mansion respectfully calls her Miss Bai Youyou.

"When did my cousin arrive?"

Bai Youyou got off the carriage with the help of Xiaoju.

"I've been here for an hour." Tianqi smiled innocently, "Miss Zhao has also arrived a long time ago, please go in quickly."

Bai Youyou was led by Tianqi to the room on the second floor. Zhao Qianqian and Lu Chen were like fighting cocks, staring at each other.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, they both looked over at the same time, and when they saw it was Bai Youyou, smiles broke out on their faces.

"Youyou, you're here."

Lu Chen didn't stand up. When she sat down, he placed the hot tea in front of her.

Zhao Qianqian looked at her eagerly, waiting for her life-saving plan.

"It's like this." Bai Youyou took a sip of hot tea and said in a daze, "Seventh cousin, there is something I need your help with."

"what's up?"

When Lu Chen received the message from Lu Qi this morning, he thought that she was bullied and wanted to bring people to take revenge.

Now seeing her smile so cunningly, I think there is something else going on.

"Come on, let's plot something."

Bai Youyou put down the teacup in her hand and waved to the two of them.

Inside the room, three dark heads gathered together, muttering to each other for a long time before separating.

After listening, Zhao Qianqian looked at Bai Youyou, her eyes as hot as the charcoal fire burning in the stove beside her.

"Excellent, wonderful!"

Lu Chen rolled his eyes at her and frowned, "This is not a joke. If there is any mistake, it will be a serious crime."

"Cousin, it's just an act, I'm not really doing anything."

"Youyou, you are so good to me. From now on, my life belongs to you."

Bai Youyou pushed aside Zhao Qianqian, who was lying on top of her like she had no bones, and asked, "Have you figured out what Xiao Huaijin was doing today?"

"It's clear, it's clear, he's either in the White Egret Academy or the Literati Hall, I know how many times he farted in a day."

Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

Knowing that the matter was risky, Lu Chen still couldn't persuade Bai Youyou, and after the three of them carefully planned it out, they began to act.

Today the wind and snow have stopped, and the long-lost sun is hanging brightly in the sky.

Xiao Huaijin was wearing a white brocade robe and a gray cloak. As soon as he walked out of Bailu Academy, he glanced around.

A classmate nearby joked, "Hey, why didn't Miss Zhao come today?"

"She usually comes here on days with heavy snow. Why wouldn't she come today when the weather is nice? Something must have delayed her."

"Our brother Xiao is really charming. We don't have such good fortune."

"Ha ha ha ha--"

The crowd on the sidelines burst into laughter.

"Well, she is a girl after all, so please be gentle with your words and don't hurt Miss Zhao's reputation."

After everyone had finished laughing, Xiao Huaijin spoke up to stop them.

"Brother Xiao is indeed kind and gentle to women. We are ashamed of ourselves."

Xiao Huaijin had a gentle and approachable smile on his face, and he clasped his fists with everyone, "I still have to go to the Literary Museum to study, so I'll take my leave now."

After saying this, he asked the servant to drive to the Museum of Literature.

The carriage moved slowly through the thick white snow.

When turning into an alley, five burly men in black clothes and masks suddenly rushed out.

"what--"

The driver was about to shout when he was knocked unconscious by a knife-hand strike from one of the men in black.

When Xiao Huaijin heard the voice, he immediately lifted the car curtain and asked, "Who are you?!"

The man in black grabbed him by the collar and dragged him out of the car.

"what--"

"boom!"

Xiao Huaijin was nine feet tall, and when he was pulled like that, his head hit the eaves of the car, making a loud muffled sound.

The three people hiding in the dark, clinging to the wall, looked at the big red and swollen bump on his forehead, and couldn't help but let out a hiss.

None of them noticed that in a tall building nearby, a handsome man in black brocade clothes was leaning against the window, taking in the expressions of the three people.

"Isn't that the fourth young lady of the Bai family, the second wife of the Yongning Marquis, the legitimate daughter of Minister Zhao of the Ministry of Justice, and the seventh young master of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion?"

There was a man in a blue robe beside the man, who followed his gaze and looked in the direction with great interest: "Tsk tsk tsk, these three are really brave to kidnap Prime Minister Xiao's son."

"I guess it's revenge for that day."

As soon as the black-clothed man finished speaking, Lu Chen's gaze shot over like an eagle.

The two of them quickly disappeared to the side.

"Are you talking about the day when the Xunyang monarch held a banquet?"

The man in the blue robe thought of what happened that day and was a little puzzled. "Didn't they say that the fourth daughter of the second branch of the Bai family fell in love with Prime Minister Xiao's son? And that Minister Zhao's legitimate daughter has been guarding the gate of the academy these days, either pretending to meet by chance or falling down and spraining her ankle. She does all kinds of things just to attract Xiao Huaijin's attention."

He pondered for a moment, then clapped his hands suddenly, "I see, they failed in their courtship and instead felt resentment. They want to take revenge on Xiao Huaijin."

"Interesting, interesting."

He raised his arm and nudged the person next to him, "Seventeenth Uncle, shall we join in the fun?"

"Walk."

The man called the Seventeenth Uncle was also very interested. As soon as the man brought up the topic, he immediately turned around and grabbed his white fox fur coat and wrapped himself in it.

When he went out, he covered his mouth and kept coughing, and his straight back was slightly hunched.

The two of them walked very quickly, fearing that if they were too late, the show would be over.

In a remote alley, Xiao Huaijin stared at the dazzling broadsword in the black-clothed man's hand with horror, and kept backing away.

"I am the son of the Prime Minister. Who are you? What do you want to do?"

He was just a scholar who had never practiced martial arts and was so weak that he could not even tie a chicken. Facing five ferocious men, his face turned pale.

It seemed as if he could see the King of Hell standing in front of him, holding the Book of Life and Death and crossing out his name.

"Humph, the one you killed is your Prime Minister's son!"

The man in black snorted coldly and walked towards him, "In your next life, remember to keep your eyes open and know that there are some people you can't afford to offend!"

Xiao Huaijin was almost crying.

He is usually very polite to others, so it seems like he hasn't offended anyone, right?

After racking his brains, he could only think of one person - his half-brother Xiao Huaiyu.

"Don't kill me, I can give you whatever you want!"

"Take people's money to eliminate disasters."

After the men in black finished speaking the lines they had practiced long ago, the five of them did not give Xiao Huaiyu a chance to speak and rushed forward with their knives in hand.

"stop!"

Xiao Huaijin's eyes widened in horror, and just as he felt the icy energy of the sword, a delicate cry like the sound of nature reached his eardrums.

He looked in the direction of the voice and saw it was Zhao Qianqian. He was so excited that tears fell like rain, and there was no trace of the proud demeanor he had before.

"Miss Zhao, save me!"
