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

"Miss Bai, please wait here for a moment. Allow me to go in and make the announcement."

The butler was afraid that Marquis Yong'an had done something shameful, so he quickly went into the study alone.

"My Lord..."

The housekeeper was shocked when he saw the grief-stricken look on Yong'an Marquis's face. "What happened?"

Wan Ming said in a heavy tone: "The prince was killed by the Zhenguo Duke's granddaughter Bai Youyou."

"what?!"

The housekeeper's eyes widened in disbelief, "Why would Bai Youyou go to Yucheng when she was fine?"

Yucheng is thousands of miles away from the capital, close to the border...

Could it be that she happened to encounter him when she went to the border to look for the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion?

Wan Ming pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment and said, "Manager Chen said that Bai Youyou appeared on the canal for some reason, and the young master had her fished out. He didn't want to cause trouble, so he took her to Yucheng."

He recounted in detail what Steward Chen had said and what he had found out, and the steward was so confused after hearing it that he could not find his tongue.

Putting aside other factors, to be objective and fair, his son deserved it.

However, his lord had only this one precious child, and now that he was dead, he wouldn't care whether his son was at fault first.

Sure enough, Yong'an Hou tried hard to swallow his cry, and said with bloodshot eyes: "Even if Jiang Hui was wrong first, how could she have the heart to beat him to death?!"

The housekeeper knew his character best, and at this moment he could only go against his conscience and say, "That's right, how could you be so cruel!"

They spoke in loud and angry voices. Bai Yaoyao, who was standing outside the door, heard everything they said.

Bai Youyou killed Jiang Hui? !

She looked surprised.

Wasn’t Jiang Hui imprisoned by the emperor? How come he was in Yucheng?

How could Bai Youyou go to Yucheng, and be abused by Jiang Hui, and finally kill him by accident!

This is a mortal feud!

In the room, Marquis Yong'an was still cursing and venting his anger, and Bai Yaoyao was sweating profusely under the sun.

She fanned herself with her hands, looked up at the glaring sun above her head, and simply walked in.

Yong'an Hou still had a trace of rationality. When he saw Bai Yaoyao, he immediately stopped talking and asked, "What did you hear?"

Jiang's return to Yucheng was an act of subterfuge. Even if he knew that Bai Youyou was the murderer, he would not be able to avenge Jiang openly. Instead, he had to help cover it up.

"I've heard everything I should have heard."

Bai Yaoyao was blunt and said directly: "Don't worry, Marquis Yong'an. I will never let out a single word that shouldn't be said."

There was a basin of ice in the corner of the room, and the cool air swept away the heat all over my body.

Bai Yaoyao walked to a chair nearby and sat down. "Instead of being so angry and helpless, why don't you find a way to kill her and vent your hatred?"

"She has the support of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion—"

"If it's not possible in the open, then what about the secret?"

Bai Yaoyao sneered, "What's a mere Duke Zhenguo Mansion? Get rid of General Yongwei's Mansion, and then get rid of the Duke Zhenguo Mansion as well."

What a loud tone!

Yong'an Hou looked at her unhappily, "The Zhenguo Mansion is not the Yongwei General's Mansion. Do you really think you are weeding and you can weed it whenever you want?"

"Humph, if you can't do anything about it, then why don't you just find someone who can do something about it?"

Bai Yaoyao raised her chin slightly with an arrogant look on her face.

The tears on Yong'an Hou's face had dried up. He wiped his face and said, "That's easy to say. Tell me, who can deal with them now?"

Bai Yaoyao glanced at the butler and Wan Ming. Marquis Yong'an understood and waved his hand, asking them to leave.

Ever since the incident in Quzhou, Marquis Yong'an finally believed in her abilities.

"It is impossible to uproot them now, but we can destroy them one by one!"

Bai Yaoyao now wants to be the Empress who is second only to the Emperor and above everyone else. She wants to enjoy the pleasure of being worshipped by everyone.

Get rid of General Yongwei's Mansion, and then find a way to eliminate the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion and take away the military power in their hands, even forcing the emperor to abdicate and kill him!

Yong'an Hou pursed his lips and waited for her next words, "Tell me how to defeat them one by one?"

"This October, the barbarians from the border will launch a surprise attack at night, and Lu Qinan will lead his men to fight back. You just need to send someone to tell them to avoid Beishan."

Bai Yaoyao's words made Yong'an Hou's pupils tremble, "This is the crime of treason and betrayal, you are so brave!"

"It's just Lu Qinan. Even if he dies, how can he affect the war situation on the border?"

Bai Yaoyao didn't care. She raised the corners of her lips and showed a disdainful smile, "Only when all the people in the Zhenguo Mansion are dead, you can take over their military power without any effort."

Marquis Yong'an's breathing stagnated.

Indeed, only when all the people in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion were dead, they would not have to spend much effort to get the military power in their hands.

only.......

Yong'an Hou was somewhat hesitant, "But if all the people in the Zhenguo Mansion are dead, who will guard the border?"

"There are hundreds of thousands of troops on the border. Are they the only people from the Zhenguo Mansion who can lead troops to fight?" Bai Yaoyao snorted coldly, "Without them, you can just promote your own people."

Marquis Yong'an lowered his eyes and thought about what she said.

If nothing goes wrong in this matter, the result will be to their benefit and not harm.

Thinking of his only son's tragic death, he gritted his teeth and made a decision in his heart.

Yong'an Hou walked to the table and personally poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of her. "Why are you here today?"

"That Baozhu Tower has been very arrogant recently, send a few people to cause trouble for them."

Her Mingzhu Building opened last month, and business became very popular in Beijing right from the start.

She could draw pictures, but had no experience in business management. Baozhu Building was full of troubles, which made her overwhelmed.

In Baozhu Tower, Qilian and Zhao Qianqian were sitting in the small hall at the back, looking through the account books after the business opened.

Qi Lian was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. "If this continues, it won't be long before I'll be a millionaire!"

Zhao Qianqian glanced at him and asked, "Any news about Youyou?"

"Xiao Si is fine. He is at the border now. The letter came back two days ago."

Qi Lian closed the account book, picked up the grapes from the plate beside him and handed them to her with a flattering smile on his face. "These are the fruits of the grape vines that I planted myself. I saved them especially for you."

Bai Youyou has been away for the past few days, so the jewelry patterns in the store were all drawn by Zhao Qianqian.

When Bai Yaoyao's Baozhu Tower first opened, its unique style became popular throughout the capital, making his Baozhu Tower deserted.

It was because Zhao Qianqian saw his predicament, took the initiative to come to help, and gave him many business advice that he was able to suppress Bai Yaoyao's Mingzhu Tower.

"That's all you're going to give me to thank me for?"

Zhao Qianqian rolled her eyes at him, took the grape, picked one and put it in her mouth and ate it.

Qi Lian chuckled and winked at her: "My elder brother will go to the Literary Museum tomorrow."
