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

Yongning Hou glared at her and said, "You've already lost half of it, why would you still beg for the rest?"

What's more, they don't even pay attention to you, and you just get the cold shoulder from them.

"If you don't ask for help, you'll lose half of it!"

Bai Qingshuang stamped her feet and yelled, "These were all bought with the money I exchanged for my dowry. If all of this is gone, will you give me another dowry?"

Yongning Hou glanced at her and snorted coldly, "A daughter who is married off is like water spilled. You are too careless. You deserve the loss!"

"That's all your fault. If you hadn't gone behind my back to frame Youyou, would Second Aunt and the others dislike me so much now?"

"You bastard!"

Marquis Yongning stared with a sullen look in his eyes. He raised his hand as if to hit Bai Qingshuang, but Li hurriedly stopped him.

Li choked Bai Qingshuang and said, "How do you talk to your father like that? Why don't you apologize to your father right now?"

"I'm not wrong!"

Bai Qingshuang stiffened her neck, "Why would you harm Youyou? Second Aunt is not competing with you for anything. You are really vicious and rotten!"

She was angry and spoke without thinking.

Bai Zhengnan grabbed her arm and shouted, "Bai Qingshuang!"

Bai Qingshuang broke free from his wrist and turned away angrily, "If you don't help me, I'll go find someone myself!"

Lu and Bai Youyou also knew the news that Bai Mulin had passed the imperial examination, but what surprised them even more was that Li Xiucai was also on the list.

Bai Youyou ordered Xiaoju, "Go prepare some gifts and have someone send them to Li Xiucai later."

"Slave, go now."

Xiaoju was about to leave, and Bai Youyou reminded her: "Prepare two pieces of good material, and some things that are convenient for exchange."

Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "That's not necessary. Mr. Li is no longer the same Mr. Li as before. With the help of Princess Liyang, he is living a good life now."

Only then did Bai Youyou remember that Princess Liyang's only son was missing.

"I forgot about this," she told Xiaoju, "so prepare something decent to send over."

The sun was still good today, Bai Youyou said something to Lu and took Xiaoju to Baozhu Tower.

The entrance to Baozhu Tower was crowded with people, and a sharp female voice was heard from inside.

"These are clearly river pearls, but you're selling them as sea pearls. This is clearly a scam!"

Qi Lian looked at the red pear blossom hairpin in his hand, which had clearly been undone, and his face was so gloomy that water seemed to be dripping out of it.

This pearl is indeed a river pearl, but it is definitely not the sea pearl they use.

"My lady, this pear blossom hairpin is ours, but the river pearls on it are not ours. This hairpin has signs of being disassembled. You know the truth."

"Humph, there's no sign of disassembly anywhere on this. You're defrauding your customers!"

Bai Youyou squeezed in from the crowd. The one causing trouble in the shop was none other than Li Qiu, the maidservant of her good cousin Bai Qingshuang.

Just as she was about to go in, a woman in gorgeous purple clothes walked in.

"Princess Liyang."

When Qi Lian saw her, he immediately bowed to her.

"I am the guest today, so there is no need to be polite, boss."

Princess Liyang smiled faintly. Li Qiu, who was standing by, saw her, his eyes flickered, and he looked away guiltily.

Princess Liyang originally didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but that was a different story since this person was Bai Qingshuang's man.

"Just now, I heard you guys quarreling outside the door. What happened?"

Qi Lian told her the story impartially and showed her the red hairpin in his hand, "There are traces of being cut and re-welded here. She insisted on accusing our Baozhu Tower of using river pearls instead of sea pearls and passing off inferior products as good ones."

Princess Liyang took the pearl hairpin and took a look at it, then sneered, "Has the Yongning Marquisate gone mad because of poverty? They actually have to rely on fraud to make a living?"

She had seen and recognized Bai Qingshuang's maid.

Li Qiu met her sarcastic look and his face turned red.

She didn't want to do this at first, but Bai Yaoyao said openly and secretly that Baozhu Tower had ruined her business. Her young lady then remembered that she had bought a pearl hairpin from Baozhu Tower before, so she used this method to cause trouble.

She hoped that after seeing this, Bai Yaoyao would take the cotton and linen cloth from her, otherwise who would be willing to do such a thing that would lower their status.

She had not expected to meet Princess Liyang here today.

She snatched the hairpin from Princess Liyang's hand and said sternly, "You know whether it is inferior or not."

As soon as Li Qiu rushed out the door, he was blocked by Bai Youyou who was standing at the door.

"Miss, our Baozhu Lou has always been honest in doing business and never does anything to deceive our customers."

"Fourth Miss, is this Baozhu Tower yours?"

Li Qiu looked shocked.

Bai Yaoyao didn’t tell her young lady that this was Bai Youyou’s shop!

You have to know that this shop belongs to Bai Youyou. How could her lady want her to do such a stupid thing?

Li Qiu smiled dryly, "This is really like a flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple. Family members don't recognize each other anymore. There are many misunderstandings about this matter. Maybe I made a mistake."

"Whether it's a mistake or a misunderstanding, let's go find the government officials to deal with this matter. The government will make the final decision on the facts."

Bai Youyou curled her lips and sneered.

How dare you come to our store to cause trouble? What do you think this is? A place where you can come and go as you please!

When he heard that he was going to report the matter to the police, Li Qiu tightened his grip on Zhu Chai's hand and his breathing became rapid.

"No, no, no, I was confused about this matter. I didn't know this was your shop, Fourth Miss. I broke the red hairpin myself, and I also replaced the river beads on it myself."

Li Qiu didn't want to provoke Bai Youyou. If Bai Yaoyao didn't work out, her young lady would have to ask for help from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Bai Youyou didn't want to bother Xu Lingyun about this matter. She turned sideways and raised her chin towards the people watching outside.

"You need to explain the facts clearly to the people outside."

Li Qiu knew that today's matter would not be resolved if he didn't do what she said, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell the truth to the people outside.

"You broke it yourself and you're accusing others of it. Bah!"

The facts were clear, and the onlookers dispersed immediately when they saw that there was nothing to watch.

Bai Youyou walked into the store and bowed to Princess Liyang, "Thank you for your help just now, Your Highness."

"I just saw injustice and said something fair. Miss Bai, there is no need to thank me."

Li Yang looked at Bai Youyou with a gentle expression.

She had heard from Xu Lingyun about the previous beacon-shooting incident, and it was thanks to the help of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion that the case was solved so quickly.

"Lord Xu told me that the case of the missing child was solved thanks to the help from the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion. Actually, if I have to thank you, I should thank you."

"That was just a coincidence. You are too polite, Princess."

Bai Youyou exchanged a few words with her. Princess Liyang was generous and bought several pieces of jewelry in the store before leaving.

Qi Lian took a day off from his busy schedule to find Bai Youyou, "Xiao Si, I found a small restaurant with great food. I'll take you there to try it today."

Business is good and Qi Lian is so happy that he can’t stop smiling all day long.

Bai Youyou hasn't gone out for a few days and now wants to go out for a walk.
