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

In previous years, the capital city was deserted in winter, but this year it was the opposite.

On the streets, many people dressed in silk and satin were strolling around with their entourage.

"What's a tender one?"

"What's this about?"

......

Accents from all over the country gather in the capital.

Bai Yaoyao stood by the window of the teahouse, looking at the merchants on the street looking for business opportunities, with a slight smile on her lips.

Bi Tao stood beside her, her eyes sweeping across the street, her face full of admiration: "Miss, how can you be sure that they will all come?"

"A dog, if you give him some food to lure him out, he'll come."

Bai Yaoyao snorted with contempt, turned around and walked out the door, "Is the Liuxian skirt I asked someone to customize two days ago ready?"

"It's already done." Bi Tao followed behind her, "but there's still money to be paid."

"Go to the account office of Mingzhu Tower and withdraw three thousand taels of silver. We still need to spend money on the business."

Bi Tao followed the order and went to Mingzhu Tower to find the accountant to withdraw money. The old accountant looked at the remaining silver in the account book with an embarrassed look.

"Miss Bi Tao, there is still more than one hundred taels of silver on the account..."

"There are only a little over a hundred taels of silver on the books?"

Bi Tao was a little bit unbelievable, "Mingzhu Tower's business is booming, how come there is only this little money on the account?"

"Here are the accounts. You can look at them for yourself."

The old accountant placed the account book in front of her and said, "This is only the silver on it. There are still some jewelry materials that have not been paid for."

Mingzhu Tower's business is booming, but they can't stand Bai Yaoyao coming to withdraw money every few days, and each time it's a large amount. The money they earn is not enough for her to spend!

He had never seen that rich young lady so arrogant and extravagant. She would drink Silver Needle tea which cost one ounce of silver and a hundred ounces, and would only eat cakes from Jufulou. She would change her clothes every day and never wear the same ones twice in half a year.

If she continues to build like this, within three years, the Yong'an Marquis Mansion will be destroyed!

Bitao had learned a few words from Bai Yaoyao before. After looking through the accounts, she couldn't help but be amazed.

She knew her young lady spent a lot, but she didn't expect her to spend so much.

Thirteen thousand taels!

All the money that Mingzhu Tower earned in half a year was spent by her in less than a month!

Bi Tao closed the account book and returned it to the accountant. She looked embarrassed and said, "I will report this to my young lady. Thank you for your help, sir."

The accountant had originally prepared the accounts in order to report the matter to the manager. As soon as Bitao left, he went to find the manager and showed him the account book.

The steward looked at the accounts and frowned so hard that he could kill a fly. "I will report this to the Marquis."

Marquis Yong'an had just plotted against the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, so he was in a good mood at the moment. When he heard the steward talk about the silver, he didn't care much.

"If you have no money left, go to the gambling house to get it. Don't ask me about these trivial matters in the future."

Since Marquis Yong'an said so, the steward had no choice but to go to the gambling house and withdraw one thousand taels of silver and put it on the account, and then have someone deliver the three thousand taels of silver that Bai Yaoyao wanted.

"Humph, it's just some silver. In the future, the world will belong to me and the prince. This little silver is nothing."

Bai Yaoyao sat in front of her dressing table, gesturing at various valuable red hairpins on her head, and looked at Bi Tao behind her through the bronze mirror, "Has Qiu Wanchun come to Beijing?"

"I'm already here, and I'm staying in the West City Villa."

"Have someone prepare the car. I'll go to Xicheng to meet Qiu Wanchun later."

Bai Yaoyao changed into a thick pink coat that had been tailor-made a few days ago. Bitao picked up a white fox fur cloak beside her and prepared to put it on her. Qiao Yanyan walked in carrying a food box.

She looked at Bai Yaoyao with a flattering expression, "Yaoyao, this is the black chicken soup I made early this morning, you try it."

Bai Yaoyao was a little hungry at the moment, so she raised her chin and said, "Just leave it there."

Qiao Yanyan was overjoyed and quickly took out the small white bowl of black chicken soup from the food box and placed it in front of her.

"I specially added red ginseng to replenish qi and blood. How do you like it?"

She served like a maid. Bai Yaoyao noticed the bruises on her wrist and raised her eyebrows. "This is what you get for being disloyal. Don't blame others."

"Don't dare, don't dare..."

Qiao Yanyan gathered her sleeves and shook her head repeatedly.

Her cheeks were sunken and her body was as thin as a paper man.

She took great pains to marry Bai Mulin, thinking that he would treat her well because of their past relationship, but she didn't know that he had no heart.

The beast Bai Mulin was even more cruel. Every night he would think of ways to torture her, making her life a living hell.

Bai Mulin listened to Bai Yaoyao in everything, so she could only try to please Bai Yaoyao, hoping that she would consider their relationship and ask Bai Mulin to treat her better.

The flattery she had been doing these days had some effect, and Bai Yaoyao's attitude towards her became better.

After drinking a few sips of chicken soup, Bai Yaoyao sat in the carriage and swayed westward.

In the Tonghua Courtyard, Bai Youyou was playing with a fourteen-year-old child.

Lu Huaizhen and Qiu Wanchun sat on the couch, each holding a black and white chess piece, and played chess on the board.

"Sister, do you think my chick is cute?"

The boy has fair skin, a chubby face, and a pair of eyes as black as obsidian. They are like the brightest stars in the deep night sky, flashing with lively light.

He held a skinny black and white kitten in his arms and showed it to Bai Youyou. "I found this in the alley today. I even fed it with goat milk."

The kitten nestled in the boy's arms, being gently stroked by him, and squinted its eyes comfortably.

"Young Master, please give the cat to me quickly. It's time for you to take a nap."

The little boy carefully handed the kitten in his arms to the maid, and said to her in a baby voice, "Be careful, this cat has been separated from its mother, it's so pitiful."

Qiu Wanchun, who was playing chess nearby, tilted his head and glanced over here, his eyes full of doting, "You, how many cats and dogs have you raised at home?"

"The Master said, do not refrain from doing good deeds because they are small, and do not commit bad deeds because they are small." The child put his hands behind his back and shook his head, "Do one good deed a day, and God will bless you."

The little kid's mischievous behavior made everyone in the room laugh.

"Go and rest quickly."

Qiu Wanchun ordered the maid to take him away.

Lu Huaizhen brought Bai Youyou to visit Qiu Wanchun today, mainly for the matter of food and fodder.

When Qiu Wanchun heard that they were going to buy food and fodder again, he was a little surprised. "It's only been a short time since you started buying rice in large quantities. Doesn't the imperial court allocate food and fodder?"

"You really got it right."

Bai Youyou looked disdainful. "The emperor sent a palace maid to deliver his order the other day, saying that people's livelihood was difficult and the treasury was empty, and asked the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to solve the problem on its own first."

"The soldiers are from the Great Zhou, not the retainers of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. The emperor's move is too..." shameless.

Qiu Wanchun didn't say anything after that, but Bai Youyou and Lu Huaizhen both knew what he meant.

As the three were talking, the maid who had led the child away earlier came running in with a pale face.
