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

Bai Youyou was getting anxious when she saw a man in a green cotton coat standing at the foot of the wall, looking up at her, with some scrolls in his hands.

Bai Youyou looked back and found that the green-clothed maid was walking towards her. She simply closed her eyes and jumped down.

"boom!"

The pain that Bai Youyou expected did not come, instead a muffled groan came from under her body.

She quickly got up and bent down to help the man who was kind enough to serve as a cushion for her.

"Brother, are you okay?"

"fine."

The scholar leaned against the wall, covered his waist, hissed, and waved at her.

Just seeing the calligraphy and paintings on the ground all stained with mud, for a moment, heartache and hopelessness appeared on his sallow face.

Bai Youyou looked at the scholar's malnourished face and knew that his family might be in financial difficulty.

Fortunately, there is still some unspent monthly salary in my purse.

She picked up the scrolls of calligraphy and paintings and held them in her arms, "Sir, no matter how much you pay for these calligraphy and paintings, I will buy them all."

"It's just a small favor, there's no need to do this, girl."

"All your calligraphy and paintings are useless and can't be sold."

In addition to the five taels of silver given by Lu, Bai Youyou stuffed all the change and copper coins in her purse into him.

"Don't refuse. Brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones all cost money. I don't know if this is enough. If it's not enough, give me your home address and I'll come to thank you in person later."

"Enough is enough."

The scholar looked at the handful of silver and copper coins in his arms, and a blush appeared on his sallow face. "These are enough, no need to thank me."

"That's good. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Bai Youyou was afraid that Bai Muchen would catch up with her, so she quickly left the alley with the pile of calligraphy and paintings.

The sun shines brightly in the sky.

The third floor of the treasure hunting building.

Half a quarter of an hour passed in a flash, and the shopkeeper had already ordered people to send the things out of the store, but Bai Youyou still hadn't come back.

Bai Muchen had a bad feeling in his heart, so he stood up and ran quickly towards the backyard.

"Fourth sister?"

"Fourth sister?"

He shouted loudly, and when he went to the backyard, there was only a brown bamboo ladder lying on the ground.

"Bai Youyou!"

At this moment, if he still doesn't realize that he has been fooled by Bai Youyou, he would be a fool!

Bai Muchen clenched his fists and roared Bai Youyou's name angrily, wishing he could drink her blood and eat her flesh.

The shopkeeper heard the noise and came over quickly, "Mr. Bai San, what happened?"

"nothing."

How could Bai Muchen have the nerve to say that he was fooled? The corners of his stiff lips curved into an arc.

Those things were originally chosen for myself in the name of giving them to my father, and I definitely cannot go back home to get the silver.

Now all he could do was to borrow some money from someone, and then make up the difference with the money earned from selling the set of four treasures of the study used by Zhuang Daju.

The shopkeeper was such a smart man that when he saw the bamboo ladder lying on the ground, he guessed it was almost right.

It was obvious that this young man tried to cheat others but ended up being cheated by others.

But he only cared about selling things, and the other things had nothing to do with him. He clasped his hands together and asked with a smile: "Sir, how do you think we should settle this bill?"

"I will not give you money on credit. Please come with me, boss."

Bai Muchen took the shopkeeper to the Must-Win Casino, which was only five miles away from the Treasure Hunting Tower, and found the manager there.

Hearing that he was the young master of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion, the steward lent him two thousand taels of silver without any hesitation.

Sign and seal in one go.

The two thousand silver notes were not yet in hand, and only one or two were left in his hand. Bai Muchen clenched the silver coins in his palm, and his teeth made a "crunching" sound when he bit them.

The shopkeeper took the banknote and his eyes narrowed into a line.

"Sir, would you like to go back and have some tea?"

"No need!"

Bai Muchen failed to steal the chicken today and lost the rice jar. He could no longer maintain the image of a noble young man and left in anger.

On the other side of the street in Beijing, Bai Youyou was running around in the alley holding a scroll of calligraphy and painting.

She was breathing heavily, somewhat speechless.

These alleys were winding and twisting like a maze, and she had been walking for more than an hour but still hadn't gotten out.

Just as she was about to ask someone for directions, she suddenly saw a familiar figure.

Bai Youyou quickly hid to the side, holding the calligraphy and painting in her arms higher to cover her face.

When he fell from the wall, his clothes were covered with mud and he looked very miserable.

When Bai Mulin and his personal servant Zhou Qi passed by her, he just glanced at her and left without looking back.

Bai Youyou breathed a sigh of relief and turned into the alley at the side.

"What is he doing here?"

She crouched down and looked quietly towards the place where Bai Mulin left.

He walked to a door, picked up the copper ring on the door and knocked on it gently.

Soon, a woman with a delicate and sweet face and a woman's hair combed in a woman's style opened the door. When she saw him, she immediately threw herself into his arms.

"I go!"

Bai Youyou's eyes widened and she cried out in surprise.

Her good brother is only seventeen years old now, and he has learned to keep a mistress before getting married?

Tsk tsk tsk——

Great news, great news!

After they closed the door, Bai Youyou hurried over.

"No. 28 Qingwu Lane."

She memorized the house number and immediately left happily, holding the calligraphy and paintings.

After asking an old woman, I finally got out of the maze-like green-tiled alleys.

People were coming and going on the street, white mist was rising from the steamers, and the hawkers' cries were heard one after another.

It was past noon, and Bai Youyou's stomach was filled with the empty city plan. He had no money except the five taels of silver given by Lu.

She stood beside the old man selling candied haws, looking at the big, red, plump candied haws, saliva constantly flowing in her mouth.

"Would you like a bunch, girl?"

The old man smiled kindly, stuck the bundle of grass on his shoulder into the ground, took a bunch from the target and handed it to her.

"No."

Bai Youyou shook her head and said, "I didn't bring any money today."

Just as she turned around, a pair of slender white fingers took the string of candied haws from the old man's hand and handed it to her, "Eat it."

Bai Youyou raised her eyes and was slightly stunned.

The person in front of him was tall, with his hair tied up with a jade crown, and a spring blue brocade robe with cloud patterns outlined with silver thread. He had a jade ring around his waist, and his eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and he was handsome and extraordinary.

Isn’t this the third prince Lu Lingye?

He is the legitimate son of the current queen and was met outside the capital not long ago. On the day when the monarch of Xunyang held a banquet, he proved his innocence.

Bai Youyou smiled and refused, "I appreciate the Third Prince's kindness—"

Before she could finish her words, Lu Lingye directly inserted the candied haws into the calligraphy and painting in her arms.

"Just now I saw you staring at the candied haws for a long time. Don't you want to eat some?"

Lu Lingye smiled, "It's just a bunch of candied haws, Miss Bai, don't take it to heart."

After saying that, he nodded slightly at her and walked straight past her.

The faint fragrance of plum blossoms wafted into the air. Bai Youyou turned around holding the calligraphy and painting, looked at his tall back, and blinked a few times.

In the book, the Third Prince was a man of both military and literary talents, but he lost to the Crown Prince in the battle for the throne and was eventually torn to pieces by a chariot.

He looks like a nice person.

Bai Youyou pursed her lips, unable to resist the temptation of the candied haws, so she freed one hand and pulled out the candied haws standing in front of her.

One bite and the sourness and sweetness instantly spread on the tip of your tongue.

Bai Youyou's sour facial features went their separate ways.

Emma!

"Ha ha ha ha--"
