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

Lu Chaorui looked at her pretending and curled her lips in disdain.

In the past, you didn’t even give them any of the cakes, fruits, and toys for the children that you brought from other places. Why are you pretending to be such a close aunt and nephew now?

Bai Yanmei stretched her neck like a giraffe, and finally, a tall and upright figure came into view.

"Ouch, here it comes!"

Bai Yanmei stood up excitedly and walked towards the door, shouting from afar: "Luochuan."

Bai Luochuan was stunned for a moment when he saw her excited and enthusiastic expression.

This aunt has never been kind to him and his sister since they were young. Did she take the wrong medicine today?

He walked slowly to her and called her "Aunt" softly.

"Hey!"

Bai Yanmei's mouth was almost stretched to her ears. She pulled Bai Luochuan's arm and looked him up and down, exclaiming in amazement, "It's only been over a year since we last met, and Luochuan has grown into such a handsome man!"

Bai Luochuan was not happy about her flattery, but felt a little embarrassed.

Bai Jingting, who was standing next to Lu Chaorui, sneered softly. Old Mrs. Qiao heard it and tilted her head to glance at him indifferently.

Lu Chaorui was so frightened that her breathing stopped and she quickly reached out and tugged at her son's sleeve.

She lowered her voice and said, "Things are different now, don't cause trouble."

Bai Jingting is fifteen now, the same age as Bai Youyou. He has the same facial features as Lu Chaorui, with a pointed face and big eyes, and a boyish look.

He had a gloomy face and clenched his hands into fists.

In the past, he was the young master who was flattered by everyone in the mansion. But now, because of the affairs of his grandfather and biological father, he has lost his backing, and his path to study and become an official has been completely cut off. These people no longer take him seriously!

After listening to Bai Yanmei's nice words that she didn't want money, Bai Luochuan walked awkwardly to Old Mrs. Qiao and bowed.

"grandmother."

"sit down."

Bai Yanmei chased after Bai Luochuan and chattered, "Luochuan, you're here. Where's Youyou? Did she go to your father's place?"

"My sister has something to do today."

Bai Luochuan couldn't bear her fiery passion and pulled the corners of his mouth dryly.

Mrs. Qiao's face, which had been quite gentle to begin with, suddenly darkened. "What could possibly happen to her on New Year's Day?"

"My sister went to the shop. The shop is a bit busy today."

Bai Luochuan is not good at lying. His eyes wander around when he speaks and his words are a little evasive.

How could Old Mrs. Qiao not see that he was trying to make excuses for Bai Youyou? She said as a matter of course: "Since the shop is busy, let her come back tomorrow."

Bai Luochuan didn't know how to refuse, so he could only respond in a low voice.

"Things have their priorities. We should focus on the business in the shop first." Bai Yanmei sat down on the chair beside him and looked at him with a smile. "The business of Yun Ni Fang is so prosperous. You You must have made a lot of money, right?"

"My mother and sister told me to just focus on my studies. I don't know anything about the shop."

Bai Luochuan met Bai Yanmei's shrewd eyes and felt a little alert.

It turned out to be because of Yun Nifang. No wonder she changed her attitude towards him today.

"My child, Youyou will eventually get married, so you will have to take over Yunnifang in the future."

Bai Yanmei scolded, "You are now living in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. You have to keep an eye on the money earned from this shop. Don't give it all to your grandfather's family."

"The shop is my sister's private property. The money she earns also belongs to her. It's her business how she wants to spend it. I have no right to interfere."

Bai Luochuan frowned slightly, his eyes showing displeasure.

He is a man and now relies entirely on his sister and mother. How can he seize his sister's private property for his own selfish reasons?

Besides, he has seen clearly these days that, apart from his sister and mother, the only people who are truly good to him are his grandparents.

These people have always valued profit over affection. If it weren't for Yun Nifang, they probably wouldn't have treated me well today.

Old Mrs. Qiao raised her eyelids and squinted at Bai Yanmei, her tone carrying a hint of sharpness, "The shop is long-lasting, how can it possibly be lost to her brother in the future? Don't worry about it!"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Bai Luochuan again, "We are all family. Your aunt and your third aunt also want to go to Yun Ni Fang. Go back and tell You You."

"grandmother......"

Bai Luochuan looked embarrassed, "My sister is in charge of the shop, I can't make the decision."

"You are her brother, why can't you make the decision?"

Bai Yanmei held his hand with an anxious look, "She has done it for someone from another family. We should give this benefit to our own family members!"

The more she spoke, the more annoyed she became. "This kid, why doesn't he think about his family when there's such a great opportunity? He's always trying to be ungrateful!"

Bai Luochuan pulled his hand out, his face turned cold, "My sister's things, she can do whatever she wants with them, it's not up to others to interfere!"

He has always spoken in a timid manner, but today is the first time he has been so firm.

Everyone in the room was shocked by him, and Bai Yanmei even opened her mouth, unable to recover for a long time.

Bai Luochuan stood up and said, "Grandma, my father's grandson left before he could pay his respects to him."

Everyone's eyes followed his back at the same time, and Bai Yanmei started to scream only after he left the gate of Songtao Garden.

"What kind of attitude is this bastard?"

"All right!"

Old Mrs. Qiao clenched the jade bracelet in her hand and shouted angrily.

Bai Yanmei's heart was heaving violently, and she was still cursing, "This little beast has grown wings now, and even dares to turn his face away from you. He really has no manners at all!"

Old Mrs. Qiao glared at her fiercely, "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"

The matter of Songtaoyuan was quickly reported to Li by Nanny Qian.

Bai Qingyu raised his lips and glanced at her, "Well, am I wrong?"

"Okay, okay, you're brilliant!"

Li glared at him angrily, "Old Qiao couldn't control Luochuan, so I think it's a bit risky for the second son to convince Youyou."

"I don't know how to be stubborn, but I still have the ability to make trouble."

There was a chessboard on the table, and Bai Qingyu was playing chess with himself.

In the past, the Yongning Marquis Mansion was very lively during the New Year, but this year it was deserted, with not even a single visitor.

He was in a bad mood these days and threw the chess piece in his hand irritably. "You keep watch. I'll go for a walk in the yard."

As he walked, he turned towards the second room.

In Bai Yanlang's study, Bai Mulin saw Bai Luochuan and his expression was a little unnatural.

The last time he was ridiculed in public was still fresh in Bai Luochuan's mind, and of course, Bai Luochuan hadn't forgotten it either.

With a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, he deliberately said, "The imperial court has reopened the imperial examination. With big brother's ability, I think he will be able to pass the imperial examination again this time."

Bai Mulin smiled awkwardly, "Brother, I'm going to lend you my good wishes."

Bai Yanlang was still worried about Bai Yaoyao's affairs today, and he didn't look happy when he saw Bai Luochuan coming.
