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

When Xiaoju saw her, he started crying.

"Miss, you are finally back."

Bai Youyou stuffed the calligraphy and painting in her arms into her arms and said, "Don't cry, put these things away."

Mrs. Lu also rushed out of the house with an anxious look on her face, holding her hand, her eyes red, "How did it become like this? Are you hurt?"

"Prince Xian and the Prince of Weining's Mansion accidentally startled this girl when they were riding," Li said with a smile, "She must have been frightened. Second sister-in-law, have someone make her some tranquilizing soup tonight to calm her down, so she doesn't have nightmares at night."

Seeing that Bai Youyou was indeed fine, Lu felt relieved.

A grateful smile appeared on her face, "Sister-in-law, please come in and have a cup of tea."

"No, I don't know if Prince Xian and Prince Jiang have left. I have to go back and take a look."

Li said a few polite words and left with her maid.

Lu hurriedly asked someone to boil some hot water, and ordered her maid to make some soothing soup.

"You haven't come back for a long time. I almost scared my mother to death."

"I have Lu Qi... by my side."

Bai Youyou suddenly remembered that he had such a skilled secret guard by his side, and slapped his forehead.

With her here, why should I jump over the wall? She can carry me and we can come down in no time, right?

There is a mountain of gold in front of us, but we don't know how to make use of it.

Xiao Ju put away the calligraphy and paintings, and asked excitedly, "Miss, you ran away, is the Third Young Master detained there?"

Bai Youyou didn't know whether Bai Muchen was detained there, but when she left, Bai Muchen had already asked someone to send the things back to the mansion.

She instructed Xiaoju, "Send someone to secretly inquire and see if the people from the Treasure Hunting Building have delivered the items."

"it is good."

Xiaoju went out excitedly.

When Xiaoju came back earlier, she told him the whole story. Mrs. Lu gritted her teeth and cursed, "How dare this black-hearted, black-lung, black-hearted thing lie to you like this!"

If my daughter really fell into his trap, she would probably have to sell her dowry to raise two thousand taels of silver.

"Don't be angry, mom. He shot himself in the foot this time. He suffered a great loss."

"Fortunately, my son is smart."

Bai Youyou said something to comfort her casually, and Lu calmed down. She grinned, "Two thousand taels, that bitch is bleeding heavily this time!"

The old woman boiled the water, and Bai Youyou hurried back to her yard and washed herself.

Xiaoju also came back with the news happily and reported: "Miss, the things have been delivered and are all in the Third Young Master's room."

"Have the people from the Treasure Hunting House come to collect the money?"

"No." Xiaoju wiped her hair with a handkerchief, a little confused, "I bought something but didn't pay for it. Does Xunbaolou still give credit?"

Bai Youyou didn't know that since the people from Xunbaolou didn't come to collect the bill, could it be that Bai Muchen paid the bill himself?

In this era when a string of candied haws cost two copper coins and a steamed bun only cost two cents, two thousand taels of silver was a huge sum of money.

Bai Youyou thought it was impossible.

He had previously spent more than one thousand taels of silver to buy the set of four treasures of the study. It was impossible for Aunt Qiao and Bai Yanlang to give him more than three thousand taels of silver.

unless--

Bai Youyou narrowed her eyes slightly and had a guess in her mind.

After taking a hot bath and having a hearty meal, Bai Youyou saw that the sun was shining brightly today, so she asked the maid to move a rocking chair under the eaves.

The sun was setting. She had just laid down when Zhao Qianqian came into her yard with her maid, carrying a gift box.

"long!"

Bai Youyou took off the notebook covering her face, sat up straight, looked at her happy face, and said jokingly with a smile: "Happy things make people feel refreshed. Miss Zhao, is this your wish come true?"

"Hey, stop teasing me."

Zhao Qianqian punched her arm with her little fist and took the brocade box held by the maid behind her, "This is for you."

Bai Youyou took it and found a plum blossom hairpin carved from white jade inside.

"What is this for?"

She closed the lid and pushed it back, "I haven't thanked you for Mo Da Ru's invitation last time. You are too polite."

"Keep it. If you are too poor to afford food in the future, you can pawn it for silver."

Zhao Qianqian confiscated it and sat down on the round wooden stool that Xiaoju brought over.

"Can't you just hope for me?"

Bai Youyou rolled her eyes at her, handed the thing to Xiaoju, and asked her to keep it.

"I naturally hope that you live a long life and everything goes well."

When Zhao Qianqian thought about the fate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, she felt very sorry for it, but she had no ability to change this destined outcome.

She said with compassion, "You should just eat and drink, and don't take things to heart."

"You talk like I won't live for more than a few days."

Bai Youyou rolled her eyes speechlessly.

"Let's not talk about this." Zhao Qianqian moved her butt and moved closer to her. "I made an appointment with Xiao Huaijin to go to Shennv Lake in the suburbs of Beijing the day after tomorrow."

"Are you going to jump into the lake?" Bai Youyou was surprised. "It's winter now, don't try too hard. If you die, all the efforts you made before will be in vain."

"I'm not that upset. The main thing is that there are only a few people there, so it won't do much harm to your reputation."

"You still have some conscience."

Zhao Qianqian took her hand and put it on her face. "Look, is my skin softer?"

Bai Youyou touched her soft cheek, and suddenly changed from kneading to pinching, "It's indeed tender."

"Ouch, it hurts, it hurts..."

Zhao Qianqian slapped her hand away, covered her cheek, and hissed, "I have been taking care of myself for quite some time. If I get slapped, my face will be red and swollen."

Bai Youyou couldn't help laughing, stretched, and hummed comfortably.

Xiaoju brought fruits and cakes over and placed them on the small table. He bent down and whispered in her ear, "Miss, the Third Young Master is here."

"If you have something to do, I'll go back first."

Zhao Qianqian tactfully stood up and left with her maid. When she reached the lotus archway, she ran into Bai Muchen who was coming angrily.

When he saw Zhao Qianqian, he was stunned for a moment, then he concealed the expression in his eyes, smiled gently and called out "Miss Zhao".

Zhao Qianqian just nodded to him politely and walked past him.

Her attitude was too distant, and Bai Muchen's face turned gloomy.

He stood there looking at Zhao Qianqian's slender back. After thinking for a while, his eyes moved.

After a while, he walked into the yard.

Seeing Bai Youyou lying on the recliner, eating oranges leisurely, he suddenly became furious.

He suppressed his anger and pulled a gentle smile from the corner of his lips, "Fourth sister."

"Third brother."

Bai Youyou glanced at him, without even getting up, she tapped the ground with her toes and the rocking chair immediately started rocking.

Bai Muchen felt even angrier at being neglected, but thinking that he still had to coax her into handing over the money, he became even gentler in his attitude.

"Fourth sister, the things you bought at the Treasure Hunting House have arrived. Please give me the money quickly so that I can settle the bill."

"Third brother, I don't have any money."

"Go get it from your mother."

"I looked for it, but my mother wouldn't give it to me."

"Bai Youyou!"

"What?"

"You damn girl, how dare you lie to me!"

Lu's courtyard was not far from here. Bai Muchen didn't dare to speak too loudly and glared at her with gritted teeth.
