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

Just when he needed money, Marquis Yong'an had to gather all the money in the shop.

He flipped through the account book and his face suddenly darkened. "This Mingzhu Restaurant has been open for more than a year and business has been booming. Why is there not a single ounce of silver in the account and there are still so many debts?"

The manager also looked helpless. "Miss Bai was in charge of the shop before. She would withdraw money from the account every now and then. The money earned from the shop was not enough to cover the expenses. Later, I came here once, and you said that the money was not enough and asked me to go to the gambling house to withdraw money. In total, Miss Bai has withdrawn a total of 60,000 to 70,000 taels. Not only that, Mingzhu Tower still has many external accounts that have not been settled."

Upon hearing this, Marquis Yong'an's face turned green.

All in all, Bai Yaoyao has only been managing the shop for more than half a year.

She had spent so much money in just half a year. If she had not entered the palace, wouldn't she have emptied her family's assets?

He slammed the account book shut and said angrily, "From now on, if Bai Yaoyao asks anyone to withdraw money from the shop again, it will not be allowed!"

"Then, Lord, what should we do with the debt?"

The steward bent his body and looked at the Marquis of Yong'an, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Those merchants have sent people here many times, and he has delayed for a long time. If he delays any further, those people will probably come to the Marquis' Mansion to make trouble.

"Let them wait until March!"

Yong'an Hou threw the account book at him with a sullen face, "But it's just this little bit of silver, how can I miss them?"

The manager didn't get the money and could only leave with the account book.

Marquis Yong'an was furious, his chest heaving violently.

Just as he calmed down, Zhu San walked in quickly and handed him what he had found. "Marquis Yong'an, this is the information he found. Your Highness asked me to give it to you."

Marquis Yong'an took it and after reading the contents carefully, he couldn't help but frown.

“Is that all?” He took another close look, frowning, “Based on this, it seems that Bai Youyou didn’t kill the man.”

Zhu San looked at him and said meaningfully: "Not everything in this world is black and white. Whether this man was killed by Bai Youyou depends on you, Lord Hou."

It's just making something up out of nothing, which is something Marquis Yong'an often does. However, his opponent is the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, which forces him to be more cautious.

"Have you found the person named Qiao Bing mentioned in the confession?"

This person is of vital importance. If Qiao Bing confesses his guilt and then puts the blame on Bai Youyou, he will find a way to get some evidence and make sure she will have no way to defend herself!

Zhu San shook his head. "When we sent people to look for him, the place was empty and we still don't know where he is now."

He is the prince's personal bodyguard and has other things to do, so he cannot run around outside every day. It is more convenient for Yong'an Marquis to handle these things outside the palace.

"It must be that the Yongning Marquis's Mansion alerted the enemy, causing the people in the Zhenguo Mansion to discover him and hide him in advance. What a bunch of people who are always causing trouble but not being able to do anything good!" Yong'an Marquis cursed and asked, "Where is Li Wenchang?"

Zhu San looked a little strange, "That Li Wenchang is the fiancé that Master Qin has chosen for Miss Qin."

"It's really him?!"

Zhu San nodded slightly.

Not only Marquis Yong'an and the Crown Prince were surprised, he was also shocked for half a day when he found out.

Yong'an Hou's face immediately blossomed, "Since he is the grandson-in-law of Master Qin, then everything will be easy! As long as he insists that Bai Youyou killed his father, we can get some evidence and the matter will be settled!"

He was happy here, but in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, the old lady pursed her lips and looked worried.

Bai Youyou was not sure whether Li Xiucai would stand on the side of the prince to frame her. After all, he was now the son-in-law of Master Qin.

The old lady asked, "Is Qiao Bing settled down?"

"I'll have someone arrange for him to stay in Zaozhuang. The prince's men won't be able to find him there for a while."

After Bai Youyou returned from the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, she immediately ordered someone to secretly bring Qiao Bing and his wife out, and then sent them to Zaozhuang after disguising them.

"The Third Prince's people are investigating Jiang Hui's matter, and this matter may also involve you."

Things happened one after another, and the old lady couldn't help but worry.

Thinking of what happened at Ramadan Villa, Bai Youyou's face suddenly turned pale, and his hands under his sleeves trembled unconsciously.

"I know, but I'm not afraid!"

There was a slight tremor in her voice as she spoke. The old lady walked over and hugged her, gently patting her on the back. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. With your grandfather here, no one can bully you."

If it really comes to the last step, they don’t mind having someone else sit in that position!

Bai Youyou smelled the faint plum fragrance on her body, and the uneasy feeling in her heart slowly subsided.

As the atmosphere became warm, the butler walked over quickly and said, "Young lady, the Third Prince sent someone to ask you to come over. He said he has something important to tell you."

The old lady frowned slightly.

The Third Prince would send people to ask You You to leave every now and then using this matter as an excuse. Everyone knew what Sima Zhao was thinking.

Bai Youyou was also unhappy, but in order to find out about her fifth cousin, she had no choice but to obey.

"Grandma, I'll come over for a while."

"Take Lu San with you."

The old lady was worried that the Third Prince would be shameless and do something dirty, so she warned him, "The Third Prince is not a good man, don't be fooled by him."

"You're worrying too much."

Bai Youyou looked at her brows which were even more furrowed than before, and smiled with a curved lip.

Most people are visual animals, and their worldview is determined by their senses. She is no exception. However, she is surrounded by handsome people, and seeing too many of them will cause her visual fatigue.

She packed up briefly and took Lu Qi and Lu San to the Third Prince's Mansion.

Zhao Zhong had been waiting at the door early. When he saw her coming, he respectfully took her to the back garden.

The breeze was blowing gently, and the sunlight was shining through the gaps between the leaves, casting mottled shadows.

The third prince was sitting on a stone bench in the pavilion. He was wearing a moon-white brocade robe, and his posture was upright and elegant.

He stretched out his slender fingers and skillfully fiddled with the tea set on the table. Every movement was smooth, calm and elegant.

The lavender gauze curtains around the pavilion were blown up by the breeze. Looking from a distance, only the vague figures of people in the pavilion could be seen.

Bai Youyou lifted the veil and walked in, and what she saw was the third prince's sharp profile.

With a high nose bridge, a beautifully lined chin, and the noble temperament that only a person in a high position possesses, Lu Lingye is indeed very attractive.

However, compared with Lu Huaizhen, it is still a little bit worse.

"Your Highness."

"coming?"

The Third Prince seemed to have just seen her coming, and his usual gentle smile immediately appeared on his face, "Come and sit down, I made some tea, please try it."

If you ask someone for something, you will be controlled by them. Bai Youyou walked to the stone bench opposite him and sat down, then picked up the tea he placed in front of her and took a sip.

"Third Prince, there are still things to deal with in the mansion."

"You must sharpen your knife before chopping wood. Just be patient. Today's news will surely be what you wish for."
