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

He only has one million taels of private property to his name, he can't give it all away.

After thinking it over again and again, the prince knew that if he wanted to solve his current problem, he had no choice but to use that sum of money.

He called Zhu San and said, "Go to Yucheng in person and find your uncle. Ask him to bring the silver back to the capital secretly."

"Your Highness, that silver is not--"

The prince raised his hand to interrupt Zhu San, "For now, we can only use the money to solve the urgent need. After this matter is resolved, I will find a way to raise more money."

Zhu San disguised himself and left the city gate under the cover of night.

The prince suffered heavy losses in his original price war, and now Yunnifang is engaging in a price war, causing those merchants who run Zhennifang to complain bitterly.

However, in just one month, most of the businesses were closed, and only a few were still struggling.

The village started to speed up the production of soap beans again. Those who were worried every day were so tired that they could not straighten their backs, but the smiles on their faces did not diminish at all.

Today is Bai Youyou's coming-of-age ceremony, and everyone in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion is beaming with smiles.

"Be careful, don't make any mistakes."

"Put everything away."

They did not invite any officials from the court, but only their relatives and close friends.

Lu was combing Bai Youyou's hair and looking at the pretty little face in the bronze mirror that looked 70% like her own. Her expression was so gentle that it could condense water.

"After today, you will be an adult."

Bai Youyou gently held Lu's hand and said obediently, "Mom, you have worked hard these days."

"I'm happy to take care of it for you."

At this moment, there was a noise outside.

"Youyou, Youyou, here we come."

Bai Yanmei and Li's group walked in with Bai Zhenzhen and Huang Shanshan.

Bai Yanmei had a smile on her face and was saying auspicious words, but her eyes kept looking at the layout of the yard.

Lu's face was not looking good. She was about to kick him out, but Yang Momo grabbed her sleeve and whispered, "Miss, today is the young lady's coming-of-age ceremony. Don't let irrelevant people ruin her mood."

Lu snorted, but still resisted the urge to curse.

Bai Yanmei and others entered the house. When Bai Zhenzhen saw Bai Youyou, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.

"It's been such a short time since we last met, I don't even recognize Sister Youyou anymore."

Huang Shanshan took the brocade box from the maid and stepped forward, "Today is your coming-of-age ceremony. I made this by hand based on the pattern I drew. I hope you like it."

Huang Shanshan is Bai Yanmei's daughter, but her personality is completely different from Bai Yanmei's. She has watery almond eyes, a gentle smile, and a soft voice, which easily makes people like her.

Bai Youyou took it and thanked him politely: "Thank you."

Seeing this, Bai Zhenzhen was not willing to be outdone, and hurriedly took out the gift she had prepared, "Sister Youyou, this is the jade hairpin I carefully selected, I wish you a happy marriage."

Bai Youyou accepted it with a smile.

At this time, the housekeeper hurried in and whispered a few words in Lu's ear.

Lu frowned and said to Yang Momo beside her, "Mammy, please watch over her and don't let Youyou get bullied. I'll go out and take care of things."

Bai Yanmei took advantage of Lu's absence and stepped forward to look at Bai Youyou flatteringly, "Youyou, I heard that Liuli Pavilion is also yours, do you think it is possible..."

Before Bai Youyou could answer, Huang Shanshan pulled Bai Yanmei's sleeve and gently advised, "Mother, today is a good day for sister Youyou."

Bai Youyou glanced at Bai Yanmei indifferently, with a hint of sneer in her eyes.

I knew they wouldn't come here for no reason.

Bai Zhenzhen couldn't stay in the house, so she pulled Huang Shanshan outside and said, "Let's go to the front yard and take a look."

Qi Yue will definitely come to Bai Youyou's coming-of-age ceremony, so she has to find a way to get him to marry her today.

It's not possible to do it openly. If he tarnishes his innocence, he can't just ignore the responsibility, right?

As soon as she and Huang Shanshan went out, Bai Yanmei followed them out. She pulled Huang Shanshan aside and whispered to her, "Do you remember what I told you before? The Bai Youyou siblings are no longer the same as they were before. If you marry into our family, Yun Ni Fang and Liu Li Pavilion will be yours, and you will enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future!"

Huang Shanshan smiled and patted the back of Bai Yanmei's hand, "Mom, I know."

"Mom knows you're a sensible person. Go ahead."

Huang Shanshan and Bai Zhenzhen walked towards the front yard side by side.

She agreed with her mother, but she didn't agree with her mother's actions. She was also jealous of Yun Ni Fang and Liu Li Pavilion, but she didn't like Bai Luochuan's personality.

But her mother was right about one thing. The Marquis's Mansion had fallen from power, and with her status, she couldn't marry into a wealthy family. It would be better for her to marry Bai Luochuan.

At least with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, his future will not be a problem. He needs money to live, and with Yunnifang and Liulige, he can live a happy life.

Bai Zhenzhen looked everywhere for Qi Yue but couldn't find her. Just as she was getting frustrated, she suddenly saw Qi Yue walking towards her from the front hall.

She quickly straightened her clothes and pretended to approach casually.

"Master Qi, what a coincidence."

Qi Yue nodded slightly in response.

Bai Zhenzhen wanted to say something else when she saw the Third Prince and Bai Luochuan coming over here.

When Huang Shanshan saw the third prince, she pursed her lips and revealed a faint smile.

Her eyes are like autumn water, her eyebrows are like distant ink, and today she is wearing a light pink dress, which makes her look more beautiful than flowers.

Bai Luochuan spoke first: "Sister Zhenzhen, cousin Shanshan."

"Third Prince."

Everyone bowed politely.

The Third Prince looked at them, his gaze lingered on Huang Shanshan for a moment, and then he smiled and said, "Today is the coming of age of Miss Bai, and I have come to congratulate her."

"Third Prince, I'll take you to the front yard."

Bai Luochuan and Qi Yue didn't notice what had happened to him just now. They surrounded him and walked towards the front hall.

Bai Zhenzhen followed shamelessly. Huang Shanshan smiled and followed behind her.

Today, the Lu family invited Madam Kong to perform the hairpin ceremony for Bai Youyou.

Old Madam Kong specially wore new clothes today. She walked forward with a smile and looked at Bai Youyou with loving eyes.

"After today, you will be an adult."

Old Madam Kong picked up the exquisite hairpin and slowly inserted it into Bai Youyou's hair bun, muttering something and blessing Bai Youyou.

After the hairpin ceremony, everyone presented their gifts.

The Third Prince looked at Bai Youyou, who was wearing a gorgeous red dress, and smiled at Bai Luochuan nonchalantly, saying, "Miss Bai has reached the age of marriage now, so I'm sure there will be many people who want to marry her."

Even if Bai Luochuan was dumb, he could still understand the meaning of the words. He replied respectfully, "My little sister is still young, there is no rush."

Qi Yue listened silently beside him, his brows slightly furrowed.

The third prince is thinking about Youyou, but he is probably just dreaming!

Huang Shanshan stood upright aside, her eyes casually watching the actions of the Third Prince.

When she heard him intentionally mention Bai Youyou's marriage, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.

If I could gain the favor of the Third Prince, it would be much better than marrying Bai Luochuan.

However, she did not forget what her mother said, and said to Bai Luochuan with a gentle smile: "Cousin Youyou has really grown into a beautiful girl with a charming demeanor."
