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

"I was all alone, my head was missing, and I had a scar as big as a bowl. Eighteen years later, I am a brave man again."

Lu Huaizhen said indifferently, "If you are worried, we don't have to interact with each other in the future."

He was the late emperor's posthumous son. Not long after Li Cairen gave birth to him, the current emperor ordered all the concubines to accompany him in his burial, on the pretext that the late emperor had spoken to him in a dream. It was Li Cairen's wet nurse who raised him.

However, when he was thirteen years old, he showed his talent in the Imperial College and stole the crown prince's limelight. Then he was framed by the crown prince for stealing the relics of the late queen.

In order to protect him, the nanny took all the blame and was executed by the emperor. He was also charged with lax discipline and was punished with thirty strokes of the cane.

Afterwards, at the instruction of the prince, the palace servants changed their attitude and refused to even give him a sip of clean water.

He had been hungry for seven days, and he almost staggered out of the palace, dragging his festering body.

Fortunately, that day he met Lu Jialiu Lang who entered the palace with the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo. He gave him a piece of rice cake and later asked someone to secretly bring him a lot of wound medicine, which enabled him to survive.

It’s a pity that the Duke of Zhenguo doesn’t want to rebel. If he wanted to, he, Lu Huaizhen, would be the first to support him.

"I did not mean that."

Jiang Tingxiao laughed at himself, "You also know about the dirty things in my family. I wish my father would be dismissed from office and stripped of his title, and all of his family members would be implicated and buried with my mother!"

Lu Huaizhen looked at him sympathetically, picked up the teapot and poured half a cup of tea into his cup.

After all, he is a poor man.

The Weining Marquis's Mansion has not produced any useful talents in recent years, so it relies on inheriting the title to maintain its status.

Unfortunately, without power and influence, the only outcome is downfall.

In order to maintain the superficial splendor of the Earl's mansion, this generation of Earl Weining married the only daughter of the Hu family in Jiangnan.

The Hu family was a merchant family. When the daughter of the Hu family got married, she was dressed in a red wedding gown that stretched for thousands of miles and enjoyed a period of glory.

Earl Weining already had a beautiful woman in his heart, and marrying Hu was just a temporary solution. Less than a year after their marriage, he brought the beautiful woman into his house.

When Mrs. Hu learned the truth, she cried all day long and finally died of depression.

The current lady of the Earl's Mansion is the sweetheart of the Earl of Yongning. She gave birth to a son and a daughter. If it weren't for the conscience of the old lady of the Earl of Yongning's Mansion, the position of the crown prince would not have fallen to Jiang Tingxiao.

Since the old lady passed away last year, these people no longer concealed their covetousness, and all kinds of conspiracies and tricks emerged one after another.

In comparison, Lu Huaizhen felt that he was luckier than him.

After all, no one takes him, a man who could die at any time, seriously now, and no one is thinking about plotting against him every day.

Outside the cabin, the servant's voice came in: "Master, President Qiu is here."

The boat sank, and the oars cut through the calm lake surface. With a few soft "splashing" sounds, the boat drifted away from the shore.

The weather suddenly warmed up, and the snow melted silently among the weeds.

Bai Youyou returned home, and a moment later, Zhao Qianqian came walking quickly with a red and swollen face, looking happy.

Sitting in Bai Youyou's room, she proudly slammed the soap recipe she had just exchanged on the table.

"Future rich woman, keep it."

Bai Youyou picked up the thin paper and read through it roughly.

It was indeed a soap recipe, and even every step of the process was recorded in detail.

She raised her eyes to look at Zhao Qianqian, "Did you copy a copy?"

"You can't trust me?"

Zhao Qianqian's beautiful eyes widened, and she pouted and sat down on the chair, "I said I would give it to you, so I will give it to you. How could I do such a mean thing and copy it privately?"

"No, you misunderstood. I meant, do you want to copy this recipe?"

Bai Youyou knew she had misunderstood and quickly explained.

"No, my family regards money as dirt. We pride ourselves on being a family of a hundred years of integrity and will never be tainted by the smell of money."

There was clearly a hint of gritted teeth in Zhao Qianqian's words, and Bai Youyou couldn't help laughing.

"When I open a shop, I'll give you 20% of the profits."

"Don't give it to me. Use the money you earn to buy food and fodder for your grandfather."

Zhao Qianqian waved her hand and took an almond candied fruit and stuffed it into her mouth. The chewing action pulled her cheek, and she covered her face with her hands and hissed in pain.

She ate preserved fruit and said incoherently, "My father told me that the treasury is empty and the food and grass allocated by the court is not enough to support the hundreds of thousands of troops for three months. The weather is very cold this year. If there is an invasion from the border, I am afraid that many soldiers will die."

Bai Youyou lowered her eyes, looked at the soap recipe in her hand, and pursed her lips.

She vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a description of this plot in the book, but it was only mentioned in a few brief strokes.

She was a little helpless.

I know there is nothing I can do now to help them overcome their difficulties.

Zhao Qianqian stood up and patted her on the shoulder. "Hurry up and try it. If you succeed, remember to give me a few dollars. I will help you to promote it in the circle of noble ladies."

Bai Youyou was amused by her words, "Okay, I'll give it all to you after the first batch is out."

"Then I'll go back. I ran away secretly this time. If my mother knew about it, she would probably start to lecture me on the virtues and precepts of women."

Zhao Qianqian came and left in a hurry.

Bai Youyou looked at the things needed on the table and immediately asked Xiaoju to prepare them quietly.

There is a small kitchen in the Lu family's yard, but it has never been used. It may come in handy this time.

In the afternoon, Bai Yanlang came back early with Jufulou's signature pastry, the lotus cake, in his hand.

He smiled widely, "Youyou, look what daddy brought you."

Bai Youyou glanced at it with a sidelong glance, and said indifferently: "Is this the weasel wishing the chicken a happy new year?"

Bai Yanlang choked and the expression on his face almost broke.

"What are you talking about?" He smiled, licked his face, sat on the chair, and put the cakes in his hand on the table. "Dad reflected on it today and realized that I was partial to your sister and neglected you. Dad has learned from the pain and decided to make it up to you in the future."

"Oh, I'll wait and see."

Bai Youyou's tone remained calm.

Yesterday he called her a troublemaker, and today she came to his house with cakes to confess her guilt. Everyone knew there must be something fishy going on.

"Dad really wants to make it up to you." Bai Yanlang said sincerely, "From now on, Dad will definitely treat you and your sister equally."

"really?"

Bai Youyou looked suspicious.

"Of course, when has Dad ever lied to you?"

Bai Yanlang laughed, but Bai Youyou secretly curled her lips.

When has he ever lied? He has never told the truth to the original owner.

"Since you said you would treat everyone equally, then since you gave Fifth Sister a clothing store before, do you have to give me one now?"

Bai Yanlang: "......"

He was slightly startled.

How come this troublemaker even knows about this?

He touched his nose awkwardly, "Well, Dad doesn't have much private property, and I only have one clothing store. If you want a clothing store, I'll open one for you when I have enough money."
