The relationship fell out, and Li didn't care about her status and vented all her resentment in one breath.

She looked at Lu Zhaorui, who had a gloomy look in her eyes, and said, "And you, the third branch, didn't care about us when you were in power, and now you are still staying in the mansion after causing a huge disaster! If it weren't for you, our mansion would not be in this state!"

"Sister-in-law, how can you say that?"

Lu Chaorui bit her lip and her eyes instantly turned red.

"Stop crying here, it's bad luck during the New Year!"

Li rolled her eyes at her with disdain. Regardless of whether Bai Yanlang and the others were willing or not, she directly ordered Aunt Qian beside her, "Take the people to help them pack up their things. Clean them up and let the young masters in the mansion live there."

The Yongning Marquis Mansion was not big to begin with, and now with four generations living in it, it was becoming even more constricted.

She had wanted to drive them out of the house for a long time. Now that she had finally got her wish, Li wanted to kick them out immediately.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Bai Qingyu separated the second and third rooms. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Bai Yanmei came with her family.

Li looked at the few worthless cakes and fruits she brought with her, and said with a fake smile, "Big sister, my second brother and I have already separated. From now on, no matter what the New Year is, you should not come here."

"What? Split up the family?!"

Bai Yanmei stared with disbelief, "Sister-in-law, you are not joking, are you?"

She went to the place where her husband worked these days and just came back the day before yesterday, but she was fine the day before yesterday. Why did they separate today?

"You think I'm kidding you?"

"Sister-in-law..."

Seeing that Li didn't seem to be joking, Bai Yanmei's expression suddenly changed. The expressions of Huang Shanshan and Huang Jiayuan, brother and sister beside her, were as ugly as if they had swallowed a fly.

Huang Shanshan tugged at Bai Yanmei's sleeve and said, "Mom, let's go find grandma first."

"They are in the house in the south of the city, you know."

Li didn't want them to be an eyesore, so she told them where Bai Yanlang and his family lived now.

Bai Yanmei left with a pale face and her two children.

Bai Youyou learned about the division of the Yongning Marquisate from the news brought back by Bai Luochuan.

Bai Youyou leaned lazily in the rocking chair. She was not surprised at all about this.

Those people are only interested in profit. Now that the second and third wives are of no use, the first wife will naturally use the old Qiao's handle to separate them out.

If it weren’t for Bai Yaoyao, they would have been swept out last year.

Xiaoju brought her milk tea and gave her a newly bought notebook, serving her very attentively.

Bai Youyou thought that the division of the Yongning Marquis Mansion was none of her business, but she didn't expect that on the third day of the junior high school, Bai Yanlang and Bai Yanmei brought brother and sister Huang Shanshan to visit.

Bai Luochuan came to meet the person, so the doorman had no choice but to let him in.

When Bai Youyou saw them, her brows were twisted into knots.

"My girl..."

Before Bai Yanlang could go forward to curry favor, he was seen by Lu who came over. She shouted, "Why are you coming to my daughter again?"

Lu came over quickly, standing in front of Bai Youyou to protect her, and looked at Bai Yanlang and his sister warily, "I'm telling you, stop pestering my daughter!"

"You're talking about this, isn't this also my daughter?"

Bai Yanlang still remembered the food but not the punishment, and shamelessly tried to get close to Bai Youyou, "This is a bracelet and jade pendant made of ice-extracted material that I specially asked someone to find. The jade pendant was given to your brother, and this bracelet is for you."

A jade bracelet made of ice-extracted material was forced into Bai Youyou's hand. She lowered her head to take a look at the bracelet which looked like a distant mountain in the mist.

This jade bracelet is not cheap, it is worth at least one thousand taels of silver. It is surprising that he is so generous this time.

Bai Yanmei smiled and echoed, "Youyou, this is the ice extract that your father spent a lot of money to buy from someone."

"Who wants his things?"

Lu was naturally considerate, but she had no shortage of money, let alone jewelry.

"No one comes to visit you for no reason. I don't know what you are thinking!" She snorted coldly, "Hurry up and leave. If you don't leave, do you want me to slap the letter of severance you wrote in your own hand on your face?"

Bai Luochuan on the side wanted to open his mouth to say something, but was glared at by Lu, "And you! I don't care if you associate with them, but your sister has severed ties with them, so don't bring them to your sister to cause trouble!"

"mother!"

Lu showed no mercy at all, causing Bai Luochuan to blush with embarrassment.

"Hurry up and leave! If you piss me off, I'll have everyone thrown out!"

Lu was really capable of doing this. Huang Shanshan was afraid of being embarrassed, so she quickly pulled Bai Yanmei's sleeve and said, "Second uncle, mother, let's go back first."

Bai Yanlang spent the money but didn't get a good look in return. Standing outside the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, he had a worried look on his face.

"The ice is three feet thick and it didn't freeze overnight. Second uncle, Youyou is not a hard-hearted person. If you treat her with sincerity in the future, she will definitely be able to feel your kindness."

Huang Shanshan's considerate words made Bai Yanlang feel warm in his heart. He sighed heavily, "If only Youyou were half as sensible as you."

After hitting a wall here, other friends and relatives who knew his situation also avoided them like the plague.

In the palace, the third prince paid his respects to the emperor as usual.

Eunuch Li at the side took out the elixir and was helping the emperor take it.

After taking the medicine, the emperor felt much more energetic.

"If there is nothing else, you can leave."

The third prince bowed respectfully and left.

The emperor watched his back disappear into the bedroom, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Do you think the third brother really doesn't blame me in his heart?"

Eunuch Li stood aside and said with a smile: "Thunder and rain are all grace from the emperor, and you are the emperor and the father. Prince Rui has always been filial to you, so how could he have any resentment in his heart?"

The emperor raised his eyelids and glanced at him sideways, "You are very eloquent."

Having said that, he was obviously in a much better mood.

"As long as he behaves himself, I will make him live a life of wealth and glory."

The incident involving the prince left him with lingering fears.

He sent people to investigate, and found out that the prince was originally planning to mobilize the border troops to force the emperor to abdicate, but the people from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion noticed it in advance and stopped them halfway.

Those outside the city that day were the private army that Prince Rong had raised over the years, but they were defeated after being intimidated by Lu Xuan.

Thinking of this, the emperor's eyes were deep, "With money, power and connections, our ancestors conquered the world in this way. If the Duke of Zhenguo wanted to conquer the world, would it be as easy as taking something out of a bag?"

The emperor's words made Eunuch Li's face darken.

He might say a few words about other matters, but he dared not get involved at all when it came to matters concerning the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, for fear of angering the emperor and ending up with his head and body separated.

He tried to say something nice: "You are the ruler of the world. No matter how powerful this Duke is, he still has to bow down to you."
