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

Qi Lian raised his chin slightly, and said with a proud look: "I have asked the dental shop to help me look for a shop. Once I find a suitable store, I plan to open a ready-made clothing store."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Bai Youyou flatteringly, "Xiao Si, you will definitely come to support me, right?"

Is that so?

Bai Youyou looked at the pearl flowers in her hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"It turns out there is no such thing as a free lunch."

Xiao Ju also understood, and the pearl flower in her hand lost its fragrance. She hesitated for a long time before saying with a pained look: "Master, when you open your business, I will buy a piece of linen. You must give me a discount then."

"sure."

Qi Lian did not despise it, his eyes narrowed into a line of joy, "It doesn't matter if you don't buy it, I'm already very happy that you come to support me."

Qi Shan looked up at the sky and pursed his lips tightly.

They have been playing together since they were young. Xiaoju's personality is exactly the same as their own young master. He will never spend a penny more than he should.

Ever since the young master took the initiative to mention buying things for them, he knew that the young master's things were not easy to get.

Sure enough, it came true!

The sun sets slowly towards the west.

After strolling around the old street, Qilian took a white horse-drawn carriage back to the place where he sold wontons before.

"Xiao Si, I'll come see you again in two days."

"it is good."

Bai Youyou nodded at him and told the driver to go back to the Marquis' Mansion.

On the bluestone road, the sound of horse hooves could be heard.

Bai Youyou and Xiaoju walked around for most of the day. They were so tired that they leaned against the wall of the car, closed their eyes and dozed off.

"boom!"

"boom!"

The two were sleeping soundly when suddenly the carriage stopped abruptly. They fell down and their heads hit the wall of the carriage heavily.

"hiss!"

Bai Youyou and Xiaoju covered their heads with their hands, tears welling up in their eyes due to the pain.

The driver was trembling with fear, and explained in a trembling voice: "Fourth Miss, someone suddenly jumped into the middle of the road. I didn't mean to do that."

Bai Youyou lifted the curtain and leaned out of the carriage. She saw a man in gray arguing with a middle-aged man in a tattered black jacket in the middle of the road. There was also a little girl in her teens hiding behind the man in gray, shivering.

"This is your own daughter, how could you be so cruel as to sell her to a brothel and let others abuse her!"

"I won't sell her, but you'll give me money to buy some wine?"

The middle-aged man in black clothes with patches all over his body bared his big yellow teeth and spat to the side, "If you give me two taels of silver today, I won't sell this money-losing product."

"My mother is seriously ill in bed and can't even afford her medicine, yet you still think about gambling every day. Do you really want to drive us to death?"

The man in gray clenched his fists, his eyes were bloodshot, and his sallow face was full of despair.

The little girl was terrified, her legs trembling constantly, her hands tightly grasping the man's clothes, her lips pale, "Dad, don't sell your daughter, I can embroider handkerchiefs for money to buy you some wine."

The area was full of people watching the fun. Bai Youyou jumped off the carriage and squeezed into the crowd.

As soon as she heard the voice, she knew it was the kind-hearted young man who took the blame for her in the Treasure Hunting Tower that day.

"This man is so cruel. He actually wants to sell a grown-up girl to a brothel. What kind of place is a brothel? Her life will be ruined if she goes there!"

"Yeah, it's not like they can't survive, so why would they have to sell their daughter?"

There were quite a few people around who knew their family, and they were all whispering to each other with sympathy in their eyes.

"The Liang family once had thousands of acres of fertile land and countless assets. This Liang scholar is also very miserable. He has such a father. Not only did he squander all the family assets, but now he even doesn't let his own daughter go. He is simply inhumane!"

"Yes, this Liang Xiucai is very pitiful. His mother is seriously ill in bed, and the whole family depends on him to sell calligraphy and paintings to make a living, and he also has to take care of his younger brothers and sisters."

"What a good child! He is a scholar at such a young age. If he were born in my belly, I would worship him as my little ancestor."

A seriously ill mother, a gambling father, young siblings, and a broken man...

Bai Youyou listened to what the people around her said, and immediately felt a little sympathy for this thin young man.

Even a drop of kindness should be repaid with a great deal of gratitude.

Bai Youyou frowned slightly, thinking quickly about how she could help him.

It's impossible to give him money directly. If his gambling father tasted the sweetness, he would pounce on him like a blood-sucking worm.

Furthermore, she helps in emergencies but not the poor, and helps the needy but not the lazy. She doesn’t have that much kindness to spare.

Thinking of those calligraphy and paintings, Bai Youyou had an idea in his mind.

She took out two taels of silver and gave them to Xiaoju, then leaned over and whispered something in her ear.

Xiaoju's eyes lit up and he hurried over with the silver.

"Liang Xiucai, you are here."

Xiaoju smiled and said, "My master particularly likes your calligraphy and paintings. I didn't see you at your stall today, so I sent this servant to come to you and order a painting of spring bamboo."

Liang Xiucai didn't know Xiaoju, and looked a little stunned. "Excuse me, who is your son..."

"My young master's surname is Bai. He is the young master of Yongning Marquis's Mansion, and his name is Bai Luochuan."

Xiaoju followed her mistress' instructions and reported the second young master's name, then handed him two taels of silver. "This is for the painting. My master said he will come to pick it up in seven days."

"Oh...ok."

Liang Xiucai took the silver in a daze, but before he could even warm it up, someone snatched it away.

"It's worth it that your father spent a lot of money to send you to the academy since you were young." He grinned and weighed the silver in his hand. "It's rare for someone to appreciate your paintings nowadays. You should take this money-losing thing back quickly."

When he turned and left, the little girl who had been holding on to Liang Xiucai's clothes finally relaxed her tense nerves. Her legs went weak and she fell to the ground, unable to control her tears any longer.

"Brother, when Dad has spent all his money this time, he will definitely sell me off. What should I do?"

"Brother will never let him sell you out," Liang Xiucai helped his sister up, with tears in his eyes, "Don't worry, brother is here for you."

In the crowd, Mrs. Liu had a bamboo basket on her elbow and could see everything Bai Youyou and Xiaoju did.

A gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and she quietly retreated from the crowd.

Liang Xiucai bowed to Xiaoju and thanked her: "Miss, thank your master for me. Liang Wenchang will remember your kindness today."

He was not stupid, and his paintings were not masterpieces by famous artists, so it was not necessary for the young master of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion to beg him to buy them.

"I will definitely convey your message to you, sir."

Xiaoju bowed in return and turned to walk towards the carriage.

Bai Youyou had already boarded the carriage. Now that the crowd had dispersed, the carriage was able to pass smoothly.

When they returned home, Lu quickly pulled her into the greenhouse and asked about her well-being.

"Today, the girl from the Zhao family and the girl from the Taifu Mansion came to look for you. They waited for you for the whole afternoon and just left."
