It gets dark especially early in winter.

The old lady looked at the lanterns lit up on the eaves outside the house, rubbed her brows, and said tiredly: "I'm tired, you all go back."

Everyone bowed and left.

When Bai Youyou returned, Mrs. Lu was sitting in the house smiling from ear to ear.

"My son is back."

Seeing her second daughter, she walked up to her and held her hand affectionately, "It's the coldest time of the year, why don't you wear more clothes?"

"A lot. I have a padded jacket and I also wear a cloak when I go out."

Bai Youyou brushed the snow off her shoulders, took off her cloak and handed it to her personal maid Xiaoju.

"I heard that the bitch Bai Yaoyao was making trouble outside and you took care of her?"

Knowing that Aunt Qiao and her daughter were in misfortune, Lu raised her eyebrows, her eyes unable to conceal her gloating.

Bai Youyou looked at the original owner's mother, feeling helpless.

The original owner's maternal grandfather's family held great power, but the Lu family had a rule that a man could take a concubine only if he was forty and childless.

Unlike other families who have many wives and concubines, the Lu family has a simple family structure. Her mother has never experienced intrigue since childhood and has a simple and straightforward personality.

This kind of personality will only suffer when facing Aunt Qiao, who is so delicate and easily tears up her eyelashes.

"Grandmother asked you to send a nanny to teach Fifth Sister the rules. Don't go too far in this matter, or Dad will come back to find you and make you unhappy."

"Am I afraid of him?"

Lu's neck stiffened and she snorted coldly, "It was not easy for this little bitch to fall into my hands. If I don't give her a good beating, it will be difficult to relieve the hatred in my heart for all these years!"

Thinking of the humiliation she had endured over the years, Lu gritted her teeth.

Aunt Qiao is not someone else, but the old lady's niece. This bitch could have seduced anyone else, but chose to seduce her husband.

Although she was a concubine, she relied on Bai Yanlang's favor, superior to her in every way, and lived a more glorious life than her, the principal wife.

If it weren't for her family's efforts, she might have taken the position of mistress!

Bai Youyou understood her personality from memory and knew that she would not give up until she was allowed to vent her anger, so she could only helplessly say: "Then go to your aunt in a few days to borrow a nanny, and let your aunt's nanny teach Bai Yaoyao the rules."

Her mother doesn't know how to use the secret methods in the backyard, but that doesn't mean the maids don't know how to use them.

As long as she doesn't let anyone find fault with her, Bai Yaoyao will definitely be in big trouble this time with her aunt around.

"If Dad asks you to plead for mercy, you just need to agree with him verbally."

Bai Youyou was still worried and warned her, "This time it was Bai Yaoyao who spread rumors and brought disgrace to the Marquisate. The aunt will not let her off easily. If Dad comes to you, just say he was sent by the aunt and let him go to the aunt himself."

After hearing what she said, Mrs. Lu was a little puzzled. "If your father goes to ask your aunt for help, won't she give him face? Then Bai Yaoyao will escape again, right?"

"Don't worry, my aunt won't pay any attention to him."

The book says that the old lady was reluctant to give up her power, which restricted Li's housekeeper in many ways. Aunt Qiao relied on the fact that she was the old lady's niece, and she helped the old lady to make insinuations against her.

"If the aunt didn't want to punish the mother and son, she would not care about what happened today."

"My son is smart."

Lu's almond-shaped eyes were exactly the same as Bai Youyou's, and she was happy for a while while sitting in the chair, and suddenly she thought of the ungrateful person.

She was so angry that she slammed the table and said, "Your brother is such a bastard. He actually helped that little bitch Bai Yaoyao to bully you. You really raised him in vain!"

Bai Luochuan, who had just walked to the door, heard her scolding, and slipped while going up the stairs, and fell to the ground with a bang.

"Master!"

His personal servant Zimo was startled and rushed forward to help him up from the ground, "Are you okay?"

"fine."

Bai Luochuan pushed him away with a green face and went into the house while enduring the pain in his leg.

Mrs. Lu had just heard the noise and had not gone out. When she saw him, she snorted unhappily and said sarcastically, "Hey, who is this? Why are you in my yard today? Did you find the wrong door?"

Bai Luochuan touched the tip of his nose and bowed to her awkwardly, "Mother."

"Humph."

Mrs. Lu rolled her eyes childishly, "Don't call me mother, I can't bear it. You should go to Wei Rui Xuan and call Aunt Qiao mother. They are your mother and sister."

Bai Youyou ate the plum blossom cake that Lu made specially for her, with a smile on her face, not trying to hide the mockery in her eyes.

This Bai Luochuan is a weird character.

He neither respected nor loved his own sister and mother, but helped the concubine and her daughter in everything.

Mrs. Lu was very angry about this matter, but she felt that Aunt Qiao and Bai Youyou were kind-hearted and pitiful people.

"Mom, we are all family, why are you saying this?"

Bai Luochuan sat down on the chair next to Bai Youyou, picked up the teapot, poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Lu.

Bai Youyou probably guessed what he wanted to say and snorted coldly, "Second brother, are you here for Bai Yaoyao?"

Mrs. Lu had just picked up the tea poured by her son and her expression eased a little. After hearing Bai Youyou's words, she immediately put the teacup heavily back on the table.

"You ungrateful bastard! I thought you had changed your ways and were filial to me, but now you're speaking for that bitch again! If you dare to speak for that bitch, get out now!"

Speaking of this, Lu was like a cat with its fur standing on end. She was so angry that her chest heaved up and down. She picked up a golden orange on the table and threw it at him.

"Mother, you are Yaoyao's mother. If you abuse her, others will say that you are cruel to a concubine's daughter and have a vicious heart."

Bai Luochuan didn't dare to dodge and took the blow. The golden orange fell at his feet. He bent down and picked it up. "You don't want to be known as a vicious stepmother, do you?"

Lu is the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo and has always lived a carefree life.

The Duke and his wife of Zhenguo were also aware of their daughter's personality. They knew that if she became the mistress of a wealthy family, she would not be able to stand all those rules and regulations, so they found a man named the second son of the Yongning Marquisate for her.

She doesn't need to manage the household, nor does she need to worry about the affairs of the mansion. She can just live her life well. As long as the Zhenguogong Mansion doesn't fall, she will be worry-free for the rest of her life.

Her confidence comes from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, not the Marquis of Yongning's Mansion. The reputation of a vicious stepmother is trying to repel her. Bai Youyou thinks her own brother is childish and ridiculous.

"Don't try to scare me with that!"

Mrs. Lu always took advantage of the situation and glared at him with a cold face. "Evil mother is evil mother, I don't care!"

Bai Luochuan advised kindly: "My sister will also be getting married in the future. If others knew that you are so narrow-minded, how would they look at her?"

"Don't bother me, I don't care."

Bai Youyou saw that he was trying to use her as an excuse and sneered, "For the sake of the concubine and her daughter, you planned so much that you even threatened your own mother. I guess outsiders don't know that you are so filial. Tomorrow I will send someone to your academy to publicize your good name so that all your classmates will know your good name."
