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

"They came together?"

Mrs. Lu rubbed her cold hands and put the hot water bottle that Yang Momo had fed her into her hands.

"When did you become friends with the young lady from Master Qin's family?"

"It's Qin Ran who wants to befriend me, but I don't really want to play with her."

Mrs. Lu looked proud, "My son is smart and kind, so he is naturally likable."

But she changed the subject and advised: "If you don't want to be friends with her, don't be too obvious. Just save face."

"I know mother."

Bai Youyou took the jewelry box with auspicious clouds carved on it from Xiaoju and stuffed it into Lu's hand.

"what is this?"

Lu touched the brocade box in her hand, as if she had guessed it, and a layer of mist suddenly appeared in her eyes.

"Open it quickly and take a look."

At Bai Youyou's urging, Lu opened the lid.

An exquisitely shaped crabapple hairpin came into view. Yang Momo and Cui Zhu both exclaimed, "What a beautiful crabapple hairpin!"

"It's really beautiful," Lu picked up the hairpin and couldn't let it go. "This hairpin must have cost a lot of money, right?"

"Madam, this hairpin was designed by the young lady herself and specially made by the owner of Wanbaolou."

Xiaoju was always lively in front of Lu, and Lu treated her like a half-daughter.

She widened her eyes and looked at Bai Youyou in disbelief, "This was designed by my son himself?"

"Yes, it was designed by my daughter."

Bai Youyou took the crabapple flower hairpin from her hand and pinned it in her hair.

The jet-black hair, paired with the lifelike crabapple flowers, adds a touch of spring beauty to the lonely winter.

Mrs. Lu had fair skin. She raised her hand and gently adjusted her hair, pursing her lips and smiling. She was truly more beautiful than a flower.

When Bai Yanlang arrived, he saw this scene, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He walked in with a smile on his face, looked at the crabapple hairpin on Lu's head, and asked with a smile, "Did you buy it today?"

Mrs. Lu reached out her hand to adjust the hairpin on her head and smiled proudly, "My daughter made it herself according to the pattern she drew for me. Doesn't it look good?"

"nice."

Bai Yanlang glanced at Bai Youyou, with a hint of sourness and surprise in his tone.

"You looked stupid in the past, but I never thought you had such a talent."

"You usually don't pay any attention to me, so of course you don't know what my abilities are."

Bai Youyou sneered, "Unlike Fifth Sister, you know the smell of her farts every day."

"that is!"

The Lu family and Bai Youyou have always helped their relatives instead of the outsiders, not to mention that what their daughter said makes sense.

Bai Yanlang choked and blushed again.

"vulgar!"

He waved his sleeves heavily, walked to the empty chair beside Lu and sat down, then took out a stack of silver bills with a face value of 100 taels and placed them in front of Lu.

"Here is a thousand taels of silver. You should prepare everything you need for Mu Lin's marriage proposal."

Lu glanced at the banknote and said coldly, "One thousand taels of silver is enough for one thousand taels of silver. Don't find other excuses to cause trouble to me in the future!"

"One thousand taels plus the betrothal gift from the Duke is already quite respectable."

Bai Yanlang felt a little annoyed when he saw her being so wary of him.

If Jiaojiao hadn't said that Mu Lin's marriage was arranged by her, a concubine, and she was afraid that others would look down on the eldest daughter-in-law, he would not have come to see her ugly face!

Lu took the banknotes and checked them carefully one by one before handing them to Yang Momo.

Seeing that he still didn't leave even though she had agreed to do the job, Lu rolled her eyes at him and asked, "Anything else?"

It was obvious that he was trying to drive her away. Bai Yanlang bit his cheeks in anger and said, "Why, now I can't even sit in your room for a while?"

"You're not here to eat for free, are you?"

Lu choked.

"Well, I'll ask the maid to go to the kitchen to get two more dishes and warm up a pot of hot wine."

Bai Yanlang grabbed the melon seeds on the table and cracked them. Looking at Lu's face which turned red with anger, he crossed his legs and laughed in a frivolous way.

Cuizhu tactfully took the bronze mirror from the room, and Lu happily looked at herself in the mirror again, forgetting about him.

A woman in her thirties is like a blooming flower, beautiful and charming.

Bai Yanlang looked at her beautiful eyes and couldn't help but think of the day when he lifted the veil and saw her beautiful face.

In fact, Lu was extremely beautiful, with a fair face like a lotus, beautiful eyebrows, white teeth, lips that were red without any makeup, and eyebrows that were green without any drawing.

It's just my personality...

He really couldn't like it.

Coming back to his senses, looking at Bai Youyou sitting lazily beside Lu, he started to complain again, "You don't sit properly. You will be fourteen after the New Year, you should learn the rules, otherwise when you get married in the future, people will say that I, the Yongning Marquisate, didn't educate you properly."

"No matter how ignorant my daughter is of the rules, she won't talk nonsense and make trouble for others!"

Lu put down the mirror in her hand, snatched the tea bowl that Bai Yanlang had just held in his hand, and placed it on the table with a bang.

"If you want to eat, then eat. Don't pick on my daughter. It's okay for my daughter to be a little more willful at home. As long as she doesn't hurt anyone, no one can say anything about her!"

"That's right, stop picking on me."

Bai Youyou felt warm in her heart and agreed with Lu, pushing the small plate of peeled peanuts in front of Lu, "Mom, don't be angry, eat the peanuts."

Mrs. Lu picked up some peanuts and ate them. Then she smiled lovingly and praised him, "My son is filial."

Bai Yanlang looked at the loving mother and son and the filial daughter, and he finally remembered what Qiao had told him before.

"The prince's plum blossom viewing banquet will be held in two days. Yaoyao has been invited and has almost learned the rules. Let her go back."

Mrs. Lu looked up at him, her smiling face suddenly turned gloomy, "Go back and ask Mrs. Qiao to teach her a lesson. Don't leave the house, because you can't control your tongue when you stir up trouble. The next time I hear her making up stories about my daughter, I will tear her mouth apart!"

"Cuizhu, go and bring the person over."

After Lu gave Cuizhu an instruction, she continued to talk to Bai Youyou about some interesting things.

Bai Yanlang touched his nose uncomfortably, picked up the half-spilt cup of tea and took a sip.

When Bai Yaoyao heard that she could go back home, she was so happy that she burst into tears.

She packed her things in a box and followed Cuizhu to the small hall, bowed politely, and said, "Hello, father, mother."

Lu always liked something when she liked it and disliked something when she disliked it. She glanced at Bai Yaoyao and acted as if it had nothing to do with her.

Bai Yanlang was eager to protect his daughter and couldn't help but say, "Yaoyao is paying respects to you. You are her stepmother after all. How can you treat her like this?"

"What attitude do you want from me?"

Mrs. Lu stiffened her neck and glared at him sarcastically, "How about I build a golden statue for her, place her in a temple, burn three incense sticks every day, and kowtow to her?"

"Dad, don't blame mother. Yaoyao is fine. Yaoyao has gotten used to it."

Bai Yaoyao's eyes were red, with a tear in her eye that was about to fall. She bit her lip, looking like she had suffered a great deal of injustice.
