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

Before coming, she deliberately pinched her wrist several times. When she wiped her tears with a handkerchief, the bruises on her wrist were immediately exposed.

Bai Yanlang felt distressed when he saw this. When his eyes fell on Lu, his voice suddenly rose: "Is this how you act as a legitimate mother? Now you treat your concubine's daughter like this in front of me, and in private--"

"Dad, my fifth sister is very arrogant in private."

Bai Youyou interrupted him, "Fifth sister is thirteen years old, and she has only come to pay respects to my mother a few times. Not to mention that my mother hasn't treated her harshly, even if she wanted to, she wouldn't have the chance. If she is so disrespectful to her stepmother, I'm afraid she won't be able to teach her these rules in a few days."

Bai Youyou looked at Aunt Qian who was one step behind Bai Yaoyao, "Aunt Qian, what rules has the Fifth Young Lady learned in the past few days?"

Madam Qian bowed and said truthfully, "The Fifth Miss has only learned etiquette these days. As for women's virtues, women's speech, women's appearance, and women's skills, she has not yet learned them."

"No wonder, Fifth Sister's greeting was quite good just now."

Bai Youyou praised her, then stared at Bai Yaoyao coldly: "Then what's the matter with the injury on her wrist?"

Yang Momo stepped forward, grabbed Bai Youyou's hand, and looked at the still red and swollen scar. She asked in confusion, "The scar is still swollen, so I guess it was only recently injured."

Madam Qian smiled unchanged, "I have never punished the Fifth Miss, and Madam has never said a word. I don't know who bullied the Fifth Miss."

Nanny Yang said to Cuizhu, "Cuizhu, go outside and get some ice."

Bai Yaoyao knew that her cleverness had been exposed, and quickly pulled her hand back, "No one bullied me, I just knew I could go back, and I was too excited, so I pinched myself."

Bai Youyou sneered, "Women's words and virtues are extremely important. Fifth sister should learn more and stop always thinking of tricks to frame others."

Bai Yaoyao bit her lip, about to cry, "Fourth sister..."

"you--"

Bai Yanlang was about to open his mouth to scold Bai Youyou, but Bai Youyou looked over coldly, "Dad, Fifth Sister showed some scars and said some ambiguous words and you just believed them. You didn't even check and then you scolded your wife. If you don't want to use this brain, just pick it off. It's the same whether you have it or not."

“You, you you you…”

Bai Yanlang was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, pointing his finger at Bai Youyou, as if he had epilepsy.

Bai Yaoyao's eyes widened in disbelief, "Fourth sister, how can you talk to daddy like that? And you even cursed daddy to death!"

"cut!"

Bai Youyou sneered, "Fifth sister, do you have hearing problems? When did I curse my father to die? I only said that the brain can be removed if it is not needed, but I didn't ask him to remove his head."

"On the contrary, you said you're used to it. What are you used to?" Bai Youyou tapped the table with his fingers, glancing at her with a half-smile, "Are you used to my mother's harsh treatment of you?"

"No, that's not what I meant."

Bai Yaoyao's face turned pale and she shook her head to defend herself.

Bai Youyou smiled contemptuously and looked at Bai Yanlang with a raised eyebrow, "Dad, wasn't it because of Fifth Sister's words 'I'm used to it' and the scars on her wrists that you mistakenly thought that my mother had tortured her?"

Bai Yanlang lowered his eyes, picked up the teacup at hand, and drank tea to ease his guilty conscience.

"You have to change your habit of always wrongly accusing others. If my mother wasn't so broad-minded, she would have been so angry at you that she would have been suffocated. You don't feel sorry for her, but my grandparents and my uncles and cousins ​​do."

There was no hiding the threat in these words. Bai Yanlang's face turned pale, but he could not refute it. He could only put down the teacup and coughed twice guiltily, "Ahem, Dad was a little impatient just now and wronged your mother."

"Humph!"

Lu was protected by her own daughter, and her heart felt as hot as if it were filled with molten lava.

In response to Bai Yanlang's flattering smile, she just snorted arrogantly.

"You've wronged someone, and you just lip-serviced me and said you were impatient, and that's it?"

"Then what do you want me to do?" Bai Yanlang pulled her sleeve under the table.

When Lu heard Bai Youyou rubbing his thumb and index finger continuously, he suddenly had an idea.

"My son spent a lot of money to buy me this hairpin. Since you feel guilty, just give me the money and consider this hairpin as your apology to me."

Bai Yanlang didn't think a hairpin for a woman would cost that much. Besides, he had never given her any jewelry in these years. He felt a little guilty and agreed without thinking, "Okay, tell me, how much is it? Just think of this hairpin as a gift from your husband."

"I knew that Dad still had my mom in his heart," Bai Youyou smiled, "It's not much, just the cost of Aunt Qiao's small kitchen for a month."

"How many?!"

The tea that Bai Yanlang had just drunk came out with a 'puff', and his eyes widened.

Bai Youyou couldn't dodge in time, and his saliva sprayed on her body.

Mrs. Lu wiped her with a towel, then turned around and glared at him, "It's just the cost of Aunt Qiao's small kitchen for a month, why are you so excited?"

"No, it's not..."

Bai Yanlang wiped the tea off his chin and stared at the crabapple hairpin on her head, which looked really valuable. "Is this hairpin so expensive?"

"It's not expensive at all. It's just a month's worth of food for Aunt Qiao."

Bai Youyou looked at him with a smile, "My mother hasn't opened a small kitchen in these years. I think my mother can also open a small kitchen and enjoy a life of one hundred taels a month."

"No, it's not..."

Lu glanced at Bai Yanlang, who looked anxious, and nodded, saying seriously, "Well, I also want to try what it's like to eat delicacies from the mountains and the sea every day. It just so happens that in half a month, the expenses of our second house will be paid."

Bai Yanlang watched the mother and daughter singing the same tune, and he had no idea that he had fallen into the trap of this troublemaker again.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll ask Li He to bring the money over later!"

I fell into another pit today. I'm so angry that I don't even need to eat to fill my stomach.

Lu watched him leave angrily, and suddenly felt refreshed.

Bai Youyou always felt that there was something fishy about Aunt Qiao only taking out 1,000 taels of silver for the betrothal gift. She reminded Lu: "Mother, this 1,000 taels of silver for my eldest brother cannot be handled by you alone. If something goes wrong, we will be the ones who suffer."

Lu's throat tightened, "What should we do then?"

Bai Youyou hesitated for a moment, then smiled slyly, "Mom, I'll have to trouble my aunt for this matter."

"Let your aunt take care of it?"

"No, I'm going to ask my aunt to borrow someone." Bai Youyou explained to her, "You can handle this matter, but let my aunt's people handle the work. If Dad wants to cause trouble in the future, he won't be able to find us."
