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

"Dad, you are so thoughtful."

Bai Youyou smiled sarcastically.

Knowing that he had two daughters at home, he only bought a rabbit lantern. The original owner pulled his sleeve and said that he also wanted a lantern, but he just impatiently sent the original owner away, not even willing to coax her.

She stuffed the rabbit lantern into his hand, and raised the corners of her lips, "But you should take it back. My mother bought this rabbit lantern for me a long time ago."

"Then... Dad will buy you something else next time."

Looking at his embarrassed escape, Xiaoju walked to her side and sighed, "Master really has no heart at all."

"He has ulterior motives."

Bai Youyou asked Xiaoju to take out all the shells, and the two of them cleaned them one by one.

There was no incision on Bai Youyou's side. Bai Yanlang thought about it, took out the jade crown that he had prepared for the boss, and went to Bai Luochuan's yard.

When Bai Luochuan saw him, he immediately stood up, with a look of surprise on his face for a moment, "Dad."

"Where's studying?"

Bai Yanlang placed the brocade box containing the jade crown on the desk and patted his shoulder. "It's good to be diligent, but you also need to combine work with rest and take care of your health."

Bai Luochuan felt a rare concern, and his nose was sore, and his eyes instantly turned red, "Son, I'll remember that."

"Dad knows I have wronged you over the years." Bai Yanlang's face was filled with guilt. He opened the brocade box and said, "When Dad saw this jade crown, he thought it suited you very well, so he bought it."

"Thank you dad."

Bai Luochuan took the brocade box, his heart pounded, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise.

"Ugh."

Sitting in a chair nearby, Bai Yanlang sighed heavily.

"Dad, is there anything bothering you?"

Bai Luochuan carefully closed the lid and put away the jade crown, then picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of him.

"It's nothing."

Bai Yanlang picked up the cup of tea and took a sip. After putting the teacup down, he sighed again.

Bai Luochuan sat on the chair beside him and asked anxiously, "Dad, have you encountered any difficult problems?"

"You went to the East Palace today. You also know about your fifth sister, right?"

Bai Yanlang looked at the anxiety on his son's face, and his depressed mood finally eased a little.

Bai Luochuan nodded upon hearing this.

"Dad, are you worried about your fifth sister?"

"Your fifth sister was in trouble today. She was just wearing a pair of Dongzhu headgear, but the eldest princess took advantage of it to make a fuss..."

Bai Yanlang hesitated and sighed heavily, "Regarding the South City incident, His Majesty intends to collect donations for disaster relief. The money in the palace account is not enough. Your grandmother is willing to subsidize 2,000 taels, and the remaining 2,000 taels will be paid by your father."

"You know, Daddy only has that much private property. I asked for an invitation from Master Mo for you and gave the manor to your sister. Now..."

Bai Yanlang kept his eyes on the expression on Bai Luochuan's face, and when he noticed that his expression darkened, he stopped talking in time.

"Dad is also confused. Why am I telling you this?"

He stood up and patted his shoulder, "Study hard. If you don't have enough money, Dad will sell the land and the shop, and we will get it together."

After saying that, he sighed again and turned to leave.

Zimo came over, holding the deerskin boots that Bai Yaoyao had sent earlier, and said casually, "Fifth Miss is also pitiful. She obviously did nothing wrong, but she suffered such a disaster just because she dressed decently."

Bai Luochuan's eyes fell on the pair of deerskin boots, and his thin lips were tightly pursed. He lowered his eyes, and Zimo couldn't see the emotions in his eyes.

However, he had been Bai Luochuan's study partner since he was six years old, and knew his personality best.

Zimo took the boots and placed them at his feet. "Master, it's cold at night. Change your shoes to avoid freezing your feet."

"Miss Fifth has been telling me that you have worked hard studying and that I must serve you carefully."

He squatted on the ground and took off Bai Luochuan's black boots. "He also said that after a while, he would use the monthly silver he saved to buy you a set of good cinnabar Wenchang pens."

Bai Luochuan curled up the fingers on his thigh, raised his leg to break free from Zimo's hand, and put on his shoes by himself.

"I'll read for a while. You can go out now."

Zimo was stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered his head, walked out of the room and closed the door.

The room was brightly lit by candlelight. Bai Luochuan opened the brocade box at hand and looked at the jade crown inside. A trace of struggle flashed in his clear eyes.

Many things from the past flashed through his mind, and finally he focused on the invitation. He gritted his teeth, forcefully closed the lid of the brocade box, stood up, picked up the box, and placed it in a box in the study.

The night is endless.

Early in the morning, Bai Yaoyao came over again with a lunch box.

"Second brother, this is the chicken soup I asked someone to make last night. It's so delicious."

Bai Yaoyao always had unimpeded access to Bai Luochuan's yard. She took the still-hot stew pot out of the lunch box and placed it on the table in the study, smiling sweetly and saying, "We have to go to the clan school for classes soon, so drink it while it's hot, second brother."

"No, I've already had breakfast, Fifth Sister, take it back."

Before Bai Yaoyao's eyes could turn red, Bai Luochuan took his book box and walked out the door.

Bai Yaoyao looked at his back and stomped her feet in hatred.

"Miss......"

Bi Tao met the vicious look that suddenly shot at her and looked at her cautiously.

"What's the name?"

Bai Yaoyao's face was ferocious, and he grabbed the soft flesh on her arm and twisted it hard.

Bitao was in so much pain that tears came out of her eyes, but she could only purse her lips and wait for her to calm down.

Bai Youyou raised her eyebrows as she listened to the gossip that Xiaoju had heard.

"Miss, they are not trying to take a roundabout way and start with the Second Young Master, so that he can persuade you, right?"

Xiaoju's big eyes were full of contempt. He rubbed the hair oil in his palms, then used his five fingers to comb her hair and gently applied it to her black hair.

As she combed her hair, she said to herself, "They will probably be disappointed. The Second Young Master made a bet with you."

"Your Second Young Master hasn't suffered enough."

Bai Youyou was thinking about what to do next in her mind. She didn't have much hope for Bai Luochuan.

With his character, he can reject others’ kindness once or twice, but what about five or six times?

impossible.

Sure enough, as she expected, for several days in a row, Bai Yaoyao went to see Bai Luochuan with snacks or other food she made herself.

Bai Luochuan didn't eat it, but his attitude obviously softened.

Xiaoju laughed at first, but then he couldn't laugh anymore.

"Miss, aren't you in a hurry?"

"No hurries?"

Bai Youyou has been living an extremely comfortable life these past few days. Every day she either reads a storybook or eats and sleeps.

The days of lying down like this were something I could never have before.

"Let him be. You'll know after a few more setbacks."

"Ugh!"

Xiaoju sighed, her eyes full of disappointment. She packed up the washed and dried clothes and found that a handkerchief was missing.
