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

In the evening, Xiaoju excitedly told Bai Youyou the news.

"Miss, I heard that Mrs. Qiao is here, and the two families have exchanged engagement letters and have finalized the marriage."

Bai Youyou chuckled, "You're quick enough."

"I heard that the fifth lady wanted to go to the Buddha Temple to pray for the old marquis. She left for the Buddha Temple before the engagement letter was exchanged."

"They are afraid of losing face, so they send the person out first and wait until the rumors die down before returning home."

I have to say that these crooked thoughts are not directed at themselves, and their handling methods are indeed quick and appropriate.

Aunt Qiao was so angry that she couldn't eat for three days and lost a lot of weight.

"Mother, look, this is the money my son earned."

Bai Muchen placed a thick stack of banknotes in front of her, "I made six hundred taels from that set of four treasures of the study, and here are eighteen hundred taels."

He originally wanted to use the banknote to pay off the interest first, but in order to make his aunt happy, he took the banknote back.

Li Moyuan said that he had a painting of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" by Master Ju Zheng that he wanted to sell.

He had seen the "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" and it was an authentic work, but it was very expensive, so he was still hesitant.

This incident made him determined to take a gamble.

Aunt Qiao felt a little better when she looked at the pile of banknotes on the table.

"How are your studies going recently? This business makes money quickly, but it's not a long-term solution. Don't neglect your studies."

"My son knows. He won't miss his studies. Don't worry, mother."

Bai Muchen originally wanted to ask Aunt Qiao to take out some more silver, but after Aunt Qiao counted the banknotes, her eyes turned red.

She held the banknote in her hand, thinking of what happened that day, and said bitterly, "That little bitch Bai Youyou cheated me out of five thousand taels for nothing! Five thousand taels!!"

She had saved up money for more than ten years, but most of it was spent in less than two months. She was so heartbroken that her heart was bleeding.

Bai Muchen looked at her haggard face and felt distressed.

"Mom, don't worry, I will make her pay back every penny of our money!"

These days he came up with a brilliant idea that would definitely drag Lu's mother and son into a deep pit.

Not only did he want them to hand over the money, he also wanted them to sell everything they had!

"That little bitch Bai Youyou has been doing very evil things recently," Aunt Qiao said with a face full of resentment, "If you want to kill her, you have to kill that old woman Yang first. Just study hard, I'll take care of this matter!"

A fool is a fool, it is impossible for him to suddenly become smart. He must have become smart after receiving guidance from Mrs. Yang.

"Okay, my son will listen to me."

Bai Muchen drank a cup of tea, then hesitantly asked, "Mom, how much silver do you have on you?"

Aunt Qiao frowned, "Except for the 1,800 taels you brought, I only have more than 800 taels of silver in my hand."

"Mom, I recently fell in love with Master Ju Zheng's "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains". If I sell this painting, I will definitely make a lot of money."

"How much silver do you need?"

"Only three thousand taels."

Aunt Qiao's hand holding the banknote tightened, "So expensive?"

"Mom, this is Master Ju Zheng's A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains. It's a rare find." Bai Muchen dragged his chair closer to her, looking excited, "If this painting is sold, it will definitely double in value!"

He sent people to inquire at those calligraphy and painting shops, and found out that the price of this "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" was between six thousand and seven thousand taels of silver per painting, and he could make several thousand taels of silver by simply reselling it.

Aunt Qiao lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. She felt that something was fishy. "If this A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains is an authentic work, why doesn't the seller sell it himself?"

Bai Muchen glanced around and then sneaked up to her ear and whispered something.

Aunt Qiao's face changed when she heard this, "You are confused!"

"Mom, wealth and honor come from risk. Besides, if you really count this, it has nothing to do with my son. They were the ones who did it, so they should be arrested."

Bai Muchen shrugged indifferently, "I'm just a shopper, I'm not breaking the law."

"no!"

Aunt Qiao looked at him solemnly and said in a very stern voice, "You will have to take the imperial examinations and become an official in the future. You are absolutely not allowed to get involved in such things again!"

Bai Muchen had rarely seen her so serious since he was a child, and he immediately put away the nonchalant look on his face.

He grabbed Aunt Qiao's sleeve in a flattering manner, "I know, mother, don't be angry, your son will listen to you."

Seeing that he was obedient, Aunt Qiao softened her tone and said earnestly, "Grave robbery is a serious crime. You are the young master of the Marquis's Mansion, and your status is noble. You must not associate too much with those low-class people."

"My son knows."

Bai Muchen agreed verbally, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart.

He didn't rob tombs, he just bought things from those tomb robbers. There are so many business transactions in the world, there is no way it could involve him.

Since his aunt refused to take the silver, he immediately went to the Biying Casino and found the manager to borrow another three thousand taels of silver.

This time, Li Moyuan not only took the painting "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", but also brought a seal used by Zhuang Daru during his lifetime.

"Third Young Master, I want to sell this seal for a low price. Are you interested?"

"How much money are you prepared to pay?"

Li Moyuan raised two fingers, "Two thousand taels."

Bai Muchen took the seal from his hand and examined it carefully. Li Moyuan paid attention to his expression and said reluctantly, "My brothers found another good tomb and are in urgent need of money. Otherwise, I would not be willing to pay."

Seeing that Bai Muchen was somewhat moved, Li Moyuan continued to persuade him, "You also know my identity, so it's not easy for me to show up. Otherwise, if you take this seal out and sell it, you can get at least four thousand taels."

Bai Muchen stroked the seal, thinking that if he sold these two things, he could earn at least five thousand taels.

By then, not only would he be able to pay back the usury to the Biying Casino, but he would also have three thousand taels left in his hands.

After a moment's silence, his eyes became stern. "Wait a minute. I'll go get the silver."

When the manager of the Biying Casino heard that Bai Muchen came to borrow money again, he looked at him meaningfully.

"Mr. Bai San, the term of the money you borrowed last time was three months, and it will expire soon."

"Don't worry, Manager Yu, I will definitely pay you back before the due date."

Seeing his confident look, Manager Yu waved his hand and asked someone to give him another two thousand taels of silver.

Li Moyuan was standing not far away, watching him come out of the gambling house, and he understood what was going on.

He is just a bastard son of the second branch of the Marquis's mansion. No matter how favored he is, it is impossible for him to come up with so much money at once.

The two paid the money and delivered the goods.

"Mr. Bai San, I'll come back to you next time I have something good to sell. Let's get rich together."

Li Moyuan counted the silver bills. After the amount matched, he said something to Bai Muchen, then drove the carriage out of the capital without stopping for a moment.

On the third floor of the Must Win Casino, Jiang Tingxiao and Lu Huaizhen stood in front of the window, taking in all of the two's actions.

"This kid from the Bai family is really brave. He even dares to sell stolen goods."
