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

Originally, Bai Youyou was kneeling here, and she would laugh at her in the name of concern. She never thought that one day she would be here.

There were a few dim lotus oil lamps lit around, and the room was so quiet at the moment that even the sound of swallowing saliva was particularly clear.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."

Suddenly, two gray mice as big as kittens quickly ran to her side!

"what--"

Bai Yaoyao screamed in fright, jumped up from the ground, and shook her skirt vigorously.

In the darkness, a small pink pill shot out from the dark corner of the window frame and hit her. She screamed in pain and her body suddenly became unable to move.

The gray-haired mouse sniffed her scent with its nose raised and crawled under her skirt.

Bai Yaoyao wanted to scream but couldn't, wanted to move but couldn't, she just felt something crawling up her trouser legs.

Her eyes opened wider and wider, and her body trembled violently.

The gatekeeper was used to hearing screams, so she yawned, stretched, and then slowly pushed the door.

In the darkness, a small stone shot in from the slightly open window and hit Bai Yaoyao.

Bai Yaoyao was able to move now, but her whole body was as if struck by lightning, and she stood there stiffly.

When the gatekeeper pushed the door open, she saw a large pool of yellow liquid overflowing from under her, accompanied by a pungent smell that hit her in the face.

She frowned slightly, with a hint of contempt in her eyes.

"Fifth Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"Yes, there is a rat crawling on me."

Bai Yaoyao was so ashamed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into. She pointed at her skirt with a trembling voice and a shaking finger, "Come here and help me take a look."

The old woman stepped forward, lifted up her wet skirt and took a look, then shook her head, "There is no mouse, Miss Fifth, are you dazzled?"

"No, it's impossible, I saw it with my own eyes, I can't be wrong!"

Bai Yaoyao held up the hem of her skirt, stomped her feet on the spot, and liquid splashed under her feet with her movements.

The old woman took three steps back in disgust.

Bai Yaoyao seemed to be possessed by a demon, and kept muttering, "How could there be nothing? There are clearly mice, clearly there!"

"Fifth Miss, it is normal to have mice in the house. There is no need to be surprised."

Aunt Qiao had come here before and gave her a piece of silver to ask her to take care of the fifth young lady. The maid called two maids, brought her clothes to change, and ordered someone to clean up the stains on the floor.

After a busy day, it was already late at night.

Behind the ancestral hall, Lu Qi clapped his hands, picked up the two gray-haired mice and left briskly.

When Bai Youyou opened her eyes in the morning, she saw Lu Qi in black standing in front of the bed, which scared her.

She calmed down her heart that was about to jump out of her chest and asked, "Is it done?"

Lu Qi nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Her face was covered with a black scarf at the moment, but her bright eyes were full of the pride of having retired successfully.

"She peed herself on the spot."

Bai Youyou didn't expect this to work. She got out of bed and patted her shoulder in appreciation, "Well done!"

Lu Qi raised his chin slightly, and the corners of his eyes curved.

Bai Youyou took out her purse, took out a small piece of silver and threw it to her, "Buy some candy."

"Thank you, Master."

Lu Qi received the reward, opened the window and jumped out.

Xiaoju heard some noise in the room and came in with some hot water. "Miss, do you want to get up?"

"Woke up."

Bai Youyou lifted the quilt and stood up. Xiaoju said with a smile, "The seventh cousin came to the mansion early in the morning. He heard that you were not up yet, so he waited for you at the Madam's place."

"Seventh cousin?"

Bai Youyou suddenly remembered who the seventh cousin was and slapped her forehead, "Oh, I almost forgot that I made an appointment with my seventh cousin to go to the Big Buddha Temple to see the plum blossoms the day before yesterday."

The seven young masters of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion were very kind to the original owner. When Bai Youyou said she wanted to see plum blossoms, Lu Chen said he would take her to the Big Buddha Temple to see them.

The Big Buddha Temple is twenty miles outside of Beijing. The entire back hill is planted with plum trees. Every winter, the scenery there is unique and beautiful.

After a quick wash and a few cakes to fill her stomach, Bai Youyou hurried to Lu's Fangfei Garden.

Not only were Lu and Lu Chen in the room, but also the original owner's biological father Bai Yanlang, who only came a few times a month.

He saw Bai Youyou with a gloomy face and an unhappy expression, "A girl is getting up at this time, she is becoming more and more unruly!"

Bai Youyou bent her knees halfway, and simply didn't bother to salute, and stood up straight.

Anyway, the original owner's father's heart was with Aunt Qiao, so even if he was polite, he would still find fault with her.

When Mrs. Lu heard him scolding her precious daughter, she was like a mother eagle protecting her calf, and she was furious: "You have rules? If you knew the rules, how could you let a little girl dare to act wildly in front of your wife!"

"Among all the civil and military officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the one who has no manners the most is you, Bai Yanlang! The second branch of the Bai family is neither legitimate nor illegitimate, and you still have the nerve to say that my daughter has no manners!"

"Your beloved Aunt Qiao knows the rules, but how did you raise a gossipy little bitch who makes up stories about your eldest sister? It's really a joke!"

Lu kept scolding Bai Yanlang, causing his face to turn blue and red.

He had come here today just for the fifth girl, and now he had made Lu unhappy, so he felt secretly regretful.

"Mother, the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty stipulate that if a man takes his wife as a concubine, he will be caned 100 times, if he takes his concubine as his wife, he will be caned 90 times, and if a man has two wives, he will be executed!"

Bai Youyou walked over to Madam Lu, patted her back to calm her down, glanced at Bai Yanlang, and sneered, "Madam Qiao is just a servant anyway. If she makes you unhappy, just find a matchmaker to sell her off."

Bai Yanlang's body shook violently, and he looked up at Bai Youyou with a look of astonishment.

He slammed his palm on the table and shouted angrily, "Shut up! Aunt Qiao is the biological mother of your two brothers and sister, and you keep talking about selling her out. How can you be so cruel at such a young age?!"

"Is my son wrong? Isn't Qiao Jiaojiao a concubine?"

Mrs. Lu raised her voice and said, "She was originally a slave. If it weren't for my mother, would I have tolerated her making trouble over me all these years?"

"My son is right. I am a trader. I am just a slave. I can sell her if I want!"

"Aunt, do you want your nephew to tell grandfather about this? If you are unhappy, you can go back to the Lu family with your cousin. The Lu family has a big house and can support you even if they are not rich."

Lu Chen sat aside, his eyes cold.

His aunt's marriage to Bai Yanlang was a marriage of downgrade. If it weren't for the fact that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was too powerful to be worthy of the emperor, his aunt would have been worthy of marrying a prince.

This man doesn't know what's good for him. He actually favors his concubine and ignores his wife. Does he really think that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is not in charge of the affairs of his daughter's married house, so he acts without any scruples?

Bai Yanlang's lips were trembling and his face was pale.

The Lu family's Xiaoqi actually wanted him to divorce the Lu family if they had a disagreement!
