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

Lu Huaizhen crossed his arms over his chest, thought for a moment, and felt that those people should not be so bold.

"Send someone to check whether what he has is real or fake."

Before he could send anyone to contact Bai Muchen, Bai Muchen took the things and went to the Treasure Hunting Tower himself.

When Shopkeeper Lu saw him, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly welcomed him in with a smile.

"Sir, are you here to buy something or to pawn something today?"

"Take a look at this, shopkeeper."

Bai Muchen was anxious to pay back the first installment of the loan, so he took out the seal.

The shopkeeper took the seal, looked at it carefully, and then shook his head, "Sir, this thing is not worth much."

"It is worthless?"

Bai Muchen's face suddenly turned pale, and he said in a hoarse voice: "This is the seal of the former dynasty's great scholar Zhuang, how can it not be valuable?"

Thinking of the money he borrowed, he couldn't stop shaking.

Shopkeeper Lu looked at him sympathetically, "Young Master, this is a fake, so it's naturally worthless."

"How can it be fake?"

Bai Muchen couldn't believe it. He looked at the chicken blood red seal in his hand and suddenly found that a piece of red had fallen off somewhere.

He rubbed it vigorously with his fingers several times, and the red area actually spread.

Looking at the red marks on his fingertips, he staggered suddenly and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Boss, please help me take a look at this."

With shaking hands, he handed the painting "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" to Shopkeeper Lu.

Shopkeeper Lu unfolded it and took a look, then immediately shook his head, "Sir, this is also a fake."

"No... Impossible, impossible..."

He felt dizzy, and Shopkeeper Lu quickly supported him.

Bai Muchen breathed a sigh of relief, then he stumbled out of the door with the two things in his hands and quickly ran towards Li Moyuan's mansion.

But after pushing open the door to the courtyard, the place was already empty.

"Li Moyuan!"

"Li Moyuan, come out!"

He screamed in frustration, and the neighbor next door couldn't stand the noise anymore, so he opened the door and came out, saying to him, "This house was rented out three months ago, and the owner moved out two days ago."

Bai Muchen knew that he had fallen into someone else's trap. Thinking about the seven thousand taels of loan sharking money he had to pay back, his calves went weak and he collapsed to the ground.

The people next door saw him like this and didn't want to get into trouble, so they quickly went back to their yard and closed the door with a bang.

Waves of coolness rushed into his body from the ground. Bai Muchen felt that his legs had lost feeling, so he pounded the ground a few times in anger.

Qi Lian hid in the dark and secretly watched this scene, feeling a little confused.

What happened to this thief?

He was strolling on the street earlier and saw Bai Muchen running in a hurry and knocking over a few vendors. He followed him out of curiosity, but he didn't expect to see him crying.

Seeing that he was crying like a bereaved mother, Qilian immediately turned around and went to the Yongning Marquis Mansion.

Bai Youyou has been free these days and made another batch of soap. Now she is cutting it with Xiaoju in the room.

"Xiao Si!"

The Qilian people had not arrived yet, but the shouting had already arrived.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a mountain of soap piled on the table. His eyes widened with surprise.

"Have you done so much?"

How much silver does this cost?!

Bai Youyou said 'hmm' and asked, "You were in such a hurry just now, what happened?"

"I don't have anything to do with you." Qi Lian sat down on the chair and laughed, "It's your third brother."

Bai Youyou paused while cutting, "What happened to him?"

"Today I saw him running to a mansion in Qingwu Lane, crying miserably." Qi Lian rolled his eyes and said slyly, "I suspect he was deceived."

"There is no doubt that he was deceived."

Bai Youyou had known that this day would come and was not surprised at all.

Qi Lian was surprised, "How did you know?"

"Do you remember the old man in the old street?" Bai Youyou raised the corner of his lips slightly, "The man who lied to Bai Muchen was the one who talked to the old man that day."

"You knew it then?"

"I saw him buy a set of four treasures of the study used by Zhuang Daru from that man earlier. I heard that he made six hundred taels of silver from the sale."

Qi Lian was even happier. "There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. You, the third brother, are also a fool."

Bai Youyou sneered, "It is important for a person to know himself, but unfortunately, he doesn't have it."

While the two were talking, the maid stood outside the door and said respectfully, "Miss, the concierge has sent a letter."

"Who sent it?"

Xiaoju opened the door and walked out, taking the letter.

"I don't know. The man didn't say."

After Xiaoju waved the people away, he closed the door and handed the letter to Bai Youyou.

Bai Youyou was a little confused. She took the yellow envelope, opened it, and took a breath when she saw what was written on it.

"what happened?"

Qi Lian heard her gasp and looked curious.

"look by youself."

Bai Youyou handed him the letter. After Qi Lian saw it clearly, he also gasped.

"You are so brave, third brother, to have the guts to borrow so much money."

He counted on his fingers and felt a headache for Bai Youyou's father.

"This is 7,000 taels of silver, and you must pay back at least 10,000 taels of silver within the specified period. If you exceed the deadline, the interest will be even higher!"

Qi Lian raised his head and looked at Bai Youyou with sympathy, "I'm afraid your second branch will have to sell everything it has this time, and the family's savings will be emptied out."

Bai Youyou curled her lips, looking indifferent, "Anyway, even if you have a fortune, it won't fall on me."

"You are too happy too early," Qi Lian put the letter on the table, still with a sympathetic look on his face, "This good thing will not happen to you and Aunt Lu. If this bad thing happens, they will definitely think of you first."

Bai Youyou paused holding the knife.

Not to mention, given her father's personality, this matter of selling everything she has will definitely fall on her and her mother.

Not to mention the farm, even the huge sum of 5,000 taels in her hands now, they would never give up.

"If you can't afford to offend someone, you can afford to hide away. Why don't you go back to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion with Aunt Lu and hide there for a while?"

Qi Lian's suggestion made Bai Youyou's eyes light up, but when she thought of Bai Luochuan, the traitor, her head started to hurt again.

Bai Muchen had been plotted against and had lost so much money. If he used the same old trick again and set a trap for that idiot, the Lu family would have no choice but to ignore it.

"Lu Qi."

At her command, Lu Qi jumped in from the window.

"Go and keep an eye on my second brother now. If he goes to gamble or borrow money, knock him out and drag him back."

"Yes."

Lu Qi's figure flashed and he jumped out of the window again.

"You are right to be on guard against Brother Luochuan."

Qi Lian calmly poured himself a glass of water and said seriously, "With Brother Luochuan's brain, Aunt Qiao and her son are playing with him like a puppy. Don't really drag Aunt Lu and you into the sea."
