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

The invitation was sent out in advance, so the couple should have welcomed the guests together. He was so disregarding of etiquette because he wanted to take advantage of Bai Youyou's absence and ask Dean Kong to accept Bai Mulin.

Facing Bai Youyou's half-smiley eyes, he turned his gaze away guiltily and said with a smile: "Youyou, quickly salute Dean Kong."

Before Bai Youyou could salute, Mr. Kong stood up and looked at her with a friendly expression, "No need to be polite."

"No, you are the elder."

Bai Youyou smiled coquettishly and bowed.

Mrs. Lu smiled appropriately and hurriedly called out, "Uncle Kong, please take a seat quickly."

"Xiao Jianan, we haven't seen each other for many years. In the blink of an eye, you have grown up so big."

Dean Kong's words startled Bai Yanlang, "Madam, do you know Dean Kong?"

Lu nodded, "I saw him a few times when I was young."

Mr. Kong smiled and said, "When I was young, I encountered banditry while traveling. I was rescued by the Duke of Zhenguo, so I went to your house to bother you a few times."

Bai Yanlang didn't expect this to happen, and the smile on his face became even brighter, "This is really fate."

Old Master Kong smiled faintly and went back to caring about Bai Youyou.

Lu, Bai Youyou and Mr. Kong were chatting animatedly, while Bai Yanlang and Bai Mulin seemed to be just a background.

"Youyou girl, if you have nothing to do in the future, come and play at Grandpa Kong's house."

"Okay, I will definitely go."

After Mr. Kong left, Bai Yanlang followed Lu back to Fangfei Garden in a flattering manner.

"Madam, my father-in-law was saved by Dean Kong. Why haven't you mentioned this?"

Lu glanced at him unhappily, "Why, if I mention it, and then you can use it as a favor to repay me, who will benefit from it?"

"Who else can it be for? Of course it's our son Luochuan."

As long as he can enter Bailu Academy, Bai Yanlang will be happy even if he is the second son.

"Come on," Lu snorted coldly, "When you get the chance, if you don't plot for Qiao's sake, how can you think of us mother and son?"

"You knew Dean Kong was going to visit you today, but you kept it from me and even brought Bai Mulin with you on purpose."

She sneered, "Why, do you want to use this favor to get your big son into the White Egret Academy while we're away?"

"how come?"

Bai Yanlang touched his nose guiltily as Lu hit the nail on the head.

Before Lu could retort, Cuizhu came in from outside, followed by Liuyue, the head maid in the room of the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo.

Liu Yue bowed and said, "Aunt, the old lady has been feeling unwell recently and has been thinking about you and the young lady every day. The lady has asked me to invite you to come back to the mansion and stay for a while."

"Is mother-in-law in good health?"

When Bai Yanlang heard this, he hurried forward and asked with concern.

Liu Yue bowed to him, her expression neither humble nor arrogant, "Thank you for your concern, my old lady. Our old lady hasn't seen the aunt and the young lady for many days, and she misses them very much. These days, she has a poor appetite and can't sleep at night. The lady is worried, so she ordered me to invite the aunt and the young lady back to accompany her to relieve her boredom."

When Bai Yanlang heard this, he hurriedly urged Lu, "Then go back quickly and don't let your mother-in-law worry about you."

Mrs. Lu said to Yang Momo, "Mammy, let Cuizhu pack up. We will go back home soon."

Seeing that Lu ignored him, Bai Yanlang walked towards Bai Youyou eagerly.

"Girl, can you see if you can get your elder brother——"

"No."

Bai Youyou interrupted his delusion, turned around and took Xiaoju to her own yard.

Bai Yanlang followed her in small steps, "If your eldest brother can't do it, you can send your second brother to Bailu Academy."

Ordinary people can't even enter the Kong family's door. Just now, Dean Kong took the initiative to invite his fourth daughter to visit his house. It is a great honor.

As long as she was willing to ask, he believed that Dean Kong would definitely be willing to accept a disciple.

"I gave this favor to someone else. It's too late for you to say that."

"Who did you give it to?"

Bai Yanlang refused to give up.

"You'll know later."

"Girl, why don't you think about your family when you have such a good opportunity? Why do you give this good opportunity to outsiders?"

Bai Yanlang followed her and chattered non-stop, "Why don't you go and talk to Dean Kong and ask him to accept your eldest brother or your second brother into the Bailu Academy as well? There are only two of them anyway, he should agree."

"Is Bailu Academy a garbage dump?" Bai Youyou paused, turned around and sneered at him, "Do you think any garbage can enter Bailu Academy?"

In the spring examination held every three years, at least ten people from Bailu Academy would make the list.

The teaching staff is very strong!

Moreover, Bailu Academy emphasizes excellence rather than quantity. They accept students based on their knowledge and character, both of which are indispensable.

People like Bai Luochuan and Bai Mulin, who are half-educated, would never be able to enter Bailu Academy if it weren't for connections.

"Your elder brother is now a scholar, he has good knowledge and noble character, why can't he get in?"

Bai Youyou was already annoyed by his nagging, and smiled sarcastically: "You said he has a noble character? You said he has a noble character for a man who has a mistress before he's even married?"

"What outer room?!"

Bai Yanlang's face suddenly darkened when he heard this, and he said sternly, "Stop talking nonsense and tarnishing your brother's reputation!"

"Tsk, if you don't believe it, forget it."

Bai Youyou sneered and turned away.

Bai Yanlang did not chase her anymore. He watched her back disappear from his sight, then returned to his study with a heavy heart.

He paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed in a knot.

I don't know if what my fourth daughter said is true or not. If it is true...

He didn't dare to gamble.

Bai Yanlang called Li He and told him, "Send someone to follow the young master quietly and see what he does every day."

Asking directly would damage his reputation and the relationship between father and son. For now, we can only wait and see whether this matter is true or not before making a decision.

Fangfei Garden.

Last night, Lu asked Cuizhu to pack up her things. After a while, she got on the carriage with Liuyue, the maids and the old women, and returned to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

The master of the Zhenguo Mansion was waiting at the door early. Seeing the carriage slowly approaching from afar, the calm face of the old lady of the Zhenguo Mansion immediately revealed an excitement that she could not suppress. She walked forward several steps impatiently with her crutches.

Madam Jiang supported her and said with some amusement, "Don't worry, old lady, the eldest and young ladies are already here."

"I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't know you have grown taller."

As the old lady waited anxiously, the carriage finally arrived at the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Cuizhu and Yang Momo got off the carriage first and opened the curtains. Then Lu and Bai Youyou came out of the carriage one after another.

"Mother!"

"Grandma!"

Seeing the old lady in a half-new dark red brocade jacket, with her gray hair pinned up with a green jade hairpin, Bai Youyou shouted uncontrollably.

She stepped onto the wooden stool and got off the carriage. The old lady walked forward and hugged her in her arms.
