A man in a black cotton coat was standing at the door of Jufulou with his hands clasped together, pacing back and forth. When he saw Bai Luochuan, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Brother Zhou Jie."

Bai Luochuan straightened his back and had a friendly attitude, but his raised chin revealed a hint of arrogance.

"Come in quickly, the good wine and food have been ordered long ago, and they are waiting for you."

Zhou Jie surrounded him and walked to the second floor of Jufulou. At an angle that Bai Luochuan couldn't see, the corner of his mouth curled up in disdain.

There was another man in the box who was as thin as a monkey. His eyelids were dark blue, his eyes were lifeless, and his face was grayish.

Seeing Bai Luochuan, he immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile.

"Brother Bai, you are here."

"Brother Zhang."

Bai Luochuan nodded slightly at him, and sat on the main seat surrounded by Zhou Jie.

"Brother Bai is really amazing. He was invited by Master Mo."

The thin Zhang Ziang, whom Bai Luochuan called Brother Zhang, held a glass of wine in his hand with a flattering smile on his face, "Brother Bai has received guidance from Master Mo, and he will definitely be among the best next year. I would like to congratulate Brother Bai in advance."

Zhou Jie also picked up his wine glass and agreed with a smile: "Brother Bai is extremely talented and has a brilliant literary talent. Now he has the guidance of Master Mo. It won't be surprising if he can get the first place in the case next year."

"Thank you for your praise, my two friends. I am not very knowledgeable and it is too early to say anything about this matter."

Being flattered like this, the curve of Bai Luochuan's mouth became more obvious. He picked up the wine glass, clinked it with the two of them, and then drank it all in one gulp.

After drinking a few glasses of rice wine, a blush appeared on his face.

When Bai Youyou, Lu Chen and Jiang Tingxiao came out of the box, they stopped at the same time when they heard the familiar voice inside.

Jiang Tingxiao took a few steps and found that the two were still standing there, so he backed up and went back.

"what happened?"

"It's okay, let's go."

Bai Youyou took a look inside through the crack in the door, then left Jufulou with Jiang Tingxiao.

But she didn't expect that Lu Qi climbed in through the window at night.

Bai Youyou frowned slightly, "But what happened to Bai Luochuan?"

Lu Qi nodded expressionlessly, "Two of his classmates invited him to Jufulou for a drink today. After he got drunk, they took him to a brothel and found a prostitute to seduce him."

Bai Youyou was surprised, "He didn't lose his virginity, did he?"

"No, I carried him out of the window before they brought anyone here."

"Do you know why those two planned to harm him?"

"It was someone Bai Mulin bribed."

Bai Youyou thought about it for a moment and guessed the reason.

Bai Mulin kept a mistress under the name of Bai Luochuan. He has poor moral conduct and is not upright.

Even if his mistress explained to others that she had confused the two names, few people would believe her. After all, many people saw it with their own eyes at the gate of Jingzhao Yin that day.

Originally, he could have gotten away with it if Bai Luochuan had taken the blame for his mistress, but Bai Luochuan didn't do that.

His reputation was now ruined and he had no hope of a career in the imperial examinations, so he also wanted to destroy Bai Luochuan's reputation.

"If their plan fails, they must have a backup plan. Go back and guard it. Don't let Aunt Qiao and the others take advantage of it."

Bai Youyou was not worried about Bai Luochuan, but mainly because if anything happened to Bai Luochuan it would involve the Lu family and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, otherwise she really didn't bother to care about that idiot.

For more than half a month, she and Lu Chen went out early and came back late, and Lu was so busy that she couldn't even see her daughter.

That day, Mrs. Lu got up early and made a pot of chicken soup for her.

Before her daughter arrived, she saw Li He coming hurriedly with an anxious look on his face.

"Madam, something big has happened at home. The master asks you and the fourth young lady to return home quickly."

Lu was shocked, "What happened?"

"I'm not sure about the details. The master just wants you and the young lady to go back quickly."

Li He didn't dare to say that he was from the Biying Casino and came with the IOU to collect the debt. Now the master and Aunt Qiao had no money at all, so he could only ask the lady to go back and ask her to take out the money to fill the hole.

"What's so urgent?"

Just as Lu was about to take a step forward, Yang Momo quietly tugged at her sleeve from behind.

Lu looked at her and Yang Momo gently shook her head at her.

Lu took a break, and his mind finally became clearer.

She frowned and said, "You are the master's personal servant, how could you not know what happened in the mansion?"

"This matter is quite urgent. Before I could find out the details, the master ordered me to come and invite you and the fourth young lady back to the mansion."

Li He had been following Bai Yanlang for so long that he could tell lies without blinking.

Yang Momo looked at him calmly, "Guard Li, the fourth young lady went to the Buddha Temple to pray for the old lady, and she is not in the mansion today. Besides, even if there are major events in the Yongning Marquis's mansion, the old lady is in charge. Our lady has never been involved in matters. The master is looking for our lady and young lady, so I'm afraid he has found the wrong people."

"lady......"

Li He looked at her with embarrassment.

"I don't usually take care of things, why do you want me and Youyou to go back?" Mrs. Lu said unhappily, "Go back and watch the show?"

Li He: “…”

This, this, this......

He was speechless.

Yang Momo picked up the food box and said, "Madam, the old lady has been feeling unwell recently. You should send the chicken soup you just made to her as soon as possible. It will become fishy if it gets cold."

"Go back and tell your master not to come looking for me before the New Year, even if the sky falls!"

After saying that, Li took Yang Momo and quickly walked out the door.

Li He stared at her back, a thin layer of cold sweat oozing out of the tip of his nose.

He was filled with helplessness.

As a servant, he can only obey orders. If he had the final say, he would not come here for this trip.

After he hurriedly left the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, Lu and Yang Momo appeared from the corner of the corridor.

"Look at how anxious he is. What happened in this mansion?"

"Why did the young lady bring you back home?"

After being reminded by Madam Yang, Madam Lu instantly recalled the memory that she had long forgotten. She clapped her hands fiercely and said, "It must be that the little bastard Bai Muchen has revealed the matter of borrowing money at high interest!"

Yang Momo looked at her with a warm smile, "Of course it is."

"Then I have to tell Youyou about this as soon as possible, so that she won't fall victim to that evil-hearted person's schemes."

Lu hurried to look for her daughter again, but the room was empty.

She sighed and couldn't help but sigh, "It's not easy to earn a few taels of silver by going out early and coming back late!"

Yang Momo smiled and said nothing.

Being a human being, nothing in this world is easy.

When dusk fell, the Yongning Marquis' Mansion sent Li He to invite Lu and Bai Youyou back to the mansion. This time the doorman got the news in advance, so Li He didn't even go in.

Bai Yanlang sat on the chair and smashed several tea bowls, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.

Aunt Qiao used her fists to beat Bai Muchen, who was kneeling on the ground, desperately. "You bastard, you are so bold, how dare you borrow money from a loan shark!"
