After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom
Chapter 84: You only have so much face, can't you save some money?
Bai Yanlang's eyes swept across the faces of the maids and servants outside the house and he swallowed, but he couldn't afford to lose face, so he waved his hand.
"It's already noon, Lu should be back soon."
Li He glanced at the bright sun that had already passed overhead, sighed quietly, and retreated behind him.
I’m afraid that in this world, the only son-in-law who is so unwelcome in Yue’s family is his master.
"Gululu——"
"Gulu——"
The stomachs of the master and servant responded to each other from a distance.
When it was almost dark, just when Bai Yanlang was getting restless and his face looked as gloomy as if water was about to drip out of it, Lu and Hu finally returned home.
"Why are you still here?"
When Mrs. Lu saw him with a donkey-like face, her eyes were full of disgust.
Bai Yanlang was so angry at her disgusted look that his beard almost stood up. He flicked his sleeves, put his hands behind his back and walked out, "It's getting late, you should go back with me first."
"Trouble."
Lu cursed, turned around and walked in without hesitation for a second.
Bai Yanlang walked to the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion with his head down. When he got on the carriage, he found that Lu did not follow him. He was so angry that veins on his forehead throbbed.
"Where is she?!"
"My wife didn't follow."
Li He looked at his dark face and quickly lowered his head.
Bai Yanlang looked up at the gilded door plaque inscribed by the founding emperor of the Zhenguo Mansion. Just as he was about to say go back, he saw Bai Youyou and Lu Chen riding their horses towards him.
Bai Youyoule stopped the horse, but got off it without much agility.
In addition to being busy with the soap factory and shop these days, Lu Chen also specially taught her how to ride a horse.
When Bai Yanlang saw her, the anger he had been holding back all day suddenly burst out, "Look at you, dressed like this, you don't look like a lady from a wealthy family at all!"
"If you don't like it, you don't have to watch it."
Today, Bai Youyou was wearing the white cotton jacket embroidered with green bamboo that Lu Chen wore when he was a child. She had her hair in a man's bun and looked like a playboy.
Bai Youyou automatically ignored Bai Yanlang's scolding, handed the reins to the doorman, and strode into the room.
Lu Chen ignored him and followed her inside.
"Hey, you, you guys!"
One by one, they ignored him. Bai Yanlang's chest heaved violently, and his raised hand was shaking like he was having epilepsy.
"master......"
Li He was worried that he might pass out, so he called him cautiously.
"This troublemaker!"
Bai Yanlang cursed angrily, then waved his sleeves heavily and followed him into the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Lu was setting the table and handed the chopsticks to Bai Youyou, "You must be hungry. Eat quickly."
When Bai Yanlang came, Bai Youyou had just taken the chopsticks and picked up a piece of tender tofu and put it into his mouth.
"Why haven't you left yet?"
Mrs. Lu glared at him, and seeing that her daughter treated him as if he were invisible, she simply ignored him and continued eating.
On the table there was a plate of braised pork with tofu, a plate of cabbage with vinegar, and a plate of dried plums. These three simple dishes were delicious and appetizing, and looked very appetizing.
Before Bai Yanlang could speak, Lu said directly: "Don't look at it, there is no place for you."
Bai Yanlang felt that his lungs were enlarged today. He sat aside panting, watching the mother and daughter opposite him eating happily, his mouth full of saliva.
He rolled his throat several times, suppressing his anger, "You have been away from home for many days. You can't stay at your mother's house all the time. Come back with me today."
"I don't have any money." Lu raised her eyes and glared at him, "Don't even think about me going back to clean up your mess."
Bai Yanlang didn't count on her. He smiled gently at Bai Youyou and said, "My girl..."
"what's up?"
"That's it..." Bai Yanlang was not sure whether she knew about the loan sharking, so he asked carefully, "Can your farm -"
Bai Youyou interrupted him, "You are not thinking about my manor, and then you want to pay back the loan to Bai Muchen, right?"
"Now that you know, I won't hide it anymore. Just think of it as a loan from you. I will definitely pay you back double in the future."
She was not surprised to know what Lu knew. Bai Yanlang rubbed his hands and looked at her eagerly.
"Do I look like a fool to you?"
Bai Youyou put down the bowl and chopsticks after finishing the meal, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, his eyes full of sneers, "Mrs. Qiao has a dowry, and you have private property. One of you doesn't want to take your dowry, and the other doesn't want to give up your private property, but you are trying to cheat the wife and daughter's private property."
Bai Yanlang's eyes flickered, but he still lied, "Even if I sold all my private property and your Aunt Qiao's dowry, it wouldn't be enough. Otherwise, why would I come to find you?"
"If your private property is not enough, you can ask your grandmother for help. If Aunt Qiao's dowry is not enough, don't you still have the Qiao family? No matter what, they won't covet my and my mother's things."
"I'm just borrowing from you, not not returning it."
"Dad, you only have so much face, can't you save some money?"
Bai Youyou said in a cold tone, "You should understand my temper. If you piss me off, I won't worry about the reputation of the mansion. I will expose all the scandals in the mansion to you!"
Seeing Bai Yanlang was about to say something, Mrs. Lu threw down her chopsticks with a bang, and was furious: "I'm telling you, we won't go back until this mess of yours is resolved. Don't try to target us mother and daughter, or I'll have someone kick you out!"
"We are all family, how can you be so cruel?!"
Bai Yanlang was so angry that his face was distorted, but this was the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and he didn't dare to throw a tantrum. He could only point at the mother and daughter in front of him with a shaking finger, looking extremely disappointed.
"You thought of us when something happened. Why don't you think of us mother and daughter when something good happens?"
The Lu family was not afraid of him even in the Yongning Marquis Mansion, let alone now that they were on their own territory.
"Dad, you should go back and calculate Aunt Qiao's dowry and your own private property. We really can't help you with this matter."
Bai Youyou shrugged, stood up and went to support Lu, "Mom, let's go for a walk in the yard to help digest the food."
Lu obediently followed her and left, and suddenly the helpless and furious Bai Yanlang was the only one left in the room.
Bai Youyou and Lu were walking on the winding corridor. She couldn't help but ask, "Mom, Dad has such a personality and doesn't care about you, why don't you want to divorce him?"
When Mrs. Lu thought about the days she had spent as a widow, her nose felt a little sore.
She sighed, "You and your brother are both descendants of the Yongning Marquisate. If mother divorces you, won't you be bullied to death by that bitch Qiao?"
"Now that we are grown up, Aunt Qiao and her friends can no longer bully us. Are you willing to divorce?"
"You are old, and so is I. If you divorce and return home, there will be a lot of gossip. Besides, you and your brother are going to get married soon. If you divorce now, how can you find a good family? I can't let you be criticized and ridiculed because of my own selfishness."
