I became a vicious stepmother and I went to the sea to feed my three children.

Xu Zisheng stood up and walked to the window with a serious expression.

"The chances of this happening are very high."

In this case, it means that the Zhang family had been planning this for a long time.

"But, Qingyao, don't worry. I will investigate this matter thoroughly."

The Zhang family has someone behind them. Do they really think that Wangyueju is easy to bully?

Bai Qingyao knew that Xu Zisheng's background must be extraordinary, but she didn't expect that he could be so confident now.

I heard from Sun Yunyun that the Zhang family seemed to have a daughter who was a noble concubine in the palace.

But thinking of Zhang Qiao'er, Bai Qingyao didn't have a good impression of the noble concubine whom she had never met.

He even had a hint of suspicion towards Emperor Dazhao's eyes.

After leaving Wangyueju, Bai Qingyao was about to go back. Just as she reached the corner, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.

She raised her brows slightly, turned around and followed.

Over there, after Gu Yichen arrived in Taohua Town, he soon realized that someone was following him.

When they reached an alley, he stopped and Bai Qingyao followed closely behind him. When they reached the alley, he suddenly disappeared.

She frowned slightly. Where is the person?

Just as I was about to turn around and leave, I felt a cold wind blowing from behind me, and then a figure appeared in front of me.

"Why are you following me?"

Seeing that the person in front of her was Gu Yichen, Bai Qingyao's eyes trembled slightly. "Ah? Following you? I didn't?"

"I just saw a familiar figure, so I came over here to take a look."

After saying this, Bai Qingyao changed the subject and said, "Come to think of it, why are you so excited? Are you doing something evil?"

Gu Yichen: ...

He hasn't tried her yet, but now she's the first to complain.

"I'm just in town to run some business."

He spoke helplessly.

Bai Qingyao glanced at him and said, "You were so secretive, I thought you were deliberately avoiding me."

After saying this, a faint light flashed in Bai Qingyao's eyes.

"How could that be? You're overthinking it."

Gu Yichen glanced at her and asked, "What are you doing in town?"

"Of course... just like you, I handle things."

Bai Qingyao changed the subject and Gu Yichen choked.

She really doesn't want to suffer any loss.

Bai Qingyao glanced behind him. If she remembered correctly, this direction was the direction of the Zhang family.

The last time she saw Bai Qingshan was at the back door of the Zhang family, right in this direction.

Her eyes turned and fell on Gu Yichen.

“Since you have something to do, I’ll go back first. You should also remember to go back early, otherwise Sanxiao will just worry.”

"it is good."

Gu Yichen nodded, and waited until she walked away before turning around and leaving.

When he arrived at the door of Zhang's house, a black shadow flashed and Jingfeng landed beside him.

"master."

"How is it?"

"I've been keeping an eye on the Zhang family these past few days and discovered that the Minister of the Central Secretariat had come here, talked with Zhang De for a while, and then left."

"Secretary-General?"

The expression in Gu Yichen's dark eyes became more and more intense. This matter also involved the Minister of the Central Secretariat. It seemed that the court of Dazhao was really not at peace at all!

As soon as Bai Qingyao returned to Dayuan Village, she saw a carriage parked in front of her house.

As soon as I walked into the yard, I heard the laughter of the three little ones.

Seeing her come back, he stood up from his seat and ran to her, "Aniang~"

"Qingyao, you're back."

"Yunyun? How come you have time to come to my place today?"

"Qingyao doesn't welcome me?"

Sun Yunyun walked forward with a smile, and when she heard her words, she couldn't help but speak with a fierce face.

"How could that be? You are most welcome here."

"But I'm not at home, and I'm afraid you'll feel neglected."

"I had a lot of fun playing with A-Xuan and the others. I didn't feel neglected at all."

In the past, when she played with the children from her uncles' families, she only felt that the children were noisy, but when she played with the three little ones, she didn't have that feeling at all.

I just feel comfortable and happy.

"Yes, mother, we had a lot of fun playing with Sister Yunyun."

Gu Zejing raised his head and looked at her with his big eyes.

"Okay, it's my fault that I misunderstood."

Bai Qingyao touched his little head and looked at Sun Yunyun again.

"Let's go in."

After sitting down, Sun Yunyun spoke nervously, "Qingyao, I heard about what happened at the workshop. Are you okay?"

"Ok?"

Before Bai Qingyao could react, she heard Sun Yunyun continue speaking.

"Today I went to the clothing shop to buy some clothes, but unexpectedly I ran into Zhang Qiao'er. She told me that there was a problem with the workshop on the island, so I hurried over to ask you."

"Qingyao, I'm sorry. It's all my fault that you got into trouble. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have gotten into trouble with Zhang Qiao'er."

Zhang Qiaoer's arrogant look this morning is still vivid in my mind. I just want someone to beat her up.

Bai Qingyao thought something had happened and spoke quickly.

"Yunyun, how can you be blamed for this?"

"It was Sun Yunyun who spoke without restraint. How can I blame you?"

She raised her hand, held Sun Yunyun's hand, and patted the back of her hand.

"Moreover, the Zhang family instigated Gu Lang to take action, probably not just because of personal grudges."

"Qingyao, please don't comfort me. Zhang Qiao'er and I have been holding a grudge for a long time, and this must be one of the reasons."

Although she heard Bai Qingyao say this, she still felt guilty.

"Well, since you're at my house, I'll take you to the island to play!"

As she spoke, Bai Qingyao raised her hand and beckoned to the three little ones, "Do you want to go to the island to play with Sister Yunyun?"

These days, Mr. Jusheng was busy with something, so they had a short vacation. However, they still had to complete their daily homework.

In this regard, Mr. Ju Sheng is still very strict.

"Yes, Sister Yunyun, let's go to the island to play together~"

The three children said in unison. Gu Zehuai took a small shell, held one of Sun Yunyun's fingers, and shook it gently. "Sister Yunyun, this is for you. This is the little shell that Ah Huai picked up. Mom said it's very beautiful."

"Thank you, Ah Huai~"

"You're welcome~"

Gu Zehuai smiled and shook his head, then returned to Bai Qingyao's side.

Speaking of this, Sun Yunyun remembered something else. "By the way, Qingyao, the shell bracelet you made for me last time was so beautiful. I wore it at the party last time, and many people asked me where I bought it."

"They also want it, and asked me if I could ask for them if you sell it?"

"I think this is a good business. They are all wealthy people. Qingyao, it would be a shame not to sell it."

Anyway, few of those people regard her as a true friend, so it would be better to develop more customers for Bai Qingyao.

"Now that you say so, of course I'm willing."

There were no shell bracelets in this era, so it was a novel idea for jewelry.

"Yeah, that's the way to think. It's a waste not to make money anyway."

"By the way, Qingyao, there's one more thing I'd like to hear your opinion on..."
