Herb Family [Rebirth]

"Uncle, I'm not in a hurry, I don't want to think about getting married yet." Lu Qi said.

"How can you not be in a hurry? Uncle doesn't want you to get married right away, it's just that the prime minister looks at it." Mu Shilang said disapprovingly.

"At the moment, I'm still serving as your Highness's companion, let's talk about it later." Although he was moved by Mu Shilang's kindness, Lu Qi could only politely refuse.

Mu Shilang made up his mind, and asked his own wife to help Lu Qi choose a few good girls with innocent backgrounds when he returned home, so that Lu Qi would not be delayed by the Lu family in the future.

After all, Lu Qi is not Mrs. Lu's son. If Mrs. Lu wants to know about Lu Qi's marriage, she must be sure.

At this time, Mu Shilang didn't know that Mrs. Lu had already left the Lu family with Li.

On the other hand, although Lu Qi was very happy to have a relative, when Mu Shilang mentioned the marriage, he rang a bell in Lu Qi's heart, forcing him to face the reality.

Yes, at the age of him and Bai Heng, marriage will be put on the agenda soon.

In the eyes of the world, a man who has reached his age but has not yet married, unless his family is really poor and has no money, cannot afford a wife, or is disabled, no one wants to marry, otherwise normal men, which one is not married? ?

Thinking of this, Lu Qi was really bored.

What if Bai Heng wanted to get married?Also, what if Bai Heng doesn't have the same feelings for him?

As soon as this idea popped up, Lu Qi suddenly felt restless.

Yes, what's the use of him worrying about here?Right now, Bai Heng doesn't know what he wants, so what he should worry about the most is how to confess his feelings to Bai Heng, right?

But, how to speak?

Lu Qi was even more troubled.

This is far more difficult than how to refuse to get married just now. ...

On the other side, Bai Heng, who was far away in Tongcheng, didn't know that Lu Qi was struggling in his heart at the moment.

After Madam Lu reconciled, she no longer appeared in front of everyone.

The aristocratic ladies who had been friends with her in the past no longer associate with her.

Mrs. Lu closed the door and lived her own life.

Her dowry is enough to support her for the rest of her life. How many years did she spend in the first half of her life for the Xu family and the Lu family?

In the end?However, he ended up being betrayed by all relatives, without even having a biological child.

So now she also sees it, let's live like this, and live a day is a day.

Didn't you look at Uncle Lu? He's heartless. He's living a much happier life than her. She really should learn from him.

But Mrs. Lu thought that Uncle Lu was heartless, but at the moment he was in a state of desperation.

Because Mrs. Lu and the Lu family reconciled, the partners who had given the Lu family convenience for the sake of the Xu family's face all withdrew the convenience and dividends they had originally given.

Everything is strictly in accordance with the rules.

There are also merchants who previously agreed to cooperate, but suddenly terminated the cooperation, or the merchants who had negotiated a grace period came to ask for payment.

The Lu family has relied on the Xu family for many years, and has forgotten the hardships when they worked hard.

Over the years, the pampered life has paralyzed them, making them think that without Mrs. Lu, the Lu family can still prosper as before.

There may be temporary setbacks, but the Lu family thinks they can survive.

Who knew it was only the first day, and Uncle Lu was almost turning gray with sorrow.

Even Mr. Lu didn't expect that Mrs. Lu's reconciliation would bring such a big blow and such tragic consequences to the Lu family.

Looking at the thick stack of IOUs and the deed of rescission in Uncle Lu's hand, Mr. Lu almost couldn't breathe.

"Boss, what are these?" Mr. Lu asked tremblingly, pointing at the IOUs.

"Father..." Uncle Lu didn't have the nerve to say it directly, and he didn't dare to speak out because he saw the old man's face, for fear that he would accidentally piss the old man to death, and he would be guilty of a serious crime.

It's just that if Uncle Lu didn't say anything, wouldn't the old man know how to see it for himself?

Without further ado, the old man grabbed the IOUs and read them one by one.

"Wait, He Ji is going to sever contact with us?" Mr. Lu picked up one of the deeds and asked with an ugly face.

"Well, the shopkeeper of Hutchison came in person and said that he would no longer accept the Lu family's goods." Uncle Lu said.

"He Ji... He Ji! How dare they!" Mr. Lu gritted his teeth and said viciously.

Uncle Lu didn't know why the old man was so angry with He Ji alone. From his point of view, why wouldn't He Ji dare?Now everyone dares to step on the Lu family, is He Ji an exception?

Besides, Hutchison is also a semicolon from the capital, so he must have friendship with the Xu family.

The reason why He Ji was willing to cooperate with the Lu family at the beginning was because of Xu Siniang's face. Now that Xu Siniang has reconciled with him, He Ji will naturally not talk to the Lu family anymore.

It's just that it's hard for him to say these things, so as not to irritate Mr. Lu even more.

Mr. Lu looked at those deeds, as if he saw the Lu family collapse before his eyes.

No!How could he let this happen?He has only one wish in his life, and that is to revitalize the Lu family. He must not let the Lu family be destroyed by his hands.

"Boss, hurry up and find your wife. No matter what method you use, you must persuade her to come back." Old Master Lu held onto Uncle Lu's sleeve like a drowning man catching driftwood in the water.

Uncle Lu was shocked when he heard the words, "Father, Xu Siniang has dragged away the dowry, and the government has also accepted our He Lishu. How can she come back? Besides, why did you ask her to come back? She didn't mention it this time. He Li, I also want to mention it."

"You! You rebellious son, are you trying to piss me off?!" The old man was even more angry when he was robbed by Uncle Lu.

"Father, even without Xu Siniang, wouldn't the Lu family really be dead? I don't believe it, without her, Xu Siniang, without the Xu family, our Lu family would really be impossible!" Uncle Lu snorted coldly, his face full of displeasure. walked away.

"You don't understand—you don't understand—" Mr. Lu looked at his son's back with despair and sadness on his face.

******

After Bai Heng took over the Bai family, he severely rectified the Bai family.

All the buddies who were only able to play tricks before and came in through the Bai family's in-laws or connections were sent away.

There are also some shopkeepers who rely on themselves as old people or offshoots of the Bai family, and they were all fired for enriching their own pockets.

After the rectification of the Bai family in Baiheng, the whole atmosphere has taken on a new look. The people under him are competing to do things, and there are no more lazy servants or bullying shopkeepers.

The Bai family's shop has also become a shop in Tongcheng where many people want to work.

It just so happened that Bai Heng wanted to expand the Bai family's business and set up a branch in a county near Tongcheng, so he sent his trusted shopkeeper and buddy to do some business.

Seeing that the Bai family was developing better and better under Bai Heng's hands, Mr. Bai also completely became the shopkeeper.

Even if someone came to him with a matter, he would just say, "Leave everything to Bai Heng." and dismissed it.

The old man is now putting all his heart and energy on Bai Yan.

For Bai Yan, the grandson, the old man can't say whether he likes or dislikes him.

Although it was because he didn't like his biological mother, but it was Uncle Bai's blood after all, so he wouldn't hate it.But when it comes to liking, he doesn't like it much, Bai Yan is not as talented in medicine as Bai Heng.

Before Bai Heng was able to win the favor of the old man, apart from his status as the eldest grandson, it was because he was talented in medicine, even better than the old man.

But Bai Yan's talent is ordinary, and with such a biological mother, and her temperament has been raised to be petty, how could the old man like it.

Especially after bringing Bai Yan to his side, the old man found that Bai Yan was not only petty, but also had many other bad habits, which the old man couldn't understand and directly adjusted him.

Therefore, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Bai Yan's life by the old man's side was in dire straits. ...

On this day, he managed to find an opportunity to sneak into Xiao Rou'an's yard.

As soon as he saw Xiao Rou'an, he rushed forward and cried, "Mother, grandfather is so fierce, please tell dad quickly, I don't want to be separated from you, why can't I live with you?"

Xiao Rou'an's heart was about to break when she heard the words, she stroked her son's face, and said softly: "Yan'er, be good, listen to your mother, you must please your grandfather, you also have what Bai Heng has, you know?"

"Why do you want to please grandpa? Grandpa doesn't like me at all, mother, you call daddy back." Bai Yan had been doted on by Xiao Rou'an and Bai Zhongfu before, but at the moment she still looked innocent.

"Your father...can't come back." Xiao Rou'an said with difficulty.

"Why?! Mom, why didn't dad come back?!" Bai Yan was greatly shocked. In fact, he wasn't really naive and dull, but his life was too good before, and he was soaked in a secret jar every day. How could he face these things?

At this moment, Xiao Rou'an wanted to smash his innocence.

At this time, she also regretted that she had protected her son so well that he was still so naive at this time.

It's just that she was sure that she could become Bai Zhongfu's equal wife, so she didn't need her son to fight for it. She, the mother, would take the lead in everything.

As a result, reality slapped her hard.

In front of Bai Heng, she thought that her son was so outstanding that he couldn't even compare with a single finger.

Although Xiao Rou'an was locked in the courtyard, she could still hear news from outside. Everyone was saying that the Patriarch of the Bai family was young, but he should not be underestimated.

Those who underestimated the Patriarch of the Bai family have suffered a lot.

Only then did Xiao Rou'an have to admit that the son she raised was not as good as Mrs. Bai's Bai Heng.

It is extremely painful for her to admit this, because in her eyes, Mrs. Bai is a defeated opponent.

But it doesn't matter, she still has hope.

Xiao Rou'an put her hands on her lower abdomen while thinking.

She had already found a reliable doctor before, and the doctor said that the baby in her belly must be a boy.

Bai Heng is still so young, it's hard to say what will happen in the future, even if Bai Yan has no chance to beat Bai Heng, she still has a young son in her belly.

It is said that ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

Ten years is enough for her son to grow up, if Bai Heng can do it, her son must be able to do it too!
