In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.

Chapter 681 Bai Liezhao went to find Shangguan Yi

If there was no crystal or diamond-inlaid ceiling decoration in the Bai family's carriage, they would usually go to the Bai family's treasure pavilion to buy a lot of crystal stones, pearls, and large luminous pearls, and then decorate the ceiling by themselves.

This is an acceptable approach.

Moreover, the ceiling decorated by oneself is more beautiful and full of shining stars, which makes many rich people envious.

If they had known earlier, they would have gone to the Bai family's treasure pavilion to buy crystal stones, pearls and night-shining pearls.

But unfortunately, when they went back to buy, many things in the Bai Family Treasure Pavilion had been sold out.

The Bai Family Treasure Pavilion imports goods from the Western Regions, but recently, Bai Lu and Shen Congyun have no plans to purchase goods from the Western Regions, so many things have long been in short supply.

These rich people are somewhat helpless, and they even want to do business in the Western Regions themselves.

But after asking around for a long time, they found out that those who had been to the Western Regions to do business had not found any crystal stones, pearls, or luminous pearls in the Western Regions.

I don’t know where Bai Lu and the others found it.

What we can know is that only Bai Lu's family has so many dazzling gems, no other family has them at all.

Even if they went to the Western Regions to do business and buy it back, it would be absolutely impossible. They could only buy it from Bai Lu's family.

So, under the watchful eyes of everyone along the way, Bai Liezhao finally arrived at Shangguan's door.

The Shangguan family is so majestic!

After all, he is the richest man in the entire Qingzhou city.

Moreover, their family has lived here for generations, and the courtyard with nine entrances and nine exits is much larger than Bai Lu's house.

There is even a manor in the backyard, which is used as a back garden. I heard that many ferocious animals such as tigers and leopards are kept there.

In such a big house, only two masters, Shangguan Fusheng and Shangguan Yi, live here.

All the branches of the Shangguan family live elsewhere in Qingzhou City, or someplace further away...

Not here anyway.

As soon as Bai Liezhao got off the carriage, he saw more than twenty guards from the Shangguan family coming up together.

The guards saluted Bai Liezhao and said with a smile, "It turns out that the second young master of the Bai family has arrived. Please come in, second young master."

They all knew Bai Liezhao, but they didn't recognize him from a distance just now.

If they didn't recognize who he was, these guards would definitely rush forward and kick him out. After all, if anyone wanted to visit Shangguan Fusheng and Shangguan Yi, they needed to hand in a visit card in advance.

If Bai Liezhao had not sent the invitation and had come here suddenly, he would probably be regarded as a wealthy businessman who was asking for money, or a wealthy businessman who wanted to discuss business and flatter, and the Shangguan family would definitely not welcome him.

But when they saw it was Bai Liezhao, they were all happy.

Bai Liezhao didn't think too much about it. He nodded to the guards and hurried into the mansion.

Soon, a servant came forward and asked Bai Liezhao attentively: "Second Master, why did you come here suddenly today?"

"Oh, I'm here to pick up my seven nieces."

Bai Liezhao forced a smile at the servants below.

The servant immediately understood, and thinking of what Shangguan Fusheng had told him before, he immediately smiled at Bai Liezhao and said, "The young lady is in a very bad mood now, so the county lady and the princess are now in our young lady's room. Please go to our young lady's courtyard and have some tea in the main room."

"Our girl will bring the county ladies and princesses to the main house in person later."

Hearing this, Bai Liezhao nodded without thinking too much. After passing through the grand and beautiful, winding corridors, Bai Liezhao arrived at a beautiful courtyard with flowers, plants and trees everywhere.

The flowers here are rich in fragrance. Once you enter, it feels like you have entered a fairy tale world. There are rare flowers and plants everywhere, competing for beauty and blooming in full bloom.

Shangguan Yi even has exotic flowers and plants that are not even found in the imperial palace.

As soon as Bai Liezhao entered, he saw the maid smiling at him and leading him to the main room personally.

The maid smiled at Bai Liezhao and said, "It's the Second Young Master who is here. Please take a seat. Let's go and call the young lady, and then call the county ladies and princesses."

Bai Liezhao nodded and drank tea in the main room feeling a little uncomfortably.

As soon as he drank the tea, he felt something magical...

It turned out to be tea made from various flower petals.

As he tasted it, he actually felt a hint of sweetness and clarity, without any bitterness, and it was very memorable.

Bai Liezhao thought it tasted a bit good and took another sip.

Before I knew it, I had already finished three cups.

A gentle voice came: "Although this tea is good, sweet and delicious, don't drink too much. If you drink too much... I'm afraid you will get a sore throat."

"This is the hundred-flower tea I made. How is it? My craftsmanship is pretty good, right?"

Bai Liezhao was stunned. When he looked up, he saw a pretty girl standing in front of him.

The little girl looked at him with bright eyes and a smile on her face. It was Shangguan Yi.

"Haha, Miss Shangguan...um, where are my seven nieces?"

Bai Liezhao looked behind her and found that the seven girls were gone, only Shangguan Yi and himself were there.

Bai Liezhao suddenly felt uncomfortable. He had just drunk three cups of tea like a cow. His face turned red and his eyes became evasive when he looked at Shangguan Yi.

"..."

Seeing Bai Liezhao like this, Shangguan Yi just found it funny.

Shangguan Yi smiled at Bai Liezhao and said gently, "What are you looking at?"

"Why, you want the little moons to come over, but you don't want me to come over, do you look down on me?"

Bai Liezhao quickly shook his head, feeling a little embarrassed. He forced a smile and spoke to Shangguan Yi a little sheepishly.

"Well...I heard you were in a bad mood, so I came over to take a look."

"They are here to comfort you, right? What happened? What happened?"

Shangguan Yi listened to this, sighed inwardly, shook his head, and felt a little uncomfortable and uneasy.

It's just this thing...

It was none of Bai Liezhao's business, and she didn't treat him badly. She just smiled at him and said, "Nothing, nothing."

"Second Young Master, since you want to take them back, then go back. I will wake them up right away."

"...Oh, they are sleeping."

Bai Liezhao then realized that it was no wonder that it was Shangguan Yi who came instead of the seven little moons.

He quickly pulled Shangguan Yi over and said to her, "How about... let's talk for a while."

"But we can't wake them up so soon. Let them go to sleep. Then call them back to the Qingzhou prefectural government at dinner time."
