The queen died unjustly and was reborn as the empress.

This morning, Luo Duojin hurried into Yeyou Mansion, "Princess, something happened in the store."

Bai Lan was surprised and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Then Zheng Shaoke took our order, and seeing that tomorrow was the day of delivery, I went to his house today to check on the situation, but I didn't expect that last night, a fire burned down his warehouse, and all our goods were gone. "

"What, it's gone? Oh, what can we do? Take me to see it quickly." Bai Lan jumped out of Ye You Mansion with a smile. Ouch, I have been waiting for this day for a long time, just waiting for Zheng Shaoke to move all the cloth into the warehouse and then set the warehouse on fire.

Without those pieces of cloth, Zheng Shaoke couldn't deliver the goods. He had breached the contract, so she had every reason to ask him to compensate until he lost his fortune and until he lost his life to raise the bird Baimei.

Luo Duojin said softly happily: "Princess, hurry up and leave, we have to collect money again."

Bai Lan booked an elegant room in the teahouse and asked Luo Duojin to invite Zheng Shaoke.

Zheng Shaoke cried all night because of the fire in the warehouse. Today he came to see Bai Lan with disheveled hair and tears on his face. He walked into the teahouse and was invited into the private room by Luo Duojin.

In the private room, Bai Lan tapped her fingers on the table with a solemn expression. Seeing Zheng Shaoke come in, her face became even more serious, and she snorted coldly and turned away.

Zheng Shaoke crouched into the private room and said, "Princess, look, can this guy delay me for a while longer?"

Bai Lan's lips curled up, "How long does Boss Zheng think we should delay?"

Zheng Shaoke took out his hand, opened his fingers, turned over it, and looked troubled, "Ten days, how are you?"

Bai Lan was happy, "Ten days? Boss Zheng, I'm willing to wait for you for ten days, but the emperor can't wait. This batch of goods is going to be given to all the ladies and gentlemen in the palace, as well as all the palace people."

Bai Lan took a sip of tea and continued: "At the beginning, you came to me to ask for this business through Aunt Zheng's relationship. You kept saying that you would be able to deliver the goods as scheduled, and you also signed a letter, so I could safely hand over this business to you. you."

As she said that, she took out the document and said, "If you can't deliver the goods on time, how much will you have to pay five times the compensation?" Bai Lan glanced at Luo Duojin who was standing aside.

"Princess, if you calculate it five times, Boss Zheng will pay us thirty thousand taels of gold."

Zheng Shaoke took a sharp breath and almost lost it, "Princess, I really can't give you these 30,000 taels of gold." He, Zheng Shaoke, couldn't get out the 30,000 taels of gold even if the seller sold his land and went bankrupt.

"Can't you give it?" Bai Lan glared at him, "You mean, I have to shoulder this for you and go to the palace to plead guilty? Do you have to pay me for the money?"

"No, no, no, I would like to ask the princess to give me a few more days of grace." Zheng Shaoke looked over with a tentative look.

"Hmph, either deliver the goods on time tomorrow, or come up with 30,000 taels of gold tomorrow. If you can't get it out, I'll wait for Jingzhao Mansion to find you." After Bai Lan finished speaking, he left.

When Zheng Shaoke saw that Bai Lan was leaving, he gritted his teeth and knelt down. If he couldn't get what he wanted, he played the family card. "Lan'er, please help me this time because I am your in-law. I..."

Before he could finish his words, he was scolded, "How presumptuous! Which of my in-laws do you think you are? When did my Bai family have an in-law like you?"

Zheng Shaoke trembled. Could this road be dead? He is the natal family member of the concubine of the Bai family. The concubine is a descendant. The husband's family only recognizes the in-laws of the main wife, and he can only be regarded as an outsider. He understands this, but this is the only path he can take now.

"Princess, for the sake of your fourth sister, please let me go this time."

"If I let you go, who will let me go? If you can't hand it over tomorrow, you'll just wait to go to jail."

"Oh, you also have a niece, the concubine of the Moon Palace who can help you."

Bai Lan waved her hands and walked out of the teahouse, and returned to Ye You Mansion happily. After taking care of this guy, Baimei will no longer have backup, and Yunqin will no longer have military sponsorship. In other words, it would be good to add a blockage to them.

This road was very quiet, not even the soldiers patrolling the streets were seen. Bai Lan was puzzled. This time was not the time for shift handover, so why was there no one there? Did something happen and everyone gathered there? Or what happened?

Thinking of this, a group of guards came forward. She often walked around the streets, and a few times she was helped by the street-seeking soldiers. Why did she look at the soldiers in front of her in a very strange way.

Maybe there was a new person, Bai Lan didn't think much and lowered the curtain.

Here, Zheng Shaoke was still kneeling in the private room, thinking about the errand tomorrow. If he failed to deliver the errand in time, Yi Na Bailan would definitely take him to jail. He has supported Bai Mei so much in the past. Although this matter is difficult, it is not difficult for the Second Highness.

After thinking this, Zheng Shaoke got up and went to the Moon Palace. Arriving at the gate of Prince Yue's Mansion, the servant informed Bai Mei.

Since the death of Yang Mintian, Bai Mei's status in the Moon Palace has been rising rapidly. All the servants treat her according to the standards of a princess. Except for Yun Qin, she has the final say in everything in the palace.

When the servant heard that the person knocking on the door was the concubine's relative, he immediately welcomed her into the front hall with kind words. "Master, please wait a moment. I will go and invite the concubine here."

Zheng Shaoke sighed in his heart, if a concubine has such magnificence, then she will be a queen in the future. No wonder everyone is clamoring to become a queen.

Bai Mei was lying on the couch drinking blood swallow at this time. When she heard that Zheng Shaoke was coming, she was in a good mood. She kept part of the money he sent last time, and gave most of it to Yun Qin to buy military horses to please him. Now her money is starting to be tight again. I wonder how much her uncle has brought this time.

But why does my uncle need to come in person for such a trivial matter? He can just ask a servant to do it. Or, the things this time are valuable, so he has to deliver them in person to feel at ease. Bai Mei became more and more excited as she thought about it, and Xueyan put it aside and stopped drinking, urging her servants to help her go to the front hall to meet her uncle.

In the front hall, Zheng Shaoke was sitting on a chair and was anxious. Why was Bai Mei so slow? He had already drank two cups of tea.

A delicate voice came from outside, "Oh, uncle is here."

Zheng Shaoke looked up and saw his niece Bai Mei walking slowly towards him with a smile on her face, holding a small belly. "Meier, you are..."

Bai Mei smiled and said, "Mei'er is happy, and I'm looking forward to giving birth to a little prince for His Highness one day."

"Okay, okay, my uncle will be happy when Mei'er is happy." Oh, Bai Mei has the flesh and blood of His Highness the Second Highness. The Second Highness will help him no matter what he says this time. Besides, he has given a lot before. The combination of the two should not be a problem, and I immediately felt much relieved.

"Meier, uncle needs your help." On the way here, he thought about everything he wanted to say.

Bai Mei smiled and helped him to his seat, "Uncle, why are you so polite? Which firm is the business this time?" Every time Zheng Shaoke came to the Bai family and asked her for help, it was just to take over the business of which firm. Half of the money earned from doing this business would go into her pocket, so why wouldn't she do it.
