After the divorce, the pregnant belly was discovered by the ex-husband

Even though Bai Yiyao had a simple mind, she could still hear the threat. Of course, the conditions were too tempting, and it was impossible not to be tempted.

Yes, what Miss Ouyang said was right. It was just to let that damn girl get a divorce, not to let her die. Xuan'er was her biological brother. What was wrong with doing something for her biological brother? Wasn't that what she should do? Wouldn't she have to rely on her own brother in the future?

There is no reason to take advantage without paying anything in return.

This is all the little girl can do. She can't help with anything else. It's good enough that she doesn't hold back. She has done such a shameful thing and has already brought shame to the Fang and Bai families. Will she drag down her brother's reputation in the future? Is she still a human being? She is worse than an animal.

The more Bai Yiyao thought about it, the more she felt that this was the truth, and she felt that Ouyang Qian was right.

As for the second branch's attempt to seize the position of head of the household, she was hesitant.

However, she remembered Fang Yi's warning the night before and she hadn't seen Fang Yi in the past two days. She was confused and undecided for a while.

"How about this! Miss Ouyang, I'll go back and discuss this with my second master. After all, the man is the boss in the family."

"Okay. Nanny, see Mrs. Fang off."

"Yes, Miss. Mrs. Fang, please."

Bai Yiyao bowed to Ouyang Qian with a heavy heart, then went out in a daze.

"Miss, do you think the Fang family will agree? How are we going to explain today's events to Madam after we go back? You should have an idea in mind." The wet nurse was also worried. This matter could not be concealed. Madam's people would definitely report the truth to Madam when they returned.

But fortunately, they did not hear the conversation between the young lady and Mrs. Fang. Seeing the young lady's calm appearance, I think she must have a plan to deal with it.

"Yes, I will definitely agree. It's in my own interests. Let's go! Go back." Ouyang Qian was thinking in her mind how to deal with Mrs. Ouyang when she returned.

Bai Yiyao and Sister Li sat in the swaying carriage.

"Miss, what did Miss Ouyang tell you? Why are you so absent-minded?" It wasn't that she was talkative, but if it wasn't for her own life she wouldn't bother with such trivial matters.

This guy is prone to getting into trouble. It's better to ask her clearly so that she can be prepared.

"Go back to the Bai Mansion. I want to see my mother. I can't make up my mind about this matter." Bai Yiyao decided to go back and ask Old Madam Bai.

Sister Li stopped asking, thinking that she didn't need to know about the masters' affairs.

"Yes." Sister Li asked the driver to turn around and go back to Bai Mansion.

Speaking of which, the Bai family is even worse than the Fang family nowadays.

They are about to fall to the level of common people, only a little richer than the poor, but no more.

The Fang family is at least a lower-class family, but the Bai family will soon not even be considered a family.

In the past few years, the Bai family has been going from bad to worse. After Bai Yiyao's brother lost his job a few years ago, the Bai family has been relying on their business to make a living.

The Bai family can no longer afford to support servants, and each room is reducing the number of servants.

If this continues, I might just become a commoner in a few years.

Although Bai Yiyao felt guilty about bringing her son back to the Fang family, she had to go back.

Mrs. Bai is already 70 years old, but in Yan Country, she is considered middle-aged and just entering old age. She is very energetic and has the final say in the Bai family.

The Bai family is in a bad financial situation now, and there was only an old man who opened the door. When he saw that it was the young lady who came back, he quickly let Bai Yiyao in.

Bai Yiyao ran straight to her mother's yard.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Old Madam Bai sitting in the yard doing embroidery with two people beside her.

That’s right, the Bai family has become so poor that even the old lady has to earn money.

If you are so poor that you should just dismiss all the servants, then you will be completely out of the ranks of the noble family.

What should I do? The servants have to be paid. But who is Mrs. Bai? She has one evil intention after another.

The shrewd Mrs. Bai came up with an idea. Even servants have to earn money, just like the two around her!

They have to help Old Lady Bai embroider every day. They don’t know how much money they earn, because it is all exchanged for money by the Bai family.

Not only that, but the housework still had to be done. Just think about whether this old lady Bai was smart or not, and whether she had a lot of tricks. The wages paid every month were earned by the servants themselves, and there was still some left after deducting the wages.

The current situation is that the servants of the Bai family are supporting the people of the Bai Mansion. The few bites of food they eat are all earned by themselves.

The servants are also suffering. Their wages are almost the same as before, but their workload has more than doubled. Are they here to earn money or to support others in the Bai family?

They couldn't leave because the Bai family had signed a contract. Although it was not a lifelong contract, they couldn't leave before the time came. They could only swallow their anger.

Therefore, the Bai family still maintains the status of a noble family. After all, as long as they have servants at home, it means that the family is still together.

Since the Bai family couldn't afford to support so many servants, Old Madam Bai gave Bai Yiyao a few people and asked her to take them back to the Fang family.

They were all capable people she had trained personally. It would be a pity to dismiss them, but she couldn't afford to keep them, so she had to send them to the Fang family.

The Fang family not only pays for the support, but can also place their own people in the Fang family to gather information, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.

Anyway, Bai Yiyao needs help.

"Mother?" Bai Yiyao frowned. How could her mother do such a job? Has the Bai family reached this point?

The two waitresses bowed to Bai Yiyao and then left.

"Alas! Our Bai family has no income now. Do you think I want to do this kind of work? It's my fault that I have a miserable life." Old Madam Bai rolled her eyes at her daughter.

"It's because it's dark in the room and I can't bear to light a candle, so I can only embroider in the yard." As Mrs. Bai spoke, she embroidered a few more stitches.

How poor must they be if they can't even afford to use candles? Bai Yiyao was heartbroken.

"Mother, I have something very important to tell you. Very important." Bai Yiyao looked around and said mysteriously in a low voice.

She was on guard against her two sisters-in-law.

Although she is not very smart, she holds a grudge! Fang Yi betrayed her 15 years ago. She returned to her parents' home, but had to endure the looks of her two sisters-in-law.

If that person hadn't appeared later and given benefits to the Bai family, how could he have lived a peaceful life?

Therefore, she didn't want them to take advantage of good things.

"Let's go back to the house and talk." Old Madam Bai stood up slowly, pounding her waist and slowly standing up straight.

Bai Yiyao felt distressed! If this thing succeeded, she would not let her mother suffer anymore. She had to let Ouyang Qian do more good things.

After entering Mrs. Bai's bedroom, the mother and daughter sat down.

Bai Yiyao glanced around the room. The scene was shocking. A lot of the original furnishings were gone, and everything was bare. Was it all pawned? How long had she been away?

If it's like this here, the old lady, you can imagine what's happening in other courtyards.

"Mom, is the family in such a difficult situation?" Bai Yiyao asked in surprise.

"What do you think? You were already in bad shape when you were at home. If that person hadn't sent you some money from time to time, and our Bai family had borrowed some money from him, how could we have survived until now?

Now that you have returned to the Fang family, that person no longer sends money here, and our Bai family has only outflows and no income, so it is natural that this situation is like this."

Bai Yiyao: "..."

It turned out that the Bai family relied on her to make a living these years. Those two sisters-in-law owed her money, so why should they give her such a hard time?

Thinking of this, Bai Yiyao straightened her back a little.
