The wronged female supporting role made a comeback with a divine reply

Bai Hao: "Oh, he is the illegitimate grandson of Qin Ge's family."

Bai Zhaozhao: ...

"So you and the children of Guangping Marquis's family were assigned to the same room?"

Bai Hao: "Yes, that Qin Peng is next door to us. He is the luckiest one because there is an odd number of newcomers, so he has a separate room.

I was originally very low-key, and Bai Lin also told me not to cause trouble before I had established myself. But that Qin Peng was really annoying. He provoked almost half of the newcomers, and many people were afraid of him.

Today he insisted that I pour him water for washing his feet. I refused, so he said that I broke his things and insisted that I compensate him. In the end, everyone asked us to fight on the ring, because most disputes in the garrison are resolved in this way.

But I know that this is his purpose, he wants to be the flag bearer in charge of our team."

Bai Che immediately asked: "So you won? Then did you become the flag bearer?"

Bai Hao choked: "No."

Bai Zhaozhao seemed to be thinking about something. With such a high-ranking family background as Lord Qin, it was inevitable that he would have a few prodigal sons. It was normal to send them to the Yulin Guards to gain some experience.

But if they really wanted to secure a future for the younger generation in this area, they would not have let Qin Peng fight for the seventh-rank flag in such an offensive way, but instead use means such as winning over others. After all, not all the Yulin Guards are people with connections, and at least 60% of them have real talents and skills.

Therefore, Qin Peng should be here simply to gain experience in the Yulin Guard and will be transferred away in the future.

As for why he suppressed Bai Hao, it might be because he knew that Bai Hao was recommended by Prince An and wanted to please the elders of the Qin family.

Bai Zhaozhao asked unceremoniously: "Brother, what did you do to him?"

Bai Hao chuckled: "Don't worry, sister. I remember everything you said. I didn't reveal my innate power. It was just a simple duel. He also got bruised and battered like me. It's a draw."

Bai Zhaozhao rolled his eyes. "I asked you to hold back before because I was afraid you would damage the surrounding property and have to pay for it. Now we're in the ring and it's a draw? You don't need to pamper this guy in the future. Beat him up whenever you get the chance."

Bai Che was stunned: "Sister Zhao, is this...appropriate?"

Bai Hao was extremely delighted: "Sister, do you mean that I can be more high-profile?"

Bai Zhaozhao nodded: "It's not wrong to keep a low profile, but now people are targeting you. If you don't fight back in time, you will be bullied in the future. It's different here from Brother Bai Lin. The bigger the fist, the more powerful it is. Especially on the ring, as long as you don't cause trouble in private, it'll be fine."

Bai Hao suddenly realized: "I understand! You guys chat, I'm leaving first."

After saying that, Bai Hao took the medicinal wine and ran away happily.

Bai Che said, "Sister Zhao, the caravan is already familiar with the trade route to Yuzhou, and the grain you asked Chunyu to store in Linyang has also begun to be shipped. You are right, the court no longer allows grain to be sold at high prices, and Governor Hu has taken control of the garrison troops in Yuzhou. Although we don't make much profit, the name of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce has been established."

Bai Zhaozhao was very satisfied: "Thank you for your hard work, cousin Che. Apart from the food, just let Fourth Grandpa take care of the rest."

Bai Che hesitated a little: "It's already May, and it hasn't rained in Yuzhou yet, but the court sent Lord Ji to dig many wells there, so there may not be no harvest this year. We have stored so much food..."

"It's far from enough!" Bai Zhaozhao interrupted him. "No matter if Yuzhou has a harvest this year or not, we can't run out of food. I've asked Chunyu to stock up on food. As long as the Sihai Chamber of Commerce has a steady supply of food entering Yuzhou throughout the year, we can become the most trusted chamber of commerce by the people. Only then will we have a chance to attract the attention of the higher-ups. This is the best time for the fourth branch of the Bai family to rise!"

Bai Che was shocked. He had heard from his grandfather that this cousin was no ordinary person. He did not expect that after meeting her, he would feel such admiration for her. Not only could she use her prescriptions to exchange for low-priced grain from grain merchants, but she could also grow all kinds of rare medicinal herbs, which expanded her own caravan several times.

After calming himself down, Bai Che said, "Okay, I understand. I'll go and make arrangements tomorrow morning."

After Bai Che left, Bai Zhaozhao breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that no matter how many wells Lord Ji dug, they would not be enough. The weather over there would become increasingly drier. People wouldn't even have enough water to drink, so how could they irrigate the fields?

In any case, her previous arrangements were finally successful. In view of the prescription she gave, several grain merchants would provide a certain amount of food every month, and all she had to do was to add the stored grain to the space in the granary and hand it over to Bai Che from the fourth room.

If this continues, there should not be a large-scale escape from famine in Yuzhou. Those with money can buy affordable food, and those without money can rely on aid from the court.

The remaining issue is water. There are still wells available now, but in two months, when midsummer comes, the wells will slowly dry up. Having food alone will not be enough!

It seems that she has to find a way to go to Yuzhou, but she doesn't know whether Cheng Jiayu will appreciate her contribution this time.

"Zhao Zhao, Zhao Zhao, I tell you, there is big news!" Tang Yanyan's voice arrived before her people arrived.

Bai Zhaozhao's gossiping spirit suddenly emerged. There was nothing he could do about it. After hanging out with Tang Yanyan for a long time, he also liked listening to stories.

"What's the news? Sit down and talk slowly. There are melon seeds."

"Bai Hao was beaten!"

"..."

"You knew? I thought he was afraid to see you!"

"Then how did you know?"

"Humph, Changxing said so!"

"Why would Princess Changxing pay attention to Bai Hao?"

"It's not really a concern, it's just that Qin Peng is a toad who wants to eat swan meat. He knows that he is a reckless man and is not worthy of Princess Changxing, so he voluntarily becomes a... yes, a bootlicker! You used a really good word, I couldn't understand it at first, but now I think it's very vivid!"

"You mean to say that Princess Changxing showed her dissatisfaction with Bai Hao in front of Qin Peng, so he deliberately picked a fight with her?"

"Well, I guess so, but Changxing doesn't know Bai Hao at all. She expressed her dissatisfaction with you and me."

"...So Qin Peng didn't dare to touch you. He wanted to vent his anger for the princess because he knew Bai Hao was my brother?"

"Yes! That's why I came here specially to tell Bai Hao to be more careful in the future. Qin Peng is a fool and will only find faults to vent his anger. But if you cripple him, the Qin family will not let it go."

Bai Zhaozhao sneered, "I can save them even if they are crippled. Although the Qin family is indeed difficult to deal with, we are already on the opposite side. Being kind to the enemy is cruel to ourselves. It is better to let them know that we are not easy to mess with, so that they will be afraid and will not act rashly."

Tang Yanyan was stunned: "You are right! It seems that I can't always bear Changxing in the future."

"That's right, sister. As long as it doesn't come to the attention of His Majesty, don't spoil her. Just scold her when necessary!"
