Granny Shen quickly arranged for two old women and two servants with some martial arts skills to take Xu Bai out of the mansion.

When Granny Lu arrived after receiving the news, Xu Bai had already left. Granny Lu looked at the old lady and said weakly, "Old Madam, what are you doing? Aren't you afraid that people in the capital will laugh at us and the Qingping Marquis's Mansion?"

The old lady said, "If anyone's going to make fun of someone, it should be the Qingping Marquis's mansion. What are people in our mansion going to make fun of? It's just a loss of face. We're being bullied to the point of falling to the ground. What's the point of saving face? This time, I'm going to put the lady of the Qingping Marquis's mansion on the grill and roast her. Doesn't she love her face the most? Well, I'll tear it off and see what she does."

Granny Lu said, "Let's hope it doesn't get out of hand in the end."

The old lady sneered twice and said, "If it's not going to end well, then it's not going to end well. I've been staying at home all these years. Have you all forgotten what kind of person I am? Who have I ever been afraid of back then? I didn't even give face to the late emperor. A mere lady of a minor noble family wants to trample on my dignity. Who gave her the guts?"

Granny Lu knew the old lady's temper. Now that she was getting old, as the only daughter of the Marquis of Yongyi's family, and someone who had followed the Marquis of Yongyi to the battlefield to fight the enemy, how could her temper be good?

Xu Bai trembled with excitement at the thought of personally tearing apart the scoundrels. His bright eyes curiously gazed at the street scene outside the carriage, while his mind raced over and over what he would say to Cheng Kai when they met.

Cheng Kai was an imperial bodyguard with a sword. His daily duty was to stand guard in the palace and protect the emperor's safety at close range. He was one of the emperor's most trusted people, otherwise he would not have been allowed to walk around the palace with a sword.

Cheng Kai is currently the Left Deputy Commander of the Wuxiang Guard, a fourth-rank official. As the heir of a marquis's family, his ability to rise to the rank of deputy commander in the Wuxiang Guard, which is responsible for the emperor's personal guards, at such a young age is evident. In this vast capital city, many sons of noble families have entered the twenty-six guards, including the Yulin Guard and the Wuxiang Guard, which are personally commanded by the emperor. To stand out among these noble sons, one simply needs ability. It was because of Cheng Kai's abilities that the Marquis of Yongning married his eldest granddaughter to him.

Xu Bai stroked his chin, thinking about Cheng Kai. He had only met Cheng Kai when they got married, but Xu Bai was still a child then, barely able to walk, unlike his older brother who excelled in everything and left a deep impression. As for himself, he would probably have to introduce himself first when he met Cheng Kai this time.
