Chapter 472 Struggle

Although there was no third person present at the moment, General Meng still felt his face burning as if he had been slapped twice.

How, how could this be!

"roll!"

General Meng was furious and glared at the maid fiercely, kicking her. "Useless thing!"

The maid clutched her chest and groaned in pain, enduring the pain as she hurriedly climbed up from the ground. She didn't know why the general would call her "useless" when she was perfectly fine, and she didn't dare to ask.

The door was slammed open from the outside, and Madam Meng rushed in with a gloomy face. She glared at the maid and asked General Meng, "Why did my husband call this girl here?"

General Meng was startled. He felt uneasy at being caught. Besides, his wife was much younger than him, and he doted on her. After all, she was the daughter of a wealthy family. He always held himself in a low position in front of her. Being questioned by her made him feel even more guilty. He stammered and smiled, "No, nothing. I just asked her a few questions. Why is the Madam here?"

Madam Meng sneered, "How would I know what my husband is doing behind my back if I didn't come here? If my husband has anything to ask, why not ask me directly?"

General Meng couldn't help but imagine the scene of his wife being embraced by a lowly servant in the water. He felt irritated and aggrieved, but he didn't dare to turn against her. He forced a smile and said, "You are being too suspicious. I have nothing more to ask."

"Really?"

"Of course not!"

"Humph! You're smart!"

Seeing her relentlessly aggressive and overbearing, General Meng couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He thought, "She's clearly the one who's wronged me, so why is she still so arrogant in front of him? To put it bluntly, isn't it just relying on the power of the Leshan Marquisate? Fine, fine, everyone's bullying him because he's a lowly official with no authority, right?"

General Meng clenched his fists and finally suppressed the anger and resentment in his heart. Even if he was dissatisfied, he would never dare to do anything to his wife.

This is the girl from the Marquis's Mansion, the daughter of a wealthy family that he never dared to dream of before.

"Madam, go back and rest."

General Meng said this and left without looking back.

He had never treated Madam Meng like this before. Madam Meng was stunned for a moment, "You——"

Before she could finish her words, he had already walked away.

Mrs. Meng gritted her teeth and stamped her feet secretly, Bastard, bastard!

They all bullied her! They all bullied her and looked down on her! Even a thing like Meng Yuan dared to treat her like this.

Mrs. Meng's eyes were red and she was extremely angry.

The Rong'an Marquis's Mansion was even more lively. Aunt Bai was trying to commit suicide and crying like a tearful person, causing chaos in the whole household. Bai Jinfu was also terrified and anxious, with tears streaming down her face.

The mother and daughter, one throwing a tantrum and forcing the other begging sadly, left the wife of the Marquis of Rong'an helpless.

The wife of Marquis Rong'an was at a loss and in a panic. In the end, she was unable to bear it and had to tell the story of Bai Baoying's exile.

The wife of the Marquis of Rong'an naturally didn't dare to tell the real story. She and the Marquis had a tacit understanding that Xu Zhichun was the daughter of the Marquis's first wife, Mrs. An, and was the legitimate eldest daughter of the Marquis's family. She kept it to herself and would never tell anyone a word.

She had no choice but to put the blame on Liang Minglang and Xu Zhichun, saying that Liang Minglang was in a high position and had great power, and was a favorite of the emperor. He deliberately supported Xu and vented her anger. He strongly demanded that the Rong'an Marquisate not interfere in Bai Baoying's affairs, and even refused to give Baoying any money when he was exiled. The Rong'an Marquisate did not dare to disobey.

"He's a murderous demon, born into a soldier's family. He's a vicious, evil man. If he gets angry, he's capable of anything. Our Lord is a gentleman, so how could he dare confront him?"

"Empress Xuepin? After all, you are in the deep palace, how can you care about what's happening outside? If that devil is unhappy and secretly takes revenge, we can't bear it."

"I didn't tell you because I was afraid you wouldn't be able to bear the sadness. I didn't hide it from you on purpose."

"My dear sister, don't worry. No matter what he does, he will never dare to harm Baoying's life. It's only two years, it will be over soon. By then, Baoying will naturally come back."

"Don't worry, just wait a little longer. After a while, when they're no longer paying attention to this matter, I'll definitely send someone to find Baoying, give him some money, and send him servants to take care of him. Baoying is my nephew, how could I not feel sorry for him? I promise, I promise!"

Aunt Bai covered her face and burst into tears.

A legitimate nephew? He's not a legitimate son! No matter how much I feel sorry for him, it's just this much!

If it was her own son Xue Han who was exiled, would she still say and do the same? I'm afraid she would have tried everything to find a solution.

What's the difference between her and others? They just bully her orphan and widow.

"You shouldn't have hidden it from me, you shouldn't have hidden it from me."

"I—I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

The wife of the Marquis of Rong'an was also very upset, feeling like she was neither a good person nor a good person. She vaguely regretted that she should not have allowed the three of them to come to the capital. But she was her sister after all, and she wanted to help her and give her nephew and niece a good future.

Who knew that my nephew would be so disappointing, and who knew that he would run into that bastard An's child!

The wife of Marquis Rong'an thought about it and didn't know who to hate.

"Sister, can't you please ask Concubine Xue for help? You are the sovereign. No matter what happens, Marquis Wuxuan and his wife will never dare to disrespect you. With just a word from you, what can't be solved?"

Aunt Bai didn't give up and begged again.

The wife of Marquis Rong'an struggled internally for a moment, but still resolutely shook her head and refused.

"Sister, it's not that I don't want to. Concubine Xue's life in the palace isn't that easy either. We really can't cause her any trouble or embarrass her. Don't worry, as long as Concubine Xue and our mansion are here, Marquis Wuxuan will never dare to do anything extreme, and the officials escorting Baoying will never dare to act recklessly. If that child suffers a little, maybe he will improve."

Aunt Bai roared in her heart: If that's the case, why don't you let your own son grow up like this!

"I see."

Aunt Bai's tears fell again, she was distraught and struggled back to her residence holding her daughter's hand.

The wife of Marquis Rong'an wanted to help her, but she shook her hand away.

The wife of Marquis Rong'an was stunned, feeling helpless and embarrassed. She sighed and gave up.

Bai Jinfu was extremely anxious. If anything happened to her brother, her family would be completely left alone. Who would be willing to marry her? Who would support her after she got married?

"Mom, are we really just going to let it go like this? Are we really going to ignore my brother?"
