Chapter 473 Provocation

Aunt Bai gave her daughter a cold look and said, "Don't worry about it. I have my own ideas."

"mother--"

"Okay, go back to the house. Mother will find a way for you and your sister."

Bai Jinfu moved her lips, but she had a lot to say but didn't know where to start. She just nodded and walked away in a confused mood.

Her heart was actually desolate.

My brother's reputation is already ruined, and he's been sentenced to exile. Even if he comes back, what's the point? I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for me to marry into a good family.

But even so, having a brother is better than not having one.

The wife of Marquis Rong'an was very upset and couldn't help but exaggerate in front of Marquis Rong'an.

"That Xu deliberately brought up Baoying's exile in front of my sister. How could my sister bear such a shock? She immediately went crazy. She took her anger out on me, ripping my clothes and hair and making trouble. Look, my Lord, there are still scratches on my neck and the backs of my hands. I am simply ashamed to talk about what happened at that time! I am the wife of the Marquis, and I have lived a respectable life for most of my life. Who would have thought that in my old age, I would have suffered a setback and she would plot against me like this? I have truly lost half my life!"

The wife of Marquis Rong'an couldn't help but wipe her tears with a handkerchief. She was really extremely ashamed and angry. She had never felt so embarrassed in her life!

"It's fine if Xu hates me and wants revenge, but after all, it was my people who did something wrong and caused her to suffer innocently. As the master, I failed to control the people around me, so I can only accept her anger. But how could she be so disregarding of the reputation of the Rong'an Marquisate and not consider the Marquis's interests?"

"We can't and dare not interfere in Baoying's affairs. Doesn't she know the reason? She clearly did it on purpose! She wants to see me make a fool of myself and the Rong'an Marquis' Mansion become a laughing stock. She's seeking revenge."

"Does she still have the Marquis in her eyes and heart? I feel so sad for him. I think it's not worth it for him!"

The wife of Marquis Rong'an was filled with resentment. She had lost face so much today, and she didn't know how long people would talk about her as a joke. Concubine Xue had become the empress dowager's savior and had entered the palace with the empress dowager's favor. Even her son had been given an official position with an idle job. The Marquis Rong'an Mansion was about to rise. Who knew how many people were secretly envious, envious that the good days of the Marquis Rong'an Mansion were yet to come!

But I didn’t expect such a joke to happen today!

Rong An Hou was shocked and angry, and couldn't believe it: "Is everything you said true?"

"How could I lie to the Marquis about this?"

"Rebellious girl, this rebellious girl! How dare she!"

"She probably hates the Marquis in her heart! She resents the Marquis for not letting her return to her ancestral home."

"She's dreaming!" Rong'an Hou roared, "She's been in a brothel before, she's not clean anymore. Doesn't the Rong'an Hou Mansion have any shame? Even Concubine Xue in the palace cannot be implicated by her! She doesn't even understand such a simple truth? How can she be so selfish!"

Don't think that just because she is the wife of Marquis Wuxuan, she is so arrogant that she knows nothing.

Given her past, any man like Wuxuan Hou would not be indifferent or disgusted by it, but he only tolerated her in order to establish a good image and be praised by others.

He might divorce her one day.

"My Lord! Our Rong'an Marquisate is really going to be destroyed by her!"

"She dares! She's not afraid of being struck by lightning!"

The wife of Marquis Rong'an sobbed even more painfully, but she was secretly happy in her heart.

That idiot Xu, even if she took revenge on me, what would that do? The more she made a scene, the less likely she would be to return to her roots. In the end, she would be the one who suffered.

After this incident, she still wants to return to the Marquis' Mansion, which is even more wishful thinking.

Finally, she felt a little better.

Marquis Rong'an was furious and cursed, and ordered Matron Yu, the confidant of Marquis Rong'an's wife, to go to Marquis Wuxuan's mansion and convey a message to Xu Zhichun.

When Nanny Yu hurried to the Marquis of Wuxuan's mansion, Ji Yingxuan was also there. The four of them were talking when Liang Minglang said in disgust, "The Meng family just left and the Xue family is here again? Are they here to call for punishment again? Ignore them and just chase them away."

Lu Yin immediately looked at Xu Zhichun with guilt, "Sister Xu, I've caused you so much trouble."

"Stop saying that," Xu Zhichun said with a smile, "We are family, and we have helped each other. Why don't you tell me how much you have helped me? Let's work together to bring down the Rong'an Marquis Mansion. Don't say such things again."

Without Lu Yin, there would be no Xu Zhichun.

All three of them laughed. That was true.

Xu Zhichun stood up and said, "I'll go and listen to what she has to say."

Lu Yin: "I'll go too, but I won't show up."

"OK."

Seeing Xu Zhichun stepping into the small flower hall alone, Yu Ma was quite satisfied and her expression became even more arrogant.

As someone who knows the inside story, she has a mysterious confidence in front of Xu Zhichun.

It was as if Xu Zhichun was a poor man who was begging humbly and trying to find his roots and return to the marquis's mansion, while she was the high-ranking decision-maker who held her future in his hands.

Nanny Yu curled her lips, her eyes filled with disdain. She approached Xu Zhichun and lowered her voice coldly, saying, "The Marquis has asked this old servant to tell Madam that if you still want to recognize your ancestors, you should be quiet and honest. The Marquis does not like people who do not follow the rules. Madam, don't forget whose blood flows in your body. If you can't return to the Marquis' Mansion, do you have to be a rootless duckweed for the rest of your life? As long as Madam is honest and obedient, even if the Marquis is not convenient for you to recognize her now, he will naturally benefit from her in secret! But if Madam continues to be stubborn, don't blame the Marquis for being cold and ruthless."

Xu Zhichun glanced at her and said, "Oh, how can they be so cruel and ruthless?"

Nanny Yu snorted, becoming even more proud. "Concubine Xue in the palace is deeply favored by the Empress Dowager and is her savior. The Emperor is filial and now has no children. Concubine Xue may have great fortune in the future. Madam, what do you think, if Concubine Xue wants to do something, what can you do? If you dare to disrespect our Marquis' wife again, Concubine Xue may not be able to get through. Concubine Xue is very filial to our Marquis' wife!"

"Besides, do you think Marquis Wuxuan really has deep feelings for you?"

"What's the meaning?"

"Hmph, how many men in this world don't love power and wealth? With power and wealth, who wouldn't want to marry a truly noble lady? Even if Marquis Wuxuan tolerates you now, he may not in the future. Without the support of a powerful family, who knows when someone like you will 'pass away'? Who would care? You'll just have to accept whatever Marquis Wuxuan says."

Xu Zhichun nodded in agreement, "That's indeed the truth."

For example, the wife of General Meng was a sober and strong person. She refused to be a concubine and would rather take a divorce letter to completely cut off the past.
