Bai Wanyi was still unhappy. She asked again, "Then why are all the people in the outer courtyard using Shaodao? Those comrades have followed the Marquis through thick and thin. It's fine if the banquets are different, but why are the drinks different too? What do you want those comrades to think of the Marquis? Are you making them think that the Marquis can only share hardships, but not wealth?"
Qi Jing looked at Lu Yan and found that he didn't say anything. She knew that he really wouldn't take the blame this time, so she didn't say anything either.
Seeing Bai Wanyi seize the housekeeper's power and send his concubine to prison in public on the first day of her marriage, Old Lady Lu was somewhat displeased.

Bai Wanyi still wanted to lose her temper, but she heard that she had to go to court, which was a big matter. If she delayed and Lu Yan was blamed, she would be implicated as well. So she stopped making a fuss immediately, followed Lu Yan obediently, and took Ping'er to say goodbye to the elders and leave.
Second Aunt looked at the backs of the three of them and shook her head: "After all, they come from a small family and cannot compare to Wan'er."
Third Aunt also said: "To publicly embarrass your husband and punish a concubine on such a day and in such an occasion is truly unbecoming."
Old Lady Lu glanced at the two of them and said coldly, "Alright! Go back to your courtyard! Disperse!"
