Chapter 463 Aunt Bai is shocked
Aunt Bai's patience had almost completely vanished by the time she returned to the Rong'an Marquis's residence. She couldn't help but ask, "Sister, what exactly did the Marquis Wuxuan and his wife say? What exactly do they want? When can I go and get Baoying back?"
The wife of the Marquis of Rong'an was in great pain and could not speak.
Aunt Bai panicked and kept asking questions. She was so anxious that she didn't care anymore. "If you don't tell me, I will go to Wuxuanhou Mansion and ask them myself. My Baoying can't suffer any more."
Marquis Rong'an had no choice but to speak up: "A country has its own laws, and a family has its own rules. Baoying has done something wrong and has openly caused trouble. We must deal with him according to the law. Otherwise, how can the Marquis Wuxuan Mansion let it go? I'm afraid we won't be able to take him back."
"What!"
Aunt Bai was shocked and burst into tears, "Sister, is this true?"
The wife of the Marquis of Rong'an breathed a sigh of relief, finally not having to say such embarrassing words herself. Seeing her sister like this, she felt sorry for her and quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, whether it's the Marquis of Wuxuan's Mansion or the government, they will definitely give us some respect. Baoying's life is definitely safe."
Marquis Rong'an said coldly with a stern face, "This is the capital, the powerful and wealthy are everywhere. Even our mansion is not something that anyone can afford to offend. Who told you to keep an eye on him? It's no use regretting it now."
Aunt Bai burst into tears and shouted that she wanted to go and ask Marquis Wuxuan and his wife for help. Marquis Rong'an's wife and the nanny hurriedly stopped her and comforted her.
Marquis Rong'an was so annoyed by her crying and shouting that he snapped, "Go! Go if you're capable! If Marquis Wuxuan and his wife were really that easy to persuade, how could we return empty-handed? How do you think you can convince them? If you end up making things worse and angering them, I can't guarantee what will happen to Baoying."
Aunt Bai's face turned pale with fright, and most of her resentment instantly turned into fear.
"Why are they so petty? I'm willing to pay compensation, to apologize in person, is that not acceptable?"
The wife of the Marquis of Rong'an sneered, "They are cold-faced and cold-hearted. When these villains are successful and rampant, they naturally look down on everyone."
"Then what about my Baoying! What about my Baoying!"
“.”
Aunt Bai finally grasped the key point and looked at her sister anxiously, "What will happen to Baoying if they refuse to let him go?"
The wife of Marquis Rong'an paused, she didn't understand either.
Marquis Rong'an knew everything, but he changed his mind and decided to tell everything at once, as Aunt Bai would have to know anyway.
"According to the law, he should be caned and exiled."
"What!"
Aunt Bai's eyes rolled back and she fainted, and the Rong'an Marquis's Mansion was in chaos.
Aunt Bai slowly woke up, she didn't even have the strength to cry, nor did she dare to make a fuss, let alone feel resentful. She just begged the wife of Marquis Rong'an to save her son.
She's willing to do it no matter what the cost.
Exile? Exile! She didn't dare to think about it.
She had raised her son with luxury and pampering, like a phoenix egg. She felt heartbroken when he encountered any bumps or bruises in his daily life. How could he endure the hardship of exile?
The wife of Marquis Rong'an was filled with heavy bitterness and heartache. She didn't dare to tell Aunt Bai at all. Not to mention rescuing Baoying, the Marquis' Mansion couldn't even provide any help on Baoying's way to exile!
The Marquis Wuxuan's Mansion might send people to keep an eye on them. If they dare to help, the Marquis Wuxuan's Mansion might secretly take action.
It is much easier to secretly harm someone and cause trouble than to protect them.
If it were any other family, they would definitely not do such a ruthless thing, but it was hard to say for the Wuxuan Marquis Mansion. Madam Liang must have been filled with hatred.
That bitch shouldn't have left this trouble in the first place.
The wife of Marquis Rong'an had no choice but to comfort him again and again, and vowed that she would definitely not ignore Baoying and would definitely not let Baoying suffer. The other party was angry at the moment, and there would definitely be a turning point when the time was right.
But at the moment, we must not provoke or stimulate them again, otherwise the wife of Wuxuanhou will be enraged, and the situation will only get worse.
Aunt Bai didn’t know whether she heard it or not. She just shed tears, as if her heart was dead, and stopped making a fuss.
The maid came to invite the wife of Marquis Rong'an, saying that the Marquis wanted to see her about something and asked her to come over immediately.
The wife of Marquis Rong'an had no choice but to ask her niece Bai Jinfu to take good care of her mother and left.
The wife of Marquis Rong'an breathed a sigh of relief and became fully alert.
Of course she knew why her husband wanted to see her, so she had to focus and respond carefully.
In the living room, as soon as the wife of Marquis Rong'an and her servants entered, Marquis Rong'an shouted, "Everyone get out! No one is allowed to come in!"
The nanny and the maid were startled. They glanced at the wife of Marquis Rong'an and quickly bowed and retreated.
The wife of the Marquis of Rong'an sat down and asked, "How can the Marquis be so magnanimous?"
Marquis Rong'an sneered, threw the token he had taken back from Marquis Wuxuan's mansion in a rather humiliating manner in front of her, and asked coldly, "Are you not going to explain?"
"You'd better think it over before you answer. Who did you send to do this dirty work? I'm sure I can find out. And the maids around you, were they involved? Think carefully about whether they can withstand torture."
"Torture? Lord, why do you have to do this? Lord, since you have already made up your mind, why do you need to ask me again?"
"So you admit it?"
"What am I admitting? Nanny Lan served me all my life and begged for mercy to return to her hometown to retire. But she saw that Xu and thought she looked exactly like Sister An when she was young, so she wrote to me and told me about it. I sent someone to inquire about it, just to get to the bottom of it. I didn't do anything else."
"Xu's adoptive parents died unexpectedly. It was their own bad luck, but it just happened that my people were there at that time. What does this have to do with me? Could it be that I made these arrangements because of what Nanny Lan said? What kind of person am I then?"
"Xu's being sold has nothing to do with me. Her parents are gone, and her uncle and aunt are greedy and want to wipe out the family. This is not uncommon among the people. You can't blame me just because it happened by chance."
"My people did investigate her, but at most they just stood by and watched. What's wrong with that? You can't blame me for standing by and watching, right? Can we really be sure of Xu's identity now? There are many strange things in the world. Xu does look a bit like Sister An, but that doesn't mean she's Sister An's child."
"My Lord, are you going to doubt me just because of a few provocative words from them?"
"Who knows if this is a trap set by Marquis Wuxuan? My Lord, if you don't think about the Marquis's mansion, you should also think about Concubine Xue in the palace."
Marquis Rong'an hesitated for a moment. Marquis Wuxuan and General Xie were the emperor's confidants, but Concubine Xue accidentally saved the empress dowager, and the empress dowager liked her. To show his filial piety, the emperor took her into the harem and made her a concubine as soon as she entered the palace.
