Chapter 487: High Self-esteem
This time, the wife of Marquis Rong'an planned to bring 600 taels of silver to Concubine Xue. After taking a look at the official accounts of the Marquis's Mansion, she couldn't help but feel angry. If the three most profitable shops were still there, the monthly income would be considerable, so why would they be so nervous now?
The wife of Marquis Rong'an came to the palace to meet her mother and daughter. Before she had time to complain, she was stunned when Concubine Xue mentioned Bai Jinfu's marriage.
“Is this, is this also possible??”
She hated everything about Xu Zhichun, including Marquis Wuxuan.
It was really that Marquis Wuxuan had no respect for their mansion at all. He knew clearly that they were all his elders, yet he still dared to do so. How could this not be disgusting!
Seeing her mother like that, Xuepin smiled triumphantly and told her mother her plan.
The eyes of the wife of Marquis Rong'an became brighter and brighter.
Although she still disliked Wu Xuanhou and still thought that he was extremely annoying, it would be a great thing if she could control him and make him obedient, and then she could hold her head high in front of him, right?
More importantly, that bitch Xu will be in trouble!
The wife of the Marquis of Rong'an sneered, "In this case, it would be great if the Xu family could no longer stay in the capital!"
As the daughter of the An family, she should be humble and confined to the dust. Why would she come to the capital and be an eyesore to her?
"Needless to say?" Concubine Xue also smiled complacently. "Mother also thinks that Marquis Wuxuan won't refuse, right?"
The wife of the Marquis of Rong'an snorted disdainfully: "Reject? Would he be willing to do that? He's not stupid."
The mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled.
Full of confidence.
The mother and daughter were not worried at all that Liang Minglang would refuse. Instead, they were more worried about whether Aunt Bai and Bai Jinfu would agree.
Especially Aunt Bai, it can be said that Baoying was completely harmed by Marquis Wuxuan - if he was not Marquis Wuxuan, Baoying would not have been sentenced so severely.
It may not be easy to convince Aunt Bai to accept this.
And Jinfu may not be willing to compromise.
The mother and daughter discussed for a long time how to convince Aunt Bai and her daughter.
Sure enough, when the wife of Marquis Rong'an mentioned this matter, Aunt Bai's face immediately changed drastically, and she became furious and cursed.
The Marquis of Rong'an had expected her to react strongly, but she hadn't anticipated such a strong reaction. Her words, sharper than a knife, provoked her into a rage. The two sisters engaged in a violent argument that nearly came to a head.
It was only after Bai Jinfu tearfully tried to reconcile them that the two sisters managed to regain some of their sanity.
The wife of Marquis Rong'an hated Xu Zhichun so much and wanted to see him in trouble, so she appealed to his emotions and reason, and tried all kinds of persuasion and temptation.
What finally moved Aunt Bai was that she suddenly had an idea and said that if Bai Jinfu and Wuxuan Hou were successful, would Baoying still need to be exiled?
When the time comes, if Bai Jinfu says a few nice words and pleads for mercy, will Marquis Wuxuan still be able to refuse?
Aunt Bai can refuse a thousand and one reasons, but she can never refuse this one.
When it comes to her only child and lifelong support, Aunt Bai can't take care of anything else.
"He got it easy! Although that man has a poor background, he's still worthy of my Jinfu. In that case, let me handle this matter. I have only one request: our Jinfu must not be wronged. By the time my Jinfu enters the family, that Xu must have been dealt with. Even if she's willing to be a concubine, that's not allowed! My Jinfu won't be sisters with that kind of person."
It was a blessing for Liang Minglang to marry Jinfu from his family, and he should never take a concubine in this life.
The Marquis of Rong'an didn't think there was anything wrong with what her sister said. She nodded and smiled, "Of course. How could we let our Jinfu suffer any injustice? A good girl like our Jinfu deserves the best. If she's willing to marry him, he's doing her a great favor!"
Aunt Bai finally smiled. What she said was so true.
Bai Jinfu lowered her head, her fingers aimlessly fiddling with the corners of her clothes, without saying a word.
She was at a loss. Was she willing? Was she unwilling? She didn't know.
It doesn’t seem to be impossible.
She knew very well that what her aunt said was right. It would be impossible for her to find a good marriage now that she was implicated by her mother and brother. In comparison, this was almost the best choice.
After she got married, she became the Marquis's wife. Although she was a concubine, it was actually nothing.
At night, the more Bai Jinfu thought about it, the better she felt this marriage was. Her heart began to beat fast, and she secretly began to look forward to it.
The relationship between the Rong'an Marquisate and the Wuxuan Marquisate was very strained. Besides, it was not common for a woman to pursue a man, so the Rong'an Marquisate would naturally not be so cheap as to actively promote their daughter to Liang Minglang.
Xue Han, the eldest son of the Rong'an Marquis Mansion, found General Meng.
General Meng had the closest relationship with Liang Minglang, and he also remarried, whose situation was similar to Liang Minglang's.
It would be great if he could persuade Liang Minglang.
General Meng was surprised and happy.
He was surprised that the Rong'an Marquisate actually took a fancy to Liang Minglang. He was happy that if this matter succeeded, he would see how Liang Minglang would talk nonsense in front of him in the future, and how he would intentionally or unintentionally reveal his disdain for him.
Then he will naturally not distance himself from me anymore.
General Meng knew very well that if he wanted to make further progress faster, the best way was to have Liang Minglang's support and guidance.
But he doesn't give himself any chance now.
At that time, can he still refuse?
General Meng couldn't help feeling a little jealous, jealous that Miss Bai was in a better condition than his wife.
Why didn't the Rong'an Marquis Mansion take a fancy to him in the beginning?
When General Meng invited Liang Minglang to dinner, Liang Minglang originally refused, but he didn't know what was wrong with this man. It was as if he couldn't see his eyes at all and he insisted on treating him.
Even though their relationship was not as close as before, they were colleagues after all, and on the surface they were still friends. General Meng seemed to not understand his intentions and insisted on inviting him. Liang Minglang didn't want to break up with him, so he had to go along with him.
The two of them were eating and drinking in the restaurant, and Liang Minglang was always vigilant and restrained.
He was sure that General Meng must have something to say.
After three rounds of drinks, General Meng rambled on about a thousand things, finally subtly suggesting Liang Minglang marry someone else. It was all the same old talk, all about how it was for Liang Minglang's own good, his future, how he could have been promoted faster, had a more carefree life, and expanded his network, and how he deserved better, that Xu's background was simply not good enough for him.
Liang Minglang was furious.
He didn't expect that more than half a year later, when he thought everything had calmed down, someone brought up the topic to him again.
They are brothers who once had a life-and-death friendship.
He wanted to get angry on the spot, but he held himself back.
He was really curious. Why did General Meng bring up this matter again after so long? What had happened?
