Chapter 457: Forcing Rong An Hou to Come
Aunt Bai thought about it and felt angry. If she had such a backer, why didn't she tell me earlier? If she had told me earlier, nothing would have happened.
I just won’t tell you.
When she thought about her son falling into the hands of Madam Xu, all the old and new hatreds would come together. Madam Xu would definitely instigate her husband to take vengeance. Wouldn't her son be tortured to death by them?
Aunt Bai felt heartbroken thinking about others.
It's so scary.
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. She couldn't stop crying and begged for mercy.
The wife of the Marquis of Rong'an finally understood what had happened. She hurriedly had her sister helped up and tried to comfort her, sighing, "How could this be such a coincidence? This is too much of a coincidence!"
She didn't know anything about this.
It's not surprising. This is a very embarrassing thing, so it's normal for them to keep it a secret.
After finally convincing Aunt Bai, Lady Rong'an sighed, "If that's the case, we should just go and apologize. Madam Liang hasn't been hurt, after all. Could she still be so stubborn over such a trivial matter? If that's the case, they'd be in the wrong."
Aunt Bai agreed repeatedly and took the initiative to say that she had a few valuable things in her hands and asked her sister and brother-in-law to help see if they were suitable to use as an apology.
Aunt Bai wanted to go immediately, but it was obviously not appropriate anymore and she had to wait until the next day at the earliest.
The next morning, the wife of the Marquis of Rong'an had no choice but to hold her nose and bring Aunt Bai and Bai Jinfu to apologize with generous gifts.
Unexpectedly, they couldn't even enter the gate of Wuxuanhou Mansion.
Steward Zhang came out with six imposing guards to take over the matter. He said in a cold and arrogant voice, "Don't go too far, Marquis Rong'an. If you don't have complete sincerity, don't come! Our wife is also a marquis' wife, and her status is there. Young Master Bai, a commoner, insulted a court lady in the street and even ordered the servants to beat her up. Madam Rong'an, please reconsider what sincerity means."
After Butler Zhang finished speaking, he didn't care whether they were angry or angry, and didn't give them a chance to speak. He went straight back to the house and closed the door with a "bang".
The wife of Marquis Rong'an was so angry that she fell backwards.
Having been in a high position for so long, she has forgotten the last time she was treated like this, or perhaps it was never.
Now that I am old and about to become a grandmother, I have to endure this humiliation.
Aunt Bai was also ashamed and angry: "Bullying! This is too much bullying! We have already come to her house to apologize in person, what else does she want? Does she want us to kneel down and beg her? Fine, fine, I'll kneel right now! As long as it can save my son, I will kneel."
Aunt Bai choked with sobs and was about to get off the carriage and kneel.
Bai Jinfu hurriedly pulled her back, "Mom, calm down!"
"Your brother doesn't even know how to be bullied and abused, how can I stay calm!"
Mrs. Rong'an frowned and said, "Don't worry, sister. Let's go back first."
"But--"
"Let's go, let's go back first. Don't worry, they won't dare to do anything to Baoying."
"Sister, I'm still worried. Since they have an old grudge against Baoying, who knows how they'll torment him. What should I do? What does the wife of Marquis Wuxuan want?"
"There's no point in worrying. At least the Rong'an Marquisate isn't just for show. They won't dare go too far. Let's go back and discuss this first."
The wife of Marquis Rong'an couldn't help feeling a little depressed. She hadn't seen her sister for many years, and she had somehow developed the temper of a shrew.
What does "get down and kneel" mean? Did she really want to get off the carriage and kneel down in the Marquis of Wuxuan's mansion? Would she have to go through a whole set of singing, reciting, acting, crying, and begging?
What did she think this was?
Did she think that by making herself look so miserable and attracting passersby to gather around and watch, she could force the wife of the Marquis of Wuxuan to come out and see her? Could she force the wife of the Marquis of Wuxuan to agree to her request?
Does she know that this is impossible?
Not to mention that if she did this, she and the Rong'an Marquisate would become a laughing stock in the community. Were the people in the Wuxuan Marquisate not talkative? Were the things Baoying did truly honorable? If a quarrel arose, how could she think she would be right?
joke!
Furthermore, if this happened, Marquis Wuxuan and his wife would definitely be angry with their family. Although their family might not be afraid of them, if the two families became enemies because of such an incident, it would be too costly and too frustrating.
How would other families in the circle view the Rong'an Marquisate? To call them "scoundrels" was an understatement.
From now on, who would think twice before interacting with them? Who wouldn't be afraid that if a conflict arose one day, they would cause a commotion like this? Who wouldn't have any dignity left?
Kneeling at someone else's doorstep and wailing loudly to deliberately squeeze and oppress others is a disgrace to anyone who does it, at least in the circle of powerful people in Beijing.
Marquis Rong'an's wife brought Aunt Bai and her daughter back to the mansion. Marquis Rong'an was stunned: "Why—are you back so soon?"
Marquis Rong'an's wife sneered and repeated Butler Zhang's words, "He's really putting on so much airs. I wonder what he's up to!"
Marquis Rong'an's face also darkened, and he understood what An was thinking.
They wanted to force him to come forward and ask him, the marquis, to come in person.
"Humph, they probably want me to come here in person."
How can this be possible?
Marquis Rong'an was shaking with anger!
Even though they were both marquises, Marquis Rong'an believed that he was much more noble than Marquis Wuxuan, who was just a peasant and a general. Besides, he was their elder, so how dare they ask him to bow down?
Just for such a small thing?
Bai Baoying is not even from their Xue family!
Rong An Hou laughed in anger: "Sure enough, he has no good intentions!"
Aunt Bai looked at him nervously: "Brother-in-law, this..."
Aunt Bai didn't dare to ask him, a marquis, to bow to others, so she looked at her sister pleadingly again.
The wife of the Marquis of Rong'an was also very annoyed. Wasn't her status as the Marquis' wife enough? Were the Marquis of Wuxuan and his wife too arrogant and self-righteous?
Why should they?
How dare you make the Marquis bow his head?
The wife of the Marquis of Rong'an gritted her teeth and said, "I'm just sending a visiting card, just a normal visit. I want to see if Madam Liang will also refuse me entry."
As long as she meets someone, she will naturally have something to say.
Marquis Rong'an: "Then let's do it this way for now."
Aunt Bai hurriedly said, "Then let's go now, sister. I'll go with you."
The wife of the Marquis of Rong'an comforted him, "Don't worry. I'll send someone to send a letter today, saying I'll visit tomorrow. I'll go tomorrow after they receive the letter and reply. I'll go alone tomorrow, so you just wait at home."
"But."
"Don't worry, Baoying will be fine."
"Um"
Although Aunt Bai was extremely anxious, she was just a guest at the hotel and there was nothing she could do.
She was very dissatisfied with the many messy and broken rules in the capital. Didn't this just delay things?
