Chapter 489 Counter-Calculation
Marquis Rong'an planned to talk calmly and find out their true thoughts.
Liang Minglang was extremely annoyed.
He is not that free.
Why is the Rong'an Marquis Mansion always in trouble like a dog-skin plaster?
In the extremely private teahouse room, Marquis Rong'an was arrogant. When he saw Liang Minglang coming in, he subconsciously offered the food.
He knew he would come, doesn't this prove that his prediction was correct?
Little did they know that Liang Minglang wanted to make it clear to their family and told them to stop doing this.
"How is Xu? Is everything going well lately?"
“.”
Liang Minglang was a little dumbfounded when he heard him say this calmly.
Liang Minglang immediately flew into a rage: "Marquis Rong'an! Do you have any shame? Why are you asking about my wife?"
Rong'an Hou was also angry, his face dark and cold, "There are no outsiders here, why are you pretending? Go back and tell Xu that it's almost done. If she continues to make trouble like this, it's over. The more she acts like this, the less likely I am to recognize her. If she is obedient and submissive, I might consider accepting her. Although I can't recognize her publicly, it's not impossible for our two families to have some private exchanges."
"hehe!"
Liang Minglang didn't know what to say.
But if you don't say anything, who knows what ideas this weirdo will come up with?
"Marquis Rong'an is a prominent figure, and such despicable behavior is truly despicable! When did my wife ever say anything about whether she acknowledged him or not? Never! She was just telling you a story, aren't you making too much of it?"
"How come Marquis Rong'an thinks my wife is your daughter? Do you have any evidence? If not, it's just nonsense! If these words spread and ruin my wife's reputation, we will meet in front of the emperor."
"you!"
"What on earth is going on with Marquis Rong'an today?"
Marquis Rong'an was a little speechless.
He just said that Xu Zhichun was his daughter, and then turned around and asked Liang Minglang to marry Bai Jinfu, the niece of his Yue family?
However, he didn't let himself get bogged down for too long. Suddenly, he came up with a brilliant idea that would satisfy both parties: "Jinfu is a good girl. Why don't you marry her as your co-wife? With Jinfu as a cover, no one will think anything is wrong when Xu returns to her parents' home frequently. We're all family, so wouldn't it be nice if we could all live in harmony like this in the future?"
Liang Minglang looked at his shining eyes and happy expression, and he confirmed that he sincerely thought this was a good idea.
Liang Minglang just felt nauseous.
"Absolutely not!"
Liang Minglang was too lazy to say another word to him, so he stood up and left.
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer he would be unable to control himself and would hit someone.
Marquis Rong'an was even angrier than him. He slammed the table and cursed in frustration.
Unfortunately, Liang Minglang was too lazy to pay attention and left first.
"I'm so pissed! How ridiculous! How ridiculous!"
He was ignored again. Even though there was no one present, Marquis Rong'an still felt a burning embarrassment on his face.
This time, he saw clearly that Xu Zhichun and Liang Minglang really had no intention of recognizing their Rong'an Marquis Mansion at all.
He had already taken the initiative to bow his head and give them a way out. If they had the will, why would they still use Qiao at this time? Why not just follow through quickly?
The result is not.
This only shows that they really don't have this intention.
Ordinarily, Marquis Rong'an should have felt happy and relieved, but he wasn't.
Liang Minglang thought that the matter was over, after all, he had made his words very clear.
Unexpectedly, the Rong'an Marquis Mansion seemed to be under a spell of some evil spirit and had not given up yet.
They actually resorted to the stupid tactic of trying to force him into submission by making the matter a fait accompli.
Fortunately, Liang Minglang never let down his guard against anyone in the Rong'an Marquis Mansion. Even though more than half a month had passed since the incident, he would remain vigilant whenever he appeared in any occasion with anyone from the Rong'an Marquis Mansion.
Thus, he avoided the plot of Xue Han, the son of Marquis Rong'an, at a banquet at the home of the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War.
Liang Minglang had originally sent his trusted confidants to secretly keep an eye on Xue Han, so all of Xue Han's schemes seemed transparent to him. Before he even showed up, they had already jumped up again and again.
What are you fighting for?
Could it be that pitiful so-called "blood relationship"?
They wouldn't still think that as long as there is this so-called blood relationship, no matter what Zhichun and themselves say verbally, they would never dare to do anything to them in reality, right?
Liang Minglang is not going to get used to it. Since he still has illusions, he might as well break them first.
Liang Minglang played along with Xue Han, and he fell into the trap. He and his good cousin Bai Jinfu were caught red-handed when they were lying on the couch in dishevel. The scene was very chaotic for a while.
Bai Jinfu covered her face and screamed, crying loudly, while Xue Han was furious and cursed loudly, "The bastard named Liang has harmed me!"
However, Liang Minglang was no longer at the scene at this time.
Even if he was there, so what? He could even go up to Xue Han and slap him twice, scolding him for slander.
There was an uproar in the Rong'an Marquis's mansion.
The wife of Marquis Rong'an was crying, Aunt Bai was crying, and Bai Jinfu was crying even more. Xue Han was angry and resentful, while Marquis Rong'an's face was ashen.
Aunt Bai was determined not to let Bai Jinfu be a concubine. How could her daughter be a concubine? At this point, she cried, but she also knew that she had to fight for greater benefits for herself. She cried with the posture of a victim, and it was so sincere and heartfelt.
The wife of the Marquis of Rong'an was now in a real dilemma. On one side was her son, and on the other was her niece. She wanted her heart to be split in two, but everyone blamed her. No one was willing to understand her.
It would be useless even if she cried.
Besides, Aunt Bai and her daughter cried much louder than her, and her crying didn't even earn her any sympathy.
Xue Han has been engaged to be the youngest daughter of the Minister of Rites. This marriage was only arranged after Concubine Xue entered the palace. Otherwise, how could Xue Han, the daughter of a scholarly family and the Minister of Rites, be married?
The Rong'an Marquisate was very satisfied with this marriage and was proud of it.
Of course, it is impossible to cancel the engagement just because of Bai Jinfu.
Aunt Bai tried to commit suicide and refused to give in. Finally, the wife of Marquis Rong'an almost knelt down to beg her, and she reluctantly agreed to let Bai Jinfu be her concubine.
But she has conditions.
Bai Jinfu can officially marry into Xue Han's family after his wedding, but Xue Han's eldest son or daughter must be born to Bai Jinfu. After three to five years, Bai Jinfu must become his second wife. From the moment she marries him, Bai Jinfu's monthly allowance and all other benefits must be exactly the same as those of Xue Han's first wife.
The wife of Marquis Rong'an nodded in agreement, saying that she would definitely give the benefits, but she just had to keep it secret and not let Xue Han's wife know.
"A harmonious family brings prosperity, don't you think? You also hope that Jinfu can live a peaceful and stable life, right?"
