As Bai Zhiyue became more and more powerful, he became less and less willing to act like a marquis in front of her. Often, a glance from her would frighten him. He didn't know whether it was because he was guilty or timid, or because he knew that he was infertile and couldn't be a man in front of her.
At midnight, he sent Doudou into the space and quietly left the Marquis' Mansion.
The lights in the Rong Mansion were bright at this time, and Rong Jinghe was sitting in the yard beating someone.
Yesterday, Rong Yang was arrested and taken to Yingtian Prefecture, and later transferred to the Dali Temple. Rong Jinghe, despite the pressure of being ridiculed, went to Yingtian Prefecture and the Dali Temple to ask for a meeting. In the end, he paid three thousand taels and was able to see his father.
"Why was Dad arrested?"
"That bitch Bai Zhiyue has absolutely no regard for the law. If I hadn't spoken up, she would have dismantled me right there. There's no point in saying this now. I'm afraid I'll be exiled this time. Contact them and ask them to secretly rescue me. As long as I survive, I'll fight back to the capital, and then I'll cut the Changping Marquisate and the Bai family into pieces."
"I'll contact you when I get back!"
"Pack up the family's belongings and move everything that can be taken away. Please help arrange for my new concubines. The Rong family cannot be without descendants."
He finally told it out. There was no way he could get out. He didn't know if his hard work during this period would be fruitful. What if it was? So he had to protect those concubines.
The veins on Rong Jinghe's hands were bulging. He never expected that during the time he was depressed, his father actually took three concubines.
Oh, have I been abandoned?
He trembled and gritted his teeth.
"I'll make arrangements, don't worry, Daddy."
Everyone in the mansion knew that they were probably beyond help. Taking advantage of the lack of authority in the mansion, many people packed up their belongings, stole back their indentures, and even took the mansion's property and tried to escape.
When Rong Jinghe came back, he saw chaos in the mansion.
Some were carrying heavy bags, evidently filled with valuables. Others were carrying tightly packed parcels, surely containing valuables. Some were fighting over a piece of jewelry.
"What are you doing?"
"Master, why are you back?"
"Why do I have to wait until you have emptied the house before coming back?"
It’s a good idea, but you can’t say it that way.
"We're just sorting..."
Put down the heavy silver ingot in your bag first.
"Humph, even though the Rong family has fallen, I am still your master and can still deal with you."
He drew his sword and stabbed to death the two men who had just been fighting over the valuable ornaments.
"Those who steal the master's property will die! Who else?"
Everyone, including the two new concubines, dropped the things in their hands and knelt down to beg for mercy, as if they were holding something hot.
"Go teach them a lesson!"
Several more loyal servants took sticks and beat them one by one, even the two old men's new concubines were not spared.
Humph, he would better arrange and protect it. Not selling it to the building is the greatest tolerance he can have.
He looked at the two young and beautiful concubines with a gloomy face. He had lost his ability as a man, but the old man took concubines one after another in the delusion of having a son. Why?
"Two concubines committed adultery and stole the mansion's property to support a stranger. They should be beaten to death!"
The two concubines stared with wide eyes. The young master actually accused them of such a crime.
"No, Master, you can't do this to us."
"We are the master's concubines and you have no right to dispose of us. We want to see the master!"
"You haven't blocked your mouth yet, do you want me to block it?"
The other new concubine knelt on the ground trembling, feeling lucky that she was too timid to steal anything, because at least she saved her life.
When Bai Zhiyue arrived, Rong Jinghe had just returned. Taking advantage of the chaos in the mansion, she first went to Rong Yang's study. She searched everywhere for a long time but couldn't find what she wanted.
She was knocking on the wall when suddenly a little mouse appeared, staring at her with two small eyes.
"Why are you knocking? It's so rude, don't you know? You don't knock around in someone's house and disturb their privacy."
Bai Zhiyue felt inexplicably embarrassed
"I'm looking for the important documents that old man Rong Yang left in the house. Sorry to bother you."
"Hey, you can understand me. I'll let it go since we're one of the same kind."
You can go to its similar
"I just understand what you're saying."
"No matter what it is, anyone who understands us is a friend. You're looking for something he hid, right? Let me tell you, he almost destroyed my house by digging the tunnel next door."
It's really easy to get it
The mouse led her into the tunnel from under the cupboard in the lounge inside the study. A few meters inside there was an empty hall filled with a lot of valuables, all of which he had embezzled.
"These are not what I'm looking for. I want some important documents or account books."
"I know, I know. Knock on that wall over there!"
Bai Zhiyue knocked where it pointed, and it was indeed hollow. Seeing that one brick was darker than the others, she reached out and pressed it.
A box popped out from the wall, and when I opened it, it was full of account books and letters.
He took out one or two letters and opened them. Cheng's face was solemn. This was no longer a matter of corruption or collusion with bandits to harm the prince of the Marquisate.
Put the box into the space
"I found what I needed, thank you!"
"Are you leaving now? How about we chat? We finally got here!"
It's not easy. I can't climb over the wall every day even if it's nothing.
“I’m afraid of disturbing you.”
"Well, it's nothing. We still have time to plant seeds tomorrow. It's just that I've never seen anyone who can understand rat language like you. It's quite interesting to talk to you."
It’s no big deal anyway, so just listen to it.
This rat probably had too many things in his heart, from how the family turned against each other, Huang's miserable situation, to Rong Jinghe's perverted mind after becoming a eunuch, where he would go crazy and kill servants from time to time, and Rong Yang had to eat all kinds of tonic soups and tonics every day just to make a contribution to his concubine.
"You don't know how busy he is every day. He comes home exhausted every day, but he still insists on going to his concubine's place to sow seeds. Every morning when he wakes up, his legs are so weak that he can't stand up. He has to drink a bowl of soup and then carry it to the yamen.
He is much worse off than me. Although I only have one wife, I give birth to several litters a year, and each litter contains eight or ten puppies."
Bai Zhiyue twisted her lips and didn't say anything. There was no comparison, but Rong Yang was indeed working hard.
"There's something even more exciting. You know Guan, the young lady. Ever since they moved into this house, Rong Jinghe has never been seen entering her yard."
"Are they on bad terms?"
"It's more than just bad. I heard that Rong Jinghe married Guan just to give her a status, saying that his sister wouldn't let him have other women. I wonder why his sister can control her brother's bedroom affairs!"
So that's how it is. Rong Jinghe probably wanted to appease Rong Wanting and make her wholeheartedly work for the Rong family, so he created a persona to keep her chastity for her. No wonder Guan always looked dull and not angry at all.
"That's hardly exciting!"
"Don't worry, I heard that old man has been cheating on me since last year."
"You mean he's talking about Guan?"
"Yes"
