They've all separated, so what does it matter to me if they get poorer and poorer?

Chapter 456 Let's see your sincerity

Bai Baoying's true nature is clear to Bai's aunt, no matter how biased she is or how much she tries to cover up or distort her words when talking about her son.

Maybe it really is true.

Aunt Bai burst into tears, “I…I don’t know either. He shouldn’t have that kind of guts, right? He didn’t tell me. And Bai Hu and Bai Sheng, who serve him, are also arrested in some yamen right now. I’m afraid no one else knows either. My lord, what are we going to do!”

Lady Rong'an, also feeling humiliated, quickly said, "Sister, please don't say that. It's not even certain that Bao Ying was at fault yet. My lord, please think of a solution. In any case, this is a disrespect to our Rong'an Marquis's mansion; it's simply outrageous!"

"Humph!"

Marquis Rong'an was also very annoyed.

Marquis Rong'an personally went to the Jiucheng Military Command Office, putting on airs, speaking sternly and shouting, his attitude firm, determined to take Bai Baoying away.

His wife was right; this was an insult to the Marquis's family, and of course he wouldn't allow it.

Now that things have escalated to this point, countless families are watching the spectacle.

He would never allow his family to be ridiculed.

Ordinary officers and soldiers of the Nine Cities Garrison could not afford to offend Marquis Rong'an, but Liang Minglang could.

When Marquis Rong'an saw him, he couldn't help but sneer: "Such a small matter has alarmed Deputy Commander Liang. It seems that your Nine Cities Military Command has been quite idle lately."

Liang Minglang retorted, "The fact that the Nine Cities Military Command is often idle proves that there are few troublemakers in the capital. Doesn't Marquis Rong'an think this is a good thing?"

"Deputy Commander Liang, don't twist my words. I didn't mean that! My good-for-nothing nephew was captured by your military command. That's why I'm here. Deputy Commander Liang, please say something."

What do you want?
Liang Minglang smiled and said, "Your Excellency is quite generous, but I'm afraid you won't be able to take this person with you today."

Marquis Rong'an was furious, "Liang Minglang! I have given you enough face, don't be so shameless."

Although Liang Minglang was also a marquis, he was not taken seriously by old noble families like Rong'an Marquis, especially since his daughter was a concubine in the palace.

Liang Minglang: "Did the Marquis give me face? How come I didn't know?"

"The Marquis didn't even ask why our good-for-nothing nephew was captured. What kind of respect is that?"

"you--"

Marquis Rong'an glared fiercely at Liang Minglang, which is why he disliked talking to so-called new elites like Liang Minglang the most. Liang Minglang was arrogant and looked down on everyone because of his small achievements, as if he could live a life without ever needing anyone's help.

Countless new talents emerge and then disappear quickly, but how many can truly laugh last and remain standing?

Let him be arrogant, and he'll soon learn the difference between right and wrong.

Marquis Rong'an said coldly, "Oh? In that case, I would like to ask Deputy Commander Liang what exactly my nephew did that made your Nine Cities Military Command so relentless."

Liang Minglang: "Bai Baoying led his men to stop my wife by the back lake, hurled insults at her, and ordered your servants to take action, saying they wanted to teach my wife a lesson and let her know her place. When the military police came on patrol, Bai Baoying used your mansion to order the military police to arrest my wife and bring her back to the yamen to be flogged and imprisoned."

"My lord, did you hear me clearly? I'd also like to know the immensity of heaven and earth."

Marquis Rong'an was completely dumbfounded. He had considered countless possibilities, but this was the last thing he had thought of; it was completely unrelated.

"This...this is impossible! Something must have happened!"

Liang Minglang sneered: "My wife passed through Shangluo Town on her way to the capital and checked into an inn first." Liang Minglang explained the background in a few words, and Marquis Rong'an's heart sank even further.

He genuinely didn't know anything about it, but Liang Minglang had no reason to lie like that. It wouldn't be surprising at all if Bai Baoying encountered Madam Liang again in the capital and did something like this.

He acted arrogantly under the banner of the Rong'an Marquis's mansion, but unexpectedly ran into a brick wall.
Marquis Rong'an was filled with shame, anger, and embarrassment; all his former arrogance had vanished.
He had gone to confront them angrily, but in the end, it all became his fault.
Given Liang Minglang's current status and position, it's no wonder that fool Bai Baoying suffered for humiliating and bullying his wife like this.

Live it!

That fool, he's good for nothing and only knows how to cause trouble because he's from the Marquis's mansion. He saw through his true nature as soon as they arrived and warned his wife not to let him go too far. This is the capital city. Even if our family is a Marquis's mansion, we can't cover everything.

The lady was not happy to hear this, feeling that she was looking down on her sisters. She also said that although her nephew was not very successful, he was honest and straightforward by nature, knew his place, and would never cause trouble for the Marquis's mansion.

Is this what you call not causing trouble for the Marquis's mansion?

And it made him lose face!
"This, this must be a misunderstanding." Marquis Rong'an's arrogance vanished completely: "Baoying must not know Madam Liang's identity. If he did, he certainly wouldn't have done this."

Liang Minglang sneered: "What? Just because it's not my wife, he can do this? The Rong'an Marquis's mansion certainly has a lot of power!"

"No, no, that's not what I meant! I meant that Bao Ying has learned his lesson this time. Deputy Commander Liang has vented his anger, so let him off the hook. Why bother with him? Once he's out, I'll have my wife and his mother personally take him to apologize."

Liang Minglang smiled and said, "That won't do. I won't let him leave if my wife isn't satisfied."

Marquis Rong'an's face darkened.

Liang Minglang: "Your Excellency doesn't want to make a big fuss, does he? If it really does, even Consort Xue in the palace will lose face."

"."

Marquis Rong'an was furious.

He had originally intended to use Consort Xue from the palace to pressure Liang Minglang, but unexpectedly, Liang Minglang spoke first instead.

Insidious! Despicable! Cunning!

Marquis Rong'an left with a dark expression and a flick of his sleeve.

Liang Minglang scoffed dismissively. So what if he has a black face? I'm afraid he won't have a black face.

He packed up and went home to show off his achievement to his wife.

When Marquis Rong'an returned in a rage, both his wife and Aunt Bai were startled.

"My lord, what is this—"

"Did you get into a conflict with someone when you stayed at Shangluo Town?"

Aunt Bai was taken aback, then quickly nodded: "Yes, some Mrs. Xu, she's incredibly arrogant—"

Marquis Rong'an chuckled coldly: "Baoying ran into that Madam Xu again and wanted to teach her a lesson, which led to the conflict. You probably didn't expect that Madam Xu happens to be the wife of the Deputy Commander of the Nine Cities Garrison. Baoying ran into her himself, so who can he blame!"

Aunt Bai was stunned.
"How could this happen, how could this happen!" Her knees buckled, and she knelt down, desperately begging Marquis Rong'an to save her son.

No wonder that woman was so arrogant!

Turns out, he has powerful connections.
