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

Chapter 440 Not Letting
Manager Bai just said he wanted two rooms, but now he wants them all.

Manager Bai was beaming with pride.

After saying this, he stood tall and held his head high, waiting for the other person to turn pale, grovel, and fawn over him.

Hearing a chorus of low gasps, Steward Bai became even more smug.

Hmph, fight him? He has connections!
What Manager Bai didn't see was that the gasping sound wasn't coming from Xu Zhichun's group.

The Rong'an Marquis's Mansion? That's quite impressive; after all, it's a marquisate.

But how can an old noble family with no rising stars and on a downward spiral compare to a general who has just been rewarded for his meritorious service in suppressing a rebellion?

Moreover, Liang Minglang is not only serving as the Deputy Commander of the Nine Cities Military Command, but he was also recently granted the title of Marquis of Wuxuan.

Sanlian, Muqi, and others rolled their eyes again.

Xu Zhichun: "The Rong'an Marquis's residence? I'm sorry, even if the Marquis's wife were standing in front of us right now, I wouldn't give up this room, nor would I give up that one."

"you--"

"We don't want to say who we are for now. But coincidentally, we're also heading to the capital. If this steward's curiosity isn't satisfied, perhaps we can wait until we get there to inquire. For now, please allow us to keep you in suspense."

"."

"If this manager continues to make trouble, it's hard to say who will suffer in the end. I'm a kind-hearted person, and I've already given you a heads-up. Don't regret it later, or it will be too late."

"Alright, everyone go back and rest. Don't forget to get up early tomorrow morning."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Please go first, Madam."

The group of people treated Xu Zhichun with utmost respect. Qin Qing and the others accompanied Xu Zhichun, and the crowd dispersed, not even glancing at Steward Bai again.

Manager Bai's face flushed red, then turned pale, then flushed red again. He opened his mouth, but despite his anger, he couldn't utter a single word.

The other party's reaction was too indifferent and nonchalant. Manager Bai was good at bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and he didn't dare to move when he encountered a tough opponent.

The fact that the other party remained unmoved upon hearing about the Rong'an Marquis's residence filled him with suspicion and uncertainty.

It cannot be ruled out that the other party is bluffing, since no one can verify it at the moment.

But what if?
Although he felt that this "what if" was a bit too far-fetched—too coincidental, wasn't it?
But what if?
Ultimately, he didn't dare to gamble on the possibility of something going wrong.

The innkeeper silently wiped his sweat, thinking to himself, "That was close!"
Luckily, he was about to speak up for the steward, but fortunately...
Although the Marquis's residence in the capital was nowhere near this place, the shopkeeper didn't dare to leave Steward Bai in such an awkward position.

If you inadvertently anger someone, a casual remark to the local officials could be enough to cause you serious trouble.

The innkeeper quickly stepped forward, smiling obsequiously, and offered a ladder, saying that his inn was in excellent condition, and that even though it wasn't a superior room, it was no worse than a superior room, and that one could still stay comfortably.

To avoid further trouble, he even reluctantly offered a 50% discount.

I dare not earn this money, but I hope not to get into trouble.

Manager Bai calmed down a bit, grunted in agreement, and hurriedly went to fetch his master.

Aunt Bai and her son and daughter were quite arrogant. As soon as they entered the inn, they acted as if they were walking on cheap ground, complaining and showing off. They wanted this and that, and were dissatisfied with everything. They were shouting and making noise, making it impossible for anyone to rest in peace.

The commotion lasted until well past midnight before finally subsiding. Before even meeting anyone from the Rong'an Marquis's residence, Xu Zhichun's impression of them worsened even further.

The Rong'an Marquis's Mansion was the original owner's family.

The current Lady of Rong'an is the original owner's stepmother.

It turns out that people who have a grudge can still have an unpleasant encounter even if they are separated by the ends of the earth.

Aunt Bai wants to climb onto the roof? What a dream!

The next day, everyone was probably in a hurry to get going, so they set off at about the same time.

The steward, perhaps still harboring resentment, had a sudden inspiration and decided to cause trouble. He had his servants secretly destroy Xu Zhichun's carriage, but Mu Qi and his men caught them red-handed.

They made a huge fuss last night, and this morning they were still making a headache. Mu Qi and the others had been holding back for a long time, and now that they had something to hide, why should they be polite?
Mu Qi and his men grabbed the man and gave him a good beating; the screams alerted both sides.

Manager Bai, enraged, questioned him relentlessly, denying everything and glaring menacingly. Even though the servant of the Bai family was still holding a knife and was about to destroy the wheels of Xu Zhichun's carriage when he was arrested.

Listening to Mu Qi and the white-clad steward arguing, Xu Zhichun once again marveled at the greatness of surveillance.

If there were surveillance cameras, none of this would have happened.

Why bother with a war of words?
Xu Zhichun whispered a few words to Granny Qin Qing, who nodded and went over to say, "Guard Mu, since our carriage is still in good condition, let's just leave it at that. It's getting late, and we should hurry on our way."

Mu Qi then ignored the incessant chatter of Steward Bai, who seemed to have suffered a great injustice: "Yes, madam, as you command. Brothers, let's go! Hmph, consider yourself lucky!"

As they tried to pull the carriage away, Steward Bai felt insulted and disrespected, and became even more aggressive, grabbing Mu Qi's sleeve and shouting, "Want to leave? No way! You've wronged my family, and you think you can just pretend nothing happened?"

Mu Qi sneered, "Are you asking for a beating? I don't mind granting your wish."

Manager Bai: "Everyone, come and see! This group not only framed someone, but also turned the tables and resorted to violence! Is there no justice in this world? Who are you people, acting so arrogantly!"

He still dares to call them domineering?

Xu Zhichun and his group were speechless.

Liang Mingxuan said loudly, "Since that's the case, let's report it to the authorities. Manager Bai, what do you think?"

Manager Bai sneered: "You really think those words can scare us?"

He couldn't decide whether to report it to the authorities as a mere steward, so he could only look to the mistress and the young master.

Young Master Bai sneered contemptuously: "At such a young age, you really don't know your place, daring to talk about reporting to the authorities. What? Do you think the government is your family's private property?"

Aunt Bai wasn't afraid to report it to the authorities; with the Rong'an Marquis's mansion as her backer, she felt quite secure. She simply didn't want to waste time here, and couldn't help but feel that the other group was truly ungrateful.

Aunt Bai frowned: "Everyone needs to get on their way, why make such a fuss? Is this Madam Xu? Your servants are too arrogant, how can they falsely accuse someone for no reason? Apologize, and we'll let it go."

Steward Bai immediately flattered her: "Madam is truly magnanimous, unlike some people who are arrogant and domineering."

Mu Qi, Yu Ji, and the others were all furious. "Who are you calling sarcastic? The word 'shameless' is truly the epitome of shamelessness when applied to you!"

"Who's really being arrogant and despicable?"

"Ha, the thief is crying 'stop thief!'"

"You scoundrels!" Aunt Bai was also furious. "You're utterly ignorant! We've given you so much face, yet you don't appreciate it and dare to insult us? This is outrageous!"
