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

Chapter 455 was detained
When the Rong'an Marquis's mansion learned that Bai Baoying had been detained by the Nine Cities Military Command, they initially did not believe it.

Even if Bao Ying does something outrageous and domineering outside, what does it matter? As long as it doesn't cause any major trouble, everyone just turns a blind eye. If you encounter someone shameless and difficult, you can just give them a few taels of silver.

Even if Bao Ying didn't know, how could the servants of the Marquis's mansion who went out with him not know? It was absolutely impossible for them to have offended the nobles in the capital who were not to be offended.

So, what kind of audacity did the Nine Cities Military Command have to dare arrest a relative of the Marquis's family?

Aunt Bai wiped away her tears anxiously, "Sister, what are we going to do? This unfilial son, this unfilial son, how can he be so insensible! How can he be so insensible!"

"I've told you so many times, this is the capital, not our home. There are strict rules in the capital, but you probably don't listen and just cause trouble for the Marquis's mansion."

Lady Rong'an didn't feel that her nephew was causing trouble; she only felt that she had lost face in front of her sister.

She quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, sister. There must have been some misunderstanding. I'll send the steward to the Nine City Garrison to bring Bao Ying back. If Bao Ying has really been wronged, I will definitely seek justice for him. Even the Nine City Garrison won't be able to bully a relative of the Marquis's family."

"Thank you, sister! Thank you, sister!"

"There's no need for such formalities between us sisters."

Lai, the head steward of the Rong'an Marquis's mansion, received the madam's order and personally led a group of people to the Jiucheng Military Command Office to demand the release of the person.

He was quite sensible; he prepared fifty taels of silver for tea and water, thinking only of spending money to avoid trouble, and politely welcomed the young master back.

Although the patrolling soldiers of the Nine Cities Garrison were of low rank, they were under the direct command of the authorities, and there was little news in the capital that they did not know.

Making enemies with them is not a wise move.

He had already figured out the young master's temperament. He knew that he would cause trouble sooner or later. But even if he caused some trouble, it wouldn't be a big deal. The Marquis's mansion could handle it. It would just be a bit of a hassle.

Sure enough, it's here.

Butler Lai wore a fawning smile, his expression and attitude extremely humble and proper. As long as he could get things done, establish a good relationship, and give the other party a good impression, he didn't mind lowering himself to flatter them.

Based on past experience, the other party would be flattered and very polite and friendly to him. He would then offer a few more compliments and present him with a silver note, and the matter would be settled.

Unexpectedly, this method didn't work this time.

The other party had no patience to listen to him or watch his performance, and impatiently told him to leave: "Go, go, go! Don't even think about disrupting the rules and order of the yamen. That guy surnamed Bai beat and insulted people in the street, he was extremely arrogant. He should be imprisoned according to the law. We'll make a decision after the interrogation is clear. Your Rong'an Marquis's Mansion is coming to ask for him at this time. You really don't respect the laws of the Ming Dynasty, do you?"

Butler Lai was completely dumbfounded.

He quickly smiled apologetically, "Officer! Officer, isn't there some misunderstanding? Our young master isn't like that. Even if he gets into a fight, it takes two to tango, and it can't all be his fault, right? I wonder what the other party's intentions are—"

"What? Did we, the Nine Cities Garrison, arrest the wrong person? Do we, the Nine Cities Garrison, need the steward of your Rong'an Marquis's mansion to instruct us on our affairs?"

"Oh, no, no, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to find out what happened."

The more Steward Lai probed, the more his heart sank. He quickly and secretly slipped the fifty taels of silver into the constable's hand. "Could you please tell me clearly, sir, so I can understand what's going on? Please accept this fifty taels of silver and have some tea."

"What are you doing? You old man, trying to bribe me?"

The bailiff refused to accept the silver note and shoved the steward, yelling, "Who wants your silver note? Get out!"

"Officer, please don't be angry, please don't be angry. I was wrong, it was my fault. Farewell, farewell." Seeing this, Steward Lai hurriedly left and told someone to quickly drive back to the Marquis's residence.

He understood that no matter how much fault the young master had, it was clear that someone was deliberately targeting the Rong'an Marquis's mansion.

They came for the Marquis's residence.

Lady Rong'an was calm and composed, while Aunt Bai and her daughter were restless and uneasy. Unexpectedly, Steward Lai did not bring the person back.

Aunt Bai's vision went black, and she cried out in shock, "How could this be! What do they want to do to my son? What do they want to do! Sister, I beg you, you must save Bao Ying! When has that child ever suffered like this? He must be terrified."

Thinking that her son was still being held in the yamen, Aunt Bai was extremely anxious.

Bai Jinfu supported her and comforted her repeatedly.

Lady Rong'an felt greatly embarrassed. She comforted her sister for a few moments, then said unhappily, "Steward Lai, you speak."

She simply refused to believe that the mere Nine Cities Garrison wouldn't even give face to the Marquis of Rong'an's mansion.
At most, her nephew is just a bully; could he possibly cause a death?
This is a bit tricky.

"Madam, please calm down. Aunt, please don't be anxious either. Young Master is just being kept at the Nine City Military Command. He should be fine."

Butler Lai briefly recounted what had happened during his trip, and then said, "Madam, this old servant suspects that someone is deliberately targeting our Rong'an Marquis's residence. Do you think we should invite the master and young master back?"

Lady Rong'an had lived in the capital for many years, so she had seen and heard about it even if she hadn't been there.

It was definitely a deliberate attack.

This is beyond the control of a mere lady confined to the inner quarters; it's probably related to what her husband and son have been doing outside.

However, her son is now studying at the Imperial Academy, so things should be alright; it must be a problem on her husband's side.

In that case, it's actually our family that has dragged our nephew down.

"Don't worry, little sister. If that's the case, there's no need to rush. Bao Ying will definitely be fine, don't worry! Go find the master. The young master is studying hard at the Imperial Academy, so don't disturb him."

"Yes."

Aunt Bai became even more worried after hearing what her sister said.

Her son was implicated by the Rong'an Marquis's mansion? What exactly did the Rong'an Marquis's mansion do? Why didn't those people dare to openly confront the Marquis's mansion, but instead took their anger out on her son?
What's so special about that?
So, wouldn't her son be used as a punching bag and suffer in the Jiucheng Military Command?
Aunt Bai was so anxious her heart was practically burning.

On his way back, Marquis Rong'an heard from Steward Lai about what had happened at the Nine Cities Garrison, and he couldn't help but frown.

"From what you've said, it does seem like this is aimed at our Marquis's residence. However, I haven't made any enemies recently, nor have I done anything wrong. What makes you say this? Send someone to the Imperial Academy to bring the young master back."

"Yes"

When the family reunited and looked at each other, they still couldn't figure out what the problem was.

Perhaps Bai Baoying did something outside and offended someone he shouldn't have without realizing it?
Marquis Rong'an inquired tactfully.

Aunt Bai and her daughter blushed instantly.
