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

Chapter 466 The Accidental Success of the Trouble-Maker
Madam Meng covered her mouth and chuckled, "It's not easy to have some kind of connection; it's fate!"

Seeing that her sister's expression was off, Lady Rong'an Marquis hurriedly tried to stop her from speaking again, but it was too late—

Aunt Bai was overwhelmed with emotion, her expression agitated and her voice shrill: "Fate? What fate? My son is about to be killed by her! I have no choice but to plead with you, Madam Wu Xuanhou, for your mercy and forgive my son! Madam Wu Xuanhou, what do you want from me to let my son go? Tell me! Tell me!"

Lady Rong'an quickly scolded, "Sister, stop talking now, let's talk about this later."

Aunt Bai forcefully shook off her hand, her grievances and resentment reaching their peak. "I've already said it, what are we waiting for? I won't make things difficult for you. Can't I even speak up myself? What's wrong with a mother caring about her son? Lady Wuxuan, what do you want in return for letting my son go?"

Lady Rong'an was both angry and anxious, and her vision blurred. She wanted to do something but dared not, fearing that she might provoke her younger sister even more.

She was willful in the past, and she must have become even more arrogant and reckless over the years. What if she says something even worse without thinking?
Lady Rong'an was filled with regret. If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have taken her out.

It was her oversight; she hadn't anticipated this.

Right now, she dares not do anything.

The ladies looked at each other, a commotion broke out, and they whispered among themselves, surprised and secretly excited: Who wouldn't love to watch a show?

Madam Meng was overjoyed and quickly added fuel to the fire, saying sympathetically, "Madam Bai is absolutely right. Parents all over the world are heartbroken. Seeing Madam Bai like this, I also feel sorry for her. Madam Liang, as the saying goes, it is better to resolve enmity than to make it. We are all in the same circle and will see each other all the time. Why don't you be more magnanimous and forgive others when you can?"

"I wonder what Young Master Bai did to offend Madam Liang, that she is so resentful, driving a mother to such a state? Why don't Madam Liang speak up, and we can all judge the matter together and resolve it properly?"

Several ladies, some of whom were rather impetuous and frivolous, laughed and nodded in agreement.

"I think that's a good point."

"Yes, things always need to be resolved."

"It would be a good thing if we could help each other think of a solution."

"That's right."

Xu Zhichun scoffed lightly. Madam Meng's use of the word "provoke" was truly excellent, leaving endless room for imagination and creating a very ambiguous atmosphere.

Xu Zhichun: "It's nothing much. We just happened to run into each other on the way to the capital. We asked for a room first, but the Bai family had no rooms left. So they tried to force us to give up our rooms by invoking the name of the Marquis of Rong'an. I naturally refused, which angered Young Master Bai. A few days ago, my sworn sister and I were playing by the lake when Young Master Bai saw us and wanted revenge. He ordered his men to stop us and curse us. He also ordered his men to beat us up. Unfortunately, the people around us were also quite capable and prevented Young Master Bai from succeeding. Later, the people from the Nine Cities Garrison came."

"Both of these incidents happened in public, with countless eyes watching. If anyone doesn't believe me and insists on spreading rumors, distorting the facts, or maliciously fabricating some ambiguous statements to slander and frame me—let me make this clear upfront: I'm a person who takes things seriously, and I'm determined to get to the bottom of this. Don't try to say things like 'just kidding' or 'just said it casually,' I won't listen."

Madam Meng's face flushed slightly.

Lu Yin laughed, "What you say is true, sister. How can anyone spread rumors and make wild guesses about your identity? If there are truly such despicable people, whatever their fate may be, they deserve it! Take this young master Bai, for example. It's all his own fault, he brought it upon himself. Now he's been exiled for three years, all according to the law. Isn't it his own doing? Can he blame anyone else?" The Lady of Rong'an Marquis's vision went black again, and she cried out in despair: It's over! It's all over.
Sure enough, as soon as Lu Yin finished speaking, Aunt Bai froze, forgetting to make things difficult for Xu Zhichun, and abruptly turned her head, staring intently at the Lady of Rong'an Marquis, her voice trembling and broken: "What...what did she say? What...what...exile? Exile! Three years! Is she talking about my Bao Ying?"

Aunt Bai suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Rong'an Marquis's wife's clothes tightly with both hands: "Tell me! Tell me! Is my Bao Ying really exiled? Where is he now? Where is he?"

"Sister! Calm down!"

"Madam, please calm down and release our lady."

"Get out of here! Why was my son exiled? Why? Didn't you tell me there would be a way? Didn't you say he'd be alright? You lied to me, you lied to me so badly! How could you do this, how could you do this!"

Aunt Bai burst into tears, shaking Lady Rong'an Marquis frantically, "You lied to me! You actually lied to me! Why! Why! You didn't tell me about something so important? Are you even human? Waaaaah!"

Lady Rong'an had no way to explain her suffering. She wanted to pry Lady Bai's hands open and explain properly. The maids and nannies who came with her also pleaded and tried to pull at Aunt Bai. Aunt Bai became even angrier. In a fit of rage, she reached out and grabbed Lady Rong'an's hair, refusing to let go, and screaming and cursing.

"You liar! Liar! How cruel you are! You're my sister, how could you do this to me? Not only did you not help me, but you kept it all from me! My poor Baoying, even in exile, I couldn't get there to see him off, I couldn't give him any luggage or money! How is he supposed to survive? How is he supposed to survive the journey?"

"You're trying to kill him! You're clearly trying to kill him! Waaaaah!"

Lady Rong'an screamed in pain, tears streaming down her face. She struggled instinctively, screaming as she tried to explain, "No, it's not like that! I didn't hurt him! Sister, please listen to me, please listen to me!"

"I don't want to hear it! Give me back Baoying!"

"I'll fight you!"

"what!"

Lady Rong'an, in unbearable pain, screamed shrilly, "Let go! Let go of me!"

"Madam, please let go! Let's talk this out."

"Yes, Auntie, please don't be like this. Madam must have her reasons, and she will explain them to you."

"Get out! You lowly servants! Get out of here! You're all from the Xue family, so naturally you'll side with this poisonous woman!"

"Ah! No!"

"Help!"

The more Aunt Bai was stopped, the angrier she became. The two sisters fought fiercely, shoving each other and falling to the ground, still wrestling. The scene was chaotic.
