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

Chapter 487 Thinking highly of oneself
Lady Rong'an Marquis planned to give Consort Xue six hundred taels of silver this time. When she looked at the Marquis's public accounts, she couldn't help but grit her teeth in anger. If the three most profitable shops were still there, the monthly income would be considerable, and there would be no shortage of money now.

When the Lady of Rong'an Marquis entered the palace to meet her daughter, she hadn't even had a chance to complain when Consort Xue mentioned Bai Jinfu's marriage, and she was completely stunned.

"This...this...this works?!"

She loathed everything about Xu Zhichun, including Marquis Wuxuan.

The Marquis of Wuxuan showed absolutely no respect for their household. He knew perfectly well that they were his elders, yet he still dared to act this way. How could this not be disgusting!
Seeing her mother's expression, Xuepin smiled smugly and began to explain her plan in detail.

Lady Rong'an's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Although she still disliked Marquis Wuxuan and still found him extremely annoying, if she could control him and make him obedient, and then hold her head high in front of him, wouldn't that be a great thing?

More importantly, that bitch Xu is going to be in trouble!
Lady Rong'an sneered, "In that case, it's perfect that Madam Xu can no longer stay in the capital!"

An's daughter should be lowly and contemptible. Why should she come to the capital to get in her way?
"Of course!" Consort Xue smiled smugly. "Mother also thinks that Marquis Wuxuan won't refuse, right?"

Lady Rong'an scoffed dismissively, "Refuse? Would he be willing to do that? He's not stupid."

The mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled.

Full of confidence.

The mother and daughter were not worried at all that Liang Minglang would refuse; instead, they were more worried about whether Aunt Bai and Bai Jinfu would agree.

Especially Aunt Bai, Bao Ying can be said to have been completely harmed by Marquis Wuxuan - if he were not Marquis Wuxuan, Bao Ying would not have been sentenced so severely.

It won't be easy to persuade Aunt Bai to accept this.

And then there's Jin Fu, who might not be willing to compromise.

The mother and daughter discussed for a long time how to persuade Aunt Bai and her daughter.
Sure enough, as soon as Lady Rong'an mentioned this matter, Aunt Bai's expression changed drastically, and she angrily launched into a tirade of curses.

Lady Rong'an had anticipated her strong reaction, but not to this extent. Provoked by her sharp, knife-like words, she too was enraged. The two sisters had a huge argument, nearly escalating into a full-blown fight.

It was Bai Jinfu who tearfully persuaded the two sisters to reconcile, and only then did they manage to regain some of their composure.

Lady Rong'an Marquis hated Xu Zhichun so much and wanted to see him suffer. She tried to persuade and tempt him with all sorts of words, appealing to his emotions and reasoning with him.

What finally moved Aunt Bai was her sudden inspiration: if Bai Jinfu and Marquis Wuxuan's relationship succeeded, would Bao Ying still need to be exiled?

If Bai Jinfu says a few nice words and pleads for mercy, how could Marquis Wuxuan possibly refuse?

Aunt Bai could refuse for a thousand and one reasons, but she could never refuse this one.

When it comes to her only son, her lifelong support, Aunt Bai forgets everything else.

“He got off too easy! Although that man comes from a poor background, he is still a decent match for my Jinfu. In that case, let’s leave this matter to you, sister. I have only one request: my Jinfu cannot be wronged. When my Jinfu enters the family, that Xu woman must have already been dealt with. Even if she is willing to be a concubine, it is not allowed! My Jinfu will not be sisters with that kind of person.”

Liang Minglang is already incredibly lucky to have married Jin Fu; he should never take a concubine in this lifetime.

Lady Rong'an didn't see anything wrong with her younger sister's words at all, nodding and smiling, "Of course, how could we let our Jinfu suffer? A good girl like our Jinfu deserves the best. If she's willing to marry him, then he's getting a good deal!"

Aunt Bai finally smiled; those words were absolutely right. Bai Jinfu lowered her head, her fingers aimlessly fidgeting with the hem of her clothes, remaining silent.

She was completely lost. Was she willing? Was she not? She didn't know.

It doesn't seem to work either.

She knew very well that her aunt was right. Because of her mother and brother, she could no longer find a good marriage. In comparison, this was almost the best option.

The next door was Lady Hou; although she was a second wife, it wasn't really a big deal.
As evening fell, Bai Jinfu thought about it more and more and felt that the marriage was quite good. Her heart began to flutter, and she secretly began to look forward to it.

The Rong'an Marquis's family and the Wuxuan Marquis's family had a very strained relationship. Moreover, there was never a reason for the woman to be the one chasing after the man. Naturally, the Rong'an Marquis's family would not stoop so low as to actively promote their daughter to Liang Minglang.

Xue Han, the eldest son of the Marquis of Rong'an, found General Meng.

General Meng was closest to Liang Minglang, and he had also remarried, making his situation similar to Liang Minglang's.

It would be best if he could persuade Liang Minglang on his own.

General Meng was both surprised and delighted.

Surprisingly, he didn't expect that the Rong'an Marquis's mansion would take a liking to Liang Minglang. What pleased him was that if this matter succeeded, he would see how Liang Minglang would talk back to him in the future, and how he would intentionally or unintentionally reveal a look of disdain for him.

Then he naturally won't distance himself from you anymore.

General Meng knew very well that if he wanted to advance further, the best way was to have Liang Minglang's support and guidance.

But he's not giving himself a chance at all.

Will he be able to refuse then?

General Meng couldn't help but feel a little jealous, jealous that Miss Bai was in better condition than his wife.

Why didn't the Rong'an Marquis's mansion take a liking to him back then?
When General Meng invited Liang Minglang to dinner, Liang Minglang initially refused. However, for some reason, the man seemed oblivious to Liang's gaze and insisted on inviting him.

Even though their relationship wasn't as close as before, they were still colleagues and friends on the surface. General Meng seemed oblivious to the situation and insisted on inviting him, so Liang Minglang couldn't afford to break off relations and had no choice but to go along with it.

The two ate and drank at the restaurant, and Liang Minglang remained vigilant and restrained throughout.

He was certain that General Meng had something to say.

After a few rounds of drinks, General Meng rambled on and on, finally subtly suggesting that Liang Minglang should remarry. He kept repeating the same old things, always saying it was for Liang's own good, for his future, that he could have been promoted faster, lived a more carefree life, and expanded his network of connections, and that he deserved better, and that someone like Madam Xu was not good enough for him.
Liang Minglang was furious.

He didn't expect that after more than half a year, just when he thought everything had calmed down, someone would bring up the topic with him again.

They were brothers who had once shared life-or-death experiences.

He wanted to turn hostile on the spot, but he held back.

He was genuinely curious as to why General Meng had brought this up again after so long. What had happened?
