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

Chapter 490 Noisy
The old saying "harmony in the family brings prosperity in all things" sounds utterly ironic now.

Aunt Bai snorted, which was taken as an agreement.

But she had another request: she wanted her son to come back safely, and he had to come back immediately.

The Lady of Rong'an Marquis's face darkened.

Aunt Bai said with tears in her eyes, "Isn't this all the work of that Xu woman? Look at how badly she's hurt us, isn't she still not satisfied? What anger hasn't she vented yet? Just agree to whatever conditions she has. People are all made of flesh and blood, she can't be so heartless!"

Lady Rong'an thought to herself: She can! She really can!
What else didn't she understand? It was true that Xu Zhichun didn't want to acknowledge the Rong'an Marquis's Mansion, and it was also true that she hated them to the core. Unless they handed over the Rong'an Marquis's Mansion with open arms, Xu Zhichun would absolutely not agree.

This time, the son gritted his teeth and kept saying that Liang Minglang had ruined him. Although he couldn't say it without evidence, the son would never lie.

That's definitely the truth.

At this critical juncture, how could we possibly beg them to spare Baoying?

Aunt Bai didn't care about any of that. She made a huge fuss and insisted on having her son, otherwise she wouldn't be allowed to shut up.

Her daughter has already suffered such a great injustice, and now she only wants her only son back. Is that too much to ask? Not at all!

This is only natural!
Lady Rong'an had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

She wanted to proceed gradually, but Aunt Bai wanted to strike while the iron was hot.

Aunt Bai gave her no chance to breathe, crying and making a scene, demanding that she find Xu Zhichun and get things cleared up in the next day or two.

Lady Rong'an had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhichun flatly refused; she wouldn't agree.

She didn't care about the Rong'an Marquis's money. With those three shops, she could easily open twice a month and make a fortune every time, earning hundreds of times her initial investment. Why would she covet the Rong'an Marquis's money?
Of course, she would prefer to see evil deeds punished.

A person like Bai Baoying deserved his just deserts.

Lady Rong'an was so angry that she made some harsh remarks, but before she could finish, Xu Zhichun saw her off.

"I heard that your household is about to hold a wedding. Lady Rong'an should worry about your own affairs first. I don't need to worry about my future fate. I might as well give the same advice to Lady Rong'an. Who knows, it might come true one day?"

When Lady Rong'an arrived, she felt she had endured humiliation and was filled with resentment; when she left, she was still filled with resentment.

Back at the mansion, Aunt Bai not only showed no understanding, but also made a scene, crying and wailing, suspecting that Lady Rong'an had not done her best at all.

Lady Rong'an was exhausted and frustrated, unable to defend herself, both physically and mentally. She regretted it.

She couldn't help but say impulsively, "If you don't like life in the capital, why don't you go back to your hometown? I'll take care of Jinfu, so don't worry! It would be good for you to go back and enjoy your life in peace."

Aunt Bai was stunned: "What did you say? You want to kick me out?"

"What terrible things have I done?!"

Aunt Bai cried and made a fuss even more.

She was the one who invited her, saying that they would settle down in the capital, and their children's marriages would also be arranged there. She said the two sisters could visit each other often, look after one another, and enjoy their old age together. She was overjoyed and deeply moved at the time, and she had even taught her children to be filial to their aunt. And look what happened—this is how she treated her!
She won't leave, she absolutely won't leave!

What will happen to her son if she leaves?
The Rong'an Marquis's mansion will never care about her son again.

Aunt Bai's commotion was still going on when, unexpectedly, the Minister of Rites sent someone to annul the engagement.

With such a scandalous affair, it's impossible for the Minister of Rites to still marry their daughter to him.

They are cousins, so their relationship is naturally close. Aunt Bai and Lady Rong'an are sisters, and Aunt Bai lives in the Rong'an Marquis's mansion. She might even spend her retirement there.

These officials had all found out the truth, and even learned that Aunt Bai was a shrewish woman from the streets, capable of doing anything shameless and saying anything nasty. She had even gone to the Marquis of Wuxuan's residence to cause trouble before, and was even detained by the Shuntian Prefecture government for several days. The Marquis's residence paid her a large sum of money to settle the matter.

More importantly, she also had a son who had committed a crime and was exiled. It was said that he was also a scoundrel who was always causing trouble and doing nothing right.

The thought of having one's daughter live with such people is suffocating.

The Minister of Rites did not hesitate to cancel the engagement.

Anyway, Xue Han caused the trouble first, so even if their daughter cancels the engagement, no one will gossip. Even if the marriage is affected to some extent, it's still better than jumping into a fire pit in the first place.

The Marquis of Rong'an and his wife thought their future in-laws were being pretentious—after all, their family was a marquisate, and they had Consort Xue in the palace, so their future was limitless. How could they possibly bear to break off the engagement?
It will be very difficult for a girl who has broken off her engagement to find a good marriage again!
Lady Rong'an, thinking she understood, launched into a series of apologies and promises before the other party could speak, explaining that the distinction between wives and concubines was important to the Xue family. They believed that once Miss Liu entered the household, no one could surpass her, and the Marquis's mansion would never allow her to suffer the slightest mistreatment.
Lady Rong'an was eloquent, always smiling and humble, and her words were so tactful that they made everyone feel comfortable.

If the Liu family hadn't investigated Aunt Bai's family beforehand, they probably would have believed it.

As for now, of course I don't believe it.

Not only did they not believe it, they even suspected that the reason why Lady Rong'an Marquis had gone to such lengths was clearly because she was guilty!

And yet, they're still trying to screw over their own people.

dream.

Despite the best efforts of Lady Rong'an, the Liu family remained unyielding and insisted on annuling the engagement.

If the Marquis of Rong'an's family refuses to annul the engagement, they can immediately send Aunt Bai away and swear that Aunt Bai will never come to the capital again, never come to the Marquis's mansion again, and the Marquis's mansion will never interfere in the affairs of Aunt Bai's family again.

Bai Jinfu, on the other hand, had to drink the sterilization soup, which the Liu family would send someone to personally serve her.

Wasn't the Rong'an Marquis's mansion showing great sincerity? Didn't they say they'd let everyone voice their opinions?
Can you agree?

Lady Rong'an was furious. This wasn't setting conditions; it was clearly just deliberately picking a fight.

Ultimately, they couldn't reach an agreement, the marriage was quickly called off, and they went their separate ways.

Aunt Bai, on the other hand, thought it was exactly what she wanted. This way, her daughter could become the legal wife, which would be perfect for both of them.

Lady Rong'an clutched her chest in anger, feeling a sharp pain.

Aunt Bai didn't care. Even if they were relatives, Xue Han couldn't ruin her daughter's reputation and be irresponsible.

"They said there was a marriage agreement before, and I had no choice but to accept it. Now that the agreement is over, is my Jinfu not good enough for Xue Han? My Jinfu is a perfectly good young lady!"
