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

Chapter 496 Uproar
When the Empress Dowager learned that the young master of the Ji family was engaged to Lu Yin, she was greatly encouraged and sent someone to the Rong'an Marquis's mansion again, asking them to recognize Xu Zhichun as soon as possible.

The Empress Dowager was even more pleased. What did this mean? It meant that if the Earl of Rong'an and his wife succeeded, they could even win over Ji Yingxuan as well.

Even if they couldn't win him over, they could still use this to annoy and trouble the emperor.

In short, if she's having a hard time, nobody else will either.
The Rong Anbo couple became increasingly dejected, feeling a vague and inexplicable frustration that they stubbornly refused to admit.

Why didn't I think of this back then? I should have realized it when I saw how closely Ji Yingxuan was interacting with the Marquis of Wuxuan's residence.

If I had thought of this earlier, I wouldn't have spoken so definitively back then.

Now, even if they are willing to give them a way out and accept it, Xu Zhichun is taking advantage of their kindness.

But the Empress Dowager is pressing them hard, and Ah Qian is also suffering greatly. What should they do?
Marquis Rong An stopped Liang Minglang as he was leaving court.

This time, perhaps they learned their lesson; they were very polite, and even managed a smile.

However, Liang Minglang was too lazy to pay any attention to him and didn't give him the slightest bit of a friendly look.

"I have nothing to say to Marquis Rong'an, so please do not block my way."

"Why is Marquis Wuxuan so aggressive? The relationship between our two families—"

"Our two families only have grudges, what other relationship could we have? Is Marquis Rong'an still not giving up and going to say something on behalf of the Bai family again? Sorry, there's no room for discussion! Marquis Rong'an, don't even think about it."

Marquis Rong was furious. "Xu Zhichun is my daughter. You don't need to pretend you don't know!"

Liang Minglang looked surprised. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm talking nonsense? Ha!"

"Insolence!" Liang Minglang roared in anger, "My wife's background is clear and transparent. How could she possibly be your daughter? Could it be that Marquis Rong'an is trying to get close to my Wuxuan Marquis's mansion because he sees it as a powerful force and is trying to gain benefits by associating with it, so he is just spouting nonsense?"

"you!"

“I will not take Rong’an’s nonsense seriously once, but if I had heard it earlier, don’t blame me for being impolite! I would be afraid if it were reported to the emperor.”

"This is outrageous! This is outrageous!"

Marquis Rong An was trembling with anger as he watched Liang Minglang strut away.

How ironic. He was initially afraid of Xu Zhichun's entanglement, but now he's the one being entangled.

There was no way to get through a proper conversation; they weren't giving him a chance at all, so naturally he wasn't going to let it go so easily.

Now there's nowhere left to retreat.

Even if it weren't for Xue Qian, the Empress Dowager had spoken, so an explanation was still required.

Since he had already gone this far, Marquis Rong An decided to go all the way and spread the word that Xu Zhichun was his daughter.

He deliberately bribed people to spread the news, and within a day, the whole city was abuzz with it, and everyone knew about it.

Everyone was surprised.

"This can't be right! This is too outrageous!"

"That's right, we never heard a word about it, how did it suddenly spread like this?"

"This is interesting. These two mansions, which seem to have nothing in common, actually have this kind of relationship."

"Don't jump to conclusions yet; who knows if it's just a rumor?"

"That's unlikely, isn't it? Who would be so bold as to spread such a rumor? Besides, there's no benefit in spreading such a rumor." "That's true."

"So what exactly happened? Anyone who knows the inside story, please tell me quickly."

"Yeah, yeah, I'm so curious!"

"I heard that this news was released by the Rong'an Marquis's mansion, so it's probably true."

"Huh? If that's the case, why don't the two families acknowledge their kinship?"

"Yes, that's really strange!"

"."

Lu Yin was furious. "They're so shameless! So shameless!"

Xu Zhichun scoffed: "They think they can force me to back down like this? They're dreaming. Husband, I'm going to sue them."

Without hesitation, Liang Minglang agreed.

Lu Yin couldn't help but feel a little worried and quickly said, "What if they require a blood test for kinship?"

In Lu Yin's view, the reason they dared to act so blatantly without consulting her first must be because they were planning to use a blood test to determine kinship. Once the blood test was conducted, they would have no choice but to accept the kinship.

Refusing to undergo a blood test for kinship is unacceptable; wouldn't that be a sign of guilt?

Liang Minglang hadn't thought of this before, and after Lu Yin reminded him, he was a little worried, but he added, "There's always a way, and we'll make sure he can't detect it."

They're determined to sabotage things.

Xu Zhichun shared the same thought, nodding and smiling: "Yes, we can't just call it a successful test."

Xu Zhichun knew perfectly well that a blood test for kinship was unreliable, but it was better to be safe than sorry. What if their blood really did mix? Then things would be complicated.

So, just to be on the safe side, we definitely have to do something.

Lu Yin was relieved.

As this news caused a great uproar, even the Empress Dowager expressed her concern and summoned the Emperor to inquire about it. The Rong Anbo couple were even more pleased with themselves, believing that they had controlled the direction of public opinion. They declared that although Xu Zhichun was rebellious and disowned her parents, as long as she repented and was willing to come to their door to apologize, they could still forgive her and allow her to return to her ancestral home.

As a result, many people came to understand.
No wonder there was no news at all before; it turns out that Xu Zhichun, the wife of the Marquis of Wuxuan, was unwilling to acknowledge her parents.

On another note, who was Rong'an Earl's first wife? It seems she passed away quite early. This Xu woman was abducted and raised by others, but her adoptive parents are also gone. She must have suffered a lot outside, no wonder she refuses to acknowledge them back.

However, this is too cold-blooded and heartless.

Even if she was abducted when she was young, you can't blame Rong Anbo. It wasn't Rong Anbo who ordered it; it was just fate.

Today, by some stroke of luck, she has been able to return to the capital and find her roots again. What incredible fortune! So many abducted women wouldn't even dare to dream of such a thing! How could she not acknowledge her own father?

Even if they were a little dramatic, they would only complain a few times. Why go to such lengths?

Now that Marquis Rong'an has taken the initiative to acknowledge her, with the Marquis Rong'an's mansion backing her up in the future, she will have someone to rely on in the Marquis Wuxuan's mansion, and her position as the Marquis's wife will be more secure. Isn't that great?

I really don't understand what she's making a fuss about.

Making a scene like this will do her no good.
Just as everyone was shaking their heads and sighing, complaining that the wife of Marquis Wuxuan was too cold-hearted and didn't even want her own father, who would have thought that Xu Zhichun would file a lawsuit against Marquis Rong'an and his wife in the government!

Xu Zhichun sued them for spreading nonsense and ruining his reputation!
She publicly denied being the daughter of the Marquis of Rong'an, stating that her parents had long since passed away and that she had no connection whatsoever with the Marquis of Rong'an's household!
