After the marriage was broken off, the whole village next door regretted it

Chapter 294: Madam Bai Takes Action

As expected, Sang started to make a fuss and almost ran out of Ma's house. Many people on the street saw it and inevitably gathered outside Ma's house to talk about it.

That night, two carriages left the Ma residence in a low-key manner.

After Ma Xingteng and the others settled down, they immediately went to Zhaohua County with the strawberry jam.

Strawberry jam was in short supply, so the deal could be done without going through the Bai family. Ma Xingteng waited until the strawberry jam was sold out before going to the Bai Mansion to meet Mr. Bai.

The father-in-law and son-in-law talked for a long time in the study.

Mr. Bai asked someone to call Bai's biological mother Qin and said, "Rong'er's mother-in-law is very ill and has caused quite a mess. Shi Liu, who is by her side, has betrayed her. It is difficult for her to handle the affairs of the Ma family alone. Since you have nothing to do, go back with your son-in-law to help Rong'er. It would also be nice if you can talk to her."

Qin was flattered and couldn't believe that such a good thing would happen to her. She asked tremblingly, "Master, do I need to tell Madam at this time?"

Ma Xingteng's heart tightened, but he said calmly, "My mother-in-law is not feeling well. I wanted to go over and tell her, but I was afraid that she would be upset, so I only discussed it with my father-in-law."

Mr. Bai nodded slightly, "Madam needs to rest. The general affairs of the mansion are now managed by the eldest young lady's wife. You just need to tell her. I will tell Madam in two days."

In Mr. Bai's opinion, this matter is nothing at all.

He is old now and doesn't have much interest in women, so Qin is naturally of little use to him.

Besides, Qin is no longer pretty, and keeping her in the mansion would just be an extra idle person. It would be better to let Qin go to the Ma family, so that the mansion can save some expenses.

Qin was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Mr. Bai and went back to pack her luggage.

Ma Xingteng waited until Qin had finished packing before going with her to see Zhu.

Zhu Dezhi was very supportive of Qin's plan to go to the Bai family. Her idea was the same as Master Bai's. The financial situation of the Bai Mansion had not been good in recent years. There were many servants in the mansion, most of whom had no jobs, and they still had to be supported by money. She had been dissatisfied with this for a long time.

Especially Mr. Bai's concubine, a real parasite, who dares not do anything, and yet receives a lot of monthly salary.

Seeing Zhu's ready agreement, Qin was even happier. Before leaving, she asked, "Madam, how are you going to pay my monthly salary in the future?"

Zhu's face froze.

Ma Xingteng, who was standing by, never expected Qin to ask this and subconsciously looked at Zhu.

Zhu's face looked a little ugly. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Ma Xingteng say, "Aunt, it is not reasonable for you to receive the monthly salary if you don't live in the mansion."

Zhu's expression eased a little, and then she heard Ma Xingteng change the subject and said, "But after all, you gave birth to a daughter for the Bai family, so the Bai family should support you."

Zhu's face fell again.

Ma Xingteng thought about it and said, "How about this? Madam, return Concubine Qin's indenture contract to her, and I will take her back to the Ma family. From now on, Concubine Qin will belong to the Ma family and have nothing to do with the Bai family."

"How can that be possible! Aunt Qin gave birth to a child for the Bai family after all. We in the Bai family are not that cold-blooded and heartless family!" Zhu refused.

Ma Xingteng smiled and said, "I heard that the concubines of my elder brother who had given birth to children also married other people, and they were all good families found by you. Not only did it save the expenses of the mansion, but it also left a good reputation. Qin Yi Niang's situation is similar to theirs. I also made such a suggestion because my family is in a mess. It would be more useful for Qin Yi Niang to go to my house than to stay in the Bai Mansion.

Madam Young Master's agreement is a great help to me. I will definitely repay Madam Young Master for this favor in the future. What do you think?"

Not to mention, Zhu was really moved. She was hypocritical at the moment and just asked, "If I also want to do the strawberry jam business, can you agree?"

"I agree! How could I not agree? We are all family, and we should help each other." Ma Xingteng answered without any hesitation.

Zhu was happy. She asked Rulan to find Qin's indenture contract and give it to Ma Xingteng. She whispered, "My mother-in-law is in charge of Qin's indenture contract. I can't make any decisions without her consent. Fortunately, she is sick and I have the key to the storehouse. Let's do this quietly. You guys can leave quickly!"

Ma Xingteng thanked him again, this time with more sincerity.

Zhu watched the two men get on the carriage and leave, and returned to her own yard in a very good mood.

Rulan asked hesitantly, "Master, if you let Aunt Qin leave like this, the Madam will definitely make trouble for you when she finds out."

Zhu sneered indifferently, "What are you afraid of! She is now a toothless tiger. She can't hurt me even if she pounces on me. She is just a concubine Qin. It's worth it to trade her for a profitable business!"

Even if my father-in-law knew, he wouldn't say anything. After all, the Bai family's business is declining, and several of the shops are almost unable to survive. We have to find a solution quickly."

Rulan heard this and stopped talking.

Mrs. Bai didn't know that Ma Xingteng had come to the Bai family until the next day. When she heard the name, her face immediately darkened. "Where's Bai Rong? Did she come back with us?"

Nanny Li stepped forward and replied respectfully, "No, only Ma Xingteng went to the master's study, and then went to see the eldest young lady with Aunt Qin. I wanted to inquire, but the eldest young lady's people stopped me outside and even asked someone to watch me go back to the main courtyard to serve the lady.

I was not allowed to leave this courtyard. I only hurried to report to you this morning after I heard that Ma Xingteng had returned."

She thought Ma Xingteng would stay in the county for a few more days and would come to visit her in the next few days, so there was no need to rush. But who knew that the bastard would just run away without saying anything.

Mrs. Bai was unhappy, very unhappy, and coldly ordered: "Go to the Ma family and tell them that I am seriously ill and ask Bai Rong to come back to take care of me."

Nanny Li hurried out to make arrangements. As soon as she arrived at the backyard, she saw Zhu getting on the carriage and leaving. She turned around hesitantly, but Zhu stopped her and said, "What do you want?"

"No...I'm fine." Nanny Li lowered her head guiltily.

Zhu sneered, "Madame Li, I know your temper. I advise you to be sensible and talk about it. Don't force me to do it!"

Nanny Li thought of her own knocked-out teeth and knelt down in fear. "Madam, the Madam is ill and she misses her child. She asked this old servant to notify Miss Rong and the others to come back."

"Cough, cough, cough..." Zhu was choked by her saliva. She looked at Madam Li in disbelief, with an angry look on her face. "Madam Li! Mother is confused because of her illness. Are you confused too? A daughter who is married off is like water spilled. My sister-in-law and the others are no longer members of the Bai family.

"She's already busy with her husband's family affairs, how can you call her whenever she wants? You really take yourself too seriously!"

Zhu sneered without any hesitation.

Nanny Li didn't dare to talk back at all.
