Favoring concubines and ignoring wives? The mistress of the marquisate remarried a powerful official

The next day.

Because Song Wanning had already agreed to Wen Tingbai's request to take Cui Xiaoxiao to Pingyuan Houfu, and Wen Tingbai felt that bringing two carriages was too ostentatious, he let Cui Xiaoxiao and Song Wanning ride in one carriage. Wen Tingbai rode a horse in front of the carriage, and the group of people walked forward in a mighty manner.

In the carriage, Cui Xiaoxiao saw Song Wanning taking a nap with her eyes closed. Thinking of herself now in power, she naturally did not want to miss this great opportunity to ridicule her. "Hey, Song Wanning. You are a legitimate daughter, the mistress of the Marquis's mansion, and you have become like this. Don't you feel like a failure?"

Cui Xiaoxiao felt even more unwilling to see Song Wanning didn't say anything, and continued to look at Song Wanning, "Don't women in your area value dignity and respect the most? Now you have lost your housekeeping power, and you have to ride in the same car with your concubine when you go out. How can you tolerate such a shameful thing? If I were you, I would have divorced you long ago. Otherwise, I would have jumped into the well and drowned myself."

"It turns out that Miss Xiao Xiao is so clear about her status and knows that concubines are not presentable." Song Wanning slowly opened her eyes and looked at Cui Xiaoxiao, saying lightly, "Since you know that it is embarrassing for the wife to ride in the same car with a concubine, you still continue to hang around in the car and make the second master embarrassed outside. Don't you keep saying that you love him? Do you love him so much?"

"You..." Cui Xiaoxiao was furious after hearing what Song Wanning said. She was about to curse back when she remembered something and said with a smile, "You can only beat me in verbal skills. I have already obtained the power of housekeeper. You, the legal wife, are living worse than a concubine. It's really pitiful."

"Not only Tingbai, even your son Xuge'er is on my side." Cui Xiaoxiao continued to laugh, "I heard a few days ago that your father was a mighty general of the dynasty, but it's a pity that he has been away and never came back. If your father knew that you have become like this now, would he be disappointed?"

Song Wanning looked at Cui Xiaoxiao. Song Wanning had a pair of very beautiful eyes, which looked very charming all the time. But Cui Xiaoxiao felt a little scared when she saw him, and stammered, "You, why are you looking at me like that?"

Song Wanning chuckled and said word by word, "If my father and brother were still here, would they still allow you to be so arrogant? I'm afraid you would have died a thousand times."

Cui Xiaoxiao was frightened by Song Wanning's words for a moment, and she held onto the carriage and gasped for breath. She knew in her heart that what Song Wanning said was definitely not a joke. In this place now, power can crush people to death. That's why she held on to Wen Tingbo tightly and was unwilling to let go.

Cui Xiaoxiao had just recovered when the carriage from the Zhongping Marquis's Mansion arrived at the Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion.

Fang Sui, the third son of Pingyuan Marquis, stood at the door to greet the guests. There were also many waiters and maids standing at the door. As long as they saw a carriage stop, they would quickly step forward to greet people. It was quite a scene.

When the gatekeeper Xiao Si saw Wen Tingbai and the carriage behind him, he hurriedly shouted to the back, "Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai are here——"

After a while, two little maids ran out and stood beside the carriage, waiting to greet Song Wanning who got off the carriage.

When the little maid saw the curtain being lifted, she stretched out her hand and lowered her head, waiting for Song Wanning to help her get off the carriage. Soon, Cui Xiaoxiao naturally stretched out her hand and placed it on the back of the maid's hand. The maid saw a pair of hands supporting her and thought it was Song Wanning, so she helped Song Wanning walk to the door.

Cui Xiaoxiao was very pleased to be treated like this and soon walked to Wen Tingbai's side.

Fang Sui was standing at the door. When he saw Wen Tingbo, he went forward to greet him. He looked at Wen Tingbo and said, "Brother Tingbo, it's been a long time since we last met. I didn't expect that you would come to visit me. It's really an honor for my humble abode. Please come in."

"My dear brother, you are too polite." Wen Tingbai said with a smile, "Now that your family has a big happy event, I should come no matter what."

Fang Sui saw Cui Xiaoxiao beside Wen Tingbo and felt unfamiliar, but Cui Xiaoxiao was holding Wen Tingbo's arm, looking like they had a close relationship. Fang Sui casually asked, "Brother Tingbo, who is this..."

Wen Tingbai looked at Fang Sui's eyes. Now Cui Xiaoxiao was holding Wen Tingbai's arm. Wen Tingbai didn't feel proud, but just felt his face burning. He said vaguely, "Her name is Xiao Xiao, she is... from my house..."

Fang Sui understood what Wen Tingbai was doing, and did not make things difficult for him. He looked at Wen Tingbai and said, "Second sister-in-law didn't come today? She is very close to my wife, and my wife was looking forward to her coming."

Wen Tingbai heaved a sigh of relief when Fang Sui changed the subject. He looked at the carriageway behind him and said, "Here they are. They are almost getting out of the carriage."

Fang Sui immediately glanced at the little maid behind him and said, "Mrs. Bai is still in the car, why don't you go get her?"

The little maid beside Fang Sui hurried forward, but before she reached the carriage, Song Wanning's personal maid Cai Que had already taken Song Wanning down from the carriage.

When Fang Sui saw Song Wanning, he quickly stepped forward and greeted her with a smile, "Second sister-in-law, I've finally had you here. Yuyuan was still saying yesterday that she was worried you wouldn't come."

When Song Wanning heard about Liu Yuyuan, she smiled a little and looked at Fang Sui and said, "How dare you not come? If I don't come, she will probably come to my house in a few days to teach me a lesson."

"Please come in, sister-in-law. Yuyuan is waiting for you in the yard now." Fang Sui said as he made a gesture of invitation.

Cui Xiaoxiao stood beside Wen Tingbo. Seeing that Song Wanning was treated much better than her, she became unhappy for a moment and pulled Wen Tingbo's sleeve and said, "Tingbo, I am the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion now. Why is Song Wanning being treated like this?"

"General Song has made great military achievements, and Wan Ning is a close friend of Brother Fang's wife, so it's normal for them to be close." Wen Tingbai watched the maid lead Song Wan Ning into the yard through the side door, and just comforted Cui Xiaoxiao, "Xiao Xiao, don't think too much."

Cui Xiaoxiao snorted coldly and followed Wen Tingbo into the inner room.

The full moon banquet at Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion was attended by all the nobles. When they learned that Wen Tingbo had brought his concubine to visit someone else's home, they looked at Wen Tingbo with strange eyes.

Wen Tingbai felt embarrassed and regretted bringing Cui Xiaoxiao to Pingyuan Marquis's residence. If he had brought only Song Wanning, he might have received praise from his colleagues. After all, Song Wanning was well-educated and could not find fault with her in such an occasion.

Wen Tingbai was thinking this, but he didn't know that people in the backyard of Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion were also talking about him and Cui Xiaoxiao.

Liu Yuyuan was born into a noble family, and her ancestors were all scholars. After hearing about what Wen Tingbai had done, she became even more surprised, "Wan Ning, are the rumors outside true? Did Wen Tingbai really let a concubine run the household in the Marquis' Mansion?"
