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

Song Wanning's face was slightly cold. She looked at Song Wanshi's receding back and said in a low voice, "I hope she didn't put any drugs in the wine. Otherwise, she will have to eat the bitter fruit by herself."

Song Wanshi's methods were not very clever. She grew up in luxury, and Nan Hongqiu's love made her develop such an arrogant and domineering temper. Now even her methods of harming others are so stupid. If she doesn't change, I'm afraid she will have hard times ahead.

But Song Wanshi was unaware of all this, and she thought her plan was successful.

The next morning, Song Wanshi got up in a very good mood and asked her maid to help her wash and comb her clothes.

Song Wanshi sat in front of the bronze mirror and looked at her face. She felt that something was a little strange. She turned her head and looked at Shaoyao behind her. "Shaoyao, do you think there is something strange about my face today? Why do I feel a little different from yesterday?"

Shaoyao was stunned for a moment, then observed Song Wanshi's face but didn't find anything unusual. She just responded softly, "Miss, your face is fine, there's nothing strange about it. I'm afraid you didn't sleep well yesterday, you look a little haggard."

Song Wanshi nodded suspiciously, but couldn't think of any other reason.

Seeing that Song Wanshi's wedding day was getting closer, although she didn't want to get married, there was nothing she could do to change it now. It was just that because she had just caused Song Wanning to suffer a great loss, Song Wanshi was not as resistant as before, but became much more honest.

On the day of Song Wanshi's wedding, Nan Hongqiu, because she doted on Song Wanshi, specially prepared a lot of dowry for her. On the surface, it seemed to be comparable to the dowry that Song Wanning had received when she married into the Zhongping Marquis' Mansion.

However, only the people in the General's Mansion knew that many of Nan Hongqiu's dowries were empty, just to give Song Wanshi face and prevent her from being bullied by the people in Zhongping Marquis' Mansion. Many of the more than 100 dowries contained worthless items such as bowls, plates and quilts.

Although the first and second wives in the general's mansion were not in harmony on weekdays, they always had to pretend to be harmonious on such a big day.

The maids in the general's mansion ran to see the bride, Song Wanshi, and even Zhuque, a subordinate of Song Wanning, went along to join in the fun. However, after a while, Zhuque came back quietly and brought news to Song Wanning.

"Miss, I followed the servants of the general's mansion to see Miss Shi, and I saw Miss Shi wearing the makeup of a bride, but for some reason, Miss Shi's face and figure looked a bit strange." Zhuque squatted beside Song Wanning, talking about what he saw, and said in a low voice, "Although Miss Shi didn't look as beautiful as you, she was still the daughter of the general's mansion, and she would have some color after dressing up. I don't know why, but when I went to see her today, I felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't tell what was wrong."

Before Song Wanning could say anything, Zhuque, who was sitting on the other side of her, said, "Zhuque loves to make a fuss. I guess the makeup lady just didn't do it well. If Madam Nan in the mansion finds out, she will definitely scold the makeup lady and ask her to redo it."

"I'm not talking nonsense." Zhuque curled her lips, "I think Miss Shi has indeed changed a bit. I guess I was wrong."

After hearing what Zhuque said, Song Wanning was also a little surprised. "All the girls in the mansion will go to see her off soon. If I can get a chance, I will go and see what she looks like."

In Cuihua Courtyard today, Caique's guess turned out to be correct. Nan Hongqiu flew into a rage after seeing Song Wanshi's makeup. She said to the makeup lady who was hired at a high price, "I hired her because I heard that she has good skills. But how could you make my daughter look like this? How can I show my daughter this way when I get to Marquis Zhongping's Mansion?"

The mother who was doing Song Wanshi's makeup also felt wronged. She looked at Nan Hongqiu and said, "Madam, it's not that I don't want to do it, but I have done my best to make the girl look like this. If you are not satisfied, just wait for me to wash off the original makeup and do it again."

Song Wanshi was now wearing her wedding dress but she felt very nervous. She just looked at Nan Hongqiu and whispered, "Mother, forget it. It may be too late to put on makeup again now."

Nan Hongqiu didn't know what to say, so she could only pat Song Wanshi's shoulder to comfort her, and said in a low voice, "Our sister Shi is getting married today. She should be the most beautiful woman in the world, but who would have thought that the makeup girl we hired with a lot of money would not do a good job. After your wedding banquet, mother will not let her spend so much money like this."

Song Wanshi just forced a smile. She felt that her face was getting stranger day by day, and her limbs were not as delicate as before. She really didn't know why.

There was another reason that Song Wanshi didn't dare to think about. She absolutely didn't believe that she was the one who drank Du Rongfang that day. She didn't believe it.

Seeing that the time for her wedding was approaching, Nan Hongqiu took out the red veil that had been prepared long ago and covered Song Wanshi's head with it. Following the mother's call outside, Song Wanshi left Cuihua Courtyard and got on the sedan chair to the Zhongping Marquis' Mansion.

Song Wanning stood at the door. Although she couldn't see Song Wanshi's face, she felt that her walking posture was a bit strange. The way she walked now didn't look like a strong young woman.

Song Wanning looked but could not see any clues.

The general's mansion was very lively, but now the palace was in an uproar.

Xianfei's Dehua Palace was in a state of commotion. Princess Xiangyu looked at Xianfei with a resentful look on her face and said, "Mother, I heard that a girl from the general's mansion has already married. It won't be long before the prime minister and Song Wanning are also going to get married. Mother, can you think of a solution for me?"

"Now that the Prime Minister has asked your father for an imperial decree, what can I do?" Concubine Xian sighed and looked at Princess Xiangyu and said, "You and the Prime Minister are not destined to be together. You can only wait for your mother to find a better one for you."

"Is there any better man in the world than the Prime Minister?" Princess Xiangyu sobbed twice and said sadly, "If he can't marry me, I would rather let Song Wanning live a miserable life than let them live in harmony."

Princess Xiangyu suddenly had an idea and gave advice to the virtuous concubine beside her, "Mother, if not, let's give the Prime Minister's Mansion a concubine to make their lives difficult."

"I'm afraid this matter is difficult to handle." After hearing what Princess Xiangyu said, Concubine Xian felt that this matter was feasible. "I heard that Song Jing from the General's Mansion was originally dissatisfied with the Prime Minister. If he is allowed to take more concubines now, I'm afraid that this marriage may not be successful."
