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

A family dinner at the mighty general’s mansion.

Although it is called a family dinner, there may not be that many people.

The old lady sat on the south side of the long table, and on the left sat the second family, and on the right sat the first family. Seeing that Song Zhan and Nan Hongqiu had no children to serve them, Song Wanning and Song Jing were both there.

Seeing this scene, the old lady's dissatisfaction with Nan Hongqiu was aroused. She only had one biological son, Song Zhan. Who would have thought that Nan Hongqiu had only given birth to two daughters and no sons after being married for so many years.

On weekdays, the house is always noisy and noisy with the daughters around, and the feeling is not deep. Now that Nan Hongqiu's daughters are married, the house has suddenly become deserted.

The old lady was not satisfied, so she naturally wanted to find fault with Nan Hongqiu first. "Second son's wife, you have been praying to the gods and asking people for medicine these days. You have done a lot of things, but why is there still no movement in your stomach?"

Seeing that Song Zhan is getting older year by year, the eldest son Song Lan is now almost old enough to get married, but the second son is still nowhere to be seen.

Over the years, Nan Hongqiu has only relied on her clever mouth to make the old lady happy. If she can't give birth again in the future, I'm afraid the old lady will no longer agree with her. In this family, she should also be given a good life.

Nan Hongqiu smiled awkwardly when she saw this, and then she thought of the incident on Red Leaf Mountain, and quickly said to the old lady, "Grandma, I know I feel guilty, so I specifically asked around. There is a Guanyin Temple on Red Leaf Mountain, and I heard that it is very effective for praying for children. For this reason, I will go to Red Leaf Mountain to worship in a few days, so that I can have a baby this year."

All the girls in the second house are now married, and Nan Hongqiu has no children. This has been a concern for Song Zhan and Nan Hongqiu for many years. Now Nan Hongqiu is almost 40 years old. She went to Hongye Mountain this time, thinking about plotting against Song Wanning, and hoping to pray for a son in the Guanyin Temple there.

"Remember, you can only pray for a son, don't give birth to another cheap girl. You won't get a sound even if you hit her with three sticks." The old lady was finally satisfied after hearing this. As she spoke, her eyes fell on Song Wanning and she said, "Wanning will follow too."

Before Song Wanning could speak, Song Lan at the side had already spoken, "Grandfather, my sister doesn't need to pray for a child."

"I didn't ask Wan Ning to pray for a child." The old lady rolled her eyes at Song Zhan and said coldly, "Recently, things have not been going well in our general's mansion. Sister Shi was a good girl, but she was poisoned and her face was disfigured. I think she was touched by some evil spirit. So I asked the women in the family to go to Hongye Mountain to bathe and fast for a few days to ensure their safety."

Song Lan has always been shameless, and he immediately said, "I see that our eldest house is doing well, so I'm afraid you don't need to go. Since it's my aunt's daughter who's in trouble, I just need to go and pray, hoping that my sister Shi will become young and beautiful."

The old lady was about to start scolding, but Song Jing, who was sitting next to her, saw her expression and immediately spoke up, saying, "You bastard, how can you talk to an old ancestor like that?"

Seeing this, Song Lan quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake, "I know I was wrong, Dad."

Song Jing snorted coldly and ignored his naughty son.

Seeing that none of the first wife's family wanted Song Wan Ning to go and bathe and fast, the old lady hurriedly said, "I heard that the temple on Red Leaf Mountain is not only for Goddess Guanyin, but other temples are also very effective. I have been feeling unwell these days, so I thought of asking the children to go up the mountain to bathe and fast for a few days to pray for me, so that I can live longer. It's a pity that Sister Shi and Sister Xiu are both married, otherwise they would definitely make this trip for me."

As the old lady spoke, she looked straight at Song Wanning and smiled slightly, "Wanning has always been a filial child. I think she is willing to live in the mountains for a few days for me. Wanning agrees, right?"

Since the old lady had said this, Song Wanning could not refuse. If Song Wanning did not go, she would be known as someone who disrespected her elders.

Seeing this, Song Wanning knew that she had to go to the Red Leaf Mountain, so she could only smile and reply, "What the ancestor said is true. Since this concerns the safety of the ancestor, the granddaughter is naturally willing to make this trip. It's just a matter of fasting for a few days, so it shouldn't be a difficult task."

Song Lan has always been disrespectful to his elders. Sitting next to Song Wanning, he only said in a very low voice, "What is this old woman going crazy about again?"

As soon as Song Lan finished speaking, he was kicked by Song Jing, and he grimaced in pain. Song Wanning, who was sitting aside, couldn't help laughing when watching this scene.

Seeing that Song Wanning agreed, the old lady felt that she still had authority in this family, and immediately waved to the maid beside her happily, "Since it has been decided, the second family should pack up and pick a good day to take Sister Ning up the mountain."

Nan Hongqiu also smiled and said yes.

Song Lan spoke again at this time, "Since my sister is going, I'll go too."

Nan Hongqiu smiled awkwardly again and said to Song Lan, "Brother Lan, there are only nuns practicing on Hongye Mountain. There are no meditation rooms for male guests. If Brother Lan goes with you, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate. If it gets out, people will laugh at you."

After hearing this, Song Lan just said "oh" in disappointment.

Song Jing, on the other hand, sensed something was wrong and looked at Nan Hongqiu and said, "If only women are allowed to stay and practice at Hongye Mountain, then if you women encounter some bad guys with bad intentions, wouldn't it be hard for you to resist?"

Nan Hongqiu was now smiling generously, "Brother, you are worrying too much. I heard that there are many girls from official families in the capital who practice cultivation, and they have never made any mistakes. We go in a more secretive way, and there will definitely be no problem."

Song Lan raised his head and looked at Nan Hongqiu with a fake smile, "If my sister loses a hair, don't blame me for being hard on my second aunt."

Nan Hongqiu now looked embarrassed, and just looked at Song Lan and said, "Brother Lan's words have put auntie in a difficult position. There are probably quite a few girls from official families who practice in Hongye Mountain, so how could there be so many bad guys."

Song Lan sighed, "I'm afraid there are people who care..."

When Song Jing heard Song Lan say this, he was about to kick him again, but Song Lan dodged before Song Jing could kick him and disappeared in a flash.

Song Jing smiled and looked at Nan Hongqiu, "Sister-in-law, my son is really naughty, please bear with me."

Nan Hongqiu resisted the urge to roll her eyes and smiled. The father and son were playing the good cop and the bad cop, but they couldn't do anything about it. Nan Hongqiu's eyes fell on Song Wanning, and she felt much better. It wouldn't be long before she would get her revenge.
