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

Shanzha, Song Wanxiu's personal maid, saw Nan Hongqiu at the gate of Wang's house. Although she wanted to sneak into the house, she was called to her side by Mother Xu, so she had to go to Nan Hongqiu.

Shanzha bowed to Nan Hongqiu, huddled beside the carriage, lowered his head and whispered to Nan Hongqiu, "Madam."

Nan Hongqiu stared at Shanzha, questioning her like a mistress, "Where does Xiujie go without you? Why did I see you go out alone today?"

Shanzha lowered her head and spoke slowly, "Grandma is not feeling well, so she asked me to go out of the mansion to buy some things for her."

"Not feeling well?" Nan Hongqiu frowned upon hearing this. "Didn't the guard just say that your grandmother went out and didn't know when she would be back?"

When Shanzha heard this, she immediately panicked and hurriedly tried to make excuses for herself, "Yes, yes, our grandma went out. I did something wrong these few days, and grandma got angry and didn't let me serve her closely. I only carried the gourd with me when I went out. I didn't want to lose face in front of the madam, so I lied."

Shanzha and Hulu were both Song Wanxiu's personal maids, and they were married to the Wang family with Song Wanxiu. Nan Hongqiu didn't believe that Shanzha had done something wrong and was unwelcome.

Just thinking about this, Nan Hongqiu realized that Song Wanxiu in the mansion probably did not go out, just because she was divorced and her reputation was ruined, Song Wanxiu did not want to see her in her husband's family.

Nan Hongqiu was furious now, and cursed at Shanzha, "Go in and tell Song Wanxiu that she treats me as if I never gave birth to such an unfilial daughter. She blocked my parents at the door and refused to welcome them in. If this gets out, she won't have a good reputation."

Seeing this, Shanzha had no choice but to agree repeatedly and quickly ran into the mansion.

Mother Xu stood beside Nan Hongqiu and tried to comfort her, "I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding. If the madam talks to the girl like this, I'm afraid the girl will be angry and sad if she hears it."

Nan Hongqiu closed her eyes tiredly, with a resentful look on her face, "It's not that I want to say this, it's just that this daughter is unfilial. Such an unfilial daughter would be better off drowned in a stinking ditch right after she was born."

Mother Xu also sighed repeatedly and followed Nan Hongqiu all the way to Nan Mansion.

Mother Xu was an old servant who had followed Nan Hongqiu for decades. Nan Hongqiu was not happy now and started to talk about her grievances. "I have paid so much for these two daughters over the years, but who would have thought that I would be framed and no one would be willing to help me. If it weren't for them, why would I be such a vicious woman, scheming against Ning Jie'er every day? Didn't I just want them to marry better and have a smoother life in their husband's family in the future? Now that I am no longer in power, they are all so ruthless."

"Don't be too angry, Madam. Right now, the situation is very tense. The two girls are probably having a hard time in their husband's family." Seeing that Nan Hongqiu couldn't understand, Madam Xu tried to comfort her, "Just wait until the situation is over. After all, the two girls are Madam's own children, and they will definitely do good for Madam."

"I hope so." Nan Hongqiu said this and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Mother Xu at the side thought for a moment and said to Nan Hongqiu, "Madam, do you think that ever since Song Wanning returned to the General's Mansion after the divorce, she has been able to resolve everything we planned against her, and even backfired on us. Could it be that this Sister Ning has some otherworldly expert guiding her?"

Nan Hongqiu also felt strange after hearing what Mother Xu said, "When Ning Jie'er was still unmarried, although she was a little stubborn, she was still in my control. I don't know if it's because she got married once, she became bolder and more careful. Otherwise, how could she have such a mind and means?"

"Let's not talk about other things, just look at these two recent things. I saw with my own eyes that the bellyband thing was foolproof, but in the end it was turned around and became Sister Shi's." The more Mother Xu thought about it, the more strange it felt. "Later, when it came to the incident on Red Leaf Mountain, all the princesses in the palace took action, but who would have thought that it would end up like this? I'm afraid Song Wanning couldn't have done it alone, right?"

Nan Hongqiu also felt that what Mother Xu said made sense, so she held her breath and said, "I'm afraid it's just her future husband who is helping her. I've heard that the Prime Minister has connections and spies all over the capital."

Mother Xu was also worried when she thought of this. "Madam, the Prime Minister's power in the capital is so great that even the General's Mansion can hardly compete with him. He is now very popular in front of the emperor. I'm afraid we can't do anything to Song Wanning anymore."

Nan Hongqiu gnashed her teeth when she mentioned Song Wanning. "If that's the case, don't act rashly and just wait for a chance in the future. The higher Yin Yichen climbs now, the harder he will fall in the future. We can only wait and see him turn into dust in the future. That will be the time for us to take revenge. I don't believe Yin Yichen can protect Song Wanning for the rest of her life."

Mother Xu also agreed and gave Song Wanning some advice, "Now the Zhongping Marquis' Mansion is probably also gnashing with hatred for Sister Ning. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Madam, why don't you use Sister Shi as a link to unite with the Zhongping Marquis' Mansion, which will make it easier for you to act in the future."

Nan Hongqiu felt that what Mother Xu said made sense, so she just whispered, "Mother Xu is just going to make the arrangements. When I return to the Nan family and gain a firm foothold, I will definitely ask for everything that Sister Ning owes us in the future."

Within two days, the general's mansion called the elders of the clan and divided the property into the first and second wives.

The territories of the first and second branches of the general's mansion were originally separate, and now all they had to do was block the connecting brick door and there would be no difference between the two houses.

Seeing that Song Jing was determined to split the family, the old lady and Song Zhan had no choice but to stop pestering him. They thought it would be good to get more property. Who would have thought that Song Lan, this scoundrel, would stick to it and rely on his eloquence to prevent the second branch from getting any benefits.

After the family was divided, Song Jing quickly built a new gate in the eldest wife's mansion. From then on, the gate of the general's mansion was moved, and the former gate became the Song Mansion, and its grandeur was not as great as before.

Seeing that Song Wanning's wedding day was approaching, the general's mansion became lively. Although there were many people in and outside the palace who said sour words, thinking that Song Wanning, a second-married woman, could marry Yin Yichen, Song Wanning was really blessed to have eaten pie in the sky.

But now that the matter is done, there is really nothing that can be done if outsiders say that the two of them are not a good match.

Song Wanning prepared her dowry in the mansion every day. Although she had been married once before, she was still young when she married into the Zhongping Marquis's Mansion, and the embroidery in her dowry was all bought by Nan Hongqiu on the street.

Song Wanning now, like most brides, has started to embroider for herself.

Who would have thought that after a while, Song Jing came to her yard, and said solemnly, "Wan Ning, come here, Dad has something to tell you."
