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

After beating her, Wen Tingbai kicked Cui Xiaoxiao on the ground and dragged her out by the arm. "Want to sell her? No way. She is mine in life and mine in death. I want her to pay off her debts in the Marquis' Mansion for the rest of her life."

"Hey... How can this be possible?" Song Wanshi was immediately unhappy. If Wen Tingbo took Cui Xiaoxiao away now, wouldn't all her property made by Cui Xiaoxiao be gone? "You can take her away, but give me back the money."

"She is mine, and it is my decision whether to sell her or not. You have no right to say anything." Wen Tingbai said coldly, dragging Cui Xiaoxiao out of the yard, "You are the second wife of Bai now, so you should help to bear the loss of the property. I hope you can remember not to waste your time in the future. If you do, not only will you lose your dowry, but also the family property."

Seeing that Wen Tingbo was now very angry, Song Wanshi was unable to do anything about Cui Xiaoxiao for the moment and could only watch Cui Xiaoxiao being taken away by Wen Tingbo.

Although Song Wanshi was angry, she could not betray Cui Xiaoxiao again.

Song Wanning is now in charge of the family in the courtyard. On weekdays, many things in the Prime Minister's Mansion are arranged, and she has a period of leisure. She always does things in an orderly and methodical manner.

Just as Song Wanning was yawning in the yard, the maid Zhuque came in from outside with a note. She looked at Song Wanning and said, "Madam, the Lu family sent a note to you, inviting you to come over and sit for a while. They just said they have something to ask you."

Song Wanning raised her eyebrows, remembering that Lu Zijun had helped her on Red Leaf Mountain after all. Earlier, Lu Zijun had helped her out despite her reputation as a shrew. Now, she should go to this post.

Song Wanning accepted the invitation, but then she remembered that Lu Zijun was probably only seventeen years old now, but still had no engagement, which was indeed a little late compared to other families in the capital.

Lu Zijun was originally engaged to Wen Tingxun of the Marquis Zhongping's Mansion. However, later on, Wen Tingbai favored his concubine and neglected his wife, which ruined the reputation of the Marquisate. The Lu family was afraid that Lu Zijun would suffer the same fate as Song Wanning if she married him, so they advocated canceling the marriage.

Who would have thought that Lu Zijun has not found a suitable husband yet? Mr. and Mrs. Lu must be very anxious. The daughter of the Minister of Works is already a high-ranking official. Now that the daughter of the family is still not getting married, it may have attracted a lot of rumors.

Song Wanning was willing to help, so she replied to the post and said she would visit the next day.

Now she has sold almost all the tea she had collected and made a lot of money.

After the accounts were settled, Song Wanning stretched and then she remembered that the sun was about to set and Yin Yichen had not returned home yet.

Song Wanning gathered up the pens, ink, paper and inkstone on the table and said to Zhuque and Caique behind her, "Is the Prime Minister not back yet?"

However, it was not the two maids who responded to Song Wanning, but Yin Yichen, "I'm back. There have been a lot of things to do in the court these days, and the officials were all lazy when I gave them the tasks. I could only watch them deal with the tasks before I came back."

Song Wanning responded and turned to look at Yin Yichen, who was wearing a crimson official uniform.

He was wearing such a silk official uniform, which, unlike his usual casual and imposing appearance, gave off the appearance of a handsome and noble official, which made Song Wanning feel a little surprised for a moment.

Yin Yichen saw that she was staring at him, so he asked calmly, "What are you looking at?"

It was already time for dinner. Song Wanning smiled and followed Yin Yichen to the dining table that had been prepared in the house. "The Prime Minister looks good in anything he wears. Now he looks so elegant in his official uniform. Wanning has to admit it."

Yin Yichen has always been a thick-skinned person. He just laughed and said, "Instead of thinking about giving in, you should be glad that you married the most handsome man in the capital. You can look at your husband's handsome face every day, so you should be happy in your heart."

Song Wanning did not argue. If she wanted to argue, she really could not win against Yin Yichen. She just told Yin Yichen about the note she received today, "Today, Lu Zijun, the daughter of Minister Lu, sent me a note, inviting me to visit her. I thought that she had helped me a lot in the past, so I thought about going to see her tomorrow to see if she could use me."

Yin Yichen paused with his chopsticks in his hand, raised his head and looked at Song Wanning and said, "The daughter of the Minister of Industry?"

"What's wrong?" Song Wanning was stunned, looked up at Yin Yichen and said, "But is there something wrong with this?"

"Nothing." Yin Yichen pursed his lips and forced a smile. "Just come back earlier. I just remembered that Lu Zijun has a brother named Lu Dejun, who is now an official in the Hanlin Academy. He is an upright man."

"I haven't heard of her brother." Song Wanning felt surprised now, and just smiled faintly, "Even the Prime Minister said that he did a good job. I think he is really an upright person. I am just waiting for the opportunity to see the demeanor of this gentleman."

After Song Wanning said this, Yin Yichen couldn't sit still anymore. He looked up at Song Wanning and said, "That's not necessary. There are many twists and turns in the officialdom, and I, your husband, may not be able to see it clearly."

Although Song Wanning felt a little strange, she didn't think much about it. After the two finished their meal, Yin Yichen was supposed to go to the study to handle official business as usual, but today he went straight back to the bedroom with Song Wanning.

Song Wanning raised her head and said to Yin Yichen, "Didn't you say that you still have a lot of official business waiting for you to deal with? How come you still have time to accompany me?"

Yin Yichen did not answer, but hugged Song Wanning into his arms and said in a low voice, "Wanning, I am very happy to see you every day when I come back. My house is so big, and now it finally has some popularity."

"I know." Song Wanning wanted to push him away, but Yin Yichen hugged her tighter and kissed her.

Song Wanning couldn't dodge and could only be forced to bear it. After a while, the two of them were intimate on the bed. Yin Yichen was more passionate than usual, leaving many marks on Song Wanning's neck. It was almost dawn before he went to deal with official business.

Song Wanning had been planning to visit the Lu family, but now she couldn't help laughing or crying when she saw the kiss marks on her neck. The two maids beside her blushed, and Cai Que gave Song Wanning some advice, "Madam, the weather is hot now, so you can only wear a high-necked dress to cover it up."

"That's all it can do."

Song Wanning felt secretly annoyed, and she took some more makeup and covered herself up again before leaving the house.

But not long after arriving at the Lu Mansion, Song Wanning understood the purpose of Yin Yichen leaving a kiss mark on her neck.
