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

Guan Surong heard Nan Hongqiu's teasing and immediately hid behind Madam Guan with some embarrassment. She replied, "Surong will not marry. She will follow mother and aunt for the rest of her life. No matter how good Brother Lan is, he is not as good as mother and aunt."

"Silly child, there is no girl who doesn't get married." Nan Hongqiu joked for a while, then just smiled and said, "Now that Wen Yan has grown up, it's time to find him a girl from a good family. Sister, you have to do a good job of screening and find a virtuous girl for our Wen Yan."

"Of course." Madam Guan said, looking rather helpless, "But now, the child still needs to find a job in the capital. If he doesn't have a job, it's hard to talk about marriage."

Nan Hongqiu's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately said to Madam Guan, "In this case, we should go see the first wife. Song Jing of the first wife is a mighty general appointed by the emperor. If we ask Song Jing to arrange a job for my nephew, it will be easy. At worst, Ning Jie'er is still a relative. Now that she has married into a wealthy family, the whole family must help her. She hates me, but there is no reason for her not to help the two children."

Madam Guan was very moved when she heard Nan Hongqiu's words. She looked at Nan Hongqiu and said, "My dear sister-in-law, if it weren't for you, no one in the capital would care about me like this. If my children become successful in the future, they will always remember your kindness."

"We are all relatives here, there is no need to be so polite."

Nan Hongqiu and Mrs. Guan exchanged some polite words before seeing the three people off to the carriage.

Mother Xu stood aside and watched the carriage leave. She only heard Nan Hongqiu say, "I hope this family of three won't let me down."

"It seems that she won't. I think Miss Rong is a thoughtful person." Mother Xu stood aside and consoled her with a smile, "Even if we can't take down General Lan, let her go to the Prime Minister's Mansion. It will be good to annoy Song Wanning."

Nan Hongqiu just smiled when she heard this, turned around and glanced at Mother Xu, then said with a smile, "You are a man with your own ideas, old man."

The master and servant went in, while the three people in the other carriage went straight to the general's mansion.

Guan Wenyan's face was gloomy now. He looked at Madam Guan and said, "Mother, the first and second houses have separated now, but we are relatives of our ancestors after all. If we go to General Song Jing at this time, can we still succeed?"

"Even though the family has been divided, the relationship is still there. We got along well when we lived in the mansion." Madam Guan turned her head and smiled at Guan Wenyan, "After all, he is a good source. Don't be afraid of being rejected when asking someone to do something for you. This way, things will be done."

"My son has learned his lesson." Guan Wenyan nodded on the side.

"Big brother is a good and honest person. If we go and complain to him, he will definitely help us." Madam Guan smiled at Guan Surong who was standing beside her, "Sister Rong, do you still remember your brother Lan? I met him when I was a child. He is now a general. If you have a promising future, marry your brother Lan, and we three will have a good life in the future."

Guan Surong only blushed now, and said in a low voice, "My daughter will try her best not to let her mother down."

The three of them chatted and laughed as they arrived at the Song Mansion.

Nan Hongqiu's guess was correct. Song Zhan was indeed looking for a new wife, but he hadn't found a suitable one yet.

When Mrs. Guan came in, the old ancestor was still discussing with Song Zhan which girl to marry. Seeing Mrs. Guan, the old lady was also very happy. She talked to Mrs. Guan for a long time, but when it came to where to live, the old lady and Mrs. Guan had the same idea.

"We can live in the general's mansion next door. We are relatives after all. They were the ones who insisted on splitting up the family, and they said that we are still relatives after all. They asked me to go over there anytime to take care of me in my old age. Who needs them to take care of me in my old age? I have my own sons." The old lady said, and glanced at her son Song Zhan, and immediately smiled and said, "Now your second brother will get married soon. Now that you are in this mansion, I don't have much time to take care of your two children."

"Since Song Jing said that the whole family is a relative, then we should go to his house and find him something to do." The old lady said, glanced at Guan Surong, and said with a smile, "Sister Rong will get married eventually."

For this reason, Mrs. Guan and her family did not stay in the Song Mansion for long, and turned to the General's Mansion.

Song Jing was also happy to hear that Madam Guan and her family had arrived. He immediately looked at his mother and said, "Why don't you invite them in?"

Mrs. Guan brought her two children to Song Jing. She exchanged pleasantries first, then showed an embarrassed look and said to Song Jing, "Brother, we three have just returned to the capital and can't find a good place to stay. I wonder if you can let us stay for a while."

"This general's mansion doesn't have anything else, but there are plenty of empty rooms. Just stay here, sister." Song Jing has always valued his relatives. Now, looking at the mother and her two children who came to seek refuge, he said generously, "If there is anything you need, just tell me. Don't worry about anything else."

"If we don't have our eldest brother now, we don't know where we can go." Mrs. Guan smiled gently when she saw this. She looked around and couldn't see Song Lan, so she asked, "Where is Lan? Is Lan not at home? When he was a child, he played well with Rongjie."

When Song Jing heard this, he immediately explained, "This child has been sitting idle at home all day and can't read. I sent him to study at Bishui Hall so that he doesn't have to look after the dog at home and be disliked."

As Song Jing was speaking, he heard the door open and Song Lan came in from outside. She said to Song Jing from a distance, "Father, my sister said she will come back to stay for a few days tomorrow."

"She has only been married for a short time and she has to come back to stay for a few days. If outsiders hear it, wouldn't it be a joke?" Song Jing said this, but his face was happy. He just looked at Song Lan and said, "Why don't you come and meet your aunt."

"Aunt?" Song Lan looked surprised, but still stepped forward to look at the family, and asked in surprise, "Is it the aunt who lived with us when she was a child?"

"That's right." Mrs. Guan didn't wait for Song Lan to continue asking, and hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Good boy, it's amazing that you still remember your aunt."

Madam Guan said as she pushed her own daughter Guan Surong forward and placed her in front of Song Lan, "Brother Lan, do you still remember Rong'er? Your cousin Rong."

Song Lan scratched his head and smiled politely, "I was too young at that time and had forgotten about my cousin."
