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

Madam Guan looked at Guan Surong and knew that she was unwilling, but she only smiled faintly and said, "Wan Ning's appearance is very outstanding compared to many ladies in the capital. She is good-looking and the general's mansion is powerful, so it is not surprising that she can get the prime minister's personal attention. But now, she and the prime minister have only been married for a short time, so they can be so harmonious. Let's wait and see, I'm afraid it will not be the same as it is now."

Guan Surong sat in a chair somewhat dejectedly, not comforted by Madam Guan's words. She looked at Madam Guan and said, "My daughter and she are relatives of the same clan, but now she is living such a glorious life, while my daughter still doesn't even have an engagement. My daughter feels really bad."

"It's always a good thing for a family to have someone who is in a good position. This way, everyone can prosper together." Madam Guan supported Guan Surong's shoulders, patted her with a smile, and said, "But a woman can't just rely on beauty to make a living. Only by winning the heart of a man can she live long. You see that the Prime Minister and Ning Jie'er have a close relationship, but we don't know the truth. People always fight for what they want. If my daughter enters the Prime Minister's Mansion, I'm afraid it's hard to say who Yin Yichen likes."

After hearing what Mrs. Guan said, Guan Surong felt her mind become clearer, and more and more thoughts that shouldn't have come to her mind began to arise.

The mother and daughter were just talking about this when they saw Song Wanning coming into the yard from outside.

Song Wanning was very well-mannered and walked like a mistress. Madam Guan saw Song Wanning hurriedly standing up and smiled at her, "Sister Ning is here? Auntie wanted to visit you later, but I thought you might be busy now, so I delayed it."

"You are too polite, Auntie. Wan Ning has nothing important to do at home. She just wants to chat with her family." Song Wan Ning smiled and glanced at Guan Surong's face. "My cousin is becoming more and more outstanding now. She is really a beauty. I just don't know what kind of husband Auntie plans to find for her."

"It's just a pile of cheap jewelry and hairpins, how can it compare with the beauty of Ning Jie'er?" Madam Guan looked at Song Wanning and laughed, "I'm afraid it's hard for this child to find a husband now. I'm still thinking about what kind of family I should find for her in the capital. Ning Jie'er is now married to a wealthy family, and the Prime Minister probably has many court officials. I wonder if he has the time to help Rong'er find a suitable family."

"I shouldn't have resigned since my aunt trusted me with her help." Song Wanning smiled gently and said to Guan Surong, "But my aunt may not know that the Prime Minister is now well-known in the capital. On weekdays, few people come to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the place is deserted. Although I am the mistress now, I am still young and don't know many ladies. I am afraid I really can't make the decision on finding a husband."

Madam Guan was not angry when she heard this, she just smiled and said, "My daughter has never learned anything from me. I know that Ning Jie'er has learned the rules very well, and now she is the housekeeper in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Why not let my daughter follow Ning Jie'er to the Prime Minister's Mansion to learn how to be a housekeeper, so that she can have some experience in major and minor matters, and learn how to be well-mannered, so that she won't be laughed at in the future."

"I am now in the mansion, but I rely on the power of the prime minister. I don't have a mother-in-law, and no one knows that my housekeeping is a mess. Aunt, what Wan Ning said knows a good place to go." Song Wan Ning smiled and looked at Madam Guan, and said slowly, "If we talk about housekeeping, I'm afraid no one in the whole capital can compare to my aunt Nan Hongqiu. Besides, aunt and aunt have always had a very good relationship. Why don't you let sister Su Rong learn from aunt? In this way, I'm afraid Rong Jie'er will be able to become a master soon."

Song Wanning said, and sighed again, "Aunt only sees my superficial glory, but really doesn't know my inner difficulties. Now the Prime Minister's Mansion is run by the Prime Minister and I. The Prime Minister is busy with official duties on weekdays. There is such a big yard at home, and everything has to be done by me alone. There are so many things in the mansion now, and I am already overwhelmed. If Sister Su Rong goes, I am afraid that I will not have time to let Sister learn anything, and secondly, I am afraid that I will neglect it."

When Mrs. Guan heard this, she also understood what Song Wanning meant. She just looked at her and smiled, "Auntie understands. If Sister Ning is embarrassed, there is no need to force it. After all, there are still many opportunities to learn things."

Song Wanning exchanged a few more words with Mrs. Guan before turning around and leaving.

The mother and daughter stood in the yard. Guan Surong pursed her lips and became unhappy. "Mother said that a woman must fight for everything on her own when she gets married. Although my daughter has the ambition to win over Song Wanning, now she can't even enter her house. In this way, no matter how good the prime minister is, my daughter can't get close to him, and all her tricks have nowhere to be used. Isn't it buried here?"

Mrs. Guan saw that Guan Surong was distracted, so she comforted her, "My dear Rong, mother believes in your methods, but Ning seems to be a tough guy. If you really go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, wouldn't it be a big loss if you lose your wife and your soldiers?"

Guan Surong paused, then slowly expressed her dissatisfaction, "Mother, the Prime Minister is a man of great beauty, and his family must be extremely wealthy. If my daughter can marry him, even if she becomes a concubine, she will be extremely wealthy. Moreover, as long as she defeats Song Wanning and makes the Prime Minister never forget her, then in the future, it will only take a word for her to become the mistress of the household."

"Although what Sister Rong said makes sense, the Prime Minister's Mansion is a tough one to deal with. If we accidentally offend Wan Ning or the general, we three will have no choice but to leave the General's Mansion." Madam Guan sighed and looked at Guan Surong and said, "My daughter, look, Brother Lan is a good person. If you can win his heart and marry into the General's Mansion, you will be the mistress of the General's Mansion in the future and will be extremely rich and powerful."

Guan Surong lay on the table and said helplessly, "This is the only way now."

Although Guan Surong has compromised now, she is still thinking about Yin Yichen. After all, Song Lan was born a military general, and he is not as meticulous as a civil servant in doing things.

Madam Guan looked at Guan Surong and said hurriedly, "Didn't your uncle say that Brother Lan is studying at Bishui Hall now? I will tell your uncle to send you there in two days. After all, feelings are developed through getting along with each other, so you might as well seize the opportunity."

Guan Surong sighed and responded listlessly, "I know, mother. I will do it. Now Lan Ge'er is really the best choice. If I go to Bishuitang, I will also see if other families are good."
