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

Guan Surong said as she was about to come forward to pour a glass of wine for the glass in front of Song Lan. She stood up from opposite Song Lan, walked a few steps towards Song Lan, leaned close to him to pour the wine, and her jasmine-scented sleeves passed by Song Lan inadvertently.

Today she was wearing a Xiangfei colored skirt, with cockscomb flowers blooming from the cuffs and collar, and her hair was tied in a concentric bun with only two butterfly hairpins inserted in the bun. This outfit perfectly set off Guan Surong's beauty.

Guan Surong finished pouring the wine and looked at Song Lan with a faint smile, "Cousin, would you like to try it?"

Song Lan looked at Guan Surong's expression, raised the wine in the glass to his lips, but did not drink it immediately. He and Song Jing had always grown up in the border area, and the border was not peaceful. He had trained a good sense of smell since he was a child, and he could smell such a trick immediately.

After all, there are some differences between love wine and ordinary wine.

But Song Lan didn't want to expose it directly now. Instead, he looked at Guan Surong and smiled, "My dear sister, I suddenly thought that you took the trouble to prepare such a large table of dishes, and you should also ask the master of the family to come and taste them. If all of them go into my stomach, wouldn't it be a waste of my cousin's kindness?"

Guan Surong immediately became anxious when she heard this. Her face turned pale, but she still tried to stay calm and smiled twice, "Cousin, why don't I make a few more dishes next time and invite uncle to join us. The food and wine here are really simple. If I invite uncle to come, I'm afraid it would be a bit of a poor treat."

"Now that we have it ready, why bother? I think these dishes are good, and the master usually eats everything." Song Lan said, and waved to the servant beside him, saying lightly, "The master must be at home at this time, quickly call the master over to taste my cousin's delicious food together."

The attendant boy responded and went out.

Guan Surong never thought that things would develop in this direction, and she immediately panicked. She looked at Song Lan's hesitant expression and said, "Cousin, this wine is just ordinary wine. I will go and warm up a pot of good wine, and then have a feast with my uncle. Since the dishes are already simple, this good wine is absolutely indispensable."

"I think this wine is already very good." Song Lan smiled faintly and comforted Guan Surong, "We are all family, why bother about so much?"

Guan Surong was now in a dilemma, so she thought that if Song Jing really came, she would pretend to accidentally knock over the pot of warm wine. Otherwise, if Song Jing drank it, the consequences would be disastrous.

Thinking of this, Guan Surong's expression finally looked better.

After a while, Song Lan's attendant called Song Jing over. Song Jing had already smiled before he even entered the room, and said to Guan Surong from a distance, "Sister Rong actually has such a skill, it's really unexpected, I want to taste it now."

Guan Surong forced a smile and said, "Uncle, Rong'er's cooking skills are really incomparable to the chef in your house. I am just showing off my skills in front of an expert."

"Sister Rong is too modest." Song Jing smiled and sat on the chair. He picked up the chopsticks and took a bite. He immediately praised, "It's delicious. It's not much worse than the chef's."

"I am overjoyed that my uncle praised Rong'er."

Seeing that everyone was present, Song Lan looked at Song Jing and said with a smile, "Father, my cousin not only prepared food for today, but also warmed up a pot of good wine. Wouldn't it be a pity if you don't taste it?"

When Song Jing heard this, he smiled and took out his own cup, placed it in front of Guan Surong, and said with a smile, "Sister Rong, pour a cup for uncle."

Guan Surong responded softly, pretending to pour wine and picked up Song Jing's cup. However, her hand slipped and the wine jug in her hand instantly fell to the ground, the wine glass broke into pieces, and the wine spilled all over the floor.

The sweet smell of wine spread upwards from the ground, causing Song Jing, who was holding the chopsticks, to frown.

Guan Surong still thought she had escaped a disaster, and she only smiled awkwardly at Song Jing, "Uncle, Rong'er accidentally broke this wine pot, just wait for Rong'er to warm up a pot of good wine again."

Before Song Jing could speak, Song Lan, who was sitting opposite him, smiled and said, "Cousin, why are you so careless? It's a pity to waste this pot of good wine."

"Rong'er, go down and warm up the wine, and come back with it later." Guan Surong looked shy and glanced at the maid behind her, "Hurry up and clean it up, don't let the wine splash all over my uncle and cousin."

After Guan Surong finished speaking, she turned around to do her work, leaving Song Lan and Song Jing where they were.

Song Lan looked at Guan Surong's receding back and said in a low voice, "Father, I have a glass of wine here. Would you like to try it?"

Song Jing held his breath. He now knew the reason why Song Lan called him here, which was just to let him see the true face of this family. Song Jing frowned, quite unhappy, but only glanced at Guan Surong's maid Tao Hong, "I don't have any mood to eat now, clean up the table of dishes. Tell Sister Rong that there is no need to bother."

Song Jing stood up and glanced at Song Lan again, "Follow me."

Song Lan knew that Song Jing had understood what he meant by now, so he quickly followed Song Jing to the study.

Song Jing was in the study room, and said in surprise, "If Sister Rong really likes you, and you also like him, why would I stop her? Why are you doing these shameful things now?"

Song Lan leaned against the door frame and chuckled, "Father, I don't like my cousin, and I guess my cousin doesn't like me either. It's my good aunt who likes the power of our family. How can she succeed without using some tricks? Now I just want to let father know that father has failed my sister's painstaking efforts."

"Thinking about it this way, I was wrong about your sister. It's not a bad thing for her to think too much." Song Jing sighed now, and said with some displeasure, "Family members will always take care of each other. What difference does it make whether she marries in or not? Such behavior, with bad character and evil intentions, really chills my heart."

"Father, the most important thing now is that this aunt and cousin are living in our house with this intention. If we let them continue to live here, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles." Song Lan now calmed down and said lightly, "Now my son can stop them once, but I don't know what tricks they will have in the future. My son is afraid that if he keeps them in the house, he will be tricked one day."

Song Jing glared at Song Lan and said, "What should we do? If we find you a marriage partner, they will naturally leave. Just say that the future mistress is unhappy and the matter will be brushed aside. Otherwise, how can you get this family to leave?"
