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

Prime Minister's House.

Song Wanning sat on a chair, listening to Caique, her subordinate, telling the news from the General's Mansion.

Cai Que looked at Song Wanning's expression and said cautiously, "Madam, there is news from the General's Mansion that the Second Master is getting engaged. Please go back and take a look. The Second Master is getting engaged now. It's such a big event. I'm afraid Madam has to go back and take a look no matter what."

"Engagement?" Song Wanning stood up in disbelief, looking at Cai Que standing at the door and said, "Which lady is my brother going to get engaged to? Why did this news only reach me now? I didn't hear any news before. I also didn't hear that my elder brother was close to any lady before..."

Song Wanning had reason to be surprised. After all, Song Lan never liked to interact with the ladies in the capital.

Cai Que stood in front of Song Wanning and explained, "Madam, I heard that this matter was settled in a hurry, so it has only been reported to you now. I heard that the second master is engaged to your good sister, the legitimate daughter of the Lu family, Lu Zijun."

"What? Lu Zijun?" Song Wanning now understood everything at once.

Lu Zijun must have had some thoughts about Song Lan, so she came to ask her about Song Lan. "No wonder she insisted on coming back with our Song Mansion's carriage after coming down from Hongye Mountain. Later, she asked me to go to the Lu Mansion to talk and asked me where my eldest brother was now... It turned out that she had planned it all along. This little girl actually kept it from me and didn't tell me anything. Now she suddenly said that she wanted to be my sister-in-law? This news is too urgent now."

Cai Que stood aside, looking at Song Wan Ning and asked, "Madam, what are you going to do now?"

"What should I do?" Song Wanning sneered and stood up. "Of course I will go and ask my good brother and my good sister how they could have been so affectionate behind my back."

After Song Wanning said this, she went out angrily and returned to the general's mansion with two maids.

Now, the carriage carrying Song Wanning back to her parents' home had just passed by the Yin Mansion, and the little maid at the gate who had been keeping an eye on what was happening in the Prime Minister's Mansion told Wu Junrou the news she had seen.

"Madam, the one from the Prime Minister's Mansion has gone to that family again. She has only been married for a short time, but she has already returned to her parents' home several times. The Prime Minister really spoils her. It's really rude."

Wu Junrou put the teacup in her hand on the table, looked at her mother and smiled, "Nowadays, the most taboo thing for a couple to live together is to be spoiled. Now that Song Wanning has just married, she doesn't take the prime minister seriously at all. As time goes by, the relationship between the couple may not be the same as before."

The mother at the side took the opportunity to ask Wu Junrou, "Madam, you are right. Madam, you should take this opportunity to take the money from your elders and teach that little girl a lesson. The Prime Minister is busy with official duties every day and has no time to take care of her. Can you let her go to heaven like this? Madam, as the Prime Minister's elder, you should also be qualified to teach this new daughter-in-law a lesson on his behalf."

Wu Junrou just shook her head and sighed, "Now the couple's relationship is just right. If I take action at this time, I'm afraid that Yi Chen will be unhappy for no reason and then blame me. Let's wait and let Song Wanning be spoiled for a few more days. When she loses her sense of proportion, it will be a good opportunity for me to take action."

Mom responded, looked at Wu Junrou and continued, "Nowadays, every aristocratic family has a few concubines. The Prime Minister's Mansion only has the little girl from the Song family as his legal wife. If this gets out, people will laugh at her. But Song Wanning will definitely not look for a concubine for the Prime Minister. I'm afraid this burden will fall on Madam."

Wu Junrou sighed and took another sip of tea. "How can there be someone as miserable as me in this world? My nephew hates me, and I have to think of ways to do good for him."

Wu Junrou's mother saw that Wu Junrou was in a bad mood, and hurried forward to comfort her, "After a long time, the Prime Minister will definitely see the painstaking efforts of the Madam."

"I hope so." Wu Junrou looked up at her mother beside her and smiled, "If the Prime Minister reconciles with us, my two useless sons can also be helped by him. So much money was brought to the Prime Minister's Mansion by him. Some of it should be distributed back in the future. Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. I have to go and find a concubine for Yi Chen now."

Wu Junrou stood up and looked at her mother, saying, "Yi Chen has always liked beautiful women who also know some poetry and literature. Mom, go and help check which women in the capital are suitable for him to be concubines."

"That's not difficult." Mom smiled and took a few steps forward, looking at Wu Junrou and said, "Madam, you don't know that there are so many young ladies in the capital who want to marry the daughters of officials who are concubines of the prime minister that you can't count them on your hands. If Madam can fulfill their wishes, I'm afraid they will have to find a way to thank you."

"Then I have to choose carefully, and pick a few who are good-looking and willing to work with us."

When Song Wanning arrived at the General's Mansion, Song Lan was still busy with the list of betrothal gifts. Now that a lot of things had been taken out of the warehouse, most of it was suddenly empty. Song Lan didn't even frown, but said to the housekeeper beside him, "Now buy some more things in the warehouse in a few days. But the Lu family is a wealthy family. If the betrothal gifts are too little, I'm afraid people will laugh at you. You should buy some more to make it look decent."

The housekeeper standing next to Song Lan was ashamed. The dowry in this courtyard was no less than that of the wealthy families in Beijing. Song Lan was actually thinking about adding more dowries. He must have really taken the girl from the Lu family to heart.

Song Wanning looked at her brother busying around and just smiled at Song Lan, "Brother, it's rare for me to see you so busy nowadays."

When Song Lan saw Song Wanning coming, he handed over the betrothal gift list in his hand, looked at Song Wanning and smiled, "Sister, can you help me check, is there anything else to buy now?"

Song Wanning glared at Song Lan, but still took the list he handed over, "Song Lan, you didn't let any rumors leak out before you were going to get engaged, and now I've just come back and you want me to help you look at the list, you're really something."

"Isn't there no chance to tell you now? It's not too late to tell you now." Song Lan knew he was in the wrong, so he lowered his head and smiled at Song Wanning, "Besides, marrying your good sister is better than marrying someone else."

"You two really fooled me into a daze." Song Wanning was angry and glared at Song Lan again, "Just wait until tomorrow, I will go to the Lu Mansion and ask Zijun how he could deceive me like this."
