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

"Taking a concubine?" Song Wanning was stunned for a moment after hearing what Liu Yuyuan said, and said calmly, "Normally, the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Yin Mansion rarely interact with each other, and I don't know about such a thing. I'm afraid he is taking a concubine for his own son? He actually made such a big fuss."

"Who said it wasn't true? I heard that Wu Junrou's two sons already have four or five concubines. This move is really incredible." Liu Yuyuan said slowly in a deep voice, "When she went to the capital to look for young ladies waiting to get married, my mother happened to be there. I heard that she only said that she wanted to find concubines for the children in the family who didn't have concubines, but she didn't say which children. But doesn't she only have two sons? Could it be that there are other children who got married but didn't take concubines..."

"The Yin family is not prosperous, and there are only a few people in the entire mansion. If they want to take a concubine for the child of a relative from the natal family, there is no need to do this. They still look for a lady from a respectable official family in the capital..." Song Wanning already had some ideas in her mind, and just looked at Liu Yuyuan and said lightly, "Now, let alone the son of his other relatives, even if it is Wu Junrou's own son, the official family in the capital will probably not let them be concubines."

"You are right. But now all the ladies in the capital want to marry the prime minister before he gets married. There are even a lot who want to be his concubine..." When Liu Yuyuan heard this, she finally realized something was wrong. She looked at Song Wanning in surprise and said, "A child without a concubine is the prime minister, right? Is she looking for a concubine for the prime minister?"

Song Wanning sneered, still remembering Wu Junrou's hypocritical face, "I think it's probably nine out of ten."

Liu Yuyuan frowned and said in a cold voice, "Now the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Yin family have long been separated. How can she have the face to collect these for the Prime Minister? If so, she has no shame at all."

Song Wanning was not afraid now. She just smiled faintly and said, "She has no shame. She called me over to question me before, and I didn't respect her. I'm afraid she is thinking about how to make things difficult for me now."

"It's scary to look at such a shameless family. It's a good thing that they separated a long time ago." Liu Yuyuan sighed, seeing that the two of them had already arrived at the table.

Song Wanning stood beside Liu Yuyuan, looking at the official wives in the entire courtyard. She only asked in a low voice, "I heard recently that the Yan family intends to find a wife for their son from among the ladies in the capital?"

"That's right." Liu Yuyuan rolled her eyes when she heard this and said softly, "Although Yan Yuzhi looks good and the Yan family is the richest in the capital, everyone knows that Yan Yuzhi has already taken in 18 concubines before he got married. In this capital, which wealthy family dares to take in concubines before getting married? This will ruin their reputation. Madam Yan is actually thinking of letting Yan Yuzhi marry the daughter of a high-ranking official. I'm afraid it's just a foolish dream. Even if he has money, he can't get rid of his smell of money. Which lady would be willing to marry into their family?"

Song Wanning glanced at the ladies present and asked Liu Yuyuan in a low voice, "I heard that Madam Yan and the Dali Temple Minister are distant relatives. I'm afraid they are here today too, but I don't know who is coming?"

"It's easy to recognize her. She's the one wearing gold and silver utensils and precious jewelry." Liu Yuyuan looked at a wealthy lady inside and said in a low voice, "I wonder if this Madam Yan wants others to know that her family is wealthy. Every time she comes to the banquet, she wears the finest clothes and wears a lot of them. She looks really tacky."

Song Wanning followed Liu Yuyuan's gaze and saw Mrs. Yan in the crowd. She was wearing bright clothes, which made it hard for people not to notice her.

Song Wanning understood and smiled at Liu Yuyuan, "I have something to say to Madam Yan now, so I'll leave you for a while."

When Liu Yuyuan heard Song Wanning say this, she was a little surprised but did not ask any questions. She just nodded slightly.

Song Wanning walked up to Madam Yan. Before she could speak, the ladies around who wanted to curry favor with the Prime Minister's Mansion greeted her with a smile. "Madam Prime Minister, it's rare to see you take time out to come to this banquet. Now I see that you are really beautiful. No wonder the Prime Minister and Madam are so respectful to each other."

Song Wanning just nodded and smiled faintly, "Thank you ladies, I have just got married and I have just arrived. I need you ladies to take care of me."

The ladies responded again. Song Wanning turned around and glanced at Madam Yan beside her. She smiled faintly and said, "Who is this lady from? It seems I have never seen her before."

Mrs. Yan saw the opportunity and hurried forward to Song Wanning and said with a smile, "Madam, I am from the Yan family, a wealthy family in the capital. It's rare for me to see you once."

Song Wanning smiled and nodded, "So it's Madam Yan. Is Yan Yuzhi the son of Madam Yan? I heard that your son is studying at Bishui Hall now. I have heard my cousin mention him several times. She said that Yan is handsome and outstanding."

"Madam, you are too kind." Madam Yan had heard her son mention Guan Surong a long time ago. She didn't expect Song Wanning to come and talk to her just because Yan Yuzhi and Guan Surong were close. This made Madam Yan smile. "My son is just a superficial person. He has a lot to learn."

"Mrs. Yan is too modest." After Song Wanning said this, she turned around and left, leaving Mrs. Yan standing there smiling like a flower.

She had previously been worried that Guan Surong was not valued in the General's Mansion, but now it seems that she was worrying too much. She just waited for Guan Surong to marry into the Yan Mansion, and then the status of the Yan Mansion in the capital would be raised to a higher level in the future.

Song Wanning said goodbye to Madam Yan. Liu Yuyuan had disappeared long ago. Now that she was at the Qian residence, she had to do something to save her face.

For this reason, Song Wanning thought of taking a walk in the garden of the Qian Mansion so that it would appear to outsiders that a long time had passed before returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Who would have thought that there were so many guests visiting the residence of the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple now, and Song Wanning actually saw Wen Tingbai in this garden.

Wen Tingbai seldom went out since he had no children, and now it was rare for him to go out. He was dressed well and looked like a well-educated and well-mannered nobleman, but Song Wanning knew in her heart that he was now rotten.

When Wen Tingbai saw the beautiful and graceful Song Wanning, he couldn't help but think of Song Wanshi at home. He immediately looked at Song Wanning and said, "Wanning, I think we haven't seen each other for a long time. I wonder how you are doing now?"
