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

Yan Yuzhi's mind had long since flown away to who knows where. He only looked at Guan Surong perfunctorily and comforted her lightly, "In that case, Surong should go back earlier and apologize to the general."

Guan Surong saw Yan Yuzhi's attitude and knew that he was probably wavering. A look of despair immediately appeared on her face, and she asked in a crying voice, "Yuzhi, you won't not marry me, will you? Uncle is so angry now..."

"How could it be? Since we have agreed, I will naturally do what I say." Although Yan Yuzhi was comforting Guan Surong, his eyes were erratic. If he married Guan Surong now, he was afraid that there would be no way for the Yan family to move up in the capital in the future. But now, he was also very confused, and he just waited to return to the mansion and discuss with Mrs. Yan before making plans.

The two of them then dispersed, and Guan Surong took a carriage back to the general's mansion. When Mrs. Guan saw her daughter coming back, she hurried forward to ask.

"What's going on now? Your uncle just came back and told me to move out quickly and not let us, mother and daughter, live in the general's mansion anymore." Madam Guan was also anxious now. She looked at Guan Surong and said, "But what did your uncle find out?"

Guan Surong nodded slowly, looked at Madam Guan and said calmly, "I don't know what happened now. My uncle found out about Yan Yuzhi and I meeting in Xianhe Tower, and now he's very angry."

Guan Surong now had a worried look on her face. She looked at Madam Guan and said calmly, "Mother, now that Yan Yuzhi knows that I am not your uncle's biological niece, what should I do? If he doesn't want to marry me, then I..."

In order to tie Yan Yuzhi down, Guan Surong has now become his wife. If Yan Yuzhi does not marry her, she will probably find it difficult to find a husband in the future.

"Now we can only ask your uncle to show some leniency and let us stay here until you get married." Madam Guan's face was not looking good now. She said in a deep voice, "If we don't have the protection of the general's mansion, we don't know how we will go in the future. After all, the two families are relatives. If the quarrel is too ugly, it will not be good if it gets out."

After hearing what Madam Guan said, Guan Surong also became anxious. She just looked at Madam Guan and said, "Mother, what should I do now?"

"Go and admit your mistake to your uncle. He is a soft-hearted man after all." Madam Guan sighed and said slowly, "Now I have no choice but to beg for mercy shamelessly. If it doesn't work, I will go to the Song Mansion next door to ask for help and ask the old ancestor to help us."

Seeing that Madam Guan had come up with an idea, Guan Surong immediately went to find Song Jing and knelt outside the study door to admit her mistake to Song Jing inside. "Uncle, I know I was wrong. Please forgive Rong'er this time."

Guan Surong knelt down to admit her fault, while Madam Guan went to the Song Mansion to call the old lady over. The old lady was always close to Madam Guan.

Although the old lady was not Song Jing's biological mother, she was a stepmother after all. No matter what, Song Jing had to respect her and try to save her face.

As soon as the old lady arrived, she saw Guan Surong kneeling on the ground. She immediately went forward to help Guan Surong up from the ground, "My dear, what are you doing? You are so delicate, what will happen if you get hurt from kneeling?"

Who would have thought that Guan Surong didn't move at all, but looked at the old lady sobbingly, "Grandfather, it was Surong who did something wrong. Now I come to ask for forgiveness from my uncle. Please let me continue to kneel."

Seeing this, the old lady took the cane in her hand and hit it on the ground, looking at the maid outside the study and said, "Go in and call your master out."

Seeing this, the maid at the door responded, lifted the curtain and went into the study.

After a while, Song Jing came out. Seeing Madam Guan and the old ancestor standing at the door, Song Jing just looked at the old lady and forced a smile, "It's rare for the old ancestor to come here now, how can he stay under the scorching sun?"

"It really hurts me to see my granddaughter kneeling on the ground. I will stand as long as she kneels, so that people outside can see how you, a mighty general, are filial to your mother at home." The old lady was determined to stand here, staring at Song Jing with her neck stiff.

Song Jing frowned and glanced at Guan Surong lying on the ground before speaking, "Mother, I never told her to kneel down. It was Sister Rong who wanted to kneel down herself."

"She has made a mistake now, but she is still a family relative. Instead of helping to find a solution, you want to drive them out? As a brother, you are really capable of doing such a thing." The old lady took the money from her elders and kept scolding, "Although Su Rong is not your biological niece, she has lived in the mansion. You are standing by and watching, can you really live with your conscience?"

"Mother, what do you think we should do now?" Although Song Jing was dissatisfied, he couldn't refute. He just looked at the old lady, wanting to see what she would say.

"Of course, let them stay here until Su Rong gets married. Now that she and Yan Yuzhi are in love, she should stay in the general's mansion until she gets married. As an uncle, you should also think carefully for Rong Jie'er. It is important to let her get married in a dignified way." The old lady's eyes were shining, and she looked at Song Jing and said, "You want to ask her to leave now, and you can really do it."

"Mother, I am no longer Rong Jie'er's uncle. It is not my turn to discuss marriage with her. It is up to my sister to decide." Song Jing's face was not looking good. He just looked at the old lady and said, "Since mother has spoken, let Rong Jie'er continue to live in the general's mansion until she gets married. However, I have to make it clear about Rong Jie'er's identity. Now that Rong Jie has done something so shameful, if I don't make it clear, I am afraid it will ruin the reputation of my general's mansion."

"You..." Seeing this, the old lady was naturally unhappy. She immediately raised her sleeves to wipe the non-existent tears on her face. "I'm afraid you are not dissatisfied with Rong Jie'er now, but I'm afraid you also have a lot of resentment towards me as your mother. Thinking back to when I became your father's concubine, who would have thought that I would be in this situation today. In this case, I might as well die earlier and go to see your father so that I can tell him how you treated me."

At this time when the situation was at a stalemate, Song Lan heard the sound of the wind coming. He looked at the whole family and said with a smile, "Grandfather, you are finally here. I just came back from outside and heard someone talking about Sister Rong and Yan Yuzhi. I guess the old ancestor is taking the initiative and asking Sister Rong to kneel down as punishment?"
