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

The news about the General's Mansion soon reached Song Wanning's ears. Zhuque was talking about the news he had heard, "Madam, fortunately the General was not deceived by that family and did not let them succeed. Now Guan Surong has no choice but to marry Yan Yuzhi as a concubine. This is now a done deal."

Song Wanning listened to Zhuque's words and knew that the situation had come to an end. She said calmly, "I'm afraid Guan Surong doesn't know yet, but Yan Yuzhi has eighteen concubines in his mansion. She likes to fight, and she will have her chance to fight when she gets married."

Song Wanning knew what kind of person Guan Surong was. Now that she had decided to marry Yan Yuzhi, she would definitely marry him honestly and defeat all the concubines in Yan Yuzhi's house. If Yan Yuzhi married a wife in the future, the wife would probably not have a good life.

But then again, Yan Yuzhi was able to marry so many young and beautiful concubines in the capital. I heard that his concubines were all very obedient and never jealous. I guess he is a capable man.

I'm afraid he might not be able to see through Guan Surong's little tricks. In the future, there will be a lot of excitement in the Yan Mansion. It is still unknown who will win between Yan Yuzhi and Guan Surong.

Song Wanning was just thinking about it when the gatekeeper came in again to report, "Madam, the lady across the street wants our madam to come over. She said she has something important to discuss with our madam and she also asked our madam to come over early."

Before Song Wanning could say anything, Zhuque beside her had already frowned, looking unhappy, "Madam, let's not talk about anything else. Now that the two families have separated, why does the lady across the street always call you over? Since we are two families, there should be some etiquette. It's like they have been thinking about calculating the things in our house all day, and now I don't know what they are going to do."

Song Wanning was open-minded. "She is my aunt in name after all. The prime minister had a quarrel with that big family in the early years. Although the family was divided, their reputation was not good after all. Now that I am married here, if I want to restore my reputation, I must deal with the ladies in the mansion."

"Let's go and see what the lady wants to tell me." Song Wanning stood up and walked out. "Now my good aunt is probably thinking of ways to give me more sisters."

As soon as Song Wanning arrived at the Yin family's residence, the mother at the door welcomed her in.

Wu Junrou had been waiting for a long time. When she saw Song Wanning, she came over with a smile on her face and said, "Wanning is finally here. I asked my subordinates to call you over, and I was afraid that I would spare you from doing things. If it weren't for Yi Chen's reputation, there would be no need to call you over in such a hurry."

Song Wanning also had a smile on her face, pretending to know nothing, she just looked at Wu Junrou and smiled faintly, "I wonder what's the urgent matter that aunt called me over in such a hurry?"

"This is a long story." Wu Junrou took Song Wanning's hand and walked into the yard, looking very affectionate. "I didn't want to tell you at first, but I think it's all about Yi Chen's reputation. After thinking about it, I still feel that I have to tell you. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be bad for both you and Yi Chen in the future."

Song Wanning followed Wu Junrou into the house obediently, and listened to Wu Junrou continue, "Speaking of which, this matter is really not big or small. I went to the capital to attend a banquet a few days ago, and heard the ladies at the table say that the Prime Minister's Mansion is now deserted, and only you two are living there. Which of these noble families doesn't have a concubine? Yi Chen is the Prime Minister. In the past, it was not a rule to take a concubine without a wife. But now that he has a wife, Wanning should also think about taking a concubine for the Prime Minister's sake."

Song Wanning sighed, "Aunt, it's not that I don't want to help the Prime Minister take a concubine, but now the Prime Minister has the final say on all matters in the mansion. I mentioned it to him several times but was scolded back. I have no choice now. The Prime Minister himself does not want to take a concubine, and he won't listen to my advice."

Wu Junrou gritted her teeth when she heard Song Wanning's words. Which lady wouldn't want her husband to have no concubines? Unfortunately, there are very few men who don't want to have concubines. Now, listening to Song Wanning saying that her husband didn't want to have concubines, Wu Junrou was envious and jealous.

But now, she is an elder after all, so she still has to save face. She held Song Wanning's hand and smiled softly, "Now that you two are newly married, he naturally wants something new. Wait and see if he takes a concubine after a while. Instead of waiting for him to go out and search for one, it would be better for you to arrange a few young and beautiful ones for him in advance. He won't go out to look for one if he has someone at home."

Song Wanning looked at Wu Junrou's smiling face and didn't want to turn her face away, so she explained calmly, "Aunt, I just said it once. It's not that I don't want the Prime Minister to take a concubine, but now, if I rashly take a concubine for him, I'm afraid he will turn against me."

"The Prime Minister is busy with all kinds of affairs every day, and I'm afraid he doesn't see any young and beautiful girls on weekdays. Now, for the sake of the Prime Minister's reputation, I have already thought of a way for you." Wu Junrou took Song Wanning's hand and walked to the sandalwood table beside her. She looked at Song Wanning and smiled softly, "I specially searched for the legitimate daughters of the small officials in the capital, but they are all well-known and well-off girls. All of them are beautiful and capable. The most important thing is that these girls are now waiting to be married and are willing to marry the Prime Minister as concubines. As the saying goes, it is easy to get ten thousand taels of gold, but it is hard to find a devoted heart. If you can pick a few good girls for the Prime Minister from these girls, the Prime Minister's reputation in the future will definitely improve."

"I'm sorry to have worried you. I'll discuss this matter with the Prime Minister when I get home. I'm afraid the Prime Minister will blame me if I act too rashly."

Song Wanning was trying to refuse with a smile, but she saw Wu Junrou rolled up the portraits of those girls into a scroll and stuffed it into Song Wanning's hand. She chuckled and said, "Now is the perfect time. You can take these girls' portraits back. I don't believe that the Prime Minister will not like any of them. If he doesn't like them, I will find him some other ones."

Seeing that she had no way to refuse, Song Wanning had no choice but to return home with the stack of portraits.

Yin Yichen was already in the mansion. When he saw Song Wanning coming back with these portraits, he was a little confused for a moment, "What are these scrolls that Wanning is holding?"

Song Wanning threw all the scrolls in her hands on the table and responded angrily, "What is it? Open it and see what it is."
