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

"Nothing." Song Wanning looked uneasy, and said calmly, "If you are free on weekdays, go and see your Aunt Cui. I was too busy a few days ago and was very strict with you, so it was Aunt Cui who accompanied you. Now that something happened in Aunt Cui's yard, you should go and see her more often."

Wen Xu kept pinching his sleeves with his hands, and his little face looked guilty. He had just come out of Aunt Cui's yard.

"Go."

"Yes..." Wen Xu responded, turned around and left the yard where Song Wanning was.

"Xu'er has always been a playful kid. His father and I don't have much time to accompany him on weekdays. If he wants to play with something, ask Madam to buy it for him." Song Wanning looked at Suzaku beside her and instructed, "I used to discipline him too much, but now it seems that it was my fault."

Zhuque sympathized with Song Wanning and only sighed, "After all, adopted children are not as good as biological children. Xu Ge'er is not close to grandma, so grandma doesn't have to spend too much effort on him. Don't let him end up being unpopular."

Song Wanning sighed in her heart. In her previous life, Zhuque and Caique saw things more clearly than she did, but she was the only one who regarded this stepson as her life-saving straw and held him tightly in her hands.

Not long after, Cai Que came back from outside with a sad face, "Grandma, I'm back."

Song Wanning was cautious and asked quickly, "But what happened? What went wrong with the Rouge Shop?"

Cai Que heard Song Wanning ask, and immediately started talking, "The rouge shop could have been bought for five hundred taels, but suddenly a businessman showed up who was interested and wanted to argue with the person I asked him to do. He also said he wanted to meet the boss behind the scenes, otherwise he would definitely fight for it. I thought that the man didn't know who the boss was anyway, so I pretended to be a businessman and wore a hat to meet him. Who knew he would be seen through, and when he saw me, he kept saying that I was not the real boss."

Zhuque at the side asked, "What does that person look like? How much silver do you want?"

"It's really annoying. That guy looks ordinary, but he's wearing bright clothes." Cai Que was furious when she thought of this. "He only has five more taels of silver than us, but he's here to cause trouble, isn't he?"

Song Wanning felt strange and asked, "How can he resolve this matter? He said he must see me?"

"Yes, grandma... the boss said he wanted to talk to you in detail. If you don't go, he will take over the rouge shop." Cai Que looked at Song Wanning with worry in her eyes and said, "If grandma meets that man as a boss, I'm afraid that the Marquis' Mansion will find out that you bought the rouge shop in the future, and it will be difficult to settle. In my opinion, why don't we just forget about it? We don't have to take over the shop."

"The people in the Marquis' Mansion will know sooner or later." Song Wanning smiled soothingly and comforted the two maids, "I would like to see who the person with the same vision as me is. I just need to wear a bamboo hat so that the person can't see my appearance, and it won't be a big deal."

Cai Que was still worried. "The boss said that we will meet in the teahouse of Tianxiang Tower in three days. If grandma goes, please be discreet and don't let people in the mansion see you. Firstly, it will not be good for grandma's reputation if it gets out. Secondly, if that person sees grandma's appearance and knows that you bought the rouge shop, and people in the mansion know about it, I'm afraid the second master and the concubine will make a fuss."

"I'm not a boudoir girl anymore, it's okay." Song Wanning made a calculation in her heart and said, "Besides, the matter of the rouge shop can't be hidden forever, they will eventually find out."

"It's good that grandma knows what's going on."

-

Three days later, early in the morning, Song Wanning packed up her things and went out quietly.

It was still early and Tianxiang Tower had just opened. Song Wanning found the private room upstairs in Tianxiang Tower, but she didn't expect that the boss had already been sitting on a chair waiting for her.

Song Wanning didn't expect that it was a young man, wearing a moon-white round-necked, narrow-sleeved robe embroidered with cloud patterns. He looked very luxurious and had an extraordinary temperament.

In the capital, Wen Tingbai's appearance has always been very outstanding. But I didn't expect that Wen Tingbai was a little bit inferior to the man in front of him. This man has a calm temperament and a bit of the demeanor of planning and strategizing.

Song Wanning's subconscious mind told her that this person was not an ordinary person. Song Wanning was alert and only felt relieved after touching the veil on her head.

Cai Que stood beside Song Wanning and whispered, "Grandma, the person who argued with me a few days ago was not this person, but the place we agreed to meet was here."

"I guess that person isn't the real boss either."

While the master and servant were discussing, the man had already turned around and looked at Song Wanning, his voice as clear as a spring, "I guess the girl in front of me is the boss behind the purchase of the Rouge Shop?"

"That's right." Song Wanning was not shy now that she was here, and sat down calmly, "Is this boss also the boss behind the purchase of the Rouge Shop?"

The man smiled but said nothing, obviously agreeing.

Song Wanning frowned slightly and said slowly, "If this boss is sincere and wants to buy it, I can also choose not to buy it. I just want to make a friend."

"That's not why I came here today." The man's eyes fell on Song Wanning's veil. "My name is Yi Chen. I just came to the capital to do business. However, I am too busy with family affairs to take care of business matters, so I want to find a reliable boss to invest in and share dividends."

Before Song Wanning could speak, Yi Chen continued, "Young lady, you can actually see the business opportunities in this rouge shop. I think you have a good business sense. And I, Yi Chen, need a partner like you."

Song Wanning didn't expect Yi Chen to have such an idea. She just said, "But I have never lacked money, and it seems that I don't need Boss Yi's investment. If there is no boss, I can still afford the operating expenses, and the Rouge Shop can still be revived. But if the boss only invests and does not work, but wants to share dividends with me, it is not a good thing for me."

Yi Chen seemed to have expected this, and only smiled faintly, "Miss, I came here today sincerely to promote this business with you. And not just this business, I will participate in all your businesses in the future. In addition, I will not interfere with all your decisions, regardless of profit or loss, I will only invest money. And correspondingly, I will share 30% of the profits."

Even Song Wanning was shocked at this moment. Yi Chen actually predicted that she would make a steady profit in business just because of a rouge shop, and even wanted to do a long-term deal with her.

Song Wanning said slowly, "This boss doesn't know me very well now. If my business fails in the future, won't the boss lose a lot? Or is there too much money at home and nowhere to spend it?"
