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

Song Lan was commended by the emperor for winning the battle, and for a time the General's Mansion once again became a hot spot in the entire capital.

But now, some people have become famous in the capital, while others are in disgrace.

Ever since Wen Tingbai and Song Wanshi divorced, the second branch of the Marquis Zhongping's Mansion has been unable to find a second wife, not to mention Wen Tingbai's second wife. Even Wen Tingxun, Wen Tingbai's biological brother, has been unable to find a wife.

Previously, Mrs. Wang, Wen Tingbo's mother, had been thinking that when Lu Zijun was old enough and no one was willing to marry her, she would go to the Lu Mansion to renew the old engagement. Who knew that Lu Zijun actually married Song Wanning's brother Song Lan, so the only marriage she had planned was also gone.

Mrs. Wang saw that her own son Wen Tingxun was getting older and older, so she would be lying if she said she wasn't worried. But now the reputation of the entire Zhongping Marquis's Mansion had become so bad that Mrs. Wang had no good solution.

But in this way, Wen Tingxun was resentful. If it weren't for his brother, with his own appearance and talent, it would be no problem for the son of the Marquis to find a daughter of an official as his legal wife. Who would have thought that he would become like this now? How could Wen Tingxun not be angry?

But now, Wen Tingbai has become completely decadent, and he still dreams every day of winning back Song Wanning and making her the son-in-law of the general's mansion.

For the honor and disgrace of the second branch of the Zhongping Marquis's mansion, Wen Tingxun became a disciple of the crown prince Xie Heng and gave him advice. He is still preparing for the imperial examination. Although the legitimate son of the Zhongping Marquis's mansion can be an official, in the end, only if he passes the examination can he go far.

Now, Wen Tingxun went to the Prince's Mansion again to discuss the current plan with Prince Xie Heng.

Prince Xie Heng looked at the disciples around him with a worried look on his face. "Now in the whole capital, who doesn't go up to the General's Mansion and say a few words when they see him? Now I want to win over the General's Mansion, but I don't have a good way."

As soon as the prince finished speaking, the people around him turned their eyes to Wen Tingxun, "Mr. Xun's elder brother, Mr. Bai, was the husband of the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion. If this marriage was still going on, the General's Mansion would be closely related to the Zhongping Marquis Mansion. Now that I think about it, it's really a pity."

Xie Heng felt sorry after hearing this, and said with regret, "Now that things have come to this, it is really useless to say this. Why don't you all help me think about how to win over the General's Mansion. If anyone can win over the General's Mansion, when I ascend the throne in the future, this person will have made the greatest contribution, and I can choose any official position at that time."

After hearing this, all the disciples were eager to make a move. Wen Tingxun was even more eager to come up with a solution for Xie Heng. He immediately said to Xie Heng, "My second brother and the general's daughter have been married for several years. There is still some friendship between them. In this case, I am willing to go back and ask my eldest brother for a solution to this problem so that I can help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The prince was naturally very happy to hear this, and immediately said, "If Third Master can accomplish this, it will naturally be a great achievement, and I will remember your kindness. If not, I can only think of a way to extend an olive branch to the general at the banquet."

Wen Tingxun responded, but he was also unsure.

As soon as he came out of the Prince's Mansion, Wen Tingxun went straight back to the Marquis Zhongping's Mansion, hoping that his brother could bring him some useful news.

Wen Tingbai was also quite surprised after hearing what Wen Tingxun said, "What does Wan Ning like?"

Wen Tingbai is no longer as glorious as he was before. He is now in the mansion with a scruffy beard, looking like a completely different person. But when Wen Tingbai heard the three words Song Wanning, his eyes still lit up, "Wanning likes..."

Wen Tingbai pondered for a long time, and then he realized that he had never understood Song Wanning, and didn't even know what she liked. Wen Tingbai frowned and said in a deep voice, "I only remember that when she was in the mansion, she often read and wrote. I'm afraid she likes the four treasures of the study?"

Wen Tingxun looked at his unreliable brother, and all hope in his heart was shattered. He just said calmly, "If you don't know, don't force it. I will think of another way."

Wen Tingbai now felt that he had lost face in front of his brother, and his face was not very good for a moment. He said, "Last time, I met Wan Ning at the residence of the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture. Wan Ning's attitude towards me was also good. She was just waiting for me to think of a way to help you win over the general's mansion."

Wen Tingxun didn't hold out much hope for what Wen Tingbo said, but he still said, "Second brother has the intention. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that whoever can win over the General's Mansion to the Crown Prince's command will be rewarded with great merit in the future."

After hearing what Wen Tingxun said, Wen Tingbo's eyes lit up and he said to Wen Tingxun, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it. I'm sorry for your marriage. When I come back, I'll ask mother to find you a good marriage in the capital."

Wen Tingxun's eyes were indifferent, and he only said slowly, "There's no rush for marriage. When our family becomes a meritorious official, will we still worry about no marriage opportunities coming to us?"

Wen Tingbai laughed with relief and immediately sent someone to inquire about Song Wanning's whereabouts.

It would be inappropriate to post a message rashly now. He had no good reason to post a message to Song Wanning. If he knew where Song Wanning would go, and he could meet her by chance in that place, things would be much easier to handle.

Wen Tingbai was in her study room asking people to investigate, but they couldn't find any trace of Song Wanning, which gave her a headache.

Wen Tingbai was thinking of a solution when he saw Wen Xu walking outside the study.

Wen Tingbai suddenly had an idea. No matter what, Wen Xu was Song Wanning's stepson who had been raised for quite some time. The two of them always had some mother-son relationship. If Wen Xu could be asked to take action, it would probably be twice as effective with half the effort.

Thinking so, Wen Tingbai did so and immediately called Wen Xu in.

Wen Xu was now taller, and had been cleaned up to look harmless. Wen Tingbai usually neglected to discipline his son, and he only knew that Mrs. Wang had found a teacher to teach him how to read and write.

"Brother Xu, do you want to see your mother?" Wen Tingbai squatted down and asked Wen Xu, "If you want, Daddy will take you to see your mother right away."

"Which mother?" Wen Xu stood there with a frown, but he figured it out after a while, "My father was talking about the mother in the general's mansion? I miss my mother very much. If I could see her, I would be very happy. Father, are you saying that you can take me to see my mother?"
