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

The Mansion of Marquis Zhongping.

Wen Tingbai looked at Wen Xu who had returned from the Northern Song Dynasty and said in disbelief, "What happened? Didn't Madam Yin succeed?"

The mother who sent the child back looked at Wen Tingbai and said, "Mr. Bai, you really don't know that our wife has tried her best. Who would have thought that the prime minister's wife is so heartless and ungrateful. She said that the child was not hers and she didn't care at all. Our wife was helpless. Now that the child has been sent back to you, you can think of other ways."

Wen Tingbai looked at Wen Xu's blushing face. He didn't expect that he was so unpopular. He was immediately displeased. He glanced at Wen Xu and said, "You are such a good child, why can't your mother like you?"

Seeing this, the maid standing at the side said, "Mr. Bai, you don't know that when the former mistress was still alive, she supervised Xu'er to study and write every day, but who knew that Xu'er only loved to play. Later, after Cui Xiaoxiao came into the family, Xu'er also only loved to associate with Aunt Cui, which made the mistress feel disappointed, so she didn't discipline Xu'er much."

Wen Tingbai frowned when he heard this, looked at Wen Xu beside him with displeasure, and said slowly, "You are now more glorious than other children, but you don't cherish it and only love to play. Your mother was mad at the beginning. If you continue like this, don't blame your father for being rude to you."

Wen Tingbai is now a shameless man, saying that Song Wanning is Wen Xu's mother. He has no wife in the courtyard now, so naturally no one cares what he says.

Wen Xu's face flushed red after hearing this. She looked sensible and obedient. She looked at Wen Tingbo and said, "I know, father."

"Go down." Wen Tingbai no longer had the energy to care about Wen Xu. His whole mind was now focused on getting closer to Song Wanning.

Now that he couldn't get in touch with Song Wanning, he couldn't save face in front of the prince. If that was the case, he wouldn't be able to explain to Wen Tingxun.

Wen Xu just nodded, and glanced at his mother who had just complained, with a hint of resentment in his eyes. He just walked out without staying for long, leaving Wen Tingbai alone in the yard hesitating.

Wen Tingbai thought of Cui Xiaoxiao again when his servant reminded him. If it weren't for Cui Xiaoxiao, he wouldn't have been able to live with Song Wanning to this point. Wen Tingbai clenched his hands and said with hatred, "Cui Xiaoxiao, Cui Xiaoxiao."

Cui Xiaoxiao's life in the Marquis' Mansion is now extremely difficult. She can barely make a living by flattering Wen Tingbo in front of him every day. But such a life cannot last long. She has always wanted to escape from the Marquis' Mansion, but unfortunately Wen Tingbo has people watching her every day, so she has no way to escape.

Cui Xiaoxiao couldn't help but think of the time when Song Wanning was in the mansion, and she finally helped her. Moreover, her rouge shop was taken over by Song Wanning and she made a lot of money. If she found Song Wanning and told her that she had many ideas to make money, she was afraid that Song Wanning would save her again.

Cui Xiaoxiao looked at the scars on her hands and shed tears of regret. She no longer had the high spirits she had when she first entered the mansion. Her face was so haggard that no one would doubt her if she said she looked like a servant of a farmer's family.

Now, in order to torture her, Wen Tingbo made her pour out night incense every day, and she could only eat what others had left. Whenever Wen Tingbo was unhappy, he would come and beat and scold her.

Cui Xiaoxiao was thinking about Wen Tingbo now. When she raised her eyes, she saw Wen Tingbo walking towards her with a menacing look.

Wen Tingbai's face was full of anger, and it looked like he was going to beat and scold Cui Xiaoxiao again.

Cui Xiaoxiao was horrified when she saw this, and quickly hid behind her own cabinet, not daring to make a sound.

At this moment, Wen Tingbai had already walked in. He looked around and saw no one. He immediately said in a cold voice, "Cui Xiaoxiao, where are you? Get out of here quickly. If I find you, don't blame me for being rude to you."

Seeing this, Cui Xiaoxiao couldn't help but tremble, but she covered her mouth tightly to prevent herself from making any sound.

At this time, Wen Tingbo had already seen the clues, and strode towards Cui Xiaoxiao, saying coldly, "Cui Xiaoxiao, Cui Xiaoxiao, you are still here today. If it weren't for you, how could I live with Wan Ning until now. You bitch, you actually dared to hide yourself."

Cui Xiaoxiao knew that she was exposed, and immediately knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed to Wen Tingbo and begged for mercy, "Second Master, please forgive me this time because I saved your life. I am doing my duty in the Marquis' Mansion and have never overstepped my authority. Please forgive me, Second Master."

How could Wen Tingbai listen to him? He immediately picked up a shovel and smashed it on Cui Xiaoxiao. "I told you to hide, I told you to hide. If you hadn't deceived me, I wouldn't have survived until today. People like you deserve to die. Not only did you deceive me, you also deceived Wen Xu. Now both my father and I are embarrassed in front of Wan Ning. Now that we can't win over Wan Ning, we don't know how we will live in the future. You bitch, you are still alive. I should have strangled you to death outside, and let you enjoy such wealth and glory in the Marquis' Mansion."

Cui Xiaoxiao was now crying and begging for mercy with her head down, "Second Master, Second Master, I have a way to please Wan Ning. I opened that rouge shop in the Marquis' Mansion, and later it was bought by Wan Ning. Although I don't know how to run it, I have many ideas to make money. Second Master, please give me another chance, I will definitely make Wan Ning change her mind. I still have many ideas that will definitely make Wan Ning fall in love. Second Master, just let me see her again. If it doesn't work, I will die in the future and will never live in disgrace in this world."

After hearing this, Wen Tingbai also had some thoughts. Cui Xiaoxiao was right. Song Wanning bought the rouge shop because she was interested in what Cui Xiaoxiao made. This gave Wen Tingbai another idea. If Cui Xiaoxiao could use her wisdom to win over Song Wanning, Wen Tingbai could temporarily spare her.

Thinking of this, Wen Tingbai put the shovel in his hand aside, coughed and said slowly, "There will be a palace banquet in a few days, and the Marquis's Mansion will also go to the palace. All the noble families and powerful officials in Shengjing will go, and I believe Wan Ning will also go. You pretend to be a maid of the Marquis's Mansion and go to the palace. Take this opportunity to have a good talk with Wan Ning."

Wen Tingbai said, glaring at Cui Xiaoxiao fiercely, "I tell you, this is your last chance."
