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

After receiving instructions from Wen Tingbo, Cui Xiaoxiao walked away from Wen Tingbo and followed Song Wanning.

The imperial garden in the palace was full of flowers, and it looked fresh now. The ladies from outside the palace gathered together to admire them. Song Wanning just wanted to go out for a breath of fresh air. She stood in a corner of the imperial garden and looked at a poppy in front of her.

I heard that the current emperor had a new beauty who loved this flower very much, so he planted it all over the palace and the imperial garden.

Song Wanning was staying in the room alone. After a while, she heard a familiar voice beside her ear saying, "Madam Prime Minister..."

Song Wanning turned her head and saw the person now. Who else could it be but Cui Xiaoxiao? Song Wanning hadn't seen Cui Xiaoxiao for a long time. She was very different from before.

Cui Xiaoxiao no longer had the arrogance and domineering attitude she had before, and her clothes were not as bright as before. She only wore the clothes of a maid in the Marquis Zhongping's mansion, and her face looked much more haggard. It seemed that she was not having a good time.

Cui Xiaoxiao stood in front of Song Wanning and said in a low voice, "Madam Prime Minister, I have heard that you are living a good life now. Today I see that it is true. I am really envious. Xiao Xiao was young and ignorant and made many mistakes. Madam Prime Minister, please do not hold it against Xiao Xiao."

Song Wanning looked at Cui Xiaoxiao, sizing her up, trying to figure out something from her expression. "I heard that the second house of the Marquis Zhongping's mansion no longer has a principal wife. Aunt Cui should be very comfortable in the Lan Courtyard. Why did you come to me again?"

Upon seeing this, Cui Xiaoxiao fell to her knees on the ground with a plop, looked at Song Wanning and cried, "Madam Prime Minister, please save me, just this once."

Song Wanning frowned slightly, and was speechless when she saw Cui Xiaoxiao's expression. After all, in her previous life, Cui Xiaoxiao was one of the culprits who killed her. She didn't expect that after living a new life, Cui Xiaoxiao would be in such a state now, begging for mercy from her. It would be a lie to say that she was not surprised.

Song Wanning looked at Cui Xiaoxiao, raised her eyebrows, and said slowly, "I'm afraid Aunt Cui has forgotten what kind of relationship I had with Aunt Cui when we were in the Marquis' Mansion. Now that she has come to me for help, I'm afraid she has come to the wrong temple."

"No, no, no, Madam." Cui Xiaoxiao knelt on the ground, tears as big as beans falling one by one. "At the beginning, I was blind and thought I found a man who really loved me. Now it seems that man is the real hypocrite. Madam, I was sorry for you at the beginning. Now I have seen clearly. Please help me this time. Wen Tingbo beats me every day. If you can help me this time, I will definitely repay you with all my strength, Madam."

Cui Xiaoxiao said, then slowly raised her head and spoke to Song Wanning, "Madam, do you remember the Rouge Madam I made last time? I remember that Madam was very interested in it, and I have many ways to make money like this. If Madam can save me from the sea of ​​suffering, I will definitely help you make money in the future. I know I was wrong now, please save me this time. Wen Tingbai wanted to sell me off at the beginning, if it weren't for Madam, I'm afraid I don't know which brothel I would be in now, please save me."

Song Wanning looked at Cui Xiaoxiao. Now she really couldn't figure out whether what Cui Xiaoxiao said was true or false.

Cui Xiaoxiao immediately understood what was going on when she saw Song Wanning like this. She wiped her tears and said, "Madam, I also know that nowadays, even if a bandit wants to join the stronghold, he needs a token of allegiance. Madam, just tell me what you want me to do to save me this time, and I will do my best."

Song Wanning felt a little hesitant when she saw Cui Xiaoxiao's appearance. Fortunately, she was in a corner of the imperial garden where not many people came and went, which made her feel relieved.

A few days ago, Wen Tingbo and Madam Yin teamed up to trick her. Now she couldn't help but wonder whether Cui Xiaoxiao was sent by Wen Tingbo to deal with her.

Song Wanning glanced at Cui Xiaoxiao's miserable state and said slowly, "Are you not living well in the Zhongping Marquis' Mansion?"

After hearing this, Cui Xiaoxiao immediately rolled up her sleeves to show Song Wanning her wounds, crying, "Madam, look, these were all caused by Wen Tingbo. He is a hypocrite and not a good person at all."

Song Wanning couldn't help but frown when she saw these wounds. Who would have thought that Wen Tingbo, who pretended to be a decent person outside, could do such a thing.

When Wen Tingbai brought Cui Xiaoxiao back to the Marquis' Mansion, he and Cui Xiaoxiao were so deeply in love with each other. Who would have thought that such a short time later, Wen Tingbai and Cui Xiaoxiao had already reached this point in their lives.

Song Wanning looked at Cui Xiaoxiao's expression and asked slowly, "If that's the case, how could Wen Tingbai let you come to me?"

Cui Xiaoxiao hurriedly explained to herself, "He has been thinking about ways to win over the lady recently. Now that he failed to win over the lady, he got angry and came to beat me. I was quick-witted and took the initiative to offer to win over the lady by making money. That's why he asked me to come here. Madam, please help me this time, otherwise I will be beaten to death when I go back."

Song Wanning narrowed her eyes and slowly said to Cui Xiaoxiao, "How do you want me to help you?"

"I will go back today and tell Wen Tingbo that I have succeeded. Madam, you only need to send someone to pick me up at the Prime Minister's Mansion in a few days. Wen Tingbo will definitely believe it and let me go." Cui Xiaoxiao's tears fell down her face. "Madam, if you can't help me this time, I'm afraid I'm dead."

"Then you are Wen Tingbai's concubine, and it is not in accordance with the rules for you to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Song Wanning has now thought it through, "When the time comes, Wen Tingbai will have a reason to take you back."

"When I first came here, I was thinking about becoming a mistress. I never performed the etiquette of a concubine with Wen Tingbo, let alone a personal contract. As long as Madam finds me a house to live in and says it has nothing to do with me, Wen Tingbo will have no choice."

Cui Xiaoxiao was just talking when she was interrupted by Song Wanning, "No, you and Wen Tingbai were out in the capital, and everyone outside knew about it. Even if you leave the house now, Wen Tingbai has evidence."

Cui Xiaoxiao cried even more sadly after hearing this, and immediately said, "Then...what should we do?"

"Let me think of a solution." Song Wanning looked at Cui Xiaoxiao, but her eyes fell on Yu Meiren who was not far away. She said slowly, "Why not put on a show so that he has no choice but to let you come to me."

"Acting?" Cui Xiaoxiao was a little dumbfounded for a moment, not knowing what Song Wanning was thinking.
