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

Song Wanning leaned on Yin Yichen's chest and smiled softly at him, "Whether it's worth it or not, you will know in the future. But today, thanks to you for helping me, otherwise I'm afraid Wen Tingbai would not be willing to let go so quickly."

Seeing that Song Wanning had her own ideas in mind, Yin Yichen didn't say much, and the two of them returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Song Wanning brought Cui Xiaoxiao to the courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion for a conversation. Cui Xiaoxiao now knew that she had escaped from the Marquis Zhongping's Mansion, and her eyes were blurred with tears. She looked at Song Wanning and said, "Thank you, Madam, for rescuing me. If I have any ideas to make money in the future, I will definitely present them to you first."

"I'm helping you now, but I'm not letting you enjoy yourself." Song Wanning said to Cui Xiaoxiao with a cold face, "Nowadays, the Prime Minister's Mansion doesn't keep idle people. If I find that what you do here is useless, don't blame me for kicking you out. There are also a few things I want to tell you. Even if your work is good in the future, you can't get involved in business. I believe you know very well whether you can do business or not. If you get sick again in the future and insist on getting involved in business, don't blame me for being rude to you. I don't owe you anything now, so naturally I won't spoil you. You are just a worker in the Prime Minister's Mansion now. If you don't want to work and don't want to abide by the rules, it's not too late to get out now."

Cui Xiaoxiao knew that she was in the wrong. She had been arrogant and domineering before. Now when she saw Song Wanning, she just whispered, "Madam is right. I will do as you say in the future."

Song Wanning looked at Cui Xiaoxiao and said in a deep voice, "There is a spacious yard to the west, which is convenient for you to make these things. Just do it and send it to me when it's done."

"I understand, Madam." Cui Xiaoxiao was so happy to see that no one beat her in the Prime Minister's Mansion that she didn't have time to care about anything else.

Song Wanning's eyes were cold now, "Take her down."

Seeing this, the mother of the Prime Minister's Mansion hurried forward and took Cui Xiaoxiao away.

Song Wanning looked at Zhuque beside her and said slowly, "Send someone to keep an eye on her and don't let her do anything bad in the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"I understand, ma'am." Zhuque responded and immediately went out of the yard to do his work.

After Song Wanning finished this matter, she packed up and went to see Pei Xuanzhi.

Pei Xuanzhi was injured and has been recuperating for quite some time before he can barely walk. Song Wanning was concerned about him and asked the kitchen to make Pei Xuanzhi's favorite pastries to bring to him.

When Song Wanning arrived at Pei's house, Pei Xuanzhi was still walking slowly in the yard. When he heard the maid at the door say that Song Wanning had arrived, he immediately waved to the maid beside him and said, "Hurry up and help me get on the bed. Don't let Wanning see me and know that I'm almost well."

Seeing this, the maid beside Pei Xuanzhi hurriedly came to help Pei Xuanzhi back to the bedroom.

Pei Xuanzhi had just laid down when Song Wanning came into the yard. Holding a food box in her hand, she strode towards Pei Xuanzhi's bedroom and knocked on the door.

Song Wanning knew that it was not appropriate for her to be alone with Pei Xuanzhi, so she took her maid Caique into the house with her.

Pei Xuanzhi coughed twice and said slowly, "Please come in."

Song Wanning opened the door and saw Pei Xuanzhi lying on the bed. Song Wanning put the food box on the table and said to Pei Xuanzhi, "I brought you your favorite yam cake. Do you want to try it?"

Pei Xuanzhi poked his head out from under the quilt, slowly sat on the bed, and said, "What you brought must be eaten."

Song Wanning looked at Pei Xuanzhi's appearance and saw thin beads of sweat on his forehead. She was immediately surprised and asked, "Why are you sweating so much?"

"I think it's the quilt." Pei Xuanzhi raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat guiltily, smiled at Song Wanning, reached out and took a piece of yam cake and put it into his mouth, "It's delicious."

"You're still like a child even though you're so old." Song Wanning looked at Pei Xuanzhi and chuckled, "I've been busy lately and only found time to come and see you now. I just don't know how your injury is recovering."

"The doctor said I have to lie down for a while, so I have some free time." Pei Xuanzhi smiled and squinted his eyes. "Now, you must remember to come and see me when you are free. Otherwise, I will be bored to death."

"I'll come to see you when I have time." Song Wanning frowned again and said puzzledly, "With your injury, you should have been able to get up and walk these days. Who knew that you would still be bedridden now? It's really unexpected."

Pei Xuanzhi felt even more guilty when he saw this, and immediately said with evasive eyes, "Who knows? Maybe my health is not good and I am recovering slowly."

Song Wanning was feeling strange, so she lowered her head and saw Pei Xuanzhi's shoes beside the bed. The shoes were not placed properly and were covered with some mud, so it seemed that they had just been worn.

Song Wanning suddenly understood and was about to speak when Mrs. Pei came in. "Wanning rarely comes here. Today, the Pei family's kitchen made a fried duck that tastes better than the ones outside. I brought some for Wanning to try."

Song Wanning turned her head and saw that Mrs. Pei was holding a golden duck in her hand. It made others drool, but Song Wanning frowned.

She usually likes to eat such dishes, but now she doesn't feel like eating them. But now that Mrs. Pei is so kind, it's hard to refuse. Song Wanning smiled slowly and said, "My aunt sent it specially, so I have to taste it carefully to see what it tastes like."

Song Wanning said, reaching out to take the plate from Madam Pei and placing it on the small table beside her. She looked at Madam Pei and smiled, "I just don't know if Xuanzhi can eat such a dish."

Mrs. Pei smiled at Song Wanning when she saw this, "The doctor said he can't eat it. You're eating it here, and he's going to be fed up with it."

"You two keep bullying me like this." Pei Xuanzhi curled his lips and turned his head away pretending to be angry.

Seeing this, Song Wanning immediately picked up the chopsticks beside her and took a spoonful of meat, then smiled at Pei Xuanzhi and said, "I don't know who is going to be killed by your greed."

As Song Wanning said this, she put the food into her mouth and took a small bite. But who would have thought that she frowned as soon as she put it into her mouth, and spit it out before she could swallow it.

Mrs. Pei immediately stood up anxiously, "What's the matter? But this duck is not to your taste?"

"It's not that the duck is not to my taste, it's just that the weather has been hot recently and I can't eat such greasy food." Song Wanning said, a little embarrassed, "It's a pity to waste this delicious dish that my aunt sent."

Madam Pei looked at Song Wanning and said hesitantly, "Wanning, are you pregnant?"
