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

Mrs. Guan felt humiliated upon seeing this and was about to move out with Guan Wenyan.

Fortunately, Guan Surong was sober and hurriedly pulled Madam Guan to her side, "Mother, we should think about this matter carefully. How can we move when our eldest brother is in this state? Besides, the title deed of this house is in our hands now, so we can't just move it whenever we want. Song Wanshi was wrong in this matter. No matter how wrong our eldest brother was, she shouldn't have been so cruel and almost killed him."

Mrs. Guan also reacted after hearing what Guan Surong said. She immediately looked up at Nan Hongqiu and said, "That's right. Anyway, the land deed is in our hands now. We won't move. You can go wherever you want. Now that Shi Jie'er's dowry has come to our house, don't even think about taking it back. Besides, she has not yet settled the account of hurting my son."

Nan Hongqiu saw how arrogant this family was, so she couldn't bear it. She immediately said, "You guys, just wait and see. You'll have something to worry about."

Nan Hongqiu said this and led Song Wanshi out of the door in a rage.

Mrs. Guan was also a little anxious when she saw this. She looked at Guan Surong and said timidly, "My dear, now that the situation has become like this, what will we do if Nan Hongqiu really takes us to court? After all, our family is not as powerful as theirs."

Guan Surong patted Madam Guan calmly and spoke to comfort her, "Don't worry, mother. After all, it was their daughter who hurt my brother. My brother is lying in bed, and it's uncertain who will win or lose if we go to court. Besides, mother is the niece of the old lady of the general's mansion. If mother is worried, she might as well go back to the Song Mansion and ask the old lady to help us get justice."

After hearing this, Mrs. Guan felt that what Guan Surong said made sense, so she immediately went out to the Song Mansion to find the old lady.

Old Lady Song was already dissatisfied with Nan Hongqiu, and with Guan Surong's exaggerated remarks, she fell into the hands of Madam Guan and Guan Surong, and kept clamoring for Song Zhan to use some means in the officialdom to bring misfortune to Nan Hongqiu and Song Wanshi.

But then again, Song Wanshi is Song Zhan's biological daughter after all. Although Song Zhan doesn't want to recognize her now, if he does this, I'm afraid outsiders will point fingers at him.

What's more, Song Zhan has now married a new wife, so he has no time to care about Nan Hongqiu and Song Wanshi's affairs, so he refused immediately.

Old Mrs. Song was persuaded by her own son. After all, the future of a niece was not as important as that of her own son. For this reason, she instructed Mrs. Guan to go to the general's mansion to embarrass Song Jing.

Mrs. Guan was also in despair when she saw this. She never thought that things would turn out like this. She went to the general's mansion, but Song Jing kept making excuses saying that he was not there.

But something happened to make Mrs. Guan even more anxious. Within two days, Guan Wenyan passed away.

As a result, their family was really in a hopeless situation. Mrs. Guan was so sad that she went straight to the government to sue Nan Hongqiu and Song Wanshi. As a result, the two sides started to fight each other, and neither of them would let the other go.

Nan Hongqiu relied on her family's wealth and official background to try to get the government to speak for Song Wanshi and take back the dowry that Guan Wenyan's family had taken away. How could Mrs. Guan and Guan Surong agree to this? In the end, the Guan family was always one step behind and ended up losing both money and people.

Mrs. Guan was so angry that she became sick, so Guan Surong had no choice but to buy a small house for her to live in.

Guan Surong had some connections in the Yan Mansion, but after this incident, she no longer had any support from her natal family. Seeing that the main lady of the Yan Mansion was about to come in, Guan Surong had no choice but to humble herself and become Yan Yuzhi's concubine.

But Nan Hongqiu and Song Wanshi on the other side were not having such an easy time either.

Nan Hongqiu had been kicked out of the house and her life was not easy after returning to the Nan Mansion. Now, in order to help Song Wanshi win the lawsuit, she has spent a lot of manpower and resources, and even brought her own daughter back to the Nan Mansion.

The people in the Nan Mansion were not easy to deal with either, and now they disliked the mother and daughter even more. Nan Hongqiu and Song Wanshi no longer had the will to fight for revenge, and they just spent their time in the Nan Mansion.

The business of the Prime Minister's Mansion was growing bigger and bigger, and another person who became wary was Wu Junrou.

Wu Junrou was previously tricked by Song Wanshi for giving the prime minister's mansion a concubine, and now her reputation in the capital is still not very good. However, although she wanted to fight back these days, she has not been able to find a good opportunity. In addition, Yuan Xian would make a scene once or twice in the mansion on weekdays, and Wu Junrou is now even more busy.

But now that the Prime Minister's Mansion is becoming more and more prosperous, how can Wu Junrou swallow this humiliation?

Not long after, Wu Junrou's mother brought her even worse news, "Madam, things are very bad now. I just heard that the one in the Prime Minister's Mansion is pregnant."

"Is it true?" Wu Junrou turned around and looked at her mother beside her in disbelief, "Is the news true? Why hasn't anyone spread the news? Where did you hear it from?"

When my mother saw Wu Junrou, her face was also full of helplessness. "The spy that Madam had planted in the Prime Minister's Mansion came to report early in the morning, saying that the medicine that Song Wanning had been brewing in the kitchen recently was all for pregnancy protection. Although it has not been made public now, it is most likely true."

Wu Junrou clenched her hands even tighter after hearing this. "Who could have known that this second-married woman would have such ability? Now she controls the Prime Minister's Mansion and its properties, and has made these properties stronger and stronger? I heard that she also won over the concubine who had previously opposed her in the Zhongping Marquis' Mansion. That concubine is a person with her own ideas. She specifically does business with her and is now making a lot of money. She is still not quiet now that she is pregnant?"

"Who would have thought that Chen Ge'er's wife would be so capable." Mrs. Shen, who was beside Wu Junrou, looked worried. "Madam, you have to think of a way. Otherwise, if the one in the Prime Minister's Mansion gives birth to a legitimate son, our plans in the future will be even more difficult."

"She is so busy with the family business now. She has to manage the household and the shop at the same time. It's so hard." Wu Junrou's eyes darkened and she spoke slowly, "Now that she is pregnant, if she is too tired, I'm afraid she will have trouble keeping the baby. You go outside and ask if there is any good way to help the one in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so that she can be relieved of some of the hard work."
