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

Wu Junrou looked at Song Wanning and was quite surprised, but she still smiled and said, "Wanning, you are now in your prime, and this kind of rouge is the most suitable for you. Look at me, I am half buried in the ground, how can I care about so much. As long as this family is well, I think it is more important than anything else. Besides, this rouge is such a rare thing, you should cherish it, it would be a waste to give it to me for nothing."

Wu Junrou said this, and there was nothing wrong with her words. Song Wanning looked at Wu Junrou and responded calmly, "Aunt is right, but I didn't think it through. My nephew's wife originally thought that it was rare to have such a good thing, so she brought it over to show it to Auntie. Let's all see such a rare thing."

Wu Junrou felt something was amiss when Song Wanning came. After all, Song Wanning usually never came to visit someone without a request, so how could she come to ask for help?

Wu Junrou hadn't had time to think carefully. Just as she was about to say something, she saw her daughter-in-law Qi Shu coming out from the other end of the room. When she saw Song Wanning, she came up to her and laughed, "Madam Prime Minister, how can you have the time to come to our mansion today? I guess we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Song Wanning smiled faintly when she heard this, and said slowly, "It's not for anything else. I got a box of beautiful rouge, which is a rare thing, so I brought it here to show my knowledgeable aunt."

Qi Shu usually likes rouge and powder. After hearing what Song Wanning said, she naturally came to take a look. She looked at the box of rouge in Song Wanning's hand and said in surprise, "I thought it would be very rare, but looking at the color of the box of rouge in the Prime Minister's wife's hand, it is really rare. I have never seen such a color before."

"That's right. I got this little box with great difficulty." Song Wanning looked up at Qi Shu and smiled faintly, "I think my dear sister-in-law also likes this thing. This color is rare now. If sister-in-law is interested, you might as well try to paint it. If sister-in-law finds it suitable, I will give it to her directly."

Wu Junrou interrupted immediately after hearing this, "Wan Ning, this rouge was originally obtained by you from your sister-in-law. If you give it to me Qi Shu now, I'm afraid your sister-in-law will be unhappy when she finds out. It's more important for you to keep this good thing for yourself."

After hearing this, Song Wanning smiled and agreed, "Aunt, my sister-in-law from my mother's family is very close to me, and we are also relatives. If my sister-in-law from my mother's family knew about this, she wouldn't be angry. If I use such a good rouge with such a rare color by myself, wouldn't it be a waste?"

Seeing this, Wu Junrou's smile faded. She looked at Qi Shu beside her and said slowly, "She already has a lot of rouge on weekdays, so she doesn't need a box of rouge."

Qi Shu usually likes to put on makeup. When she saw Song Wanning bringing such a nice box of rouge, how could she not be tempted? She immediately stepped forward and said, "If that's the case, I would also like to try such a rare color. The colors sold outside are not as beautiful as this one. My sister-in-law is really generous. She is willing to share such a good thing with me."

Seeing this, Song Wanning immediately smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Such a good thing should naturally be enjoyed by us together. Sister-in-law, come and sit down. Today I will apply it on your lips to try. With such a color, I am afraid that my brother at home will not be able to walk if he sees it."

Seeing this, Qi Shu immediately stepped forward and looked at Song Wanning and said, "Since my sister-in-law has said so, I must give it a try."

Qi Shu's words made Wu Junrou anxious. After all, this rouge contained something that was not conducive to women's fertility. If Qi Shu used it like this, it would affect the family's offspring in the future.

Wu Junrou immediately spoke up and said slowly to Qi Shu, "I've always been nice to you, but now you're not polite at all. If this gets out, won't people laugh at us for having no rules in the Yin Mansion?"

Qi Shu's expression changed when she saw this. She knew that Wu Junrou was really angry now, so she had to stand up awkwardly and said to Song Wanning, "Sister-in-law, I suddenly remembered that I still have a lot of things to do in my yard. If I accompany you here to have fun, I won't be able to finish the things in the yard. In this case, I won't accompany you. I will go back to the yard first and finish what I need to do. If I have time, I will come to talk to you."

Seeing this, Song Wanning already had an idea in her mind, but she still had a faint smile on her face and slowly said, "Since my sister-in-law is busy now, I won't bother you. There are also many things waiting for me to do in the Prime Minister's Mansion. It's just a good time for me to go there now."

Qi Shu smiled awkwardly and went back to her own yard.

Seeing this, Wu Junrou, who was standing by, also tried to smooth things over for herself, "Wan Ning, your sister-in-law has always been unruly. Now that I saw her being so rude, I reprimanded her. It has nothing to do with you. Please don't take it to heart."

Seeing this, Song Wanning only smiled faintly and said, "Aunt is right. I, your niece-in-law, won't take it to heart. In this family, it has always been your aunt who has been working hard. Wanning knows it. Now, I am afraid that only I can enjoy this rouge. If I get a better one in the future, I will give it to my sister-in-law."

Wu Junrou nodded and sent Song Wanning out the door.

As soon as Song Wanning left the Prime Minister's Mansion, her expression changed. Wu Junrou's attitude now made Song Wanning understand the whole story. Now I'm afraid Wu Junrou is the initiator of this rouge. If it weren't for her, how could Madam Xu think so carefully and get the news so quickly.

Song Wanning's expression turned colder, and she looked at Cai Que beside her and said, "I'm afraid there are many traitors among the servants in the family. You should be more careful with your people. If you find anything wrong, just tell me. I will definitely drive out those treacherous servants in the future. If it really doesn't work, I will sell most of them and buy some new ones to cultivate my own confidants, so that I don't have to eat this half-cooked meal."

Cai Que responded from the side, lowering her head and saying, "Madam is right, I will go back and arrange for this matter."
