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

After hearing this, Zhuque responded and helped Song Wanning into the inner hall.

Song Wanning felt a headache when she saw that there were so many account books in her house that she needed to look at. She piled all the account books in her hands on the table and said to Zhuque, "Wait for me to go into the house and rest for an hour. When the time comes, call me to look at the accounts."

Zhuque responded and helped Song Wanning into the bedroom to rest.

Not long after, Yin Yichen came into the yard from outside. He saw Zhuque sitting at the door and asked immediately, "Where is Madam now?"

Seeing this, Zhuque stood up hurriedly, looked at Yin Yichen and said, "In reply to the master, the mistress went out for a walk and said she was tired, so she is resting in the inner room. The mistress also asked me to ask her to get up and check the accounts in an hour. Now I see that the time is almost up."

"Where is the account book?" Yin Yichen pushed open the door and glanced at Song Wanning who was sleeping on the bed. She was sleeping soundly.

"It's on the desk in the study." Zhuque pointed to the study opposite.

Seeing this, Yin Yichen said calmly, "Madam is recuperating now, so there is no need to wake her up. Let her sleep a little longer. I happen to be free now, so I will go and help Madam look at the account book."

After hearing this, Suzaku smiled and replied, "That's right, Master."

As Yin Yichen said this, he turned around and went back to the study to work.

Seeing this, Zhuque and Caique looked at each other and laughed quietly, "Our son-in-law is really considerate of the young lady. Look how comfortable the young lady is living now."

Cai Que nodded upon seeing this, "That's right, my girl, your life is easy. If that family didn't get too involved, your life would be even better."

Song Wanning is living a good life now, but people outside are having a hard time.

Guan Surong had no one to rely on since she fell out with Song Wanshi. The old lady of the Song Mansion was now devoted to Song Zhan and had no patience for her niece, Mrs. Guan. Now that Mrs. Guan had lost her status outside, although she was taken in into the mansion, she was only given food to eat.

Song Zhan's new wife is a powerful one. She gives people a cold look when she sees Mrs. Guan. After all, the Song family has now set up a new branch. Song Zhan is a civil servant, and his salary has to support such a large family. Although the family has land and shops, it is not so profitable. Mrs. Guan came to live with him and didn't say when she would leave, which naturally made him unhappy.

Mrs. Guan had no choice but to endure her anger and lived her life, but she felt that her life was really hard, so she immediately sent a message to Guan Surong, asking her to let her gain a foothold in the Yan Mansion and take her over to live with her.

But Madam Guan knew clearly that it was impossible for a concubine to bring her own mother to live with her husband's family, so this would most likely not work.

But Mrs. Guan was still harboring delusions after all, and when Guan Surong received the letter from her, she was naturally powerless.

Yan Yuzhi now knew about the lawsuit between their family and Nan Hongqiu. Yan Yuzhi was a man who curryed favor with the powerful. After knowing this, he realized that Guan Surong was becoming less and less useful, so he ignored her.

Guan Surong is now not as respectable as Aunt Chun in the mansion. She has to endure the pointing and criticizing of the servants on a daily basis. They say that she is willing to be lowly and that she wants to marry Yan Yuzhi as a concubine instead of being a legitimate lady outside.

Guan Surong now truly regretted it. Now she realized that Yan Yuzhi was not someone who could be easily fooled. He had never been sincere to her in the beginning. He was also a man who grew up among women, so he knew all her thoughts and calculations. If she said that she wanted to stand out from these concubines by being beautiful and considerate, she was afraid that she would not be able to do so.

If I had kept an eye on Song Lan and made some plans at the beginning, maybe life would have been easier.

But now, she had no choice but to take a gamble. Seeing that Zhao Yunyan was about to marry her, she didn't know how she would live in the future. It was not easy for her to live peacefully in the big house of Yan Mansion, and it was even more difficult to make a name for herself.

Who could have thought that she had such great ambitions when she came to the capital, but ended up like this. It was too late to regret it now.

But Guan Surong didn't expect that as soon as the new grandmother came into the house, before she had time to think about how she would live in the future, Zhao Yunyan gathered her and other concubines and made them stand in the yard one by one.

Zhao Yunyan's mother, who was following her, seemed to be very capable. Seeing the one who came late, she stepped forward and slapped the concubine's face twice. This scene frightened the concubines.

Zhao Yunyan sat on the chair, and she was quite a big shot. "You have been concubines in the mansion for a while. The master took you in when he was free at home. The reputation outside is not good. People say that our master is unrestrained and has many concubines. But now that I come in, I have to consider the reputation of the entire Yan family. Now the family business is not going well, and I am afraid that the future life will not be easy with so many concubines at home. For this reason, I can only be cruel and send a few concubines to save money for the family."

Zhao Yunyan said, looking at the faces of the concubines below. Yan Yuzhi was a lustful man. These concubines were all plump and thin, and each one was more beautiful than the other. Zhao Yunyan looked at them and said, "If I dismiss anyone now, no one should blame me. After all, monkeys scatter when the tree falls, let alone a concubine who can be beaten and scolded at will. After you leave the mansion, you will each pursue your own career."

Upon seeing this, the concubines below started talking at once, and they all felt sorry for each other, but they could do nothing about it.

Zhao Yunyan pointed at the concubine who had come late because she was favored, and said, "That concubine should be dismissed from now on."

How could the concubine respond when she saw this? She raised her head and said, "Although grandma has just married, the master has the final say on our affairs. Grandma has assigned us here at will. Does the master know?"

"The master gave me your indentures yesterday. I advise you all to be honest and behave yourself. I am not selling you out to save your dignity. Don't be so shameless." Zhao Yunyan said, her eyes falling on Guan Surong.

She remembered Guan Surong.

In the past, she went to attend a banquet at the General's Mansion, but unexpectedly met Guan Surong and Yan Yuzhi there. Now it seems that she has some ability.

Zhao Yunyan thought, and pointed at Guan Surong, "And her, send her away as well."
