Favoring concubines and ignoring wives? The mistress of the marquisate remarried a powerful official
Chapter 259: Breaking Up the Marriage
Liu Yuyuan continued, "You know what kind of family the Zhongping Marquis's Mansion is. You finally managed to crawl out of the tiger's den, and my family also knows about your affairs. Now they want my sister to marry him. I really don't know what they are thinking. At the beginning, the Lu family had an engagement with Xun'er, but later they found out about the dirty deeds of their family, so they cancelled the engagement. Xun'er seems to be a good person, but no one in that family is easy to get along with. Who would have thought that today, my father and mother would be so cruel and sell my sister for their own future. Wan Ning, do you think there is any good way to help me now?"
As Liu Yuyuan spoke, her face looked particularly ugly. After a while, tears as big as beans began to fall down her face.
Seeing this, Song Wanning hurriedly spoke to comfort him, "Good Yuyuan, don't worry. This marriage is just talk now and has not been finalized. There is still room for maneuver now. It's not the time to turn back. Besides, I also knew when I was in the Zhongping Marquis' Mansion that their Second Master Xun is more reliable than Second Master Bai. Even if your sister marries him, she won't have to suffer so much. In the future, she will definitely not be as distressed as I was at the beginning."
"I just don't want to see my own sister marry into the Zhongping Marquis's mansion. Even if Third Master Xun is a man with great ambitions, he only needs to look at the dirty deeds of his family to know that this family is not a good one for a husband. In this case, why would she choose to marry into their family among so many official wives and young masters in the capital? Look at all the good men in the world nowadays, but she chose to live with their family, whose reputation is as bad as a pig that has died half a month in July. Isn't that blind?"
Song Wanning listened to Liu Yuyuan's words and knew that she was really anxious now. She looked at her and comforted her softly, "I think your father and mother probably value Xun'er's reputation in front of the prince. The Liu family is partial to the prince, so naturally they have to listen to him in everything. If you don't agree to this marriage, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to succeed in front of the prince in the future. If you want to find a way to have the best of both worlds, you can investigate Xun'er's current behavior in the capital to see if he has done anything wrong. If there is, then make a fuss about it. This will save the prince's face and give the Liu family a good reputation."
Song Wanning narrowed her eyes and thought back to her past life. She had lived half her life in her past life, and later Wen Tingxun also followed the prince, but he did not marry the daughter of the Liu family, but Lu Zijun. Thinking that she was alive in this life, she had messed up the current situation by mistake, and made Lu Zijun marry her brother Song Lan.
Liu Yuyuan's younger sister Song Wanning had met her several times. She was a cute and lovely girl in the capital, and now she was only sixteen years old. Wen Tingxun was twenty years old now, and it would be too late if he didn't get married.
Song Wanning remembered that she and Lu Zijun and Wen Tingxun had little contact in the past. Wen Tingxun did take several concubines, but nothing happened. Later, she even heard that he had an affair with a prostitute before getting married, but she didn't know if it was groundless, but it didn't mean that his life was easy. It's just that Wen Tingxun's career has never been smooth.
Nowadays, these marquis families are waiting for titles and donations to become officials, and few of them have passed the imperial examinations themselves. However, not all sons of marquis families can be given titles. Wen Tingxun had been planning for half his life, but he did not get any benefits when he took the lead.
Song Wanning could not see it in her previous life, but now she can see it from Wen Tingxun. The prince is not favored in the court. He is only crowned as the prince because he is the eldest son, but he is not followed by the court officials. The prince is impetuous and inactive. He only knows how to form cliques and pursue personal interests. I am afraid that his future is uncertain.
But if Liu Yuyuan's sister marries him now, no one knows what her future will be like.
Seeing this, Song Wanning looked at Liu Yuyuan and said softly, "Your family is well-known in the capital, so there is no need to do this. Your sister is good-looking and talented. If she can carefully choose a good husband in the future, her life will be better. Now that the reputation of the Zhongping Marquis's Mansion has become what it is now, if your sister marries there, I'm afraid she will have to suffer."
Liu Yuyuan took Song Wanning's words to heart and said immediately, "I understand what you mean now. When I return to the house, I will ask someone to find out if this Xun brother is biased."
Song Wanning listened to Liu Yuyuan's words and responded, "No one is perfect. If you look carefully, it won't be difficult to find clues. If you really want to look for it, look for the women in the brothels outside. Xun'er from the Zhongping Marquis's Mansion may not be a very upright person. It's hard to say if he has an affair with a woman in the brothel."
Liu Yuyuan sighed, looked at Song Wanning and said, "I understand, Wanning, if I didn't have you now, I wouldn't know what to do."
"You're welcome." Song Wanning looked at Liu Yuyuan and smiled softly, "Your father is the censor. It won't be difficult for the censor to investigate anything he wants in the capital."
Liu Yuyuan immediately left the Prime Minister's Mansion to do her own thing. But after a few days, Liu Yuyuan really found out something.
Wen Tingxun looked upright on the surface, but he had been having an affair with a girl from a brothel, and now he even redeemed the girl and arranged for her to live in an alley outside the capital. However, he arranged for her to live there, but did not say that he would carry her into the mansion. Liu Yuyuan spent a lot of money, and then she found out that the girl was pregnant.
Liu Yuyuan's worries were now gone. He immediately returned to her parents' home with the truth he had found out. Although Liu's father and mother wanted to marry her, they could not agree to it when they saw that Wen Tingxun was such a person. They immediately reported the matter to the prince and rejected the marriage.
Now, the marriage that Wen Tingxun had fought so hard for has gone wrong. The entire Zhongping Marquis Mansion is in a state of decline, and the servants dare not even breathe a sigh of relief.
Wen Tingbai was gloating on the side. After all, when he got into trouble, Wen Tingxun ridiculed him a lot. Now he did something shameful. Now he wanted to marry the daughter of the imperial censor, but he failed and people found out about his dirty deeds. It was really embarrassing.
Now that this incident happened, Mrs. Wang also became dissatisfied and called her two children to the main hall to question them.
