Seeing this, the servant immediately told all the information he had inquired about, like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube, "Second Master doesn't know, this Miss Guan originally wanted to marry the second master of the Yan family as the main wife. It was rumored outside that this Miss Guan was the biological niece of the general's mansion, and Yan Yuzhi was willing at first. Who knew that later, this Miss Guan and Yan Yuzhi had cooked rice and cooked rice, and Song Jing found out. General Song Jing felt that Miss Guan had ruined their family's reputation, so he wanted to drive their whole family out. Yan Yuzhi knew that Miss Guan was not General Song Jing's biological niece, so he was unwilling to marry her as the main wife. But now the matter is done, and this Miss Guan has no choice but to marry the second master Yan as a concubine."

After hearing what the servant said, Wen Tingbai continued, "Since she became a concubine of the Yan Mansion and lived a good life, why was she kicked out now?"

"The Yan family has just married a principal wife. Yan Yuzhi already had more than twenty concubines. Now that the principal wife has entered the family, she has dismissed all the concubines, leaving only a few that she thinks are good." The servant said slowly, "Aunt Guan was among the concubines who were dismissed. Although she wanted to stay, she had no choice."

"I see." Wen Tingbai nodded in understanding and said, "From this point of view, I'm afraid that Miss Guan has a close relationship with the General's Mansion. If she had benefited from the General's Mansion, how could she marry Yan Yuzhi as a concubine? I'm afraid that the general saw that this relative was only a distant relative and was unwilling to give this face. Miss Guan is living a miserable life now, and she might blame the General's Mansion for her current situation."

"Second Master is right. Now, do you want me to help you find out something?" The servant stood aside with a flattering smile on his face.

Seeing this, Wen Tingbai just smiled faintly and said, "Take someone to see where Miss Guan is now. I have to ask her if she can be of any use to me now. After all, everyone wants to get close to a good place like the General's Mansion. If I know more about the General's Mansion, I can know myself and the enemy, and I will never be in danger in a hundred battles. In this way, I can make more plans later."

The servant responded and went out to help Wen Tingbai with his work.

Wen Tingbai thought about the current situation and laughed out loud. It was a pity that a girl like Guan Surong had fallen into such a state. He remembered that when he met Guan Surong that day, she was beautiful and looked like a caring person.

On the other hand, when Guan Surong returned to the Song Mansion, she was indeed ignored by the head wife of the Song Mansion.

She and Madam Guan are now living under the roof of the Song Mansion. They don't have much money to begin with. They spent a lot of money on the lawsuit with Nan Hongqiu before. Now they really have no choice but to beg for money from the Song Mansion. As for when the begging will end, it's hard to say.

Mrs. Guan was sad in the courtyard every day because of the loss of her son. The old lady didn't care much about the mother and daughter now. The mistress of the Song Mansion only asked people to send some simple meals every day. Guan Surong and Mrs. Guan, who had always been pampered, had never suffered such hardship. Mrs. Guan was not in good health to begin with, and she became more depressed day by day after suffering such a big blow.

Guan Surong was angry but helpless. After all, with her current status, she no longer had anyone to rely on. The only person she and her daughter had in the capital was Old Madam Song. If she lost this support, they would be doomed.

Madam Guan looked at Guan Surong and said sadly, "My dear child, you are treated like this at home now. Your mother is sorry for you. When our family of three returned to the capital, we had everything we wanted. Who knew it would turn out like this now? Your eldest brother is gone too. Now I don't know what to do in the future."

Guan Surong was also very sad, and said in a low voice, "Mother, now it's my daughter's fault for being arrogant. When I first came to the capital, I didn't listen to you and only wanted to marry Yan Yuzhi. Now I finally hit a snag, and this is what I am facing today."

Madam Guan recalled the scene when their family just returned to the capital, and said to Guan Surong, "Now this matter cannot be blamed on you. I remember that when our family first came here, everything was clearly planned. Later, after Sister Ning came back, the general's family became wary of us."

"Although this Ning Jie'er is young, she is very smart and can see through people's minds. She should not be underestimated."

Guan Surong, who was standing by, also thought of the time when Song Wanning was here, and her husband Yin Yichen. She gritted her teeth and said, "Mother, I feel a little unwilling when I think of my cousin's husband. Thinking back to the past, I might as well fight for the position of concubine in the Prime Minister's Mansion. But now, it's too late to say anything. If there is still a chance for me to live in the Prime Minister's Mansion, everything will be solved."

"Sister Ning is guarding our family like a thief, so how can you have the chance to live in the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Madam Guan sighed and said slowly, "It's fine for me if we, mother and daughter, are struggling to survive in this mansion, but you are a girl of the right age. How can your mother bear to see you living a hard life with her here?"

Seeing this, Guan Surong looked at her old mother with tears in her eyes and said, "Mother, please believe me once. I will be a decent woman in the future and find a way out for myself. Since I have been a concubine once, it will not be a problem to be one again."

Mrs. Guan interrupted him when she heard this, "It would be fine if you became a concubine of a rich family, but it would be better not to be a concubine of a small family. The lady in the mansion now looks down on us mother and daughter, and one of the reasons is that you became someone else's concubine. This lady is from a rich family, and what she looks down on most is being someone else's concubine. Since you have already been a concubine once, how can you be willing to be a concubine again?"

Guan Surong listened to Madam Guan's words and comforted her, "My daughter is going to try her best to become the prime minister's concubine. If that doesn't work out, I can think about becoming the concubine of my cousin Lan in the general's mansion. As long as I have connections, I can still stand on my own."

Seeing that Guan Surong had made up her mind, Mrs. Guan said nothing more and let Guan Surong make her own plans.

Guan Surong is now in the Song Mansion, feeling extremely aggrieved but helpless. But now, she knows her future and can only rely on herself to fight for it.

However, not long after, God gave Guan Surong another chance, and Wen Tingbo sent her a message.
