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

Zhuque and Caique responded from the side. Caique said to Song Wanning, "We still don't know what Madam is going to do now. Is she going to give Guan Surong a warning?"

After hearing this, Song Wanning just smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, I'll see if she and her mother will still make me unhappy. If the two of them stop here and everyone lives in peace, I don't have to bring up his previous engagement. If she still doesn't repent and finds fault everywhere, don't blame me for being rude to her."

After hearing this, Cai Que also responded, "Madam, when I was a guest at the Qian family of the Dali Temple last time, I met the maid of the wife of the Minister of Revenue and talked to her for a while. I heard that the grandmother of the Minister of Revenue is not well-received in the family of the Minister of Revenue because her family is rich but has no connections in the officialdom. If it weren't for the fact that the son of the Minister of Revenue liked her and her family brought a lot of dowry, I'm afraid this marriage would not be possible."

Song Wanning was not surprised to hear this, and slowly said, "This is not surprising. The position of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is not low, but unfortunately his son does not like to study in the capital and has no hope of passing the imperial examination. He met the daughter of a wealthy man while traveling outside, and doing business is considered a good ending. Otherwise, how could he get the daughter of a wealthy man?"

Caique and Zhuque nodded vigorously.

Song Wanning smiled softly and said, "What's the name of the son of the Minister of Revenue? Where does the lady often go? Now that I know all this, it won't be difficult to take any action in the future."

Zhuque responded from the side, "Madam is right. I will go and find out for you right away."

"Don't ask. I'll tell my wife right away."

Yin Yichen's voice came into the house from outside. Song Wanning turned her head and saw Yin Yichen slowly walking in.

Seeing this, Song Wanning walked forward with a smile, looked at Yin and said, "My husband is back? My husband just left the court, I wonder if everything is going well?"

Yin Yichen glanced at the maids and servants around him. The servants understood what was happening and just went out.

Yin Yichen pulled Song Wanning to sit on a chair and told her about the major events in the court. "In recent days, the emperor has become more and more fond of Concubine Yu. Concubine Yu's favor in the harem is even more outstanding, which is far beyond the reach of Concubine Shu and the Queen. That's all. In the past few days, the emperor has killed many ministers for Concubine Yu. As long as these ministers write to the emperor and ask him to treat all the concubines in the harem equally, the emperor will be furious, which is really unbelievable. This is really different from the emperor's previous actions. Now I am also wondering what happened to make the emperor change so quickly."

"Since ancient times, heroes have been unable to resist the temptation of beauty. I heard that Concubine Yu has no foundation in the capital, but the emperor has already doted on her so much." Song Wanning said, and then she remembered something and immediately said to Yin Yichen, "I remember that the master sent people to investigate the matter of the zither player Tang Heng and his master, as well as Concubine Yu. I wonder if there is any clue now?"

"My people have investigated many times and finally found some clues." Yin Yichen looked at Song Wanning and said slowly, "This Concubine Yu's master was originally a concubine that the previous emperor loved very much. Later, she committed a crime and left the palace to practice. After a few years, people in the palace went to look for her and could not find her. Who would have thought that she would have sent a disciple into the palace. And this concubine also has a son."

When Song Wanning heard this, she was quite surprised and said, "Son? This concubine gave birth to a prince for the late emperor? The late emperor didn't have many sons. If he knew that he had a son, he would probably take the concubine back to the palace. Who knew that the concubine kept silent."

"That's right." Yin Yichen nodded and said slowly, "I don't know where her son is now, but judging by his age, he should be around 30 years old. Even if the concubine's son enters the capital, he can't become the emperor."

"This concubine has gone to such great lengths to do this, she must have some ulterior motive. What she is scheming for is... could it be..." She didn't dare to say the rest of the words, and said to Yin Yichen, "If this matter gets out of hand, who knows what kind of chaos it will cause."

Yin Yichen looked at Song Wanning and said slowly, "That's true, but I haven't found out where the concubine's son is now. If the concubine has any plans, her son should also come out to take action."

"Master is right, but we don't know where the concubine's son is right now. We can only wait for clues to emerge in the future before we can act." Song Wanning sighed, "Now that the country has finally settled down, there is such a big mess again. I don't know what will happen in the future."

"No matter what happens in the capital, I will protect you and the child." Yin Yichen hugged Song Wanning and said slowly, "I know what you just said about the wife of the son of the Minister of Revenue."

"How come you know all about the family affairs of these officials' wives?" Song Wanning teased Yin Yichen, "I see that you are quite gossipy. You want to know about the serious matters, and you also want to know about these trivial matters."

"This is not a trivial matter." Yin Yichen waved his hand and said to Song Wanning, "These officials are serving in the capital. If we don't know who their family members are and who their relatives are, we may not know their roots and who will cause trouble in the future. As the saying goes, knowing the roots and who the relatives are will ensure victory in a hundred battles."

Song Wanning was amused by Yin Yichen's words and immediately said, "Since Master said so, I will believe you this time. Master, please tell me, is there any secret in the family of the Minister of Revenue that I don't know?"

"It's not really a secret." Yin Yichen said slowly, "The family of the Minister of Revenue had a business problem in the early years and lost a lot of money. It was a time when they needed money. Who knew that his disappointing son came back and said he wanted to marry a rich man's daughter. The Minister of Revenue didn't agree at first, but his son really didn't have much ability, so he had to grit his teeth and agree. Although she married him, the wife of the Minister of Revenue was very dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law, and she never took her daughter-in-law to banquets outside. So the daughter of the rich man stayed at home day by day. A few days ago, she wrote a letter to her father and brother who were away from home. I'm afraid that their family will come to the capital soon."

"Going to Beijing?" Song Wanning asked in surprise. "In this case, I'm afraid this family will be able to find out the clues themselves without my help."
