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

Cui Xiaoxiao was extremely anxious after returning to Lan Courtyard. No one knew Wen Tingbai better than her.

Wen Tingbai is a real hypocrite. If they talk about the past, they did have some feelings for each other. But now, Wen Tingbai is no longer as warm to her as before, and Song Wanning, the wife who cannot afford to offend, is involved. I am afraid that she is in danger.

Cui Xiaoxiao thought about it and decided to find a way to save his life.

Ding Xiang, who was always loyal to Cui Xiaoxiao, quickly leaned over to ask, "Auntie, what happened? Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Dingxiang, tell me, what should I do if the Second Master wants to divorce me?" Cui Xiaoxiao said, tears streaming down her face. "I must not let him divorce me, but I don't have much time left."

If she lost Wen Tingbo, she would probably have no place to stand in this capital city anymore.

Ding Xiang thought about it and quickly gave Cui Xiaoxiao an idea, "Auntie, right now I'm afraid the only way is to stabilize the Second Master first and then have him have a child. If you get pregnant, as the saying goes, the mother will return with the child, so the Second Master must not divorce you."

Cui Xiaoxiao was even more anxious at this moment, "How can I get pregnant in such a short time?"

Tianxiang comforted Cui Xiaoxiao and suggested, "Don't worry, Auntie. I heard that there is a medicine shop in the capital that has a magic recipe that can make women pregnant quickly. If Auntie takes it, are you still worried about not having a child?"

Cui Xiaoxiao was desperate now, and when she heard there was a solution, she became anxious, "Okay, go find it for me right away, we'll spend whatever it costs."

"I will go find the prescription for you right away." Tianxiang said, and hurried out the door.

Not long after, the news that Cui Xiaoxiao sent people to look for the secret recipe for having a child spread to Song Wanning's yard.

Song Wanning was a little bit unbelievable when she heard this. After all, in her previous life, Cui Xiaoxiao had always been arrogant and had never looked for such a thing. "Really? Aunt Cui really asked someone to look for the secret recipe?"

"That's right." Zhuque whispered, "I saw it with my own eyes. Grandma, do you think I need to tamper with the secret recipe?"

"No need." Song Wanning said with a faint smile, "I was afraid that she would be divorced. Now that she knows how to worry, it's a good thing. Send someone to help her and find her the good prescription. It would be best if she could get pregnant quickly."

"Yes." Zhuque heard it and went down to do the work.

What Song Wanning didn't expect was that Wen Tingbai actually came to her yard with a pot of wine.

Wen Tingbai smiled brightly. Song Wanning felt that she had never seen Wen Tingbai smile like this in her two lifetimes. She just said, "Second Master, you are visiting me so late at night. Do you have anything to say?"

"Wan Ning, I am your husband. Isn't it legitimate for me to come to your yard?" Wen Tingbai smiled and raised the wine pot in his hand, saying, "Wan Ning, why don't you drink a couple of glasses with me?"

Song Wanning sneered in her heart, seeing what Wen Tingbai was thinking, and said, "It's not that I don't want to accompany you for a drink, but I have something urgent to do right now, so I'm afraid I can't accompany you. But Aunt Cui in the West Courtyard should be free, so you might as well go find Aunt Cui."

"Wan Ning, you still blame me." Wen Tingbai said, putting the wine glass in his hand on the table and drinking by himself, "Back then, I was sorry to you. I married you, but didn't cherish you, and left you on the wedding night, leaving you to be looked down upon by the people in this mansion and ridiculed by the people in the capital."

Song Wanning narrowed her eyes and smiled faintly, "Since Second Master knows, what are you doing here now?"

"I really want to make it up to you now." Wen Tingbai said, stretching out his hand to pull Song Wanning, but Song Wanning avoided him. Wen Tingbai was not angry, but continued, "Wanning, I understood your feelings before, and I ignored you. Now let me make it up to you, and we can live a good life."

Song Wanning's face turned cold. She glanced at the maid at the door and said indifferently, "Second Master has drunk too much. Help him go back to rest."

"I'm not drunk. I'm going to rest in your yard today." Wen Tingbai said, and he actually laughed. He looked at Song Wanning and said, "Wanning, give me a chance."

Song Wanning stepped back again and again, frowned and looked at the maids behind Wen Tingbai and said, "What are you doing? Why don't you help the Second Master down to rest?"

After hearing what Song Wan Ning said, the maids hurriedly stepped forward, supported Wen Tingbai and were about to leave.

At this time, the maid from the west courtyard came to report, "It's bad, it's bad, Second Master is not well. Aunt Cui ate something wrong and is now rolling on the bed in pain. Second Master, go and take a look."

Wen Tingbai was already a little drunk. He looked at the maid and asked, "What? Did you eat something wrong?"

Song Wanning looked at Wen Tingbai and suddenly had an idea. "Second Master and Aunt Cui have always been in love. Now that he is drunk, Aunt Cui is not feeling well. Hurry up and help Second Master to the West Courtyard to see Aunt Cui."

The maids hurriedly said yes and helped Wen Tingbai go straight to the west courtyard where Cui Xiaoxiao was.

Song Wanning looked at the empty yard, poured herself a cup of tea in a good mood, and said slowly, "I hope Aunt Cui's wish will come true."

Cai Que covered her mouth and laughed, "Grandma is right. With grandma's help, it will definitely work."

The next morning, Song Wanning did not receive good news from the West Courtyard, but instead received another event.

Cai Que walked in with the basin in her hand, looked at Song Wan Ning and said, "Grandma, something big has happened in the mansion. The family of Xun'er's unmarried daughter-in-law has come to visit."

"Isn't there still some time before the divorce date?" Song Wanning remembered that Wen Tingxun's wife was a dignified lady with an extraordinary family background.

"We're not here to discuss marriage." Cai Que murmured in a low voice, "I heard from the Liu family that they're here to cancel the engagement. Everyone knows that the Second Master favors his concubine over his wife, so the Wang family came to cancel the engagement and are unwilling to marry their daughter here."

"That girl is the Madam's niece. If we cancel the engagement, won't we offend the Madam?" Song Wanning thought of this and found it a little unbelievable. "Has it come to this point just to reject this marriage?"

"That's right." Cai Que nodded and said, "The Wang family probably hesitated for a long time, but they really didn't want their daughter to fall into the fire pit, so they took such a desperate measure."

Just as Song Wanning finished washing up, the maidservant beside Madam Wang came and said outside the courtyard, "Second Madam, Madam wants you to go to the hall to ask questions. As the saying goes, it is better to tear down ten temples than to ruin a marriage. We are all family, so please say good things about us and say good things about our Xun brother. Madam will definitely remember your kindness when the time comes."
