Favoring concubines and ignoring wives? The mistress of the marquisate remarried a powerful official
Chapter 3 Father and Brother
Cui Xiaoxiao sat down at the table, propped up her chin with her hand and looked at Song Wanning, "I just came to tell you that although I am Tingbai's concubine, he only loves me. Even if I become a concubine, I will not serve you tea, and I will not come to your courtyard to pay my respects on weekdays. Do you know?"
As soon as Cui Xiaoxiao finished speaking, the seven or eight maids and servants standing behind Song Wanning all changed their expressions.
Concubines should serve tea to the mistress, this is a rule left by our ancestors. Who would have thought that this new concubine would be so unruly and presumptuous, really not taking the mistress seriously.
Before Song Wanning could speak, Cui Xiaoxiao beside her continued, "Besides, in my eyes, everyone is equal. Even if you are a concubine, I will not greet you according to the etiquette here when I meet you. Moreover, the things in my yard must be as good as those of the mistress of the house. Otherwise, I will go to Ting Bo and let him know that you treat me, a concubine, harshly and let him divorce you."
Song Wanning's reaction was much calmer than the maids and servants behind her. She just said calmly, "I understand. If you don't want to come, then don't come. No one is forcing you to come. The share of your courtyard is based on the share of concubines in the mansion. If you are dissatisfied, just go and find the master."
Song Wanning's behavior made Cui Xiaoxiao unable to recover. She looked at Song Wanning in shock and said, "Didn't I hear that people here value their authority the most? Are you not angry when I do this to you?"
"There's no point in getting angry." Song Wanning raised her head. "After all, as Miss Xiao Xiao said, Tingbai only loves you. There's nothing I can do even if I make a scene."
"Why is there no way?" Cui Xiaoxiao frowned and said, "I'll tell you the truth, Tingbai has promised me that he will help me become his legal wife in the future. Since Tingbai doesn't like you, you should divorce him to save me from having to work so hard in the future. Where else can you go than to be a widow here?"
The faces of the maids behind Song Wanning became more and more ugly. No one expected that this little girl would actually speak out to be promoted to the wife's wife. Throughout the ages, concubines are concubines and wives are wives. There is no reason for a concubine to be promoted to the wife's wife.
If such a thing really happened, I'm afraid the entire Zhongping Marquis' Mansion would be laughed at in the capital.
Moreover, a mere concubine dared to discuss the marriage of the mistress of the house and asked her to divorce. This was really shocking. I am afraid there is no other woman like her in the world.
Seeing that Song Wanning didn't say anything, Cui Xiaoxiao thought that she hadn't figured it out yet, so she just sighed and said, "Women of your time are really pitiful. They would rather be widowed for the rest of their lives than divorce and find their own good life."
Song Wanning only smiled lightly, not arguing with Cui Xiaoxiao, "If you are not pitiful, why did you marry into the Wen Mansion? No matter what, I am Wen Tingbai's legal wife, right?"
When Cui Xiaoxiao heard Song Wanning say this, she choked for a moment and said, "The one who is not loved is the mistress."
"I don't know if the one who is not loved is a mistress." Song Wanning raised her eyes and said calmly, "I only know that I am in charge of the livelihood of the whole family now. I also have a dowry from the Song Mansion, which can ensure that I have enough food and clothing, and I will never starve to death in this life. Can you do it?"
Seeing that she couldn't make it through with Song Wanning, Cui Xiaoxiao blushed and said, "What do you have to be proud of? You just had a good birth, but you really think you are a piece of cake. If you didn't have your family, you might not have lived as well as I do. I don't need to ask you for money. Tingbai has plenty of money. If you don't give me a share, I will just go and ask him."
Song Wanning didn't say anything.
Cui Xiaoxiao's words reminded her of her father, General Song. Now that her father and brother Jian were still alive, Wen Tingbai didn't dare to do anything to her. But later, General Song and Song Wanning's brother Song Lan died in battle one after another. Without the strong support of her mother's family, Song Wanning was manipulated by the Wen family.
And now, General Song and Song Lan are still alive.
Song Wanning quickly stood up from the stone table and said to Cai Que, "Quickly bring me paper and pen. I want to write a letter to my father and brother."
Caique said yes and left to get the letter.
Cui Xiaoxiao saw that Song Wanning ignored her, and immediately felt bored. Before leaving, she just curled her lips and said, "Just wait and see. If you don't want to divorce, you will suffer in the future. Anyway, Tingbai loves me and will not protect you at all."
Song Wanning ignored Cui Xiaoxiao's departure. She was thinking about her father and brother's situation on the battlefield. She remembered that in her previous life, the veteran general her father had trusted for more than ten years defected to the enemy, which led to her father and brother being ambushed and killed on the battlefield by the enemy. Now that she has a new life, she cannot let such a tragedy happen again.
Cai Que stood beside Song Wanning, wanting to say something but stopping herself, and finally said, "Miss, although the Wen family is a noble family, our Song family is not something that can be manipulated by others. Miss, you are being bullied by them like this? They are going too far."
Song Wanning kept writing, writing down every detail of the news she had heard on the battlefield in her previous life, and said slowly, "They dare to do this now, just because there is no one in my Song Mansion. I will settle the matter with them when my father and brother return."
After listening to Song Wanning's words, Caique also understood.
Song Wanning sealed the letter in her hand and handed it to Cai Que. She patted Cai Que's hand and said, "Come with me out of the house now. I want to personally take this letter to Fengxin Hall to mail it."
Fengxin Hall is the fastest place to send letters in the entire capital. It is said that there is no place like Fengxin Hall, and letters can be sent to any corner of the world. However, the price of sending letters in Fengxin Hall is dozens of times more expensive than that of ordinary post stations.
Cai Que said yes and followed Song Wanning out of the Wen Mansion.
Letter Hall.
Song Wanning stood at the door and said to the shopkeeper of Fengxin Hall, "Shopkeeper, I want to send a letter. The sooner the better. The price is negotiable."
The shopkeeper was always working with his head down, but at this moment he didn't even raise his head. "Where to send it?"
Song Wanning placed the letter in her hand on the table and said softly, "Send it to Huizhou."
"Huizhou? There's a war going on there, so the money charged is very high." The shopkeeper looked up after hearing this, and happened to see a beautiful young lady with extraordinary appearance coming. Immediately, a smile appeared on his face.
The shopkeeper said in a deep voice, "Is it important that you send it, young lady? Who is it sent to?"
"Send it to General Song Lan in Huizhou." Song Wanning was thinking about getting the letter, so she said, "The price is negotiable. As long as the letter is sent as quickly as possible, I will give Feng Xintang a hundred taels of silver as a reward."
After hearing what Song Wanning said, the shopkeeper happily took the business.
After finishing the matters at hand, Song Wanning finally felt relieved, and she led Caique out of the door.
Song Wanning left in a hurry and naturally did not notice the man coming out from behind her. It was Yin Yichen, the head of Fengxintang.
When the shopkeeper saw Yin Yichen, he quickly greeted him, "Boss."
Yin Yichen looked at the heart in the shopkeeper's hand and whispered, "Did that woman send a letter to Huizhou just now?"
The shopkeeper nodded and hinted to Yin Yichen, "Boss, the lady left in a hurry. I guess there is some important information in the letter in your hand. Why don't we open it and take a look?"
In addition to sending letters, Fengxintang also secretly does the business of reselling information.
Yin Yichen just said calmly, "Forget it, since they paid a lot of money, send it out quickly and don't waste time."
