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

When Song Wanning heard what Madam Pei said, she was quite surprised and said, "Does the grain official Gu have any evidence? How could he say such a thing? Even if he holds a high position, if he doesn't have evidence, I'm afraid he can't be convicted."

Madam Pei sighed, looked at Song Wanning helplessly and said, "Who said it wasn't? It's just that Lord Gu is very arrogant because he is extremely favored by the current emperor. No one in the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice dares to challenge him. Lord Gu seems to want to squeeze our family out of the grain and grass, and we don't know what he will do next. I thought that if it doesn't work, I will let the child's father, your uncle, write a letter saying that our family retreated to Jiangnan and would not continue to do business in the capital. If you keep your life, at least the family can be fine. Look at these people now, one or two are so arrogant. If it weren't for such a critical moment, I wouldn't come to you for help. Now Xuanzhi has been detained in the Ministry of War, and those people in the prison have all been very harsh. I don't know how Xuanzhi is doing now."

Song Wanning looked at Madam Pei and said, "Don't worry, Aunt. I'll go out and check it out. I will definitely give Xuanzhi justice."

When Madam Pei heard this, she quickly said, "You, my child, have helped our family a lot. I came to tell you this today just to ask if you can ask the prime minister to help. After all, the prime minister has a say in the capital. Now that your uncle has gone to the general's mansion, it would be great if he could help. But you are pregnant now, how can we let you run around? If you get pregnant, our family will have no way to explain to the prime minister."

After hearing this, Song Wanning just held Madam Pei's hand and said, "Don't worry, Aunt. Our two families have always been aristocratic families, and my father will not ignore it. Just wait for my uncle to explain the reason to my father, and he will definitely help to smooth things over. Just wait for this matter to be settled, and I believe Xuanzhi will be fine."

After hearing this, Mrs. Pei finally calmed down. She looked at Song Wanning and wiped her tears, "My dear, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid we wouldn't know how to get through this."

Song Wanning knew that this matter was urgent, so she immediately said to Madam Pei, "Aunt, I will go back to the general's mansion first. Prime Minister Ling'er has something to discuss with my father, so she went to the general's mansion. I will take the carriage and meet with the prime minister as soon as possible to discuss a countermeasure."

"Okay, okay, I just feel sorry for you, child." Mrs. Pei helped Song Wanning out of the yard and watched Mrs. Pei get on the carriage.

Zhuque and Caique, who were beside Song Wanning, followed. Seeing this, Caique was immediately worried, "I hope nothing happens to Master Pei. If something happens, I don't know how Madam Pei and Master Pei will live."

Song Wanning sighed upon seeing this. The two maids around her were both loyal and righteous people. Pei Xuanzhi had confronted the bandits in order to protect them. Although the two maids did not say it, they were always grateful to Pei Xuanzhi in their hearts.

Song Wanning was driving the carriage to the General's Mansion, but she never expected that someone in front of her fell down, blocking her way. Song Wanning frowned and got off the carriage, but she didn't expect that the person who appeared in front of her was none other than the zither master Tang Heng.

Song Wanning felt strange and looked at Tang Hengzhi and asked, "Why is Master Tang Qin here now? Are you blocking my way again?"

Tang Heng saw Song Wanning's appearance, with no expression on his face. He just said calmly, "Madam, are you running around for the young master of the Pei family now?"

Song Wanning pondered for a moment, and before she could speak, Tang Heng continued, "If Madam listens to my advice, don't get involved in this matter, lest you bring trouble upon yourself."

"Xuanzhi and I are childhood sweethearts, so I will naturally do my best to save him. How can I just stand by and watch?" Song Wanning frowned and said slowly, "I understand the zither master's intention. But I'm sorry I can't obey your order. Besides, if I stand by and watch today, the fire has already spread to the Pei family, and I'm afraid it will soon spread to the Prime Minister's Mansion and the General's Mansion. I do this not only to help him, but also to protect myself."

Tang Heng looked at Song Wanning with a complicated expression. Seeing that Song Wanning insisted, he could not say anything more. He just whispered, "It's useless. The Pei family will definitely be in big trouble. If you run around for him now, you will only be in trouble. You might as well protect yourself first and take care of your body. The fall of the Pei family is God's will after all. If you believe me this time, just go back quickly."

Song Wanning listened to Tang Heng's persuasive words and said, "Master Tang, I never believe that fate is determined by heaven. I only believe that everything is in our hands. Until the last moment, it is still unknown who will win. Thank you for your reminder today."

After Song Wanning said this, she got on the carriage resolutely and no longer looked at Tang Heng's face.

Tang Heng knew that Song Wanning had made up her mind and it was difficult for him to stop her, so Tang Heng stood on the road and watched Song Wanning leave in the carriage.

Song Wanning was walking, but unexpectedly, before she reached the general's mansion, she met Yin Yichen who was riding back in a carriage.

Seeing this, Song Wanning hurriedly stopped Yin Yichen, "Master, I'm here."

Yin Yichen saw Song Wanning coming and sighed, "Why are you here? I knew you wouldn't stay at home obediently. You are pregnant now and your pregnancy is obvious. If you walk around with a big belly, what if you hurt the fetus?"

Song Wanning looked at Yin Yichen's face and said slowly, "I'm not in a hurry, so I wanted to see you as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures with you. Yichen is at home, and he must have heard about the Pei family's affairs. Now my aunt has come to me for help, and I wonder if I can help my aunt. Xuanzhi is imprisoned in the prison, and my aunt and uncle must be very worried."

Yin Yichen looked at Song Wanning and whispered to comfort her, "Don't worry, just wait for me to go to the Ministry of War to get the feel, and then we can think about what to do next so that we can have a plan in mind. I guess Pei Xuanzhi should be fine now, so wait for me to go and take a look and understand the situation first."

"That's great." Song Wanning looked at Yin Yichen and said softly, "I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to make this trip."
