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

When the housekeeper's mother saw Song Wanning, the fierceness on her face also faded a little. Now Song Wanning is someone that the whole capital wants to please. After all, her father and brother have returned with military exploits and are now in unparalleled glory.

When my mother saw Song Wanning kneeling on the ground, she quickly explained, "Second Madam, the Madam originally invited Aunt Cui to sit in the yard, but she didn't expect that Aunt Cui stole the Madam's dowry bracelet while the Madam was asleep. The Madam was angry and sent us here to check."

The mother took out the gold bracelet in her hand and gestured to Song Wanning with a smile, "Grandma, look, this is what was found in Auntie's quilt. There are witnesses and evidence. Auntie can't deny it. Madam has said that if you find evidence, just beat her with a big stick. Not selling it would be a kindness to her."

"Grandma, I didn't steal, I didn't steal." Cui Xiaoxiao hugged Song Wanning's trouser legs tightly, without the arrogance she had before. She just cried, "Grandma, save me. I will never dare to go against you again. It was Xiao Xiao who was wrong in the past. It was Xiao Xiao who was wrong. Xiao Xiao apologized to Grandma."

"Second Madam, if you have no other questions, we maids will send this thief away." The mother smiled and flattered Song Wanning, "It would be bad if she hurts you."

Song Wanning smiled slightly, looked at the leading woman, and asked, "Mom, let me ask you, does Tingbai know about this?"

"This..." The mother looked embarrassed, and looked at the maid on her left, then shook her head and said, "Second Master doesn't know, she is just a concubine. Since Madam has given the order, we servants will just do what Madam has ordered."

"Mom, I don't mean to stop you. It's just that Aunt Cui is Tingbai's favorite. As Tingbai's principal wife, I should protect Aunt Cui for him without him knowing. Otherwise, I'm afraid Tingbai will resent me when he comes back." Song Wanning said as she took two steps forward, blocking Cui Xiaoxiao behind her. She looked at the maid Caique beside her and said, "Go find where the Second Master is and bring him here. Tell him that something big happened in the mansion and ask him to come immediately."

Caique turned and left. The leading mother looked embarrassed and said, "Second Madam, if you don't let us work, we won't be able to explain to you, Madam."

"Nowadays, even if you are trying a beggar on the street, you still need to go through three trials and six trials." Song Wanning's face darkened. "Aunt Cui is still the concubine of the mansion. How can you let her be beaten out with a big stick?"

"This..." The leading mother turned to the other mothers around her with an embarrassed look on her face, and had to say, "If Second Madam can't find any evidence, we servants will follow your orders and kick Auntie out."

"Of course." Song Wanning said slowly, "Let's wait for the Second Master to come over and let him say a few fair words."

Song Wanning looked at Cui Xiaoxiao who was still kneeling on the ground. She wanted to let Cui Xiaoxiao see what a hypocrite the man she was with day and night was.

Not long after, Wen Tingbai finally arrived.

Unfortunately, he only glanced at Cui Xiaoxiao who was kneeling on the ground, then raised his head to look at Song Wanning, "What happened? I heard everything from outside.

Seeing this, the leader, Madam Liu, hurried forward and explained to Wen Tingbai respectfully, "Second Master, Aunt Cui stole Madam's dowry bracelet. There are witnesses and evidence. I was about to beat her with a big stick. But then I heard Second Madam say that you are the master of this courtyard, and no matter what you do, you should be informed."

"Tingbo, please believe me, I didn't steal..." Cui Xiaoxiao's hair had already been messed up by the harassment, and she was trying to crawl to Wen Tingbo with a disheveled appearance. "This is all a misunderstanding. Someone must have framed me, someone must have..."

"Xiao Xiao, I brought you back to the mansion because you saved my life and you said you loved me." Wen Tingbai stood straight, looking at Cui Xiaoxiao with a frighteningly cold gaze, which made Cui Xiaoxiao shudder. "Since you came to the mansion, you have caused me so many troubles, and I solved them one by one for you. Who would have thought that you would not repent and now you have even reached your hand into the wife's room. Don't blame me for not keeping you."

"Tingbo, how could you...how could you..." Cui Xiaoxiao's usually arrogant face was extremely sad. She really couldn't imagine that the man she loved so much in the past was actually such a mean person. She couldn't believe that this man could actually do such a thing. Now she saw Wen Tingbo's true character.

Now it seems that this bracelet is just a trap set by the mother and son to find a reason to drive her out of the house. And there is only one reason to drive her out, that is to please Song Wanning.

Cui Xiaoxiao now regards Song Wanning as her lifeline. In the entire mansion, Song Wanning is probably the only one who can save her. Cui Xiaoxiao said in a panic, "Second Madam, please be merciful and treat me as a kitten or puppy in this mansion. I will be honest and obedient in the future and will not cause trouble for you anymore."

Wen Tingbai was certain that Song Wanning would not forgive Cui Xiaoxiao, so he just smiled at Song Wanning and said, "As the mistress of Lan Courtyard, Wanning still has the authority to deal with a concubine. Wanning, just deal with it, and there is no need to send someone to tell me."

Wen Tingbo said this, thinking he was doing Song Wanning a favor, allowing her to avenge the humiliation she had suffered in the past, and also giving the couple a way out.

After hearing what Wen Tingbai said, Song Wanning just smiled faintly and said, "Since Second Master said so, I will deal with it drastically for Second Master."

Seeing Song Wanning's smile, Wen Tingbai thought that Song Wanning was no longer angry with him, so he smiled back and said, "If this is true, even if Wanning divorces this concubine for me and sells her off, I won't blame Wanning at all."

After Wen Tingbai finished speaking, he left the yard, leaving Song Wanning alone in the yard to deal with Cui Xiaoxiao's affairs.

The leading mother saw Song Wanning still standing in the yard. She was unsure of Song Wanning's intention and could only ask, "Second Madam, now that the Second Master has come, how should we decide this matter?"

"Since Second Master said that I will be the one to decide this matter, then..." Song Wanning looked down at Cui Xiaoxiao, who was kneeling on the ground and crying, and said in a deep voice, "Well, I will have to investigate carefully to find out what is going on. The government offices outside also pay attention to all aspects when solving cases. We are a marquis's mansion, so we naturally cannot have any false or wrongful convictions."

Song Wanning slowly walked to the stone bench in the yard and sat down. She looked at the maids and said slowly, "Tell me the whole story of this matter. Who discovered that the madam's bracelet was missing, and who found the madam's bracelet in this yard."
